Petitions against the Corn Importation Bill were presented by the Earl of St. German's ; four from .Corn wall, by 'the Earl of Plymouth ' • five from Warwickshire,, by the Duke of Portland; one from Northumberland, complaining also of the operation of the Cash Payments Resumption Bill ; by the Earl of Egremont; two from Sussex (and three also from Sussex ; one of them from the Sussex Agricultural Association,- complaining of Agricultural Distress), and by the Earl of Win aelsea, one from Rutlandshire ;, a Petition also by. Lord Erskine', from .Poplar, Bromley, and parts:adjacent, in favour of the 111 Treatment Of Cattle RECORD COMMISSIONERS (IRELA.Np), &c. • - - - The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE stated, that what.he said on a.forMer evening had been misunderstood, in to the Commissioners•of Courts_ of Justice in 11.7glarul, respect ivhorri he - had no complaint whatever to ma,..WOurthe con trary) by their persevering exertions, they had produced a sav ing to the public of upwards of 60,0001. per annum in the Court of - Ekchequer alone, and there was every season to believe that a considerable further saving would be effected ; and he wished to impress Upon the Noble Earl opposite the great utility that might prise from instituting: inquiries in Ireland.. What he alluded..to'bn a former evening was the Commissioners of Re cords-in Ireland, appointed in 1810, who had Incurred a large amount of expence, without,,as far as he could learn, any cor responding advantage, •and he moved on the 22d, May, for arr Account of the expences of that Commission since 1820, but which had not yetibeen laid upon the Table. The Earl of LIVERPOOL sai4:.the Government were, not inattentive to the subject - of-inquiries in Ireland ; an Act-had -passed last Session: for the p'pose o,f instituting an inquiry into the various. branches of the - revenue in -Ireland,,which there was every reason to believe would be productive of' ninth utility. With 'regard to the account alluded to, he had mentioned the non-production of it to his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland,. who had in con Sequence written there., but there had not yet been time to receive an answer. T j he Marquis WDOWNBIII,ItE expressed himself satisfied with what had been stated by the Noble-Earl. MARRIAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Order of the Day having been moved by Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, the Earl of Shaftesbury presented the Report of the Marriage Act Amendment Bill, with Amendments. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his approbation of the provisions introduced, with a view prospectively to prevent improper Marriage, upon the priiiciple, that a marriage once contracted pught,to be indissoluble. His Lordship then pro ceeded at 'considerable length to state objections to the retro spective part of the Bill ; his motion for the postponement of the considkration of which he regretted their Lordships refused to agree to, as he thought the retrospective enactments had, in point of fact, no connexion with the prospective, clauses, and that they ought to form a separate Bill. - These retrospective enactments went to make valid (with certain exceptions) all marriages that had taken place by license - since 1754, the date of the Marriage Act, which would otherwise, under the Opera t:on of that Act, be deemed null and void. But their Lord ships should be aware, that whilst these enactments went, ge nerally. speaking, to legalize the marriages of the superior classes of society-that had taken place by license, they took no notice whatever of the other classes who had been married by banns, and who, in - the case of fraudulent banns, were left to all the consequences of , void marriages, and the bastardizing of issue. His Lordship stated several cases in which the retro spective enactments, as they at present stood,' would operate most injuriously with regard to the rights of parties now en titled to property, in consequence of the invalidity of mar riages, which would now be rendered valid, and where they had sold their Reversionary, Interest, by taking the property from those in possession of it, and who had purchased it, but who would have no remedy against any one for the money which they thus lost, together with the property. Ile con cluded by reading several amendments and provisos, which, if their Lordships decided to enact the retrospective clause, he should propose in a subsequent , stage. The principal ob jects of these amendments and provisos were to declare all those marriages invalid which had been decided to be so in actions or suits in Courts of Law or Equity, and to enact that the rendering marriages valid as proposed, should "not affect any deeds or instruments respecting• - property settled or sold, under the belief