HL Deb 09 March 1807 vol 9 c62
The Lord Chancellor

stated that he had received a letter from the lord president of the Court of Session in Scotland, addressed to him as lord high chancellor, purporting to be a Memorial from the College of Justice, which was signed by the lord president and ten other judges, with a note of dissent from the four remaining judges. It adverted to the bill before the house for the better regulation of the courts of justice in Scotland, and stated, that it was of great importance that they should be permitted to lay before the house certain considerations relative to that subject. As he could not, from the form of the memorial, move that it should be now laid upon the table, he wished to receive their lordship's instruction as to the course of proceeding which he should adopt. He therefore moved that the lords should be summoned for the next day.—Ordered.
