might probably have to move that the bill be referred to e

After a few words from Mr. Dr!coax, leers wu given to
brim; ht the bill.

EXAMINERS IN CHANCERY.
The SOLICITOR.GENERAL rose to move for leave to
bring in a bill for the further regulation of the office of
Examiners of the Court of Chancery. The learned gen
tleman, who !woke rather indistinctly. was understood its
say that this measure was rendered necessary by nee
omissions in the larger measures of last session, but w••
not the only measure he sontrm•ilated, as he bad doter-
mined never to rest satisfied until he bad obtained that
great desideratum—such a consolidation of the Courts of
Chancery and Common Law, as should enable the same
court to distribute ample and oompletd justice to all par-
ties. It would be recollected that the bill of last session
substituted oral for written examination in the examiners'
office, and for that purpose appointed two judges examiners.
It was quite obvious that such • change in the system
e•llyd for different duties and other qualifications in the
Mate►, and therefore the then existing eiminuer obtained
permission to retire ; but in the section authorising the re-
tirement two circumstances were omitted to be provided

for. The oath was not altered to suit the reguireinentc of
the new officer, nor was there any specification of the
qualifications necessary for the office. The third omission
referred to salary and retiring pension, and the object of
the present bill was to remedy these deficiencies.
Leave given.
COAL DUTIES.

Sir J. SHELLEYm47d tura select committee to in-
quire into the operation of the laws under which dues or
taxes are lasted on the introduction of coals into the well o-
polls and the neighbourhood, the mode of collection, and

the exp• nditura of such dues or taxes.
Mr. HUME suggested some alteration, giving to the mo-
tion a more extended operation.
Mr. GLADSTONE objected to any alteration in a motion
to which the government had already agreed. It should be
considered that much of this money was raised to replace
money already paid, and the committee should not be in-
structed to interfere with the public faith.
Lord J. RUSSELL thought that as government bad con-
sented to the motion, it shou.d not be altered. On the part
of the City of London, he was enabled to say that every
facility would be given to inquiry.
Motion agreed to.
CRIMINAL AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN.

On the niniiost of Mr. %LINES, Sir J. Pakington was
added to the committee on this subject.
