ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL.

Lord DURHAM said he thought their Lordships
might not to allow this Bill to proceed any further
during this Session. It was a Bill of the greatest
importance, MI had been subjected to so many
amendments from the Lord Chief Justice of the
King's Bench, that: he
,was of opinion their Lord-
ships ought to take time to consider the propriety
of its enactments. When it was considered, too,
that it taxed the people to the amount of 18,0001,
a year, this was another reason for postponing the
measure, and giving time for the consideration of it.
The Marquis of .RUNE said, that when the
Noble Baron stated that this Bill taxed the people
to the amount of 18,0001. a year, he did not state
the case fairly. 'rho Bill suppressed the'offiees of
eight Welsh Judges—(Hear, hear)—and the Noble
Baron ought in fairness to have stated this, and to
have deducted the salaries of the Welsh Judges
from the sum of 18,000/. But even if this deduction
were made, it would milk, be incorrect to say that
the Bill taxed the people to the amount of the dif-
ference, for many of the items of which the sum
was composed must cease at no very distant time,
and, in the end, this Bill would be a relief instead
of a charge to the nation. He knew from personal
experience that Wales had been for many years
anxious for a measure of this kind; and he'should
be very sorry, therefore, to see it postponed.

_ .
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that what
the Noble Marquis had said was perfectly correct.
h e permanent charge upon the country would be
diminished and sot increased by this Bill. He did
not feel himielf called upon to detain their Lord-
ships now, because, on the second reading, he bad
gone fully into the nature of the enactments of this
Bill, and into the grounds on which those enact-
ments had been founded. The Bill had been fully
canvassed in the presence of the Lord Chief Jus-
tice of the Court of King's Bench, of the bite
Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and
of the Noble and Learned Earl who had preceded
him in the dice of Chancellor. Their Lordships,
on those occasions, bad appeared fully sensible of
thr merits of the Bill; and the Noble Baron (Dur-
ham) had made no objection to it then. In the
Committee the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
King's Bench suggested several alterations in the
details, but none in the principle of the Bill. Ile
had pursued that Learned Person in the amend-
ments so proposed, and to. him and to the two other
Noble and Learned Lords, to whom he had before
alluded, the amendments appeared to be good. Last
night be had agreed to the postponement of the Bill
until stow, because he wished to read the amendments
in print ; he had since done so, and he lied no hesita-
tion in saying that the Bill was now in a fit suite to
be reported to their Lordships. Under these cir-
cumstances he protested against the proposal of the
Noble Baton (Durham) to postpone a measure
which was pregnant with advantages to the inferior
Courts of this part of the country, as well as to''
Wales; and which, so far from adding to, would
diminish the ultimate charge upon the nation.
Lord DURHAM said, that so far from the Noble
and Learned Earl (Eldon), who bad been alluded
to, acquiescing in the principle of the Bill, the
Noble and Learned Person had said that all the
words after the word " that" ought to be struck out
of it,—for that it was impossible to place the Bill in
an unexceptionable shape by means of amendments.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not wish to
prolong this discussion, but lie could not allow that
observation to pass unnoticed. If the Noble and
Learned Earl (Eldon) did entertain those objections
to the principle of the 13111, he must say that the
Noble and Learned Earl ought to have stated them.
It was very likely, that the Noble awl Learned Earl
might have said in conversation, that which the
Noble Baron (Durham) attributed to him ; but it
was quite certain that the Noble and Learned Earl
did not say it to their Lordships. He therefore hail
had no opportunity of combating such objection,
and he saw no reason why their Lordships should
Attend to them, suggested in this way, not by the
Noble and Learned Earl himself, but by the Noble
Baron, who had happened to hear them.—( Hear.)
The amendments were then reported, and agreed
to: Bill to be terui a third time to-morrow.—A&

EAST INDIA COMPANY'S MONOPOLY.

Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the
inhabitants of London and Westminster, against the
East India Company's monopoly, The petitioners
prayed not only that the trade to China and India
might be thrown open, but also that India might be
governed on principles of justice and liberality,
Mr. TRANT supported the prayer of the poi-
Cnion, which, be observed, involved the couthtion
of near one hundred millions of our fellow-
men, lie hoped no private interest would be al-
lowed to stand in the way of rendering justice to
such a vast population.
