COURT OF KING'S 11.1,..NC11, FEU. 11

to set
ItiTs
dchit Octiast 'n(tioftitohiet
King
against
.Fitzpatrick. •
Mr. Fitzpatrick kiting appeared in Court, was,
at the, motion of thv Attorney-General, committed
previous to the motion being brought up.
Mr. 01..:0145EL proceeded to state the grounds
of the motion. '1 they were, first, what Counsel
considered the misdirection of the Judge in charg-
ing the Jury to find upon the inuendoes of the
information, without heeding whether there were
any averments of the matter contained in these
itmendoes ; the informatioo at the :aurae tine con-
taining none.
The second ground for the motion was, that
there was material variation as to matter of fact,
between the evidence given or admitted and the in-
formation.
The third ground for the motion was, that the
defendant had been deprived of a right, pending his
trial, the use of which might have been of service
to him, and which, at any rate, the Court ought
not to have withheld. .This was the privilege of
Counsel to speak to his evidence.
Fourth, That the Jury had, upon the most ma,
terial part of the information, found the verdict
without evidence,-and even contrary to evidence.
• The CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. JUSTICE, DAY de-
livered their opinions, which related solely to the
first ground for the motion, and were entirely
opposed •to it. The Chief Justice read an ek
~,tract front the answer of the Twelve Judges.of
England, to certain gnestiOns .proposed to them
by the House- of Lords, on the occasion of the
la it "pct Libel, and whichyient alto.,
gether againt the infeience3 of Counsel fur the
defendant.
The opinion of the Court Was unanimously
against the motion.
The motion for an At rest of Judgment was
next to come Ott but as it was felt that if would
encroach very much on the business of the Court,
Counsel agreed that it should stand over for next
Term, on condition that' Mr.Eitzpatrick were ad-
mitted to bail. -

The ATTORNEY•GENERAL mid, that he should
he willing thAt Mr. Fitzpatrick slu ht4411(1 Ma on
his own recognizance, if be would give up the
author of the libel.

This having been declined, Air. Fitzpatrick's bail
was named—himself in one thousand pounds, and
two suret;es each in five hundred.

CARTER, 8, Chering-crosi, (leaving it to wiser
beads to determine whether the London Ports or
the Out Ports should enjoy the India Trade) begs
to say that if his London Friends continue so ea-
gely to buy up all his prizes. The (,hut Ports

414 1 his ,judicial, bad a cha-

law
racter of another nature, He was .the fir. .
patron in jiitlicial appointments, and bad great
v•eight in the selection of the puisne judges, and
he could not but think the manner in which that
power WAS ,exerted, to be the main reason why
the seats of justice were filled in this country, in
a manner unknown to the other parts of Europe.
The selection always made of such fit persons to
fill the seats of justice, could not arise from ac-,
cideut. The effects of accident were varying and
uncertain. It could not therefore but arise from
some inherent cause in the character and consti-
tution of the Chancellorship. lie would ask
what that cause was ? The person called to fill
the, place of Chancellor was at all times the most
eminent Lawyer in the country, because other-
wise it would be impossible to di'scharge the dit-
ties of such a situation.. tie must then have lived
in habits cif intimacy with person:; most eminent
in their profession, and his feelings as well.as his
duty would naturally direct to recommend to the
seats of justice such men as were fittest to till
them. If such were really the, case, be would
ask ,whether, if they hazarded a change in that
office, they would i:ot also hazard a • change in
the results that followed front it ? if that which
should be primarily judicial were rendered pri-
marily political, he would ask whether there was
not a probability that such would be recommended
to the seats of .Justice as were best adapted for
the discharge, not of legal, but political duties ?
And when a laWyer saw that he teas likely to ar-
rive ut the head of his profession, not by legal
learning, whether it would not lie an inducement
to turn aside his attention front legal to political
pursuits ? 'Would there not be reason to fear that
the choice of judges would beintlitenced too much
by political considerations ? The next inquiry to
be made was, Whether,
.in point of fact, it was
likely to happen that the Chancellor would be so
disengaged from his jadicial (hides, as to lead
to such evils The object of the present Bill
was nut to render the office Of Chancellor less la-
borious, but to provide some assistance for that
part which' he was not able to perform. The Bill
had in contemplation the relict not of the Chan-
'cellar, but of the public. He. would now say 4
few words as to the question of the increase of
business in the Court of Chancery. Until within
the last twenty years the Chancellor was found to
be 'fay adequate. to the discharge. of all his, du-
ties: Now, if the business was supposed to be
doubled, it would follow that an assistant would
not have sufficient business for the employment,of
leis time. `The Chancellor had, not only to per-
form judicial but political duties ; and until the
last twenty yearit he found time for the discharge
of them both.; it followed, of course, that an as-
sistant, discharging may half the jtidicial duties
of the office, must be in a great measure unem-
ployed. the truth, however, Mils, that the busi-
ness in the Court of Chancery was not doubled.—
The measure of the increase was to be. taken from
the actual accumnlation. In the first pear in which
the accumulation of business commenced, there
was only a small excess, which the Chancella at
that time was not able to discharge. The next
year a like measure took place, and there being no.
opportunity for extraordinary exertion, the year
being fitly occupied by the ordinary exertions ,of,
the Chancellor, the accumulation went on to a
greater extent. The csertions made by the Chan,
cellar last year, were beyond any former example ;
he sautetimes sat till tea o'cloi:k at ni'At.

