The Marquis of LONDONDERRY felt gratified by the
announcement of the Noble Lord ; on a former occasion, he
had understood the Noble Lord to express a different opinion ;
he supposed the Noble Lord had bolted—(A laugh)—and left
him (the Marquis of Londonderry) alone in his opposition to
the Bill. He was glad to find himself mistaken.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said the clause had
been introduced for the purpose of securing vested rights, and
relieving the Bishop from any unpleasant position in which lie
might be placed if, upon any kind of understanding, he should
take the bishopric subject to future deduction.
Lord DENMAN felt that it would be highly improper to
destroy any Courts in favour of which a strong impression ex-
isted in the county in which they were situate without inquiry ;
and he hoped that inquiry would not be postponed, but that
the matter would in a short time be brought to an issue. He
CLord Denman) was at this time the Chief Justice of the
Court about to be abolished • the two gentlemen who happened
to go on that circuit were always, as a matter of course, ap-
pointed the Judges of this Court, so that, in fact, the business
proceeded as if the Court were a branch of Westminster Hall.
With regard to the Court of Chancery, the arguments lie had
heard by no means convinced him of its efficiency.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in reference to the
observation made by the Noble Lord, that the business of this
Court was transacted in his Chambers, had received directly
contrary information.

r The 'Marquis of LANSD 0 WNE should move that the
clause respecting Coroners be left out. It might be intro-
duced into the other Bill respecting the general revenues of
the Church, which would come before the House hereafter.

That clause was then understood to be struck out.

After an observation from Lord ABING E R,

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought the last
clause might be better framed. He should propose an amend-
ment, and take the sense of the House upon it.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE intimated that the Noble
Lord would have an opportunity of so doing upon the motion
for the third reading.
The report was then brought up, and the third reading ap-
pointed for Tuesday.

INSTRUMENTS OF SASINE BILL.
f7pon the motion. of the LORD CHANCELLOR this
BiTh was read a second time.

BA STARDS:WILLS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second
reading of this Bill, stated that the law in Scotland with re-
spect to persons born out of wedlock was at present in this
anomalous position—that those persons, if they had children,
had the power by will of dispossessing those children of their
property ; but if they bad no children, then they had no power
of disposition over their property at all. The object of the
present Bill was to give them that power of disposing of their
personal property by will in Scotland which they already pos-
sessed in other countries.

Lord DENMAN begged to give notice that he should on a
future occasion move that all wills already made by bastards
should be taken as valid and effectual instruments.
The Bill was then read a second time, and their Lordships
adjourned.
