§ Sir J. Graham,in moving for leave to introduce a bill "for remedying defects arising from the misprision of Officers in recording Fines and Recoveries in Wales and Cheshire, and for better recording the same," said, that under the ancient jurisdiction of fines and recoveries, there had been very gross neglect. When he said neglect, he used the mildest term, for he had reason to believe that some very improper transactions had taken place in that department; so much so, that many titles had been jeopardised. In providing a remedy great care should be taken not to injure those titles which had been affected. This was a subject of the greatest importance, and he had not introduced this bill without first consulting the highest legal authorities.—Leave given.
§ House adjourned.
