Mr. ROBERTSON said the Bill was of great importance,
and he trusted that the House would pay great attention to ii.
the Bill struck at all the industry of the country ; it was on
that ground that he opposed it, not because it affected the manu-
facturing and shipping interests in particular. Ile hoped that
it would lie opposed by the gentlemen representing the landed
iuteresie.

Mr. Davenport and Mr. D. Browne hoped time would be af-
forded fur the due consideration of ihe Bill.
Mr. WALLACE observed, that the measure had, in fact,
been before the House since last session. As to what an hop.
member (Mr. Robert,en) had now said, an well as on a former

for the appointment of constables throughout Ireland, and to
secure the performance of their duty.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL that the proposition

the practice of the courts in Westminster-hall.
Mr. C. W YNN was of opinion it would be desirable on many
accounts to assiinulate the judicature of Wales to that of Eng-
land. The people of Wales thought so, but had always, touch
to their credit, left the question to the wisdom of Parliament.
Before he proposed to change the system entirely, however, he
would wish to try what remedies could be applied, and under
that impression lie would recommend his lion, friend to with-
draw bus motion for the present session,
