Lord CASTLEREAGH said, be senvillet
pre-
pared to enterinto the detail of the !dill§ but he con-
ceived that it was certainly better that the money of

than in any other private security. The balance at
present in the hands of the Registrar (Lord- Arden),
which he understood amounted to between-.. 80 and
90,0001. was a sufficient reason for Parliamentary in-
terference and regulation. He did nett, however,
wish the regulations, to take place during ihe'term
by which the office was held by law by its present
possessor. •

present Registrar.

the Noble Lord (Arden) could have any legitimate
interest in the money of suitors in his hinds.. He

cruing since 1777.

gistrar. • • - •
