THE NATIONAL REGISTER

Mr. SCARLETT was glad to hear what had fallen from
the crown's law °Meer, and condemned the character aid
principles of this association. As ill Sudety; such security for
good behaviour, it became impassible. As to the postpone
meat of trials, he hoped the elrctiontence would he COO.
tittered before the sittings were Axed for Octobers this had
been submitted to for two pear—but if gentlemea were re-
attired to at tend to the profession of the law, they tomtit not be
expected to attend all the year round, Sundays excepted.—
He also was sorry to And that no progress bad been made in
the erection of new courts; so that be rested neat lens they
would be subjected to the inconveniences of having separate

and distant courts.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR thought that it would ►e adel-es
able to take into consideration whether it would not be ud.
vuntageous to free the Common Pleas from the trammels
which now bound that court, and enable it, like the King's
Bench, to try criminal causes. What he thought of was
the public—he aas for preventing the delays of Justice.
Mr. DENMAN said, be should look at aoy oath akeration
with considerable jealousy. He had heard what bad fallen
from the Attorney General with much satisfaction. The
practice of binding over fur good behaviour had originated
with Loud Sidmontb's famous circular. To try the correct-
ness of the circular, Mr. Butt brought an action against Sir
N. Conant ; and Mr. Batt was now in•prisosed for the cosies
Sir N. Conant's costs had, he understood, been paid by the
treasury l Was that fact true?—Petition read, and ordered
to he printed.
Stem', •an Norms'—Colonel DAVIES presented a
petition from Capt. Romeo, setting forth the services belied
✓endered to the Sicilians, and particularly to the British
army when in that island. The petition having been read,
Lord LONDONDERRY said, that this was the second
time Capt. Romeo had appealed to parliament. As to the
treatment of the petitioner, his lordship had directed Sir W.
A'Court to institute all possible enquiry. and to see that
Capt. R. experienced no vexatious resentment on aireoun
of his pelitical character, or of his services to the British
army. He thought there was no case made out to warrant
the interference of the house. _ _ . .

Lord W. BENTINCK admitted. that if Capt. R. had
demands fur services, they ought to have been made to him I
but bit sufferings and losses in consequence of his connection
with the British army stood on quite a different fouling As
to the pension, it should have beets more, or nothing at all ;
sad the money rendered for the pension should have been oat
a more liberal scale.
Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON said, the services of Captain
Romeo had met with taunting insult. That was most unjust.
The Br' h officers had said that Captain Romeo's conduct
towards the British army had drawn on him the enmity of
his own government. He thought Captain Romeo was en.
titled to the generous consideration of this country.
Captain DA VIS replied, there were certificates in support
of Captain Romeo's conduct from those Neapolitan officers,
Ore. on whose subsequent statements the noble marquis now
relied. He hoped the government would re•cons+dcr the
case. Petition ordered to lie on the table.

Mr. W. SMITH presented • petition from various persons,
complaining of extents in aid—the lion member elating,
that the subject culled for the interference of parliament.—
Ills former bill had done much gond, the extents in aid
having been reduced hum 249 in one scar to twenty or less.
He had not yet been able to examine the cases submitted to
him, nhich accounted for the delay that had taken place.
Mr. S. WHITBREAD then brottAht forward liis motion
on the Bridge•stvet association, conchal) ll iii g the society,
and maintaining that it was contrary to the principles and
spirit of the constitution. He concluded with moving an
address to the King, praying, his Majesty to direct the Attor-
ney-General to enter a Noll Prosarti in all the proceedings
in timed by the society styling itself the Constitutional
Association.
Mr. Bathurst, Dr. Lushington, Sir M. Cholmondely, Mr.
Wilberforce, and Mr. Denman followed. .

The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion,
considering that it would be premature to agree to any such
proposition.
Mr. BROUGHAM strongly condemned the nuocintion,
which he said was better known try the name of " the
Bridge-street gang." The motion was eventually negatived.
The house then adjourned.
