The Earl ufOrmond was Introduced with the ultra: formali ties, (worn, and wok his feat, as a Peer of the United King dom, by the title of. Baron Butler—his Lortilldps lbpporters were Lords Willingham and Aucklaud. A number of Private Bills were brought up from the Com mons, and feverally read a firft time. Earl of Moira, after a few prefatory obeerrations, prefent ed for tbe tooovent Debtors,which. be laid, was a literal tranfeript of hia former Bill, and be obferved, he thought it advifable to limit the operation of the Bill to the 2.3 d of Ja nuary taft.—alse Bill was, on his Ladalp's 1210tiON, read a Brit time. The Earl of CLARE rofe to give notice, that he I meant on fame future day to hi in forward a mo tion of confiderable importance, but perhaps, he might u well explain the general nature of the oh jeft to which he meant to draw their attention. The LOAD CHANCELLOR hinted to his Noble Friend, that he thould move to have the Houle cleared. Lord CLatt made the motion,and it was cleared accordingly—when firangers were again admitted, The Bifhop of EXETER was on his legs, explain ing what he knew of the fags on which the Di vorce Bill turned, what had been the charader and condua of the Rev. Mr. Birdwood, the perfon who committed the adultery, and what were the Reps that he, as his Diocefan, had hinrfelfpurfned. We undcrdood his Lordfliip to fay, that Mr. Birdwood was the fon of the worthy head of an ancient and refpedable family in the county of Devon,to which he was himfelf related; that he had lived in habits of intimacy and friendfhip with them for many years, and that his parents were moll virtuous, moral and meritorious perfons ; that he had him fell by impofition of hands qualified him for the Church, and that the unhappy affair had planted daggers in the breaths of his afflided relations. The Bifhop proceeded to Rate, that Mrs. Taylor en tangled the young man in her dangerous fnares, even before he was ordained, and bad engaged him in a criminal intcreourfe with her antecedent to his entering into orders, and that fhe had con trived to continue him in the praCtice of adultery for a period of fome time previous to the deteetion of her guilt. That the young man was engaged in a virtuous purfuit of addreffes to another Lady whom he would have married but that he could not difentangle himfelf from Mrs. Taylor. Lord Auc K LAND rote to (peak to nrder,and the detail the Right Reverend Prelate was entering into had no relation to the bufinefs of the day. The majority or the Houfe calling out Go on ! Go ex I— . . The BISHOP proceeded, and (aid, not having been prefent at the former debit e, in which he un derftood he had been perfonally alluded to. he thought it necelfary to Elate to the Honk all he knew, and what his own condua had been. He fhortly added, that it was a millakt to fuppofe thai Mr. Birdwood continu::d to perform the facret ' duties of his profctlion in the parilli in which his family rendes!, much lets that he had it in his con templation ever to contra& marriage with Mrs. Taylor. Mr. Birdwood was at a conliderahle dif tance abroad, and as form as he (the Bifhop) had heard an accurate aeconnt of the criminal fags committed between the parties, it had became his duty to plant a new dagger in the hreall hf Mr.. Birdwood's parents, by difplacing their fon and fufpending him. He could not deprirehim of his benefice, tecaufe he held none, but was merely a curate y as to the patting oat of orders it was not in his power, but he was fufpcndcd from officiat ing, and would fo continue till, by a due repen tance and regular and virtuous ccrarfe of reformed life, lie had proved himfelf worthy to be reftored to his rank and profeflien. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, who had entered the Houfe while the 13ifliop was fpeaking, role to (peak to Order, and was about to enter into the main debate, when he was told acrofs the Houle, that th e Order of the Day had not yet been moved. The Maacwis then moved the reading of the Order, which was initantly done. He then again role, and entered at confiderable length into the fubjea, but as the arguments were pretty much the.fame as thofe ufed by him when he introduced the Claufe in the Committee, it is unneceffary to repeat them. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of CLAILIINCZ role to maintain the converfe of the inferences drawn by the Noble Marquis from the probable effect of the ciente as a check to the repetition of the'crime .of Adultery, and to declare, that ex cepting 411 his deteftation of that crime, he dif fered comr tetely with the Noble Marquis in every thing 11C had advanced. In illuftration of this, his Royal Highnefs went over the ground he had taken laft Thurfday, and concluded with declaring that he thould objed to the claufe paffing. the fame Earl of WESTMORCLAND followed on the fame fide, and alluded at fame length of detail, to the arguments of the Bilhop of Rochefter in a former debate, grounded on the docctrines of the canonifts and commentators. He referred to an Al paired in Scotland 'in the reign of James VI. relative to Divorces, as