Tretstry Minute of the 49th May, 1812, relative to the Licen sing of Small Stills. Mr. DEN M AN moved, that the second reading of the King's Bench ilia, be postponed to Monday seunight. On the motion of Mr. 1). GILBERT, the name of Sir Thos. Baring was added to tht list of the Finance Committee. Mr. CA LC ILA FT suggested the propriety of adding to it the name of another Gentleman, whose eminent qualifications no body could be insensible of : he meant his Honourable Friend near him (Mr. Grenfell.) Lord CASTLEREAGH observed across the table, that the , number of the Committee, It had been determined, should be 21, which hst was now complete. A slight conversation ensued between the Noble Lord, Mr. CALCRAFT, and Mr. Garsra.t., the latter Gentleman hinting his entire ignorance of the intentions of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Calcraft.) He said that he would willingly assist the Committee with any information experience might suggest; and here the conversation dropped. On the motion of Colonel DAVIES, a return of the total Ex ports from Great Britain and Ireland, between the years 180:1 and 1819, to Spain, was ordered to be laid on the table, distin guishing, as far as possible, the values in each year, and the ar ticles exported. Lord MILTON presented a Petition against the Barnsley Church Bill. A Message from the Lords announced their Lordship's assent to several Private •- --•---- -- PRIsONEES IN THE FLEET. The Hon. GEORGE. LA Ala rose for the purpose of moving for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate proceedings in Vacation time, against the Wards nof the Fleet I'rison for Escapes. It had been his wish to defer this motion, but having been in structed, that if the measure was to be effected at all, it was nrceuary that it should/be so before the Long Vacation, he had thought proper to bring it forward at present. With respect to these escapes, as the law now stood, or rather as the defects of the law now appeared, a prisoner for debt could go out of the Rules the first day of Vacation, and remain absent from the Fleet till the first day of the next or following 'Ferro. Whether this arrangement was or was not by reason of an understanding with the Warden, it was needless for him to stets It was suf ficient for him to maintain; that the creditor bad no remedy, not being able to make any recoveries during the Vacation ; sad on the return of Term, the Warden prevented all further inter ference by producing the prisoner. As a sew and proper regula tion for the benefit of the creditor against the abuse complained of, he moved for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate Recoveries from the Warden, in time of Vacation, in all cues of Escapes. —The question was put and agreed to. MATHEMATICAL AND LOOARITIIM TABLES. Mr. D. GILBERT, as an introduction to his intended mo tion, made some judicious remarks.= the duty of Parliament to encourage improvements and discoveries in science. In refe rence to the late Survey in France, by able Engineers both of France and England, he thought he could not render greater services to both Countries, than.by proposing a Plan to present to the Public, and consequently to all men of Science, Minutes of that Survey ; and that the Mathematical and Logarithm Tables should be printed at the joint expense of both Countries. For this purpose he moved, " That an humble Address be pre sented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying that his Royal Highness would be graciously pleased to give orders to his Majesty's Minister at the Court of France, to procure Copies of certain Mathematical and Logarithm Tables; and that these , Tables be printed at the joint Expense of the two Countriee— Ordered ; and that such Members as are of his Majesty's Privy Council be required to wait on the Prince Regent with the same. GRANIPOOND ELECTION. The House, on the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, went into a Committee on the Grampound Bribery Indictments. Alexander Lamb was called in, and examined by Lord J. RUSSELL ; he was agent to Mr. Teed, one of the Candidates at the last Election for Grampound; he had seen a list which Mr. Teed had, of the voters who had been bribed by the opposite party ; he had seen some of the persons whose names were in this list, who confessed to him that they had received loans of money. The Bribery Oath was tendered to one of them by Mr. Teed ; but he was requested to withdraw it by the Gentlemen present s on the ground that the voters, though conscious they were committing per jury, would persevere in taking it. He had in his pos session a copy of the Poll-boot at his office in town. The witness was here ordered to withdraw, whilst the Committee considered whether the Poll-book was admissible evidence. It being, after a short conver sation, resolved in the affirmative, the witness, not haying the book in his immediate possession, was or dered to produce it on his next attendance. In con tinuation of his testimony he added, that the township of Grampound had threatened to pelt those who should tender the Bribery-oath to them before the Re turning Officer. Amongst the Gentlemen who had objected ta pressing the oath was Mr. Shaw, one of the Candidates. He waq not aware of any division or opposition of parties prevailing at that time. He had accompanied Mr. Teed on his canvass, arid told the Voters, that he knew certain sums of money had been distributed amongst them, and that he had evi dence to prove it. He was examined before the Grand Jury, when bills of indictment were preferred against. several of the Electors. Twenty of these persons had been