The order for summoning their lordships relative to the propositions on this subject, which lord Grenville had, on a former evening, given notice of his intention to bring forward, being read,
§ Lord Grenville rose ,and observed, that he was under the necessity of still further postponing that which he had intended to submit to their lordship's consideration that evening. It must be obvious to their lordships, that a matter of so nice and complicated a nature as the new modelling the mode of Administration of Justice in a country must require deep and mature consideration, and much consultation with those persons who were most conversant with such topics. He had already devoted much time to the subject; but the variety of other important avocations which equally challenged his attention, prevented him from being able to bring forward the business in as perfect state as he could wish. When he did bring it forward, it would be in the shape of a series of resolutions, upon which he should not press any immediate decision, but merely that they be laid upon the table to be ma- 94 turely considered by their lordships till about the beginning of next session, when, perhaps, he should be able to submit them to the house in the form of a bill. He now thought it would take ten days or a fortnight's more preparation before he could well state his resolutions, but it should not much exceed that time. He should, however, now fix upon a day, and that he meant to be Friday, the 6th of June, for which day he moved that their lordships be summoned to attend.—Ordered.
