The Earl el ELLENBOROUGH had not read the 600
rig= of bill•42ook which formed the evideane jun sent out
to Inas, nor did he intend to do so. He had carefally con-
sidered the sole relating to the East India Company, and
belied come to the conclusion that the Legislative Council
could not be required to legislate on any subject, if they
thought fit to do so. He reminded their lordships that
some of the members of that council wore servants of the
East India Company. but he would remind the noble lord
(Clanricarde) that the government of India knew nothing of
say minister of the crown ; it knew n. thing of the Crown,
Lords, or Commons, unless they spoke through an act of
parliament. The government of India knew nothing but the
Baud of Directors of the East India Cowpony ,• the dinar
ware no doubt acted upon by the President in
the Board of Control ; but of that person or of
his doings the government of India knew ahem
lutely nothing. With regard to the proposition hinted at
by the noble duke at the end of his speech, viz., the pro-
Vdiaran to submit Eutopeans to the jurisdiction of the
Courts, he would urge the government to pause be-
hoe they entered upon such • course. (Hear) We were .

that he (Mr. Hommel) woe therefore emtedingly eurprised
at the attack which was suloequently made upon him in the
House of Lords. Now ho (the Earl of Wicklow) must de-
clare that the light hon. gentleman's eurprias was not granter
than hie own. (Hear.) It was utterly incomprehensible to
him how lifter the understanding which maned to have
taken place in the other house, between those who repre-
sented the commiasioners and the right hon. gentleman, he
(the Earl of Wicklow) could ham been called upon to renew
the subject there. ((icar, hear.) Had he been aware of the
compromise which was come to,nothing could have induced
him to pursue such a course. Nothing in his political life

he did not wish to convincehim. He had an-
nounced that it wee hie intention to divide the
boar an the third reading, and, wishing that the bill might
p both so as to meet with general approbation in Ireland,
be was glad that the division would be taken under eircuno
steams which would be favourable to that result.
Viscount DUNGANNON said, viewing the bill as one of
spoliation against the Irish church, he should vote for the
amendment.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH hoped the noble curl
(Clancarty) would withdraw his amendment, as his object
would be equally obtained by a protest.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE VICTORIA CROSS.
Sir C. NAPIER hoped the house would not think him
faMidious in making some remarks on the review which had
taken place that teeming. (Laughter.) The army and the
artillery were represented by batteries of 32-pounders—the
cavalry were niagnitirently represented—and so were the
guards the line, and the marines. But the nave of the
greateM maritime power in the world wee represented by the
First Lord id the Adinindty and about fifty sailors. Ile did
not think the navy had been treated properly, and he nuke
mere in sorrow than in anger when he expreerad a hope that
if over such an occurrence should take place again the
Admiralty would bring up as many men as they could; and
he could net help saying that the navy must be in a bad

INDIA.
Sir E. PERRY said he wished to draw attention to a
coulee of conduct which the governmoent was pureeing,
and which he thought would be detrimental to good ride in
India. It would be in the recollection of roomy members
that twenty-five years ago, with a view to reform the ad-
ministration of justice in India, on the recommendation if
Mr. Macaulay n rommission was impointed. That retemiesion
cast the state 800,00 M., and the remit of their Inborn for
twenty years was absolutely nothing. They out Immo a
%alembic, series of reports to the Board of Dirceor., but on
the greater pert of the recommendations no final decision
had been made. That being so. Sir C. Wood, the then_pre-
cadent of the Boma of Control, with the authority of the
crown, named a commission in this country,eonsinting of most
eminent men, and they made a report which had received the
apperbatiun of the most eminent Jurists in this country.
Legislation, therefore, watt expected in this country ; but to
the groat surprlee of them who had taken an intereet in the
matter, • paper was circulated showing that the Board of
Director. had transmitted the report to Indic fur the tarpon°
of obtaining the opinion of the government there. That we.
exactly what they had been doing for 20 years before. But
it appeared that instead of its being submitted to the local
governments in India, the legifflative council of India had
undertaken to legielete on the natter; and they were peening
an net which would produce unmitigated evil._ They were
going to put British settlers in the interior under the Com-
pany'e courts. lle wished to know what enure had been
taken here to stop such legiidation ? It wan necomary to point
oat them matters to the house, because, since the creation of
Me krOlatics council, that body had been claiming slew&
Alemrailled legifdation. He wee given to understated, dm, that
Mme Moe government had from time to time intimated their

