COURT OF SESSION, SCOTLAND.

his duty to submit to the house was intended to carry into afi•ct
the recommendation contained in the report of the commission-
ers appointed under a loyal commission to inquire into the state
of the courts of law in Scotland. The learned lord concluded
by moving fur leave to bring in a bid "for making certain al-
terations and reductions in the establishment of clerks and

borwrom, and 'for restraining the arrestment of wages. Leave

Oo the motion of Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the select Committee
on colonial mititary expenditure was ieappoiuted.
Sir J. CAMPBELL brought up the impias,minent for debt bill,
which was read a first time, and ordered lobe read a second time
on Wednesday, the 18th instant; also the bill to awed the law
relating to wills, &c., and the bill to facilitate the enfranchise-
ment of copyholds, butts of which were read a first time, and
ordered to be read A second time on the 11 th instant.
On the motion of Sir T. Freemantle, a return was ordered of
the aggregate amount of. notes issued by private and joint-stock
banks in Englaml and Wales during the past year.
Mr. B. Tucvoa moved for returns of the number of con-
victions which had taken, place during the years 18.3.3 and 18.31
under the sale of beer act; also' a return of the number of li-
censes issued under that act during the same period.
Sir T. FEEEMANTLI6 was understood to object to the first re-
turn, on the ground of the ditfiipity correctly to furnish it. To
the second return he had no objection to offer.
After a few words from Mr. M. Philips, which did not reach
us,

Mr. TREVOR withdrew the motiou for the first return, but
pressed fur the second.
Mr. RUTIIVEIS said that he thought, as the hon. member
meant to ground some important measure on the return, the
subject ought not even now to be entertained at so late an hour
and by so thin a house. Ile should certainly oppose the motion,
unless the hon. member consented to postpone it.
Mr. M. PHILIPS hoped the hon. member for Dublin would
not persist in his opposition, as such a proceeding upon a mere
matter of course would greatly tend to impede the progress of
public bitsincss. (Hear, beat.)
blr. ItrTnvt.:s moved that the house r'do now aujourn.II
The SPEAKER said that the bon. member would perhaps eon•
sent fixing the days upon which certain election petitions
then on the table should
.be taken into consideration, before the
question of adjournment was pot.
The petitions complaining of undue elections and
:returns fur
the boroughs of Kinsale and King's Lynn were then mitered to
be taken ioto consideration on Tuesday, the 7th of April, and
.second petition, complaihiog of an undue electi,,n and return
for the city of Dublin, was ordered to he taken into considera-
tion with the first petition on Thursday, the 19th instant.
The house then adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock to Fri-
day next. •
