lions to Scotland. The Noble Lord, after some observations upon
the benefits to be derived from obtaining redress at a stnaU ex-

fore he entered into a more detailed explanation, moved for leave to
bring in a Bill to amend the Acts of the Nth and 401 of Geo. 111.,
for the Recovery of Small Debts.

possession of the Noble Lord's detailed intentions. In answer to
the Noble Lord's wish for information upon the subject of the
Committee, he begged to say that his views were directed to the
criminal jurisdiction of the justice, not like the Noble Lord's, to
the civil ; and that as he did not find the feelings of that part of
the kingdom went along with him, be did not mean to move its re-
appointment.
