COUNTY COURTS BILL

Lord BROUGHAM explained that the Bill which he
would present to-morrow was for an extension of the
County Court jurisdiction.
THE VICE-CHANCELLORSHIP.

The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD wished to ask his
Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack. whether
it was intended to appoint a new Vice• Chancellor
in the room of Vice-Chancellor Wigram. He
admitted that when the appointment of two additional
Vice-Chancellors was proposed he had supported that
portion of the measure which prohibited the re-appoint-
ment of the third Vice-Chancellor on the occasion of a
vacancy', but since that time the business in the Court
of Chancery had greatly increased in consequence • e the
immense development which had taken place in the rail-
way system; and he therefore hoped that an Act would
be brought in, authorising the appointment of a third
Vice-Chaticeller.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject had
occupied the anxious attention of the Government.
In the course of next week a Bill for regulating
the Court of Chancery would be presented to Parliament,
and the Government hal been anxious not to fill up the
vacancy until the decision of Parliament should have
been taken on the Bill; but he admitted the necessity of
having for the present further judicial assistance
in the Court of Chancery. The business had
accumulate] in consequence of the facilities
recently given for bringing cases quickly to a
hearing. Since Michaelmas last no less than 500 cases
had been put down for hearing, and he thought that the
Government would find it advisable to introduce a Bill
authorising the appointment of a third Vice Chancellor
without waiting for the larger measure.
Lord CRAM WORTH entirely confirmed all that had
fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend, and wished
to impress upon their Lordships the absolute necessity
of appointing a third Vice-Chancellor with the least
poss:ole delay. The Noble Lord proceeded to describe
the course of proceeding in the Court of Chancery in
various classed of cases, in order to prove the necessity
of the immediate appointment of a new Vice-Chan-
seller. He had been urged to sit evenings as well as
mornings, but he had neither mental or physical strength
to do it.

Lord STANLEY thought that the measure for th©
appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor, which appeared
urgently necessary, should boy kept distinct from the
other and ILrger measure% Ile wished to know whe-
ther the latter measure would bf, introduced into this or
into the other House of Parliament. He thought it
should tin introduced into this House rather than into
the House of Coniroons.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was not at the present
moment prep,red to reply to the cpiestion.
Lord BROUGHAU was well E. titistif.cl with the expla-
nations he had klicited from his Noble and Learned
Friend.
