ness, civ►l and criminal, of the superior courts of common

bad any expectation that such report may be made in

Sir J. PAKINGTON said the report was nearly
ready, and he was unable to answer the question.

LIFE INSURANCE OFFICES.
Mr. K. SEYMER asked the Secretary to the Trea-
sury whether he intended to name an early day for the

offices
Mr. WILSON said that he had bad a motion on the
Asper for several evenings past for leave to bring in the
bill, but the late hour on which it came on bad pre-
vela-e .
- him from doing so. He would take the earliest
elVertunity of introducing the bill.

was not signed by a county member. He ecau se
to
know why borough members did not possess waded
te e privileges as county members. He claimed for borough privileges as g
members the same rights and
eased by county members. "'ere pea
Lord PA.LMERSTON said that the distinctio
cum_
plained of was not one arbitrarily established by the
Government, or that rested with them to relax,
but it was pursued in consequence of the terms of an
Aot of Parliament, and must be continued until that
act was repealed. He was unable then tc state the
principle on which that distinction was based. So long
as the law remained in its present state it was the duty
of members of that house to obey the law. He saw no
reason why the hon. member should nut introduce a bill
to repeal this act.
THE REVIEW IN HYDE-PARK.
Sir C. NAPIER, after congratulating the Govern-
ment on the representation of the army to-day in Hyde-
park, regretted so for naval men were present, arid he
asked the Government, on another similar occasion, to.
snake a better naval display. Re thought at leaz6 1,000
been might have been brought-ttl; and instead of being
in their blue coats and white trowsers only, they should

h axe ccii e up stith the light guns, and have passed be-
fore the Queen in a proper manner. After some remarks
upon the Greenwich pensioners present the g illtnt ad-
miral expressed an opinion that such a pal-ry display on
the part of the navy would never occur again.
Cl.. FRENCH called attention to what he c led the
ad•nirahle arrangements mad 3 by the Government.
The subj-ct then dropped.
INDIA.
Sir E. PERRY asked the President of the Board of
Control whether, on the reference to India of the judi-
ciil reforms proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, it was
competent to the Legislative Council in India to reject
those reforms altoo•'ethei, even though the Home Go-
vernment approved of them ; and whether it was true
that the Legislative Council, consisting of nine Com-
pany's servants and two Queen's judges, claimed to act
as an independent Legislature
Mr. VERNON SMITH defended the present
constitution of the Legislative Council, which was
more capable of eflectual:y legislating for India than
this house, from the remarks that had been made
against it in this house and elsewhere, and he said that
the Legislative Assembly of India had the power to re-
j,!ct reforms approved of by the home Government, and
lie declined to state what his views were on such con-
duct, if it bad been pursued until he had heard from
India. He supported the independent actiog of tho
(Tinned. The bill, no doubt woull be ultimately
passed, though the majority of the Council should not
accord with the views of this house.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY deprecated the introduction
of such important questions on the motion of the ad-
j nrnment of the house, and he asked the noble lord
to consider the necessity of renewing the Indian debate
on an early day, as an act of justice to India. He pro-
ceeded to ref"r to the cotton question and the speeches
of the hon. member on that debate.
Sir J. PAKINGTON spoke to order,
Lord A. V. TENIPEST supported the suggestion of
the last speaker, for an early removal of the Indian de-
bate. _ _

-Sir G. GREY said the day for fixing the debate was
named by the mover of that motion. When that day
time it would be the duty of the house to fix a day if it
could not be resumed on Tuesday.
The subject then dropped.
THE ORDNANCE SURVEY.
Mr. LIDDELL asked the Secretary of the Treasury
whether. it was competent for the proprietors of land in
Durham to obtain, by paying the expenses, maps on the
twentv-five inch scale after the vote of the former night ;
and whether, if there was any objection to present a re-
turn of the names of the parishee and places in Northum-
berland and Durham on the twenty-five inch survey,
distinguishing those persons already furnished from those
not furnished.
IVr. WILSON said that there could be no objection
to the return, nor to supply gentlemen with maps of the
estates at their own expense.
The subject then dropped. •
The motion for adj)urnment was then agreed to.
PROBATES AND LETTERS OF AD NIINISTRX-
TION BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he consi-
dered it superfluous to enter into the consideration of
the necessity of an alteration in this country which bad
been attempted for 30 years by successive Governments.
No doubt they would have succumbed before this had it
not been for the divided opinion of the assailants
as to what should be substituted for them. He then re-
ferred to the state of the law, to allow the house to judge
how far the provision of this bill was likely to meet the
necessities of the age, and also to the anomalies that
existed in the administration of the law, owing to the
divided proceedure under the present law, and said that
it was better to take the matter from the Ecclesiastical
Courts, and the Common Law Courts, and vest inqui-
ries under one Court possessing the functions of
both, with one+ simple ascertained mode of
proceeding, viz., by a judge and jury by which
mode they would obtain simplicity and equality. This
bill proposed to abolish the ecclesiastical and all pecu-
liar courts for the proof of wills amounting to 400 spread
over the whole of the country, and could only be con-
sidered as pitfalls.