that such. marriages were null and void. Lord ELLENI3OROUGH said he had felt much anxiety on- finding all the talent, the judgment and the learning of the Noble and Learned Lord arrayed against him with regard to this Bill; but that anxiety had been much diminished after , hearing the Noble and Learned Lord, as he found that the Noble and. Learned Lord's objections were little more than what had occurred to himself. He could see no reason for a separation of the prospective and retrospective parts of the Bill, having gone on unanimously to enact that certain forms being complied with, marriages contracted in future should be indis soluble, he thought the.more natural course was to apply this principle to the marriages which had taken place, but which under the Marriage Act would be invalid. He did not believe that under the operation of these retrospective enactments, evils would arise in any degree equal to those which had arisen, and were every day increasing, in consequence of the operation of the Marriage Act. And he was satisfied that the adopting the principle of the indissolubility of marriage as the principle of our law would be in every point of view most conducive to the peace, the happiness, and the morality of society. He trusted their Lordships would pass the retrospective clause, upon which he was confident the happiness not only of one, but of many families, the quieting of apprehensions, the security of property, and the =orals:of the country de pended. The LORD CHANCELIBIiMoved that the retrospective clause be left out, merely to'put his opinion upon record. The Earl of HARROWBY said, the retrospective clause was calculated to quiet the apprehensions of families, but at the same time affected the property of others, who, as the Noble and Learned Lord stated, were not in the situation of having violated the existing laws. The Noble Lord opposite (Ellen borough) had expressed a desire to concur in the amendments of the Noble and Learned Lord, and he certainly thought that the retrospective clause, so modified, was likely to confer great benefit on the country. He thought it would be better to move the amendments now since, if they were carried, the objections of many Noble Lords, who would otherwise oppose the retro spective clause, might be removed. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, .he could have no ob jection to the course proposed by the Noble Lord (Harrowby). The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that though he had no difficulty in declaring that he was for a retrospective clause, yet he was against such a clause affecting suits actually pending. After a short conversation respecting the mode of putting the question, in which Lord Redesdale, the Earl of Rosslyn, bar). Grey, and Lord Lauderdale participated, the question, that the retrospective clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill, was put, and agreed to without a division. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved, as an Amendment to the first proviso, that this Act do not extend to any marriage, with respect to the validity of which any suit is now pending. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that if there were a class of persons entitled to the. protection of their Lordships, it was those who had contracted marriages, under an ignor ance of the operation of one of the most mischievous and im moral laws that had ever disgraced the legislature of the coun try. He was prepared to go back to every case where no actual possession had been created by the sentence of a Court of Law, and he should, therefore, oppose the Amendment of the Noble Lord. The Earl of WESTMORLAND opposed the Amendment. —There were two classes of persons,who would be affected by this measure, one class who were seeking to avoid, and the other to confirm, their contracts by resorting to a Court of Law, and the effect of his Noble Friend's amendment would be to de prive the latter class of the power of carrying into effect an hon ourable intention of confirming existing engagements. The House then divided on the Amendment — Contents, 28— Non-Contents, 67 —Majority against the Amendment, 39. After a short conversation, in which Lord Ellenborough, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Rosslyn, and Lord Holland par ticipated, the Report was ordered to be taken into further con sideration on Fnday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MISCELLANEOUS. The committal of the Scotch Juries Bill was postponed un til to-morrow. Mr. CURWEN presented a petition from Robert Wood, Esq. late a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army, praying (as we understood) some compensation for services rendered to the Army. . • Lord PALMERSTON said the statement of the petitioner was untrue. Ile•was a defaulter to the amount of 8,0001. ; his commission had been sold, and the money in the hands of his agents - seized towards making good this sum ; but the money raised was not more than 4,7001., so that he was still a debtor to the public in 3,3001.; and it was only on account of his circum-, Stances that the claim had.nst been enforced. Mr. LENNARD spoke in favour of the petitioner's claim. