SCO ['Cif JUDICATURE.
The Order of the Day, for going into a Com-
mittee upon the Scotch Judicature bill, being
Lead,

Dukz of DSO` PROSE, after some preli-
minary observations, said, that the Bill in questica
went most materially to alter and change the Ju-
dicature of that part of the United liiuguena; and . -
he rerun, beltffe ttlb House went into a ...:,simittee
upon this Bill, declare his most ardent and de-
cided opposition to the measure. The two great
°bleats this Bill was proposed to ailed, were, pre.
venting such a number of Appeals to that House,
and to relieve the Court of Session from a great
weight of business, by dividing it into more Courts,
and by introducing the Trial by Jury in Civil.
Cases. A Noble Lord (Eldon). who had for years
been a Counsel at the liar of that House, and had -
concluded many Appeal Causes, before la; sat is
Judgment upon them, thought the I:ouse should
not confine itself to granting only 20u1. costs. but
that it would be much bettor to grant full remune-
ration, in damages, to the party who tad suffered.
This would, in a great degree, remove that evil ;
and the difference of opinion seemed to be, whether
it should be done by small degrees, or by a positive
enactment ? The neat °Ned was to relieve the
Court of Sessions, by appoint.ng a Court of Re-
view ; but this latter Court was again narrowed,
and would be no inure able to do the business. than

the Court of SLssion ; and the consequence would
be, that the Court of Review would find itselt
bankrupt as to basines4. The next objeetion was.
that this measure was direCtly contrary to the tar -
devstanding between the two nations, and contra; y
to the letter of the AEt of Union. The appoint.
ment of two extra Lords, was a sort of juristlidion
they could not agree ti ; the Chief Ju.tice might
be an English Lawyer, and the decrees of the one
Court would b.. reversed perhaps fr:quently in the
other; so that this measure could not prevent Ap-
peals to their Lordships Bar ; and they would fled
it necessary. at last, to restore to the Court of See.
&ion its original powers. But if the parties were
compelled to lodge the money in Court until the
cause should be thally decided, he thought it
would check all unnecessary Appeals. liis Lord.
ship's next objealon was to the Trial by Jury in
Civil Cases. which he considered so general and
capacious a measure, that there was scarcely any
case which might not be brought before that Cosrt
by an ingenious pratitioner. lie objentoll to tins
general manner of proceeding ; but thought the
best mode to snake a trait trial of it would to in.
traduce it first into the capital. Edinburgh, until
they should be able to comprehend the duty. they
had to fulfil. This measure was not called for by
any circumstances with which he was acquainted ;
no Petitions upon the subj..% had been ptesenuld
from any persons of landed property, rnanufac..
turers, or any other description of persons who
might be interested as it. He further objeeted to
this measure, as being of an additional expecte to
the nation at large, and giving a considerable it-
crease of patronage v. the Government; not tray. a
meant by any means to say, that this w4s the
objzet of the Noble Lord at the brad of t!.•
Government (Grenville), in introducing this Phi.
it was also an insult to the feelings, and degrading
to the station of the Judges presiding at the head of
the Supreme Court of Scotch Judizature. The
people of Scotland were very tenacious of the obli-
gation of an oath, and ir. many cases they might be
either starved or perjured. The Trial by Jsry may
di very well for Luglasid (Hoar ! 4(6,1 frnlis She
Tree:airy Read) ; but it will riot answer when 111
men cannot agrees end the iattodueLoo of it woutii
