PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JAN. 4. A Meeting took place this day, in purfuance of their Lordfh►ps' laft adjournment. Prayers were again read by his Grace the Arch. bifhop of CANTPREURY. Some private bufinefs was difpofed of, which principally conf►fled of Petitions for private Bills, and arrangements for hearing of Appeals. Lord WALs: NC HAM brought in a Bill to difiblre the marriage of Charles Badges Woodcock, Efq. wi►h Ann, his now wife, late Ann Crof4ie, and to enable him to marry again, and for other purpofes therein mentioned, which he moved to be now read a firft time. In reading the Bill, the LORD CH A tit aLLoR par ticularly read the breviate thereof, which in fub • fiance fet forth, that the parties, Mr. and Mrs. Woodcock, were married in the courfe of the year 179 o; that tome time in 1794, in . confequence of their not agreeing well together, a deed of repara tion was mutually executed. That in Tome time after, it was alledged an unlawful intercourfe was detefted between her and Mr. Hutchinfon, who, it was aliened, had fhortly after' left the country, from which he was abfent feveral years, and in confequence, as the Petitioner Hated, he was ad vifed that an ataion for damages could not regu larly be brought againa Mr. Hutchinfon in the Courts below ; but that, in the interval, the ne ceffary proceedings had been inaituted in the Ec clellailical Courts, where the ufual fentence of di vorce between the panics was pronounced in fa vour of. Mr.:Woodcock, Ste. On the queflion for the fecond reading of the Bill, The Loan CHANCILLOR quitted the Woolfack, and deemed it incumbent upon him to offer to their Lordthips an obfervation upon the cafe, which he thought one of a rather fingular nature, and re quiring a degree of ferious confideration. The breviate which their Lordibips had jnft heard read, afforded them an outline of its merits. What he fhould firft have to call the attention of the Houfe to, in the prefent indance ' was the circumftanae, that recurrence was not had to his Malay's . Courts below, as was the regular cuftom in all fuch cafes. The reafon alledged l'or this was, the abfence of the offending party from the country. It was cer iain that their Lordfhips bad no pofitive order againft entertaining Bills of Divorce, on the fob s& of which a verdiQ of a Jury of the country was not recurred to, on the queftion of, whether the party was entitled to damages ? but at the fame time, it was equally well known that their Lord- Blips were not in the habit of receiving Bills in which fuch an omiffion had occurred; there was alto another circumftance, of (till more important confederation, in the prefent cafe, namely, that the parties had, previoufly to any alledged ground for the prefent meafure having taken place, entered into a deed of reparation. With refpe& to this point, their LordfhiPs would recoiled that it was lately held in the Courts of Waminfter Hall, that fuch a voluntary proceeding tended to obviate the grounds of claiming for damages in fuch a cafe, as by that ad it was eFear, that the Petitioners parted with the/ditties, of marriage ; for the lofs of . which the compenfation in the 'ray of damages was obvi bully given. There peculiar circumflances forcibly Itruck him as requiring fome ferious confideration, Ind a rather longer paufe than ufual on the part of the Houle. Under this impreffion, he thought the firft day of neat month cgold not be deemed tgio late a period for the fecond reading of the Bill, moved the Noble and Learned Lord then regal irl; moved fitould be fixed for the fecond reading of tke Bill, and which was ordered accordingly. The ufual orders were then made for the atten dance of the parties, &c. on the diy fixed fur the fecond reading of the Bill. The Earl of CASSILLIS, one of the Scots repre tentative Peers, was (worn and took his feat. Some routine butinefs was then difpofed of, after which, the Houfe, on the motion of Lord Wal.. fingham, adjourned till Thurfday the 14th. • HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. GAlTalsaear brought up two Petitions againft opening the DiftiSeries. The Soucrroft GENZRAL brought up a Petition from the prifoners confined for debt in the gaol of Aug Wry, praying for relief.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Sir E. KNATCHISULL prefented a Petition from fevcr..l per lons refiding in the city of Rochefter, againft the RochJkt Gaol Bill.—it was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Paid Bill. Mr. CORRY brought up an account of the amount of the 6 per cent. duties, for the loft five years.— Ordered to lie on the Table. _ - - Mr. Coats' laid, he took this opportunity of giving notice, that as loon as public bufinefs*Was recanted, he Would beg leave to call the attention of the Honfe to this fubjet. The CHANCELLOR of the Excasopze.—" Sir, on the laft occafion when this Houle was affem bled, I thought it my duty to propt,i;.: an nartirri ment only for a Own period. The confiderations which at that time operated upon my mind, arc, to a certain degree, now in force, at leaft to a fuf ficient degree to induce me to make nearly a fimi hr propofition ' • at the fame time I have the fatif faaion.to ft ate,that the force of thefe circumftances is fo far dimini(hed, as to convince me that it will not be neceffary for me to detail them to the Houle. I (hall therefore move to adjourn to Thurfday fe'n night, atwhich time I (hall probably have to move to adjourn to the period at which it was originally intended to propofe an adjournment for the Chrift mas Holidays."—He concluded with moving that the Houle fhould, at its tiling, adjourn to Thurf day fe'nnight.—Agreed to. MC CHANCELLOR of the EX C HMI?
