Mr. ROSE then moved for an Account of the Receipts and Es. penditure for the Years 1805-6, and of the probable Eapeace in 1837.—Ordered. The Account was then prefented and ordered to lie on the table. SLAVE TRADE. A Meffdge from the Lords anneunced their affcnt to the amend ments in the Slave Bill, with an Amendment. Lord HOWICK moved, that the Amendment should be eon fidered, Being found to be Rrielly in furtherance of the intentions of the Commons, it was agreed to, and the Bill was fent by Mr. Wilberforce to the Lords.

Mr. DENT called the attention of the Horde to a fultjedl of very great importance, he meant tome pradtices that had been re- Coned to nipeding the Lancefter Eledion. He proceeded to Rate the cinumitartees to which lie alluded. During the Lancafter Election be entaiuly had done nothing which be could have ex pedted to form the ground of a charge againft hint. It was not therefore without faqr& that he °Vented that on the laR day for prefenting Petitions, one had been prefented lgaitift hint, charging him with bribeiy and corruption. On enquiry he found that five of the perfons fubfcrihing to the Petition were not in Lancafter at the time of the Eledion. But the Petition being prefented, it became neck Miry for the parties who prefented it to examine whe ther the allegations were true, and Mr Aileock, wf York-ftreet, in the Borough, went to Lancaßer, which was placed in a Rew, (a lave) by the boldnefs of his affertions refpeding l power and intention to turn out its Members. He then further Rated, that forged warrants were fent to the witneffcs to attend, that Mr Alicock had fent a letter to his (Mr. Dent's) fulicitor, expretfing his with to put off the ballot, as there was a material witncfs for the Petitioners who could not attend, and yet he had a letter from Mr. Alicock to this fame witnefs, Rating that there was no occa lion for his attendance. He had witneffes in the lobby ready to prove thefe circumflances, and propofed to call them. The SPEAKER fuggeßcd that the beR mode would be to move that the fubjed thould be confidered on a future day, and to have an order for the attendance of the witneffes, and of Mr. Allcock. Mr. TIERNEY knew nothing of the prefent tranfsaion, but fpoke in favour of the general conduct of Mr. Allcock. A converfation then enfued between Lord Howicx, Mr STU ft au BOURNE Sir JUUN NeWPOILT, Mr Tic to: CY, and Mr DZN r, refpeeting the day on which the band's fheuld come on. It was at length agreed, that it &mild be confidered to•tnorrow, after the frith buliriefs (the budget) was finifhed, and the witniffcs and Mr. Allcock, were accordingly ordered to attend. REVEKSIONARY GR•NTS. Mr. BANKES rote, and (poke upon this fubjeB as follows I rife, in putluance of a notice I gave yelierday, to fubmit a Refolution and Motion to the 1 1 Houfe, founded upon the previous Refolution of a Committee of Finance. In doing this, I (hall not have occafion to detain the Houk lung. It is in the recolletion of the Houfe, that a Committee was lately appointed to inquire into the Rate of Public Offices; of that Committee I have the honour to be Chairman, and therefore I have it more immediately in my power to Rate the purport of part of their invef- I ciliation. It (truck that Committee, that the granting of places in reverfion, although not hitherto much ' abufed, was a fubjed exceedingly fit to be reformed and altered. The papers already before the Houfe will thew the extent to which thcfe reverGons have gone in this country. By our conneCtion with Le i land, as lately formed, this praCtice of granting re vet fions is—carried much farther than formerly. 1 I (hall not enlarge upon this topic, but merely add, that after the Houfe (hall have agreed to the Refolu tion of the Paid Committee, it would be necetrary, in order to reftrain the praCtice, before it rifer to a great abufe, to bring in a Bill for that purpufe. This is, therefore, the plan I propufe, after fubmitting the Refolution to which I allude, for the acquiefcence and approbation of the Houfe." Mr. BANKES then moved, , 4 That there he a Refolution of this Houfe, in conformity with that of the Committee o' Finance and Inquiry into the State of Public Offices, that nu office, place, employment, or falary, in any part of his Majefty's dominions, ought hereafter to be granted in reverfion." Mr. YORKE — " Sir, I molt confefs that I feel confiderable difficulty in affenting to this motion, be ing very doubtful as to the propriety of making an alteration of this kind, in this country ; the more ef pecially, when the Hon. Gentleman himfelf Oates, that no confiderable abufe has exilted in regard to reverfionary grants. I am exceedingly loath to • change the accutiomed praCtice in this particular, • without very throng reafons being afligned. Without going to agitate the queaion fully, I will only fay, that this power in the Crown, in granting offices in teverfion, has been long enjoyed without abufe—it has been enjoyed, for the purpote of rewarding the fervices of thofe who . have ditlinguifhed themfelves in their exertions for their country's good. On the le principles, I ()mold by no means with to take away that power from the Crown, the more 10, as in my opinion and view of the fobjeCt, it is an a/in:it laving to the State, that filch apr aCtice be continued. The public are, at prefent, only paling one perfon, by granting him the emoluments and falary of one of fice at a time ; whereas, by the propofed alteration and