GOVERNMENT OF NEWFoUNDLAND.

The Order of the Day being moved, and read for
proceeding to the second reading of the Bill entitled an
" Act for the better Administration of Justice in New-
foundland, and for making further provision for the
Solemnisation of 'Marriage in the said Colony," &c. !
Earl BATHURST said that he begged shortly to
state to their Lordships the general object of the pre-
sent Bill. In the first place, however, he had to refer
to what the administration of justice in Newfoundland
had formerly been, and this resulted from an Act passed
in 1809 ; but a.preceding Act, passed in 1791, had laid
the foundation of that .system of judicator, which after-
wards prevailed. It might c, eate some surprise in many
of their Lordships, that although we had been in pos-
' session of this Island more than 200 years, no better
line of jurisdiction had been before adopted ;.but it ap-
peared to have been the nnTfor in policy of this country
not to interfere with the administration of justice in that
Island in a direct way, and hence this duty was per-
fornied by the Admirals and Vice-Admirals oft that
statien ; or, in default of those, it devolved to :he Cap-
tains of his Majesty's ships who arrived to take the com-
mand. This system continued till the year 1791, with
a very trifling alteration, which was accomplished in
1729, when Quarter Sessions were first appointed in the
Colony. And here it was but justice to the Naval tier-
vice to state, that during so long a period not a sink
complaint had reached this country of the mal•admi-
[nitration of justice. The power of decision in all cases
was only on the civil side till 1791, when it Was ex.
tended to the criminal pal t ; and a Supreme Court,
both in civil and criminal cases, was established, with
one Chief Justice and two Assessors; and in the absence
of a sufficient number of Jurors, the Chief Justice and
his Assessors were competent to decide the cases that
came before them. There was also a Surrogate Court.
But it was chiefly with respect to the Provincial or Su-
bordinate Courts that complaints were made. As to
these subordinate Courts, it appeared that such com-
plaints were in consequence of the want of persons of
competent knowledge, and thus freqeent appeals were
made to the Supreme Court. The Noble Earl described
the chief object of the Bill now brought in to be the for-
mation of t Supi eine Court of Judicature, with a Chief
Justice and two Assessors. Certain clauses authorised
the division of the Island into three districts, and the
establishment of Circuit Courts. It had also been thought
proper to institute Courts of Quarter Session. After
stating a variety of details, the Noble earl adverted to
that part of the Bill which relates to the celebration of
marriages. He said, that up to 1817 the greatest con-
fusion had prevailed on this subject. A bill was then
introduced by which certain regulations were made.
That Act it was now proposed to repeal, and to re-enact
only that.part of it which requires persons celebrating
marriage to be in holy orders. Roman Catholic Priests,
by the comrnon•law of the Island, had the right of ce-
lebrating marriage, and the present am gave the same
right to Dissenting Clergymen of every description.
The Earl of DARNLEY obsessed, chat if terurin al-
terations in the.system of judicature had not been: pio-
posed to be made, he should have had a Petition to pre-
sent on the subject. He was happy to tinderstartu that
the Trial by Jury, which bad been taken away,' ivas
to be restored.
Oa the suggestion of Lord HOLLAND, F.arl BATIEWAST agreed to
divide the Bill into two 1 ills, and used the Committee lur the
Thursday after the holidaya.—Adjourned..
