ADMINISTRATION OF .IUSTICE IN SCOTLAND.

Lord GRENPILLE wished to know, Whether it
was intended to go into. a Conalmttee on the Scots
Judicatore.Bill to-morrow ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he under-
stood the Committee appointed to consider where
the Scots Judges should be, placed, would not be
able to make their Report to-moyrow • and he there-
fore moved to discharge the Order, for the purpose
of postponing it till Thursday. ' He gave notice, at
the same time, that he should move, to-morrow,
for leave Ao.bring.,in:a- Bill to settle the -rnode of
placiir' the Judges.o(Scotland and Ireland, whilst in
attendance on that House.
Lord- GRENVILLE objected to any further de-:
lay in the consideration of the ScotehJUdicatUre Bill,
Ellett was a measure of too greatimportanee to be de-
ferred merely on account of :t point of etiquette.
A very long conversation ensued between the Lord
ChancellOr; Lords Grenville, Holland, Hawkes-
bury, the Earls of Lauderdale, tosslyn, Lords Kin-
Alulgraye,. Lord 'Viscount Melville, and the
DUke of MOntrose.

Contended, that the Noble Lords on the otherlside
having sent for the Scotch JUdges, they. ought not
now to press on the Bill, until it was determined
where these Judges should be placed.
The Earl of LAUDERDA LE contended, on the
other hand, that the Scots Judges were sent :for at
the instance of the Nobld and
:Learned Lord on the
Woolsack, who, if he had remained in the seat of
ildneia and of sorroT; would have probably e7,.amin-
ed them at some length ; but now it appeared they
were to be sent back again without being asked a
question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he had never
heard a. merrier speech from the seat of sadness and
of sorrow...- He, hOwever had made up his mind
Upon the Bill; and did riot wish to. examine the
Judges. He had conceived' that there was an Un-
derstanoing that the Bill was to be-pcistponed.- That
not being the case, he had no obje'tion to the Bill
coming in to-morrow ; and therefore withdrew his
Motion.
The Earl of Ross LYN moved, that; the Com mittee
respecting-the Places of the Scots Judges should re-
port forthwith.----This Motion was opposed by Lord
Hawkeshury, and after: some conversation was put
and negatived.
It was then ordered that the Lord President, and
the two Senior Judges of the CiAirt of Session,
should attend to-moriow. • -
The Earl of RassLyt.: moved, that the Committee
should have power to report from time to time.._
After some conversation itwas-discovered that the
Committee,:in coa-s,quenee of Some effed of nega-
'thing the former Motion, was at an end, in
quence, of which Vote Earl of Rosslyn.witildrew his

Lord HAWKiSBURY then moved that the COM-
mittee be revived: -
"The Motion was opposed by Lord HOLLAND, on
the ground that
,the Committee was Merely an ob-
stacle to proceedingon the Bill and after some fur,

Prisoner was observed, in company- with another
_man; walking. behind. two Gentlemen in Bond-
street, one of whom intimated to his friend, that they
were very like Pick-Pockets. The other Gentle-
man was astonished at such an' idea, but on feeling
in his pocket, he missed his pocket-bOokiwhich con-
tained
.some
,loose -notes. • The two men were fol-
lowed and searched, when the

found on the Prisoner. He was taken to this Office,
but his companion escaped. The Prisoner was re-
manded.

IS'To audience "ever displayed a more cheerful coup=
termite than the crowded one which assembled at
Coopers' • Hall on Tuesday 'last. To sit in' perfeCt
security of seeing every number drawn a Prize, with
a rich chance, at 'the same time; of ..posseSsing
some of the numerous floating Capitals, is a situa-
tion truly interesting and deleaabie to Lottery ad-
venturers. 'i'he same happy security of all Prizes
and no Blanks; with another 20,000 pounder to the
first-drawn Ticket, will stamp also with unconinv.n
distindion next Thursday's drawing.

MAYHEW v. HARE.

This, was the Case-ot't he Schoolmaster at Hendon,
who obtained a Verdiet ,of 2001. Damages against
the Defendant (a hatter in the Strand), far a violent
assault upon hiinself, his wife, and daughter, as stated
in our Report'of the Sittings at Westminster after
last Term, when it may -be remembered; the De=
fendant had accompanied a bailiff to Hendon, in or-
der to arrest the Plaintiff.

Mr. JERvfs, on behalf of the Defendant, moved
for a new trial, upini the grounds of excessive da-
mages. But
. Lord ELLESI3OkOt7GI3 observed, that it was i case
of a most aggravated nature; and in giving a WI-I-
diot. for 2051. the Jury had taken into their con-.
sideration, not. Only the personal injury which the
Plaintiff, his wife and daughter had suffered; but the
disgrace and ruin which the Defendant' had endea-
voured to bring, upon him. The rule was conse-
quently refused. •
