PARLIAMENTARr PROCZEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, MAY ss. MRS. ADDISON'S DIVORCE BILL. After difpofing of fcme routine Wind's, the Or der of the Day was read refpeeting Mrs. Addifon's Divorce Bill, and accordingly the Houfe refolved itfelf into a Committee thereon, Lord WALstno- NATI in the Chair. The LORD CH Atit ELLOR in purfuance of his PM politions on a former evening, brought forward his Amendment refpelling the difpotition of the Children of Mr. and Mrs. Addifon, whom we un derftood to be one male and one female, both now under age. The Noble and Learned Lord pointed out the ltrong propriety of fecuring to there chil dren, as far as the cafe would poffibly admit, the benefit of a virtuous and proper education, and not leave them, as othcrwife, by the operations of the Bill, they might be, folely under the care of a Father, who had conducted himfelf in fuck a way as Mr. Addifon had notorioufly done. We under flood from the Noble and Learned Lord, that the fon being intended for a profeflion, and partly en gaged in one, it would not be advifable, or in fome degree, practicable, to take him entirely from the protection of his father: the daughter, it was intended fhould be wholly under the care and pro. te4tion of her virtuous mother ; and both children were, during their minority, to be confidered as Wards of Chancery, to which Court both Mr. and Mrs. Addifon would he refpeCtively anfwerable for their conduct to the child under the care of each. Having dwelt with much feeling and ability on thele points, and fome fecondary confederations connected with the cafe, he propofed Amendments to the different Claufes, grounded thereon, which, after fome converfation between the Dues of Ccsaancs,the Etat. of Rosssiw, end the Learned Lord s were agreed to by the Committee, after which the Houfe refound. COLD BATH FIELDS. The Earl of prefented a petition from John Heron, complaining of ill ufage while a mi. loner in Coldbath-fields. His Lorcifhip obferved, that the petition, though containing irrelevant and fuperfluous matter, con tained no refleeions on the Haute. He had been applied to by Heron to prefent it, from his having been in the Regiment of Guards in which Heron Served. His Lordfhip Skid, that he Should to-day only move, That the Petition be laid on the Table. lie had been refuted admittance to Heron when be called at the prifon. His Lordfhip then Paid, that on Wednefday next he Should move Several Kefolutions fuggefted by this cafe ; particularly that two Peers, on producing a written notice who theywere, Should have admittance to perfons in the Situation of the petitioner ; and that returns of per tons taken up under the Sufpenfion of the Habeas Corpus Ae Should be laid before the Houfe. His Lordthip having alluded to Several points con fidered irrelevant to the objet of the petition, and entering into the cafe of Colonel Detpard, was re peatedly called to Order by The Loan CHascaLioß, who Stated that the allegations of the Petition, if not refleeing on the Houfe, contained much groundlefs charge on Ma giftrates of great refpeftability, and they had al ready been confidered and difproved by affidavits, in the Court of King's Bench. The Earl of SUFFOLK (aid, his only objea was that the Petitioner Should have the benefit of a trial by jury. After a few words from the Loan CHANCELLOR, who Paid that Heron might have obtained a trial by a jury, had he taken a different mode from that lie had adopted In moving for an information in the Court of King's Bench, the matter dropped. THE LAT' SIR RALPH Assacsonat. The Order of the Day being read for taking his na Majelly's moil gracious Meirage, refpeftin t the grant of a Barony to the Relid and Heirs e of ale late diftinguifhed Sir Ralph Abercro and a remuneration to his family, by a grant of a pen flan of aoool. per annum, to her Lady(hip, and the two nest Heirs to the Barony, into coutideration, being read, Lord HOBART moved an Addrefs to his Ma. *By on the oceation, th.tnling his Hajetly far his moil gracious communication; highly approving ut the circumftances tieseist nsenticased, and ague. i his Majefty of the molt cordial concurrence olthe Houfe to enable his . Majefty to carry the fame fully into effeß. On the quellion being put, The Earl of Moia4 rofe, aud pronounced a very elegant and appropriate eulogium on the private as well as the profeffional charther of the late Sir Ralph Abercromby.—The motion before the Houfe had his warmeß concurrence ; he begged at the fame time to add, his individual, though humble tribute of applaufe, to thole Minifters who had fo laudably come forward, and for advifing the bounty of the Crown to be bellowed in a quar ter where it was fo richly deferved, and In a way fo likely to conduce to the real interefts of the Country.