LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1856.

" The compromise" has been quietly shelved.
The Atpellate Jurkidiction Bill has, thanks to the
independent raemberri of the House of Commons,
been got rid of for the present session, and there
is every reason to hope that, when next it makes
its appearance, it will be in a greatly improved
form—one better suited to the real exigencies of
the case and the wants and wishes of the people.
The more closely we consider the meter in all its
details the more' earnest becomes our opposition
to "the miserable • measure," which appears to
have been solely framed for the purpoie of grati
fying aristocratic • prejudices, and retaining the
shadow of a jurisdiction, the substance whereof
had long since passed away, if it ever had any
real existence. It must be obvious to any im-
partial observer that the idea of the House of
Lords being the Court of ultimate appeal is a
palpable mockery and delusion--that it is a sham
of the most transparent character, which, in place
of adding to the dignity and importance- of the
body, materially derogates therefrom.
,'what can
be the opinions either of appellant or respondent
when he sees a noble " dummy," whose coin.
pulsory attendance is regarded as a bore of no
ordinary magnitude, striving to divert his atten-
tion from the real business of the day, awl not
'even listening to arguments' which !tlr'unlaappy
litigant considers of vital imkortance, and on
which his future happinew may depend. He
thinks of the enormous costs to which
he has been subjected in order to obtain
that hearing ; and whatever may be the result, a
bitterness of feeling is engendered, which cannot
easily be got rid of. Such a proceeding is, be-
yond anything, calculated to bring the majesty of
the law into contempt and disrepute, and to ren-
der every suitor discontented and querulous.
It was, indeed, highly ridiculous to suppose
that a question of such magnitude could be dis-
posed of withou khan inquiry and calm deliberation,
at the fag end of the session. Their Lordshils
have not showan themselves very willing to listen
to the oneatum ex necessitate," or to consi-
der that, because a grievance had been esta-
blished, a remedy, or quasi remedy, should
forthwith be proVided.. They have unsparingly
exercised the privilege of rejecting the best-
devised measures transmitted from the co-ordinate

branch of the Legislature, and should not feel

surprise or annoyance if they receive "tit' for
tat," or that a Commoner Roland be pitted

against the Noble Oliver. The matter was one
that required mature deliberation and ample
discussion, and-if the Lower House had taken it
on trust, and given a hasty and reckless sanction,
it would have' been guilty of an abdication
of its constitutional functions, and proved itself
unworthy of the.position which it occupies in the
State machine.

The wisdom and policTpf a complete separation
of the judicial and political characters has long
been recognised— The rit,:crnified 4W' -venerable
Judges of the superior Coiirts Cflquityand Com-
mon Law have, '
with a single eimeptioui :been ex-
cluded from the House of Commons, The County
Court Judges ha,ve- been subjected to a similar

regulation. Tho 'louse of Lorth, however, claims

not only a direct exemption from the salutary
rule, but acts in direct opposition thereto,
and by its clainkrauklers it essential that a Judge
