§ The Marquis of Lansdown, wished to put a question to the noble and learned Lord on the Woolsack, relative to the projected Amendments in Law Procedure. In one of the reports of the Real Property Commissioners, they had suggested some most valuable regulations relative to fines and recoveries, the levying and suffering of which were attended with great delay and expense, and hazard. Among the bills brought into the House for carrying into effect the legal improvements, he did not perceive that there was one on the point which he had mentioned; and he wished to know from the noble Lord, whether he had it in view to bring for- 1190 ward a bill on that head in the course of the present Session?
The Lord Chancellorreplied, that he had no intention to propose a measure of the kind at present, and the reason was, that the Amendments suggested by the Real Property Commissioners were so much connected with each other, that it was hazardous to legislate on one point until they had a general view of the whole, and this had been suggested by the Commissioners themselves in their first Report. But the noble Marquis might be assured that he would pay every attention to the subject.
