he was anxious to bring the subject forward, his noble friend

The AT I ORNEY GENERAL then moved the second

is their report they declared that the appellate thrisdiction

Imp mean t f this metier there could be no doubt. The
House of Lord., as they all knew, exercised • joreedietiou ss
the o art of tippet of lest resort over all setts both at e
mow law and in equity, and by its decision the law was
dually decided. Now, It was perfectly n. torten that f r
some IlMe pest very great dissatisfaction had len felt bat,.
In suitors and by us public getnsily, with regard to the
inane in Wh eh that jartedictioe was cooked. The sp-
line', jurisdiction of the et per hone, although wenn by
tr• toasty of the coostitution in the whole house, was
prectica'ly exercised by those members oily who were

salon, with the occasional, bet very r.re, incep-
ton of home other members of the house who
Fad he'onped to the pioleselon of the law. A
body of judges so conpoled was oten to several
toe sentience'. First of all, in somber must &peed more
r less upon accident. fl,methese the number of ex-then-
cell re had hese very onsiderable, but sometimes It bad
been atop/natively small. In • loos admit, ins the
chancellorship might remain to the same heeds. whereas
in Vella mialst-reel nieces would have • tendency to it -
crease the number of those who had held the Great Seel.
Again, cessidenticres of age and natality would have •
great bootee upon the number of law lords able to stead;
sod lastly, there wee nothing to render it is cry degree
obligatory upon ex et aeration to attend on the hearing of

of law lords who sat in appeals bad for some time pest bees
below what weld be called satisfactory either to the suitors
' or the eouatry. (Hear.) It bad very i•ftee h tope n. d hat not
more than two, or even nee low lord had he-o present—and
that, too, when the con which came before the hoe.* had
had the opinion of two of the court, of cosmos law ear
denies perhaps the elevens of the third ; wens they lad

( El. ar, hen) In men where there were two judges le the
House of Lords, nothing had been mire frequent than that
they should hold a divided opinion, and in that pee so

be to cause • feeling of great dinvisfeetion. Ina nee men
toned to the evidence there had been coedit tang &cite 4 e
given by the Court of Exchequer and the linter of the

hear.) If it happened that the Lord Chancellor was rifting
alone, he might confirm by his own jeidemect a cle.eniee
which he had gives to the Court of Chancery in opp:oitioe
to that of ea interior oxen —a state of Mass which must
strthe every one se the reriteh of what was desirable in •
