IMPRISTESIENT IN TUE LAWS.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that in rising to bring for-
ward his promised motion oa the subject of our laws,
it would be unnecessary for him, to cull attention to its
vast and increasing importance. He individually felt
deeply impressed that the subject was not only the most
important and interesting, but also the most diflicU:t
and the largest which could be brought before their
notice. He felt that he had engaged to bring be-
foie them the whole state of the Common Law as
cenwasclistinguislated irons the Law of Equity—to
point out the defects in its original structure and insti-
tution—and tit inquire into what might be the most
effectual rentedie,. He assured the House that no-
thing comforted him under the immense pressure of
labour so much as the consideration of its vast import-
Mey its eminent eecessity, and the decided conviction
that inquiry should flO longer be deferred. He meant
to deal therefore with the subject in such a manner as
wilfully to offend none—to eiasperate no prejudices,
nor irritate any personal feeling; in fact, be had too
high a respect for the venerable Judges now on the
Bench to adopt any other coarse of proceeding. He
felt some comfort and some confidence on another
groond--he was bringing the subject before many emi-
neat men who were practically acquainted with it—he
ineaat not to cavil with ignorant persons in discussing it
would cast no blame where it was not called for ;
sad it was an unspeakable matter of comfort Ohio that
his statements were all derived from practical know-
ksige of the details of the administration of law, and
Ake/ether without the slightest 'tatter of
.speculation.
Ha piedged himself in no one instance to snake any
single observation,- to denounce any thing, or observe
on any defect, which he could not .personally vouch to
exist and have come within his own knowledge. These
considerations emboldened him on the one hand, and
would make him particularly cautious on the other.
The Equity Law, then. be would only notice when .4
ialtriered with the: administration of the CommonLawi,
sadist was the more inclined to take this course, as it
was stated in another House that a Bill founded upon
sine Orancery Report would be speedily introduced in
that loaf ter. He would also pass over the large and
voluminous chapters of the Criminal Laws, which were
sow in pi ogres, of improvement, and Ire must add, that
