GENERAL.

Mr. OLDHAM prefaced a vote of thanks to Sir
Thomas Denman, now his Majesty's Attorney-
General, with a few words expressive of the high
senile the Court entertained ofthat distinguished
dicer's conduct while Common-Serjeint.
Sir N. LAURIE bore the warmest testimony to the
talents and virtues of the Attorney-General.

Ahleiman ATktt.ts had so high an opinion of Sir
Thomas Denman as a Ctitninal Jude, that he
thought it necessary to entreat the indulgence of the
Court towards the next Common Sedeant, whoever
he might be, in the comparison of qualifleations.
The vote was curried amidst acelamaticus, and
ordered to be inserted in the newspapers,

REDUCTION IN TUE ALLOWANCE TO THE FUTURE
COMMON RERJEANT.

Mr. PEACOCK brought up the report of the Com-
mittee appointed to inquire into the duties and emo-
luments of officers and clerks. Previously to enter.
ing upon the subject, he wished to know whether
his Lordship bad received any information as to the
intention of his Majesty on the subject of the, in-
vitation to dine in the Cluildball
The Loun NIAVoR had received no official intel-
ligence with respect to the invitation to his Majesty;
but he apprehended, from what had leached him
from a source that was not official, that his Majesty
would defer his intended visit to another period.
Mr. PEAcocK then proceeded, without making
any comment upon the disagreeable intelligence just
communicated, to speak upon the subject of the re-
port, which referred principally to the office of
Common Serjeant, now vacant. lie observed, that
24. years ago, it had been considered necessary to
raise the' salary of that office from 5501. "'to 10004
a.year; and that the Committee now, after having
duly examined the nature and extent of the ditties of
the office, recommended a reduction of the salary,
in accordance with the principles which Ministers
had pledged themselves ready to act upon.--41Ieur.)
The report was then read. It stated that the
Committee, after having taken into due considera-
tion all the documents and other information relative
to the office, had come to the determination to re-
commend that the salary of the Common Seijeant
be reduced from I,OOW. to ,8001, a year, and that
that officer should perform additional duties, and
devote his time to the acquisition of an intimate
knowledge of the privileges, customs, franchises,
&c., of the city of London..--.(Loud cries of Hear.)

Mr, Thetuitosowasked what the amount of they
extra fete to the Common Serjeunt were annually ?
Mr, PEACOCti understood from the, late Common
Seljeant that they amounted to between 200/. and
300/. a year.
Mr. CHARMS PEARSON cOngralttlated the Court
upon theArat step they had thia day, taken in the
cause of municipal retrenchment and reform.
The report wits thenegreed to almost unanimously.
Mr. C. PEARSON then stated that he had a most
itnportunt question to put to a learned officer of the
Corporation, who was a candidate fur the office of
Common &jean's, and he was convinced that a
manly and candid answer would be returned. It
was, whether that gentleman (Air. Law), in the
event of his gaining the appointment, would pledge
himself before he was sworn in to surrender the
situation hepow held as One of the Judges of the
Sheriff's Courti)—(lleir, hear.)
Mr. LAW—Most certainly it is my intention, in
the event of my succeeding to the office, to resign
my present office.
Mr. PEARSON expressed himself gratified. with
the candid answeer of the learned gentleman, and
had no doubt of receiving as candid an answer to
another question. Mr. Law held another appoint-
ment. He was of his Majesty's counsel, and in the
event of his succeeding to the office of Common
Seljeant, would he, before he was sworn in, resign
that appointment ?—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and
" No, no.")
Mr. LAW said, with some emotion, that although
emolument was attached to the office for which he
was a candidate, he felt nodiffieulty in declaring that
he would not resign the appointment of Counsel to
the King. He had had the honour of being twice
presented to his Majesty—once upon the occasion of
going up with an address from the city of London,
and again upon the occasion of his appointment:as
one of his Meiesty's Counsel, and it pleased his Ma.
jesty to say to him, that be hoped his fortunes would
be us prosperous as those of his father (Lord Elien•
borough.) . .
Mr. PEARSON then addressed the Court in a very
impressive manner. He contended that not only
would there be an impropriety in conferring the
office upon a gentleman who already enjoyed the
dignity of King's Counsel, but that the two ap.
pointmenti were incompatible with each other, their
duties inconsistent, and the oaths of office- were inv..'
concileable.—(Hear, Parson diiclaimed
any personal grounds for his opposition. Ob-
jected on constitutional grounds to the union of
two offices inconsistent with each other, and to the
endangering of the rights and interests of the citizens
of London, by Merging the importance and dignity
;of the office of CoMmon Serpent in ,the incom-
patible appointment of King's Counsel.—(Cheirs.)
Mr. LAW said lie had no doubt that he could
.tain a special licence from the Crown to plead for
the city of London, and it was his Impresnon,' that
when once' that was obtained, it would 'always au.
thorize him to appear for the Corporation, even
when opposed to the Crown. When he had said
hut he would not give up his silk gown us King's
Counsel, he did not contemplate .such an event us
the refusal of a Special licence-. to, plead for the city.
If ever that should occur, he did not. mean to any
that he would not then surrender OM) office or the
other.

