ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY (No. 2)

BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT moved, in regard to this bill,
the suspension of the standing order No. 176, which
iequired that three-fourths of the capital of a company
which applied for a bill to sanction the principle of
limited liability should be deposited in the Bank of
England, or be invested in exchequer bills prior to mak-
idg such an application to Parliament. The object of
the present bill was to give limited liability to the coin-
Pany in regard to moneys raised in the future; but in-
Stead of having that amount of money in the Bank of
England, all their capital was invested in telegraph
wires. The noble lord stated that the company
had laid out in telegraphic communication no less a sum
than 700,0001., and as the standing order in ques-
tion was passed simply for the purpose of ascer-
taining the bond fide character of undertakings, he
said he hoped the house would agree to its suspension,
as the bill would enable the company to carry out still
more, and with greater perfection, their projects
which had been so useful to the country, and
as other telegraph companies had obtained a similar
privilege.
Lord REDESDA.LE said so far as the security of
the company was concerned, he did not object
to the suspension of the standing orders, but
he thought it would be wrong to sanction the prin-
ciple of limited liability in this bill, inasmuch as it had
been refused to the other telegraph companies.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY supported the
bill, which he said differed materially from the bills for-
warded by other telegraph companies.
The motion was then agreed to.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (CANADA) BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The Earl of DERBY moved that the further consi-
deration of the measure be postponed until next ses-
isicin. He felt that their lordships had a right to com-
plain that the Government had hurried on a bill of this
importance without giving the house any informationas
'to the feeling of the colony with respect to it. He re-
garded this bill as a measure the effect of which would be
to change the constitution of Canada, and convert it into
a republic.

COMMON LAW PROCEDURE BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Sir E. PERRY moved that it be an instruction to the
committee to extend the provisions of the bill to her Ma-
jesty's Superior Court in India. The object of the bill was
a most important one, and the only objections that any law
reformer could take to it were that its principles were to
be confined to Westminster Hall. The extension of this
bill to India would be greatly esteemed by the inhabitants
of that distant dependency, who, with regard to the ad-
ministration of the law, looked upon us in the light of
b 3nefat tors.
PrilSN seconded the motion.
Sir C. WOOD admitted the importance of the subject,
htitit had been the invariable practice hitherto to require
a loPerate act for extending our laws to India. Ho there-
fhe oonld not consent to legislate for India simply through
but Il
z, b n9dium of an instruction to the committee on a bill ;
eati a yet stronger objection to this proosal. Last year, when the whole affa.irs of India were brpought fully
under the ccaaideratiou
of
Parliament, it was distinctly
Understood that in fattire these detailed law reforms should
be kat° the Government of India itself: 'ThePourts of India
were already in ad,i,iies
of
our own, and since the Indian
Government still evinced a disposition to proceed further
in their efforts to promote law reform, he repeated that it
would be better. t9.le.ave the matter in their hands than
engraft it on this bill
would not be pressed,
Mr. COLLIER hoped_ the motion vi
as it would be far better to extend the provisions
of the bill to India by a Bel:al-ate act. This
was
Much too important a rLraitly% to. be delayed by a
Mere question of extension like this ; -was, perhaps the
most important measure foarndtihfeGcoovuennitr;-enthtaht.aalitadr:t-eaint
would.. be entitled to the
introduced for many-years,
in no other bill than this, they
thanks of the house for proposing it
Mr. NAPIER felt the importance of getting into cow.
mittpe on this bill without delay, and therefore he would
not retard its progress by
moving the instruction of which
he had given notice, that it should be extentled to Ireland.
-Mr. V. SCULLY objeCted to legislating
ec
different sections of the kingdom. He would rather
for
ather have
the worst legislation for Ireland, in connection withE.ang-
land,•than the very best that could be devised for Irene
1l
atone. Ireland, together with India and the colonies,
should be allied with England in the administration of the
hew, and for that purpose alone it would hi advisable to
have a minister of justice.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there was no dispo-
sition to legislate separately for England. and Ireland, but
there were points of practice in Ireland so different from
those of England, that this ineasuxe of legal reform could
only be extended to Ireland by a separate bill.
' After a few observations from I.lr. PUINN and Mr. W.
Iltrinutaux the amendment NMI withrawn, and the house !
went-jute committee on the bill.
• Clauses from 1 to 12, inclusive, were agreed to.
Clause 13 was postponed.
On clause 14, which relates to the constitution of juries, f
Kr. 5. WORTLEY asked if there was any intention this
session to propose any change in the constitution of the
grand jury of the Central Clitninal Court.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAI, said the subject had been
under consideration, in connection with that of the ap-
pointment of a public ii.resecntor. He might perhaps be
allowed to.tajce that opportunity of stating, that of late he lied given a. good deal of anxious consideration to the
