Lord Campbellsaid, that in the Speech from the Throne, delivered on the 3rd of February, it was intimated that measures would be submitted to Parliament for amending the laws relating to bankruptcy, and for the improvement of the Ecclesiastical Courts in England and 121 Wales. They had now arrived at the 7th of March, and no such measures had been brought forward. Had the Government any such in contemplation?
The Lord Chancellorsaid, that a bill had been prepared for the amendment of the bankruptcy laws, which he should submit to the House on Friday next. The bill in reference to the Ecclesiastical Courts was under the care of the Secretary of State, and would be brought forward in the other House as soon as it was ready.
