bedelsamiber of the young lady, at the shove hotel—not
with any dishonourable view, we are mitisfird, but with an
belestion of repeating his vows of coustancy—all other
means of doing so having been denied by the lady's father.
Wholly unconscious of ay each cirestrastance, the young
lady eutered her bedchamber at the naval hour of repent-,
attended by her servant maul, who, while its the act of un-
dreesiug lecr MLices, perceived a bunt under the bed—.
npon which, with great presence of mind, she beckoned to
the lady to (ill the room, and followed as quickly herself.
They imuleothitely lucked Hp the intruder, and alarmed the
house; upon which the father and brother of the young lady
flew to her ni.irlauce--and upon the door being opened, a
violent scuffle ensued het owls the parties, in the course of
which shots were fired by the lover, wc. are happy to say

lst.Beeause, frosalhe rapidity with which this Rill has been
pressed forward through the Upper Howse of Parliament,
slime it has been taken under fire powerful patronage of the
Noble Viscoset, the two Reports of the Commissioner. of
-11111,ilry in Ireland, on which its eisactments avowedly rest as
dm* exclusive foundation, containing 447 closely-primed
pages of the most important matter, and which had been upon
the table of the other House since N0v.1619. not having breed
submitted to their Lordships till foe days before they were
called opon to adopt the principle of this measure, by giving
a second reeding to the Bill, though I had earnestly terlicit-
eil suchen irderval as would have enabled me to have perns-
eil these voluminous &eminent', upon which it is nun ne-
cessary fur Mr at wire to decide, a mode of ream/ming would
seem to have bee. aasctioned noi very respectful to the inile-
peudeuee of Ibis branch of toe Legislature, rig. that the
right to deliberate de umbels Errol was out within the pro-
vince of their Lordship.; but that this House nos ;dared
by the Constitution as a conuenieut stage fur the sole pur-
pose of speeding to the Throne, with its ready fiat, and
almo-t without the formality of any previous inquiry, the
reenlis uf the deliberations of the other Howse, wlsideu yr
abyss results might lappets to be.
Id. Becalm, deprived as I bare already shown the House
to have been. of buy aveilable considerature of the Reports
of the Commissioners of Inquiry, I have still further to com-
plain that several little lees important documents, viz. the
commuuicatleas between the lira r Judge* bud the Govern.
Inert of that couutry, upon the special subject of these Bills,
and which had been calkd fur by myself, have not been, to
this very moment, placed in their Lordeliips' baud*.

witbstan iug important alterations in the proceeding uf
the Courts of Common Law in Ireland, by the substitution
of et-stain eatalultalued salaries, in lieu of that principle uf
fees which had solicited ilwreiii from time immemorial, and
which is still to be retained in the practice of the Common
Lew Courti of this country; and bossism-1i as thin violent
departure frum loarg•eriablished usage, though adopted nut
without cyliteri by, and in • qualified way, by the I.isbCourts,
of Kitig's Rench•and Common Pleas, is de ideilly rejected
in an able alll4l argumentative datensent by the whole uf the
talented Court of Exchcquer its that couotiy.

particularly relates, being the truly professional Perm who
have expressed •Ity sentiment upon the subject, have avow-
eiliy shrews the whole freight of their high authorities against
the proposed intiuvation, in the substitution of salaries for
aacient and accustomed fees, by their unequivocal declara-
tion, that they would straw have thought of introducing such
a change isto the proceedings of the Courts of Justice heir.
Aud hecause it was my earliest cilicitation to dome Noble
Persona, to wbom I had the honour of ashler-ming myself,
that they would be pleased to continue to that part of Hie
United Kingdom which has sent me here, that invaluable
privilege—theaduniiistratioo of the English low sreurdiag to
the principles and the practice of jurisprudeoce in this wise
and enlightened rollllfry.
5 h. Because, if the substitstion of eslabliphed salaries in
lieu of fees had been taken up by the Cummirsioners of In-
quiry, as a bearficial •lierstion in the proceedings of the
Courts of Justice its Ireland, it ought surely to have been
riconmeendid by them as a gerterel principle, affecting
equally the practice its she Costs of Equity as in those of
coinnians law. Whereas there is now .puss the table of the
(louse, stud proceeding pari parrs with this measure, a Rill

principle of fees untouched in the Court of Chancery its that

the payment of sty new fee* from time to time, proibled he

11th. Recants, thorn/. perfectly satisfied of the exist...ate of
