THE LORD CHANCELLORmoved to Resolve—
That as regards Two Reports of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Mode of taking Evidence in Chancery and its Effects, Doubts being entertained whether Effect can be given to the Recommendations contained in such Reports by General Orders of the Court without the Authority of Parliament; and such Doubts not having been suggested or foreseen until the Commencement of this Month; and it being of the greatest importance that such Doubts should be removed, and that Rules and Orders should forthwith be made for the Purpose of carrying the Recommendations contained in the said Reports, or some of them, into effect; the Circumstances which require Legislation on this Subject appear to this House to be of such real Urgency as to render the immediate Consideration of the same necessary.
§ Resolution agreed to.
§ Bill read 2a (according to Order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House To-morrow.
