Petitions were presented against the Medical Relief Bill,
against the Wine Licenses Bill, against the Jews Amend-
ment Act, in favour of the Coal Mines Regulation Inspec-
tion, from members of aWesleyan Congregation at Norwich
against the Church Rates Bill, &c.
REFORM BILL.
Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on going into commit-
tee on the Representation of the Peoples' Bill, he would
move that all persons of full age occupying lodging or por-
tions of a house in boroughs for which they paid £l2 a
year, and those holding tenements for which they paid £2O
a year, should be entitled to be placed on the register of
voters, provided they occupied the same for twelve calendar
months.

LAW OF PROPERTY BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill, which
came from the Lords,

Mr. HADFIELD complained that by the existing
statutes law courts imposed restrictions upon the invest-
ments of trustees, by which they were required to invest the
trust funds in such annuities as Consols, while there were
other investments equally safe, and which would yield large
annuities. That was a state of things which necessarily
operated most unjustly in regard to those possessed of pro-
perty, and he referred to certain cases to show the extent of
that injurious operation. He thought therefore that a
clause extending the power of trustees with respect to in-
vestments should be introduced into the bill.
The house then went into committee.
On ekuse 1, _

Mr. HODOKINSON considered that in the case of
maltsters injustice was inflicted. If a person became se-
curity for a person engaged in that business, his security
was immediately registered and made a mortgage on his
property, which was a great hardship. He had personal
experience of this matter, and he suggested certain altera-
tions in the clause that would remedy the evil of which he
complained. The present state of the law between a bonds-
man and the Crown was most unsatisfactory.
Mr. WALPOLE objected to the amendment, on the
ground that Crown debtors stood in an exceptional position.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said this matter concerned the departs
wont of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he was not
competent to give an opinion on it. He considered the best
eourse to adopt would be to postpone the consideration of
the clause.

After some remarks from Sir F. KELLY and Sir F.
GOLDSMID, _ _

Mr. BOLT strongly objected to the clause as going to
the extent of sweeping away all registered judgment secu-
rities on land, and debtors, to prevent an immediate execu-
tion, must effect a mortgage deed. The fact was that a
registered judgment was now an equitable mortgage upon
land; obtainable by a cheap and simple process, which, he
contended, was valuablq alike to debtor and creditor.
Mr. WHITESIDE said that there was no principle of
law which made a registered judgment a lien on property.
He alluded to cases in Ireland, in which the adoption of this
practice proved ruinous to creditors. Under the circum-
stances, he would cordially support the clause.
Mr. LONGFIELD considered that the clause should be
postponed, as the subject to which it referred was too large
and important to be dealt with in the summary manner
proposed.
After some further discussion, the amendment was with-
drawn.

Mr. HADFIELD moved as an amendment, to insert in
page 1, clause 1, line 12, after " recognisance," " to be en-
tered up after the passing of the present act," the object
of which was to prevent the bill having a retropective
operation.

Mr. WALPOLE followed on the same side, and con-
td tshhaotultdhebeeffmecatdeof
foci,
dmgemn de
ne n't
es' fortbt ;lean t byeyears that
before there could be a sale of landed property. He thought
there might be exceptions to the amendment, but not of the
character already urged, and he considered the bill, pro
tante as a step in the right direction.
Mr. BARROW said that the expense of making searches
for these judgments was so great, and he spoke from per-
sonal experience, that the effect was that they were not
made in the case of small freeholderv. This clause, to a
certain extent, afforded security with reference to the pur-
chaser of freehold property, and, therefore, he would give
it his support.
Mr. ROLT considered that the amendment of the hon.
member for Sheffield should pass with the clause.
Mr. DEASEY opposed the clause, as not affording the
necessary facilities for effecting the sale and transfer of land
it promised, and being calculated to cause great inconvenience
to landed owners against whom judgments were obtained.
Mr. MURRAY thought the clause should be postponed,
until the hon. member who had care of the bill had a con-
ference with the hon. members who had taken a part in the
debatis,

After a few words from Mr. APMANoN and Mr. HAD-
YIELD;the amendment was negatived.
Sir G. C. LEWIS considered that, in order to give effect
to what was the real object of the bill, namely, facilitating
the sale of land, that the proviso for making searches
within three calendar months should be omitted.
Mr. E. JAMES supported the bill, as its objsst was to
place personal and freehold property in the same position as
related to sale of land.