was no satisfttetory information in the repo'Aqs,.
Whether the accumulation ;ad prOcceded for ten or
twenty years.. He was disposal to think that
the acenandation hod commenced twenty years
back ; frig argument's sake, however; he would
admit that it had been going on only for ten years,
and Isa would ask, what time was likely to be oc-
cupied, in subduing thiS accumulation 3 In the:
Court of Chancery the causes depedding were 130,
in the noose of Lords 270, in. all about 400. If.
one Judge was.called in to assist, the Chancellor
could subdue this accumulation in one vein'; then
the increase was as one to ten. His opinion was
that and Judge could effect this object in the
course 'of 'a ,year, even admitting that he
were only to sit on juridical days, of whiph there
'were .abort two hundred sin the .year. The four
hundred causes depending could not be all efficient
causes! There were, perhaps, „Gfty out of that
number that were proceeded in for the purpose of
delay. The Master of .the Polls, in the years
1810 and 1811, had heard: upon the avera.4-it three
hundred and seventy causes, and six hundred .1.1. a
fifty petitions. Ile satbut 120 days.in each year,
and in fact not, so many. It might be said he had
hut twenty juridical days in the year. •The,tother
hundred nominal days were but' frictional parts Of
days, as hew' hutfro.m six o'clock iu the eviining
till ten. Now, supposing they could 'make 21)1)
juridical clays in the year, in which causes should
be heard by the Lord ChancellOr froni ten in ,the
morning till four in` the afternoon, taking days
of six hours each, if sueli an arrangement Were
' made, three, times time number of conies at present
heard could be disposed of in the year: if -then
'he might assume that' four htindred causes could.
be heard in the year, he was justified in saying,
that were the change he proposed effected, instead
of four hundred; twelve hunUed. could be got
throngh With. But then it might be said, the
cases brought before the Master of the-Rolls ‘v ere
less difficult than those on which time Lord Chan-
cellor had to decide. Supposing, however, s three
of the former to be only equal to one of the lat-
ter, even in that case four hundred might be dis-
posed of in the year; and theassistanee the Mas-
ter Of, the. Rolls might be entibledto give, Ina.king
every allowance for the increase of business,
would be ampl9 sufficient to remedy the evil. The
arrear once subdued,,if the assistant Judge gave
to the business. but. one tenth Of his time, it might
be effectually kept down.. lie might be thought
by some to be out in these calculations, but ad-
mitting thut.lte'svas, and that instead of a tenth
part of the time of a Judge, which would not
otherwise be employed, a fourth part should be
required, what necessity was there for the present
measure 3 The Lord Chancellor, if be bad sucli
an offieer put under hint us this Bill went to en
&jet,. Would he likely, with the best and purest
motives, occasionally tea. sitmlc into indulgence, till
ultimately his.. judicial character becutae a most
forgetter. The piaster of the Rolls was an offi-
cer appointed-by the Constitution to render as-
sistance, to the- Lord Chancellor., If the rd

