He had another Petition from Walter H.Yates, who stated
that he was entitled to several valuable estates in Glou-
cestershire, but that he is unable to recover them, from
his scanty means disabling him to file a bill in a Court
of Equity. He had also a Petition from Gommow,
who is entitled to an annuity of 3001. a year. under the
will of the late Duke of Queensberry, compla;ning that
he was for seven-years without receiving a farthing of
it, although there were large funds belonging to the es-
tate in the hands of the Accountant of the Court. He
had also a Petition from Mr. Gourlay, who dated the
origin of his ruin to the Court of Chancery, in which
he complained r,f his successes; but they were like the
victories of Pyrrhus, and he was only by them rapt
dited in the course of ruin. He had also a Petition frank
Mr. Es.cott, a prisoner in the Fleet, for not answering
interrogatories. He had been two years and five months
in confinement, and he stated that he was entirely igno-
rant of law proceedings and trusted to Jones,who was co-
defendant with him,and to his Attorney. He was residing
at Lincoln, and was brought up by a Special Messen-
ger, at an espente of 501. and lodged in the Fleet Prison,
where, for the first )ear and a half of his confinement,
he suffered the greatest misery, having lost his intel•
lects ; and he would have absolutely perished for want,
if it had not been for the humanity of the Warden, Mr.
Brown. AU these Petitioners called upon the House of
Commons for redress of their grievances. The Learned
Gentleman said, there was one other case, that of the
Tonbridge School, in which, after an appeal for which
there was no sort of foundation, it was referred to the
Master, and in his office it remained for two years, till
his death : it had now got into the hands of another,
and when it would come out no one could say. One
generation of boys (for whose benefit in promoting their
education the charity was intended) had lost their chance
entirely. So that whether the Lord Chancellor had
doubts, or whether he decided promptly (as in this case),
yet whilst there were four or five thousand a year to
fasten on, the matter could not be got out of the
clutches of the Court of Chancery, and so it was'one
hundred and fifty years ago. Hudibras was advised
by the Squire, in default of all other means to win the
widow (and he had used some pretty direct ones, a;
was proper in the case of a widow), to file a bill in
Chancery against her, which would either—

" Bring her over to be his wife,
Or make her weary of her life."
(A laugh).—The Petitioners all prayed relief from the
House of commons, and he did not doubt but the
Commissioners would hereafter pray for similar relief.
It was in vain to think that such a Court would reform,
itself, or flog itself, like Sancho—(Lori laughter).--By
the old constitution of this country, inquiries were made
into the Courts of Law, and that House still had a
Committee of Justice. But the name alone remained;
it was a disgrace to the country, to be so far behind all
the rest of Europe in the cheap and speedy administra-
tion of justice. It was no answer to him, to say he Wii
unable to point out a remedy. Whether or not the
evil could be remedied, it certainly was the duty of the
House to make the attempt—whatever was worthy of
being attempted, was attended with difficulty. In Bava.
via a new and impartial Penal Code ha &been introduced,
and late ruler of France had in like manner left be-
hind him a monument that would survive the memory
both of his tiiumphs and defeats. The Hon. Member then
alluded to a recent work, by- a Gentleman of the name
of Miller, on the subject of the Court of Chancery;
and real from it an extract relative to the character of
the Lord Chancellor, stating, that he had it in his
power to have reared a noble monument to his memory,
but he thought that he neither was fond of alterations
himself, nor liked them from others; and that submis-
sion and mediocrity of talent were the passports to his
favour. The writer went on to say, that the Lord
Chancellor was ignorant of what was the opinion of
the Public as to the conduct of his Cou.t ; but that
State of things.could not last long, as it was sn opposed
to the enlightened views and' liberal policy of his col,
leagues. Tire Honourable Gentleman observed, that
he himself would not have made such a statement, had
it not Ahead), been in print, and become. public pto-

