Lord ELIOT asked if the noble lord would state what sum
the Board of Admiralty would consider to be a fair remunera-
tion.

This question was not answered, and the motion, on being
put by the Speaker, was agred to.
Mr. PAKINGTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to alter
the mode of electing coroners. The principal alterations he
proposed were to shorten the period for taking the votes,
and to have the right of voting the same as that which con-
ferred the franchise for parliamentary elections.

Upon the second reading of the bill for conferring a pc
sion on Lord Keane,

Lord ScYmoua, in a reply to a question from Mr. Hume,
said there was no objection to lay upon the table a record of
the services of Lord Keane.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS,—FRIDAY
On the motion that the trial of the Earl of Cardigan be
printed, Lord ELDON drew the attention of their lordships
to an expression of satisfaction in the address of the Attor-
ney-General at the absence of " moral delinquency" in the
case. He was ready to make all allowance for the feelings
of individuals, but as the house had expressed no opinion on
the subject, and as the trial had gone off on a question wholly
irrelevant, he wished the subject to be noticed; lest it should
be thought that their lordships concurred in the sentiments
to which he referred.
The Bishop of LONDON thought that there had not been ve
in the matter before their lordships any thing which called having fix
for the expression of such an opinion on the part of the At- ceedings,
