It was of some length, and set forth, among other points, that the Impost in question was originally laid on as aWar Tax ; and that naturally, on the return of peace, hirbiajesty's Sub jects is that part of the United Kingdom, expected its abroga tion ; that the general increase and pressure of taxation was grievously felt in that country ; and, with respect to the Window Tan, it was not only pecuniarly felt, 'but its operation tended greatly to deteriorate the health of the capital city, where, as a tax was not charged 113011 uninhabited houses it was the practice to closed several parsons as occupants of one house, in order to evade It, and on the various grounds stated the Pei tloaers played relief.

Parliaineut fur the said Boraugh,—Leave given. Upon the moti,,n of Mr. WYN\, the Petition, of John Trevaunion and others, in the year 1807, was ordered to be re-printed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition signed by many most respectable Meichants and , 'Cr:tilers of Westminster, complaining of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. He expressed his opinion, that the present Act required some revision, but that the principle of it should be preserved. On the question thaf the Petition be received, The SOLICITOIZATENEA AL, in the absence of his Honourable and Learned Friend (the Attorney- General) said, that he might venture to assure the Mover and the House, thara never was the intention of his Honourable and Learned Friend to move for any renewal of the Act without submitting to the House at the same time considerable amendments. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, who was not friendly to the renewal of the Act, hoped, that if a Committee were appointed to consider the subject, it would be , such a Committee as would consist of practical as well as theoretical men. Many Gentlemen. in that House were not only unacquainted with the nature of the law, of debtor and creditor, as operated upon practically, but perfectly indifferent as to its effects; and in offering this observation, the worthy Alder man meant nothing individually censorious. The Petition was then received, readiand%ardered to lie on the table. • . • Mr. BROUGHAM, holding in his hand a Petition from the Prisoners of the Jad of Lancaster, observed,, That previously to moving for leave to presm. it,. lie. found it necessary to describe it, as containing a prayer of a very opposite nature. It was for the re-, new•al of the Act ; but humbly stating, that although an Insolvent Bill would, in their opininn, at this time be politic, they had no doubt but the law might re-.. ceive many improvements ► , . . . The Petition was receiied,•read, and. ordered to lie on the table, Mr. BROUGHAM, as a preliminary to the pre senting of a similar Petition, although not in the same words, stated, that what he then held in his hand, came from the prisoners confined in the King's Bench, praying for the renewal of the Insolvent Bill. With out denying that there had been many abuses in the exercise or administration of the present Act, they wished the new Act to be made as perfect as possible. The Petition was received, read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. BROUGHAM presented another petition on the same subject, from certain inhabitants of Mury la-bonne, consisting of 1400 or 1500, who had suf fered severely from fraudulent debtors, and praying against its renewal ; or, if renewed, that there. ought to be considerable amendments. • Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that almost every one who bad acted with the consequences of the Bill in his eye, C had been defrauded. Thi s w a s the gene ral complaint from Carlisle and other place;, whence he had presented petitions. Tradesmen in town used the same language. The complaints of the latter were, that they presented themselves in a doubtful shape when urging credit. They gave you a Bill upon Lord Moira, or some other Nobleman, which Pill was not perhaps sanctipned, even remotely, by his Lordship's authority. He hoped for the appoint. ment of a Committee, and condemned the practices oof the present Court of InsblVeney. There was now one universal.assignee only, the Clerk of the Court ;' and, on inquiry,, it would be found, that in most in-, stances the Insolvent had paid. nothing in the shapd of dividends. