TER. AT-LAW,

Humbly Showeth,—That a Bill pending before your I
Honourable House for facilitating the Administration
of Justice in the House of Lords and the Privy Coun-
cil, concerns a matter upon which your paltioner pre•
sualei to offer to the consideration of your Honourable
House, the result of much reflection end experience.
That the Crown has for many years past been used,
at its discretion, to refer to the Privy Council, divers
petitions upon subjects not cognizable in Courts of Law
or Equity ; being complaints by, or against, Crown
officers and claims subject to the adjudication of the
Crown ; and at the like discretion, the Crown has also
long used to refuse or deity indefinitely the hearing of
such petitions,.complaints, and claims.
That by the 4th section of the statute, his late Ma-
jesty King William IV., for better administering justice
in the Privy Council, the reference of matters of. this
sort to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
was left to the discretion of the Crown, and what was
before an uncertain and often unjust practice, thus in
1833 became a legs! injustice.
That by BM now before your Honourable
House the sane v.l discretion is left uncontrolled, and
thus by continued acquiescence a new sanction is given
to a system which unceasingly works great wrong. Its
victims have Lean known, under the torture of despair,
to commit suicide, and to kill a Minister of State ; and
the sufferings of many under the same system arc often
heper than those, which, in some cases, lead to suicide
or assassination. Besides all which, the usage of not
heating such petitions, complaints, and claims is against
the ancient common law, which only requires good
guarantees by stttute for hearing parties to be satis-
factory.
That your petitioner submit; that this s'a'e of things
constitutes an intolerable grievance, and that especially
in our colonies, spread over many !emote legions, it
is even more mischievous to the public service than
cruel to individuals.
Petitioner therefore prays ths.t there may be added
to the Bill afore:aid a provision, enjoining the Judicial
Committee to hear and determine every petition pre-
ferred to the Crown by or against any public officer,
and every comphint or claim at present cognizable by
the Privy Council, only upon express reference by the
Cro ar n._

And petitioner, at in duty bound, shall ever pray.
Presented by Mr. Hume.
