PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Jm 3.
LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT, &c.

Motion made and question proposed, " That the evidence
taken before the committee of this house, on the Leeds
Bankruptcy Court, discloses that great facility exists for
obtaining public appointments by corrupt means ; and that
such evidence, and also that taken before the committee of
the House of Lords in the case of Leonard Edmunds, and
laid before this house, shows a laxity of practice and want
of caution, on the part of the Lord Chancellor, in sanc-
tioning the granting of retiring pensions to public officers
over whose heads grave charges are impending, and in
filling up the vacancies made by the retirement of such
officers, whereby great encouragement had been given to
corrupt practices ; and that such laxity and want of cau-
tion, even in the absence of any improper motive, aro, in
the opinion of this house, highly reprehensible, and calcu-
lated to throw discredit on the adininistration of the high
offices of state. Amendment proposed, to leave out from
the first word " That" to the end of the question, in order
to add the words " This house, having considered the re-
port of the select committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy
Court, and the evidence taken by it, agrees with the com-
mittee in the opinion that the facts which are established
acquit the Lord Chancellor from all charge in the matters
to which it refers, except that of haste and want of cau-
tion in granting a pension to Mr. Wilde, but this house is
of opinion that some further check should be placed by
law upon the grant of pensions to the holders of legal
offices," instead thereof. Question, "That the words pro-
posed to be left out stand part of the question," put, and
negatived. Question proposed, " That those words be
there added." Debate arising, motion made and question
put, " That the debate be now adjourned." The house
divided—Ayes, 163 ; Noes, 177.
