_ THE APPELLATE JURISDICTION BILL.
. .

Oa the motioa that the house at its risieg do adjourn to
Moeda,.
Id,. R. CURRIE was whose to speak to this
question, for the panne of patting a question to
the Debi, lord, of which he had given ham node*,
upon a salient that required some eaplustion. He wished
to °Waits from the noble I ird a decided sad esplicit answer
as to the curse the goverameat ioteaded to pursue with
regard to the Appellate Jurisdiction B. 11—• bill he need
scarcely say as import ant as almost any measure dealing with
demotic legislation that could occupy the attention of the
how. That bill pr pseed to interfere with the high court
of appeal, sad to clangs the constitatiou and organisation
of that cleft, and it dealt also—by united° sertainly—but
at the same time mat effectually with the prerogative of
the mows, which wu distinctly limited by this bill. (Hear.)
Now is a friend of the goeer.utnt, and the of the,r sin-
cere supporter*, he wished to lab rs the noble tort what
was said very genstelly about this measure. He knew not
ea what aothnity, bat ft was nevertheless the fact that the
public and miry members of that holm had bees hod to

a compromise so it was to be carried by mane of a nation.
(Cheers.) It was genera'ly rumoured—he was now
spooking` of what was talked of in the lobbies
of Puliament—that the noble earl who conducted the
opposition in another place had celled his follower* together
and energetically in pressed epos them the utensil, of re-

sweaty yeas* in that house, he felt beuad to say that he

before the house he should certainly vote for the second
reading, for he thought it absolutely necessary that
the hoes. should take into consider/tan the con-
dition of the appellate jurisdiction of the /loose of Lords ;
sad that if they alSrmed the principle of tt e proposed
things, afterwards an opportunity should be afforded
of eensidering the details. But it was sot with a (meets to
either the principle or the details that he ventured now to
address the house, bet in ref to the extreordioary
statement of the hoe. member (Mr. R. Corsi. ). The noble
lord had told them that the hill was the result of • oompro-
RM, a compromise in the spirit of the constitution. To
that abstract declaration be was not disposed to demur, bet
in practice they could not be influenced by tb. • • dogmas of
passel application. In perlimentory practice they must
bold those responsible for the measure who intro.
dared it. (Hear, hear.) He understood this to be
the measure of the government. (Hear, hear.) It
IMO introduced Into the House of Lord. by the highest
authority on ouch subjects, and by a member of the Cattiest,
and when they were called upon to consider it in the House
if Commons they bad • tight to retried it as • measure of
the government, and as sigh oily. He did not, therefore,
understand the noble lord when he spoke of this measure se
a compromise, and a theepeousise in the spirit of the consti-
tution. (Hear.) He held they had a right to moron that
the government had adopted that measure which, upon the
whole, they thought most adapted to the public interests.
They were to seaside* the measure as a government mea-
sure, and such an one es the government thought bet for
the public interest, and in that spirit be was moored to
diesels it. He should be sorry if the bill did not maim
ample diseassith in that house ; he sh uld he sorry if it were
to he aisuggled—or to ass the expression of the hon. gentle-
man, " rammed"—through the boon. But la him all the
his. gentlemen, who was sensitive with regard to the ja fed
*sedition of Independent members triendly to the govern-
gaset—(iingher)—list for any evil f the kind he had sug-
there was very easy remedy ; aid he could enure
that the mostitutional privileges of the t ouse were nave*
bettor guarded than when Ludt pendent members re-
✓ised in their plates; and he did not see that the
bantam of the teed= had pressed so very heavily
on ladependett members favourable to the government—
("hom, hear," and laughter)—that so much consideration'
should be dentsiedsd for their jaded carves, and oh iteolT

traaster the appellate jurisdiction in ell alas milting to

Privy Comoil, which had worked most satisfactorily to the
Rouse of Lords. He d last night to remind the
house with reelect to that transfer as to what was the cm-
dittos of the impetigo jurisdiction of the House of Lords
et
the present moment. The house had betors them a hill
which distinctly admitted that their appellate jurisdiction
was, in the opinion of the Ruses of lerds, in a most ones-
tisfactory state, and no longer tenable; and the House of
beide appealed to that boom to assist them in rectifying
the defects and making it an eft cies tribunal.
The Louse would not, therefore, deal with the Ti,.

poet of members to seek scenes more agreeable than were
held out to them by the prospect of a session going into
September. His noble friend at the hoed of the gnvernmeet
Mot probably, like himself (Sir'. Graham), no *over took

!assiduity, and the regularity and constancy of he attend-
' amp, had been displayed to an extent that 1 e (Sir J.
Grams) never remembered to have witnessed. (f Hear,
hear." and cheers.) And his noble frigid was peculiarly
entitled to call oa members of that home to remain and to
do their duty as members of the house. But there were
limits even to this, and he hoped that the bill oa the
appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords would not
he any longer postponed.
CHURCH RATES BILL.
Sir W. CLAY rose to levant of the First Lord of the
Treasury, whether it was the intention of the goverament to
afford facilities fir Frees/dim with the furher stages of the
Church Estee Abo,itton Bill? Hs said that when Sir G.
Grey, in he speech on the Chards Rates Abolition Btll, ex-
plained the grounds on which the government de-
Med to support the bill, he stated wrat in h e
eviction were the alterations which ought to be
made in the bill, and added that the support of ti • govern.
math would be conditional on these amendments being made.
The amendments proposed by the govereseet were laid oe
the table before the Easter recess, and shortly after that re.
ems, he (Sir W. Clay) bad stated to the government that
these amendments would be accepted as part of the mea
tan. Therefore, he thought, end he believed that the house
thought, and he was sure that the oouetsy thought, that the
government bad adopted the bill; god that having failed
themselves to befog in a bill to which they had been pledged,
they sow considered that their seppat of his bill woo a
redemption of their pledge, mid was the best method of
baling with the question, the settles:. no of which had
theme an urgent amenity. He did suppose That the go-
verament would have thought it their duty to afford oppor-
timities for bagging this measure 011, Sa4 the more so ha
mai the amendeneate of the government bad lotroduced
mew elenseeta into the bill, witch added to the difficulty of
earryieg it through the tom, a task which no prioooolool-
- could ha.. uudettsksn without the support of the to-
thearnest. His expectation' had, towever, teen diem-
✓otated. It wean°, between two and three months Moe
the support of the goverment to tee bill and the acceptance
of their amendments had been known to the house and the
mintry. He was bound to say that his noble fr end at the
heed of the ooverinnest, in reply to his application., had
ahem every kind intention of giving him a dey for bring-
ing In his bill ; but afar two or these months had elspad,
th it e intentions had produced no fruit, end he bad time
usable to obtain the premise of • day. It was now the be-
&silts of July, and in • short time it would be to p 'nib's
that soy measures could be properly discussed is that boom
Redid not mesa to davits to his noble friend what course
be was te pantie, but the house wea entitled to knew what
mane he tweet totake. If tbs noble lord would my that
this was a government measure, and as sego would find •
