IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 3.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool
sack at Five o'clock.
MARRIAGES (INDIA) BILL.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Lord ELLENBOROUGH called the attention of
their Lordships to several objectionable provisions in
the measure, and suggested that is should be referred to
a Committee up stairs.
Lord BROUGHTON thought in Committee the Noble
Earl would find the greater number of the objections net
by the amendments which he should have to propose.
Several of the objections made by the Noble Earl had
been removed; and it should be remembered that this
Bill had been submitted to, and approved of, by the au-
thorities in India. He would not objeot to have the Bill
committed pro forma, reported, and reprinted with amend!
meats; and if the Noble Earl should then desire to refer
it to a Committee up stairs, he would not object.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH would not advise
the Noble Lord to rely on Indian matters on the
opinion of a gentleman who had reaiiied solely in Cal-
cutta; such a person was much more likely to make mis-
takes than a person who bad never been in India.
The Bill was then committed pro firma, and ordered
to be reported.

COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the
County Courts Extension Bill. The object of the Bill
was to give to the county courts jurisdiction in bank•
ruptcy, so as to spare the county the expense ot main-
taining the courts ot bankruptcy. He proposed to eve
the Bill read pro Aormta a second time, and at the nest
meeting of the fir)use to have it committed pro fo, ;ita.
and reprinted with the amendments which he proposed
to introduce into it. An objection had been made that
Bills of this nature ought to be originated in the other
House and then brought up here, bat to this he might
answer that the Bankruptcy Bill of 1839, the Central
Criminal Court Bill, and the Judicial Committee Bill
had all been introduced in that House and sent down
hence to the other House.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Thursday.
