MAOSTERS JURISDICTION IN EQUITY—REMO VAL
F OBST RUCTIONS IN CORN TRADE (SCOT-
LAND) BILLS.
These bil s were reed a third time, and passed.
COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT, in moving the second reading at this
bil, said the bill estahlishiog the county courts
the 9th and 10th Victoria —at present in
cperation since April, 184 i, had been *emi-
nently sucesenful in two ways, not only by the number
of debts that had been recovered ruder its provisions, but
else in c,nsrquence of the existence and threatened inter-
vention of the courts, which was of great importance.
(Hear, hear.) Nthough limited in jurisdiction to yet
the retina from Mara, 1847, to December of the sew
year. showed that the number of summonses ensred were
429,216, of which there were tried 267.445; is 1648, the
number of summonses entered was 427,611, whilst the num. j
ber tried was 239,118; and he might say be believed that in
1847 and 1845 no less • sum than 2,700,0001. had been re-
covered through the agency of these courts, which was cer-
tainly a very large amount, cemaideriog their source tote one
desalt debts. (He.r, best.) Their lirdsbipe might judge
of the gnat benefit atladed creditors when he informed them
that the number of summonses issued wee in the proportion
of four to one of she superior courts ; so great and beoeficial
wee the operation of the act. (Hurl However, in conse-
quence of the jurisdiction being limited to 201., many debts
of 401. and 501. had to be reduced to 201. by the erediton
in order to brims them under the jurisdiction of the sort ;
therefore, is order to put an end to such fraudulent prac-
tices, he th,ueht it would be wise to sanction the extwisicia
of jurisdiction. There was one other reason amongst many
why creditors and parties in general preferred going into the
county extension courts to the superior courts—namely, that
the partite themselves were allowed to give evidence, which
minim, he found from various sources of authority, to have
a moat beneficial effect. (Hear, hear.)
Lad BROUGHAM said the bill was one of great import-
ance, and likely to work greet alterations is the judicial
system of the country. It was certainly an experiment ; and
as such he should declare that he would not then oppose the
second readier of the measure, as ht WAS undoubtedly open
to conviction on the matter.
Lord CAMPBELL apprehendid assay evils from extend
ing the jurisdiction of the County Courts over actions in-
volving questions of tort, and wished that more time bad
been allowed for its coneideration, as well as to ascertain the
results of working the present courts. As the general feel-
ing of the country was, however, in favour of extension, he
contended himself with this warning of possible mischief.
After a few weeds from Lord BEAL:MONT, the bill was
read • emend time.
