COURTS OF LAW (IRELAND) REGULATION OF
FEES BILL.

The Ertl of Dottotiotimotte said, in rising to
bring their Lordships' attention to the practice of
the Courts of Law in Ireland, he was aware he had
a vast deal to apologise for, but his excuse was an
honest one. If he did not interfere, no other Noble
Lord would, and the Bill, as it stood, would have
passed into the world as the law of the lend. It
came into their Lordships' House on the first of the
month, as the child of no one, but alter it hid laid
on their Lordships' table 21 days, it was adopted
by the Noble Secretary fur the Home Department.
It was a Bill for the purpose of regulating
the fees of the Courts of King's Bench, Corn-
mosi Pleas, and the Pleas side of the Court of
Exchequer in Ireland ; it went to snake a anh■tan-
tial alteration in the practice of the law in Ireland,
without there being a single document before
their Lordships to support the necessity of the
alteration. It appeared that the Bill had been
brought into the other House of Parliament on the
Report of certain Commissioners, but which Report
was not before their Lordships, and in the other
House of Parliament there had not been a public
discussion on it; he would not say that it might not
have been discussed in a Committee of that House.
He had presented 'a Petitioa front the Attorneys of
Ireland against the Bill, and on that occasion lie
done all he could do, which was to request that she
progress of the Bill might be obeyed until a Noble
and Learned Lord (Rertrsilale) returned from the
country, who, from having filled the office of
Lord Chancellor of Ireland, must have been in-
formed on the subject. But the Noble sod
Learned Lord after he slid arrive in towns declined
interfering, ■nd the Bill being adopted by the
Noble Secretary for the Home Department, hr con-
sidered it his duty to took into the Bill, and having
done so, he found meaty parts of it to be highly

stage of the Bill to the time it was brought up $O.

Clamed, who 'slim fithill oo ale. in the

%freehold in the nillee,and his Petition preyed. that
lie might be heard l Counsel at their Lordships'
big against the Bill, and in his opinion the forayer
of the Petition ought to be granted. There could
he no doubt but the Commissioners who hail merle
the Report were respectable men. but they mistook
their duty ; they were only sent to Ireland for the
purpose of making an inquiry, not to alter the laws
of the country. He was convinced that the Bill
had never received proper attention in the ether
House of Parliament ; it had been there made a
Court measure, and one of the Law Officers of the
Crown ought to have brought the attention or the
other House to it. He was also of opinion that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to have
taken it up, for he would prove it was a measure
of supply. The Reports of the Commissioners were
laid on the table of the other House of Parliament,
end had beet, pot into the hands of its Mein,
ben, hot that information their Lordships did
not wish to have, although it contained 946
closely printed pager. It was title they had
been moved for, but what was presented to
their Lordship's were the copies ordered to he print-
ed by the House of Commons. How far this was
decorous he would not undertake to say, he would
leave that for the Noble Secretary for the Home
Department, who ought to know, from the high
situatious he had held, the orders and regulat.
of both Houses of Parliament much better than
most of their Lordships. It was not his wish to
plain of the breach of the order of their Lord-
' '. House. He would suppose the Wow House
;figment thought they were obliged to follow
ow
the Report of the Commissioners, and confirm it
by a legislative measure, whether it was right or
wrong, whether they gave to one person more than
he was emitted to in the way of remuneration, and
to mother less. He would much sooner take she
opinions of the learned Judges on the practice of
their Courts than he would that of the Commis.
'goners. He would therefore move that the opinion
of the Judges oo the Report of the Commissioners
should be laid on their Lordships' table. He did
not see the necessity for precipitating the Bill
through the Howe ; it must certainly be one of a
singular nature which did not call fur any ‘ informa-
tion on the subject, although it went to take away
the fees of the officers of the Law CoUltibLiegethetia
and to remunerate them by salaries ; if the asessima
war necessary, why was it nut extended to the
Courts of Equity in Ireland ? It could not he be..
cause the Law Judges were not represented in
that House ; the Judges of the Court. of /Amity
were, for they bud the Noble and Leans's/ Lord on
the Woolsack, and another Noble and Learned
Lord, who had fidled the situation of Lad Chan-
cellor of Ireland with so much credit to him-
self, but the Noble and Learned Lords appear-
ed to have no feeling only as it related to Courts of
Equity. He objected to the Bill as it went to vest
power in the hands of the Lord Chancellor sod the
Master of the Rolls in belated for the lime being,
to regulate the fees of Courts of Law, which, in his
opinion, was a power that ought only to be vested
in Parliament. He was not an adrocete for the eN.
tortion of fees, but he objected to doing away with
the old fees which were granted for the encourage.
meut of officers to do their duty. If any fees load
been received by the officers a hich would come
under the denomination of extortion, and they re-
ceived the sanction of a Judge, that Judge could
be visited with punishment fur sanctioning the pay-
meta of such ices that were called extortiosialile.
If he were to be told that he was au encourager of
extoitansable tees, he would call on the Noble
Secretary for the Home Department to account
why he had allowed those persons so long to re-
main in office who had been guilty of extortion,
for they must have been for s length of time in the
habit of committing the offence, otherwise the
alteration would not be necessary. As to the com-
pensation to be entitle to the great officers of the
Courts iu lieu of fees, he thought they ought to
here some estimate before them, and that it ought
not to be left to the breasts of the Commissioners to
decide what they ought to receive; he would there.
fore move, that such all estimate should be laid be.
fore Parliament. According to the Bill, the
salaries only to officers doing duty would amount
to fifteen thousand and sixteen pounds per annum ;
and those who did no duty, and were to be pen.
sioned off, would receive double the amount, which
would cause an increased expense of 4.5,000/. a
year. He would ask, why the proper officer in Ire•
land had not made • return from the Stamp-office ?
If lie had, the subject might be taken up by a Mr.
flume. or some person in the other House of Per.
liament, and have the abuses corrected ; that Hon.
Gentleman lay his inquiries had done much benefit
to the revenue of England ; he wished from his
heart there was a Mr. Hume a Representative for
Ireland. Ile wished to know why the law side of
the Court of Exchequer its Ireland was excluded
front the operation of the Bill ; at the same time
he was convinced there was no Court in that country
in which justice was better administered ; and he
did nut see why the fees of it should not be affected
as, well as those of the other Court.. The Bill

