CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT BILLS.
At the suggestion of Lord LYNDHURS! r, the Com-
mittee on these Bills was postponed till Tu(s iday.
CHANCERY REFORM BILL
Lord LYNDHURST called the atte3 tion of his
Learned Friend on the Woolsack to the pis )nise which
he had made at the beginning of the sessio o , that a Bill
for the regulation of proceedings in t} ta Court of
Chancery should in a short time be press u ited to their
Lordships.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that t'h a Noble and
Learned Lord had himself presided over the Court of
Chancery for many years, during which ha must have
been aware of the existence of these evils, arm I yet he had
left the remedy to be applied by his SUC,3 ?ssors. His
Noble Friend at the head of the Governmet ,t had asked
for leave to bring in a Bill in the other 11017 a e to remedy
the evils of which his Noble and Learned Friend had
complained; his Noble and Learned Rriend had
commented upon a former occasion on that
Bill, and had offered several valuatil e sugges-
tions; he had himself also received see Vera! valu-
able suggestions from different member ra of the
profession, and had requested the Noble 1 .ord at the
head of the Government to postpone the nsi ‘asure until
he should have had time to consider those s uggestions.
He (the Lord Chancellor) had considered the m, and had
drawn up a Bill, which would be laid on the, table very
shortly.
Loid LYNDHURSr wished to know mi hether the
Bill would be introduced into their Lordships ' House.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was underta toed to say
that it would.

INCOME-TAX.
Lord LYNDHURSII drew thPir Lordships ' attention
to a clerical error in the Income-tax Bill. 'll ie tax was
voted for one year, and yet mention was made of the last
term of one year. Novf, how there could be a last term
of one year in a year he could not understand.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that inquiries
should be made on the subject. The Noble Marquis
then gave notice that he should move the secou d. reading
of the Bill on Mo,,day.
Dad LYNDHURST again asked how thera could be
a last term of one year itt a tax voted only for I one year?
Earl kiREY said that the fault rested with t.l le gentle-
man who had moved the amendment, and who had
worded it very clumsily, but there could be no doubt as
to the meaning.
Lord BEA UMONT said the Bill read very absurdly,
but there could be no doubt as to its interpret tation, as
the last term of a year of a tax, voted for a 3,, ear, could
only be a year.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

to Mr. Kelly, a justice of the peace for the county of

BORD OF HEALTH.

--: -
Mr. HUME, seeing the Noble Lord at the K sad of the
Board of Health in his place, wished to Ltsk him a
question on the subject of a Bill that was now
before the House. The purpose of the Bill was
to render valid the orders of the Board in re-
spect of six boroughs, one of wii ich was
Yarmouth. Now that town was opposed to tli e Bill, but
the five others were not, and he should th erefore be
glad to know whether the Noble Lord had an 3 objection
to make that town the subject of a separate Ba
