IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOU/ Oir LORDS.--Idomuy, ?Liam 5.

Lord GRANVILLE announced that he should propose
ea Thursday that the standing orders be suspended, to
order that the Cattle Elope Bill night pan through all
Its repealer* stages ea ties day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the wooed
reading of the Law of Evidence Act Amendment Bill, the
main purpose of which be described to be to enable a
husband or wife—parties to a suit in the Divorce Court—
to give evidence where abiltury is alleged. As the object
of all legal inquiries is the ariertaismeut of truth, the
inneadroeut in the law whit* he proposed could nos be to.
misted on the ground of justice.
Lord CHRLYSIORD objected to the proposed altera-
tion as one that would inevitably lead to perjury, for
although the bill was only permissive, yet, it parties
abstained from giving evidence, the infereoce would
always be against them, and thus a temptation to fel*
swearing would be held out. He therefore moved that the
seeood reading be deferred for six months.
Lord TAUNTON also objected to the bill on simile/
grounds. •
Upon • division the numbers wore found to be equal, and
the LORD CHANCELLOR, following the usual practice,
was compelled to declare his own motion to be negatived.
Upon the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
Divunr and Matrimonial Causes Bill was read a 'wood
time.
Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 7 o'clock.