The report of the Committee on the subject of
the situation of Common Pleader was then brought
up and agreed to, and after some other business the
Court adjourned.

thing. It vtould, in the face of his very bold des
fence (if aggravation of the original offetice can tie
called so), have appeared strange; but an acquitta/

as immoral.: The,,peirroaoent land, for Ecelesiaatieal
Peerages he considered el,lotttlete,which would ever
press on the people, since the Clergy never dies.—
He then referred to the discussiono of the Chamber
Deputies, when those'pensions were voted by a
majority of onlyv.,* against 1611; 21 were absent,
for verious,motivee. •
M. Philippe Dupin considered the creation of
Ecclesiestical Peers as fatal to religion and the
country. The episcopacy seas ever anxious to ob-
tain an undue influence in public affairs, and to mo-
nopolize the high offices of the. State. Napoleon
had curtailed them with his powerful hand; but,
since the Restoration, they put forward their ex-
travagant pretensiona, which were unfortunately
realized. The consequence was, a considerable'
augmentation in our Budget. The Clergy filed the
principal lucrative. and honorary, situations of the
Administration; they invaded the Chamber of
Peers, and France only wanted, to complete the
aystem, et Cardinal Prime Minister. M. Dupin
considered it a measure of good policy, and favour-
able to religion, not to allOw the Clergy to sit in the
Chamber of Peers. He consequently proposed a
sub-amendment„ having for its object to " declare
that the pensions paid to Ecclesiastical Peers should
cease on the Ist of January, 1834 and that none
should he created for the femme."
M. Lameth supported M.
,Dupite's amendment,
but opposed that of M. SalVerte. The Chamber
of Peers," sailfhe; " .regularly constituted ;we
are no longer in the 64 dayi of August last, end
leave wo right to intirfere'with that Chamber."
Jollervet said that the Charter provided for the
re-organization of the Climber of Peers? and that
the Deputies would make use of their right in due
time.
M. Art* considered -these amendments quite
inopportune; and wished theM both to be postponed
until the 'Legislature ' investigated the 'Peerage
+question.
AL Birdie said that what a law had done could be
destroyed.by a contrary one. He sepported both
amendments, and considered the permanent fund an
appeal to the Prinee to send Members of the Clergy
into tlee Chamber of Peers. M. Barthe could not
suppose that a 'financial question, in which the
Chamber of Peers was involved, could occasion a
discuseion among the tyro powers of the Legislature.
The former (added hey keowe its dignity too well
not to sanction a measure which the country re-
quired.
M. Botereleitu approved the principle of the amend-
merits. He MS one of the minority that had voted
spina the Ecclesiastical pensions. However, he'
did not think it proper to entertain the subject with-
out knowing what were the intentions of the Go-
veronica on so important a matter. The invalid-
satiate of the question might be delayed until the
+discussion of the Budget.
M. Bernard was for entertaining the matter its..
mediately. No good reason (said- he) had as yet
been adduced to show the impropriety of suppres-
sing illegal pensions. He refuted the objection of
Bourdeatt, " that it was not advisable to examine
the question before the Government made its linen.
Conti known," by quoting the article of the new
Charter which invested the Deputies with the
power of presenting amendments to abrogate exist-
ing laws.
M. Mirtigeac granted that the new Charter eon,
ferted that tight to the- Legisleture ; but he thought
it It tumid be lightly wielded end that, in the present
ease, if the Chaniber'thought' proper to adopt the
prope.sitiotiott •the ordtir of the day it should be
