pedient to introduce it in the other House of Parliament
this, session.'
Lord BROUGHAM said that what had taken place in the
other. House of Parliament relative to the Patent Bill, as
detailed by, his Noble and Learned Friend, afforded a rea-
son why he Should refrain from pressing his Noble and
Learned. Friend, on the Woolsack to introduce the great
Chancery iteform Bill into their Lordships' House.
The Earir*ELLENBOROUGH recollected a conversa--
tion he had. had Many years ago with the late Lord Lon-
donderry on this subject, and he believed there never wawa
man more carefully observant of the practices of the Hou
or better acquainted with its rules.—(lle.ar, hear.). And
he said he did not think they should gaii much time by
introducing measures into their Lordships House, for he
never knew an instance of any Bill coming down from the
House of Lords which was received with favour by the
House of Commons. If that was said with truth of
an unreformed Parliament, he confessed that he did not think
that the change which had taken place since was likely to
have improved the feeling of the House of Commons in that
respect. Their Lordships' strength was in dealing with mea-
sures which came up from the other House; and he thought
their Lordships would best consult their interests by adhering
to the old practice.—(Hear.)
Earl GREY could not agree with the Noble Earl. There
was no doubt that the prospect of passing important mea
Bm.„ was much greater when they were commenced in the
other House of Parliamentintroduced
and for that reason he much re-
gretted that a Bill by the Noble Earl opposite,
which passed through their Lordship? House, had met with
so little favour in the other House of Parliament. He
thought, however, they would never see the work of legis-
lation carried on without delay, until some arrangement
could be hit upon by which measures which had been con-
sidered in one session in the other House of Parlianlent
could be taken up in the next in their Lordships' House.--
Hear, hear.) He believed there had been a valid technical
objection to the Bill which had been proposed by the Noble
Earl ; but he did not say that they should not adopt, by
resolution or Bill, some satisfactory mode of dealing, in sub-
sequent years, with measures which had been in former ses-
sions under the consideration of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.)
Their Lordships then adjourned.