Chancellor wanted more assistance than be at pre-
sent lied, was it not natural for them to turn
their eyes to this officer, to see if, by another dis-
tribution of his time, he could be made equal, ,to
the task of affording tine assistance required. By
the Coastitution, the Master of the Rolls was not
required to attend the Prize and Plantation Ap-
peals before the Privy Council He might. then
be withdrawn from these, and his place might be
supplied by the Lord Chief Parbn of the Exehe--
quer. To 200 judicial days which the Lord Chan-
cellor might, have, the Master of the Rolls could
be enabled to add 110.; and such assistance would
be' not only ample, but out of all proportion
more than was required, while the Master of the
Rolls would not hew more of his time occupied
than the other Judges.' It ought to be made as
efficient a's possible. Additional services would of
Course call for additional emoluments, cud •if .the
arrears at present complained of at first encroach-
.ed on his time and east, he was sure he would be
amply rewarded by the consciousness of having
served his country.' In two years, the arrears
might be effectually got under, and the business
from that time could be met. without difficulty.—
Having said this, it was not his intention to put
his negative on the Bill, but us he thought it very
desirable to pause Lelcire they committe4 -them-
selves to a MCll3llle o such importance, he would
move, " That the House shoold resolve itself into
the Committee on that day fortaig-4."

Lord CASTI4RtAUIt persevered in the motion
be had made fOr the Speaker's leaving the Chair.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, it he succeed-
ed in convincing the House that the plan he (Mr.
Leach) had suggested was Inner than that now
before them (when the provisions of this Bill were
fully developed in the Committee,) could put a ne-
/gative on it on a future day. To adopt the Man
of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman before the.
present Bill had been in a Committee, -would be
to treat the Bill unfairly. In persisting in the.
Anotion he had made, lie desired to be understood
as in no way putting a bar to the consideration of
the Hon. end Learned Gentleman's plan, but as •
acting.from a feeling that the Bill before theta
had not yet been put fairly in competition with it.
In justice to his own opinion, be, however, felt it
necessary to state, that he did not apprehend the
j)lan of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would.
be found to supply ati adequate remedy to the evil
acknowledged to exist. Ile objected to the argu-
ments used to show that the Judges would have a
large portion of their time unoccupied. This was
stated as if they were never actually and usefully
employed but When sitti.ng in their respective
Courts. He apprehended they were often quite
as usefully employed elsewhere in preparing their
judgments, as they were while sitting in their
Courts The lion. and Learned Gentleman's ar-
guments had, not carried conviction to his mind.
He thought, the,ehanges he had proposed would
not furnish au adequate remedy. The House, he
trusted; would not suffer their conduct to be at
,
all influenced by the lion. and, Learned Gentle-
man's plan at present. He hoped they would let
the Speaker leave the Chair, that he might
offer the clauses he wished,-to propose. It on;the
reading of the Bill it should appear that the
lion. Gentleman's plan plan waa bett,T, the Bill
could then be negatived, and the plan of the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman brought, forward in a
more rege,lae, and Reetise shape.
Mr. Leacit,expliineil. •
Mr. WEATIIEIIALL objected to the plan
,of the
Han, and Learned Gentleman, as be was satisfied
the Mastet.of the 'Rolls would not front eonsi-
det;t6olls. of his own personal eonyenience, with-
hold any service it might he in his power to ren-
der the country. He objected to it, as it would
preclude the Master of the Rai from sitting in
that House, andbenbjected to it, as it went to td:te
the Master of the Rolls from the CoChpit, and to
send the . Lord Chief' Baron there in:his plaee.
The presence of that Noble Lard was required in
the Exchequer, where, if be were removed, there
would be two Law Judges, :led one of Equity.--
Such an arrangement would • make innovations,
which would be found a greater evil than that
Which was at present the subject of cnnipleint.
With this view of the subject he coidd not vote
for the motion of his Hon. and Learned'Vriend.
`Mr. ABERCUOVW.f noticed, and, answered the
objections made by the last Speekey, to the plan
of the Hon, and
.Learned (lentleman. He ex-
pressed himself happy to find the objections urged
to it were of such a nature. as they were, and
that no other grounds, appeared on which be
thought it,his duty to oppose the plan:. He con-
chuloddibrimitaling to the.candmir of the Noble
Lord, (Cuatlereegh) for time between the Com-
mitteeand the Repnrt Lr a mature consideration
Of the meesure. •

