Seldom
The ATTORNEY GENERAL observed, tha' the plans
proposed weal to model the whole or the Court of Chancery.
As to the business, there was not that delay which was iin •
puled ; there were no bank • opts' petitions, and no cause set
down last term uthlisposed of. Toe business had been got
through with great rapidity and 601isfactiou.
Mr. LOCKH ART was astonished that any one could say,
that to cull ou the house to consider the question next sessiou
would be to cast an imputation on the court. The enquiries
in the courts of equity were surrounded with difficulties;
they %sere attended with enormous eepences rill Englund
knew these facts to be true. The iustatutious requited
revision; und to say so was not to caw any reflection
nu the calm, or ifif.e practising in it; but certululy the
motion did not merit the stigma of the " previous question,"
—if met at all, it ought to be by manly negative.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW could not agree to the motion,
on the single grimed that there had been delay in the
Court of Chancery. He agreed in the necessity of the
amended motion for the previous question.
Mr. W. SMITH supported the motion, and thought from
the declararion of the noble lord, that the wonder was
that there was nut more appeals, was in favour of inquiry
and change. (Hear, hear.) It was admitted that the
Chancellor's industry only prevented inure delay and
greater difficulties.
After some further observation the house divided on
the motion. 'Elie usimben for it were :12—against it 56.
Lost by a majority of 4.
Mr. MABEBLY•then brought forward Iris motion re-
specting Irish Exchequer amid Treasury Bills; the hon.
member urging that the bills of both countries ought to
be placed oil a similar footing—that no undue advantage
ought to be given to either; and submitted a motion, the
effact of whirls was to secure such !mpartiality.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained
the system of these bills, and contended that there ex-
isted no intimtional advantage on either side.
The house eventually divided ou the motion. The

Toe GR A:WWII-AND Bit. .—Lord MILTON 1610.vetl, that
house should agree to the Loro's aineedateots on this bill.
Sir. WYNN wished to add an amendment to those of
then lordships. namely, to divide the county of York, and
to provide that each division should send two members,
luatcad of the w hole county sending four, as proposed by
the bill.
Mr. S. WOWILEY objected to the bill altogether as
amended by their lotrlships. He declared his determina-
tion to take the sense of the house on the amendment.
Lord LON DON DERRY was in favour of the amend-
ments to a certain degree, and would rather agree with
them than risk the loss of the trill. He could not agree
with his bum friends' Yorkshire feelings, that the other
branch of the legislature had no right to interfere with the
form of representation adopted by the House of Coin-

mons.
Lord J. RUISEL agreed with the noble lord in opinion,
that it would be desirable to pass the bill, to skew the
people V. tie determined to do something in compliance
with the wishes of people; and therefore, although the
amendments were destructive both of the noble lord's
opinion and his own, still he would support them rather
than risk the bill. The amendments were ultimately
adopted.
The bill was then ordered to be carried back to the

lords.
Lett, MILTON, in consequence of this bill has tog now
rashest, gave notice that it was his hitention tar-morrow to
move for leave to !trifle in.& bill for the more convenient
taking of the poll, in the election of knighte of the shire
fos the county of Yolks (Hear.)
'rigs ensiererus-tox et. Associscrost.—The Marquis of
LON1)O/SDEKKY having moved, that the report of the
committee of supply be now briniest up,
Mr. BROUGHAM ruse to call the attention of the
house once more to a society, the existence and nature of
which lie had occasion upon a former evening to briug
under its notice. He held in his hind a letter which had
been distributed among lie members, and which purported
to be a copy of another letter, a circular. It came from
"The Bridge-street Committee." And what was their
object ? Feist. to expound to the magistrates the law of
the land in cases akin'. They enclosed in this cis cular
a copy of a pamphlet, composed trader their auspices,
and containing their expositions, their digest of Bite law,
fur the guidance of the magistrates. (Ilear.) But the
object which they bad in this circular veut tired to avow
was sot to be passed over. (Mr. Brougham then read
from a paper)—" Sir,—ln pursuance of the 4th resolution
of the address"—but the house ought to know that this
was signed by a Mr. J. B. Sharp, Who styled himself
" lionutery Assistant Secretary," was dated No. et,
Bridge-street, Blackfriars' and addressed to the magis-
trates—(hear, hear)--to the magistrates ~f England!—
" I am ditected Sty the committee to transmit you a copy

Were requited to enter into an engagement never again to
