INPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING )

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at Foe o'clock.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
Lord LYNDHURST understood that the Bill intro-
duced into the other Hens° by the Prime Minister had
been abandoned, and that a new 13i11 (with the drawn*
up of which he hoped his Noble end Learned Friend
on the Woolsack had hal more to do than he had
had with the former Bill) was about to be intro-
duced. In the last session a Bill for the Reform
of the Court of Chancery in Ireland had been intro-
duced by the presi-nt Master of the Rolls ; thir Bill
had passed into a law and the result had been most
satisfactory. In consequence of that Bill 694 petitions
had been presented and only twenty-nine, bills had been
filed for proceeding in what bad previously been the
ordinary mode. That wits eati•f,,ctory so far as regarded
plaintiffs, and as regarded defendants not one had pe-
tinned to proceed by bill instead of petition. The law
officers in Ireland bad testified to the admirable working
of this Act, and be hoped his Noblo and Learned Friend
would consider these facts; and he had been assured that
at the conclusion of this terra there would not be one of
these 694 petitions on which a decree would not have
been pronounced. He commended these facts to the at-
tentive consideration of his Neble and Learned Friend.
The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that the Bill
now in the hands of the Prime Minister would meet the
expectations of his Noble and Learned Friend. He
could well understand that all matters now brought
forward by bill might bo brought forward by
petition, but he did not think that would materially
aid the administration of justice. His Noble and
Learned Fria nd had said that upwards of 400 noses bad
been disposed of, and be should have been glad if an
equal number of cases in this c eintry. Counsel would
have ceased speaking. He thought that such an entire
alteration in the administration of justice should be
adopted with caution; he would make inquiry into the
subject, and was obliged to his Noble and Learned Friend
tor having drawn his attention to the matter; and would
bo at all times happy to receive any suggestions from his
Noble and Learned Friend, on a subject which ho so
well understood as the administration of justice in the
Court of Chancery.
CRIMINAL LAW.

Lord LYNDHURST wished to knew what progress
had been made it cam log out the recommendations of
the Commission. ra for the Reform of the Criminal
Law?—(Hear, hear, from Lord Brougham) He wished
to know whether it was intended to act upon the report
of the Commissioners, or to pass it over entirely.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that a tew days
ago his Neible and Learned Friend had, in the way of
ordinary conversation, alludAt to it, but not in the wit)
to impress him with the idea that he intended to allude
to the subject publicly. Ho had no reason to think that
it was the intention of the Government to advance any
more money to prosecute the inquiry.
Lord BROUGHAM. said that, betore Easter, he had
put a nearly similar question, and his Noble and Learned
Friend on the Woolsack had uudertsken to inform him
self on the subject. He had addressed a letter to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject, and
had learned, to his surprize and regret, that it
was not his intention to renew the Commission
He had, three several dunes, brought its a Bill
digesting the criminal law, tied it bad been admitt.e
that the Bill ought to te referred to a newly con-
structed Commission—an pinion in which be entirely
concurred; and he unders:ood it was agreed that
such Commission aheu!d be crested, and th..t the Com-
mission should make a fival examination, and
that to them the propoln I 'bode of cri-
minal procedure should be submitted for final
examin,tion, he was much disappointed when he found
that no such Commission was to be appointed. By this
refusal to renew the Ceminission tt e country vviadd be
deprived of any ben+ fit they might have derived trout
the lsbours of the Criminal Law Cvmmissioeers.
The subject then dropped.
PE fl HONS.

Lord CRANWORTti presented a petition in favour
of the Abt•con=ring Debtors elso a petition horn a
person who held some municipal office, who complained
that he had not been deprived of his iffice (which
would have entitled him to compensltion). but that
he had b•:eu deprived of the proti,a of his office.

poned to the first day after the Whitsuntirbr holidays.

PE UTIONS.
The Earl of ENN.hKILLEN presented numerous
petitions from various places in Ireland against Papal
aggression.
Lord MONTEAGLE reminded their Lordships that
these petitions were not in favour of the Bill before the
other House of Parliament, because in that case they
could not be presented, but against Papal aggression; and
be reminded their Lordabips that the petitions against
the measure could not be presented until the Bill were be.
fore the House; and he declared that there was is strong
feeling in that country against the measure btfore the
other House, or any measure for inkerfering with the
Roman Catholic Hierarchy.
AHRE•4T OF ABSCONDING DEBTORS BILL.
Toe Earl of HARR° WBY moved the second
reading of this Bill, the object of which was to
facilitate the arrest of absconding debtots, by
enabling county court judges to 1811.10 warrant
for the arrest in the same manner as such wars
