On the motion of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, this bill

THE SECOND COMMON LAW PROCEDURE
BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Lord CAMPBELL said that with respect to this
measure, which introduced more important changes into
the law than any bill since the time of Edward 1., ho
wished to make one or two observations, lest he should
be thought to concur with his noble and learned friend
opposite (Lord St. Leonards). Although some of the
changee it proposed to effect might be hazardous, they
were all laudable, but he believed his noble and learned
friend disapproved of the bill altogether. His noble and
learned friend has expressed doubts with regard to the
propriety of the judge trying issues of fact without the
intervention of a jury, and if it were proposed to extend
that principle to all cases, he should be disposed to con-
cur with him. In cases where there was a conflict of
evidence, where character was concerned, and where the
trial was as to whether an offence has been committed,
he was entirely of opinion that the best possible tribunal
was a jury presided over by a judge ; but cases wherein
the general facts were not disputed, and which termi-
nated in questions of law, he thought these would be
more satisfactorily determined by a judge without the
intervention of a jury. An important, and, as he consi-
dered a useful feature of this bill, was, that in cases of
disputed accounts, which a jury would he wholly in-
competent to try, either party might apply to the court
to have the case referred to a single individual, who
would sit de die in diem until lie had gone through the
disputed items, and whose decision should be final. An-
other important change was as to the unanimity of juries.
Generally speaking, he approved of that principle of our
law which required the jury to be unanimous in their
verdict, nod though he regarded the custom of locking
up juries without fire or candle or food, in order to force
them to agree, as barbarous, he thought the change
originally proposed by the bill would have been inc,t
clisaetrous, viz , that after being shut up for 12 hours, if
they could not agree they should be discharged. Such
a practice, lie believed, would, if adopted, lead to an
infinite number of abortive trials. When the bill was
before the select committee he (Lord Campbell) pro-
posed that if at the end of the twelve hours the jury
were not unanimous, but if nine should have agreed,
then the verdict of the nine should be taken as the ver-
dict of the twelve. A noble and learned friend of his,
however, suggested that ten should be required to con-
cur instead of nine, and as the committee had—he
thought very properly—adopted that suggestion, he
hoped their lordships would confirm it. The next point
of importance in the bill was the change it proposed
to make in regard to oaths. He shohld be the last per-
son to propose the abolition of oaths altogether, for he
believed, in the present state of society, justice could
not, as a general rule, be satisfactorily administered, ex-
cept upon sworn testimony ; but seeing that a class of
our fellow subjects. whose feelings were entitled to re-
spect, entertained conscientious objections to the taking
oloaths, and he could not wonder at it when he recol-
lected the command, " Swear not at all," it was pro-
posed by the bill that if it should appear to the judge
that any witness entertained that objection really and
conscientiously, he might, though such witness was nei-
ther a quaker, separatist, or a member of any exempted
sect, allow him to be examined upon his affirmation. He
hoped this change also would be confirmed by their lord-
ships. There was but one other point to which he wished
to refer, and that was with respect to the fusion of law
and equity. For centuries there had been a broad line
of demarkation between the courts of law and the courts
of equity, the consequence of which was that parties
were driven from the one court to the other, from the
courts of equity to the courts of law, in order that
issues of fact might be tried, and back again to the
courts of equity, thus occasioning great expense and
delay, and often tending to prevent rather than fa-
cilitate the administration of justice. The principle
upon which this bill proceeded was, that one court
should hear and finally adjudicate upon the case
without the intervention of another court. That prin-
ciple he fully approved of, and he had no doubt it would
work beneficially, and that the common law judge
would be enabled to perform satisfactorily the functions
which would devolve upon him under the, bill. Their
lordships would probably remember a case that occurred
some three years ago, in which the evils of the existing
system were strongly shown. There was a nuisance at
Clapham which consisted of the ringing of a bell, by
which persons in the neighbourhood were considerably
annoyed, and an application was made to the Court of
Chancery for an injunction ; but that court said to the
applicant, before we can interfere you must go to the
Common Law Court and get a verdict. An action was
accordingly brought at common law, and a verdict was
obtained, establiihing the fact of the nuisance, but no
sooner was that judgment announced than the bells com-
menced ringing again. The Court of Common Law had
no power to interfere to prevent the nuisance which it
had decided existed, and it became necessary to file a bill
in Chancery for an injunction to put an end to it. The
application was made to the Vice-Chancellor, and after
the lapse of a few days the injunction was granted.
Why the Court of Common Law should not have the
power of enforcing its own decision lie could not conceive,
and one of the enactments of the present bill was intro-
duced to confer that power upon it, and thus remove an
anomaly in the practice of the law. Again, with regard
to questions of suretyship : if the deed of suretyship was
under seal, they must go to the Court of Chancery ; but
if not, they might be taken cognizance of by the Courts
of Common Law. Why this distinction should exist he
was at a loss to understand.

