THORNE V. LIPMAN.

Mr. Roy said this was a case in which he had purchased
a business, with all debts and liabilities. Defendant had
paid witness various sums of money, and his authority had
never been disputed.
His Honour—You must produce Thorne's authority to
sue. Supposing some person was to find out that.Robjohit
or Thorne had a dozen debtors in Gresham-street, it would
be a very comfortable thing for him to sue and recover in
this court.

CORPORATION OF LONDON REFORM BILL.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES gave notice that on the second
reading of this bill he would move that any bill which did
not embody the recommendation of the commission of 1854
would be an incomplete measure.

Mr. K. SEYMER asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to adopt so much of the site of
Smithfield market as reverts to the Crown for the enjoy.
ment and recreation of the public.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had seen the correspon-
dence which had taken place between Government and the
city in reference to the subject, and the latter was ready to
meet the Government in carrying out the object alluded to
by the hon. member.
FE WEE ISLANDS.

PRIVATE BILLS.
Lord REDE SDALE moved that no private bills brought
from the House of Commons shall be read a second time
after Tuesday, the 2d of August.—Agreed to.
DIVORCE COURT BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill, which proposed that all the puisne
judges should become members of the court and take it
in turns to sit with the Judge Ordinary, and form what was
termed full courts more frequently, by which means, he
trusted, the arrears of business would be expeditiously dis-
posed of. The bill further proposed that when the learned
judge thought proper the court might sit with closed doors,
as some of the cases that were heard there were totally unfit
for the public,. and could only tend to demoralisation.
Another provision was that, where necessary, the assistance
of the Attorney-General should be called in, and thus exer-
cise some control in certain cases.
Lord BROUGHAM supported the bill.
Lord CHELMSFORD was opposed to the bill. He
thought a separate number of new judges should
be appointed, as the time of the judges of the superior
courts was already fully occupied.
Lord CRAW WORTH said he paid great attention to the
proceedings of the court in question, and he must say that
they had not attained that celebrity which he thought was
desirable. He did not think the plan proposed would meet
the evil which at present existed, but he quite agreed that
the course recommended by the bill was the right one to be
pursued in the first instance. He thought that one mode
of meeting one of the evils complained of, was by granting
a decree nisi in the first iestance.
Lord REDESDALE said he did not purpose to object
to this bill, but he denied that the proceedings of the
Divorce Court could be said to assimilate to the course
which had been pursued by their lordships in divorce cases.
He thought that in all cases of a judicial separation of mar-
riages, the proceedings should be made as public as possible.
The Earl of WICKLOW said he could not understand
why it was that the House of Commons struck out the
clause which was inserted in the bill when it went before
that house, by which its provisions were to be extended to
Ireland and the colonies. It was said that a separate act
on this subject should be passed for Ireland, but he, for one,
wished that laws which were passed for the social improve-
ment of this country should be extended to Ireland.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE concurred in the view
of his noble friend who had last addressed their lordships.
The object of this measure was to extend relief to the
middle and lower elasses, and therefore they ought to be
careful of increasing the expense. He did hope that the
noble and learned lord would consider this point.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to say a few
words on extending this act to Ireland. They were in such
a position that they must legislate for Ireland. He depre-
cated the establishment of any tribunal in that country. If
any change was to take place there, it should be done as
quietly as possible. He recommended the introduction of
one or two clauses, to put an end to actions of crim. con.
in Ireland, and to give relief through the courts of this
country.
Lord DUNGANNON thought the public morals had
not been improved by the publication of the reports of this
court. He was of opinion that a gross act of injustice
would be done to Ireland unless they had the benefits and
conveniences intended to be conferred by this bill.
Lord TEYNHAM thought that the expense of the pro-
cedure should be diminished as much as possible. He
should support the second reading.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he could have no
possible objection to, introducing a clause or clauses extend-
ing the benefits of this measure to Ireland, and if any noble
lord would take the responsibility of proposing such clauses
he would make no objection whatever. In fact, he had
himself prepared an amendment for that purpose, but he
had been induced to give it up by the strong representations
of persons connected with Ireland. In certain cases he
thought the Divorce Court should sit with closed doors,
and then there would be no violation of public decency.
The bill was read a second time.
THE ATTORNEY AND SOLICITORS' BILL.

A motion of Mr. ADDERLEY, for a copy of any cor-
respondence which may have passed on the subject of the
assumption by her Majesty of the sovereignty of the Feegee
islands, was agreed to.
APSLEY HOUSE.

The report of amendments on this bill was brought up
and received.

PUBLIC HEALTH BILL

----
On the motion of the Earl of GRANVILLE this bill
was read a second time.

