OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

HOUSE OF LORDSL-(YESTERDAY.)

Robert Leaman, 23, labourer, was indicted for stealing
1 dozen pairs of braces, the property of the London
and North-Western Railway Company.
It appeared that prisoner had been carman to Messrs.
Boxendale, the railway carriers, and in August last he
had in his care as a carman, a parcel of hosiery which
had been sent from Leicester, by Messrs. Staines. From
this parcel of hosiery some braces were stolen, and
nothing more was seen of them until the prisoner's
conduct gave rise to his being taken into custody.
The jury acquitted the prisoner.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his Re 4 on the wooleack
at five o'clock. .

The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition in
favour of a prohibition of the saleof spirits on the Lord's
Day.
The Duke of ARGYLL presented general petitions
praying that a law might be passed prohibiting the dis-
tillation from grain.
THE NEW ADMINaTR,ATION,

The Earl of WESTMEATH said that a belief existed
that a change was anticipated in the administration of
the Government in Ireland. The noble earl said he also
had heard that a noble earl who he did not see in his
place had been appointed to theVice-Royalty of Ireland.
The name of Howard was a sufficient guarantee that that
appointment would create general satisfaction, although
his private opinion was that Ireland would greatly be-
nefit by the abolition of the office altogether. There was
a!so another appointment, namely, that of Mr.llorsman,
Rho had, it was said, accepted the office of Chief Secre-
aiy for Ireland. Although he (the Marquis of West-
meath) was a nationalist, he must say that he was by no
insane sorry that it was not an Irishman that was ap-
pointed to that office. lle was sorry to find that no steps
had been as yet taken to correct the evils of the Board
f Admiralty, which evils had been clearly stated by the
late Sir G. Cockburn in a paper which had recently ap-
peared in the Times newspaper•. He trusted that the
noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government
would take ad vantage of the return of Admiral Dundas,
obtaining his advice and services in that department.
Admiral Dundas had executed. an ignportant and delicate
task, as Commander-in-Chief in the Black Sea, in a most
creditable manner, and be had come home, having re-
ceived the approbation of the entire service.
Earl GRANVILLE said there was no inten-
tion on the part of her Majesty's Government to abolish
the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. He differed
altogether from the sentiment of the noble earl. He had
himself heard the sentiment of "Thank God we have
still a Lord-Lieutenant in Ireland " loudly cheered.
With regard to the other appointments, all the informa-
tion he could give him was that Mr. Horsman had ac-
cepted the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland, and
that Sir C. Wood had accepted the office of First Lord
of the Admiralty, at which he expressed great satisfac-
tion.

The constable in the case said that he found 40 lbs. of
tea in the prisoner's lodgings, and wished to know what
he was to do with it.

The Recorder said he could not make any order.

orated them that the thing must not be done again,
and it .oas not repeated. The mule thing could not be
done 1 rich the a!dernien ; they were corporation jus-
tices, a nd irremovable. He thought that this power
ought I obe given by the bill to two or more justices in
petty s essions, assembled at the usual place where ses-
sions * ere wont to be held ; and he had no indisposition
wha ts' .-er to give the same power to any one of the sti-
pen 21‘s IT magistrates. Since bringing in his own bill he
ha( 11' tad frequent communications on the subject from
thr d .strates, professional men, and the Society of Jus-
th ;ea' Clerks.

Lord CAMPBELL said it gave him sincere satisfac-
tiA ma to anticipate the pleasure which it would give to
gr and juries and magistrates whom he might address on
th e circuit to hear that such a measure was before their
le) rdships with every prospect of success. Their lordships
co aid hardly imagine the anxiety of the public in the
pr. )vinces fer that improvement. That poor wretch who
cai ne before hint on circuit for stealing an old shoe, value
on, penny, might have been three months in prison pre-
via acily. But it might be said, why not hold quarter
see, rims more frequently, so as to lesson the evil Their
any,carer to him publicly was, that they were not bound
to leold quarterly sessions more frequently ; but pri-
,a, Os, they said they refrained from doing so with a
vie qr of the evil becoming so exaggerated as to cure itself.
Thy iti gs were not so conducted in Scotland. There, the
she 7.1 i f in every county and his deputy were always en-
gag !din trying all cases within a few days of their oc-
cur.' •en ce. There was a distinction in the Jaw of the
Lud ; present which was a disgrace to it. As the law
stooe" 1.. now, you might go and cut down a load of wheat
on a ,Se:, and that was but trespass ; but the removal
of r strip brouglit the person within the criminal Jaw.
7 be NOBLE LORD roe again in answer to a Tres-
tier by Lord ST. LEONARDS, and said, as we understood
bin t, that he would not give the magistrates the power
of I Orfeiture against these parties. At the same time,
jus time was now administered most purely by unpaid
ma rietrates. Formerly the squire used to sit in his ball
and his• clerk was his gamekeeper, and poachers used to
be c onvicted there. Now they met in curia.
L ord ST. LEONARDS regretted the noble lord's in-
ten, led absence when the bill would be in committee. He
was alarmed at the great extent of punishment put in the
pov rer of these magistrates, who could sentence those
tha• t had pleaded guilty to two years' hard labour. Con-
sidc ring that they were convicted without a jury, he
doubted whether they ought to pass it to that extent.
He did net know whether the eases adduced by his noble
and learned friend from quarter sessions were quite ap-
plies tlate ; for, if they could not trust the justices assem-
bled ill quarter sessions, he did not see how they, could
trust the same persons when fewer in number. But it
did silo .w how careful they ought to be in looking into
the pro visions of the bill.

Earl DESART thought, from his own experience,
that the bill would be advantageoustolreland, and hoped
that it I would be extended to that country.
The :LORD CHANCELLOR replied.
The :bill was then read a seemed time, and ordered to
be corn: mitted to-morrow (this day).

The speedy Trial of Offenders Bill was read a second
;ime.

The 1 'urchasers Protection against Judgments Bill was
read a t hiid time and passed.
Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to seven
o'clock.,
