PARLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS. exdot ts froin one country not a're nng w • !r.* int. • pas into the other, even making the due allowance fogy the non-arrival in one country, at the time when. the accounts had been closed of sess.is which had • zail:d previously to the termination of Lb., accounts in the other country ; and as tiie fame difference might still exist, he should move for the same ac counts stated according to the IL. ki of the Costonts in Ireland. The Earl of LAUDERDALE agreed that the present was not the moment for discussing the ques tion of the Corn Laws, but as the subject affected • O 9 oar the vital interests of the country,.but also . :Whigs of a great class of the community, it was ' • ,Iv -1 - that the Lentimeuts of his Noble Frieuct -1 shiuld d o forth i.ont that House He had ' ' last Sessioo egreed with Committee, that mote information . try, as there was then no complete the price at which foreign corn coulcl .itionwitheltat ef.reir.aviculturist k .- -...cite eriend was not justified rn — bis -state ments, if he should assert that the Report of the . Committee did not coritaia a most important missaf information as to the agriculture at' the country. espe cially when connected with that which he believed had been communicated from the Commais, and which, at any rate, all their Loidship; must Vivo seen. The principal deficiency was, as he had bef4e said, as to the price of foreign corn, but the vast im portations which had since taken place had removed . all doubts on the subject, and an end was rut to all speculations, by the notoriety of those itriport,ttion-. It had been argued by his Nehle Friend as if the measure which h td heed proposed is the last Session was a system of new laws on the importitian of grain'. On the other hand, it was the s.inie as the regulations which from the time of King William to the beginning of the present reign, had inevaiLd. It was indeed but a moditLation of the present 1 its , to the change cf times and the lucre re of taxation,— lie was obligei to differ from his N.,hle Friend as :o the conduct of the Executive Government in taking into their hands the proposed measure. While every other I;ne in which capital could be employed had been regulated by their interference, were they to abstain from taking any pari on so important a sub ject as that in question ? He was glad to see that they intended to take up the subject, and he should have been sorry it they had stood ny and saw a large . class hanging as a &el weight on the community, without making any ex:rtion, and although he was not in the habit of supporting them, they should have his hearty concurrence. Lord'GRLNVILLE said, that his Majesty's Mi nisters were fortunate in obtaining support so efficient as that of his Noble Friend (Earl of Lauderdale) in the cause which they had espoused. He had taken the opportenity of stating the opirtion he entertained. and Which; he feared, was opposite to tile 'general 7 opinion among their Lordships, and he hoped that the fear of any man, or of any number of men, would never induce him to conceal his opnion, that - tee measure which was to be proposed was fraught wit!' mischief to the community. But h' had not meant to assert that the Nle.mitet s of the Exot,u,ire Govern ment were to blaiw in turinnig or espressiug an opinion on any proposed measure ; but he lament ed, that in favour of one of which he ti-eaded the eif.cts, the persons who supported it were willing to add the influence which belonged to their official situations. • The motions were carried. The Duke of NORFOLK moved for the average ;price of s Corn in the maritime counties for the last three months. to moving it he obsei ved that, he believed, by law a power was vested is the Privy Council when Corn was at a certain price to impose 4 duty on importation. He wished to know wiretliet such power existed, and whether it was the intention . of the Government to exercise it ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, there was no such discretionary power in the Privy Council, and it WAS the last species of power which his Majesty's Go vernment would wish to possess. When Corn was under. a certain price in the maritime districts, the duty would absolutely attach. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the last six weeks was the period by the average of which the duty was regulated, the duty then remained for three months. • After a short conversation between tho Duke of Notteotc, the Earl of LAUDZ:MALE, the Earls of HAl:nov/11v and lianowle - ae, Lord GIUNVILLE and the Loan CuAxcr.t.on, the motion was withdrawn, for the purpose of being broaght forward in a mot., correct shape. . .

