SCOTCH JUDICATURE BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in rising to move the se-
cond reading of the Scotch Judicature Bill, said, that it was
his intention at present to Make but few observations on the
subject, in moving for the concurrence of their Lordships that
the Bill be read a second time. It would be in the recollection
of their Lordships that when during the last Session of Perlis-
n:^^• a Bill- was brought into the House for improving the
system of Scotch Judicature, their Lordships, in considering
the best and safest mode of proceeding, had thotight fit to ap-
point a Committee, in order that the Committee might lay be-
fore the House the opinions of those whose peculiar advan-
tages enabled them to be best informed on the subject. A
Commission had therefore been appointed in Scotland, and that
Commission had, he understood, been unanimous in their deci-
sion. Their Lordships should recollect that the parties named
on this Commission. were selected from the most experienced
persons, to convey to their Lordships the best information pos-
sible. He would now take the liberty of offering the Bill to
their Lordships, to be read a second time, fot the purpose of
being committed. In its progress through the House it would,
of coarse. be competent in their Lordships to offer such clauses
and amendments its they thought proper r, but it was his in-
tention to introduce the Bill precisely as he introduced it last
Session;•as it would not be conformable to the dignity of the
House to introduce it in its form as amended by the other
House. At the same time he begged to assure their Lordships
that in coating the Bill in its present shape he did not in the
least degree intend to oppose any alterations they might wish
ton to make.

un-
derstood to be, to interfere to a certain extent with the juries of
that part of the Kingdom called Scotland, would their Lord-
ships make the Bill, as it now stood, perpetual, or would they
take time to allow the Bill to operate before so doing ? He
should therefore now move, " That the Bill be read a second
,time, and that it be committed on Monday next."
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, he was going to sub-
mit to his Noble and Learned Friend and the Noble Lords,
whether it Would not be better to commit the Bill to-morrow,
and to have it then considered and amended, in order that it
may be re-committed on Monday ? He knew no reason why
this should not be the case, as it would prevent further delays,
and enable their Lordships to dispose of the Bill at once.
The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed in the opinion of the
Noble Lord, but he might be so occupied to-morrow as to be
quite unable to pay attention to the subject : were it not for
this he should be happy to accede to the wish of the Noble
Lord (Lauderdale.) He (the Lord Chancellor) would endea-
vour between this and Monday to make such alterations in the
Bill as would save the House considerable trouble ; and he
should propose that, if the House thought proper, the Bin
should be then re-committed on Wednesday.

.. .. _ . _
The Duke of ATHOL said, that he approved. of the main
nrineiPle of the Bill, anti hoped that when the Bill went into a
Committee, such alterations would be made as would satisfy
the inhabitants of the northern parts of the kingdom. He
would not offer an opinion at present on the merits of the Bill
in its present form ; but he would reserve his observation. un-
til the Bill was before a Committee, and- then he would deliver
Ahem." Ffom what - had fallen, however, from the Noble and
;Learned Lord on the Woolsack, he apprehended that Bill
would be altered in many respects before it. was laid before a
Committee.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed un Monday next. •

SPRING GUNS.

Lord SUFFIELD rose, pur:4lant to the notice he had given
.some days since, to call the attention of their Lordships-to a:
sithject which, in his opinion, was one of very great imp it twice
Act to declare unlawful the use of spring-guns and other
instruments, which tended to, the destruction of human life, or
the infliction oLother injuries. lie hadi been, informed that
it was consitlerft by the House tnnre orderly to pass- by
without any observations the motion for a first reading,
lest replies should be invited, which would conic better at the
second reading. He should, therefore, simply confine himself
to stating the object of the arid the reasons that induced
him to bring it forward. The object he had already stated in
reading the title of the Bill ; and, if he were asked the reasons
why he produced it, he should refer to the accounts that are
daily contained in the public papers, of disasters that have
occurred through the use of those instruments,. and of their
consequences to the many persons who have been injured.
Indeed, it appeared that poachers were, of all, the persons who
suffered least, who were the least injured by the instruments
that were used chiefly for their punishment. Gentleman's ser-
vants, even Gentlemen themselves, had been frequently suf-
ferers; indeed, he had understood that by means of those in-
struments, even Royal blood had been nearly shed. He was
sure that their Lordships would- hardly sanction an 'individual
in taking the law into his own hands, and visiting a culprit
with a capital punishment for an offence for which the law
would have visited men with a punishment far lighter. He
objected to the use of these instruments, more especially be-
cause of the sneaking and assassin-like manner in which the
punishment was inflicted. Ile would not say that all who did
so were murderers, but he was sure that no Noble Lord would
wish to shed the blood of a fellow-creature who entered his
grounds merely to steal. It was, however, necessary that the
subject should be brought properly before their Lordships. As
to the legality of spring-guns, he thought he might undertake
to prove that they were illegal; he could not state that the law
'was distinctly -so ; if he could so have done, it would not have
been necessary for hini to present the Bill he now held in his
hand, the effect of which was to have all doubts on the subject
cleared up. His mode of making out the illegality of those
instruments would be by analogical arguments, at the second
reading of the Bill. He would not now trouble their Lordships
with any further remarks on the subject, but simply move the
first reading of the Bill, and that it be read a second time this

•
day senniglit.
Earl GROSVENOR said, he highly approved of the Bill,
and believed that it would be productive of much hood.
The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time this day se'nnight.