'petty—(Loud Ater:ng).—Beforikhe sat down, he would
only make one concluding remark. The inielligenct
of the country locked to the Hbuse for a remedy—
(Hwy—Whatever might be asserted by Xaswyers,i
puffing the craft by wnich they lived, he (Mr. Wit.,
Hams) mould assert, that the great body of the people
of England, the growing information, the march of in-
tellect, the gbrious progress of arts and science amon
them, demanded that some effectual remedy should be
applied w the evil. The neglect with which the sub-
ject had already been treated constituted a most serious
imputation against the Parliament, and he trusted that
a system of jurisprudence would no longer be allowed to exist,
which was in deplorably behind the whole polity of the kingdom.
Mr. DENISON burr testimony to the respectability of Palmer,
the fist petitioner.
Mr. J. SMITH owned that he might be an income
petent witness upon such a question as the one before
the House, and was ready t•, admit that the dutiei of
the Noble Lord a' the head of the Court of Chancery
were more arda•ms and important than those of any
other man in the country ; yet he was anxious to state
to the Home some facts which had come within his ex-
perience, as growing out of the present system of that
Court. The Hon. Member then stated .a case in which
he had been advise) by his Solicitor to put up with the
loss of 5001. justly due to him, rather than get into
Chancery. In another ca e lie htd been assignee to a
bankrupt, whose affairs were in Chancery 23 years,
without any prospect of their being settled. At that
period he met his lion. Fr iend the Member for Taun-
ton, by accident, at Bath; and he being a large cre-
ditor on the bankrupt's estate, they consented to settle
the business ; and in three hours they had done what
the Court of Chancery could not do in three-and-
twenty years. He agreed with his Hcn. and Learned
Friend that the existing institution of the Court of Chancery was
inconsistent with the enlightened state of the country ; and be
thought the country indebted to his ion. and Learned Friend far
the speech he bad made that night.
Mr. ELLICE was of opinion, that little, if any
good could arise from the Commission of Enquiry
into the Court of Chancery. The Noble and Learned
Lord attempted to do what no human being could
execute. But improvements could be 'bade if set
about in a proper manner. When the money of mi-
nors was placed its the Court of Chancery, the Court
took upon itself the sole controul of the property, and
put it in the 3 per Cents. The Funds might be at 90
at the time of the investment, but should a was break
out they might fall to 50, and half of the property
might be lost.—That had happened during the Ame-
rican War, and might happen again. In a matter of
about 1,4001. which he was littga4t,,iain Chancery, be
had already paid from 3001. to and the case was
as far as ever from adjudication. It would be better
that the Court was wholly abolished, and the subject
left to the Common Law of the land.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL laid, he was glad to
hear his Honourable Friend say that he did identify
himself with statements of the Petitioners with regard
to the Elephant and Castle Charity. It appeared, he
said, on the hearing of the Petition before the Chancel-
lor, that the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury were in-
terested. It was only in January last that the accounts
of that body having been received, the Petition was in
a state of maturity to be heard. Cases stood over on
account of Counsel, as well as on account of the Lord
Chancellor. Delay generally proceeded from cases
being badly-got up, The original Petition having been
badiy framed, had led to all the consequences come
' plsitied of by Mr. Palmer. Mr. Honey wood Yates,
complained, because 50,0004 had been left by the late)
Mr. Ricardo, to guard the title of his property in Gloss.
cestershire. There was, in fact, no foundation whatever'
fur Yates's complaint. But his object was to throw ri-
dicule on the Court of Chancery, because so eminent an
individual as Mr. Ricardo had left 50,0001. to protect
his title. It was an argument so ludicrous as to call,
for no answer. The next was Mr. Gummow, butler to
her late Majesty, and one of the legatees under the
Duke of Queensberry's will. The Duke of Buccleugh
I claimed 100,0001. for leases. The claims altogether
were not less than 400,0001. In settling this great
question, the delay was first in the Court of Session,
which was guilty of that offence, as well as the Court
of Chancery. No blame could be imputed to the Court
of Chancery, for not paying to legatees and annuitants
what was subject to the large claims he had mentioned.
The Lord Chancellor had however gone out of his way
to accommodate the legatees ; for, concluding that
owing to a rise in the value of the funds belonging to
the Duke of Queensberry, enough would remain to pay
the other creditors and hand them over part of their be-
quests, he first ordered one-fourth of the latter to be
discharged, and afterwards another one-fourth, making
altogether one-half. No later than yesterday he, the
Solicitor-General, obtained the consent of Mr. Murray,
one of his Grace's executors, to state to the House that
the Court had in that instance gone out of its way to
accommodate the parties interested. The fourth Peti-
tion was that of Mr.Gourlay,of which he would only say,
that ty the Honourable and Learned Member for
Winchelsea had been knocked down because he had
not presented a Petition fur Mr. Geurlay, his Honour-
able and Learned Friend, the Member for Lincoln,
had better take care he did not share the same fate
for having presented this Petition—(Hear, hear). In
short, he should charge all the Petitions with misre-
presentations, and the last was nothing less than direct
and positive madness. All that could be desired from
these Petitions was, that there ought to be five Courts
of Chancery—one to please each of the complainants.
He should trio say a few wards relative to the Com-
mission to enquire into• the practice of the Court of.
Chancery. His Honourable and Learned Friend would
not assuredly say, that it had not been laborious, when
he was informed that it sat already seventy days and
examined forty-five witnesses, combining the most ma-
terial information. The nest topic he should advert to

