Dyaks be not Malays, we have the deposition of a real
Malay' (ualeat quantum) that the Dyaks were every
bit as piratical as himself. It is not denied, however,
of these " communities of Sarebas and Sekarran,"—the
veritable individuals attacked—that their habits are, to
say the least, disagreeable and peculiar. Whatever
they may do at sea, they are perpetually at war upon
land. Whatever weapons they may want, they have
enough, at any rate, to cut off the heads withal of any
neighbours they may catch, and these abscinded members
they have an ugly fashion of smoking and curing. More-
over, they must certainly take to their boats sometimes,
fur it was in their boats that they were overtaken; but
ere are assured that there is no evidence to connect their
water expeditions with any but unexceptionable objects.
That they are pure savages and practical cannibals
every body allows, but they were not " pirates;" nothing
so respectable—not up to any such mark, as Mr. Urqu-
hart very naively put it. Why, then, should they be
dealt with so summarily?
The argument of Sir James Brooke's accusers, either
expressed or implied, avers that he treated these people
as pirates in order to rid himself of troublesome neigh.
buurs. They disturbed his settlement, twarted his Go-
vernment, and plundered his subjects. In a regulir
war after Boroean fashion they might have eluted ills
pursuit, if not overmastered his forces ; so he wide
them pirates for the nonce, enlisted on his side the ter
rible resourc,--s of steam and powder, caught than iii their
pretties, pounded them into csrrion widi grapeshot, and
thus setded the affair out of hand. This is the h-ad
anti front ut his ad• ged ()trending, au t, as none knows
so well as he whether they were wreaks or not, so no-
where but in his OWII conscience
can h.: find a conclusive

therefore, did they put to sea by
what presumption is it argued that those whose whole
life on land is one of war and butchery, accordieg to their
small means, should be metamorphosed into harmless
innocents when they set out on a cruise.
With something more than probability has this whole
agitation been traced to what may be either the con-
scientious outspeaking or the private malignity of a
single man. We may have our own opinions on the
alternative suggested, but this is not the question with
which the public are concerned. The charge against Sir

On Friday morning this railway company gave a
pleasure trip to their servants, accompanied by their
wives and sweethearts, in all to the number of 1,500,
as far as Edinburgh. The train started from Greenock
about half-past five, and arrived in Edinburgh at 20
minutes past 10. On the way they had an addition

which were all beautifully festooned with flowers and
decorated with flags. Having arrived at Edinburgh
each took his several way—some to visit the Castle
and its environs, and others to see the preparations
that were then being made for the teetotal reception
on the following day at the Queen's Parks, net for-
getting to ascend the lamed Arthur's Seat, and
obtsin a drink of pure water from St. Anthony's
well. Miny others msde still further pie-
gress by tusking exit from the romantic c_ty,
visiting fladrlington, D deeith, Lasswade,
Portobello, and Newhaven, thence to Bruntis
land. Ooe p arty, at least, traversed the whole of this
g ound, and returned again to Greenokk the samv
evening—so MUCCI ter railway travelling now- a-

again crowded by the vbitors, and before six (tie hour

rived, a tew were ra7htr hind We were pleased to
see the gre it good huineur that wa, displayed tbroudi-
out the whole day. The immense train having
reached Carstairs Junction, a vacation of ten minute•
was allowed for recreation, where there was a good
demand for lemonade and not a little for the "ardent,"
but the place being " teetotal" they could find none
to quench the unebating thirst. It was rather amu-
sing to see the many tumblers of water that were
fetched by the more gallant to their fair partners,
more especially being met by some who wished to
share the spoil before reaching the destined aqua-
drinkers. The train then moved off and reached
Greenock at half-past ten P.m., and we are sure all
were delighted with their day's excursion, and at the
same time thankful to the Caledonian Railway Com-
ps ny, and to the management of Mr. Symington and
his assistants, for the kindness of the one and the care
of the latter. Such excursions as this cannot but be
conducive to the interest of the company, by creating
a good feeling between employers and employed.—

CUU3T' OF CHANCERY AND JUDICIAL COM-

mr r ITE BILI 4.
The Nisictiis of LANSDOWNE moved the first
reading of oti. Bill
Lard BROUGHAM 4aid his Noble Friend had
moved the first reading of this 8,11, which, raceording to
the praerie. of their Llrd.bips' House with regard to
Bibs brous,ht up from th... C ,mmons. would otherwi*e
have b-en real a fir,t time without remark, in order t,,

