The Earl of LAUDERDALE complainel that
no return had yet been made to the Order for an
Aecni • of the Reversionary Grants by the Chief
Judges of ibe Co-rtsfol Law and Equity. To give
opportunist. for that return being previously made,
be now moved, !bat the crder for the second
reading of this Bill be discharged, and that the
Tetsuo to the order of their Lordships be forthwith
made."
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he did not
see how sue. A retina could be made from the Court
of Chancery ; he knew of no offices in that Court
which were ranted in reversion by its presiding
Judge nor was tie aware by what officer the return
called for could with propriety be matte. The
order had not been served upon any body wise could
be deemed the proper officer. If the Judge of that
Court h id the power of granting places in reversion,
it was unknown to him.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE sa;d, the order
was dire/fed to the Chief Judges in the Courts of
Law and Yquity
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as to him-
self. it was not in his power to give any return ; as
to Lord Elleidsorough. and the other Chief Judges,
they were new on the Circuits, and at a considerable
distance from London.

Of Appeals, to the amount of 1001. and in the year
1780 toe sum had been exonded to .'OOl. ; not-
withstanding this, the number of Arceals, particu-
larly from Scotland, had cnnside'ably increased, so
as to become a matter of serious inconvenience and
complaint. He believed the cause of this was
grewly owing to the comparative cheapness with
which AirkHints could bring their Appeals before
the Bat of th.t House. He had Ithown instances
of Appeals which had beret requested to be
beard upon a bye day, and yet, when the day
arrived, thk re had been no less (ban an at ray 't six
Datristers Al their Bar, end the Cause continued
upon this sc she for nine dal.s successively. By such
means the Respondents were unavoidably involved
in a very considerable expense; and, Le verily be-
lieved, that in some cases of landed property, tins
expense and delay arose from a disposition to with-
hold the real profits and interest of estates and
money in dispute, probably for the space of se-
veral years. To coned these evils, the motion
which he hxd in contemplation to propose, WAS to
award foil costs to be paid to the Respondent,
w: en the decision shoold be in his favour. After
some tarsi er observations, his Lordship gave no-
tice, that early in next Session lie should Mang lor-
watd a motion regulating the payment of expense
of Appeals trout the inferior Courts.
The tradesmen's Assets Bill thassed through a
Con:mitt r, alter sever amendments pr,posrd by

ap-
pvinttid for Wednesday next.
