TEDETERS AND EXECUTORS.

Mr. ROEBUCK .lada;tfoli7tor:43;;Z: whether it

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL —An opinion Its
been very gfor subetterally expunged that the act
but meg= jecting trusters to criminal reeponal-
bility ought to have been accompanied with some pro-
vision for relieving them from their civil liability, a
mime bad been introduced by Lord St. Leotards, end
pared by the Roam of Lords, for that purpose. Whin it
0113114 down to the Commons, however, many of its providona
were objected to, and It was ultimately referred to • select
committee. That ocamaittais on considering the subject,
found difficulties apringieg up at every step. On the one
hand there was the danger of holding out to trustees an ap- I
inarenoe of protection which would be alierallonlyillmory,and
on the other the danger of leading them to mopes that the
duty they undertook wee only nominal, and subleot to no real
nespeneibility. Under these eirmunsmuces the committee
had net felt it right to recommend the bill as it stood, and
owing to the lateness of the session, and the difficulty of
phis( a quorum, we. not likely that they would make
their eeport bello4 the prorogation. With regard to the
