Hon. Member for Nottingham in his place, he wished to
know if it was his intention to persevere with the Bill this

Mr. DENNISON said he did not intend to press the
Bill in any other shape than it was at present during this
Session. The question was of so much importance to the
counties of England in general, who were so burdened by
the operation of the present law, in which such abuses
existed, that if he did not press the subject in this, he
certainly should in the next Session.

Mr. STRICKLAND was sorry that the Hon. Member
had not stated more distinctly what his intentions were.
He hoped he would state positively that he did not intend
to proceed with the measure in the present session.

undertake to withdraw the measure for the present session.

Sir John Pollock, A. Spiers, and 11. Wallace,-E•q.,
magistrates of Renfrewshire, praying for an inquiry into
the Scotch Law System.
Mr. DUNDAS hoped that the Lord Advocate would
do no such thing as was here asked of him. A Commis-
sion had been appointed by the late Government, and the
Commissioners had reported that the salaries of the law
officers of Scotland were as low paid as possible. It
would only be attended with a great deal of expense to
the public, without in the end doing any good.
Mr. HUME said it might be that the Law Officers
were low paid in Scotland—but the manner in which
business was done in the inferior Courts was such ns to
cause a great deal of unnecessary expense. Even had he
not known this fact from Isis own knowledge, he would
implicitly have believed it upon the word of three gentle-
men who signed the petition, whom he knew to be most
respectable and diligent magistrates.
The HON. GENTLEMAN then presented petitions, prav-
imo; for the abolition of tithes, from the Roman Catholic
siihaliitants of Dungarvon, Donegal, Cullen, and the pa-

tl,thnal-green Union, against taxes on knowledge; from
Manchester, praying that the funds at present at the die-
po•al of the hierarchy in Ireland might be taken to liqui-
.late time national debt, and that tithes might be abolished;
mod from several persons confined for selling unstamped
p4pers, praying the House to take their case into conside-
ration.
