a kill to alter ar.,l aT:iEnd the 43-d sectioa of the act
Mb and 20',11 Viet., c. 10S, or take ar-,y other noun:o to
place the m-tato of the law in this respect on a more satis-
lactory footing ?

Mr: WALIE'OLE said hie attention had been called
to the judgmt nt. He thought it would be very unfor-
tunate it the law there laid down was to be maintained
as regarded county-court judg-s. The Lord Chancellor

be introCueed to repeal the 40th sec. of

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the subj- et way
one of great importance, but a: the same titintof very
cousickrable difficulty. It bad for some time engaged
the attention of the Governmeet. No doubt the now
of accommodation billt by traders was as evil of vary
;mat magnitude, Lot at the same time many of
tham were perfectly legititnste, arising out of trans-
actions in which the hou a ought not to u to fire, as for
instance between friends and relatives whkra there was
no intention of frau '. It was now proposed to intro-
duce into tLe new bill fur the amendu.e4 of laws relat-
ing to bankruptcy and in, olvenoy clauses by which any
t-ader using a vornmodation bills, unless they bore on
the face of them the character of accommodati n
would be liable to punishment by the refusal of his oerti-
fica'e or discharge, as the case may be. He thought,
under existing circuunstanoee, that they could not go
further, but ho hoped these provisions would check this
serious pr.etice.
Mr. LOWE asked wLere the bill would be introduce6l
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, the Lord
Ch tnca or would introduce it in the House of Lords.

DESIGNS FOR THE WELLINGTON MONIJ-

MENT.

Mr. COWPER sa'd there was some misapprehension
as to the answer given a few evening's ago on the sub-
ject. He therefore begged to ask the Chief Commis-
t loner of Works whether the intention he lately signified
with respect to the Wellington Motument was to give
(to disregard of the decisicu of the judges) .he preference
to the des,go numbered IR, over the designs which
obtained premiums • or whether he intended to employ
Mr. Stev, ns to make another design more suitable for
erection in tie side chapel of the cathedral, without
aff rling to any other sculptors an opportunity of com-
petition in respect in the tew site I

Lord J. MANNERS complained tlat as the form of
the right hon. gentleinaL's question would give rise to
au erroneous impression as to what he really did say
it sva.i hi, int mtion to give the preference to a design
which had not ob'ained a premium ; on the contrary,
he said he thought that under all the circumstances he
was restricted to those which bad, and the design he had
setec'ed was ooe f those, As to the second part of the
que.tinn, he did not think it neceii.ary to have a second
comp-tion ; he believed the deign selected could be
adapted to the new site, and farm a monument worthy
of the grist man it was intended to commemorate and
of the ai•e.
