LORD BROUGHAMsaid, he wished also to call their Lordships' attention to the question of the County Court commitments, which was a matter deserving of consideration, as well from the extent and variety of 141 the interests which these local jurisdictions affected, (nearly 800,000 for near two millions of money, last year) as from the fact that the Judges in their decisions appeared to be guided by entirely different principles. He found that in one court the proportion of commitments to the number of suits was only one in 230, while in another it was one in 23; being exactly ten times the number. He begged to move an Address for Return of the Questions addressed to the County Court Judges on the subject of Commitments.
§ Motion agreed to.
