THE LORD CHANCELLORmoved that the Commons' Consequential Amendments in this Bill be agreed to. As the Bill originally stood it was provided that the Lord Chancellor should, with the consent of the Chief Judge, make orders touching the forms of procedure of the Court; but of course the appointment of Chief Judge having been struck out of the Bill that provision fell to the ground. Their Lordships had suggested, that for the Chief Judge should be substituted the Lords Justices; but a further alteration had become necessary in consequence of the period at which the Bill came into operation, and for the Lord Justices the Commons had inserted "two of the Commissioners." This Bill had been to him a matter of deep anxiety, and it would now be his duty to endeavour so to frame and regulate the orders of the Court that the fullest scope and operation would be given to the measure, and that it might work as beneficially as possible.
§ LORD CHELMSFORDsaid, that the alterations and Amendments made in the Bill were only such as were absolutely necessary.
§ Amendments considered and agreed to.
