COLE lIE.STER QUARTER SESSIONS.
Mr. Mlt.ossAs moved Ike first readmi of the Colchester
Qoartrr Scssions Bill.. .

......
Mr. %Vv.'TERM said, that this Bill went to make it impera.
upon the Magistrates of the comity of Essex to build
another Quarter Sessions for that county in summer at Col.
cheater, though smelt a step was against the opinion of a
large proportion of the Mnistrates, sail without the justifi-
cation or any precedent. Ile knew that this Petition was
respectably signed, but yet the object was certainly against
the wish of the great majority of the Magistrates.
Mr. WILDMAN said, the Act would not imperatively re-
quire the attendance of the Magistrates at Colchester who
objected to the Bill; it certainly was introduced with the
approbation of a number of other Magistrates, who, he pie-
stained, would be ready to attend the Sessions when the Bill
authorised it. _ .

....
Mr. I). W. Hattvey said, that the I'.•titiun embraced co-
gent arguments to justify this pill, and unless some very
forcible argument was tit get! against it, the measure should
have his support.
Admiral HARVEY had no objection that the Bill should
receive a fair consideration, hot he must say that 24 Magis-
trates Were against it, and ouly 5 for it.

The Bill was then read a find time.

SCOTCH COURTS.
EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE.

Mr. BZOIABIIA7I rose to pot off from tu•morrow until
Thursday fortnight, his motion respecting the Scotch Jury
courts. His lion. Friend, the Member for %Vestminster,
was kind enough to let him have precedence on the day
to which he meant to put off his mitt' ; and on Wednes
daYt the 201 h of June, ht• begged also to give notice, that he
would bring on his question on the general subject of &hi •
est• . The reason he put off his motion et...peeling the
/Wick Courts was, that it was considered by some persons
out of doors in the nature of a private Bill, and a number
of pi-oled IllattUlllllll, All was customary in such
bad been circulated among Members. He wished, therefore,
after it bad been said the last time a similar subject was
brought on, that it was introdored by surprise, to obviate- a
nee of such 311 1110.1111111i011. 111133. WOlllll he amp!,
lime fur all parties to consider the subject before the 20th
of June. Hs begged to take this opportunity of rectifying
a greet mistake which had gone abroad upon the object of
Isis Bill. II was understood that his nwtiun 0311 term I;e.1 at
certain individuals not nn•nmbers of his M:.j•sty's Govern-
meat, who filled offices of one description or another in
those Courts. Now he twegril to explain that this was a
total mistske, fur it hail no eumn►xion whatever with sash
judicial persons, our should he ever mention their names, or
hardly allude to their exist. mute in the view he meant to take
of the subject. With respect to his motion too Eihication,
be stated that copies of the evidence taken on the Commit-
tee, 90 NS as it regarded Englauet, would be ready ten days
before the time Bxed for his sod the evidence re-
spectiNg Seelhuid ',mild be ready won after, and iu lime fur
being read when the Hill should he printed.
