LOC 1L JURISDICTION BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not mean on the present
occasion to do more than move the second reading of this bill.
He had had a communication with his noble and learned friend
(Lord Eldon) on the subject, who had consented to the arrange-
ment.. There were, he knew, some objections to the principle
of the measure, but he thought that he should better consult
their lordships' convenience by postponing the debate on them
to a future occasion. He should, therefore, propose the second
reading of the bill now, and reserve any remarks which he
should have to offer on its provisions until going into the com-
mittee. His lordship7then moved—" That this bill be now read
a second time. • _ _ _ _

Lord LYNDHUI:ST said the custom, he believed, was to discuss
the principle of a bill in this stage, but in the absence of his no-
ble and learned friend, he would not press the discussion of the
measure, although he entertained very strong feelings with re-
spect to it. lle, therefore, did not mean to oppose the second
reading, particularly as he understood that he should stand in
the same situation as he then did when it arrived at the next
stage.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on Monday next.—Adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, Tuts DAY, JUNE 11.

The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes after 12 o'clock.

The private business having been got through, the SPEAKER
said that a petition had been presented relative to the conduct
of a member of that house (Sir T. Troubridge), at the early
sitting yesterday, to which an amendment had been moved, that
the petition be rejected.
On the question being put, a lengthened discussion ensued,
when, a division being called for,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw. A curious scene took
place. When Mr. SPEAKER put the question that the petition
should be received, and requested that the ayes should go below
the bar, even Mr. Cobbett would not leave his place, so that in
point of fact no division took place.—The amendment was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. PEASE presented a petition from Bishop's Auckland and
another place in the county of Durham against the bill for the
general registration of deeds, and a petition from an individual
praying to be relieved from taking oaths.
Mr. INGIIANI rose to present a petition; but
An hon. Member moved that the house be counted out, and
there appearing to be only '29 members present, the house ad-
journed at a quarter past two o'clock. •

The Speaker resumed the chair at five o'clock.

which this bill was to be referred. The names of members
were drawn from the glasses until 21 answered to their names.

lected as the committee.
