the subject was derived (rim the fact, that owing to their
official positions they bad become fully sensible of the
enormous charges, amounting to 130,000 f. per annum, in-
dicted upon the consolidated fund for compensations to
men many of whom were in the prime of life, through
the combined exertions, on • former occasion, of the
Attorney-General and the honourable sod learned
member for Wallingford. It was in consequence
of being practically acquainted with that burden,
and of comparing the returns of the parties who were com-
pcmated under the former act to the income tax commis-
sioners, with the claims which they had sent in for oom-
pensatiou. that he had just recorded his vote with the
majority, sal he was prepared to repeat it, if the Attorney.
General resolved to again take the sense of the house.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had not meant to give
any offence, or to impute any censure to any member, but
be wished to correct an inaccuracy into which the hon.
gentleman who last spoke had fallen. In the former bill.
which had been adverted to, he (the Attorney-General)
struggled against the proposal for compensation, but he
had been overruled by the oppoid with whom the hon.
member for Durham himself voted. ( eer, item)
Mr. MOWBRAY begged to correct the boo. and learned
gentleman. He had not voted On any division upon the
subject. (Hear, hear.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was in consequence
of the course pursued by the opposition that the proposition
to,- composition was carried. But the hon. member for
Birmingham said the present bill would create compen-
sations. which the feeling of the country was against. how,
not a shilling of compensation was created by the bill.
Meer, hear.) He (the Attorney-General) should be most
unwilling to throw away the many months' labour which
be had devoted to the bill, but unless the recommendations
of the commission were adopted it would not be in
his power to give the Balton in the Bankruptcy
Court • remission of one farthing in the fees which now so
heavily burdened them. In the full confide ace that those

recoininendations would be adopted by the house ie-1071
based all the arrangements in the bill upon them, and un-
less his expectations were fulfilled the entire measure would
have to be reconsidered sad recast. He would give the
house another opportunity of expressing its opinion upon
the present issue, and for that purpose he would take •
division upon the question that the resolution, as amended,
should be agreed to. If that division were in aoorinhuire
with the vote at which they had just arrived the result
would be that the next order at the day (the Bankruptcy
and Insolvency Bill, which stood for committee) must he
postpoued ; and Le candidly, mournfully, and solemnly told
the house, that, not through spleen or vexation—(hear,
hurl—he should have to give up a measure which had mat
upon him unmitigated trouble. (Cheers.) In framing the
Lill he had had no other object than to meet the general
wish of the mercantile community, who be believed were
almost unanimous in it. favour. (Hear, bear.) That had
been his single object ; but if the arrangements were de-
fated lie the will of the house, he sew no other course
before him than to leave the subject to the consideration of
a future perhisment.
Mr. E. ELLICE, eon., thought the house was much in-
debted to the Attorney-General for the great pains he had
bestowed upon the hull ; but since he had had • seat in the
house he had been particularly watchful of the encroach-
ment, upon the consolidated fund, and following the pence.
dent he hal olopte.l with regard to the Ecclesiastical
Courts hill and other measures, he had just voted with the
majority, not from any ividi to deprive these persona from
compensation, but is order that the fond which hadalready
borne the charge might continue to do so. It would behind
if by perieveriug in theid vote they were to be charged with
being parties to the 100 of the bill. That was a situation in
which independent members ought not to be placed.
(Hear, hear.) It was • :natter of very little public import-
ance whether 20,000 f. a year should be paid bhe public
is fees or taken from the consolidated fund ; but he was
somewhat shocked by the position in which it was attempted
to place the house. Bemuse members voted independently
upon that minor question, the government were to merinos
• measure of the greatest and most serious public importance.
He should claim to exercise his own independent vote, and
would vote again as Le had done before, throwing upon the
government the whole responsibility of withdrawing a men-
, sure on ground. wholly untenable and unjustifiable.
liar H. WILLOUGHBY explained that the vote of the
house was simply • refusal to teenager these compensations
1 from the fee fool to the consolidated fund.
Mr. COLLINS reminded the house that when • clause
WY tarried in the case of the Probate Hill in favour of
county courts having jurisdiction to an unlimited amount,
•
• the Attorney-General said that, under the circumstances,
lie would nut proceed with the bill, and moved the adjourn-
I mod of the debate until the following day. The next day
be moved the rejection of the clause, but fortunately the
noble lord the member fur Tiverton 11111 in his place, and
the noble lonl said the hill was a very valuable one and as
the particular alteration did not affect its main objects, he
thought it would be better to assent to it rather than that
such is bill should he Met. Accordingly the bill paned with
the alteration ; said he (Mr. Collins) believed that the same
owns would be adopted on the present occasion.
(Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") He hoped the house would
nut rewind its vote.

Mr. HEADLAM bore his teetiniony to the statement of
the Attoroey-Geoeral, that the diminution of fees in the
Bankruptcy Court was an amential principle of the bill,
and that without it there would be no possibility of carry-
ing out an effectual reform in that court.
Mr. HENLEY protested against the allevition of the
hon. and learned iiieuiher forWallingfonl, that the majority
who had voted for the ier,lution did not know what they
were voting for.
Mr. MALINS matt he merely stated that the matter had
gone off in such a hurry that many members who came into
the house at the clime of the decossios dkl not actually
know what thee wore voting upon.
Mi. HENLEY resumed The hue. and learned member
followed op that statement with &charged injustice against
the majority, whereas tie question they voted upon wee
simply whether the compensation should onatinue to be pro-
vided from the earns source as before, or should be thrown
upon the consolidated fund. And to say that the ',abbe
should not derive the vast advantage which waa anticipated
from the proposed change in the law, in CORIINUODOO of the
decision at which the bowie had arrived on that simple
question, seemed to him almost incredible. (Hear.)
Mir GREY In,l no doubt the decision of the house had
planed the Attorney-General in • poetical of great difficulty
as to the course %lieu lie should take ; but it was desirable
that nothing should lie done hastily' and without considers.
tine. (Hear, hear.) An opportunity should be afforded to
the Attorney-Geueral to make some proposal to the house if
he felt el.le to do so. in order to remedy the serious imam.
nieoce to which the vote had given rise, and under all the
orcuniatance• lie thought the debate should be adjourned
for that purpose. (Hear, hear.) The right Lou. net
thin moved the aljournmeot of the debate.
Sir H. CAIRNS, in supporting the 'adjournment of the
debate, expressed a hope that the Attorney-( lenses! would
upon cessideistion not determine to abandon the bill. A
very great debt of gratitude was du• to him ea tlie part of
the house for the paint and trouble he had taken in pre-
paring the measure, and he (Sir H. Cairns) could hear per-
sonal testimony to the care and labour Ise had bestowed
epos it. (Hear. hear.) The Royal Commission which was
appointed many years ago reported in favour of a plea
similar to that now proposed by the Attoniey-Geese!, and
he Pier H. Cairns) considered it was only a matter of jos-
tles to the Naito:. in the Bankruptcy Court, and be was

He trusted his hon. mid learned friend would not abandon
