THURSDAY, MAY ?O.

COURT OF CirawecaY.—Mr. M. A. Tarr.flit brought for.
ward his motion ruspecting the separation of Bankrupt business
front the Great Seal. lle was prepared to prove that ruin was
the result of the Comes delay ; had been undone by it;
and he was ready to show these fiats in a Conanitt?e. The ap-
pointment of a Vice Chancellor had not utforiltd the desired
relief, as the revulsion of appcali had defeated the expected
advantage Ile sheukt conclude with moving. that the !louse
resolve *self into a Committee on the I.sdi of Elisabeth, ch. 7.
which plared bankrupt questions under the jurisdiction of the
Great Seal.

Mr. SINCLAIR seconded the motion, as the desired separation
would aflbrd the Lord Chancellor more opportunity to attend to
I appeal CAWS from Scotland, &c.
The Souerroit-Ge NEII AL observed, that the Vice Chancel-
lor had et•sentia/ly relieved the Lord c'huivellor. The Bankrupt
Petitions had been dispoied c so rapidly, :hit all the causes now
ro be heard had been set down since the beginning of last Term.
Wherefore, then, was the cause for a new Court ? Besialts the
appeals in the Lords had been more attended to, for his Lordship
w'o now enabled to attend to appeals three days in the week. If
this were not the fact. a Judge would ROL have sufficient to do
is
attending to Bankrupt petitions alone.; to make such an appoint-
ment would not be doing enough. lie also contended, that the
Scotch Jury•Cotirt would reMtre the Lords from appeals. In
conclusion, be maintained, that a case for &Committee was not
nwde out.

Mr. M. A. Tavr.on replied, and the gallery was cleared fir
a division. The numbers were, 49 Ayes, 77 Noes; Majority
against ihelootion, es.
COAL DUTIEL—AIr. H. Seim NER then nee to bring forward
his motion regarding the Coal Duties, contending that such du-
ties were of an encqual nature, and of modern date. He went
into detail of some of the Arts of Henry the Eighth, Charles the
Second, Ac. imposing duties on coals, which then became a
source of Crown Revenue. BeAdvs these duties there was an
export duty of is. 6d. and for London there was a duty of 441.
metage, and further did. for the Orphans' Fund. The whole
arnourit was 12s. Hid. per ehaldron. What went to the Orphans'
Fund lie should not think of disturbing now, because the pro.
duce of this portion of the duty was pledged for years to come
he only desired the repeal of what ennstituted the pablig revenue:
and he thought the application regrading an artiele of such ne.
ees:ity was correct. -He concluded with moving fur leave to bring
in a Still to take ME the London Port Coal Duties, and to equalize
the remaining duties in the various parts of the kingdom, so that
the Revenue might not suffer. After an extended discussion, in
the course of which it was strongly contended, HUH however fair
it niight be to remove cote oppressive duties from Middlesex and
the ne4{nboaritig Counties, it was unjust to accomplish that by
increasing the burdens of others.
The 'louse divided, AyeaM9, Noes 131: the motion was con-
sequently lost.
land Avraroste obtained leave and brought in his Bill for the
Belief of Insolvent Debtors in England. It was read a first time,
and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow se'nniel.t.
After some nut:ter conversation leave was Oven. The !loose
resumed, and the other orders of the day having keen dispo..4
of, adjoin:ad at one o'clock.
