several acts of parliament have passed to give extended juris-
diction to and to extend the promise end procedure of the

ft is necessary end desirable should be extended
to the Sheriffs' Court of the City of London;
and they are also of opinion that several of the cower, con-
tained in the acts pawed to emend the law relating to divorce

Sheriffs' Court. That it is desirable to unite the Pooh*
end Oiltapur.street Compiles of the City of London in cue
uncut, end to coneolidate the same with the Sheriffs.' Court,
to increase the number of the judges of the Mayor's Court,
and to make the Mayor's Court a court of appeal from the

adore* to ecowdiagly ; end Mr. Rs-
toresbrigsoitairiferdtlemef year cemefetee, per- •

Mr. Hunsort, in moving that the court should agree
with the oommit✓ew In this report, said the bill had been Maly
prepared, although he could not, of course, go into its de-
tails on that ocessioe. fie might, however, say that tie
committee prgose4 to reduce the fees of the Sheriffs' Court
to the level dthose of the county courts, and although this
would incur an Immediate for of 4001. a year, it wawa pre-
sumed, from the satidactory way in which the business of
the Sheriffs' Coati we. increasing, that that loin would be
only temporary.
The report was agreed to nem. rots., and the court ad-
journed, after clearing off a mass of routine business prior to
