OFFICE OF

BR (COURT OF CHANCERY)
BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
Mr. MULLINGS moved an amendment on clause 3.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL resisted the amendment,
on the ground that it would go in a great measure to nulli
the rest of the bill. He himself had some verbal amend-
mints to propose in the clause. Some members had sup-
yaed this bill specially referred to the gentleman who
had acted as examiner before the bill of last session paned;
but any one who read the bill must have seen that it was
confined to the examiners appointed subsequently to the
passing of that act.
Mr. G. M. BUTT said the act of last session limited the
pension of the examiner to 3001. a year, and only gave it
after 30 years' service. He objected to a gentleman being
entitled to claim a pension after 20 years' service, when is
the full vigour of his professional knowledge and skill.
Mr. BAGOE thought the hon. member for Salford ought
to adopt the same course with regard to the present govern-
ment which he adopted when his (Mr. Bagge's) party were
in power; namely, resist the proceeding with business after
twelve o'clock. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Bagge) now moved
that the chairman report
Mr. BROTHERTON siliACT:rad been in the hone for
12 hours, and the bon. gentleman bad only just come in.
(Laughter)
Mr. PATTEN asked if Mr. Bagge would persevere with
his amendment.

Mr. BADGE said he should.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he understood the hon. gentle-
man hail agreed to withdraw it. (Hear, hear.) His hon.
friend, the member for Salford, had endeavoured to stop
public business after twelve o'clock, but ho did not think
that he had been abte to succeed with either government.
(. Hear, hear," and laughter.)
The amendment was then withdrawn.
Mr. G. BUTT proposed u an amendment the substitu-
tion of " thirty " for "twenty," as the number of years'
service after which the retiring allowance should commence.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL defended tbo clause as,
it stood.
Mr. HENLEY supported the amendment.
The committee divided—

For the word` twenty," as in the clause 37
For the amendment 2O-17
Some other verbal amendments were made iu tyc clause,
and the house resumed, when the bill was rcporttd.
The house adjourned at half-paat one o'clock.
