HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tuuzsuar, Jun 26.

DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSIII3 BILL.
Oa the motion for midair Mai committee on this bill,
Lard LYNDHURST seid—l think it will be eonvealeat
if, before going into eommitteit, I stated the substance of this
bid as it has cline cloys to the hoses after the amend meats
011ie select eimmittee. Is the antemdminsts of that coin-
mitts', I think your lordships will oozes, with approbation.
The great object which we had is view, and which the
Ream of the bill had in view, was to establish a separate
tribusal for nodding epee isatrimoidal °sues. Whoa the
eoesittatios of that tribunal was considered ia committee,
we came to the seaalseloa that IS. somposidoe should
sot slot of live Lord . Chaeeeuor, the than shief jadges of
the superior emits of temmen law, and the Dees of the
Arthis. It wee also reselwid that the law of the Arabs
should sit aloes ia mutton of • limited altars. It was de-
cided that la miss of divot*, • siimea mostriatonk the
Whams' should emelt of the who:get:mirk that is to my, otos
missy of its 'members es sire sompetiant m form a quorom. It
was sine settled that the appeal* trona single judos should
be to the fall court, sad that the appeal from the whole
mitt, la cams of diverse • siosestio usaWmmtii
should be to the Hoses of Lords. This appeal
will oar 'stead to itanstioas of law, and will
therefor* be of rare mromnimee. I Mask that after

teusideriag the tribunal as Ant seastroatei your
shim will tbiak that this tritiuml will be more effective.
Such • tribunal will be diguilled la rash, full of talent, bat
not more 'manumit 'has • nun night to be for the purpose
of deciding questiase of math importance as those whisk
may eeme before it. So mach for the Unread, which I
think your lordshils will ermelder quit* aatielastery. I will
now, my lords, deal with the alteratloas in the law 'etre-
dead by this bilL As this law at present sonde, when a
wih is divoroed from her hothead, epos her ewe politicos,
in eowsegance of miemsdint on the husband's par, cruelty,
&dolor', or otnerwies, she Ii la this situation. Whatever
property she earns by her owe labour or skill, that property
I. the property of her husband. Not safrequestly pro-'
party le aequired Osumi of Wog applied to the sappoet of
the wife is devoted to the support of the mistress. It has
bees considered degrade to put en mid to this state of
things. Aeurningly the eammittre ban deeded unani-
mously that where a wife Is separated from her bathed' by
divert* • mews of there, through the almonds's& of the
hosbead, all property which the should afterwards son-
quire, either by her owe exerdoes or by devolution um
her in soy manner whatever, shall be held by her to bar
separate see, with fall power to &soon of it
by will or otherwise se the may With St. I tbink that
you lordships will dodder this a provision which judos
require*. (Hear. beer.) Another great hardship upon a
1,141■141 in the rain which I ban referred to, is this,
she nand meiotals say adios'. She may be subject to any
injury, pentad eking's, or wrongs of any description, but
she sea maintain so adios, end unless her buaband choirs*
she is without remedy. If she eaten tato any contract
she *sand atone lt. The sommittee have decided, that,
whenever • won's is se separated as I already
stated, from her husband, she shall, is reaped of
the right of eaftwireg her contract, be eousidered •
