HOUSE OF LORDS.

Having removed the Peers' seats, the workmen
list morning began to take up the floors on either
side of the House, to examine the nature of the
foundations for the pillars to support the two gal-
leries. These floors, on being tailored, will be
more gradually elevated, so that the back freewill-.
may have the fullest possible view of the witness*
below the bar and of the whole House. By this
elevation pit additional bench will be obtained.
The position of what are called the " ero•s
benches," which heretofore ranged parallel with the
bar, wilt be altered : they are to run in lose with
the side benches, should it be deemed requisite to
retain soy of them, beyond what are required for
the Judges and Clerks of the House near the table.
The galleries, it is expected, may be made more
capacious than was at first calculated ; and that
would afford the opportunity to dispense with some
of the benches near the bar, which it is feared
would interrupt the view from those who may sit
on the woolsack% the Royal Dukes, the Lord
Chancellor, &c.
The partitions below the bar for the Counsel,
witnesses, and parties immediately interested, are
marked out; and these separations from the
" strangers" are forwarded according to the rect.-
dents in the cases of Judge Fox and the Berkeley
Peerage.
