CHANCERY REFORMS.

The following are the principal changes contemplated hs•
the Lord Chancellor, in the bills for reform in the abuses of
the Court of Chancery:-
1. The introduction of siva ewe examination (whenever practicable)
into the ordinary prtmas of Chancery suits.
2. The assignment of the care and management of lunatics to a
board to be appointed by the Chancellor, and to be remunerated by a
small per ventage from the lunatics estates.
The suppression of the fourteen sets of Bankrupt Commissioner,
and the appointment of ten Bankruptcy Judges to sit constantly.
4. The appointment by the Court of a disinterested assignee, taken.
suppose, from the London Special Jury list, to act in conjunction with
the assignee elected by the creditors.
5. The addition of an experienced conveyancer to the present number
of Masters in Chancery, to set as Conveyancing Master, and instruct his
brethren in all cases of doubtful title.
6. The other changes principsily concern the offices of Masters' Cleat.,
Six Clerks, and Registrars. The effect will be generally to reduce rite
number of offices, and to substitute fixed salaries for fees—in both ways,
beyond question, relieving the suitor from expense and delay.