a proof that before that fpecial ftatute b adulterers and adulterelns intermarry. His Lordfliip, with fume farcattn, (poke of the claufe, as having been the offspring of a Noble Lord, who lalt year introduced it as a general Bill, but it proved fo fickly a child, that its parents thought fit to abandon it, and ht is die quietly on the 'Fable of the Houle. His Lordship ' uti.d various arguments againft the clout's.. The LORD CHANCELLOR left the Woolfack to explain as to the inference to be drawn from the Statnte of James the 6th of Scotland, which paired in the int.tucy of the Reformation. Lord Carlille and the Bithop of Rochefter role together, but after a conteft on the part of the Earl of Radnor, that it was the duty of the Lord Chancellor to point to the Noble Lord who thould (peak, which the Lord Chancellor intimated lay with the Houle and not with him, _ . The Earl of Caituste obtained a hearing by the Ililhop yielding his dcfire to be then heard.— The• Noble Earl laid, where two Learned Prelates differed on interpretations of paffages of Scripture, it was fomewhat hard upon unlettered men like him felf. becaufc it obliged them to form a judgment for thenifelves. His Lordlhip proceeded tb pro duce extra& from the Old and New Teflament to fupport his fenfe of how the law refpeaing Di vorce, or putting away a wife for any thing be fides Adultery, and eßb in the cafe of Adultery, had been declared to Rand by our Saviciva con tending, that an explanation of fo much as that divine legiflator did not explicitly declare, was to be looked for in the Mofaic Law. Having argued this very clearly, his Lordihip complained of the great mifchiefs that arofe to fociety from the fre quent difcullions of the fubjed of Divorce in Par liament, which went very much to poifonthe riling female generation, and to make them prematurely ripe in the knowledge of faCts and dirquilitions, to which it would be better for the inter efts of morality they Ihould, as long as poffiblc, remain grangers. The Bifhop of Roc MiSTER replied to the Earl of Carlisle's fpeech in a very learned and elaborate argument, citing the doctrines of the Eaflern and Wellern churches in fupport of the opinion that he had delivered in the debate of a former day-- that all marriages contraded by parties after di vorce, were in the eye of the Diva's' Batmo con fidered as adulteries. He contended that in the Romifh times, marriage was held to be a facra ment, but though after the Reformation it was no longer fo confidered, Rill it was held by all theologians to be an inflitution of God himfelf, and therefore indiffoluble and to be deemed &- erect. The Bilhop difplayed a profound knowledge of the writings of antiquity, on this Cubic.% as well as the wntings of the modern polemics. He ftrongly supported the claufe. Lord GRENVILLE argued forcibly on the fame fide, and in a perfpicuous and able Beech con tended that the dance was effentially neceffary for the prefervatiein of morality and religion. He differed totally from Lord Carlifle in relpea to any mirchief rcfulting from debates on the fubjed cf divorce in either Houfe of Parliament, but declar ed, that, no doubt, great mifehiel did refult from the debates being mifreprefented, and what was in diem indecently made the fubjelt.of feoffinf; and ridicule in the public stewfiiarers. He denied that any fair conclufion could be drawn by antici pation of the probable condo& of the other Houfe of Parliament in refpol to the chafe. If they rejefted it, and fent the Bill back with an Amend ment, that was no rcafon their Lordfhips fhould not fanction its paging their Houfe in the tuft in flame. Each Houfe of Parliament would un doubtedly eaercife their own right of legiflation, otherwife there could be no occafion for two dif tina I Intik. of Parliament, which, with the So vereign, Count the Government. Even if the Bill was returned from the other Houfe with an amendment, it would be for their Lordibips to exercif.. their diferetion and deride which of two evils they w3uld jtrget•-..t0 re ka the Bill, or, confidcring it the Wee red of two, pall the Rill without that clank, for tbr fake of refitting Mr. Taylor the relief to which be bad proved hiodclf to be fo amply entitled, EPRICE SLIC-PENCE. Lord CLARE rofe, and faid he was lorry to dif fer in opinion from his noble and learned Friend on the Woolfack, but he could not agree exaetly with him either in the conarudion or the proha, ble effed of the propofed claufe, or in the policy of introducing anyJuch claufe in a private Bill, introduced on the petition of a particular indivi, dual. If fuch a clank was advifable or fit to be palled into a law, it ought to have been made the fubjed of a general law, and fo difeulled, fince, in that fhape, and that fhape only, could it be fairly difculfed. Neither could he agree with thq doctrine laid down with great authority by 4 Learned and Right Reverend Prelate, that tie Canons of the Church were a part of the common law of the land, and flood on the fame footing. From the situation which he held in Ireland, it was his particular duty to expound the common law of the