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table ; but Lord PALMERSTON resisted the motion that it be print ed, on the ground that the petition had stated that which was unfounded in fact. Colonel DAVIES said the practice resorted to in this case was a part of the system of discharging Officers from the ser vice without a court-martial, and he should bring the subject under the notice of the House. Mr. HUSKISSON said he was sld enough to recollect the petitioner being &Member of that House, and certainly he con stantly supported the Administration of the day. This was when Mr. Windham was Secretary at War; and it was not to be supposed that that Administration had wantonly taken away the commission of one of their supporters. Mr. HUME supported the petition." Mr. H. G. BENNET said the printing of petitions had ori ginally been considered as a matter of right. He cautioned the House not to adopt the new doctrine of -the Noble Lord, which would have the effect of gagging the people. Lord PALAIERSTON said, that still assuring the House that the petition contained an untrue statement, he would not give the House the trouble of dividing on the. question. Mr. WI NN said the printing of petitions was entirely dis cretionary in the House. . The petition was then .ordered tube printed. HIGHGATE CHAPEL. Mr. BYNG moved for leave to bring in a Bill to authorise (as was understood) the pulling down of Highgate Chapel; and erecting another.in its stead. Mr. Alderman Wow) opposed, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM -supported. the Motion. A conversation of some length followed between several Hon. Members, in the course of which Mr. Wetherell, Mr. P. Moore; Dr. Lushington, Sir James Mackintosh, and Mr. Ser geant Onslow supported, and Mr. Hume, Mr. Abercromby, Mr.' C. Calvert, Sir R. Wilson, Mr. Ricardo, the Attorney- General, and Sir J. -Newport opposed it. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Motion . - 57 Against it - . 29 Majority - -—2 B . SALT TAX. Mr. LYTTLETON presented a Petitiop from the Proprie tor of a Salt Pit in Chester, complaining of the retention of the two shillings duty on Salt.—Ordered to lie on the table and be printed. SCOTTISH PRESS. ' . Mr. ABERCROMBIE gave notice, that he should to-mor= row move for Copies of the proceedings in the Scottish Courts between Alexander and Borthwick, and of the Criminal Pro ceedings instituted against Borthwick. YEOMANRY. _ . Mr. HUME, after referring to the allowances made to the different Yeomanry Corps, moved for. Returns of the Claims made by the Bedford, Bucks, Essex, London, and Devon, within the last year. • Mr. DAWSON opposed . the motion. The regulations affecting the Yeomanry were general, and the selection of particular districts appeared to convey a censure upon them. Captain MABERLY declared his intention of voting for the motion, because, as an office: of a Yeomanry Corps, he thought it would throw a slur upon that corps to wish to: withhold any information asked for. Colonel MACQUEEN wished to know if the Hon. Member for Aberdeen would state the authority upon which he had been induced to make this motion. • Mr. HUME said, that this was a question the Hon. Member was by no means entitled to put. Colonel MACQUEEN said that as far as he was concern ed, as Colonel of the Regiment which had been alluded to i he could have no objection to give every information in his power. Lord ALTHORP spoke in favour of the motion. Mr. WYNN observed, that the present motion could not be agreed to without bearing an invidious meaning. The Marquis of CHANDOS. defended the Bucks Yeo manry. Mr. HUME said he thought the circumstance of the Bucks Yeomanry charging so much as they had done for coming up to the Coronation, was sufficient to warrant their making an in quiry on this subject... Lord PALMERSTON felt himself quite at a loss to under stand upon what Parliamentary ground the Hon. Member made his motion. It might be satisfactory to the Honourable Member to . know that not one of the cbrps he had selected for his return had received one shilling for the year 1821, except for permanent duty.—(Hear !)