The Earl of HARDWICKE said, that the more he
considered the provisions of this bill the more he was
convinced that if it became law it would be productive
of serious inconvenience to the navy. He knew that in
the present state of the house and of public feeling it was
in vain to attempt to prevent its passing ; tut he never-
theless felt confident that the functions of the present
prize agents could not he properly performed by the ma-
chinery which was to be established by this bill. A cir-
cumstance indeed had just occurred which strongly cor-
roborated the views he entertained on this point. A
prize having been taken in the Baltic by the James Watt,
was-brought into the river for condemnation. The prize
agent then found that certain charges to the amount
of about 151. had been incurren for the wages and
provisions of the prize crew, and on applying to the
Admiralty to know whence he was to procure funds to
satisfy the demand, he was informed through Admiral
Berkeley that the charges and expenses incidental to the
prize would be paid out of the proceeds when it was con-
demned. But the fact was, that as the ship was not yet
brought up for condemnation, no one could rresume to
say whether she would be condemned or not. Now,
under the old system the prize agent appointed by the
ship's crew took upon himself the whole charge of the
prize, defrayed all the incidental expenses, and took the
risk of be'ng repaid if the vessel was condemned. When
this subject was last under the consideration of the
house, his noble friend (the Duke of Newcastle) stated
that the proceeds of the prize Eliz Cornish had not
been as yet distributed owing to the charges of the
agents. He wished to mention that he had received a
a letter from the agents stating that these charges were
mainly on account of wages and provisioning of the
prize crew, and of repairs ; that they were not responsi-
ble for the expenses which had been incurred, and that
the delay was caused by their accounts being now under
the investigation of the registrar of the Court of Admi-
ralty. He bad on a former oceasion stated his objec-
tions to giving this bill a retrospective action, and he
hoped that his noble friend would now assent to the
introduction of an amendment to guard against this.
Another point on which he wished to insertan amendment
was the following. The noble duke had stated that little
or no injury would accrue to the navy agents from this
measure, because other acts give them a great interest
in the distribution of the value of prizes taken, to the
amount of 24 per cent. upon the proceeds. Now, in
this statement there was a confusion between the navy
agents and the prize agents—the former, who were the
parties referred to in the former acts of Parliament, being
the agents of the individual officers, and not of the crews.
He wished, therefore, to secure to these persons what
was given them by former acts, and which the noble
duke said that he did not seek to deprive them of, and
he would therefore move the insertion in clause 26 of
Words declaring that this bill was not intended to deprive
a ship's crew or officers of the right of appointing agents,
-under power of attorney, who should be authorised to
receive -the prize money from the Paymaster-General,
and to distribute it. He should also propose to insert
another amendment, with the view of preventing the act
from any retrospective operation.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that it was not the
fact that any loss would accrue to the captains
and crews of the vessela which took prizes in con-
sequence of the cessation of the practice of allowing
navy agents to transact the whole business con-
nected with a prize previous to its condemnation.
It was true that, in a case to which the noble earl
referred, the prize agent had been informed by the
Admiralty that the captain's agent would be liable
for the expenses attendant upon bringing the prize over
for condemnation. Eut the fact was that the captain
of the vessel taking the prize was at the present moment
liable for any loss that might accrue if she were not
condemned. The vessel was brought over for condem-
nation at his risk, and he was the ultimate loser if it was
not condemned, although no doubt the prize agent pail
the expenses in the first instance. With respect to the
Eliza Cornish, he ha I not, as his noble friend seemed
to think, brought any charge against the prize agents to
whom she was entrusted. All he said on a former occa-
sion was, that if great delay had taken place in that
case, so that there was a risk of its being brought under
the operation of this act, that delay arose from the fact
of the agents' charges being under the consideration of
the Court of Admiralty. That statement was strictly
borne out by the letter which his noble friend had re-
ceived from the agents. Ho never expressed any
opinion whatever that the agents' charge were exorbi-
tant, although, no doubt, the fact that they were muter
the consideration of the registrar of the Court of Ad-
miralty showed that there was a prima facie case against
them. He could not accede to either of the amend-
ments which his noble friend had suggested. He ob-
jected to-that which related to the' supposed retrospec-
tive operation of the bill, because there was no ground
for saying that the measure would have any such opera-
tion. On the contr.-aye its whole scope and bearing
were entirely prospective ; and it was the intention
of the Admiralty that the prize agents should settle all
matters now before them under the existing law. The
other amendment was equally unnecessary, because the
existing law,ewhich this bill did not affect, secured to