—The Addrefs was then voted slaw if. MAST; LANDS. Lord CAa¢tralrott moved the Order of the Day for the fceond reading of the Bill for providing for the Inclofure and improvement of certain Wane and Uncultivated Lands in England and Wales, without fpecial application to Parliament in fuch cafes. _ _ _ The Bill was forthwith read afecond time : pre vious to his Motion, that the Bill be committed, —His Lordfhip addreffed the Houfe in a Speech of confiderable length, in which he difplayed much ability and very extenfivc information on the rub. jed—He expatiated upon the very great impor tance of the fubjea, and referred to thofe reports of various Committees, that of their Lordthips' la% to whom it was referred, that ,the meafure provided for by the Bill before the Haute was the very heft which the circumftances of the Country,. as applying to the cafe, admitted of. He obferved that it appeared the immenfe quantity of 7,800m00 acres of land were wafte and uncultivated in Eng land and Wales only ; that a confiderable portion of thole were well calculated for the growth of Corn, a circumliance which mull be of the great eft confolation to the Houfe and to the Country, when they refleded that when the meafures pro- poled by die Bill were carried into effeet, a recur. rence of that mifery and diftrefs arifing from a fcarcity of that vital article, could not take place. He adverted to the circum fiance of the great im portation of Corn from foreign Countries within the two Taft years, which were necelfarily pur chafed at a great difadvantage : for thefc not a lets fum than leven Millions for each year were paid by this Country; by the eventual operations of the Bill the annual produce of the Country would in future abundantly fupply the confump- ' tion of its population. This confideration alone was of fuch incalculable importance, that every other fhonld vanilh into air before it.—The noble Lord, then proceeded to a detailed expofition of the various provifions and regulations of the Bill. One of the leading provifions goes to the appoint ment of a Board, which, it is propofed, Mall have the chief management and eontroul of the various matters conneeted with the Att, and efpecially to take into their confideration, all the Rules and Standing Orders of both Houfes'of Parliament, relative to Bills of Inclofure. His Lordflip alto went into fome calculations with refped to the favings, which he ciefcribed would accrue in con fequence of the Bill, as well as fuggefted a variety of confiderations, with refped to which, he deemed the meafure as likely to have a falutary and beneficial tendency. He concluded by mov ing, that the Bill be committed. The LORD CUANCFLLOR obferved, that by his not oppofing the Motion for the Bill going into a Committee, he wiffied to have it under flood, that he was by no means pledged to fupport the Bill in its fubfequent progrefs. He could not refrain, he laid, from troubling their Lordfhips in the prefent inftance with a few confiderations, which deeply affected him with refpea to the meafure in quef tion. One of the &ft objections that ftruck him was, its originating, in a great degree, with cer tain bodies of men, to whofe confideration it was propofed before Parliament was reforted to. To there bodies of men, as fuch, the Conflitution of this Country by no means entrufted the inveftiga tion of fuch topics. In his progrefs on tome late Circuits, he had occafion to obferve, that the She riffs of feveral Counties, who were the King's Officers, fubmitted the fubjeet in queftion in charge to their refpedive Grand Juries. To fuch a line of proceeding he was decidedly hoftile, as if fuch bodies of men were fuffered to difcufs fuch points, political or any other kind of topics might as well be fubmitted to their confideration. He felt it his duty to fay as much, and had given his opinion while on the Bench againft the prattice. It was alto with regret that he obferved, that on fome occafions, where the fuhjet was treated of, language was held, with refpel to the Ecelefiaf tical Ellabliflments of the Country, which it was neither decent nor jolt to ufe. He fhould attend to the principle of the meafure as well as to the provilions of the Bill ; and though his anxiety was as great to fee his fellow fubjels comfortable and well fed, as any perfon in that Houfe, yet he cau tioned their Lordfhips as to the effea of holding out Talk hopes with refpeet to this meafure. Con fidering it with refpeet to the principle, he was at tached to that old Englifh maxim which ordains that property Ibould be alienated by Parliament alone; and in order to thew that certain provi flons in the Bill claffied with this principle, he en tered into tome details refpeding the fame, parti cularly as they areded the rightsof Commonage; and contended that by them property was difpofed of without the concurrence of Parliament. He made a variety of obfervations refpcfting the powers of the propofcd Board, and, as we under flood his Lordffitp, of thole to be truftcd in the Judges by die Bill, on points in which he teemed to doubt that the judges thetnfelves were competent to decide. What related to the article of Tidies involved carious and weighty confiderations r and he alluded to what Rime modern Writers of a cer tain defcription had held out upon that point, namely, that if the Right of Tithe were once got over, Landed Tithes could be eafily affeeted, the principles of Jullice Ihould he better attended to when that fubjeet was in confideration. He then touched upon the patronage to be invefted by the Bid, and its attendant expeaces, which he thutight tendered it, with refped at leap to its origin, fitter for the meridian of the other lirfe. His opinion was, that inilead of the Mtafute's proving economical, it would turn out the reverie, and as it then flood, would impede rather than promote a fyftem of Inclofure, and that in its effeds it would prove more burthenfome than the prefent mode, as well as create endlefs litigation.