130 THE EXAMINER
-----
enemy; we still see their skirmishers lurking in the ditches,
from which we must drive them; nor are there wanting
deserters of doubtful fidelity, who might stab their new
leaders in the back, should they find an unguarded opportunity.
On these we have our eyes—we will show no quarter
detecting treachery.
As fa as the Chancellor's plans are developed, they will
be best collected from his speech (of which we need not say
that it was luminous, eloquent, and powerfully sarcastic);
they resolve themselves into these heads: The substitution of
a judge of the superior courts of Westminster in certain
cases, for the commissioners of lunatics; the formation of a
board to secure the proper treatment of those unfortunate
wards of the crown; the substitution of ten judges for the
seventy commissioners of bankrupts, and the consolidation of
that jurisdiction in one court; the regulation of the Master's
offices, the Registers, and six clerks, with the general abolition
of fees, copy money, and gratuities; an appellate tribunal
in lieu, or improvement, of the Privy Council; and lastly, the
substitution of viva voce examination, for the present mode of
taking written depositions and affidavits in Chancery. It is
obviously possible to review these maters in detail, within
any ordinary space; we shall yet probably notice them, from
time to time, as they are dicussed in Parliament, especially
if any insidious attempt be made to mar the matter in
committee.
