never have voted compensation to the prootors if the
court was not to have been thrown open. Instead of
that they found the court was only partially thrown open,
And he objected to the construction put upon the de-
cision of the house by the rules that had been laid down
,elative to contentious and non-contentious business.
Mr. MALINS said he moved the introduction of the
3ompensation clause, and wbat he then stated would be
tie effect of this bill had been realised. The business

f the proctors, as a body, had been utterly destroyed,
nd that showed the justice of compensation. He did
,ot think the amount of compensation to be giver,
ould be so great as 300 000/ . as had been seated, but
-mild be found not to exceed 80,000/., or 100 0001., as
e stated when the clause was tinder discussion.

Sir R. BETHELL—I think that is pretty well.
(Laughter.)
Mr. MALINS—Yes, it is. The hon. and learned
entleman said the clause relative to throwing open the
;ourt of Admiralty was struck out of the bill on the
uggeetion of a learned judge, who considered it would
ie inoperative unles-i machinery were first provided to
nears the proper discharge of the bueiuess.
The subject then dropped.
Mr. J. LOCKE called the attention of the house to
he recent appointment of Justices of the Peace for the
.;',ty of Canterbury ; and asked the Secretary cf State
or the Home Department, whether Mr. John Pout had
,een appointed one of such Justices, and whether he
vas the person mentioned in Schedules C and F of the
teport of the Commissioners appointed to inquire
uto the existence of corrupt practices at the elec-
ion of Members to serve in Parliament for that
lity in the year 1852, and at previous elections.
l'ne hon. arid learned gentleman read the headings
of
,he two schedules—one was " a list of persons who
,ave given money to voters to give their votes" for
ne Conservative candidates, in 1852, and the other
,as a list of persons who bad given money to voters in
le election of 1847, to vote for a certain candida,e
f a. Canterbury. In both these schedules Mr. John Pout
.as "ticketed," and it was an extraordinary tug
,hat the Lord Chancellor should have appointed a per
on so ticketed as a justice of the peace. Oely conceive
chat a state c f things would be presented in Canter
airy, if at a future time an election took place ther,
nd voters were bribed ? If the briber were brought
.efore Mr. John Pout, only conceive his situation.
,Laughter ) The briber iu such a case might object
o the jurisdiction of that magistrate, and who
vas to blame for such a thing ? Why, the
r„,ord Chancellor, who made such appointments. He
,Mr. J. Locke) condemned political appointments,
oath reference to the bench. In the list of bribers in
852 he found the name of Mr. Thomas White Collard,
'rid that gentleman had recently been appointed a ma-
:istrate. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE denied that the Lord Chancellor was
actuated by political feelings in making his appointments.
(le appointment of magistrates for Canterbury
sere made on the recommendation of the in-
iabitante. The Lord Chancellor at that time did not
:now that Mr. Pout's name was in the schedule of the
.ommissionere, but as soon as the Lord Chancellor's w-
ention was directed to Mr. Pout's name by the notice
n the paper, he referred to the schedules and
hen found Mr. Pout's and Mr. C)llard's names
here. Immediately on making the di..covery, the noble
od learned lord sent down to Canterbury to say that he
,hould expect these gentlemen to resign. (Cheers.) No
,newer had been returned when he (slr. Walpole)
ntered the house ; but he had every reason to believe
be resignations would be Pent in. If the resignations
)e not sent in, the Lord Chancellor, he had no doubt,
could take steps to render the administration of
justice pure in that borough. The right hon. gentle-
ran defended the conduct of the Lord Chancellor from
[raking political appointments, and read a list of atagis-
eates for a number of b ,roughs, in which the majority
Nere Liberals, and his appointments had only had a ten-
lency to bring hack the balance of parties. (Hear.)
Mr. J. BRIGHT said the list just read only went to
cow that the present Lord Chancellor was following
n the footsteps of his predecessor—(cheers, and no,
,e)—and was endeavourintr to balance accounts.
,Hear, hear, and laughter.) He condemned the present
&lode of appointing magistrr.tes. On every occasion
vhen there was a change of Mini,try there wa+ a
.crarnbled to put men on the bench to balance, as it was
,ailed, political parties, and, in consequence, unfit men
fren got on the 13,ncb_..„ (Elear, hear.)
