HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 1.

COUNTY COURTS FURTHER EXTENSION BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

The ATTORNEY. G ENERAL moved the following
clause:—And whereas by an Act passed in the tenth
year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled,
it was enacted that no person should be entitled to ap-
pear for any other party to any proceeding in any of
the said courts, " unless he be an attorney of one of
her Majesty's superior courts of record, or a barrister-
at-law instructed by such attorney on behalf of the party,
or by leave of the judge, any other person allowed by
the judge to appear instead of such party, but that no
barrister, attorney, or other person, except by leave
of the judge, should be entitled to be heard
to argue any question as counsel for any
other person in any proceeding in any court
holden under that Act," be it enacted, that the
said provision shall not bo deemed or construed to
apply to any case within the jurisdiction given to the
said courts by this present Act, or by any other Act,
other than the above partly recited Act, and that in all
cases in which jurisdiction is given to the said courts by
the present Act, or by any other Act other than the
above partly recited Act, barristers-at-law and attorneys
shall have and enjoy such rights and privileges as have
been hitherto used and exercised by them respectively
in the superior courts of common law at Westminster.
Mr. FITZROY said, that in its present state, he should
feel bound to oppose the clause.
After some discussion, in which Mr. P. Howard, Mr.
Mullings, and Mr. J. Evans took part,
Mr. WAKLEY moved that the debate on the amend-
ment be postponed, to give time for its further conside-
ration, since if adopted it would introduce an entirely
new feature in the practice of the county courts.
Sir G. PECHELL also recommended the postpone-
ment of the clause.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL professed his readi-
ness to modify the clause to meet the objection which
had been raised against it.
The clause was then agreed to, on the understanding
that it was to be modified.
The 13111 was then ordered to be printed, and recom-
mitted on Tuesday next at 12 o'clock.
The House then resumed.
