INDIAN ADDY. The Earl of C A RLISLE, seeing some of his NI ijesty'i Ministers in their places, begged leave to ask them A question. He was not in the House when a Noble Dukes not then in his place, had asked his Majesty's Minist whether or not it was their intention to propose a vote of thanks to Lord Combermere and the Indian Army He understood the answer to have been, that high and -meritorious as were the services of Lord Comber and the Indian Army, they were not of such a charactisol -as-called for a vote-of thanks from their Lordships.. He wished to-know, now thstothe combined services of the -Army in-Indirhad been concluded, and the war had 'been brought to a successfuLtermination , if the Ministers Aid not think it right to move a vote of thanks to the whole? He had less scruple in putting the question, tbecause he understood a notice had been given in ano ,tber place, of a notice for a vote of thanks. The-Duke of WELLINGTON answered, that in the absence of his Noble-Friend, he could only say, that be :had reason to-believe a vote of thanks would be pro loosed after the holidays. ADJOURNSIINT 07 WIZ RODS& The Marquis of LANSDOWN also wished to ask a question, but of a much less .military nature than the , and of less national importance. He wished to a-k any day were yet fixed for the adjournment of Par- liament, and if it were yet settled, of what duration the " holidays would be? The Duke of WELLINGTON said be could give not answer till be had seen his Noble Friend. -On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDQWN, the. •Costs of Distress Bill went through a Committee, mil was reported to their Lordships, with Amendments; which, the Noble Marquis said, would make the Bill snore efficacious, and prevent brokers and others from levying more than a certain amount for costs, and pre vent them from miring a distress for rent with tithes and poor rates —Several measures was forwarded one -le.—Adjourned.

'COUNTY PIRC OFTICE PSTITION. •Mr..HOBHOUSE, pursuant to notice, begged to 'present a Petition, signed by 1700 respectable indivi. duals (600 of ahem were his constituents), the Direc tors and •Subscribers of the Count/ Fire Office, com plaining of charges alleged against them by the 14:h Report of the Revenue Commissioners of Inquiry, of whom the Right Hon: Gentleman opposite (Mr. Wal ice) was Chairman. This Comminies was insituted originally for Ireland, and was subsequently emended to Szcaland and England, and of course included the Revenue relations with the Stamp Office—relations that involved the Stamp Policy Duties paid by the Assurance Offices. The petitioners belonged to one of those Of fices, and were a most flourishing Company, with a large capital, And with assurances of one million of po lic'es. Toe County Fire Office Company was inquired, into by the Commissioners, and, pursuant to their coin anaods, the books of the Company (four coach loads), and other explanatory documents of their dealings and transactions, were laid before the Commissioners. The fact of an inquiry so public into their proceedings attracted public Attention and curiosity; the result was 'rumours most injurious to their interests, and most dis reputable to the Directors—rumours going so far as to say, that en Exchequer prqcess was issued against the Company fur fraudulent practices. The Directors were naturally anxious to investiaate the causes of these reports; and their Chairman, Mr. Barber Beaumont, wrote three letters, rather intemi.erately couched, de manding an inquiry, and challenging the fullest •in- NCtllsAtt.rn. Z . V.;• Irflit;0[111 aCairC, h. NRI•1I• cowry to say. WAS not acceded to •by the Commissioners, and the 'Directors had to await the 'Report of the Right honourable Gentleman and his colleagues. The first charge he (Mr. llobhouse) had eo mate to that Re port was, that it was not as the Act of Parliament insisted, made one month after the Sitting of Parlia tow. It was not made till the 26th of May, 1.826 ; and, owing to the immediee Prorogation and Dissolu tion of Parliament, was too late for the Petitioners to appeal against. Tne next charge was more serious— it was that the Commissioners acted upon the evidence of perjured informers, clerks of infamouscharacter dis missed from the Office for misconduct, and refused to -grant the least minute of the evidence of these infor mers, or to furnish any legal means of bringing them to justice for their perjury. The Hon. Gentleman then entered into a long statement of the suspicions of the Solicitor to the Stamp-office, Mr. Godfrey Sykes which, he said, were the sole cause of the injury, and which were founded upon thervidence of one Shepherd, it convicted felon; and one Bligh, a notorious informer. If such evidence was received, there was an erfd to commercial credit; and if subsequently refused to be' communicated to the parties interested, there was an' • fad to commercial security. Besides,the evidence was • only in reference to the conduct of Country Agents of the Company, and had nothing to say to the Directors, who secured the revenue against the frauds of their * ch eats.

