PARLIAMENT/Mr PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS. In contquence of the Telethon of the Amend ment moved by Earl FITZ WILLIAM on the Addrefs moved by Lord HOBART on the Civil Lill Debts, on Monday, in the Houfe of Lords, the following Prottli has been entered:— DISStNTIENTBCCaUI it is inconfiftent with the duties of Parliament to bombes the Public Purfe with the unwarranted profufion of Miniften of the Crown, without examination and without vouchers efpedally as under the f lutary pmvifion of the 224 of the Ki ng it is difficult to imagine the poffibility of 111 years accumulation of debt without criminal contempt of the direction of the Legiflature. Becaufe fuch fanetion to unferutinized accounts tends to vin. late the independence and depreciate the utility of Parliament, at the fame time that it expofes the Crown to the reproach of a burthenfome debt, which might pollibly, on examination, be juftified by neeeflity, or the public good. (Signed) CAR NAIVON DUNDAS WaNTWORTII (Fltsvoilliam) HOLLAND. THugsDatt, ATEIL I. Cminfel were further heard relative to the Scotch Appeal, Galles v. Scott, .iamely Mr. Adam in continuation on the part of the Refpcntletits. Their Lordihips then deferred the for• thcr hearing of the cafe till to-morrow. Tbc various Lilis before the Houk were forwarded in their refpcetive fuges. Lord HoLzatto addreffed a few obfervations to the Houle, to call their Lordarips' attention to a nutobtx of Petitions which were on the Table, from perfous confused for Debt in different pam of the Kingdom, forge of which he had the honour of preanting himfelf. He did not feel hirnfelf com petent to fuggeft a or adequate mode for the relief of - thole KX:Mers, but he felt the leis anxiety on that account, on teeing a Noble Friend of his in his place, who had not only paid a con fiderable degree of attention, but had frequently come forward on the fulijea, and with a reference to what he alluded to, had given notice of his in tention to bring forward a Bill for the purpore of ameliorating thole parts of the Debtor Laws they had in contemplation. He would therefore take this opportunity, for the fake of relieving the anxiety which the unfortunate perfons in queftion mutt naturally feel on fuck an mention, to in quire of his Noble Friend, when he intended to bring forward his propofed Bill The Earl of Mora* raid, he was glad that his Noble Friend had allied him the queition publicly and regularly in the Houle, as it afforded him an opportunity to make a very few obfervations, which he felt it rather neceffitry to make in the prcfent inflance : he adverted to the number of Petitions which were on the Table relative to the ' fubjetl, many of which he albo had the honour of prefenting : thefe were generally appeals to the humanity, of their Lordfltips, and confequently praying for relief. With refpe& to the as of prefenting thole Petitions, he conceived it to be the duty of every Peer to prefent them, in order to make known the alledged grievances of their fellow fubjetis to the Legiflature, even though individual Peers may not agree ,as to the pro priety of granting the prayers of there Petitions ; and for this reafon, that though they may think in that manner, other Peers may entertain different opinions. He was aware of the fituation of there nnfertunate perfons, and in fome points of view melt feel for it. 'lt was natural that perfOns in durefs muff feel their fituation irkfome, and ex prefs themfelves accordingly. There.was another confederation alio connefted with this part of the cafe : it was Elated that their wives and families loitered confiderably from their confinement.— This, however, in the very nature of things, and in the organization of fociety, was more or lets an unavoidable refult, not only in the cafe in queffion, lout in every inftance where delinquency was punifh ed. the relatives of the delinquent were collaterally affctaed ; it was impoffible to Mitt punithment without it. But however he may feel for thefe coufiderations, it was not on the ground of look humanity that he should call for the interference of the J.,:giflature, it was on the broad and gene ral principles ofjuflice, as applying to the general relations of Debtor and Creditor. He lamented that this part of the code fbould (land in fuch need of amendment, in a country where, in every other cafe, jultice was fo impartially adminificred.— After adverting to the very different circumflan ces under which Debtors we: c placed, diferimi nating the cafes of the wanton, the traud.llent, and the unfortunate Debtor, his Lordfhip teemed to fay, that their detention ought to be fanftianed by the juftice of the country, and not to proceed from thole perfons being rubjeaed to the will, or to the caprice of individuals : could belt be tffeacd b r referring the refpeetive cafes for es amioatinit to a proper and competent place, where the circnniflancec of each could be inviaftated, and thole diferiniinations made which he verted to for the kioufe would confider that hu manity fiir Creditors exifted as well as for Debtors, anti in cafes where finudulent or ctiminal condo& on the.part of the latter appeared, then what might tr deemed :proper to follow, would attach'upon coilliently with the general principles of Office: . Ifits ieTpeCt to the leading propolitions which he thotthiliaVe to bring forward on the fub jeet, his opinions were decided and well known; though this ride: be the cafe, he was at the fame time niclined to refer to the opinions of others, and in this view lie had to lament the indifpofition of two Noble and Learned Lords in the higheft legal capacities, from wienfe great knowledge and esttniive Information, derivable from their official fituatinn%, lie had to expel a confiderable degree of affiftance ; but-as thole Noble Perfonages were at prefetacircumftanced, it would not only be in convenient, but•impradicable to coiled their opi nions un the oecation—to there, however, as foon as the opportunity offered, it was his intention to recur in the way he had mentioned. His Lord (hip repeated, that what he had to propofe would not be on the grounds cf lopfe humanity to the debtor, but upon the juftice of the cafe ,• and as circontilances Rood, he feared it would not be in his power to bring forward the Bill before the Eafier rcccfs. Melfages from the Commons were then announ ced, in which, the Iri lh Expiring Laws Bill, and the Dundee Herring Bill, were brought up by Mr. ALli %ANDER, and four private Bills were brought up by Lord MOIL PATH, Mr. LEFEVIKE, and other Gentlemen. Theft Bills were feverally read i fluff time, after which their Lordfhips adjourned till to-morruw. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Puff!' Regifter Apprentice Bill was coin:ratted ; and, on the motion of Sir Wu. PULTENET, a Mae was introduced, etteneing the provifions of the Bill to Houfes of Indußry, and other fuck Pad& Inititutiona Th- Houle ?dinned, the Report of the Committee was re ceived, and ordered to be printed. Mr. VA II SITTA T prefrnted, purfuant to order, fe% eral Ar counts refpedling the produce of the Income T. z, and certain other Public Accounts.—Ordered to lie on the Table•. Mr. Tit itNEY prefented a Petition from the Fleftors of the Borough of Southwark, praying the Repeal of the Income Tax —Ordered to lie on the Table. Lord BELORAVt moved the feeond reading of the Bill for amending the Election Meeting Mt. Lord Teurie and Mr. &taros made fome ohjedtions to the provifions of the Bill, as in fome degree fubfeeting a nun to penalty if he thuuld, during the propels of an Elcetion, at tempt to perfonn the common duties of hofpitality. They alfu thought the Bill hoftile to the principle of the Grenville A ift They however hoped that Inch alterations would be made la the Committee ail fbould remove the objedtionable parts. Lord BELCItAVE replied lhortly to thole ftatements, after which the Bill was read a fecood time and ordered to be com mitted. Mr. N .11 TT AST give notice, tbat a motion would be made in the Committee of Supply, to-morrow, for grants, to make good the fums advanced for Corn Bounties, and alto to provide for certain Plantation Ettimates.