vivo him au opporiunity of saving a few words on this
Bill, and of ad iressing their Lordships for the last time
tnis session. He entirely approved of this Bill, out lhe
,itsoge to which he wi...hed to aivert was with respect
to that branch of the Bill which referred to the adminis-
tration of justice in the appells.ce tribunal of the Ju iicial
C immittee of the Privy Council. The first quegiou to
be caretully considered wad whether the quorum ought
to be reduced ,rum four judges to three. His opinion
was that tour was the bast number, and the experience
of Westminster-hall was atm gly and clearly in faveur
of four judges in preference to three. Toe reason wss,
that on all occwitons of dtff r, nee yon had the greet
authority of a tnlj rity of three to one in favour of
the judgtntnt of the Court, and it such a maj rit)
Wkl% ('Sietitial to the courts of the first instance, hoA

much more necessary it was to give effect to the deci-
eiens of an appellate jurisdiction, decieing in the last re-
sort the meat important questions, aid which decteions
nothing short of an Act of Parliament could over urn.
He agreed in the propiiety of a change in the presi
dency of this b .dy. The president of such a body
should be answerable for the regulatien of the procee d-
ings, fir the attendance of the members of the court, and
the- distribution of its business, duties which a lay pre-
sid-ut could not well undertake. Tne propriety of ap
pointing such a president was admitted 18 years age,
when it was proposed by him. It it were said that there
was some iteconvenierm • in four judees being eqaella
divided in opinion, he had only to reply that during ihe
lest 18 sears the judges had only divided two and two
upon one occasion, and the incouvenience was ea-sly re-
moved by calling in one teller member. dhe appoint-
ment of a vice-president of the court had been recom-
mended, and he thought well of it. There were other
parts of the Bill of which he approved, and he re-
' garded the measure altogether as a step—not a grew
or a long step, but still a step—in the right di-
rection. He ought to add that one want still
remained to be supplied. No provision was
made in this Bill to supply another very ma-
terial defect in the appelette jurisdiction, in Cis, s whicn
rarely occurred, but which had occurred, and which
were likely to be of more frequent occurrence, namely,
cases involving spiritual questions of a highly imeortaut
nature, of an exceedingly difficult nature, and which very
often, with reverence be it spoken, were of an exceed-
ingly obscure nature. They of the Judicial Committee
were admirably adapted to deal with the common law,
with questions of colonial law, with cases from the Cou-
sistorial Court, and embracing the learning of the civil
law. It was a tribunal well adapted to deal with ques-
tions of evidence, whether that which was deserviii of
the name, the evidence taken at common law, or that
which passed under the name, which was taken, or
which appeared to be taken, in courts of another descrip•
time. But with regard to those other matters which his
Noble Friend the Lord High Commissioner of the Ge-
neral Assembly of the Church of .ecte land, who d sred to
hold au ep;scopelien conversation during the non-sitting
of the sesaiou—(Lord Belhaven was at this moment
conversing with a Right Rev. Prelate)—weuld admit
were spiritually diffi ul' questi ns, the Judicial Com-
mittee had a confused authority, and his brethren
had auth,brised ham to confess that with those
subjects they felt themselves wholly unfitted to deal.
Upon this class of subjects they deeiderelee control.
Th• y did not wan, to he dictated to. but they wished to
have what it was right they eheuld have, tie aid, the
ins stiatble nvfit of the assistance of leer•e•l men in
that brench of the law. Th., present measure, then, was a
step—but not a stride, not a loug step—in the right direc-
tt- ; but if any man thought that this or any other striae,
turat alteration in the Court of Chancery—if any man
dreamed that such a measure !ale the axe to the root of
the greetest and most grievous of the mauy crying evils
thet eflileted the subjects of this ceuutry, net the judges
or the practitioners, but the unhappy suitors ef the
court, altheugh he attinitt,sri that it would, nevertheless,
do jusnice co the suitor, and enable him to obtain that
which he had a right to obtain at a reasonable cost tit
money, of trouble, and of time—if any dreamer, he
rep wed, belie ve d thst any structural alteratien of
the Court of Chancery would do all tenet was wanted,
such a dreamer was in a tool's paradise, and eould
awaken in the rnornieg to a sad reality that would belie
all that he had homed in his slumbers. It would
alarm their Lordships to hear the preoss that hart been
bremeht before the Committee as to the state of things
in all the courts of equ ty and in all the branches of
those courts. Tneir L adahipe had victims amoug them-
selves, and he saw a Noble Friend of his who went into
Chancery for a debt of 500/., and who had the misfits.-
tune to deal with a somewhat insolvent party and his
professional adviser. 1,2001 was the cost of obtainit.g
that 5001. His Noble Friend had succeeded. and fe
might believe him he ought to consider it very ohe -p.—
(Rear, and a laugh.) At any rate, his Noble Frtehd
would have been 7001. better off if he heed left alone his
5001 and made up his mind to its loss. But nineteen-
tw ntieths of the cases were not those of °attested debts
for 5001., but cases where parties were perr•ctly ready
to win I them up and arming• them tett bout going
into the Court of Chancery. One case of infancy had
lasted four years. The estate was of mo terate amount,
the income being 155/. in stock. The infant was placed
out, order"' were made, c insiderahle expenses were
incurred, and 681. 4s. was the cost that the estate bad
to pay in order to get the infant's own money laid out
for the inifani's own use and benefie The deduc-
tion of 7ul. a-year from the income of the in•
fent was incurred for orders of Court where there
was ao contest or oiepute whatever.—(Hear, bear.) In
another case, where a simple contract debt was claimed
against the estate, costs amounting to 1,2001. or 1,5001.
were incurred on one side, and, in all, costs to the
amount of 3,0001. were incurred to recover 1,0001. In
the case to which he alluded the suitor was a gentleman
residing in India. In July, 1840, his case was before the
Rolls; in 1851, when he came over to ask areter his
cause, he was told it was still undecided, and that it was
before the Rolls again, where he had left it 11 years ago.
This gentleman was mon eover told that he had tour or
five years more to wait. It might be expected that this
gentleman would say that in India they had the cobra
capella. the jungle fever, the tiger, and various other
evils and dangers, but that at least they had not a court
which he (Lord Brougham) dared not to haap
laugh.) Toe taxing-twister, Mr. Follett, had a case be-
fore tam in which 901. costs were incu'red in deciding
whether lot. shoule be laid out in repairing a necessary