He (Colonel Sibthorp) must say, that if the statement of the petitioners was correct, he regarded the proceeding against them as little better than a species of secret assassination. Mt. WALLACE said, that as the patties felt theol ogises aggrieved.they had justly appealed to the House; hat he had to complain of many of the remarks. The Commissioners were bound to receive the evidence ad duced before them; and having received it, how could they strike oitt parts of it? in the Report, they did not say they admitted the evidence; on the contrary, they evaded notice of it in the most marked manner. The Commissioners Reports bad received great approba tion, but in n-i part of the inquiry had there been more unaniroity amongst the Commissioner s than in what ' they had said regarding the County Fire Office. Cer tain unlucky, or rather undesirable, discloireres were made in course of the investigations; being made, the Commissioners did not feel that they could suppress any !Mcons of them. How the minutes had been made he could not t 11; they were printed for the ex press use of Parliament, and they could not be made public without the special approbation of the House. He could not conceive that evidence taken for the Members should be accessible to others ; such was not the object of printing the minutes. As to the conduct of certain wit nestes,t here had been no particular desire to protect dies": It was impossible in such inquiries to avoid touching di character of particular individuals; and if such inquishi toiled power of commissions were limited, there would. be an end of their utility. As to the Commissional' instituting this inquiry instead of the Stamp Board, they were expressly anointed to investigate the mode of" collecting the Revenue, kc. The Stamp department which collected 7,000,0001. annually, obviously :Nuked investigation; it was a prominent and important depart ment; and to have negietted inquiry would have been to neglect their duty. fhe Stamp OfFrce had to superin tend the duty paid on Fire Insurances ; and hence inquiry. IThe Act of Parliament pose. ibed the mode of changing and paying for duty. but there was this one Office that chose to construe the Act diffetently, and to depart from the meal mode of accounting to the Scamp Office. The accounts and affidavits did not refer to each other, 'as was required, and it was obvious how much fraud might be inflicted under such pract ces; and it did not' appear that there a me the accurate investigations made that were contemplated. The practices had been fault as to the manner--the country returns being noticed, without the state of the receipts where the sums welt aanally paid.Hs complained of practices of paying duties that were afterwards not required ; and this gave to the Office the appearance of doing more business than it really did. This excited suspicion ; for though the revenue did not lose by it, the noble generosity seemed most extraor dinary. The anonymous information had been attacked —but no u• eful enquiries could be prosecired, without attending to such evidence; it was not who sent the in formation, but what was the intelligence forwarded. Such information, of course, could only be received as hints— it could am, unsupported, be acted upon. Two, of the cases, adduced by the anonymous authority had been found to be incontestibly proved, then the Corn missieners were bound to prosecute further inquiry.' Mr. Sykes had been stroogly attacked ; but might not Mr. Sykes have had meth better reasons for his ac tivity and conduct than the Hon. Member was aware of? Mr. Sykes had only zealously done his duty, and the Commissioners could not evade; but the office ad returned the accounts in the usual way, and was considered as having been proscribed by the Act. Doubts having been raised, they were justified in send ing for "persons, papers, and records;" and after such suspicious citcemstances, Mr. Sykes bad only dis charged his duty. But here was the evidence of nine! persons tespecting the office—not that of an anony- 1 anus individual ; and the waste-book of the office, together with letters from the Scotch agent, &c. proved the statements regarding the returns for duties in respect of !certain claims. He admitted that mi... taken in so great an office, might occur, which corn mos charity ought to overtook ; but when there was a division on such matters, common charity could not overlook, however that fraud was contemplated, if not on the part of the office, by the clerks or somebody. The disclosures were riot made by Mr. Lye, but came out accidentally in the course of other inquiries; and there was no intimacy between Mr. Lye and Mr. Shep herd's witnesses examined. He would declare that the clerks could not have done what they did without in. structions. If that were si, he came to the result, than the claims made by the office wete unfounded. It was distinctly in evidence, that nothing of any, importance was done in the office without the geneill inspection and special instructions of Mr. Barber Beau-, mont ; but_ whether the unfounded claims wete known to Mr. Beaumont, it was impossible not to make the office answerable for them—(Hear). The items' treated as a few shillings, or mere joke, or mistake,. amounted to upwards of 7001. and to that extent there was fraud upon the Government, by whom committed , be did not say; but they were illegal claims. As to Mr. Beaumont having touched the money, he did not believe that such individual had touched one farthing. Thoseitems were treated as all the charges—they were not sued. The claims had been numerous, and par& claim claims were made at two separate times, and in a very suspicious manner. Mr. HOBHOUSE.