IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

CRIMINAL LAW IMPROVEMENT.
Lord LYNDHURST asked the noble and learned
lord on the woolsack when the committee on the bill for
the improvement of the criminal law would meet again ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the committee
stood over for the convenience of the Lord Chief Justice.
Lord BROUGHAM hoped an early day would be
fixed, as it was of great importance that the committee
should finish its labours as early as possible.
Thd Earl of DERBY presented a petition from medi-
cal men of the town of Croydon, praying for legislation
for the improvement of the medical profession, and from
Staines praying for the abolition of the duty on the ex-
portation of British salt to India.
BANKRUPTCY JURISDICTION.
Lord BROUGHAM, pursuant to notice, resented
the following petitions in favour of his lordship's bill for
improving the administration of bankruptcy and insol-
vency in Scotland, and assimilating those laws through-
out the United Kingdom ; from London, by 200 mer-
cantile firms of 'the city of London trading with Scotland ;
from Glasgow, by the members of the Glasgow and.
West of Scotland Mercantile Society, composed of mer-
cantile houses of the city of Glasgow ; from Carlisle, by
35 mercantile firms and commercial men, trading with
Scotland ; from Huddersfield, by 23 merchants and
manufacturers of Huddersfield, trading with Scotland.
The noble and learned lord, after pointing out the re-
spectability and standing of the petitioners, proceeded
to point out, at some length, the advantages which
would result from an assimilation of the mercantile laws
in the two countries.