—The pay for that was 53. a-day, and nothing had been paid to them for suppressing riots. Mr. DAWSON explained. The Marquis of CHANDOS explained. Mr. BENNET contended that there was nothing invidious in the motion of his Honourable Friend. He expressly stated that he called for Returns with regard to these particular Regi ments, because it appeared that they were more expensive than others. After a few, words from Mr. MoNcx, Mr. HUME, and Mr. DawsoN, the motion was withdrawn, upon an understanding that the deficiency in point of - information in the present ac counts should be supplied._ . .A COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that having on former occasions called the attention of the House to this subject, he could not be expected to go largely now into it. His former motion had been negatived by four.votes only. There was something essen tially wrong in the constitution of the Court of Chancery and of the High Appeal Courts, particularly as to expence and delay. The oppression on the suitors in equity was enormous. Why, it would be said, were there no petitions on the table ? There was such a terror of that jurisdiction, vested in the breast of one individual, as to cause all petitions to be prevented. He had had numberless applications to himself personally. He pledged his honour that he knew many cases of the greatest oppression, although the interest of the parties prevented all chance of their being publicly known. A person having been left a' 23th share of a property near Islington, for which he calculated he would receive 12001. a friendly suit to decide the property had been instituted, and after twelve years a decree gave him 4501. out of the property, as the expence of his share had been 7501. The House Kuld not forget that there had been 28 shares. He could quote several other cases equally oppressive. He had no per sonal interest in the amelioration of the Courts—he wished as a Legislator to replace the two Courts in such a situation as to be useful to all the suitors in obtaining justice. Was his object not a good one ? He would ask the opposers of his motion to place their hands upon their hgarts, and say whether they thought that no injustice was committed through the present constitution of those Courts ? Sir S. Romily had foreseen, on the appointment of the. Vice Chancellor, all the baleful effects of that appoint ment. VariOus other men of great_ abilities had objected to that measure. That Bill had been enacted in an evil hour, for it had already been productive of great evils.—The business of the Great Seal was so far in the Court of Chancery, to admini ster to suitors in equity at as cheap and quick a rate as possible. What would Lord Hardwick say if he now saw the change, when you could only get at the Great Seal through the Vice Chancellor, at twice the expense and three times the delay ? The great talents of Lord Eldon were so used elsewhere, that he could not, though acting constantly, deipatch the publiC buSir_ ness. The truth was, that he was called to attend every Conn,' cil, and was more engaged as a statesman than a lawyer,— Look at the prophecy of Sir S. Romilly ; he said the altera tions of the Court would alter the functions of the Chancellor, leaving him that in name, but the least of his business would be in the Court of Chancery. What was thus said, he (Mt. M. A. Taylor) could prove true if figures spoke an intelligible language. In saying this he meant nothing against Sir John Leach, but he must do his duty. In the last eight years and a half only fifty-three causes were heard by the Lord Chan cellor, and in the Vice Chancellor's Court, 2,533. Well, was not that withdrawing the business from the Great Seal ? Eight years he was occupied in hearing 157 appeals from both the Courts. Now there were 109, rather 100 appeals to hear, which would require four years to hear at the same pro portion ; so that appellant suits, after going' through all the horrors of an equity process, would still have four years to pass through before they could be settled. It should be admitted that many important motions were settled ; but he stood upon the appeal. The suitor should not be put to the double expense of a suit before the Vice-Chancellor and one also before the Chancellor. He put it to Gentlemen on all sides of 'the House, whether those niatters'did not recitiiie a remedy ? If such delays occurred with the present Lord 'Chancellor, what would it be with others of leis diligence ? 'With resPect to mo tions, 5145 motions were heard by thelAird Chancellor in eight years, and what was Clone in the Vice-Chancellor's Court? He heard 14,960, not motions of course, bnt acthal inotions - . These motions he w i shed the Registrar to dist inguish 'fact, thethan cellor lamented the motions Sent up 'from the dice-Chancellor, a statement of which was alinost daily to be foutid in the public prints. On the . subject of motions in the iiew Court; Sir Samuel Romilrhad said nothing,as appeals *Add increase in . consequence of its erection,' and the staterbent'Of numbers' he now made justified that prophecy.' Not only harithe motions increased, but expense and delay went - on with that increase - almost hanclin hand: The result 'of the Creation of this new CoUrt was, that suitors really had - not that justice done them which they had a right to expect. The Chancellor could not hear all the motions .he otherwise would have heard, and that - because of his attention being 'divided between so many objects. The Vice-Chancellor now generally 'took the new motions-- the result of Which was an increase iii the 'appeals. 