—ln concluding, his Lordfhip obferved, that he cer tainly fliould hold it his duty to oppofe the Bill, even after coming out of the Committee, if it fhould come out no better than it went in. The Duke of 13VDTORD Paid, he heartily willed a Bill could be devifed, that fhould expedite the paffing of enclofure Bills, and Wren the expence of paffing them, kwhich was at prefcnt enormous. — With regard to what the Noble and Learned Lord had Paid of the Refelutions come to, at a meeting in one Riding of the county of York, and fent round to the Grand Juries, he had not been pre fent at the meeting, but if he had, he Mould cer tainly have concurred in what was done, and not have thought that he was alling improperly, or unconftitutionally. With regard to enclofures, he (poke upon the fubjed from Tome experience, and he believed if the Refolutions come to two Se(lions ago, had been enforced, they might have produc ed fome good ; thofc Refolutions, their Lordthips might recoiled, provided for the more eafy and expeditious mode of ferving notices, and obtain ing confents. His Grace clef - canted at fome length I on this part of the fubjed. The Earl of Rossi. re expreffed confiderable ap prehenlrons of the effcd which a meafure of this kind might produce. He viewed it with jealoufy, as likely to trench upon the old eftablithed laws and cutloms interwoven in the Conititution, and thought that in fuch times as there, the greateft caution fhould be obferved, in introducing any fyitem of innovation. His Lordihip exprefsly ob jeded to the propofed plan of veiling in the Grand Juries, at Quarter Seffions, a judicial power of de cifion in cafes of propofed inclofures. This was a bufinefs with which he [did not fee they had any right to interfere. The Grand Juries were affem bled but for a very fhort time, when a variety of neceffary bufinefs came before them. They could neither have time nor opportunity to linen to con ceited claims of Commonage, nor to the objedions of thofe who might think themfelves aggrieved by plans of particular inclofures ; nor did his Lord ship believe, if he might judge of the future from the pail, that fuch inclofures would increafe the Agricultural Profperity of the country, in any de gree to the extent that had been fuppofed. Many who had formerly applied for inclofures had found the expence attending them fo great, that after a year or two, they had been induced, in order to repay themfelves, to convert their arable into par cure land. His Lordfhip particularly noticed a printed Report which he believed had found its way into the Annals of the Board of Agriculture, Elating the refult of a furvey made by two farmers from Exit Lothian in Scotland, on fome agricul tural diaries in Yorkfhire. There two Scotch farmers had far exceeded the bounds of modera tion, for they prefumed freely to remark upon and cenfure matters of political economy, with which their Agricultural Survey had nothing to do.— They had derived all their ideas from the different cuflorns and circumitances of their own country, and condemned whatever in this country was not found by them to correfpond. Hence they took upon dem to cenfure the fyilem of the Poor Laws, and of Tithes, becaufe neither of there was efiab lifted in Scotland, and molt probably retailed the Ale-houfe converfatims and fentiments of thole with whom they affociated in their progrefs. Lord HOBART defended the Bill, nor was he aware that the alteration propofed in the method of deciding upon cafes of inclofure, would have the effect, or be attended with the inconveniencies which the Noble and Learned 'Lord had fuggeft ed. He fpoke of this Bill as the refult of the la bours of their Lordfliips' Committee, and coming with the authority of their rcemmendation, after they had been at great pains to ispreiligate the bell means of preventing a recurrence•of that fcarcity with which this country had lately been vifited.— He trufted that the Bill would be fuffered to go into a Committee, when it might undergo fuch corredions °reiterations as might be judged proper. Lord SOMERVILLI fpoke in favour of theßilk Lord CARRINGTON adverted to the printed Re. port of the two Scotch farmers employed in an agricultural tfurvey of a certain difirid in York fhire. He raid, he found that Report was printed, and he believed the farmers in queftion had it printed in Scotland, at the time he had the honour of Prefiding at the Board of Agriculture.— That he had expreffed his furprife at the circum- Rance, and had taken means to prevent any paper to be printed by any of the fubordinate agents of that Board, without the immediate direiftion and fuperintenclance of the Board. Lord Soularixis (aid A few words in explan ation. The Earl of &moil approved of the meafure, as calculated to turn the attention of the public to Agricultural purfuits, which mull form the balls pu of blic profperity. The landed interens of the country, and their Lordfhips in particular, were deeply • interefled in this meafure. In vain could Manufiklures be carried on with fuccefs, without an attention to Agriculture as the ground-work. He learnt that at this prefent time France was bending much of its attention to this point, and that the had the wifdom to difcern wherein her true flrength and greatnefs confined. She had for merly had two great and renowned Statefmen, Sully and Colbert, but inafmuch as the former en couraged Agriculture more than the other, he con fidered him as more deferving the appellption of a great Statefman than Colbert. He then adverted to the fituation of Ireland, and attributed the wretched and diforderly Rate of the peafantry in that country, to the want of encouragement of a liberal fynem of Agriculture, and to the oppreffive et e& of tithes. lit thefe refpeas he wifhed a dif ferent fynem introduced. The Bifhop of Sr. Davm's faid, he merely role to exprcfs his objeSion to any alteration of the pre fen: I.,ws on fubjea of tithes. Tlic Houle then agreed that the Bill flould be committed on Wednefday next, and the Lords to be fummoned.—Adjourned. HouSt OF CONIMoNg.
