LAW HISTORIC
Lid LTNDHURsT said that notice had been Rivera of
the inmates of the government to introdoee a bill in the
Ham of Commons on Monday week, with respect to the
Over at Chancery. He wished to know whether that bill
watt he handed es the report of the special conosiedon;
end whether it was the intention of the government to tarry
hate full and complete effect tho recommendations of that
imesmionon ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the nodes to
which his noble and learned nista referred, applied to a
bill that would be framed on the report of the commissioners.
Until he had seen the bill drown up in full he could not
Mate its details. It would shortly be submitted to parlia-
ment for consideration. As fur as he had considered the
report, which woe very voluminous, undoubtedly the notice
in question Mil. intended to apply to that report, and the
object of the bill was to carry out the recommendation of
the whole of the first report. The report, however, did not
go to the jureidivtion of the court, bat roserred to the tom-
minion the power of making • further report on that sub-
ject. A bill would be laid on the table of the otLer house
to-marrow (this day), which he had caused to he
reference prepared,
with to the Court of Chancery. He bad found
that the labours of the C 0011016400 embraced so wide a field
that if he waited for their entire report it might be late in
the cession before he could introduce the bill, which did not
interfere with any of the recommendations of the COM-
Lord BROUGHAM was glad to bear that a bill would
be presented to-morrow night. The main object was to give
jurisdiction as the report gave it, and to pave the way for
the atiolitiou of the Master's office.
HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER. who wore an official
uniform, said --In obedience to your lordships command, I
waited on her the Queen with your lordships
loyal and dutiful adders., in reply to her Majesty s gracious
speech, which was mont gracioudy received by her Majesty,
and to which she in pleased to return the following mint
gracious answer My torils,—l thank your lordships fur
your loyal and dutiful address. It will at all times be my
earnest desire to co-operate with you in measures calcu-
lated to promote the prosperity and happiness of my
people." The noble marquis concluded by moving that
the address and her Majesty's most gracious reply be en-
tered un the jmiroa!s of the i•OO.P.
THE KAFFIR WAR.
The Doke of WELLINti fON—My lords, I was unable
to &Idris. y eir lordships two nights ago, when you voted
the adders to her Mojesty, to which she has returned
the previous answer which we have just beard
read. The motion now before you is, that the
address be entered elo the journals of the bows;
and I wish to avail myself of this opportunity of ex-
pressing my tense of the services of lien. bir H. Smith ia
command of her Majokty'A troops at the Cape of Good Hope.
See IL Smith is an officer who, from his high reputation in
the service, ought nut to require any commendation from
me; but having till.,t a high command in several important
military operations lung before, carried on under his dime-
tios, and having now been revelled by her Majesty's
government, it is but justice to him to say that I, who am
his issinotanding officer, though at a per debase( estiraly
