The Home then resumed the adjourned debate on the
Resolutions• relative to the Arrears of Appeals from
Scotland.
Lord COLCHESTER rose to deliver his sentiments
on this subject. He began by noticing the number of
Appeals before that House; in deciding these be hoped
the House would still continue to derive assistance from
the Noble and Learned. Lord on the woolv.tir ; and it
would be for their Lordebips to consider whether they
could with propriety suffer the Lord Chancellor to be
absent from that House in the hearing of Appeals ; and
whether if would pot be better to allow the Lord Chan-
cellor to bare assistants in his Court, so as to en•
able I-int to devote more time to the legal business of
that House.

Lord REDESDALE observed that many coropleints had
been made reppecting delays in the Court of Chancery ; but
he declared that nothing could be more unjust than that
charge: the great increase of population and wealth of the
country had caused a proportionate increase in local proceed-
ings ; end it was for tneir Lordships ao consider whether
bummed facilities ought not to he afforded for transacting
the badness of tbe Court of Chancery, so as to relieve that

Ml. There was no doubt but that there was some cause
shish Increased the quantity of appeals from Scotland in a
meshgreater proportion than those from England ; and
searalWs should be done to obviate this great incoaveni-
ease. It was supposed that the law of Scotland was the law
et a ride people ; but it had since been found that this was
the law of a polished people. Tee feet was, that the law of
Seethed was compounded of the ancient simple Common
Law, and the ROOlllll Law ; that wai found to be a bad
alsalgamation, and it produeed the incooreniences always
cosmlaitied of. The &moan Civil law was not the law of
Scotland, it was mixed with it in the reign of James V. and
a very bad mixture it was. tt would be then for Parliament
to cowedthis anomaly with respect to the trial by Jury in
Scotland, it osgb, not to be left to a distinct Court. It
ought to exist to the Court of Sessions; and it would be the
greatest relief to that, or any other Court. to be assisted In
the ascertainment of facts by Juries. He did not believe
that the people of Scotland disliked the trial by Jury ; bat
they wished that it might be comfortable to their laws and
usages. The trial by Jury is Ireland was productive of some
inconvenience, bessuse the Irish people hod very lively ima-
gleations, and were fn the habit of expressing their thoughts
before they came to give their decisions on the topics con-
nected with them. Hut be believed those habits were grow-
ing out of use. There were comparatively very few appeals
from Ireland ; the great mass of appeals came from Scot-
land, and It was for the House to cheek that extreme accu-
mulation, and to save the House from the embarrassment
under which ittaboured. The Corset of Chancery had for
many years greatly increased in business. Upon a esicula-
ties of a then before the House, it would take five
years to dispose of them • than it might be expected that.,
many more appeals would come in ; and their Lordships
would neglect their duty if they did not adopt some plan for
speedily disposing of the same. He knew that a great In-
coevenience

Judge on appeals, whet) hp could not address the House as
• Peer. According to the rifildent stage of the Hone, such
person might give his opleleal ors any question that might

Peer, It would be uttedg Impossible for a Judge attending

piptble Obt their Lordships to conceive how arduous and
*awaite the duties of a Lord Chancellor were. As to the
ritiaa recounnended bi the Committee for discharging the
*Treat of business before that House, he thought it would be
better to adopt it thaw bete no plan at all ; because, ac-
cording to an old proverb, a bad dinner was hence than no
dinner; and therefore.he should support the Resolution.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said their Lordships hod no
coaceptios bow many bong a Judge who sat to hear appelti

