idrratina (.1 the Revit should be postponed. and
that it the stern time it should be printed, and a copy
scot to each member.

Mr. JACKS seconded the amendment.
Mr. WAITIIMAM supported the motion. Tte Re
port offered no opinion on the part of the Committee
Pt only, stated facts, and referred ro the Acts of Par-
liament.. When the Committee should report what
further steps should be taken, 'died would be the time
to canvass the subject. The law was quite right as'
at preeent constructed, but it coutsilaed- no provisions,
to enforce it. The men acting as special Jut les
might be fair and honourable, but that was not the
question. The thing was wrong—(Hear, hear.) If
no evil had yet existed (and none would be bold
enough to make the assertion) they were called upon
to put the thing right before the evil became so emu
mous as to defeat their utmost efforts. If the officer'
in the Crown Office could say it was his right, nay,
his duty, to select men that were to act as a Jury,
what chance was there of lateness, impartiality, or
justice t 'l'hey should recollect, that it was in the
course of 33 days that some sat 511.53, and 55 times,
'on a Jury. This was a trade. They pat eight or
ten guineas a day in their pockets.
Mr. Htnrcimint supported the motion. Even Mr.
Collingridge admitted all the fasts.
Mr. Haavav explained why his name was not to
the „Report. H. was .apprehensive that an alarm
might be created among mercantile men by-the pro.
specs .1 any change in the mode of trying mercantile
questions.
Mr. Fovea. saw no reason why honest and inde-
pendent men should be thought an illegal Jory, be.
cause the fantastical distinctions of writersor speakers
might class them as the democracy. He supported
the motion.

Sir Tuostas Betz thought the Report exceedingly
important, •and therefore wished it to be printed and
distributed before any further steps were adopted.
On the question of the Amendment being put,
there were about a dozen for it' and all the other
thanbers of a pretty full Council against it.
.The original motion was then put. All appeared
to be for it. Four hands were shewn against it.

The remains of the late Mr. Lawson, one of the
Proprietors of then/es, who died soddenly on Satur-
day last, are, we understand, to be accompanied to the
grave to-morrow by a number of respectable friends,
who had an . opportunity of appreciating that Gentle-
man's worth, and by whom he was highly esteemed.
