MR. HUME called the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the great increase which within the last few years had taken place in the salaries of the Judges. This increase was made with a view of meeting the exigencies of dear times, and cheap times having again returned, he trusted Ministers in any new appointments they might make, would keep that circumstance in view.
LORD ALTHORP observed, in reply to the question, that the public and the house had the best pledge which he could give them, by the course which ministers had taken in the appointment of St. Thomas Denman to the high office of Chief Justice of the King's Bench with a reduced salary.