'With re spect to exceptions, there were nine in Chancery 37, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court 156 and that during the same Period.. The petitions in Chancery were 4071 ;i in the Vice-Chancellor's Conrt23so. There was veil , little use; 'perhaps, in going into this detail,. except inasmuch as it chewed the evil of drawing the, Chancellor from his: proper place. He (iH: T.) endea voured many Years ago to leave with the Chancellor 'only the business of the Great Seal, and relieve him from the bank ruptcy: But the Noble Lord said " no ;‘ the consideration of; these cases reentires great talent and much experience, and must not be rashly touched." He:admitted the clearness rind - pre-' . cision Of, the Noble Lord; but still he Wished' that the 'duty imposed on the Lord Chane'ellor by the Statute of Eliza beth should be separated from that which constitutionally be.: longed to the Great Seal. That object, however, was con stantly resisted In this House. Bankruptcy , cases, as well as others, ' were now referred to the Vice-Chancellor, and from Him back again to the Chancellor, and of course expense and delay almost necessarily following. He (Mr. M. A. T.) wished the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Londonderry) was 'Per sonally cognizant of the horrors of these things, though he hoped personally he never would ; but still he could assure the Noble Lord, that it would be better for him, labonous as his duties were in this House, to continue its sitthigs-twO maths' longer in every year, rather than undergo the ansdetyand misery of a suit in Chancery. For his own part, he merely* wished to state facts, and let Gentlemen decide the case 'upon its real merits. The evils of the Court were not df an'insulated cha racter, as to the mere suppliants of that Gant. - No one knew when he might be dragged through the 'horrors of that equity ordeal—perhaps be ousted of their fortunes and to those who, wished their accordance he offered this merciful thition. Now a word as to the appellant jurisdiction in the Utilise of Lords. He held in hiS hand a list of the causes heard sii*e the appoint ment of the Vice-Chancellor, and as new brooms generally swept clean, there was a greater exertion to clear them off. Al ter 11 years standing, 'there werdcleared off, in the first year of the Vice-Chancellor's appointment, 66 causes ; in the 2d, 82; a considerable number; 3d, ; 4th, 42 ; sth, 35 6th, 27 ; 7th; 41 ; Bth, 22 ; 9th, 46; such was the state of 'appeals up to the 10th May,.1822. There now remained to be heard of appointed appeals, 122 ; not appointed, 35 ; so that takillgThe gross num ber and the average rate at which they were heard, it would still require four year 3 to clear them off: Ought snitors to be sub jected to such a state of things? - It appeared that Scotch ap peals could not be attended to at all ; and he Heard it rumoured thasoine intermediate tribunalwas in contemplation for the pur pose of saving the terrible expense to . whieb parties were now ex posed.' The Lord Chancellor had more than he could do, what • with original causes, motions, petitions, and cases of bankrupt- Cy ; and his (Mr. 111.2 L T.'s) Complaint was ; theta man Of such, great talents as the Lord Chancellor was not allowed to remain in his own place.' The Judges of SCbtland now wished an in termediate tribunal, although some time'ago, when he called the attention of the house to such u - rneasure, it was altogether ne glected. The old constitutional principles of the Court should be attended to, and the Chancellor not be drawn from his duties. He (Mr. M. A. Taylor) did not wish to destroy the Vice-Chan. cellor's Court at once, but he called uPon the. House to see if something better could not be substituted in its Place. He called upon them to say if his statements were not fully borne out—if the suitors of the Court were as amply attended .to. as they had a right to expect ? If they were not satisfied of the misery en tailed on thousands by the delay in cases of appeals, no language of his, no powers of declamation, could possibly convince them. If they were not satisfied, could they tell the country there was no necessity for inquiry ? From conversations he had held with the Great Seal, he hoped, and continued to hope : till very lately, that he would originate himself some measure on this snhject.: Lord Eldon said he did not like my plan ; but 1 replied I had no particular plan ; that any plan was immaterial to me, pro vided the delay and expense attending suits were removed.