ships would not he influenced by a recent case in legialatiug
ha sal. oat the suhjeet of lunacy. He objeeted to the pro-
p eel if transferee. the examination from the
Mestere in Lunacy to • jiidge.of the superior courts, Laid
thought that, if any alteration were to be made in the
CZ;t state of the law in that respect, it would be much
to refer tier examination to the Lords Justices or the
Lord CIMUICeIb.r He etrimigly deprecated the clauses by
which the ex imMatton of the alleged lunatics, at their own
wellies.. were to be conducted in public, and pained some
strinent remarks ea the provinces for excluding medical
teetniouy. Entering into the various details of the bill, he
prote.t.l azaimt this thoroi4h alteration of a system
,which. us spite of rise sclusowWged evil, had many silent
*dean cage..
Lord OHAFTESDT'RY defended the bill. and wee con.
?heed that the provision directing the alleged lunatic to
Le examiux.l by the judge mid jury previous to the reap-
tt•+a of any
evideoce, ail the clause deciding that no eel-
denee etteudiug over a period of more than two years
should be received, would save a vast amount of time and
metier. Hr entirely concurred with the claumeesandis);
enedx;al testimony as long as any other was available, ea it
wea very ort,ii extremely contradictory and valueless. He
coucluded with eoue suggestioas as to the management of
the property of lewd ice and the visitation of aaylums, which
lie limited would he embodied in the bill.
The LtHtli CH ittiCIILLOK repelled the attacks of Lewd
Chislawforil, and charged him with abort memory in for-

A ftcr the semarksies was leased, the ouster gave notice

up to the preeme Mee, oat of 561 cams there were Ml in
which se sash desire had been expeasal The worth of
the them were, that every communion in lunacy should be
tried by a jury, but that the noble and learned lord had
himself exclaim, was not his meaning. Ho concurred
with his uoble and learned friend on the wookook to the
desire that the canes to which the ball applied should be
tried by one of the superior judger. That would be • great ,
improvement, but there were very great objections to saying
that those eases should always be tried by a jury. Sir Hog
Cairns' bill said they 'nightie tried by. jury, but they ought
to hew unless circumstances made it extremely inconvenient.
He thought it ..add be right to say the cam should be
tried before one of the superior judges or one of the Lords
Justices. With regard to the testimonv of medial men,
he could not concur is thinking it would he either safe, or
