REtORMATION (tr THE STAIHTS LAWS.

Earl STANHOPE rose, pursuit to the Greet
of the Day, to call the attention of their Lordships
to a subject of the gravest and deepest importance
which could be brought betore them. The evils
arising out of the present condition of .he Seiture
rr Book were multiplied and enorneets eerie t calculi,-
tumor expressitsn, and celled imperiously for a pi omee
and efficient remedy. It was a satisfaction ta him,
in contemplating the subject, that he had precedents
before him, and especially one by a Nobl Varon,
not then present, who had introduced a motion ia
lso9 for ceiling upon the Judges to redoes. into one
Act of Parliament all the laws which v.sited offences
with the punishment ot death. Another pteced,nt
I %Ifni, that which he himself had, in a t ..tnee Session,
' introduced, and which the House adopted, ot corn.
prehending under one Act all the laws relative to
punislimeut by the pillory. The Judges did prepare
such a Bill, though it wts not presented until some
time after the ctenmencenient ot the present Session.
To that Bill, the Learned Judges were pleased to add
an observation of their own, which was, that the
punishment by the pillory had been sancti,ined by
common as well as by Statute Law. They stated
besides, in a short paper, a few cases which they re-
marked were all that they knee/ ot, though they ad..
mitted there mieht be others. The confession was
certainly honest, and he bad to thank-those Learned
Persons for their candour. But there wete two most
important Acts, namely, the '2J and Slat of George
11. of which no notice at all had been taken by then..
By those Acts, perjury and subornation of perjury,
were punishable by transportation. Ey the lit el
George 11. forged letters, and perjury for the per.
pose' of receiving sailors' wages, were punislinase
with death. It was far from his intention to cast
any blame upon the Learned Judges, but lie coe;a
not help lamenting, that after six mouth: considere•
tion of the subject, they had not come to any deci-
sion so as to intorm the House what the laws were
in those important cases. -The Statute: Eaok %vas
grossly deficient and inconsistent, and ought, with-
out delay, to be reduced to some clear and iatellt-
gible antral. He remembered having formerly cad.
tiequent consultations with a most learned m
whom he should ever remember with giatittide, the
late Lord Chief Baron Eyrr. He had often asked
that learned pLison, as well as the other Judges of
his time, questions relating to the Statute Laws, and
could hardly ever find them agreeing with each utter
in a single point. Fin instance, he had put the
lowing question 3—Whether a person on his own
estate, converting clay into bricks, became thereby
a trader ? Upon that question, the Judges of the
Common Pleas were directly opposed to 'nose of the
King's Binch. It any thing more particularly than
another could illustrate the complexity, the abuses,
and the intolerable evils of the Statute Book, is
would be a little book, of which most of their Lord-
ships had at least heard something ; namely, tiler':
Abridgement, in '2O volumes, folio; and which, it the
Abridgement were continued to the present period,
might possibly be compacted within about :00 folios.
But the late Mr. Dunning, one of the ablest Law-
yers this country ever'produced, was accustomed to
speak both of l'ine'r Abridgement, and 'of the Ori-
ginal Book itself, with the contempt which was due
to them. The same was also the opinion of the late
Lord Thurlow, who used to apply to the Statute
Book a term which he should not there repeat, but
content himself with calling it a Blank Statute Book.
if such were the opinions of Lord Tnurlow and
.Mr. thinning, and it the Learned Judges of the pre-
sent day, after six months' deliberation, could come
to nothing conclusive on the subject, it must cer-
tainly follow in their Lordships' judgments, th it it
was high time that some effectuti measure should
be taken to reform a system so complex, so erro-
neous, and contradictory ; a system not consisteat
with the Lir ends of justice, but calculated only
to promote litigation and the views of designing
and peulfoggiag Attornies.., .Much of the evils
with tespect to cases, might be avoided by the it:-
union of a clear and intelligible clause, a methiel
observed by the Duke of Bedford, and %illicit, if
become general, would abundantly reduce ane
practice of Litigators and Special Pleaders.---
Their Lordships would remember the legal difference
of Opinion that prevailed as to Mr. Pox's India Bill.
A famous Yorkshire Jawyer, Jack Lee—(a
not a mail in small repute, for he had been Attorney.
General—had said,ahat, as to chartered rights, what
were they.* " a mere piece of parchment, with a bit
of wax hanging to a string from it A s'iiewd
Scotchman of the name of Henry Dundes, followed
up this by asking, in his Northern dialect, " And
pray, what is an attorney when he is Urged. hut a
man dangling at the end of a string ?—(Laughing. )
. But the object was.to do as much as possible *jai-
-1 out the man dangling at the end of the string I--
Great abuse prevailed in the practice of qui taw law.
By that law, as it' stood at present, a pecuniary fine