The inauguration of the Epsom Summer Meeting was
far from propitious. Heavy rain had fallen through the
night, and though it did not much affect the absorbent
chalky soil of the Downs, it completely saturated the
lower grounds. The gloomy aspect of the morning was
moreover most discouraging, and the strong showers
which fell at short intertals doubtless prevented numbers
of persons from venturing far abroad. About noon,
however, a favourable change took place, and throughout
the afternoon the sun shone forth with great warmth
and brilliancy.
The company of which there was a tolerably strong
muster in the enclosure, consisted of the leading patrons
of the turf
.and the regular bookmakers. Very few
ladies were visible on the Grand Stand, which, we have
already mentioned, has been greatly improved by the
construction of separate boxes or divisions in the upper
balcony. The general company was considerably below
the average attendance of past years on the first day.
The meeting, of which this is the 75th anniversary, has
undoubtedly undergone considerable changes during its
racing life, and it must be confessed that, although its
constitution is stronger and sounder than ever; it has
lost much of that rollicking mirth and exuberant gaiety
which characterised its middle age, and constituted the
great charm with thousands who like the excitement but
care little for the business of a race meeting.
The racing to-day was, for the most part, excellent, as
the preceding details clearly show. The course was in
capital condition, and from present appearances the hopes
of a brilliant Derby-day are likely to be realised.

Lord ST. LEONARDS desired to say a few words
upon the two points upon which he felt it his duty to
take the opinion of their lordships. The first amendment
he proposed was to ask their lordships not to allow the
words to stand in the 17th clause, which made it suffi-
cient for ten or eleven of the jury to agree in order
that the verdict might be recorded, and to require
that the concurrent verdict of not less than eleven
should be required. He thought it would be very dan-
gerous to break in upon' the ancient institution of trial
by jury to the extent to which it was proposed in this
bill. His noble and learned friend on the woolsack
had placed the greatest reliance on the report of the
select committee of that house, but he had not followed
that report in this instance. The next question Arose
in that portion of the bill, which proposed to allow par-
ties, having a conscientious scruple to taking an oath to

make an affirmation of the truth of the evidence they
were about to give. The law at present went to a great
extent in allowingcertainsectsto decline taking an oath.
That was a very different thing to what was proposed in
this bill, for there a man stood out as part of a class,
well known to have religious scruples against taking
oaths. But under this bill every man, religious or irreligious
might say that he had a scruple. Many men would not
hesitate in telling a falsehood under a mere declaration who
would hesitate if he believed the eye of his Maker was
upon him. Many other persons, too, not having any
religious fear upon them, would not be so careful in
separating facts from beliefs and hearsay knowledge as
they ought, in order to make their evidence avail any-
thing. Again, what was to guide the judge in deter-
mining whether a man ought to be allowed to decline
taking an oath or not ? There was nothing to assist
hint in that decision. It would all go on matter of be-
lief.: In one instant he might allow a man to make a
declaration, in another, refuse another person that license.

a fallacy in every argument which he had heard upon
this 'question. It was taken for granted that the oath
