§ Lord Stanley moved, that the Sheriff's Court Bill be recommitted, to enable a clause to be introduced to extend the jurisdiction of the courts of the County Palatine of Lancaster. A Bill had been passed, giving to the Court of Common Pleas at Lancaster corresponding powers to those exercised by the Court at Westminster. He wished the title of the Act to be inserted, and the provisions of the Bill to be referred to it.
§ Mr. Jerviswished the same provision to be extended to all courts which have now power to direct issues to be tried before the sheriffs, to the amount of 20l., and moved an instruction to the Committee to that effect.
Lord Stanleyobjected. He was fully prepared to carry out his own proposition, which he was not aware that the hon. and learned Member was, with respect to the extension of the power to the courts he referred to.
§ The House divided on Lord Stanley's motion. Ayes 50; Noes 14:—Majority 36.
