We may state that it is not likely that any Bill for
extending the duration of the Encumbered Estates Commis-
sion will be introduced in the present session of Parliament.
Should such a measure be deemed, hereafter, expedient,
there will be ample time for introducing it iu the next ses-
sion, as the right to present petitions for sales may be exer-
cised up to July, 1852. We may avail ourselves of the pre-
sent opportunity to contradict a report circulated, we under-
stand, very generally amongst the legal profession in Ireland,
that it is intended to transfer the Commissioners' jurisdiction
to the Irish Court of Chancery.
