Montgomery George Johnitone, Efql S Nominees. !rands Horner, Efq SCOTCH CLIRCT SILL. Mr. KENRICK prefentad a Petition from the Commiffion of the General Meathly of the Church of Scotland, praying that the Scotch Clergy Bill pending before that Honourable Houfe, may not be paired into a law, as luch would be, in the apprehen finn of the Petitioners, produltive of divers effects injurious to the rights of the Clergy of the Churoh of Scotland, and further praying that Petitioners might be heard by their C:unfel at the Bar of that Houk againft laid Bill. Mr. W ILBERFORCE laid, he had not yet had fulficient opportunity of acquiring the neceffary in formation upon the fubjeil ; but that from the little information be had obtained, he was induced to think that it would be more advifeable to hear coon fel before the Houfe fhould go into a Committee on the Bill, becaufe then Gentlemen would in that cafe be in polfelton of the leading objeetions urged by the petitioners againtl the bill, and perhaps it would appear that all fuck might be fo modified in the committee, as entirely to fatisfy all parties —an objeCt that, whe ther he confidered the charaCler of the learned Lord with whom the Bill origiaated, or the great refpec tability of that clafs of men who had now petitioned againft it, was with him one of no iaconfidetable im portance: The SPEAKER felt it his duty to acquaint :he Houfe, that as the bill in queflion bad been read a fecond time, it was nut the regular ufage to hear pe titioners by their counfel at the bar, in any Rage fo intermediate as that in the prefent inflance. When the Bill was committed, it would be for the com mittee to ezercife its own difcretion ; but that it was more ufual for the Houfe to bear Counfel upon the Report being brought up. Mr. WILBERFORCE apologized for this *min. tentional informality, as be had not been aware that the BiM in queltion had been read a fecond time. Mr. ADAM begged leave to oblerve, that no Counfel could be heard in the prefent Rage of the bill, and that were it even not irregular, it would be inconvenient, for that he was fatisfied that the ob jeetions of the Clergy of Scotland, for whom he en. tertained a mutt unfeigned refpeti, went rather to the apprehended modifications of the Bill, than to the principle of the sill itfelf, for it was neither in the nature, nor was it any part of the objet of the bill, to take away any privilege, or to infringe upon any right. He affured the Hon. Gentlemen and the Houfe, that nothing was more foreign to the Minds of thole with whom that bill originated, than any fentiment hoßile to the true interefts of the Scotch Clergy. The objeCt of the Bill was merely to fulpend for a limited time, and a very limited time, certain proceedings p:nding before the Commif lioners of Teinds, relat:ye to the augmentation of Stipends.-- The Court of Sefflon, of which thofe Camtniffioners were Members, would terminate its fittings on the lath of March, and not refume them before the I sch of May, but the time fufpenfion was not to ex ceed the firtt day of the fublequent Seffions—where then, he afked, was the ground for any reafonable complaint of delay, when the recefs was to com mence fo (ono, at*l that the time of fufpenfion was to be limited by its termination r The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND Osould define no better tellimony to the fincerity of ! his good withes to the Church of Scotland than that of I the Scotch Clergy therafelves. Taught, he rnight fay, from his infancy to hold that reipettable daft of th e community in proper eftimation, he did not think that he could be fuppofed capable of deliberately i n . trot/tieing into that Houle any tneafure that could in the flighteft degree tend to detraCt from their privi. leges, or to alienate theft rights ; fo far from it that he had it in his intention to fubmit, upon a future day, to that Houle, fame mealure for rendering th eme more fecure and permanent. He was. howe ver , as willing as any Gentleman in that Houfe could be, to hear the Petitioners by their Counfcl : he was anxious that no pofiible channel of information upon th at fubjea should be doled. The principle of the Bill was not objeCled to , but the modi fi ca ti ons w hi ch the Bill &mild undergo when in the Committee. R e was perfuaded that when the blanks were filled up in the Committee, the Petitioners would then fee the Bill in a clear and luminous point of view, and feel, as he did now, how groundlefs were their apprehett. fions. When he had the honour of fubmitting th at Bill to the Houle. he felt happy in the confeioufnes of introducing a regulatimn that he believed would be beneficial to the Church of Scotland ; but if it tball-appear otherwife, if there is the leafl ground to fulpeet that it may be produetive of any conies. cpiences injut ious to the Scots Clergy, he fhould feel Rill greater happinefs in immediately withdrawing if. After ao pbfervation from Mr. KENRICK, the 4 Petition was ordered to lie nn the T a bl e t ill the ' Report of the Bill; and that the Petitioners be al. lowed to be heard by their Counfel, at the Bar, in fuppurt of the allegations contained in laid petition. The Scotch Clergy Bill was committed for Thud. day next. sAitguicg commissinittis. The ATTORNEY GENERAL rofe, he Paid, in purfuance of his notice of yefterday, to move for leave to bring in a bill to enlarge the powers of the Commit loners for examining the Barrack Accounts. His Majefly had, by the advice of the Lords of the Treafury, appointed Mcfrrs.Charles Harris and Wm. Bragge, as Commiffioners to examine the accounts relative to the Barrack Department. In this bp& nefs, there Gentlemen had proceeded for fume time, but it had lately been found neceiTary to invert them with c:rtain additional powers, not comprehended in their (engine' appointments, namely, the power of examining upon oath the perfons who came before them, and the power of calling for acconnts and pa. pens relative to matters conflated with their de. partment. He took the liberty of moving for this Bill ' for the purpofe of enabling them •to proceed with effect in the difcharge of that duty which was impofed upon them. It was not, however, intended that they thould be enabled w commit ; but that they fhould call upcn the Attorney General to apply to the Court of Exchequer for the purpofe of inaie ing a fine ; and alfo to give them power to admini. Iler oaths, the want of %%Ma had been found to be very inconvenient. Such were the objets of this Bill, and he apprehended that there would be no op. pfition to it. The Right Hon. and Learned Gen. tlernan theu concluded with moving for leave to bring in a Bill " to empower the Commiflioners of the Barrack Department to adminifter oaths to witneffes called befOre them, and to call for the production of fuch Accounts, Papers, and Documents as they may deem peccary for the invefligation of fuch bufmefs.. and matters as may be (Omitted to them."—Leave given.