OM course the government intended to adopt? He hoped
president of the Board of Control would state his own
Awe on this important question, which bed now been
for Li years. In conclbsion, he beggol to refer to
notice of the question he had placed on the paper—to ask
the President of the Board of Control, whether. on tho
reference to India of the judicial reforms mewed hy her
MeMety'e conneissionere, it was competent to the lemalativo
council in India to reject those reforms altogether, even
though the home government approved of them; and,
whether it was true that the legislative council, cominting of
nine company's servants and two Queen's judges, claimed to
act noun independent legirlatUrc?
Mr. V SMITH said it was perfectly true that there hail

been en expensive commission in India which grassed re-
ports that were not acted upon. It was perfectly true aloe
the Vint Lord of the Admiralty, then President of the Baud
of Control, mid his opinion was ageing the arnalgatimtkm of
the cootie, but finding it impuesibledie appointed anotharcent-
mbielon in this country in order to consider this question • that
commission eat for three yeers,and then made a repeet.
that report was subiniced to him he coneidersd that the
beet course was to send it out to India for their legislative
council to legislate upon it, and in so doing he had never per-
formed impact of the wisdom of which be was more convinced.
Tr. Legislative Council was eetabliehect after much delibera-
lien in 1553, and it was en attempt to provide something
like a representative authority in India. To give goneral
representation in India, of courts woe utterly out of the
queetion, mid no one had been mind enough to propose it ; but
the appoiutment of the legislative council wee an attempt
to do something in that direction, end iu that lewisletive coon-
chi were included repreeentetivee from the two other maiden-
ciee. He had entrweed the matter to the leOslative council of
Indio, thinking that they were much niore capable of legis-
lating for India then the parliament of this country, with a
email attendance, which, ho wee enrry to say, they slews
bad when Indian stfairs were discussed. Me hon. Mend
•eked whet wasthe authority of the legielativecouncil to reject
este. Why of course they bad, so every deliberative assembly
had, the power to modify or reject the measures brought be-
fore them. The hon. gentleman asked him what opinion be
bed on this question ? lie should not tell him till he beard
what had passed in the legislative council, but he would tell
him thie, that if the legielativo council canoed sets which, in
his opinion, were prejudicial to the government over which
be wee celled on to preside, ho should annul those &rte. If
he could not get the legiolelive council to pass the
arta which had been submitted to them, he should
then ask this parliament to legielons, but not till
he bad exhausted other means. lie believed that the legis-
lative council, though perhaps not very quickly, would
legislate on the eubjeet, and that the acts they passed would
be agreeable to all concerned ; and if they did so, their acts
would become law.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY appealed to the noble lord at the
head of the government to give a day 012 which they could
take oho adjourned debate on the motion of the hon. member
for Stockport, which stood for 'Tuesday next, but could not
come on on that day. The real question wee, whether
lodia were well or ill governed ?
Lord A. V. TEMPEST joined in this appeal, saying that
practically the adjounuuent to Tuesday next was an adjourn-
ment sine die.
Sir G. GREY said government did not undervalue the im.
Laryt.anee of the subject, but it was difficult for them to Et a

THE ORDNANCE SURVEY.
Mr. LIDDELL said he understood there had been a slight
error in what was stated by the Secretory to the Treasury
the other day, in answer to • question as to the ordnance
survey. Ito would repeat the question, and state (meetly the
information he wished to obtain. The bowie was aware that
the county of Durham had already been surveyed on the 2.i
inch seals ; but in consequence of the veto come to by the
house the other night, the governnient had determined that
no publication should be mode of that survey. What ho
wished to sok was, whether the proprietors in Durham, at
their own expense, might obtain nape of their estates from
that survey ? He wished to put a further question regarding
Northumberland, whether there was any objection to grant-
ing • return of the names of the perishes and Oars in
Northumberland and Durham, of which the survey hod
been made, on the 25. inch =de, dietiniruishing those which
had been already published from those which were =
published ?
Mr. WILSON said there could be no objection to the re-
turn, nor to the proprietors of lend obtaining copies of the
survey at their own expense.
PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION

BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in moving the second
reading of this bill, said he thought it would be altogether
superfluous to dilate on the evils end grierancee attendant on
the continuance of the present engem of obtaining probate of
wills and lettere of administration. Tlwy had boon eel long
admitted, had been the subject of the reporl• deo many com-
mitters of that and the other house of pleilonsfills the re.
moval of thorn had been the recommendaleass of so many
canonise/us, that he might well Resume it =a a matter on
which there could be no difference of opinion. Infect, lig:nearly
30yeare, different governmentshad attempted to accemplish this
alteration, and unquestionably these courts would have long
since succumbed to the attack. made upon them if their
assailant. had been as determined as to what should he
erected se they were =anemone in their desire to put down.
However, he should take the liberty of calling the attention
of the house for a Ise minutes to the present state of the
law, in order thellbe house might judge how far the provi-
alma which be was about to Matte in detail would meet the
orimillas a the rim. The hnuoe ass aware that interior
to Asir hall/ to the year 1107, the now Statute of
TEO, • wardrarzak difference existed between wills of per-
meated eliele and wills of landed property. A will eif personal

