STAGE-CO \CUES.
The Arronstay-GliNalot. moved for leave to
bring in a Bill, the object of which was the pro•
tection of itom lives and limbs of his Maiesty's
subjects, by correcting the enormous abuses of
stage-coach ;drivers. Within these few days it
would be hardly credible what a number of appli-
cations he had received on this subject : some ac-
counts were enough to freeze one with horror. A
Gentleman of veracitv, whose name he should not
mention, irst he should let loose on hint a hor-
net's nest of stage-coach drivers, had informed him
that on "rursday, at half-past five, the Trafalgar
and Regulation coaches set off from Manchester,
tend got to Liverpool 20 minutes lifter eight, doing
titis journey in t wn hours and fifty minutes, at rite
ratept 12 miles an hour. The coachmen flogged
their• horses all the way down a Bill of a toile at
the entrance to Liverpool, anti in getting into the
town one of them roll for a considerable time on
only two of its wheels : Itie ily uo accident hap-
pened. At present the Magistrates could impose
tine of 101.; but the propriettirs generally •at-
'elided, paid the money, and told the coachman
that, es he had beaten the opposition, he might
do so again. Cases of ,desperate driving had
ocenirretl, when a passenger refused to be driven at
such u dangerous rote, and insisted on getting oat,
and being itecommnduted with a post chaise: but the
ansu er was, you can have no chaise, as the contrait
was to curry you to such a place within tt certain
time. The weight placed on the tops of coaches
was an important consideration, and it was use-
less to tryst this to the Adverts discretion. He

Statute Law of Scotland and heland.
Air. ilottNEtt wished to know what it was pro-

the subject was first bront.ths under the ronsiderw-

had.nriginated in the other Muse of Parliament ;
end.: the intention undoubtedly was le produce
some such arrangement of the Statute Law by
way of consolidation as would be funmil extreme-

conveniences and difficulties which now exkteil
in so great a degree. It was very rvident that the

IRISC3 GRAND JURY DILL.

Mr. Hottmea having moved the second reading
of the Irish Grand Judy Indictment Bill,
Colonel BARRY thought no sufficienkreason bad
been assigned for the change which this Bill would
produce in the a(lininistration of the Law its-Ire-
land. The provisions of the Bill went to exclude
• ell evidence that was not given viva voce, and al-
though there were words in the Bill which allowed
tie adduction of omit other evidence as the case
%,ontd admit of, yet Wit- would be attended with
great inconvenience. For inetartee, if this Bill
‘s s passed,, be did not see how a man wire had
confessed a crime before a Magistrate, could be
donvic(cd on, his confession in writing, if he chose
to plead " not guilty." He therefOre moved as
fnendolent, that the Bill nhoiild be read a se-
,
,:nd tim

z-)ir F. FLOOO said; ,t that whoever read the
rile aud preamble of his BM must hitnself
~.tnund tq vote agaiust it. The Gritnd Juries in

Ireland had acted for the last Century on the prin.
Cli"C it was the object of this Bill to over.
torn. The practice or (-grad Juries Was always
to eall-for vloa iore evidence vhere it was neees-
sury, from rniv doubts of the veracity ot a witness.
He defied anv one to quote Lord Coke,; Lord
Hale. Jodge Poster, or Judge Roller, in support
of the principle 'of this Bill. • h contained an im-
putation against all the Grand Juries of Itektid ;
therefore he would, vote for the Amendment.
- Mr. PM. was Winced to dive his vote for this
Bill, "because he thought it highly expedient to
assimitate the laws of -lingland anti Ireland. lie
did not think that his Hon. Priend who spoke
last, or his Right Ron. Friend who Moved the
Amendment, bad .atldneed Roy argument against
[ the Bill, as far as its principle went. Their only
Abjection was to the title of the Bill. 'When it
was stated that the practice of Orand Jnriet had
been to: call for via voce evidence in certain.
cases, this was clearly art argument in favour of
the Bill In short, there were only object ions•of.
_detail, which timid he easily obviated, and-there
was none to the principle. There was nothing
to throw the least imputation against Grand
;furies. For these reasons he should•suppott the
Bill.
• Lord CAST RR A Gil said, lie should also support
the Bill. He felt that there was nothing in the
least degree ro Ireland, in
ing to as,imilate the administration of the law
there to ‘‘ hat it was in England.• lie thought
it
desirable that written information shouiC go be-
fore the Grand Juryt as it would enable them to
examine witnesses much more at:dually, by
making them accput;ntedwith the stature of the
case. He wive(' to be informed whether a per-
son giving false evidenee betote a Grand Jury
could be convicted tir perjury, as it seemed to
him of great importance that perjury in such cases
should be most heavily punished.
Mr. HORNED expressed great satisfaction the
liberal and enlightened v law which the Noble •
Lord tank of the Bill. He 'did certainly- apple-
bend that false testimony given hviore the Grand
Jury would be perjury. Mr..Justiee Buller. had
decided that the oath of secrecy of Gram, Jury.;

