MUST of our readers will recollect the strenuous efforts made by the‘ late Hon Robert Baldwin, while. in power, for the purpose of effecting;r reforms in the Court of Chancery; and it isgeneraély admitted that extensive alterations are still re- lsequt-nce, to renIer its author nu- ] i' .,‘ popular among,r a large proportion quired before it can be really, as well as nominally a “court of equity.” I‘ts delays and disap- pointments have beeome proverbial, and so general is the dread enter- tained of its: perilous uncertainties, that many an individual would pa-. iiently submit to almost any amount of imposition and loss rather than venture into the intricate meshes of a Chancery suit. We therefore bait with delight any movement in- tended to remove. the abusesthat have by degrees crept into this tri- bunal, in whatever quarter it may originate, and by whatever party-it, may be supported. We have been led to make these. remarks by the, fact, that Mr. Mowat has given no- tice in the House of his intention to- introduce a bill, during .lre present session, for the purpose of allowing foreclosure of mortgage to take place without the necessity of in“. curring the expense of a suit in eliancery. This bill, which is quite lengthy and comprehensive, was. brought. forward last session and de- feated, chiefly, it is said, through _ tliré‘inlluenee of the lawyers, whom, its passage wouiddeprive of a very prolific source of income. We are at all times preparedto accord to our opponents the credit t0'~ which they are entitled for good intentions; and although Mr. Mowat has the mis- fortune to be associated with the Clear Grits, we are not the less willing. to contribute our quota of praise for» any endeavor on his part to confer upon the. country a- useful and much needed law. Those. who are unacqriainted with the Operation of the existing. statutes- re‘latin‘g to': Lower Canadians dead against it. ject. is‘aotually mooted. With scarce- ' ly an exoeption, ministerialists and the vast amount oftitigation and ex-l pensc that will be saved by the pro-, posed bill. For the sake of il_lus-" l'l'tatllIOl], let us suppose a, case An, ovviier of property sells on time, gives a deed, and takes a mortgage as security for the payniient of the, purchase money. At the expii'u-’ iion of the .llttttl, the purchaser is unable to meet his engagements, but refuses to relinquish possession. One would naturally suppose that the original owner would be fully entitled to recover possessibti to the property, together with a full title“ according, to the terms specified in But no such thing. Although he may i'ieVer have re- Ccived a dolla; for it, and although the inorgaee j_)lainly states that. he is fully entitiel to recovc' it ngain,un- less the conditions ii'iteiitioned therein are fntlilh-d ; yet he cannot . . . ., ~ . . | bill in Chancery, and availing the decision of that ‘couri 7; tlic‘costs of which will nitrouut perhaps to forty six months to two years.

A bond for a deed holds precisely the same position as f a 'i‘r‘iortgage, requiring to be fore- closed in the same manner, and in- volving similar delay and expense. We have attlie present irroiiieut, in our mind‘s- eye. a bouafide C'dsr‘. ex- hibiting the injustice oi the present practiCe in regard to this species of security also, which we will give brie-ll , orriittino the real nairies of. O the bullets. About seven years since A sold a town lot to B for $900, payable in five years,witli in- terest, and gave a bond for a deed The interest was paid during three years; when B failed in bosiiicss, and was unable to pay it any longer. At the end of the live yearsfi neither the remainder of the interest nor any of the principle was paid ;i , - - . 1ments, such as placrng straw in the but B refused to give up possession. A sought legal advice, and found that he could not recover his title without a suit of foreclosure. llis solicitor accordingly filed a bill on his behalf, antl at the end of eight .lt'lttnllts he received a lilthJ'tH’XIJIIC court: t be whole expenses burnout- iug to $5200. Thus A has not only lost‘thc Use of his property. and all chances of selling it for six years, but, it has actually cost him $200 to get it back again. Now, few unpi'cjudiced persons will hesitate to admit that a law which perm-its the" pci'peiration of such glaring and palpable wrongs, under the name of equity, deiiiunrls an iiii-_' tt'lt‘dl'dlt‘ and thorough reformation.

It is to be hoped, therefore, that it. will not be regarded from a mere party point of view, but that it will be discussed entirely upon its own merits; and if its details are found to be such as will St-‘Qtl-l‘e the objects proposed in? the bill». it will meet with the unaâ€"i niinous srrpp‘ort of all parties, rc-j gardless of the political creed of the member with whom it has, originated.

The debate lias been keenâ€" Mr. Cartier, as a irrattei‘ of course, speaking strongly against it. The Lower Canadian opposition are also against it to a man, which proves conclusively that the two-(lays go- vernment of the Clear Grits was without. principle or honor. as it is iitipossible that those gentlemen, who-now sneak bitterly against it, shone in 1858 have udvoeatedit.

Should this be one it will,\ve nope, receive a cordial support from all parties. in the Upper House nothing ‘mate- rial has transpired, except. that one of the opposition (Mr. Maed-onald) made a fool of liiinselfby proposing that “ all persons holding offices of ei‘nolui’ncnt under the Crown be ex- cluded therefrom.” The Legisla- tive Council wisely tlireWOm such an outrageous proposition by 40 to 4.

In cheny’s pocket was. found a bottle Containing l an ounce of ltâ€"ludal'ltlltt, but when full the bottle Would hold two ounces and a-half.