Mr. WE:ATM.:RAU. explained.
Mr. IIoRNR, in a low tone of voice, signified
his approbation of the Bill as a remedy for an
it of great pressure and magnitude.
Lord CAsri.vitE&Gil Najd,. he hid uo wish to
lttwry the measure through the tiou,e. The
coute of proceeding he should propose to adopt,
if' the house allowed the Bill to go through a
Committee, would be to delay the Report upon
it till rriday, or this day se'unight, when it
would, as amended, hive been a sufficient thin),
in the hands of Members, •

Mr. PoNsoNay signified his approval of.Altmtlay
next for this purpose. Friday, he ob.,erved, would
be occupied with other important businos.
Sir S. Itommtv spoke in favour of the plan
suggested by Mr. Leach, which, he said, had nothing
new hi it, but simply proposed to have recourse
to what was already in existence to remedy the
evil in question. It would create ao alteration in
the official functions of the Lord Chancellor, or
of the Master of the Rolls. The attandance of
the latter at the Cock-pit, now alleged as a reason
against this arrangement, formed no part of the
original duties of tat officer. it had only hecatne

a Custom in late times. Lrt them t. 13 t tente a
judicial officer to preside at the Cockpit, Nui re-
lease the Master of the Rolls for the performance
of this new duty. Why might not the Members
of the Privy Couaeil, whow early habits of life
rendered them competent, why d.th not they at-
tend and fulfil these functions?. Why not the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster? Of 120
Privy Couttsellot*, it was strange that some one
could not be found to do this. 'the Master of the
Rolls, he maintained, had quite a different of

cd tientleman then yomplinleut
to Mr. Horne, from ‘vitOfe talents-It! antieipated ,
that he would hereafter soaks; a distinguished
figure in the House. He went on to say, that,
his real objection to the Bill was, that it would
produce evils; not to be remedied in atttemptin,; to
remedy a tentporary evil. Lu.. Lis up„inion, the
salary attached, to. the office ought to he fool"e
than 4`,000/. per, annum. It was true that th*
kvits the amount- ofthesrilary of the Master of the
Rolls, and it might seem that Vice-Chancellor
ought nut tit have more. Nit- it ought to be Ft
collected, that the reason why tha_Maitter of the
Rolls bud not inure, arose entirely from the
disinterestedness of that eminent' persou, who

cellar might give to the Vice-Chancellor to re-
verse the decrees of former Chancellors as' anoma-

Master of the Rolla. He acknowledged hirns,:if
the author of the pamphlets alluded to as written
by him. The subject he considered as insufficiently
discussed, and he deemed it to be his duty to de•
vote a portion of his time, occupied as a Was, to
this "parpose. Some Honourable Gentleman had .
asked, would they not have Masters in Chancery
or Judges in that House? For his part be most
say, that he had ever thought thi.t being.,Membera

ment. When the present arrears Were trot
through; the office of Vice-Chancellor wo,ild
sink into a sinecure, and thc way to it, instead of '
being through the rugged and laboriou paths of
the profession, would lie throu;ol the more plea-
sant paths of this House. Before they created
'such an office, they ought to ascertain tlidt the
Lords would do their parts towards getting the
arrears of business discharged by earlier fftteUd-
ance in Appeals. On every account he was of
opinion that the Coinmttee should be Sitspetti.!ed
for a fortnight.