Lord DUNGANNON presented a petition from the
clergy of Buckingham against any alteration in the present
marriage law which might legalise marriage with a de-
ceased wife's sister.

In reply to Mr. BRADY,
Sir G. C. LEWIS read a report from the Chief Commis-
sioner of Police, to the effect that the regulations rela-
tive to cabs taking up and letting down passengers oppo-
site the rails of Apsley House had been relaxed. It was
necessary that the greatest care should be taken to prevent
obstructions at, that portion of the thoroughfare in question.

THE HARBOUR OF MALTA.
The Earl of CARNARVON, according to notice, put a
iqanuegsteimoneattoathneaw n
Fir:tdLerordcaonfaidthereaAtiodnmirbalytythaes
Admiralty,
for
theiraltathry-e,
for the redistribution of the harbours of Malta, an
better naval protection of the town. Considerable dissen-
sion had arisen between the navy and the merchant service
in consequence of the want of accommodation, and the in-
crease both in the number of war vessels and mercnant
shipping requiring the use of the port. In fact, the pre-
sent arrangements were quite beneath the necessary re-
quirements
of the fleet and our mercantile marine. The
late Govo nment had a plan before them, when they went
out of office, by which, at an expense of about £70,000, this
defect would have been supplied, by converting a morass at
one end of the existing harbours into a harbour for mer-
chant shipping. He wished to know whether the noble
duke intended to carry out that plan? He did not say that
at this period he would ask that the sum named should be
introduced in a supplemental vote, but looking at the
pressing necessity of the case with reference to the wants
of our own marine, he begged to urge the completion of
some such plan at the earliest possible moment. With re •
spect to the latter part of his question which had reference
to the better protection, it was desirable under the present
state of affairs that as little should be said on such subjects as
possible. He would therefore simply confine himself to the
statement that the fortifications and defences of Malta were
not in that satisfactory state which they ought to be, see-
ing how important a key it constituted for the defence of
our commerce, and the maintenance of our position as a
great maritime power. He knew that the putting of these
fortifications into a proper condition was a question con-
nected with the general subject of the military defences of
the country. He knew also that of late those fortifications
had in some cases been repaired and strengthened, but he was
sure that the noble duke would agree with him, that look-
ing at the extremely important position of Malta, the port
and
without harb
delayours should be put into the most perfect condition
The Duke of SOMERSET said he was impressed with
the importance of the subject to which the noble earl had
called the attention of their lordships. The difficulty in deal- 1
ing with the want of sufficient accommodation for both the
navy and the merchant ships which used the harbours lay
in the fact, that the greater the number of the Mediterra-
nean fleet the larger also was the number of merchant
Ships that frequented the harbours. That was forcibly
shown during the time of the Crimean war, when the
pressure upon the accommodation in the harbours was
very great. He admitted that in that point of view alone,
apart from the other considerations to which the noble earl
had adverted, it was most desirable that some arrange-
ments should be made 'for remedying the admitted defi-
ciencies of those harbours, and he could assure the noble
lord that the Government had the subject under their con-
sideration with a desire to do all that lay in their power for
that purpose. 'With respect to the plans referred to by the
noble earl he would only say that they had been prepared
and sent over here a considerable time ago, and that they
had been in the possession of the late Government for more
than five months. When he came into office he found that,
although the late Government had prepared not only the
ordinary, but the supplemental estimates for the year, they
did not include a vote for the carrying out of those plans.
He did not like, therefore, in the course of a few days, to
incur the responsibility of pressing a question which in.
volved the expenditure of somewhere about £BO,OOO. The
subject required some time, but he would almit that it was
most desirable something should be done with the least
possible delay. He repeated that the question was under
the consideration of the Government, and they would do
all in their power to carry out the objects in view.
Lord STRATFORD de REDCLIFFE was grateful to
the noble duke for the statement that this question was
under the consideration of the Government, but he rose
merely to say that though the question was an urgent and
pressing ono as far as regarded the accommodation to be
given to our own shipping, both naval and mercantile, it
was more important, looking at the present state of affairs
on the Continent, in a military point of view. Malta was
a port associated with historical recollections, to which he
need not refer, but it was sufficiently obvious that the put-
ting of the harbours and the town into the most perfect
state of defence was a question which demanded serious
attention and instant action.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he perhaps could
ans ger the question of his noble friend. He could assure
his noble friend that neither ithe War Office, in the first
place, nor the Admiralty in the second, had neglected this'
matter, and he could further assure his noble friend that
the members of her Majesty's Government were in com-
munication upon the subject, and that no steps should be
neglected in relation to it.
Their lordships then adjourned.