—Where do those facts appear? In the Report, or Appendix, or where? Mr. WALLACIL••••I derive these facts from subsequent examinations--(Hear, heat). Mr. HUME said, such course was not orderly ; if [ there were other examinations, they ought to have the , opportunity of seeing them—(Heat). The SPEAKER remarked that there was no viola ' tion of order; the fairness-of the proceeding was ano ther question. -Sir it. WILSON appealed to the Right Hon. Gentle- Illon's liberality—whether it was right to quote docn leneets which were not accessible to other Members? Mr. WALLACE observed that he had only appealed to such facts, the charges having been denied; and he added that the irregularities might have been carried to a much greater extent. The inquiry was most just. But if the office were aggrieved, he knew of no sanctity proprietor __ _ posing upon him the particular duty of executing laws, which tt becamihis private interest to relax and evade; nor could the Petition overturn the' charge against the Fire °Mei ; for instance, his asking for two particular numbers of Policies, and being supplied with them—and the circumstance of a cloak having seen. in Mr. Beau-i moat's hands, at the Fit e Office, a paper containing these' identical numbers, in the handwriting of the petitioner; now that fact alone wet sufficient against him. Thou fla sent for the clerk the same day, and told him there was an error in the numbers. Mr. B. himself, stated es examination that there were but three ways by which errors could be discovered—by examining the books— which would occupy a week before the discovery nadir be made; or by communicating with the agents in Scotland, a thing impossible . in the space of a few hours; or, lastly, by direct communication with she County , Fire Office. This fact was 0 strong that lie could not get over it—such as, if it were submitted to a Arial would inevitably bring down a verdict against -him. He concluded with remarking, that this was the first of the Commissioners Reports ihat had been attacked—a commission that had been most useful. • Sir R.IVILSON again condemned the introduction of new facts, respecting which the House had no means', of knowing anything. He then spoke of the ChinActa . ' of some of the witnesses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the pasties had every opportunity of establishing their innocence in Courts of Justice which Mere open to them, and is ,saying this, he was fully aware that Commissioners. is pursuing a public inquiry, ought to.be careful in affi ing a stigma upon the characters of any witnesses. 1 County Fire Office would have an opportunity of se pelting the charges, and in a few days that opportunity would be afforded them. I Mr. CURWEN said the charges had been hanging over the parties heads for more than two years, and it would therefore only be fair if the Commissioners had allowed them the means of vindicating themselves. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said. the public were much indebted to the Right Hon. Gen. deman and his colleagues, for the satisfactory 'stainer in which they had discharged the arduous duties re- I posed in them. They had done to in a straight forward. ' way, and in this particular case, they had avoided siding with thsone, or concealing from the other. -111 a should be haplirlf the pertiel accused could exculpate themselves. After the observations which had fallow from the Right Hon. Gentleman, he thought that dal objects of the Petitioners were fully answered ; and il l so, he trusted that the Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Hobhoestro would not think it requisite to'press the subject further., Mr. HUME contended that the report had not bees sufficiently explicit. The charge was that the Comity. Fire Office had been defrauding the country of 2.0001. a year for the Lt. t eighteen years. It was too satiates to be passed over, and the Commissioners ought to have been guarded in their report. He really felt inclined 0 move for a Committee of Inquiry to investigate dm charges; and if he did, he felt confident that the accused would be relieved from the opprobrium and disgratr imposed upon them by dik allegations. Theßt.Hon.Gent. defended the conduct of Mr. Sedgwick, which be thought had been very unfairly introduced in the tiepin by the Commissioners. He thought that Gentleman had been very much ill used, and that his interest had been sacrificed to a great deal of party feelings. He had known him fur some years, and believed him to be a man of the strictest integrity. Colonel DAVIES, in justice to the Commissioners, to whom the Public were very much indebted, felt