H--
wished fur no rash and imprudent changes. He tied
constantly maintained that to make rem• in wholesome
it must be safe, and that reforms of the law, to bee safe,
must be left in the hands of skilful and well-informed
teen, without suff•ring the rule and the ignorant to in-
terfere. But in proportion as that reform wets deiaved
which was wanted and, indeed, exigently required. 0
their Lordships should no Lougee do their duty in ad-
neinuiteritig relief where it might safely be) given, then
he said that the result would be inevitaole, that the good
would be swept away with the bad, and that (as he
once before said), taevine the good and the bed swept
away together, the jurisprudence and the judicature of
the country would be put in a state and reduced to a
condition of ruia such as to affird a sad spectacle of the
vanity of human plans and the instability of institutions,
and to supply a wholesome warning t e those who, from
a tear of granting moderate and safe reform, exposed
their Lordships to the dangers of a violent revoladon.
—(Hear, hear.) Ile trusted that, instead of stopping
at this measure, the other Houle would adopt the valua-
ble measures sent down from that Rouse, aad particu-
larly one of the most important meaeares that bad ever
passed through Parliament—he meant the County
Courts Extension Bill, to which might be aided the Law
of Evidence Bill. If these Bills were adopted by the
wisdom of the other House of Parliament, they would
greatly diminish the evils of the present system. To
those measures might be added a reform to which
the public mind was beginning to be directed,
and which had the sanction of home of the most learned
men, via., the adoption, as far as possible, of the com-
bination of the two systems of equity and law, by what
what was called, after the experience elsewhere obtained
of its working, " the fusion of the two branches of the
system." He hoped that those who were younger would
have the happiness of seeing this among others of the
greatest improvements in jurisprudence adopted, so that
they might at length say that a real and effectual pro•
greys had been made tewards the amendment of the law.

HORFIELI) SI.ANOR ESTATE.
The Bishop of OXFORD moved that copies of the
correspondence touching the Horfield Manor Estate be-
tween the Copy hold Cowtaiasioners and the Eccle-
aiaetical Commissiocere, be laid on the table. He
moved for these papers on behalf of an absent
orother, who had, as he believed, been most grievously
misrepresented in regard to this matter'. He should
assume that every misstatement which had been made
nad been accidental, and that the parties making them
had been actuated by the purest motives. It had
been charged that his Right Rev. Friend, when he
had succeeded to the diocese of Bristol, was
morally and equitably bound to deal differently
with the maaor of Hertield from any other part of the
property of his diocese, that he had sought to make a
oargain with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, a bargain
which had been prevented by the intervention of a Mem-
ber of the other House of Parliament. Now, he would
show that the Bishop of Gloucester received the estate
of Horfield manor upon precisely the same conditions on
which he received every other portion of the property of
the see of Bristol. He had done with that property
what the Legislature intended he should do with every
portion of the property of the see. He had entered into
negotiations with the Commissioners for the purpose of
carrying out some singularly liberal views with respect
to the Church to which he belonged. The Right Rev.
Prelate had taken such steps as he thought best calcu-
lated to forward those views, but he would not now state
what they were, lest it might be supposed he had been
forced by the clamour which had been so unjustly raised
against him, and not by his own free will. The state•
(tient against him was, first, that because his predeces-
sors bad refused to renew the lease in order that the
,state might tall into the Church, his Right Rev. FrieA
and itiflieted injury by dicing so.. For his pare he (i.he
rieshop of Oxtord) never knew a case in which every
cep of the preceeoings had seen so end', 1, misrepre-
sented, and in which irut'i had been so mixed up with
falsetioeit. Now one predecessor of his Right Rev.
Friend, namely, Biehup Grey, had been negotiating with
.ne lessee for a new lease when he died. It heel
been alleged that Bishop Allan, the next in succession,
'lad given a pledge to Lord Melbourne that he
eould net renew; yet the feet was that Lord
'Kilbourne had let it entirely in his own di.cre.
ton, and he, too, bad been about renewing when
he was transferred to the see of Ely. 1.. the
..:omanttee on Ecclesiastical Leases tt hal been proved
that such tenures as that of Ilecfleid were very injurious,
In 1842 it had been tutu-ure d that, the biship was at.. ut