It was not less for the benefit of England than that
'arf Ireland, that he was 'marquis in his oppo*ition to
the principle of the Bill, which went to commute
fees for fixed salaries. to be paid out of the public

chequers were consolidated, and that in whatever
way one was affected equally influenced the other.
He concluded by strongly recommending that the
Noble Secretary of state should withdraw his ot.

sufficient time and opportunity for making their

Before he concluiled, he expre.s.d his opinion

to cage she considerinion of the hardships which
were to be inflicted on thorn unfortunate people,

I Lord Stosiouett said, that he knew enough of
the order of proceedings in Parliament to 66.01
imitating the irregularity of the Noble Lord, who
had guise to such lengths of disciersion on Bitl*
which were not before the House. The Noble Earl
had taken the opportunity. on making a motion
which was not to be opposed, of discoseing all the
merits of two Bills which hail been brought into
Parliament for the better regulating of fees and
emoluments in Irish Courts of Justice. The Bills
were OW then before their Lordships. All he could
with, propriety say of them was, that they went lo
give limited salaries in compensation fur fees which
were exorbitant, unlimited, and enormous—which
operated on the suitors of those Courts and on
the country at large to a scandalous degree of
oppression. and a gross suit shameful abuse of
the principles of justice. The Bills had been
instigated by the inquiries of Judiciel Com..
mioriorrerr, who had declared their couviction
that the abuses ought tin longer to be tolerated.
and that reasonably limited salaries ought to be
paid in lieu of fees so enormous and exorbitant in
amount. But if there had been no Rrp.ut from
those Cominiationers to recommend the Bills. it
would have made no difference with him as to the
support which lie was inclined to give to the principle
of fixed salaries being paid instead of untquel mid
unlimited fees to officers in Courts of Justice. The
Noble Earl complained that It seemed as if it had
been intended to pass the Bill through all its
stages without soy observations being made upon
it. In truth, he had only abstained naming a day
for the discussion of it, on account of the shaeuce
of a Noble and Learned Friend of his whom he
was very anxious to have present in the discussion
on the second reading. He had waited also for
the Reports which were preparing to be put into
the hands of their Lordships ; seine of those Reports
were on the table, other, would be ready by Friday
next. at which time lie intended to move the second
reading of one of the Bill.. Their Lordships al-
rea.ly possessed sufficient information on the sub-
ject to make it unnecessary fur them to wait for
any Reports. before they could be induced to adopt
a principle for the administration of justice, which
would remove one of the moat pernicious and ex-
tensive evils under which justice had ever been
administered. lie hoped tor their Lordship.' as-
sent to the Bill, the second reading of which lie
now give notice he would move on Friday next.
The Earl of LIMERICK, in endeavouring to re-
' ply to some of the observations of the Noble Earl.
was so far from agreeing with him in opinion, that
any neglect was *hewn towards Irish affairs by
Ministers, that he must for one. as an humble
Irishman, return them his most heartfelt thanks for
the great c Are and attention which they uniformly
paid to the welfare of Ireland. He did not think
that the House could be at all considered in a state
of ignorance upon the subject of the Bills, to which
irregular allusion had been made. The Noble
Easl proved by his observations that he at host
was not in ignorance. For as it seemed to hun
(Earl of Limerick), the Noble Earl bad 'hewn
enough in his ingenious statement to prove much
necessity for the measures proposed to Parliament.
