THE ISLAND OF JERSEY.
Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to carry out the recommen-
dations of the commissioners, appointed in 1846, for the
reform of the criminal laws of the island of Jersey,
and to abolish the Royal Court in that islanj,
which the said commissioners, in said year, declared
not to be deserving of public confidence : Whethfr
it was their intention to issue a commission of in-
quiry into the civil laws of Jersey and the mode of ad-
ministering them, in accordance with the declared inten-

the then Horne Secretary; or whether it was their in-

Jersey to the laws of England ?
Mr. WALPOLE said the attention of the Secretary
of State had been, and always would be, called to many
great and grievous defects in the law a JtrLey, and steps
would be taken for their improvement. An order in
council had failed to enforce the recommendation of the
clmmissiontre, and the only way in which it could b..,
done would be by an act of Parliament, which, in all
probabilty, would be to bring the hou,s into co:lision
with the states of Jersey, which was not desiraLle.

act, and if it was contemplated to enable persons who had
