Onus that could be tlevi.sett, would, $e an aban,
tiunment of the best principles of the Consti-
tution.

Lord Ii LLENHOROUGH followed, and urged
variety ot- strong objections to the Bill, princi,
pally with respect to its provisions as applicable
to ccrtnin offices in his own Court. .Sonic at its
provisions were ludicrous, us well as absurd and
impracticable, and tantamount to enacting, that
whereas it was found difficult to draw a carriags
up it hill with two horses, it should in future be
drawn up with one. His Lordship farther ritil,
ctsled those parts of the Bill which he described
its being intended to be jocular iii coupling per,
somi together in Sinecure Offices, who seemed.to
have not the most distant relation to each other.
He also ably pointed out the inconsistencies of
the measure; as tarectitig the office of Chief Jus-
tice of the King's Bench. It had no principle,
as if it had any, it was that of substituting Pen-
sions for Sinecures, and measuring services by
time, the very worst and lowest standard that
could be devised, Neither was the proposed re-,.
form advantageous in point of economy. On the
contrary, it was the most e.xtravagant as well as
the Brost.unwise system that could be devised. It
was altogether the most unformed, ill-concocted,-
unread, and undeserving to be read Bill, that was
ever offered to Parliament.
Lord GROSVENOR very'shoilly replied, anti the
question being put, the second reading waS nega-
tived
without a division.

Lord LIVERPOOL, after the discussion of this
'night, thought it could not be objected to, to
more that this Bill he %ejected—which motio.
was put, and carried without a division.
Adjourned.
