Mr. Pousoisar moved that there be laid before the Houfe-- t it—A Liget Petitions on the Civil Eflabliflunent of Ireland. with the untold dwgrants,and the date of the fame up to the 25th of Maeda*. Itel••••An Dismoset the Civil and Military Ellablidiments in aioret 'riot la December LIR, with an Account of the Expencrs relative to the fame. air—Ths zc Perim, who leered, or were Nodal to fi b ril oth—AnAstountahigibltrotion of the food 3,4e0p001. granted to the Compillion. of Compenfation. On the fir* motion being put, Mr. Cotter Paid, the accounts which would in a day or two be laid upon the Table, would moll probably contain the whole of the information re quired by the Honourable Mover. The delay in prefeating thefe accounts, he had every radon to think, was owing to its being neceffary for the Clerks in the Treafury in Ireland to make them out in a way different from that in which they had been accuftomed, and hoped the Hon. Oentleman would defer his motion, at leaft until he had an opportunity of feeing there accounts. Mr. Possoxsy laid, if he was certain the ac counts intended to be prefented comprehended the whole of what he required, he fhould have no ob jeftion to the delay p d. But if they were deficient, a delay wcu r be f incurred in procuring the oeceffary papers, which he writhed to avoid ; betides, as be was under the meaty of leaving town for a few days, on bufinefs of a very preffiz nature, a Rill greater delay would occur. though the papers to be laid on the Table did con tain what he required to know, Bill he law no caufe for refafing his motion on the fuppofition that they might not do fo. Mr. Tisasev hid, the accounts to be prefented would lump in one mars what his Hon. Friend wanted to have diffinftly Rated. He could fee no objeftion to the motion—by acceding . to It, the Houk would only occafum a little additional work to a Copying Clerk. The CRANCELLOR of the Exca copse raw no ob jeciinn to producing the accounts, yet he thought that a little delay would not be attended with is. convenience ; and it might prevent the Houk UPI jail crowdepl with papers. Mr. Poisson ST repeated his doubts whether the papery about to he prefented, would contain the information he'required. The motion was then put from the Chair, and agreed to. saws Nona mum' &ILL. On the Motion that the Spetker do leave the Chair, . v ^Co AD , • of Scorsams laid, it was • - The Lo►D ADVOCATI of from fome c co v Wfa i a" - which he . had had on the fubjea, with the framers of it, he fhnuld not now do fo, as he found it was not intended by the Bill to trench on the privileges of the Banks of Scot land. He however fhould referve to himfelf the privilege of propofing, in the progrefs of the Bill, fuch amendments as he might confider neceirary. Mr. Roa SON thought the nation at large entitled to the advantage of every difcovery. He dif approved of the monopoly which this Bill gave to the Bank of England, and could not fee why it fhould get the preference, to the exclufion of pri vate individuals. _ . Mr. ALLARDICE confidered it as a hardThip that other Banks fhould not have the fame advantage of proteCting thernfelves from forgery with the Bank of England. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH fupported the Bill. He confidered it as a fecurity to the public. He thought it a hardlhip where the public were com pelled to take Bank Paper in payment, that they had not the means of telling whether it was good or bad. Under the idea that this Bill would go to remedy the evil, and confequently be of general utility, he fhould fupport it. Mr. Jowss raid, the " Bank of England were once Gold Merchants, now they are Paper Mer chants--this is the folld fyftem of finance."