which hadinduced his Majesty's Ministers to bring forward this

Al*Write. OF TrIS ROLLS IN IRELAND.
The Report of the Committee ou the Act of the
41st of the King was brought up and taken into
ConsideratlOn.
Mr. PEEL moved that the Report be agreed to.
Mr. HORNER said, be still saw no ground for
increasing the salary of the Master of the Rolls in
Ireland. The only ground stated was, that the
Master of the Rolls in- that country should be on the
same footing with the Master of the Rolls In Eng-
land ; but as the business was not the same, he saw.
no reason for this equaltzation of :slaty.
-Mr. PEEL stated the universal satisfaction given
in Ireland by the present Master of the Rolls, from
wriuse decisions Mete had only been three appeals.
The increase of salary' was partly as a consideration
for being deprived of the power of selling the appoint-
ment to the office of Six Clerks.
Sir SAMUEL ItOMELLY said, since the time
Lard Ken)on was Master of the Rolls in England,
toe (Alice or Six Clerks had never been sold by any
person in that judicial situation. The Act of Henry
Vt. declared all sales of that description.illegal, Willi
certain exemptions, of which this was not one. He
did not think that such a circumstance ought to be
taken into consideration in fixin the salary of the
Masttr of the Rolls in Ireland. Ihe number of up-
- peals was no criterion to go by. The number of ap-
peals, for instance, would not be found to have been
so great from the late as from the present Master of
the Rolls in England, because the causes before the
latter were out °f all proportioq more numerbus. It it
was said, that the duties of the Master of the Rolls
Ireland were s.' great that the salary could not be
considered a sufficient compensation, this might be
some ft/4KM for an increase ; but this was not even
piete..ded. The duties of the same Judge in Eng-
land must be at least three times as great. The Ju
•c.icial Officers ought to be entirely independent of
