Mr. Broughamobserved, that in the last Session, a bill had come down from the other House, for effecting an alteration in the existing system of the Court of Chancery. That bill disappeared almost immediately. He now understood that another bill which had been in the present Session introduced into the other House, was also about to be withdrawn. In this situation of uncertainty, those who in that House wished to make some reform in the law knew not how to shape their course. He therefore begged leave to ask, if one Chancellor of his Majesty's Government could inform him whether the measure introduced by another Chancellor was likely to proceed?
The Chancellor of the Exchequersaid, he knew nothing whatever of the rumour to which the learned Gentleman alluded.
