versities of Glasgow- and SC Andrew's, against the

and it was tinally suffered to stand for to-morrow,
(this day.)
orricrns OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
Sir JOE-IN NEWPPRT, seeing a Noble Lor4 in
his place, rose to observe, that of-all the Officers in
the Court of Chancery, the Registrar had atonevade
the return called' f-,r by the House. He therefore
gave notice, that it was his intention to submit a
moticn to' the House to-morrow, for ordering all those
Officers of the Court of Chancery to the liar who baa
not made the returns balled for.

• •

Lord CASTLEREAGH had spoken with the
Noble Lord at the head of that COurt on the subject.
His return would have been made very early, had it
not been kept back that it might be seat in with the
rest. He. did not know hOw it happened that the
Registrar alOne had been able to make his return,
but he believed there was some difficulty in making
out ta returns, as some of the Officers had changed
hands ninny times within the last tiventy years. He
believed the Officer's were at present hard at work,
Endeavouring to comply With the order of the House.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, an order On the Sub-
ject had'been 'made in March, and the last was made
on the 15th off' May. All the other Cour is had been
able to make their ratites, with the exception of a
few of the Irish Courts ; and he did not uno,erstand
why none of the Oiliceri of the Court of 'Chancery
could make a mien but the Registrar. His return
only•stated, that he knew of no increase havinz, been
made in the fees of his office ; and he (Sir John New-
port) did not see :shy he could not have made sect)
a return a month ago as well as now.—While on his
legs, he must call the attention of the HOusc to ano-
ther subject. He was sorry to 1-rave occasion to com-
plain so frequently of breaches of the Union. Ay tire
Act of Union the transit of commodities from England
and Ireland had equal and reciprocal facilities. 'This'
pinvision had lately been violated by a refusal te al-
low the drawback on Irish soap, which was alloved '
on soap nrade in England. If the Noble Lord had
no objection to his making a motion' on the subject
now, he would move, That there should be laid be-
fore the House a copy of any Oltder 'issued by the
Commissioners of the Excise fur withholdii4 the
drawback 'bn Irish scrip exported; and de4laring it
Could not, for the time to come, be allowed on any
excisable commodity which was nut manufactured in
England.
Lord CASTLEREAGH had no objection to the
Motion.—The Papere were orderi:d to be laid before
the House.
