HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BILL.
On the report of amendments to this bill being brought

The LORD CHANCELLOR said since this bill was. last
before their lordships he had made certain amendments to
fleet the objections that had been raised to it by his noble
and learned friend (Lord Cairns), because he should very
Much regret a postponement of the bill for another year.
The bill, if assented to by Parliament, would not come
into operation until Michaelmas, 1871, and one of the
great objections raised against it was the proposal that the
rules for the guidance of the consolidated courts should be
urawn up by the Privy Council, subject to the modification
of the court itself. The mode he proposed now was not
t° give up the bill for the session, but to go on with it. If
Passed, the court would be established, but with respect
to the rules he was ready to say that the act should not
come into operation until the rules for the new court had
received the sanction of Parliament. Her Majesty, with
the advice of the Lord Chancellor and others,' would at
Mice proceed to frame the rules which would be very nu-
merous, but they would be of no avail until confirmed by
act of Parliament. One other of the proposed amend-
ments to the bill would-be the appointment of a new Lord
Justice of Appeal, subject to the provisions of the bill.
Lord CAIRNS said he was quite satisfied with the course
Proposed by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack.
After a few words from Earl Grey and Lord Westbury,
The report was received, and the amendments ordered
to be printed.

to bring the Appellate Court into unison with the High
Court of Justice, was recommitted, and ordered to be

giving the Lord Chancellor power to name the one that
Was to proceed.
Earl GRANVILLE did not see the slightest necessity for
