Terence, except by the establishment of local courts ; r
but that being done, then every facility for the ac-
complishment of those objects would be afforded.
He had another Bill to present, the subject of
which he would then simply mention. It was in-
tended to effect an alteration in the appellate jurisdiction
of the Privy Council; and he hoped ere long that a similar
alteration might be effected in the appellate jurisdiction of
their Lordships' House, which he could assure them was a
subject of the gravest importance, and one which required
the most serious consideration. He should not, however,
detain the House by any observations on the last-men-
tioned Bill; but if he might be permitted, he would just
state the subject of a Bill which• he intended to introduce
(we understood) before the Easter recess. This Bill
would be directed to effect some important reductions in
certain low offices—namely, the Six Clerks-office, the
Report-office, the Register-office, and several others. It
would also effect the abolition of some useless and cum-
brous places connected with the Cruet of Chancery,
to the amount of four or five and twenty ; remedy
delays in proceedings, and a►ridge expenses. In short,
the Bill he proposed to introduce would impart greater
justice an i accuracy to the proceedings of every
branch of the Court of Chancery. The following would
be the list of the reductions in the offices to which he had
alluded :—ln the Six Clerks-office a saving of 29.0001.
would be effected; in the Report-office, a saving of 4,300/. ;
in the Register-office of 10,500/. ; in the Masters'-offices
of 11,157/. ; which, with the further fees now received in
those offices, to be abolished and compensated from the
Suitors' Fund, amounting to 14,000/., would make a total
saving of 68,957/. a year. He would say no more of the
contemplated measure than this, th it much confusion
would be prevented by it in the administration of the pro-
ceedings of those different offices.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM wished to know whether
the establishment of the local courts under tha Bill p-e-

seated to the House would supersede the jurisdiction
which the local courts at present in existence exercised ;
and also whether that Bill would affect the regulations
for empannelling juries ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in answer to the last
question, was understood to say that the provisions of the
Bill would not affect the sheriff's right of assembling juries.
With retard to the establishment of the courts, that would
very much depend upon circumstances. The extent, im-
portance, wealth, and population of different district, would
have a material influence in regulating the numerical
amount of those courts. Wherever there should he fours,'

to be more than sufficient business for one court, e,'
could be added, in order to insure the adequate a, flu.
nistration ofjustice. In some instances, perhaps, the cou
after despatching all the business in a particular dis-
trict, w• uld remove to another district, and by that means
the manifest inconvenience of bringing parties from a great
distance to attend trials would be obviated. As to the ques-
tion whether the new courts would supersede the jurisdic-
tion of the old local courts, he would merely remark that
there were 280 of these courts at present in ex,stence, must
of which, he had reason to believe, were totally inoperative ;
and some of them, indeed, had had no business to transact
for the last 50 or 60 years. There were, he might add,
many of them which entirely reversed the benefit which
ought to result from legal tribunals, creating mischief
rather than doing good, and enhancing, rather than di-
minishing, the expense of processes. The abuses, indeed,
and u.istnanagements to which those courts were subject
were so many arguments for the establishment of the new
local courts. He must, however, con'ess that instances
were here and there to be met with in which the proceed-
ings of the courts at present existing were conducted in
an exemplary manner; and he would add, that on the
abolition of these courts a just ant full compensation
would, no doubt, be awarded to all persons connected with
them who could establish a title to it by their services.
The Bi,ls were then read a first time.—Adjourned.