was the history of the Jurisdiction of the Court of
Chancery. The Honourable and Learned Member for
Lincoln had said that it usurped the functions of the
Star Chamber, but he asserted that since the di,pute
between Lord Coke and Lord Eilismore, nothing of the
sort had been attempted. He would also rem nd his
Hon. and Learned Friend, that the Equity Jurisdiction
of the Court was similar to that which the Piztorian
Court of Rowe ezerci ed over the Common Law c•f that

Republic. and that which the Court of Session in Scotland exer-
cised. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by deal-
noting the Petitions as deceptions and fallacious.
Dr. LUSHING lON was animus to state a few words,
explaining t!-.e delay in laying the Report of the'Com-
I nsissioners bt rote Pa.liamen . F:om the professional
avocations of the Members, it was impossible for it to
sit from day to day... The indisposition .of the Vice-
Chancellor, and the engagements at Lord Redesdole,
had alio retarded tie performance of the duty. Nor
could anything be more improper, than to have brought
up the Report ()don it wars maturely considered. 'Tilt

right or wrong, but to report on it as it was f und, and
he certainly should have hesitated to undertake the
duties of a Commissioner, if they went further. But
small as they appeared, they were of cqnsiderable ex-
tent. The . and Learned Gentleman ex-
pr
to contend that the jurisdiction of the Court mospect•ng
personal property ought to be altered, and that the
validity of wills disposing of- such pro,-etty ought to
be tiled by a Jury. He also drought the abuses in the
transfer of real property ought to be eradicated, for l e
himself could state one case in which an ah.tract of a
title to an estate occupied 800 brief sheets. Now he saw
no reason why. these defects should not be rem veJ.
He only wished the example of the Right Hon. Ge,,fl
man (.Ir. Peel), in the present S ssion should be 101 l
lowed—an example which, seven years ago would be
considered nothing less than Jacobinism. In a word,
the system was not 6t for the present day—but they
should not attempt to pull down till they bad the materials to build
up again. What they found bad hr theory, and bad in practice,
ought to be remedied. The object ought to be, to give justice
cheaply, easily, and effectually.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR had often endeavoured to im-
press on the House the ruinous delays in the Court of
Chancery; but he had always been defeated, from a
dread of offending certain individuals. After a struggle
of 12 years, a Deputy Speaker had been appointed in
the House of Lords, and the appeals had in consequencl
rapidly diminished. But had he been in the House at
the time, he would not have agreed to the Commission
so constituted. Who was at the heed of the Commi.-
sion ?—(Hear, hear)—Why, the very individual into
whose conduct inquiry was to be instituted. He knew
where an amicable suit had occupied 33 years. It was
admitted by all practitionrrs, that 3,0001. only would
be gained at the expense of 1 5001. He had himself
called upon prisoners in the King's Bench, in a state
almost of de.pondency, who would never have 'been
imprisoned if speedy and substandal justice had been dote. Last
year be was looking over causes which he recollected when was
at the Bar. He recollected some which had existed fir upward.
of twelve years. The House was bound to grant redress, and It
the Parliamentary Commission did not speedily make a Report
to the House, he hoped that the Parliament itself would take
up the subject.
Mr. Secretary PEEL, after the very able manner in
which this subject had been discussed by the Honour-
able Gentlemen who had preceded him, and by the
Honourable and Learned Member who had introduced
it, would not have said a word upon the question but
for the direct allusions which had been made to him
more than once in the course of the debate. In one
part of the Honourable-and Learned Gentleman's speech
he had directly adverted to him, as if he (Mr. Peel)
wished to impede or defeat the objects of an inquiry
into the delays of Chancery. He denied any such ins•
putation—(Hear);—he wished for a full and open in-
quiry into the whole practice of the Court of Chancery.
He denied that any inference to the contrary could be
drawn from the manner in which the commisssion of
last Session bad been constituted. The fact u as, that
Government had good and ample reason to adopt that
sort of constitution, from the success with which the
Commission of Inquiry into the Judicature of Scotland
had been attended—(Hear, hear).—ltwas but the re-
ceding evening that he had heard that commission very
highly eulogised in that House, and yet it was composed
entirely of Lawyers—the very men aborts the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman thought the most unlit to be
admitted upon committees of that kind, but wbo were
in such commission associated with Judges, as ilia-best
qualified to report on the condition of tt eir own judi-
cature. Now, for his own part, he could with perfect
disinterestedness declare, that he had a much higher
opinion of the conscientiousness and integrity of Law-
yers than the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite,
who ought to know them so much better—(A-laugh).—
An Hon. Gent. had argued that a Master in Chancery
was disabled from conducting any inquiry into matters
of accounts because he was not an accountant. Now,

