HOUSE Oar ,LORDS— (YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR. took his seat .on the woolsack

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition.
from EastWOod,-in Nottinghamshire, praying for the ad
'mission of the"-Bible into schools in •
ALTERA.TION OF. TUE LITURGY._ _

Lord E BURY "gave notice: that on the. Bth of May he
would. call the attention of their lOrdShipslci this subject:

BRITISH SUBJECTS IN LEGHORN.

The Earl of MA.IAIESBURY asked the noble lord th

Uncle/ Secretarrfor Foreign Affairs if' he could give their
lordships any information relative to the 'compeusation of
British subjects for the injuries they had 'Sustained by the
Tuscan police,.
Lord WO DEHOUSE said it was quite true that an out-
rage had' been committed by the at Leghorn on the
property of. British,subjcots, and it had been agreed that
compensation should be paid to the injured parties. The
parrieshaq l)cen examined by ampdidal g,enldeman appointed
by this country, and he had reported the extent of their in.
juries. The'report had been sent to Florence, but the pre-
sentation, of that report had been delayed by recent events.
He, however, had no doubfbut that the parties would be
amply cOmpenSated by the Tuscan GoVertimeht.
CRIMINAL LAW.
The LORD' CHANCELLOR reminded their lerdships
that they had agreed to the second reading of certain bills
for the Consolidation of the Criminal Law. It was then
referred to select committee, and he now submitted a
number of names of those noble lords wha should form the
'committee.- The list agreed to included the names of Lord
Lyndhurst, Lord St. Leonards,, Lord Wensleydale, Lord
Shaftesbury, Lord Belper, and Lord Carnarvon.
_ THE DIVORCE COURT BILL. _

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of this bill, which was brought in previous to tho Easter
recess; the object of which was to enable the Judge Ordi-
nary of the Court of Divorce to call in the aid of some of
the other judges in order that the business of the court
might be more expeditiously disposed of. The number of
causes had so increased that it was absolutely impossible
without assistance was granted that they could be dispoied of
for a considerable length of time. The bill enabled him, in
cases ofdanbt, to call in one or two of the other judges be-
fore he pronounced final judgment, bat in c:'scss where there
was no doubt he might dispose of tliem without the neces-
sity of forming a full court.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said he hoped if the bill was
read a . second time it would be referred' to a
select committee, composed as nearly, as possible
of thOse noble and learned lords who sat in com-
mittee on the original bill. His thought the house
ought to be very cautious before they conferred upon a
single judge the power of dissolving a marriage. The Judge-
Ordinary
,did not, possess the power at present, because'
before such a decision. could be pronounced, a. full
court, 'consisting of two other judges at least,
had to be formed, • '
Lord LYNDIIURST said that some change was abso-
lutely. necessary. The Divorce Court had been established
a little more than two years, and in that time no• less than
420 causes had- been sot down for hearing. - The Court had
disposed of only 177 out of the number, leaving 232 to be
disposed of. Now, snpposing the court to proceed as rapidly
as i t had done during the time it had been in existence, i t would
take four years to get through the whole of the re-
maining causes, taking no notice of the causes
that wind be entered during that time. The Judge
Ordinary,, it was agreed by all parties, was a person of
great energy ; but was clear that some assistance
must be afforded him. The number of full courts that had
been held during the last two years was only 65, little better
than 30 in each year, a number quite inadequate to transact
the business of the court.
Lord CRANWORTH said he would 'agree that the bill
should be referred to a select committee, if it contained any
new principle, but as it did not, he believed it could not be
materially altered, and if so referred would come out of
committee much in its present shape; and he could not
therefore see the necessity for such a delay as that proposed
by his noble and learned friend.
Lord REDESDALE said he had always been opposed
to making the granting of divorces a common law proceed-
ing, because he believed that marriage would come to be
considered by the great bulk of the people as of far less im-
portance than it was under the old law, and that, in fact,
the respeCt due to the matrimonial tie would be lessened.
The experience in the Divorce Court since its establish •
ment had unfortunately shows that he was right in these
anticipations.
_ .

Earl GRANVILLE thought it was desirable that the
bill should not be referred to a select committee, as it would
only lead td delay. The bill contained no new principle,
and there was therefore no real reason.' for the proposition
of the noble and learned lord opposite..
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR
against referring the bill to a select committee,
The bill was read a second time and ordered to be com-
mitted on Monday next.
