A Ferran franc tau Bank prLfeuud an uttoaut of the Unclaimed Elleiddikda due un the loth • I OduLrr, I Xoa, and unpaid on the s}d at Much, t 1ic5....-Ordered to Lk ou the Table. LuIRD DIFLVILLI% Mr. WHITBREAD role, in purfeanee of his no tice n Friday kit, to move for leave to bring in a 13.11 to indemnify all fuch perfons as fhould be requi- red to g ve evidence on the Impeachment of Lord Melvi.le, and who had feryed under hits at any time in the Navy Pay Office. He would Rate the regions briefly which obliged him to orig.aate this meafure this year, thungh ll.: was AWI:e that they mull, in force degree, be its the recollection of the Houle.— &vete' lawyers had given it as their opinion, that any ~f the queflioos which Mr. Trotter might be „ mane d to an f wer , might, if anfwered, fairly 'apple biltilf to the d angers o f inaccution. In order to obviate this difh‘uity, s. Bill was left year brought i n l e ind e mnity Mr. Tat-ate-. and Inch perfons as thould be required to gibe avidsuce in the cafe of Lord Melville, againft the ennfequenees of any erl minal profeention. The Honourable Baronet o'er the way (Sir William Elford) had then moved that the indemnity fhould extend to civil as well as di mina{ profecutions, in order to have the witorffes free from any bias whatever. This propofition of his had been agreed to, and the Bill, thus amended, fent to the Lords. Some difficulties had arifen in the Lords upon the fubjea, in confequence of which the indemnity, as to civil fuits, had been (truck out, and the Bill pallid in this dare ; the yieflion, how ever, terpeeing there civil fuits had been referred to the Judges, who were direeled to give their opinions within three weeks. The Bill had been rejeaed in the Commons, in confequence of the Lords' Amend ments, and he had brought in another, extending to criminal profeculion only, which had paired, and re ceived the royal feneth.o. In the mean time the three weeks had expired, and the Judges had given no opinion ; and miw, irr fad, there was no quaint] before them. In confequence of different events which had I.tely taken place, he had refrained from coming to the Houle fooner upon this bulinefs—but, however, as this delay bad taken place, he mull beg that the Bill might be carried forward with all pal. ble (peed, that it might be carried to the other Houle and that the opinions of the Judges might be taken, before they proceeded on the circuit. This was the more requifite, as every thing that had come under their obfervation proved that the evidence of Trotter was indifpenfably necelfary. It might be proper to fay a few words relative to the fituation in which the Committee Rood. They had proceeded in the talk aligned them with fcarcely the intermiffion of a day ; but it would be recolleaed that they had been obliged to carry on a long and laborious invelliga. don of a number of voluminous documents, public and private, and to feareh them very minutely, in order to ellablifh the articles which they had already preferred ; and that they had been under the necef fity of examining a variety of witneffes, mauyof them from dißant parts of the ifland, efpecially from the North. He hoped, however, that the Committee would boon be erabled to complete the bufinefs, as far as the Houle had hitherto proceeded. He thought it right to Rate, that it was intended to Re lent a fpecial Report to the Houle, refpeaing certain circumfiances that had come to their knowledge fence they had entered upon their labours as a Com mittee, with a view to lay the foundation for a frelh at tide or hells ankles, of impeachment againft Lord Melville. This, he Paid, in order to give the Houle all proper information refpeaing their proceedings, and to prevent any perfon from flying hereafter that he was taken by furprize. At the fame time, though the grounds of the Report were fettled, and the Re. port nfelf altuoß ready to be prefented, it was Rill thought proper to withhold it till Mr. Trotter could be examined. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to indemnify all pet lons at any time ferving in the Navy Pay Office, under Lord Melville, who &void give evidence on the impeachment voted by the Commons of the United Kingdom againll that Noble Lord, from the confequenees of any civil fuits to which they might otherwife be liable, owing to any tranfateions in which they themfelves might have been engaged, during their fervice in the laid office. Sir W. ELFORD obferved, that the ohjea of the Bill now moved for, teemed to be exactly the fame with that which he had thought necefEtry to fuggett lan year. His view was to render the witneffes free from all bias whatever, either on one fide or the other, and this, in bis opinion, was not to be effected without removing all fear of a liability to any clan- I ger from any thing they might ditclofe, either by I a criminal profecution or a civil full. Being of this opinion, he had, of courfe, fiiggeßed the amendment which had been carried in this - nonce. The Judges had certainly given no opinion, and in fall had re futed to give an opinion on a queltion put to them on loch a broad hafts. But, however, he hoped, that the witneifes !Mold be free from all bias, fo that every chance of jullice might remain both for the andthe public. With this view, he could have no objeeion to the Bill being brought in, and as the principle had already been recognized by the Houle, he law no reafon why it fhould not be fuffered to proceed with all the requilite difpatch. The quellion was then put, and leave given. Meffrs. Whitbread, Giles, atc. were ordered to pre. pare and bring in the fame. Mr. WHITBREAD then brought in the Bill, which was read a firft and fecond time, committed, reported, and ordered to be read a third tittle to morrow: ♦NNUITY BILLS. The Annuity Bills for Lady Nelfon, Lord Collinprood, Mid Sir Richert! Strachan were cornisitttetL.—Report to-morrow. TAX B. Mr. VANSITTART moved, That an Account Mould be laid before the Houfe of the Nut Produce of the Permanent and War Taxes, from tAtc sib of January, 11105, to the sth of Januars.ll3o6. —Ordered. WAY 4 AND MIAMI. Mr. VANSITTART moved the Order of the Day for the Hunk refolving itfelf into a Committee of Ways and Means. The Speaker having left the Chair, Mr. VANSITTART proceeded, in purfuance his notice on Friday !aft, to propufe the railing of five millions by Loans on Exchequer Bills, to carry on the public fervice for a time to be limited. The Com mittee mull be aware that this was neceffary for the prefent exigencies of the public fervice, which mull in this manlier be provided for during a petiod of two or three months. The turn now mentioned, he be lieved, would be fufficient for carrying on the fervice till the end of the prefect quarter. It any thing fur ther Ihould be required, it -might be•procured in the fame way. But there Bills were not to be confider ed as railed for the permanent aids of the year. They were only wanted for immediate fervice, and were to be made payable at the end of four months. They might be made good firm the Loan that mull be brought forward, from the War Taxes, or in any other way. At prefect this turn was to be confidered merely as a tempotary accommodation. He conclud ed by moving, that sooo,oool. be railed by Loans on Exchequer Bills for the fervice of the enliiing quar ters Ibis was agreed tn.—Report to-morrow. • PUBLIC OFFICIS IN I .