Mr. Bxruurtst 'said the measure si9ol4:the

then went into an argument of solne length., sheav-
ing that the services of the Master of the Rolls
were not available for the purposes desired .4 the
Hon. and Learned Gentleimin opposite. By cus-
tom he was established' as presiding at.the
pit, and as for calling for the Chief Judge front
another Court (the Exchequer), where the*buSi-
ntss was nearly as much in armor as in the Court
of Chancery, the scheme appeared to hint to be
absurd and incapable of application. He gene-
rally defended the principle upon which the
was founded, and gave it hit warmest support.

Mr. .TErlllOl complained of the iniputation
against the practisers at the Bar of the Court of
Chancery. Nothing could be more unworthy the
eharactet of these Barristers than the suppositfOn
that the servile deference which they paid to the
Bebch was so great, that it prevented thew from
haavirli the matiliness to protest against any abuse
which might. exist in that Court. To think that

ted. to such an otEce.was abintrd ; it was next to
impossible, and was a phantotp which could exist
only in the imagination. No man would ever gd.
cept (at such en office who was incapable of per.
formin:,
,the duties of it.
Sir S7.OIt.TF.L 1t0411.1,Y explained..
After a few:wOrds from Mr..SttiThen, Mr. M:u.
ryatt, and ;fir. Simeon, the question being put,
the amendment was negatived, and the original
question carried.
rite House having then resolved itself iuto
Committee on the Bill, ‘Mr. Courtenay in 6%

Chair ;
Lord CASTLEREAS4II prOpOsCit. several CIRLISCI
to the Bill, which were tarried. ',they were,
that the salary of the Vice-Chaneellor should be
50001. per annum ; 2tool. of whieh to he paid 14
the Lord Chancellor trout the emoluments of. his
Office, the remaining moiety to be paid out of the
Suitors, om Dead 'Ca4li Fund ; •that 600001. be
invested for the purpose of covering the latter

moiety.
Mr. R. GORDON here observed, that it would.
be better that the salary. of the Vice-Chan-
cellor should be paid entirely by the Lord Chtrn.
cellor.

The other clause propwed by Lord. Castlereagh
was, that neither the Vice-Chancellor nor any of
his Officers should be allowed to take any fees ex*
cept salary.
Mr. PONSqNB" Y expressed the pleasure which
he felt at the different- elanses which had been
approved of. He thought that matt r..r.s had at last
been arranged in a,.vay Which could not fail to
command the approbation olthose who had at
firt opposed the. bill. Ile 60;14 ftilt the ju-
risdiction would be, so excellent, in consequence
of the manner in which the buiiness had been
concluded, that it would certainly put an end to
all litigation,—(.l/widt.)—There. could only re-
trilliLl a little innioble corittnyessy about who had
a right to this, and Who had a right to that. Ije
congratulated thUse C-..ntlimien who had opposed
the bill, on having it last bad matters adjusted,
in a inanner.so completely satisfactory to all,coa-

cerited.
Mr. PaasTQN, adverting to' the Suitors` Fun;l,
out of which it was intended to pay one-half of
the salary of the Vice-Chaneillor, thought that
some meninres Should he taken to restore the
property in that fund to those peOems.who had a
right to it. For tkci purpose 'it Would be proper
to appropriate part ut the fund to discover the per-
sons who had a. claim to any part of it.
Mr. Simeon , said a few words, exprelive of
his stir .e that the Hon. Gentleman should not
know that such a plan as that which hp propo3ed
-vas impracticable.
Mr. PRESTON 4:epliqd.
Mr. COURTZNAY agreed with his Iron. Friend
(i%lr. Preston), in the opinion, that as the pto.
petty of the Suitors' Fund was unappropriated, a
great proportion of it might be distributed among
,hose who a right to it.
