§ Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaid, in the absence of the Lord Advocate, he would beg to ask the right hon. Baronet the Home Secretary whether it was intended to take measures, either by arrangement for the division of the business, or by the creation of a new Court, to relieve the Court of Session of business which was unequally thrown upon one branch of it?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, his right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Advocate was aware of the inconvenience arising out of the unequal division of business in the Court in question. Last year his right hon. and learned Friend had brought in a Bill on the subject, which, however, had not met with general favour. The subject had since been under his right hon. and learned Friend's consideration, and he believed that, had the Session continued in the ordinary course, it was his right hon. and learned Friend's intention to have re-introduced that measure.