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in contradiction to the last Hon. Member, vindicated the proceedings of the Court of Insolvency, so' far as regarded the letter and spirit of the Act. The Right Ilun. and Learned Gentleman then went into a minute detail ; was persuaded that the Clerk of the Court had dis charged his duty faithfully ; and that he was merely a legal officer till a regular assignee was appointed. Th.o this Bill might be considerably improved, no one would deny ; but he wished to impiess .on the House, that in many deficiencies complained of, the creditors themselves were to blame. They would not take any trouble upon themselves, butthough: that every thing was to be done for tbein ; and when they found that some particular points, in particular cases, had in the hurry of business been omitted, they. then uttered their complaints. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that although the Petitioners complained of the operations-pf the pre sent Bill, yet they bad no objection to itsprinciple gmmisieper-.. They hoped that the Committee would nt ri 2 er perfect as to obviate all objections. The Hon. GEORGE LAMB, in a maiden vras against any rancorous IL.ntility tfi debtors i n , neral. But while he declared hi, wishes to act principles of huma n ity and fair d ea li a 1,1 debtor and creditor, be was anxious, for it:4 lion of the honest men o f b ot h descripticsn, t i .4 l Bill should be rende r ed as p er f ect as poisille. knew that the honest but too cre , Liu:c w ais liable to many frauds, but h e as fully p er ms that such amendments might be adopted a s u , render it-far less exceptionable. Th e Rol, ueti^ was listened to with muds attenzion and once o rtt (11mi-ed.—The. Petition was received, read au " dered to lie on the table. , GAdolit • LAWS. . Mr. BRAND rose to bring fortrard hi s Mdtion on this subject, which, he said. was •.. connected! with the moral condition of the lov,e ry . of the people. In the last Parliament, a Rop r. made by a Corrtmittee •on this question ; 2 , 7 i opinion of the Committee was, that all Gime to be the'property of the Occupier of the Lar,4 which such game was found. Here the lion.. Member - ente:ed into a general history of the c : Laui from the earliest period. and came to the _which was passed in the reign of Charles , all the household property of the mutiny was chided from the ?ossesion cf game, and the of Manors had the exclusive right over it. F r that time to the present, there was nothing but peated Acts of Parliament, vesting such riOit Lords of• Manors, contrary to the laws of a,tice • of nature. •SCI long as so much personal pro existed in this country- as there was in it p it - would be impossible for the :aaded pro;)rieto rs exclude the other part of the community from enjoymPnt of that ‘vhich by nature and by just::e was entitled tn. Thus, all little proprieto7s of l and the richest merchants, were precluded from enjoyment of game ; and the consequence was, a neral encouragtinnt to poachers, and a temptatil to most immor ml acts. Against this unjust systerni legislation, the whole people of the:country prcte4til The Returns made to the House last ytmr, won , prove what numbers of people had been sect to p son in consequence of the severity of the Game La and. he would venture to say, that if one were, study upon the most effectual means of demoralii the country, they could not do it more effeinu• than by passing these Game Laws. It was certai. or the highest advantage to the country that land proprietors should reside upon their estates, and measure which he contemplated would rather indu them to do so, thin create in their minds any ob'e tion to it. Yet the sanction of the earliest times we. to establish the actual right of the occupiers of 1:17 to whatever game might be found upon it. and he should prove from certain extracts from the L stitutes.—(Here the Honotirable Member read tl extracts, which stated that persons possessing la: were entitled to the game upon it; ratione ioli. Rut against this it was urged, that the Lord of .Maitor, and not the person deriving under him, h; the exclusive right ; he, however, denied the fir and was warranted by the ancient law of the lard • considering the immediate occupier as the rigid proprietor of the game. He contended the t! Lord of the Manor himself, unless he heti ietr duced a specific clause in the lease' for possessi. the exclusive right to the game, shoirldinet he thorised to kill game on' the land of the lessix —A great advantage that would result from an tcration in the present system, would be an alma supply of game to the markets. • The occupies • land, and not poachers e wonld then be the von and he, saw no reason why a farmer should not ha the same right to game .as lie had to sheep and ow The only differen c e was, that game could not befit to the soil ; but why should accident give a right; one case more than in another ? It was to be d plored that the lower orders were now mere readi:i excited to offences of this nature than repressed i. the commission of them ; yet tLis would aot be case if the obnoxious monopoly were done away.
