by Lard Monravn and others.

COURT OF ZICNEQUISR IN SCOTLAND.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then said, he had to
submit his Bill for the abolition of the Court of Exchequer
in Scotland. It was not unknown to their lordships that
when the union of Scotland took place there was a provi.
sion that soon after the union a Court of Exchequer should
be formed. Accordingly, in tire 7th of Anne that court
was established. The judicial business of the court was not
like that in the English Court of Exchequer. It had little
business of a judicial nature. In three months there were
but three defended causes. The whole business might be
performed by one baron, in one day in the week, during
six months in the year. In consequence of this state of the
business, it had occurred to his Majesty's government, with
his entire cooeurrence, that steps ought to be taken for re-
lieving the country from the burden imposed by this court.
The Mkt Baron, and the Patine Barons, bad a right to'
, their retiring allowaims and, in order to enable those per.
eons to Mks, it triad be necessary to modify the Act of
the 11111thond thillietheorge 111. That was one object of
the ENE Moan stint was, to prevent the places of the
lesiaedilithilkiliellieledng fined up. The intention was, if

• die joy* The noble and learned lord concluded by
meth* tie Bill be read a second time.
It was mthedingly read, and ordered to be printed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then apologised for
trespassing on the house in the matter of Mr. Michael
&oda, the Yorkshire Magistrate, whose cue was brooghtt
before the Lords some days since, upon the compliant the
Earl of Harewood, that Mr. Stocks had been placed upon
' the Commission of the Peace, without consulting him, the
I Lord Lieutenant of the comity of York. The noble and
learned bird was induced to mention the subject, in con.
sequence of some incorrect observations having been made
upon a former occasion. The individual complained of
the inaccuracy. and It was but justice to set the matter
right. It was stated the Doe of Mi. Stocks. an attorney.
sent a letter to the Orand Jury, prior to their finding a bill
against his father. The fact was, that the letter was not
sent by the son, who was an attorney, but by another son,
a coal notches.. The noble and learned lord bad received
several communlcatioos, in one of which, Mr. Stocks stated
that Lord Harewood met him at Pontefract, and compli.
mental him on his ercelleot conduct as a magistrate, by
which he bad preserved the peace of the county. It was
thettfore remarkable in the view taken by Mr. Stocks, that
the noble earl should have called is question his restoration
to the commission by the present Lord r. It also
appeared that Mr. Stocks had been struck of the toenails.
Hon by the noble and learned lord, his predecessor, (Lord
tyndhunt) without consulting the Lord Lieutenant (lord
Harewood.) That proceeding did not call for any cons.
plaint on the part of the noble earl, although the placing
him on the commission did. It would appear from that
eiregiestance that one porbon might do what another should

oohing to do with striking him ,of the commission ' • and

tenant, the noble earl considered that usual as standing
upon a footing different from the act of placing' him again
on the commotion. He disclaimed all animosity towards
Mt. Stocks. He had asked oe &former day why the boot
Chancellor did insert Mr. States name without whine;
to the Lad Lieutenant. Viet question he Would 'AA
The noble and learned ' applaud to have

The LOUD CHANCELLOR would• not allow that he

wee ids' Pleasure to rest** tit* indrridnaL It would

be most inconvenient, if, when the L. el Chancellor ap
pointed a n:agistrate, that appointment v a, to be made sub
set of discussido in parliament.
The Earl of HAREWOOD explained. The inference
with respect to himself was, that he had opposed the ;tenon
whose name had been mentioned for election purposes. If
the noble and learned lord really thought he had acted untler
such influence, the noble and learnsd lord ought to advise
his Slajerey to take his COOlnliiMen front him.
The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to defend the con-
duct of a noble and learned :mild, not then in the house.
His Grace thought this discussion should not have been in-
troduced in the absence of that noble and learned lord
(I.yndhurst.) Jr must be in the recollecion of their I ord -
ildps that his noble friend stated, on a former der, that he
received a letter from Judge Bayley respecting the ir.dict-
molt against 'Mr. Stocks for perjury, and that it was pray.. d
that individual had sent a letter to the Grand Jury, whilst
the charge against hint was sub judies. The noble duke had
seen the papers, and one of the jurors had stated, that Mr.
Rocks's eon, an attorney, 'had put into his hands one of
the questions to be put by the Grand Jury to witnesses.
thought his noble friend justified in striking Mr. Stocks t ff
the Commission.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said be had not used a
single word against the noble and learned lord, and l e
thought a person who had been misrepresented in a tit hate
in that house might have justice done him, netwithst.srding
the absence of any noble lord on the circus..
After a protracted conversation, in which the Lord Chan-
cellor, Earl Harewood, the Duke of Wellington. and Lord
Wynford took put,
• Lord ELDON Said that the responsibility of filling up
the commissions of the peace rested entirely with the
Great Seal; mad fir that very reason he (Lord Eldon) in
~Irarded every Cue with which he was concerned, when he held
the seals. bad unifounly consulted the Lord Lieutenant
of the county.
The LORD CHANCELLOR again explained—before

After a few words from the Marquis of CLEVELAND,
Earl GREY said. it appealed to kiln the the beat at-
tention be had been able to bestow on the sobjece,oo ground
of complaint could be made against his noble friend on the
woolsack, as ;hewing disrespect to the Lord Lieutenant of
the West Riding of York.
