§ MR. WATKIN WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is aware that 1768 the accumulation of arrears before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is greatly on the increase, to the serious pecuniary loss of the suitors; and, whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to propose any measure in the present Session to remedy this grievance?
MR. BRUCE, in reply, said, although the arrears were still considerable, they had recently rather decreased than increased as he was informed. It was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to introduce a Bill this Session on the subject.