ai▪ l
The set of 11137 took away that distinction, and re-
that all wille, whether they related to pereenal estate,
or exclusively to real ogee, &bald be executed and steeled
is the same manner, and with the same solemnity. It might
naturally have bun expected that the ereksiestical COW*
the jurisdiction of which the home was aware ass confined
entirely to wiles of personal estate, would have been abolished,
end the instrument the effect and character of which was to
be determined by one fixed law, should have been made sub-
ject to the view and impress, as to its authenticity, at the
oniinery tribunals of the country. That being the state of
the hive, the anomalies that existed became more gluing and
more mischievous, namely, that whilst they hod one single
tone in which the will must be •flirmed, there
were nevertheless two tribune]s to which it must be
submitted, first with regard to ill validity so far as related to
personal Mate, to the erelesiergical court, and then to the
ordinary tribunals of the (wintry so fer am it related to reel
estate. If them were both real and personal estate, end there
were any content relative to the malty of the testator or to the
execution of the instrument, that subject could not be deter-
mined by one eingle tribunal once for all, but the parties were
compelled to take the matter to two different courts having
different form. of procedure, and which might arrive at dif-
ferent and I prole. concludons. And this was not a mere
hypothetical case, became such caste did occur. Only
in the hat year they had witnessed one of the
moot glaring example" of this. A testator in Ire-
land was pronounced by the eve leoioetiC*l courts of that
country sane as to his personal estates, but in the courts of
conga= law, in reference to the real estate, he WAS pro-
nounced insane. And twin, in England, he wee found to
be saner to his reel estate, but there had been no probate
es
to his personal estate in England. This occurred perpe-
tually in the present elate of the law. But there might be
the Name contest between the ordinary tribunals, an a man
might be found by a Surrey jury to have been sane when
he made a disposition of his estate in Surrey, while • Mid-
dlesex jury might find him insane. The fleet
einclueion, therefore, which this stale of the law seemed to
indicate wee the appointment of • tribunal completely to
decide once for all on the validity of a will, whether of real
or personal estate, or both. The mat circumstance that
exerted in the date of the law wax, that in the ecelesiaetical
courts the mode of arriving at a conclusion wit different
from that of the ordinary tribunal.. He believed all who
hail attended to the subject would agree with hint that
matters rotative to the state of mind of the testator could
not be tried in a satisfactory meaner except before a jury,
because there was no other mode by which the evidence
could be en well tested. Bet the proceedings of the Ecele-
sissified Court were formed on the model of the civil law,
and the conclusion wee arrived at quite in a different way
from that in which it was arrived at in the common law
tribunals. The next requisite was that the court should
have one uniform mode or procedure, secertaining and taking
disputed facts through the medians of a jury. Uniformity,
simplicity, and economy were the principal requisite*
which lie thought should be =laddered in any change ;
and he would now at once proceed to state
what were the alterations made by the present bill.
The bill proposed to abolish at once all the existing eeele-
dastkal and peculinr courts in which wille might now be
peeved. Thew courts were about 400 in number, and they
met us at every corner. They were, in factors many pit-
falls in which the unwary suitor might he entrepped ; and
they were of no manner of use whatever except to ineresac
that " admired confueion" which had so often prevailed in
our system in consequence of the extreme tenacity with
which wo clung to old institutions long after they had awed
to be of the slightest practical benefit. It wee proposed to
estriblish one 'lug!e court of probate in the room o all the
existing courts. Even for the ordinary proms of proving,
or as he preferred to teem it, of authenticating a
will, • court would he necessary in consequence
of the minute technical forme which the Sta-
tute of Wills required to be observed. The court of
Probate. therefore. would be a court to which wills noieht
be brought cell if they belonged to what was called the
commie eine burins, for the purpose of being authenti-
cated ; but the mode of procedure would be very much
more pimple, and he Glutted much more economical than
that which at present existed. Of course the locality of
the new court would be in the metropolis; but fur the eon-
venience of the country at large district courts would be
funned and local registries established to which wills might
be taken whenever a person whew ordinary place of resi-
dence was within one of thew districts died leaving a per-
sonalty not exceeding 1,4001. It would not, how-
ever, be prudent to extend that privilege to caws
where the property exceeded 1,5001. Suppers, for =stance,
a will was admitted to probate which did not comply with
all the formalities enjoined by the Will. Act, the executors
might go to the Bank of England, or to soy public com-
pany in which the deceased happened to have stock standing
in hie name, and get that clock transferred to hiineelf. lie
might. in tact, convert it to his own use, and yet if it
should turn out that the probate hod been improperly
granted, another individual might go to the Bank or to the
public company and compel it to make good the property.
It wan therefore desirable to restrict the jurisdiction of the
heal registrare to 1.5001., and insist on all the more impor-
tant ewe. being token up to London, where, of course,
greater care and accuracy could be ensured. Where, however,
the property wee under the specified amount, the leerier
would have the option of going either to the metropolitan or
to the local court. (Hear, hear.) There was another way
of proving will., which was not en steeple AS this, and which
wee called the proof "in solemn form." Ito object woe this :
There might not be at the moment any particular contest
about the validity of • will, but the parties interested in it
might be deeirous of having placed on record the evidence
both of its due execution and of the verity of the tweeter.
The bill provided a mode in which a will might be proved in
a manner that would be conclusive, both as regarded real and