House, in considering of those appeals; and if he was
obliged to sit fiver ays every week is that House on such
crases,tt soul.' be impossible for him to transact the business
of his Court. '
The Berl of ABERDIMN, in explanation of what he had
said the preceding del,•, declared it as a fact that the trial by
Jury in Scotland had completely railed i at the same time he
did not pretend to say, bat that under proper regulations it
mittlitbe sneeessfal in time.
REDRSDALE explained.
Lord lILLENDO ' Uh4,l thought, from all be bad
toillirt
heard, that there :be a Speaker and a Deputy
Speaker IN that ; soul if the Deputy Speaker were
to 'bear ap - t inconvenience might arise from his
decisions 0 'ected to by the Speaker. It was evi-
dent at no efficient plan bad come before their
Lords ' ' for deciding appeals, and that 'Milting but
con n could arise from what was recommended. He
wished to know whether the Deputy Speaker was to be
a Peer or a Commoner, and if he was a Commoner, what
power was he to pessess ? He had s strong objection to
see a Contemner in the Chair of the House, and three
Peers sitting day by day ai his Asiestprs. Nothing could
be more absurd than a Court of Justice so constituted ;
with *Judge not baring a vote, and three jurors chang-
ed every day, and some of them at last called on to der
tide a cause which they had not beard ; and in Which the
presiding Ju4ge bad they
pewee to decide. The great
difficulty of the case atose front the circumstance of the
Cbaseellor being sometimes there, and sometimes in, the
Court of Chancery ; and being always supposed to be
present in both places. The present Chancellor was the
fittest person to hear Scotch appeal% and therefore it
was extraordinary that it should be required to give up
the business in that House to be performed 6v other..
when he might be more conveniently relieved by others
in the Court of Chancery. He haul a great objection t 1
the project of compelling Peers to attend on appeals ; for
many Peers would sooner pay the penalty of 51. than come
to give their attendance oh appeals. Out his chief ob-
jection was to having a Commoner in the chair ; because
it would destroy the judicial functions of the House of
Lords,

The Earl of RIASSLIN contended for the right of ap-
peal from Seotland, for the general opinion in that coun-
try was, that it could not exist avithout such right, be-
cause the people had not sufficient confidence in their
own tribunals. An objection bad been mode to Common-
ers sitting as Judges on appeals in that House; but
there litabeen many Judges there before who tried
causes very ably, and who were Commoners. The ques-
tion was, whet remedy should be adopted ? Their Lord-
anzwore in filet compelled to have recourse to some rc-

ire had tbe best hopes from the proposed alteration in
the Court of Sessioh in Scotland, aed also from the trial
by jury in that country, on which point he wholly OW

would allow it so to be said that an appeal to that House

He always considered this part of the 'ovation as merely
a temporary expedient to get rid of the appeals. 'nor
measure was far from being free of objections ; bet it
appeared to be the least objectionable of any that could
be adopted. As to having a Deputy Speaker, such an
officer would be indispensably necessary, because i:
would he impossible for the Lord Chancellor to sit in
that House five days in a week ; and be could not secs
any objection to the Deputy Speaker being is Commoner.
The Chief Justice of the Court of King's B'ncb was a
Deputy Speaker though not a Peer • and he hal during
the occasional gbsence of the Lord Chancellor, from
indisposition, sat and beard appeals in that House.
Some of the greatest legal characters that ever distin‘
guished themselves in Westminster Hall, had sat in the
House as Deputy Speakers. Hp had such a high opinion
of the office of Lord Chancellor, that he would evef
resist the idea of dividing, or paring it down ; all the,
functions belonging to the office should be maintained ;
and the present arrangement being a temporary cape,
dient, could be no infringement on the office. As to the
cow ulsory attendance of Peers, he was decidedly of
.•limies that it "not to be enforced. His Lordship then
rod the first Resolution, which we, that the House
should sit every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs-
day, sad Friday, during each Session, for tbd purpose
of hearing appeals.

I were now about to lay down a principle *hie)! would
undermine an their proceedings; and he should niipose
the plan now proposed, particulay the comulsory
part of it, which was inconsistent with the rigb:s
of that House.
The first and second Resolutions were then agreed to.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL 'then moved the third
Resolution, which went to compel the atteretance of
Peeri, and he said he should postpone the eemaining
Resolutions to another day.
Lord HOLLAND said be should oppose that Reso-i
IE4O lotion, as being contrary to the of that House,
and derogatory from the dignity Member& The
Noble Lord might as well attempt . Piers to to

.Their Lordships divided on this - motion : -eCOntents,
27—Non-contents, 11.—Majority, 16.
At 10 o'clock the House adjourned.

the result was that the lion. Member was as mistaken in h's
