PAUL IA MENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, .TUNE 4.

This morning Lord Guttman 53t fur the rut Owl-at:re of Appeals
at ten o'clock.—Prayers were immediately read by the Bishop of
GI OUCESTEZ.

Lord GIFFORD then proceeded to deliver judgments in the ap-
pal of " Smith and otters v. the Bank of Seutlatitl." The appel-
lants were sureties to the abeve Bank f,:r i coutnry aL..tnt who be-
came insolvent, and being anxious to reti...ve themselv,:s from their
responsibility, they refused the demands of the Bank, on the ground
that the bond had not been executed regularly according to the law
of that country. The Court below hail decreed that the bond WAS
well executed, and Lord Citrvoito, af:er n very long and cotnpre-
hensive review of the case, affirmed the judgment of the Court bf
Session with 2001. costs.

" Taylor v. Swinton."—This was an appeal from the Court of
Session, in Scotland, at the suit of the reFoondent, for a libel sal to
have been committed by the appellant to same jodicial proceedings
in that Court, in which the parties were rourtadly cancel-n.. 1. Th. re
was a great deal of ems?. on both sides. but the sole question for
the House now was, whether the rvspon.lert had made nut a rase
sullicientlyrekwant to go before a Jury? that question th-Ceurt below
had decided in the artl.rnative, and tia-irjudginent was now affirmed.
" Geddes v. Meowate."—En this case, which came from the
Court of Session, in S•7otlantl, thy! question was with regard to the
priority of an act of bankruptcy comm,tted in Scotland on another
committed in England, and the Saotch bankruptcy having been
clearly prior, and tho I.N-inn of Session having given to it the pre-
ference accordingly, their judgment to that effect was confirmed by
j this House with 2001. costs.

In the case of " Jeffrey v. Brown," Counsel were fully heard, and
judgment is expected to be given on Wednesday ne%t.

were still less. What the present Bill proposed, was to
give more power to the Judges, for the better adminis-
tration of law. • N-1"
Lord CAWLiOR was unable to discover the princi7
ple of the present Bill, which would introduce so many
anomalies in the jurisdiction of the Principality, and he
hoped that their Lordships would not press such an al-
teration as the Bill proposed to effect. The Noble Lot d
concluded by moving, that instead of the word "now,"
the 0111 should be read a second time this day six
morahs. He would ra!her (his Lordship added) move
an address to his Majesty to appoint, as in the case of
Scotland, a Commission of Inquiry with respect to the
administration of justice in Wales. In regard to the
present Bill, he found as much fault with what it did
not contain as with what it did contain. He saw no
provision made for adding to the weight of the Judges,
and without this provision he was unwilling they should
possess mote power. It would be better, in his opinion,
to transfer the whole law business of the Principality to
the Courts in Westminster Hall, than to adopt the pro-
visions of the present Bill.
Lord REOESDA LE defended the jurisdiction of the
incipality, to which he confessed be felt some par-
tiality, having some Welsh blood in his veins, as well
as the Noble Lord (Cawdor), who had objected to the
Bill. With respect to the speedy recovery of small debts,
for instance, the system of judicature in Wales was so
satisfactory, that he wished it could be transferred to
England, and adopted here. During his acquaintance
with the Welsh Circuit, he had e:er been treated with
respect. Ile was of opinion that justice in Wales was
administered much better than it it devolved on the
Courts of IVestriiinster Hall. He was, therefore, of
opinion, that the present Bill ought to be suffered to
go into a Committee.
The LORD CHANCELLOR here put the questit n
that the %%old ‘• now" _Land part of the motion with re-
spect to the second reading of the Bill, when the Noble
and Learned Lord intimated that the 44 Contents" had
it ; but Lord CAWDOR persisting in taking the sense of
the Houk, their Lordships divided as follows—

Contents ...........^_9 Non-Contents 8.
Alaj.ority for the second reading
The above-otentione.l Bill was thereupon read a second time,
and ordered to be committcd for Thursday nest.
