Mr. N. A. TAYLOR role to call the attention of
the Hoese to a sehject of meth importance. namely,
to delays in tie Coert of Chancery,. lie att,ibeted
all this delay to the presser. of Motions in Chancery,
which no lumen strength could bear, end from which
Parliament ought to relieve the Chancellor. Ile could
prove this before • Committee lilt were granted him;
and also that be had known families that bad been
raised by therm...ire charges of this Court. lie had
at presto, however, to ask the House whether, by se.
pouting the bankrupt business from the Great Sal,
they 'odd sot enable the Chancellor to espedite the
business of the Covet. It was recollected, no doubt,
that the Bill for establishing • Vice. Chancellor was
opposed strongly. on the ground that it would cause
a revulsion on the Chancellor', Court ; and it so
Weed out: for abets the Vice. Chancellor less up.
pointel, there werebet 35 appeals in surer; now there
were 101. Ile would undertake to s..y that, with all
his knowledge and talent, the Lord Chancellor could
est get through these appeals In two years. He knew
that no human strength could do It ; end, therefore,
he contended that the Vice-Chancellor's Court had
effected no relief. The Chancellor was the chief ad-
viser of the Crown—he must attend to political mat-
ters-I.e bad the custody of lunatics—the career in-
fents—bankrept caws, sod cases in equity to decide;
nod be maintaioed that the Lord Keeper of the Gloat
Seal ought not to have any venation with politics.
Sae Ibis time of Lad Hard • ick e, the number of be tik.
reptcy cases, motions, end appeals, bad more than
doubled. If the present Lord Chancellor could not
get through the bosinest, who could ? Nn one
doebted his talents ; he was conalaot I) in ettenslessee ;
and therefore the ',stem must be wrong. The Lord
Cheadle', In giving a joslg lent, had alluded to his
notice of motion., and had said that there vials great
irritation in the public mind, and that if baukrept
badness,s were taken from tile, it must be gisen to
• competent person. No rho was • greater fumy
to popular irritation then he (Mr. Taylor), sod had
he ever wished to eptisint any but • competent per.
son ? But surely a person of that kind might rally
be found for the 70001. a.year the Chancellor re.
coifed. If he did not prove bit allegations before a
Committee, he would never °pea his mouth io the
House again Ile would nut, if be ion his motion,
stiffer it to sleep, bet would bring it forward in va-
rious Wipes until the Howse and the country should
be satisfied that something ought to he dome.—
He •ished it to be shawls whether the delays arose
with the Court, or with the Solicitors of it. A rause
might be set down in the paper. bat it could not be
beard for ten years. One cause respecting a bent.

had no sppeel from the Court of Chancery. 'I he
suitors from Scotism', Ireland, sod the Coals of
Law, had appeals; bat this. fesa Ike Court of
Chancery had no appeal, Saimaa ess the same Judge
had to acid* ie both place.. In 1752, there was
hardly three millions of the 'tomboy of Chancery
suitors in the Beak of England ; now there were
above 32 aiihions of that looney lodged there. One.

money paid let. the Galin at that time, when he Cu.

Coed of Chancery ender similar circumstances--

There • man in the House, or out of it, "she could

therefore, his motion was to be opposed, let them go
um a Committee, to ate whet relief could be Wooded
to this and all future Chancellors. Ile was credibly
I informed there were between 4 and bOO eases of es.
Irises kiwis now before the Court of Chancery. He
had received the opinion of Judges, the most distin.
geisha, Lawyers, and Solicitors, and all agreed that

✓isitors its equity, Dodd mot proceed as it eight to
do. estest the aste was separated from the Judge
who had to decide the other. He then moved that
the House should resolve itself into a Committee. to
