SCOTCH JURY DILL.
Sir GEORGE CLARK presented a Petition
from the Freeholders, Justices of the Peace, and
Corn missiooers of Supply (1 the County of Edin-
burgh, praying for some delay in the progreu of the
Scotch Jury 11111, as it was a new measures of which
they had not heard beore.

Mr. HORNER said that this was a misstate-
ment, as a copy of the proposed Bill had been sent
46swn last Session to Scotland, and must therefore
hive been well known in that country.
Sir GEORGE CLARK stated, that the Bill sent
to Scotland anfreied is many particulars from the
present.

Mr. HORNER contended, that because the Bill
bad experienced some alterations and amendments in
its progress, it could nut be calied it new measure, or
render delay necessary.
Mr. TAYLOR should support the Bill, as be
thiught it pregnant uitli every good.
Mr. W. DUNDAS had postponed the further
consideration of the Bill to the 4.th of April next, in
order that it should not b.: sa►d the measure had
seen improperly hurrivd.
Mr. BENNET deprecated pteci,pitation on a ques-
tion of so much magnitude.
Mr. DUNDAS observed, that no undue haste had
been or would be manifested.

Mr. HORNER. trmak a shewt view of the princi•
plea of the Scottish Law, and enlarged on the bent.
tits which would be derived from the measure then

in progress.
Sir G. CLARKE said, if the Petitioners were mis-
taken in their view of the measure, be was sure that
it would give them a great satisfaction to be con-
vinced of their error. It WAS, very generally .sup-
posed that the pecide of Scotland were extremely
partial w the Bill. This, however, was not the fact.
By the landed interest it was not desired ; and the
commercial interest, he believed, did not view it with
approbation.
Mr. W. SMITH expressed lus high approbation
of the extension of the Trial by Jury to Scotland.
If the postponement of the progress of the Bill till
the 30th of April would endanger its passing, he
certainly would not concur in putting it off; but as
there was no fear of its being defeated, he thought
the prayer of the Petition might be complied with.
Sir JAMES. MACKINTOSH expressed himself
decidedly in favour of the measure.
Mr. FINLAY said he had reason to believe, from
communications made to him on the subject, that
the prejudice againA the intended alteration in the
Law of Scotland, by the introduction of the Trial
by JOry, was daily wearing away,' and would, in a
very short time, go entirely out of fashion.
Mr. FORBES was in Favour of trials in Scotland
being held before Scotch Judges.
Tue Petition m.a order:d to lie on the table.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
laid copies of. the Trcaiies concluded between his

Mr. HORNER inquired, whether it was the in.
tension of his Majesty's Ministers to lay the Treaty
of Peace with America before the House, and to ac-
company it wit► the Papers relative to the Negocia•
dons at Ghent ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