—(Ex . hibiting a torn Bank Note). Mr. Jonasow oppofed the Bill. Mr. WM. DL/NDAS thought it an advantage that the Paper of the Bank of England fhould be dif tinguifhed from all other Paper. Sir FRANCIS BAR ING thought the di ftingnifhing the Paper of the Bank of England would be of public utility, becaufe it would ellablifh a differ ence between Paper and Paper, and obtain for the Bank of England that confidence to which it was entitled, by giving a fecurity to the holder of the Bank of England Paper, that what he was in poi feffion of mutt be genuine. Mr. blicnott. differed from the Hon. Baronet. He difapproved of making a diftinCtion between Paper and Paper. Mr. PSELE thought it no hardfhip that the Bank of England fhould hate difcrlminating marks which private individuals bad not. Forgeries were become fo alarmingly ertenfive, that it be hoved the country to aid the Bank in fuch mea. Cures as may put a flop to thein, He confitlered the Bill of great utility, as it would prefervp the credit of the Bank of England all over Europe. He wifhed the Route to confider that the circula tion of the Paper of the Bank or England was not confined to this country, it extended itfelf over Europe, and he thought any meafure which tend ed to confirm that credit to which it was entitled, mutt be of ultimate advantage ; and nothing could do fo in a greater degree thail by the holder Of Bank Paper, either at home or abroad, being . cer tain he could not be impofed upon in the fpecierof Paper he was in poffeffion of. For thee =slots he would fupport the meafure, anclivoic Fir the SPeaker'ileaving the Chair: Mr. Hosnouss approved th'e (o as it went,.but regretted the Right. Han. Mover of .it had not endeavoured to devife finnethitts for the protection of the Country Banks, 4.,*is PtoPoria in a former Bill which had 'been niihdraten. for reafons he could not comprehend. He rumored this meafure of particular partiality 10 the Na tional Bank was in purfuance of that fyllem of re ciprocal favour which had fo hag previilecr be tween the Adminiftration and that eftabliflimeni as in the cafe of the Commutation for Stamps which Minilters tome years back entered into with the Bank, by which the public Revenue was deprive of the confiderable advance it moll have derive from the increafed circulation of Bank Notes which had fince taken place. He complimented ttie Hon. Bart. who had announced his intention or fpeedily bringing forward a meafure for the keit rity of the Country Bankers. Mr. THORNTON difclaimcd any other motive on the part of the Bank Directors, •in preparing the Bill, than that of a folicitude for the public good, as it mull be obvious they were not liable to pay forged notes. He defended the ComMuttition for Stamps to which the lalt Speaker had alluded as a fait public contrail. • Crane! ELTORD raid, the Bill teemed to be much mifunderflood ; the very end and °hie& of it mull be defeated, if theemarks defcribed in the Bill were allowed to be tiled by other Banks. Mr. HOB NOOSE explained. TheCH AN C E EMIR of the EXCH EVEIL raid, lie did not feel it neceffary to enter .into any vindication of the centre% formerly entered into with the Bank rerpeCting Stamps. It was a meafure pub licly concluded by the Government, and had been fanilioned and recognized by Parliament as a mea. fore of juftice and policy. He fupported the Bill before the Houle, becaufe it vsas calculated for the moll humane and beneficial purpofes, and was not by any means influenced by confiderationi of per fonal attachment to the Bank DireCtors. It was a millakin idea to fuppofe the meafure refulted from any motive of peculiarly benefiting that in ftitution ; and it was more miflaken to imagine that-it could ever have been defigned to difcrtdit the Country Banks, which were confeffedly fo advan. eagcous in carrying on our inland . concerns, but who were not fo liable to forgery, for they held out no temptation fo ftrong, nor did they by the extent of their circulation, afford fuch facilities to the offenders as the National Bank. They were not however precluded from ufing Inch devices as they might think proper for their own fecurity. The Bill on the Table only propofed to confine a certain difcriminating line to the Bank of Eng land, whore protation againft forgery more im. mediately concerned the - Le . giflature, as its ince sells were doubtlefs more intimately interwoven with the Empire than that of the Country Banks. The ATTORNEY GENERAL argued ftrengly in fupport of the Bill, as extremely well eakulate4 to prevent forgery. The motion was agreed to. The Houfe having refolved itfelf into the Committee, the claufes were read and, with force amendments, agreed to. The Report was received, and the Bill ordered to be printed, and taken into further confideration on that day feasoitht.—Adiounied. r -4 ! IMNIIII/M..N1.0 • " N . • , r ,.
