on the preamble of the Bill, as by adopting the proposed amendment
of the resolution, which would not be a respectful course to die
Crown, as that resolution was an echo of the Royal Message.
Mr. CALCRAFT contended for the necessity of a
clear understanding that the child should be educated
in England._

After a few words from Sir Jou)! NZWPORT, suggesting an
amendment to the Resolution confiding the education of the child to
the King, and not to the Duke of Cumberland, the Committee di-
vided on the first amendment, when the numbers were—

JUDG&B' SALARIZS.

- -- -- ---------
Upon the motion of the CHANem.iot of the FACIUQUZII. the
House resolved itself into a Committee on the Judges Salaries' SR
Mr. SCARLETT moved, that the salary of the Lord Chief
Justice be £12,000 per annum.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that be
believed £lO,OOO per annum to the Chief Justice was adequate to
the losses which he would sustain by the abolition of fees and of
aims in his Court.

Mr. MONCK thought more ought to be done for the Lord
Chief Justice.

Mr. PEEL advocated the sum of £lO.OOO per annum, which
be considered a liberal salary to the Lord Chief Justice of the
Iling's Bench.
The sum of £lO.OOO was then agreed to without a division.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated that
the discussion, if any was intended, upon the salaries to Puisne
Judges, might take place on receiving the Report.
Mr. HUME wished to know whether the enormous fees of the
Court of Chancery were still to exist?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had ex-
plained on a former day that it was impossible to interfere with the
fees of the Court of Chancery, whilst those were subject to the in-
quiry of a Commission appointed for that purpose. He could not
avoid observing, that the. Hun. Member for Montrose, and many
others, laboured under a great mistake in supposing the Lord Chan-
cellor derived large emoluments from the Court of Chancery. The
salary of that Noble Person did not exceed £9,000 a-year. For
Ms situation as Speaker in the House of Lords, the Chancellor re-
ceived some further compensation ; but the whole amount of his in-
come did not exceed £15,000 a-year. The labours of that Great
Officer were exceeded by none, and £13,000, for a person filling the
Ws situation of Lord Chancellor, was really below_ the fair esti-
mate of remuneration.

Mr. HUME was willing to pay the Lord Chancellor £15,000 a
year, rather than pay him in the extraordinary way in which he
'was paid by fees. From all that had passed, he believed the Lord
Chancellors salary to be £lB,OOO a-year.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the statement respecting
the taking of enormous fees war a gross calumny.
Mr. HUME said,'as soon as the Papers could be laid on the
table respecting fres, he should pledge himself to make good all he
had said on the subject.
Mr. HORACE TWISS was sure, when the Papers were on
the table, the Honourable and Learned Gentlemin would feel be
could net redeem his pledge.
Mr. SCA RLETT proposed that the further consideration of the
subject should be postponed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he was the
other night erroneous in stating the present retired allowances of
the Puisne Judges to be £2,500 per annum—it was £t,600, and to
that he should move an addition of the £5OO a-year, to be de.
ducted from the first amount he proposed of £6,000 per annum.
He also proposed that the retired allowance of the Via-Chancellor
should be £3,300 a-year, and that of the Chief Justice £4,000 a-year.
Mr. SCA RLETT proposed as an amendment, that instead of
£5OO a-year additional retired allowances to the Puisne Judges, it
should be £9OO a-year, making the total retired allowance £5500
per annum.
After a few words from Dr. Lusunrcrox,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the
Chairman report progress, and obtain leave to sit again.
Mr. HUME said, this being the case, when the sabat:ras next
before the House, he should move that the Lord eilor, in
lieu of all his fees, should in future receive a salary of £lO,OOO per
annum, which was £5llO a-year more than his friends now de-
elated he received—(Hear).
The House then resumed, and the further consideration of the
Report was postponed to Monday next.
The second reading of the Spring Guns' Bill and Garden Pro-
tection Biji, was postponed to the 10th of June ; and also the
Ireland Poor Bill.

COUIdITTSE OF SUPPLY.
