THE

why th'y should not likewise decide on cases of torz to

a icize afrotirit?
yr. FITZROY moved that in the blank which it was
proposed to fill up with the words 201., the words 101.
be inserted.
After a few words from Mr. Martin, Mr. R. Palmer,
and Mr. Hu:ne, the amendment was negatived without a
divi,ion, and the words 201. were inserted.
Mr. MARTIN prop osA that the following words as
a proviso should be inserted:—" Provided that nothing
herein contained shall extend to an action of covenant
for unliquidated datna;es." He thought that care should
be takea to preveat important actions of covenant coming
More an inferior tribunal.
In answer to Sir G. GREY,
Mr. MARTIN said that he intended the proviso to
extend to all cases comprehended in the clause itself.
The AT was of opinion that
the proposed proviso would create a difficulty as to the
obvious meaning of the clause.
Sir G. STRICKLA.ND said that they were making
too great a jump from 201. to 501. He thought it much
better to give a concurrent jurisdiction between 201. and
501. between the county courts and the superior courts.
He would support the proposition for the striking out of
this clause.
After some further discussion the clause was agreed to.

- _
On clause 8 being proposed,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that it bo
struck out, as the clause would have the effect of abolish-
ing many of the courts that had given the greatest satis-

faction.
The clause was struck out accordingly.
Clause 9 as amended was then agreed to.
Clauses 10 anti 11 as amended were also agreed to.
On clause 12 being propo,ed,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that this
clams be expunged.
Mr. COCKBURN admitted that the clause was unsa-
tisfactory, and concurred in the opinion that it should be
struck out; but he would certainly propose an amended
clause on bringing up the report.
The clause was then expunged.
Clause 13 was struck out.
The AT rORNEY-GENER AL then brought up
clauses to the following effect:—
" 1. Prohibiting deputy judge from practising within
the di!trict for which he :if ali act as deputy.
"2. Requiring clerks and assistant clerks hereafter
appointed to reside iu their districts.
3. Authorising the Treasury to order payment of
judges, clerks, or bailiffs, by salary instead of fees, in
lieu of the mode now adopted of so doing, by order in
Council.
" 4. Vesting the power of appointment and dismissal
of servants and court keepers, 5;e., in the Treasury.
" 5. Repealing 9th and 10th Vic., c. 95, sec. 72, and
empowering the clerk of the court to procure fir the
proper authorities a list of persons assessed to the poor
rate at 201., from whom jurors are to be selected.
Teking the power to use town-halls, &c., free of
!e. for the use of the court.
Enabling the parties or their attorneys to serve

process.
" 8. Giving powers to the clerks to enter payment by
consent, and to make order thereon accordingly."
Sir G. PECHELL said the clauses were too im-
portant to be adopted without discussion.
Mr. COCKSURN was of opinion that the clauses
should be postponed.
The AT fORNEY-GENERAL said he should not
bring them on until another night.
Mr. HENLEY moved that the Chairman should re-
port progr,SS.
Mr. CARDWELL thought, as the Bill had been
gene threneh. it should not he stoppid at that stage.
Mr. HENLEY said there were a great many clauses
to be brought up by several Members. It was, in fact,
almost a new Bill. He should, therefore, persevere in
his motion.
Mr. FITZROY hoped the Hon. Gentleman would
net press his motion to a division, but allow the Bill to
be printed.
Mr. HUME' raid unless the Bill was reported and
reprinted the House would not be able to judge of the
alterations that had been made in it.
Lord DUNCAN hoped the Hon. Member would
allow the Bill to be reported and reprinted.
Mr. HENLEY had no objection to the reporting and
reprinting of the Bill, on condition that it should be re-
commi!ted.
Sir G. GREY thought the proposal would satisfy the
Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. HENLEY wished to know whether the under-
' standing was that the Bill should be recommitted?
The motion was withdra vn. The Bill was ordered to
be reported, and the House resumed.
Lord ASHLEY postponed the Factories Bill until
Wednesday. The next (this) day he would ask what
were the intentions of the Government on the subject.
The Larceny Summary Jurisdiction Bill was tutther
considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Thurs-
day next.
Mr. ANSTEY, pursuant to notice, moved that when
notice has been given of any amendment to the question
of going into Committee of Supply or Ways and Means,
such amendment shall be called in its order on the paper,
and no debate on the original question shall take place
until such ;Amendment has been disposed of.
Mr. GREENE objected to the motion as being calcu-
lated to interfere with the general consenience of the
House, and he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would with-
draw it.
Sir J. GRAHAM also obje=cted to any further restric-
tions in bringing forward questions on going into Com-
mittee of Supply.
Atter a few words from Sir G. GREY,
The motion was withdrawn.
On the motion of Sir B. HALL, a return was ordered
of " the names of all persons who have been appointed
or nominated in reversion to any office in the Ecclesi-
astical Courts of England and Wales, stating the nature
of the office, the date of appointment or nomination in
reversion, the age of the person or persons at the time of
such appointment or nomination, and whether such per-
son or persons perform the duties of the office in person
or not, or was then in, or has since taken, holy orders;
and the name or title of the person making such appoint-
ment, together with the emoluments and income of the
office."
Mr. TRELAWNY, who had a motion on the paper,
" that in time of peace this couetry ought to appropriate
2,000 COOL a year towa:ds the liquidation of the national
debt," said he would let it stand for every Tuesday and
Thursday till he had an opportunity of bringing it before
the House.
The other orders of the day haying been disposed of,
the liou:.e adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock.

" TUE RIFLE RANGERS," BY CAPTAIN MAYNE
REID.—" Two most enchanting volumes in a very elegant
form. The work reads with a gay, charming air, which is
most agreeable. Some of the author's pictures are magnifi-
cent without the slightest exaggeration. Where he describes
a primeval forest, with its gorgeous blossoming parasites,
clinging to the trunks of colossal trees. the impervious but
fragrant jungles, and all the wild beauties incidental to a tro-
pical scene, the whole forms a picture at once grand, striking,
and undoubtedly full of natural poetry. One of the liveliest,
most entertaining, and readable books of the day. It cannot
fail to become popular?' - Weekly Dispatch.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The wonderful efficacy of
Holloway's Pills and Ointment in Curing an aged person of
Rheumatism.—Mr. John Pitt, of King-street, Dudley, who

severely from rheumat!sm, and at times was unable to walk.
He was under various doctors, and took every kind of medicine,
without deriving any benefit, and at last was effectually cured
by Holloway's Pills and Ointment, and he can now. walk as
at
well as ever he could in his life.—Sold by all Druggists, and