— And I further added, that until that were effected, I would not cease from urging on some such measure. The Noble Lord then wished me to delay the measure till after Easter._' I did delay it; but he then told me, he shortly intended retir ing from the Great Seal—Ulcer, hear, and a„laugh from some Members of the Oppositidn), and did not feel ,it, would be de licate to interfere, but would leave the matter to his suc cessor. I then said, no young Chancellor would be likely to undertake it ; and in a conversation had with the Noble Lord about a month ago, he said he would do nothing at all about it. I replied, I was very sorry for it; and I told my Noble Friend. —for so I shall always call that man for whom 1 have a very great regard—that I myself would bring the su:iject before the notice of Parliament. I principally mention this to account for my not bringing it forward at an earlier period of the Session* (Hear, hear !)-4 shall not further trespass on the patience of the House than merely to state my motion, and that is—" That this House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole house to consider of the Act of the 53d Geo. 111. an Act intended to facilitate the administration of justice ; I shall also move it, as an instruction to the Committee, to limit the duration of the Vice Chancellor's Court to a year or two, or some shortperiod." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not see that it was ne cessary for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to call for a Committee to inquire into this subject, as he seemed to have made up his mind already as to what ought to be done. He could not deny that proceedings in the Court of Chancery were attended with considerable expense; but this was not the. ground on which a Committee was called for, but the delay of which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman complained. The lion. and Learned Gentleman tl - tought the House ought to in • terfere to take away one branch of the Court, which, in,his judgment, instead of ridding the business, contributed to the delay. It had been said, that the Lord Chancellor was more a Statesman than a Lawyer, and was frequently withdrawn front the Court of Chancery to attend Cabinet Councils.—He there fore begged to say, that the occasions on which the Lord Chan cellor was so called away, were extremely, rare, and the' time thus taken from Chancery was hardly. worthy of a moment's consideration. With respect- to : ,the exertions made by the Lord Chancellor himself, he begged to . . say, that few Judges had so little observed what were called holidays as he had. Such days he frequently devoted not to the gene ral business of the Court, but to the hearing of any particular case that might press on him. To judge of 'What he did, it would be better it the attention of the House, were directed to the Returns on the table. From these it would appear that there was little arrear in that Court but with respect to cases of 4ppeal. He 'believed it would be found thainet cause stood forkklicaring which had been set down anterior to the last HZ believed such to be the fact. The appeals from the 'Luce Chancellor's Court were considerable. in point of numbers, but not more so than might be expected from the number of causes there disposed of. But this, it was com plained, introduced a new practice in appeals on motions.— It was, however, •to be remembered, that hearing these op , 'peals, in effect.,many of the causes themselves were heard and disposed Of:' and, after all,. these appeals„ were in fact no more than re-:hearings of the cause, which the Suitor would have. 'a right to derrfand if his case had, been disposed of by the Lord Chancellor hirnAelf. The Hon. and Learned . Gentleman had made a companson e between the business. disposed of by the Lord Chancellor an,. Vice Chancellor, and put it as if the former had sat at lionw at his ease since the appointment of, the Vice-Chancellor. 13 . 41 it should be recollected in the first instance that the Lord Chancellor heard Appeals in the House of Lords three days in the:Week. This, of course, left him but half the time for the Coutt of Chancery, which the Vice-Chancellor could give to his and' then it was well known that most of the cases brought before the Lord Chan cellor were argued at great length, while .many .of those taken before the Vice-Chancellor were not litigated! He would state what the Lord Chancellor had done in 1821 . Ile had disposed. of 418 motions, 8 causes, 6 exceptions (the majiiity of the mo tions it should be stated were causes), 5 pleas and demurrers, 57 partnerships, 103 bankrupt and 245 lunatic.petitions, and ' in all 890 different matters had come before him.
