HOUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 19. After Come routine bufinefs was difpoled of,their I Lordfhips proceeded to the Order for the third reading of the Glenken's Canal Bill. On which Counfel were direfted to be heard, and accord ingly Meffrs. Adam and Dallas were called in. The former was heard At confiderable length againti the Bill, and particularly on the part of Mr. Borry, a mint r, the proprietor of certain Fitheries liable to be ferioufly affeaed by the courfe of the projetted Canal. In concluding, the Learned Counfel urged, that what he had ad vanced thould lead to the rejetlion of the Bill, and chiefly on the ground, thould it pals in its prefent (late, of letting a very injurious precedent ; at leaft, he contended, that Tome very material alte rations in certain Claufes of the Bill were necef- Cary. The hearing of Counfel was fufpended, while a number of Bills were brought up from the Corn mons by Mr. ALEXANDER: Tome of thefe were re turn Bills, but among the original Bills were the Confolidated Fund, Lord Hutchinfon's Annuity, He of Man Trade, Southern Whale Fifhery, the Kingfton Port, Uncertificated Bankrupts, and Deer- haling Prevention Bills. Mr. Dallas was then heard at tome length in fi:.uort of the Glenken's Canal Bill. After the Counfel had concluded, s s . ....... ..._ ____ .. The LORD Cumicaccoa expreireci his opinion, that it would he better to poftpone the further con fideration of the Bill till Monday. However, what had pallid rendered it neceffary to trouble the Houk fhortly upon the fubjed, in the prefent in- Dance. His Lordfhlp then made a variety of ob fcrvations upon the Bill, molt of which contained ftrong grounds of oblation to the meafure.— Among other remarks. he obferved, that if the prefer% ation or fecurity of private property was one of the leading principles of the Conftitution of England, and whenever this was affected by the Ads of the Legiflature, it was always done with a reference to the principle ofeompenfation ; but in the prefent Bill it was not fettled how the damages which may be awarded by a Jury were to be paid. Another objation was, that by it, the Proprietors of Settled Eftates were to be permitted to fell part of the fame, in order to purchafe !hares in the iatended Navigation. Why it was propokd to lodge certain monies under the Bill in ti.e Chancery of England, he could not tell, but he could not refrain from obferving, that the arrange. ments which were made refpeCting certain Private Bills, and particularly Canal Bills, as affeeing the Court of Chancery, in effect went to render the Matter of the Rolls and the Chancellor the Under Clerks of all the Clerks of thole Concerns. A great deal of time was loft with reified to the re gular buChers of that Court by thole regulations, which, however, his Lordfhip teemed to fay, as far as they related to Private Eltate Bills, had a falutary effect. Upon the whole he never heard of fuch a Bill as that in queftion—it was half pri vate and half a public bill, and one elaufe towards the end, went to render it wholly a Public Ad : it was framed partly in compliance with their Lordlhips, and partly againft them, and he agreed with the Learned Counfel, that fhould the Bill pals in its prefent fhape, it would go to let a very dangerous precedent. He concluded by moving, that the further confider:) ion of the Bill be poll poned till Monday. Lord HOLLAND fpoke at fome length in fupport of the Bill, and endeavoured to do away fome of the politions of the Noble and Learned Lord. He hoped the Noble Lord would bring on the difcuf !inn on Monday, and he conjured the Houle to that etre& He referred to the long and rigorous examination of its merits before the Committee, and alto that day at the. Bar. After the trouble and expence the parties were at, the lots of the Bill would be a ferious confidtration, which, were the difcuffion piteponed be)ona Monday, f or were the Bill amended in a certain manner, he feared would be the cafe. The LARD CHANCCLLOt and Lord HOLLAND feverally fpoke in explanation. The queftion was then put, and the further confideration of the Bill was poilponed till Monday. The various bills before the houfe were forward led in their fevcral 'lieges, and thofe recently brought up from the Commons were read a firft time. / On the queftion for the commitment of the Aliens Regulation Bill, Lord HOLLAND obferved, that his objeftions to the meafiire were fo ftrong, that he fcarcely knew how to propofe any Amendment, he therdore fhould not oppofe its commitment; but should he, on further confideration, feel a proceeding of that kind nectlary, it might be done in a fubfegnent ftage of the Bill, and he gave notice, that he fhould on Monday move that their Lordfhips be fum moned for whatever day the third reading of the Bill may be fixed. The Bill then pallid the Committee, with Tome Amendments propofed by Lord PELHAM, and at fcv o'clock their Lordthips adjourned till Mon . day. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