subsequently tried and convicted ; seven or eight more, in consequence of information which they had riven, were not brought to trial, al though bills of indictment had been found against them. The list with which he was furnished, in the first instance contained the names of those who had not, as well as of those who had, received sums of money in consideration of their votes. Witness did not recollect the number of the latter. He had been employed to carry on the prosecution, and knew that if the parties convicted were to be brought up' for judgment, it should have been done within the first tour days of the last Term. He had, however, re ceived no instructions to that effect, and he supposed the reason of this was, that the matter was under - the consideration of that House. There had been no communication between him and Mr. Teed respect ing the propriety or impropriety of bringing the par ties up for judgment. Early in April he had ceased to be employed by Mr. Teed, with whom, however, his account was not yet settled. Other persons had been concerned in the prosecution, and from them he had received part of his charges. The names of these persons his professional duty did not allow him to disclose. He could not tell whether the demand at present against Mr. feed w is large or small: it cer tainly was more than £lOO, and less than £2,000. He belies ed that those twenty persons would have been brought up for judgment, had it not been for the proceedings before this House, relative to the Bo rough. Witness had ceased to be Agent for Mr. Teed before the Grampound Election Committee was appointed. Here the evidence of this witness closed, and John Edwards was called to the Bar and examined by Lord John Russell. Witness stated, that he was present at the last Elec tion for Grampound, in the character of a Solicitor; that he had been requested to attend in older to sup port one of the Candidates, but that he had no in terest himself in the Election. He then detailed the proceedings which took place at the Electiop. He had con - zersed with three or four Electors, who told him that more than twenty of the Electors had been bribed. He then, apparently with some reluctance, mendoned the names of those persons with whorb he ' had conversed, and stated his belief that they would not have taken bribes previously to the Election. He did not ask them directly if they would take the Bri bery-oath? but he insinuated a question to that effect; and they appeared to understand him, but did not' say distinctly whether they would or' would not— , they certainly did not say they would not. Mr. Shaw 4larnanded the Bribery-oath to be tendered, but it was withdrairia from a conviction of the state ia wbich the Electors were. Examined by Mr. ScaaLryr.—Witness had been acquainted with the electioneering proceedings at' Grampound for the last 34 or 36 rears. He never advised the Electors at any previous Election, al though, on seeing them singly, or in small parties, he had often told them what they were likely to bring on themselves by their practices. The practice to which he alluded, and which he stated to them on these occasions, was that of receiving bribes for their votes. None of them denied the fact, but they excused themselves on account of their poverty, and considered it a privilege to which they were entitled. Witness stated to them at the last Election, that that would probably be the last occasion on ich they would ever stand in the character of Electors. He had come to the knowledge of the fact that they required to be paid for their votes, by many of them asking himself for money for their votes. He did not know how long these practices had existed, but he had reasim to believe they had existed at the two previous Elections. The canvasses were always ge, neral. He believed very few of the Electors were exempt from the propensity to demand money for their votes ; two or three, he believed, would not, and his belief was founded on his knowledge of their cha racters. He had no doubt that the rest of the Elec tors were willing to sell their votes. One of the Electors had proposed that £B,OOO should be forth coming at a limited time after the Election, to be divided among the Electors for both seats. In answer to a question from Mr. SCARLETT, the witness said it was Timothy Simons, Mayor of Gram pound, who had proposed £B,OOO to be forthcoming. He could not say from his own knowledge that of the sixty Electors four would not refuse a bribe. Alexander Lamb was ordered to be recalled, but as he was not in attendance, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. PARLDIMENT.4RY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF l.Oltl)S, MAY 27. The Earl of SI lA FTESBURY presented a Petition on the part of the East lodia Company, praying for leave to be beard by Counsel, and to addne? evidence in support of their alley. tinis against Chase's Relief before the Lords' Committees, and which was accordingly ord?red to take place.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that as but one Order stood for the next week (namely, on Thursday), and that of a nature which may be postponed without inconvnience ; and as the following day was the Anniversary of his Majesty's Birth day, a day on which the House did not sit, he believed no ob jection would be felt by any Noble Lord to extend the adjourn ment for the Whit-Holidays until Monday sennight. This pro position being tacitly assented to by the Peers present, the Noble Minister moved, that the I louse do adjourn until Monday se'n night, which was ordered accordingly. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