laud, for the protection of all whole cafes came before him ; his attention and ftudies, therefore, had been directed to that °lied, but he had afro examined with diligence and ailidnity into the cceletiallical and (latute law of England, and he would Ilate cerredly how the canons of the church were connected with either. The canons of the church hefere the Reformation, they all knew, were the contrivance of the Porn priests, thechildren of the See of Rome; at the Reforma tion, they, in common with all other parts of the rubrick of the Church of Rome, were of courfe an. nibilated, cubic& however to one frecial exception. By order of Henry the VIII. a commillion was ilfucd, dire:ling an inquiry to be made into the canons et the church, and report what part of them might be adopted without prejudice to tht king's prercgative, or injury to the laws and ton ititution of England. A report was made in fa. your of adopting •*ome part of them, in particular thole that referred to matrimony and other ordi nances of the Church ; and by the ed of 'harp the VIII. it was cnaneth that the canons of. the church thould be in tOrce to a certain rind limited extent; as much of them confeqiiently as were of authority, derive.' that authority from ftatute, and not from the common law of England. I lis Lou.!. (hip fpoke much of the firange corruptions of the Roma Church, and the impure radices on:ler it, of the tyrannous authority and dominion the See of Rome afinmed, and the grofs impolitions laid on the minds of men, contending, among other abfurd pretenlions, for the infallibility of the Church, as undeniably arifing from the infallibill, ty of the Pope. He denied the Right Reverend Prelate's alfertion that the bond of marriage wail vinculum imegolubile , and that marriage was of Divine authority. He quoted the canonills to (hew, that it had been fo laid down by them, but contradict, ed in the writings and books of ma n y celebrated theologians and learned commentators, who all agreed that the bond of marriage was vinculum di: foirbile. He would not, however, give much au. thority to the canons of the church in centraillt. tincion to the law of England; on that, and that only, he relied, and the law of England, and the practice under it, in refpedl to divorces, plainly 'hewed that marriage was with us regarded as 4 civil contra& merely, and nothing more. The Ecelefiallical Courts, who relied a good deal upon the canons of the church, took upon them to in quire into cafes of jaditation of marriage, and, if the cafe was made out in a manner fatisfadory, they proceeded to pronounce a fentence of divorce, as it was called by them, a .11fenfit d ?Lore, but they would venture to go no farther and thence the praftice obtained of applying to that Route by petition, and fubllantiating by proof thc marriagr, the criminal fads, in fnpport of the Petitioners praying to he allowed a vioodo matr.moo.:!. courfe of proceeding could neither in the inflance of the pradice of the Eccleftallical Court, nor in the ufage and view of the Legitlature, be tight, if the bond of marriage was confitlered as vista:on iodifeMile. Being only a civil contrail, the zno meat that contrad was diffolved, it was diifolved wholly to all intents and purpofes. With regard to the doubts that were raid to ha ee been enter. mined as to the validity of the marriages celcbr.t. ed fubfequent to a divorce had and obtaiued from the I.egitlature, and the legitimacy of the Wile of such marriages, he never heard of any (itch doubts; before he entered the t'onsmittee 'on the Bill un dcr confideration haft Thurfday, he never had en tertained a flistdow of doubt on the fohjett, and having fince that evening turned the f u bj e d o eer very fully and deliberately in his mind, he wag convinced that there was no ground for any doubts whatever, and he dcfired Noble Lords to look ut what would be the confequeree if fuels doubts were acted upon. The parties could not go to the lain. nici pal Law Courts, nor to the Ecclefiallical Courts for relief, but they mull come to that Bar, and learned Courfel mull there argue the cafe. 1 - 14 would hip/tore that fuch a cafe might arife as this:—The" Odell fon under one of there mar. riages claimed his feat as a Peer, and the next en. tail, who, if he could difpofe o f the marriage, law that he thould be feated, would naturally endea vour to vitiate it. That claim could only be fet tled in that Houle; and think what a glaring ad of injullice it would beto decide againft the war riage With regard to the claufe. his Lordship raid, be molt &nee to it cntirely--it would -operate as a favour and a bounty to the aclukrrer, who would be freed front the temp of matrimony, and encouraged to carry on his trade of feduc. ikon ;he lho therefore vote againa it, Lord MOLLIES) fitid. he rofe merely to ray a few words. A Noble Lord, a friend of his ( Lord %Wilmot Jand) had. early in the debate, thrown out foniething as if hc had quelliQned tbe power and coropet.alce of that Houle to legiflat e i s cafes of divor,c. When he b 4 °taw (neuter night in• eland it to he his **gm that the Half.: Was not
