On the cerderof the day for the third reading of this
bill,
The Ea'l 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 preient state of the house and of public feeling it; was
in vain .to attempt to prevent its passing ; but he never-
theless felt confident that' the functions of the present
prize agents'eotild-noi-be properly performed by the ma-
chinery whicl:(Wat,td be establiiihed by this bill. A cir-
cumstante indeekhad just occurred which strongly cor-
roborated- tire-Views he entertained on this point. A
prize having been taken in the'Baltic by the James Watt,
was broughtinto th,e river for condemnation. The prize
agent then' found, that • certain. charges to the amount
of about
clais bad ' been incurred 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 presume 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 being :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 Eliza 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 those 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. Ho bac! on a former occasion 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 insert an 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 2i -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
worths declaring that this bill was not intended to deprive
a ship's crew or offieers 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 vessels 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. But 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 paid
the expenses in the first instance. With respect to the
Eliza Cornish, he had 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. He never expressed any
opinion whatever that the agents' charge were exorbi-
tant, although, no doubt, the fact that they were under
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 contrary, its whole scope and bearing
were entirely prospective ; and it was the intention
oth eAdrairalty that the prize agents should settle all
matters
nQW before them under the existing law. The

lordships'a the panegyrics that had been pronounced
upon them by the highest judicial authorities in such
matters and by the highest personal authorities, including
amongst them his late and illustrious friend Lord St.

by those parties were such that Lord St. Vincent had

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
luwer 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 o.f. 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.

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, establivhing 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 he 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.

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 allowingcertainsects to 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 tellinga 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 he' se 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
declarati
