The LORD CHANCELLOR was extremely glad to
find that the Bill now on their Lordships' table met with
the approbation of the Noble and Learned Lord. He
would not follow the Noble and Learned through the
statements be had made on other important matters, be-
cell.° the present was not quite the proper occa.ien for
doing so; but he wished to observe, that as he was
aware of the many di facts in the Court over which he
presided—defects which were the growth of time, and
which had existed during the period when his Noble
and Learned Friend and others had held the great seal
—immediately upon his entering upon the duties of his
present office. a B,l,cien w,s made of gentlemen 8113,WK
the must informed at the Chanc -'y ttv, the mcet alive
to the di facts in the Court. and the most fitted to bugged
a remedy; and those gentlemen aere milled upon to am
as a commission to rteeew the whole system of Chat cry
practice. They had since been most diligently eta-
cloyed, ard his Noble and Learned Friend beitl aware
of the character and ability of those gentlemen would
doubtless derive ceesidershle comfort from the confi-
dence he must entertain, that an inquiry conducted by such
gentlemen must be followed bv some af..ctive measure
of reformation. There wits already a report on the
table from the commission, which had reviewed the
whole proceedings at c-mmon law, and a Bill, which he
hoped to present to their Lordships before the close of
the s.fssioe, was being prepared from the materials of
that rep rt. It was not I,ki•ly that a report from the
Chancery Commission could be so fir advanced as to
allow of a similar step being taken with respect to it in
the present session, but it weed& ao ter as it mieht re
ceive their Lordships' approba ton, be most carefully
carried into eff ct. Tne Noble ant Learned Lord's sug-
gestions with respect to the present Bill would receive
the most careful attention. They had principal reference
to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; but the
present Bill addre,eed itself to the remedy ut a particu-
lar evil, namely. to prevent the recurrence of the incon-
venience which wan felt to arise last year from the ab-
sence of several of the Learned Judges in the courts of
equity in consequence of illness. It did tot profess to
• go further, because, as the Commission to which he had
alluded was in tweed operation it was thought better to
wait for the report with a view of then applying a ge
neral remedy for existing &fects. Consideriug that the
Noble and Learned Lord had presided over a court such
as he had described, the details which he bad given cer-
ainly entitled him to great By repathy.
Lord BROUGHAM said that he had endeavoured to

apply as much remedy as he could to the defects which
were justly complained of. lie sheul,l like to know
when steps would be taken to turn to public account the
criminal law digest. It was thirteen mouths siec t that
he received a letter from the Chancellor of tee Exche-
quer, stating that no time would be lost in doing so.
Were proceedings in respict to that to be conducted
with the same snail-like pace as business in the court to
which he bad just directed their Lndshipie attention?
