great 'length, by what had passed in the House on Friday
night tast. He had thee been given to understand, that
what he had been endeavouring to hrin about for the last
eighteat years had at length been taken up by the Govern-
ment, and that the Noble Lard at the head of the Court of
Chancery was ahoet to bring forward dome propositions
for the relief of the suitors of that Court. He mttet con-
gratulate the House and himself on a change so much to
the honour of the country end to the benefit of these who
heel hitherto been the unfortunate suitors in the Court of
Chancery. It was nut his intention to intrude upon the
indulgence of the House, row that his Right Honour-
able ?riestd tMr. Peel) had intimated that it teas se-
ressary that some actual relief should take place.—
He hegged to state that he should wait, ae in duty he was
keettnei to do, for the Rill about to be introduced into the
ether House ; hoe at the same time, he wished to observe,
that tiengh lee should for a time relax in his eltorts, yet,
when that Bill came to be dieenssed, he should take the
iherty of fully inquiring, whether• the relief therein
peopo,ed met the exigencies of the ease; and if not,
he endeavour to sift the measure to the ►runoffa,
in oiner to %hew how far it eotreeporehal with his
view, and how far the House ought to adopt its tone.—
He should therefore content himself at present by moving
for " Returns of ihe total Number of Causes set down for•