dence for the purpOse of convicting a .witne,s of-

EXCkIEQUIZAIS. •

The House having gone into a Committee on
the Exchequers' Consolidation 13111,
Sir H. Nam+ rose to, state some objections.
which struck him in looking over the Bill. The
first thing which he pointed out as objectionable
was the appointment of two new Lords of the
Treasury in England, for no reason that he could •
perceitite. He would admit-the increase of public
duty on the Chancellor of the Exchequer., and
would recommend for his relief an additional
Secretary to the Treasury. He observed that
a new officer was to be created by this Bill,
whose duty necessarily implied his personal at-
tentlauce its Ireland, to direct the issue of public
money t yet, strangely enough, this °dicer was
allowed to hold a seat in Parliament---a situation
incompatible with his ditties in Ireland, which
wire strictly local., His next objection was to
the Lord Lieutenant's controul over the' issue of
money, which he %vault propose to vest in the
Board of Treasury in England and he strongly
disapproved the authority left to the Lord Lieu-
tenant over the whole" of the revenue. Ile tvioh-
ed to know whether the appointment of Officers
was-still to remain with the. Lord Lieutenant as
before, or whether it was to be transferred to the.
Treasury Board bete)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had not yet gone into the Bill at large, because
he found the principle and outline agreed
_to, and
therefore thought it better 'to confine himself
solely to `answering such objections as were- sr-
eitieally Aimed, He should, iu pnrsuanci of t
course) answer the objections of the Honour-
able Baronet. The reason why two Lords of the
Treasury were added was this : The Treasury
Board in England had of, late a great increase of
oiidat business, both in manual and intellectual.
labour in the Treastny business, as well hi in
communicating with the Revenue and Admiralty
Boards. 'Phis Board therefore would have been
wholly inuacquote to the accession of dirty from
the COIISOlidg!OLI of the *To lreasurers, and the'

best mob of providing for the exigency was. add -
log two Members, selected from the Irith Board,
for the advantage of local and personal knowledge
Of the new business imirosed by the Bill before the
Committee. The two Boards were thus in some
()egret., amalgamated, byjoining two Menabers,of
the Irish to the English Board. He was not !hen
prepared to say whethei- it would be expedient
to creete another Secretary • for the relief of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Bei in conse-
quence. of the increased duties of that office, the
Bill proposed an increase of 10001. a year to the,
salary.' lint there was a reduetioreof five Lords
of the 'Preastiry, and of the..salary.of the Irish
Chantellor of the Exchequer, as such, and as a
Lord of the Treaanry ; so that a considerable
public saving would accrue froin this Bill, With
regard to the controul of the Lord LientenAnt
over the 'wen of the Treasury it was purely
ministerial, not discretionary, ncting Only up-
on- grants by P.irliaineot or .King's letter.
TheVice-Treasurer, annfficer which he reviewed
under the old'native, in order to keep as close as
possible to ancient usage, would he responsible to,
the English Board for the issues of the Irish Tree-
.sury, and, es that was an office of- great import-
ance,- and should consequently befitted by a pee-
son of eminent talents, capable of adorning that
or the other House, be thought it most proper
that a seat in Parliament 'should be compatible
with it. He proposed that the' Vice-Peaserer
should be allowed a salary of three thousand five
lwoire.(l pound's a year,-and a Deputy to act for
hint in ease of belispoeition. The only remaining
objection ofthe lion. flu rt. was, leavine the pat rim-
age. of the Tieasury to the saute. exteneas before, in
the hands of the Lord Lieutenant, who from local
knowledge was, much more competent to exercise
it. beneficially` than tor frensery Board

it was as.conteratible with the due discharge of bis

-• Mr. WY NNE: was of opinion that the Vice- rrea-

'Mr. BANKEs ✓thought the main point, was, that