H. ULU', per. also two other Petitions presented by the Noble Em on the bailie subject, one of which was from the Landholders in the county at Berks. • rord GRENVILLE rose for the purpose of sub tinting to Mar I.:nth:hips a motion in some degree connected with the petitions which had been pre sen:ed by the Noble Earl ( man was more acsirous than he (Lard G.) was that the claims of those petitioners shuald rec,:ive due con,i• deration. No mats was m •re sensible of the diffi culties under which they laboured : and if he hid the misfortune of differing totally feom them as to the source:. from which those difficulties had arisen.. it was not from any insensibility to the magnitude of the distress which pressed upon the agriculturists of the country. Ile could not agree with the Noble Earl that no necessity existed for the renewal of the Committee which had been occupied* hi the list Sits- Won with the investigation of the.subjett of the Corn Laws. Although iv any persons hailiseen examined' Before that Committee, to explain die Ntirixtfoit'br. 4 l tween the prices of foreign and British corn, Yet the information on that branch ef the question was very imperfect . : and the evidence annexed to the Report contained a very partial and limited view of the whole subject, and was not at all calculated to enable their Lordships to proceed with confidence to legis late anew as to the means of subsistence of the coun try. It was incumbent on those who were of opinion that some measure was necessary, to lay before their . Lordships the ground on which that conviction was 10Unded; but he should not interfere with the shape in which they wished to submit it to the House ; if it should turn out to be satisfactory it was enough, but he had not met with any thing which had at all varied the strong opinion which he had entertained last year, that the measures which for two years past nad been proposed to Parliament, was not only an; just, by shif. mg the weight from those who oight to bear theru to those who ought not to bear them. —(Hear, hear) —but had a tendency to aggravate the evils under which the country suffered. The present was not the time to discuss the question, nor should he attempt to enter on it; and he had been induced thus often to express his opinion on the sub ject from the apprehension which he had formerly en t:rtaiiied, and which was then stronger, that when ar. gument might be supposed to have a weight there would be no time allowed for debate. 'llse Noble Earl ( kiardwicice) had expressed a satisfaction in which he (Lord G.) could not concur ; when he had stated that the measure which had been hitherto un successfully proposed was to receive the. support of the Executive Government of the country. The measure would have been mall better in other hands, and would have stood a better chance. for, fair discus. sion when proposed by an ' individual, than when brought forward, supported by all the influence which is attached to all measures proposed by the Executive Government. At any rate he hoped if the measure was to be discussed, that it would not be brought forward when the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, and one Temporal and one Spiritual Lord composed that third part of the Legislature, but at a time when it might meet ee that full cunsi. deration which a matter of such vital importance, as a law affecting the food of the coMmunitytequired, and which it would obtain in that Houle if brought before their Lordships at a time when attendance might be expected. He took no interest in the quo win, but that which as an Englishman he f. It in the peace and welfare of the country ; and he was con vinced that if the measure in question was taken up by the Executive Government, they never had pro. posed a law more calculated to injure boils. His Lordship then moved for an account of the Importa tion and Exportation of Grain between Great Bri tain and Ireland, in the several years from 1807 to the latest time to which they could he made up, according to the books of the Customs in Eng , land and Scotland. His Lordship then observed, that as on A fofmer occasion when accounts of the trade between the two islands had been presented, there had been a difference to an extent wlfch could notbe explained, between the accounts presented from the Custom-house Woks of the two countries; the TRIAL IW JURY. Earl S cANHOI'E said he esteemed himself for tunate in having been in that House on the last day of the last Session,, for he had then hear the most sensible and able speech from the NoLle Lord on the Woolsack which lie ever remembered, on the sohject of introducing the Trial by Jury into Scot. land. Ile had then given notice, that lee should, som.: time this S.:ssion, bring the subject before the House. Before the last adjournment the Noble Lord on the Woolsack had introduced a Dill, of which lie (Earl Stanhope) was glad to learn the Noble I.lrd was not the Author, it having been sent to h►m front Scotland. The author of that Bill seemed t- , bequi,a ignorant of the mode in which the Trial by Jury was catried on in England, and there was a gre it objec tion to the principle of the Bill, that the Trial by Jury was made optional, and that the Jury was to decide on some matter of tact instead of giving a general verdict; and the Judge was ordered to direct the Jtity as to points et law. The Bill which he ( Earl Stanhope) had to propose was of a plain and unambiguous .nature. It introduced the Trial by Jury as tt was in this country, with the institution of Special Verdicts. The gradual adoption of it he pro. vidcd for in this manner—that either party might for a certain number of years to come oblige the Jury to find a sl•ecial verdict, in order that any point might