it but it right to say. that the removal of Mr. Sedgwick was borne out by facts - They (the Commissioners) had taken much pains to perform their duties in the least painful manner, and for which they wits entitled to the praise Of the country. Sir F. BUHL:ftI' r thought that The House ought not to content itself with silently receiving the Petition ; he hoped that an inquiry would be instituted, which would exculpate the parties accused, and establish by consistent testimony, the innocence of what had hitheito been considered a most respectable Company. Surely they .were entitled to the ansende honorable, which, under Magna Chaste. was an inhetitance that pro tected their reputation, and, if carried into effect, :would defend them from the attacks of the Com- 1 missioners, which, morally speaking, went to asses s.ulate them in the dark. The Petition was signed by )3pwards of 1,700 respectable Gentlemen, and ,the House ought to defend them from the calumnies i prepagated by enemies in the dark. It an inquiry was called for. he should feel it his duty to support it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, in allowing that it was unlikely that such a respectable Office as the County Fire Office would connive at the frauds, still it must be conceded to him, that it was a fact which called loudly for investigation, and in pursuing that investiga tion, he thought that as a Public Board, the Commis sioners had taken up the investigation in the most delicate war possible. On the Motion that the Petition be printed, Mr. WAL• Lac e objected.to it. Mr. HOBHOUSE said the Right Hon. Gentleman had printed his Report—why should sot the Petition be printed ?—The mo.ion was agreed to. races or WOISIIIIN Mr. H. GRATTAN s.iid, as the motion of which be bad given notice was nut to be opposed, he should abstain from making any observations which could tend to excite animosity or hostile feeling. He would, therefore, simply move, that leave be given to bring in a Bill for the more effectual protection of houses of worship in Ire land—(Hear).—Lett was given to bring in the Bal. ARRESTS 101 DEBT. Mr. HUME rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, for leave to bring in a Bill for the better prevention of frivolous and vexatious ar. rests for debt upon mesne process, and for facilitating the recovery of debts accruing on deeds, bonds, bills of exchange, and promissory notes. The Honourable Member commenced by taking a brief view of the former and present state of the law on the subject of arrest for debt. By the llth and 12th of William, ' ne person could be arrested in Wales for less than 201. and , this was still the law there. Looking to the different value of money then and now, he should be disposed to extend the protection against arrest to 1001. His object, however, was to prevent -bt altogether. In the time of Geoff which a person might be arrested . and it was subsequently extended by , The consequence of this state of the it appeared by returns before the _ less than 800 persons confined for ursdes 201, the principal object of the Bill would be to, stellate the haw of d eb tor and CTeffiiiii-to Wslaficz Scotland. The whole (timber eonfine4 f o p., did not exceed 217 of 218, and a Solicitor salmi bad been 22 years in extensive him that, during the whole of that he hetet tent a peiton to prison for debt. He propose, Ist, to put an end to mesne process altogerhg, and give 'the creditor a ;Omer of attaching th e &b inr goods as'in Scothinds 2 d, with respect to bills midi. misiory notes, by this plan they wonkl be comiderrd debts confessed, and proceedings taken in the manner as if the verdict of a Jury , as now, lad obtained. ^He should provide, that before the goods the debtor tnuld be sold, notice should be given - Scotland. The consequence of this difference ' state of the law was, 'that-property stood upon a better footing in Scotland than here, for not more fifteen shillings upon every thousand pounds was there in discounting bills. It appeared by arms the total number confined under mesne process 1141. A very large proportion of this number have gone to - prieon in consequence of frivolous vexatious arrests. The Has. Gentleman concluded moving for leave to bring in the Bill. ' The ATtORNEYZEN ER AL said if the Hon.: Munn could devise a plan for preventing the nscessi of 'arrest, he must have the concurrence of every —The principle of substituting attachment for , might be applicable in' some -Cases, bet in others property of the debtor might not be tangible. feared •that • part of .the plan which related mode of proceeding on bills and promissory would not much reduce the - number of the unfortunate inhabitants of gadls. It was rather a sort innovation, for hew were parties, if bills and note s considered debts, to defend themselves against '- demand of payment ? He feared it would be to introduce into London the same kind of which existed in the commercial department 7 burgh. He should, however, be perfectly give the Bill a fair consideration. Mr. HUME said that peovision was made , for the objection stated by the Hon. and Learned tkman with respect to . Bills.—Leave was given in the Bill.