it was very odd, on the same evening, to hear it con-
tended by the Hon. and Learned Member, that a M4ll
was disabled from inquiring into questions of legal
proceedings because he was a lawyer—( Hear, hear).
He would fairly own, that he had hoped ere this, that
the Report of the Commissioners appointed last session
would have been made—(Hear). He thought, ton, is
would have been much better had they determined to
report in the first place on some isolate.: and specifio
branch. of their inquiries, instead of waking to prepare
their general Report upon the whole of the topics em-
braced by the commission; because it was quite
evident that any such general Report on the Court
of Chancery must of necessisy be postponed for a con-
siderable time. But when he considered that these

Commissioners had already sat seventy days—(Hear)--
and had examined 45 witnesses ; and had adopted the
excellent rule of rejecting no witness who came forward
voluntarily to tender his evidence or to furnish infor•
oration ; and when he reflected that they had theii awn
various avocations also to attend to. and knew that it
was their intention to publish the whole of the evidence
taken before them, and not merely their general report
upon it ; he would again ask what possible object he
could have in view but a full and perfect examination?
But what were the names which he found in this corn-
mission ? There was the Noble and Learned Lord
at the head of his Majesty's Law Officers ; could any
thing like a toleration of unfairness or disingenuousness
be dreaded from him ? But if the guarantee of his Noble
Friend's integrity and Character were insufficient to
ensure the public confidence in this Commission, would
it not be confirmed even by the names of others' who were
his colleagues ? Was there not the Hon, and Learned
Member foalchester (Dr. Lushington), whose speech of
that evening had so weltattested the manly independence
of a mind that would not suffer anything like evasion,
or a want of faith, in any such inquiry as that which was
the object of the commission—(liear). The language of
his (Mr. Peers) reference had, however, been com-
plained of as going to justify the suspicions nf the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman. But he must contend, that
at the fiery least they were as comprehensive as ibehe
of the Honourable Gentleman's reference, which lat er
was in these terms—" lnquiey into the dealt and ex-
penses of the Court of Chancery, and the causes thereof."
The object of the commis:ion of last Session was thus
stated—" Inquiry into the tor ms and process of snit,
frcm its first insti ution to its close." Why, these 'terms
surely opened every detail c nutected with the system
of Chancery proceedings, and the Chancery C( irt—
(lkar). Was this all, however ? By no means; for the
reference would be thus and wheter any fart' of
the present jurisdiction of the Court can be rembired."—:.
(Hear). Now, with respect w what had Ireen said about
the pre.ent defective state of the law as to the traester
of landed property, had hi (Mr. Peel) referred' any such
,:xtcauve subject to that Commission to tepoit on, be-

/
