BETTI NG-ROOM, TATTIMSA LL'S, FEB. 28.
Of the Subscribers who attended to-day (and who were not very
numerous) there were more takers than betters, and business was
in consequence rather slack. The betting was chiefly on outside
horses, and did nut occasion any material alteration. The two hilt
favourites for the Derby continue at equal odds, and Androgens
for the St. Leger, has returned to 17 to). As oddsate as under

Lord SUFFIELD had mentioned Thursday next for the second
reading of the Spring Guns Abolition Bill, but as he found that
some important business would be fixed for that day, he should
postpone the second reading of this Bill till Friday.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition signed by
140 Protestants of the Town of Devonport, in the County of
Devon, against granting further concessions to the Catholics.—
Laisl on the table.

Viscount AIF.I.VILLE, in rising pursuant to his notice, said,
that it would be in their Lordships' recollection that on one or two
occasions, in former Sessions, a Bill had been sent up from the
Commons to alter the mode of choosing Juries in Scotland. He
had objcted to those Bills, hecabse, in the first place, he thought the
evil was not felt so extensively in Scotland as it had bees repre-
sented, and because the machinery of the measures. proposed ap-
peared imperfect and likely to create greater inconvenience than it
Was intended to remedy. In the comae of the last Session he had
said that be would undertake, with the concurrence of those who
were much more competent than himself, to prepare a Bill which
would answer the purpose better, without des-amen the course of
Maim. This was the BM which he was now proposing. He
should briefly describe its objects. In trials for High Treason, the
Scotch law wai the-same as the English, and when an act of High
Treason or insurrection had been committed, a Commission was
issued to the impeached county fur the trial of the offenders. This
course had been found in some cases very inconvenicht in Scotland,
as the Assizes were held regularly only in three or four counties for
whole districts. It was now proposed that the Grand Jurors elected
for those Counties should be summoned to all other Counties where
trials for high treason might take place. With respect to the pre-
sent mode of choosing Juries, it was done in this manner. The
list furnished to the prisoner ten days before his trial, was laid be-
fore the Judge, who selected the names he pleased out of it. Ac-
cording to the present Bill, the choice would be made by ballot,
And a power of challenging would bi given to the prisoner. Sects
were the objects of the Bill, which he moved should now be read a
first time.—Agreed to.
Mr. Bitootom, and a large number of Members.brought up from
the Commons, the Unlawful Societies' (Irish) Bill.
On the motion of the Earl of Lavesesiox, the Bill was read a
tint time.
The Noble Earl then moved that it be printed, mid gave notice,
that he should propose the second reading on isltutsday next, for
which day their Lordships were ordered to be summoned.