.leimmiesioners. Y..) such coirev,,cdenee. ialtheugt.
+erne of it had been quoted, had ever taken place.—
(Hear.) In 1847, when some new scheme bad been
-vaned by the Commissioners as to the charges which
ought to be levied on certain seese it had been thought
that the united oiocese of Gloucester and Bristol ought
to bear a larger charge; and it was intended to add the
Horfield Manor estate to the episcopal twirl, after the
present bishop should be removed. Tu that he had ob •
jected as being unjust to his successor, and some negu-
iations took place between him end tee
commissioners, with the view of entering upon sone ar-
rangement relative to the property. Toe be-hop had
considered that the peculiar holding of that esta e wos
a most injurious tenure to the Church, inasmuch as it
prevented the possibility of improvement. He had never
intended to renew the lease on the same terms upon
which it had been originally granted, but never enter-
tained the idea of not granting some kind of a lease
Che Right Reverend Prelate here referred to and
read some extracts from letters from the Bishop
ef Gloucester to the Commissioners, in which his heo
stated that be treated the imputation of renewing the
tease "as heretofore" esith con empt. Another accusa-
tion was that in 1848 the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
having desired their secreteret to remind the bishop of
els moral obligation not to renew the lease, the bishop
answered that he knew nothing of any moral übligat ou
on the subject, but that he had a legal right, which he
would not alienate except for 11,5004 Now not oely
was no letter of the kind alluded to written by the secre-
tary, but the bishop himself, in February, 1848, opened
a negotiation with the Commissioners, and offered to
part with his interest to them. That proposal was re-
ferred to a Select Committee, of which Sir J. Graham
was the chairman. They entertained the proposal, and
a communication was made to the bishop announcing to
him that the proposal had been laid before the Finance
Committee, and that they had expressed an opinion of
the liberality of the offer.—(Hear.) The negotiation
went on. It had been asserted that the Commissioners
endeavoured privately to transfer the estate to themselves,
but that when the deed of transfer had been transmitted
the solicitor refused to be party to the affair. The fact
was that the Commissioners having satisfied themselves

droppleg of the last life the bishop had reo.-w d the

Now if his Right Rev, Friend had evaded the law, by
telling it to a accord party, in a way to allow nee .o
eeenstorm it into a lease fur three lives, the,e he would
(lave done the thing with which he nad nee . charged;
but. to prevent that, he had put the name of his secre-
tary in the lease, retaining in his own heeds f ill p ewer
to carry on those improvements which from the first it
nad been his object to etre-et, and had already I aid out a
!ergo sum in enfranchising the oopyhold. In erd, r
avoid any reproach of grasping at income, he gave up
his legal claim to what he held in commendam to an
amount equal to what he retained. (fi .er.) Oe this
point is had been remarked that what be held in corn
mendam was only for his own life, and that it would eat
benefit his children to the same extent as the renewal
if the lease. The terms which his R.ght Res, Friend
had stipulated for in his negotiation with the Commt,-
sioners was 11,5001., and he had accidently learn-el the
way in which he proposed to apply that amount. It
appeared that he had engaged to advance a sum of
5,000/. for the erection of a college at Wistol, provided
it were repaid to his children. Circumeances oc
curred which rendered it problematical whether his
children would receive it, and in cites they die not h
proposed that of the 11 5001. the sum of 5,0001. should
go to his family, and 6 soul. to endow small livings in
•he diocese of Bristol.—(dear.) Such was the answer
he had to make to the charges brought against his Right
Rev Friend. In a letter which his Right Rev. Friend
had written to him he stated that under present circum-
stances he should not enter upon any promise or engage-
ment with respect to his particular views and intentions
on this subject. " These, said his Right Rev. Friend,
" must be inferred from what I have already don..
Spectenturogendo. True, I have ulterior views; but I
will not at present make any engagement with regard to
them; for if I were to do so it would be attributed to
fear of him who, per fas et nefas, is determined to de-
