}eculiar jurisdiction, and he proceeded to show the otigia
~f it. He contended that the continuing to call
-Ton brokers in :therity of London to find security for
their respectability was simply absurd. The hop factors
were not called upon to give such security, and this arose
simply from the circumstance of their carrying on busi-
ness 012 the other side of the water The principal objection,
however, of the brokers was to the tribunal before which'
they were called upon to appear because-they doubted
much whether the Alderman had power to adminsster
an oath, and when the most compromising state-
ments were made against the broker before the
Court of Aldermen he believed it was done without the
complaining party being called upon to guarantee his
truthfulness by taking an oath. He did not wish to claim
any special privileges for brokers, but what he did
ask was that they should make other traders
&hey the law of the land, and not be made
subject to a hole and corner tribunal' which was
not considered competent to transact the whole
of the powers delegated to it. It was said that there
were persons who stood in need of the most reliable
persons to transact their business, such as foreigners and
widows, but he believed they were-inv'ariabliy sharp enough,
and as for the ladies, it was rather a rare exception to find
one who did not know how to take care of/ her money.
He did think the time had arrived when the brokers of
the City of London should be treated other than as a
dangerous clan of men. He looked upon the practice
that now existed as the remains of a barbarous age, un-
worthy of the times, in which they lived, and unworthy
the support of the House.
Mr. T. BARING seconded the motion. He did so in no,
hostility towards the revenues of the City of London, or
with a desire to find fault with the Manner in which the
magisterial and judicial business was transacted. On the
contrary he thought the practice in existence was a most
objectionable one, and thought-the Court of Aldermen would
do well to give it up. He thought it most unjust that oils
particular class should be treated so unfairly, ard unless
the stigma of vice and immorality could be truly attached
to the class who complained he thought bare justice
would at once call for the abolition of the ancient and
now objectionable practice. He felt neither the corporation
nor the trade of the City of London would suffer in the
event of Parliament giving its assent to the'measure now
under consideration.
The debate, on the motion of Mr. EYKYN, was then
adjourned.

SETTLED ESTATES BILL.
Mr. STAPLETON moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to extend the Montgomery Act,
which was approved in Scotland, to the country generally.
Mr. GOLDNEY objected to the bill being proceeded with
at that particular time, as many members who took an
interest in the matter were absent, feeling sure the bill
would not CM:l2e under consideration that evening.
At a quarter to six the debate ceased, in accordance with
the standing orders.
