Bir P. THBBIGER was sorry to have heard the boa, and
learned member fur Plymouth join in that clamour against
the teclesiastical courts, of which they were entirely as-
deserving. He orimitted that there were oertsia pot-

TM ealy alternative was the Court of Chancery; and
%bough there had been great delays in that mart, much had
Mali, been done to remedy this evil, and curets were now
dispmed of with a celerity which astonietted the oldest
preedtionsirs in the mart. (Hear, hear.) As to the obis°.
ties @Against doing away with the proctors and advocates,
he denied that there would be any great danger of fraud.

quent sheave of proctors in that business; but whatever
might be the merits er demerits of Mr Barber, it was
metals that the change of proctors was lolly &wasted for

so long as there seined a class of causes requiring peenliar

always be foaled ready to caldera each ceases. He thought
that all the objections to the bill were founded on misappre.

itself to Ida as one step towards that consolidation of our