innovation, they would, in cafes of meritori us fervices, be under the necealty of rewarding one per fon with two or more offices, fu as to compenfare the fervices he may have rendered. Notwithflanding this being the cafe, we are now called on at once, or I upon a notice merely of yellerday, to rake away from the Crown part of its prerogative. That notice was In given, that I declare I did not know whether the Hon. Member had pothponed a motion, or given no lice of one, when I came down to the Houfe thisday. I fh iuld recommend, at all events, that the Houfe fhould take more time to confider of a matter of Inch material importance. I think it is a very grave and ferious matter, and ought not to be decided woe without mature confideration." Viicount HOWICK—" Sir, I rife to Rate, that this motion has my ninft decided fupport. I cannot think it neceffary to pofipone the confideration of fuch a Refolutiog to a futute occafion. The notice was given yefterday in a hilt Houfe, and was, I re member, particularly marked by my obferving that I would fuppnt t it. 'Vile prefent Adminiftration, far from being inclined to grant reverfions, have only granted one, and that was under certain ciresim ftances. There has beer. a reverfion given to a eel-. tain Law Officer in the Court of Chancery, and in that cafe an application was made immediately t 3 the Crown. The Lord Chancellor has obtained his Ma jelly's permiffion to grant two (mall places in rever lion to a very old and met itorious fervant, a man who had long been clerk to him, and enjoyed a very com fortable and lucrative fituation, till that Noble Lord came into office; at which time it became abfulutely necefFary to provide for him. The additional rever fion which has been thus created, is the Tellerfhip of that Court. As to the propriety of the motion, I do not think that the mere tiatement of any ufage, how. , ever old, thould induce the Houfe to continue it, if it is found not to be conducive to the public fervice. I think that no ocelot end can be attained by it, and I never met with a difference of opinion upon the fubjeEt. When the Bill is brought in, there may be future Rages in which further argumehts may be gone into ; but I cannot think, that in any point of view, the prefent motion, as to the Houfc agreeing with the refolution of their Committee, and allowing that refolution to be entered upon their Journals, can be in the fro:tiled degree objectionable. The Right Hon. Gentleman has °blared, that it may be necef fary to grant double appointments, were fuch rever lions put an end to : whereas the public are at pre fent only (addled with one ; but I think, Sir, that the cafe is perfeltly the reverie, and therefore, I am inclined to fuppofe that that Right Hon. Gentleman moil have , my looked at the matter nightly. Grants of reverfion have been often given to perfons tusk for the fituation they hold, and nut given merely as the reward of fervices—while the public is thereby (addled with additional expences. Upon the ground aline of this meafure tending to prevent a double burden coming upon the public, I thould be inclined to fupport the propofition. The Right Hon. Gen tleman teems to difapprove of the mode of bringing the matter forward—but as to that point I have only to obierve, that as I approve of the meafure, fo I ap prove of the method by which it has been brought forward, it being founded upon the Refolution of a Committee already appointed by the Houfe. I ap prove very much of that Refolution !Landing upon the Journals of the Houfe; for when that is the cafe no Minister will ever take upon himfelf to grant any reverfion, contrary to a Rending order, even although no Bill was actually brought in. As to insinuations which have been made in this Houfe, relative to more reverfinns having been granted of late years than for merly, I am not prepared to anfwer ; but this I may (late, that, undoubtedly, the practice has been carried much too far, both in this country and in Leland. Upon the whole, Sir, I have only further to °blare, upon the prefent occafion, that I with this motion had gone a little fat thee, and had beat accompanied with a propofal that there timid be a declaration of the decided and general opinion of the Houle, againft the praaice even of granting any places for life."— ( Loud and general crier of bear, hear ! from all parts of the Houfe.) Mr. PLUMER, as loon as 'Hence was again re- Roved, rofe and faid-4 , I with, Sir, that this mea ftire had been brought forward forty years ago.— This has been hitherto my fincere defire ; and therefore, give the Motion, now made, my molt hearty affent. Having faid thus much upon the meafure itlelf, I cannot help embracing this °ppm tunic! of paying a compliment to the prefent Ad minillration (I lay prefent, upon the fuppofition that they are Rill in office), as I really think they have thwart every difpnfition to benefit the country by their judicious meafure3, and their avoiding the prac tice of former Adminifirations, of granting rever lions. Upon this rocafion, too, I have another ob fervation to make, which is this: io corning down to the Houle this day, I have heard a report, which I am very lorry to hear ; I have heard, Sir, that the new Government which is now forming, or to be formed, have agreed to give to a Right Honotirable and Learned Member of this Houfe (a .riding to Mr. Perceval, who was not then in the Houle) an ap. pointinent to the Giancelhojlilt of th: Du.l.v f Law.ger
