HOUSE OF LORDS, %caws 4. The Lotto CuencaLeon, at two o'clock, sat to bear Appeals. The Marquis of HIRTYORD took the oaths and his seat. Lord KING said, he had a Petition to present against that grievous and scandalous monopoly, the monopolz A tt i Corn. It bad appeared to their Lordships that some of the monopolisers were disposed to deceive thtmselves. The Noble Lord did not think they could deceive others. They said their object was to Lave cheap Corn, but be did not think they bad to propose any permanent settlement df the question. They could not have any permanent settlement of the question until they did that which was right. Until the law alldweil Corn to come into the country with out monopoly, no arrangement could •be permanent. The Petition was from an Association (marked Ni. 1.) of Manufacturers at Churcham, in Glo ucestershire. They describ e th emse l ves to b e I , Members of the Anti-Taxation Association. They stated that they saw nu reason why the landed interest should claim exemption from all taxation, still they thought it better to let them be exempt from all taxes, provided they •would allow the free importation of Corn. The Petitioners also complained that the English Manufacturers were compelled to give upon the average threepence a day more for their bread than Foreign Manufacturers, on account of the dif ference in the price of coin. This formed a tax upon the Peti tioners of 38C per week.: and 2,000 t. per annum. If so, their Lord ships would see how th e b rea d tax affected the profits f the Menu famomes, as yogi's It reseeded laboor and the wages of Foreign Manufacturers.—TbvPetitlon wastken read and laid on the table. Sir A. GRANT and several Members of the House of Commons brought up the Indemnity silt, via. the Bill to confirm an Order in Council for the Importation of Oats, Beans, &c. On the motion of Earl !layouts; the Bill was read the first time, ai:d ordered to be read a second tim e on W e d nes d ay; an d the Lords to be summoned.

At four o'clock the Sreasam took the Chair, and the House pro.. eel:tiled to swear in suck Members- as present :] themselves to take the oaths and their seats. Petitions complaining of undue Returns, were presented from the Counties of Waterford, Galway, Westmeath, Dublin, Monag han, and Banff; also from the Boroughs of Treiony, Marlborough, Wootten-Bassett, East Looe,' Sudbury, Maldon, Medley, St. Ives, East Retford, and Dundalk. Those from Candidates were ordered to be taken into consideration on the 12th of Janirary neat, and those from other petsons on the 1:1th of January nett. Mr. ABERCROMBY presented a Petition from the Commode sioners of Police far the Town of Leith, praying that the Pollee Act granted for that town might be amended. The Hon. Member obtained leave and brought in a Bill fur that purpose. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR pee notice, that he would, on the 27th of February, introduce a motion for the separation of the Office of the Great Seal front ;bat of Speaker of the House of Poers. A Petition was presented from the Roman Catholics in the Diocese of Londonderry, praying that they might be relieved from the disabilities under which they laboured. Mr. SPENCE gave notice, that he would, t..morrnw, move icir Returns from the Rolls and Vice Chancery Courts, similar to those which he had Oven notice of motion for from the Exchequer Court, in as fsr as they could be made by the Courts first mentioned. Colonel TORRKNS presented a Petition, from Eight Thousand Inhabitants of Great abd Little Belton, praying for a Repeal of the Corn laws. Mr. HUM .K presented a Petition from the Seven Incorporated Trades of Aberdeen, praying for a Repeal of the Corn Laws, and also that the House would Adopt such measures as would relieve the country from the distress which generally prevailed. The same Hon. Maissea presented sit similar Petitions from the Town of Bradford and neighbouring places. Mr. GEORGE PH ILLI PS prewittrd a Petition from the Pre sident and Vice. Presidents of the Chamber of Commerce at Man dotter, praying for a Repeal of the Corn Laws. Mr. HUM l add that be bad 'pees requested to present a Peti tion which was one of great importance, if the Petitioner could effect that which he stated himself to be capable of doing. The Petition was from Mr. Gouda', who recommended to the House the ask of rinkn of our Colonial territory in North America ; and stated that if his suggestions were attended to, the minus raised by such sale would enable the country to pay off the national debt in fifty years—(Lasghter). The House might not be aware that the Petitioner bad been in Canada for several years; and he (Mr. Humes must say that Mr. Goodly bad written the best work re erecting that country be had met with. The Petitioner also stated, that the land belonging to the United States, although inferior to that belonging to this country, was regularly sold, and had for years produced a Revenue of above one million of dollars although the Exchequer of this country bad never received one shilling for die silo of any of our land. The Petitioner, therefore, recommended that competent Commissioners should be sent out to the Canadas to in vestigate the subject, and expressed his perfect confidence that arrangements might be made in a short time, which would enable Government to provide for one hundred thou sand persons annually without at all burthening the country. The Hon. Member re marked, that such a proposal, under existing drcumstances espet. daily, should be taken into consideration and examined. The Petition was meet respectfully worded; it appeared to him well worthy of attention, and should the Committee on Emigration re. mme its Sittings, be Would recommend it most particularly to its notke.--Ordered to lie an the table. TES SANititilPT ACT. Mr. HOBHOUSE rose to present a Petition that set forth a case of as great hardship as he believed had ever been brought under the consideration of that House.— It was a Petition from an individual named James Hulme, a pawnbroker, residing in Museum -street, Bloomsbury, against whom a commission of bankruptcy had been issued without his knowledge—he not being present—although at the very time he had property sufficient to pay all his debts seven or eight times over. Nor was that all, for the very complaining creditor had at the time of the docket being struck, leases and Other kinds of property to the amount of ten or twelve times the amount he claimed from the Petitioner. The facts as set forth by the Petition, were simply these :—The Petitioner employed a Mr. John Joeph Tanner, an attorney at law, of New Basinghall-street, to transact some business for him, and that person delivered in a bill of costs which it should be remarked, was nut signed as it ought to have been. The Petitioner placed the bill in the hands of Mr. William I-hinter, in order that it might be taxed. On. Friday last a messenger from the Commissioners of Bankrupts had taken possession of the Petitioner's premises, notwithstanding that to thebest °ibis knowledge 110 legal demand had been made on him for the dept. He (Mr. Hobhouse) had taken some pains to inquire into the merits of the case, and lie believed that the circumstances were as stated. It was indeed true that the complaining creditor did call on the Petitioner for pa) ment of his bill ; but he called after 8 o'clock at night, and that by Act of Parliament amounted to no thing ; and yet upon that a docket had been - struck. That act too had been effected, although the creditor actually had is his possession at the time, leases and title deeds of property belonging to the Petitioner of full three times the value of the debt he claimed. It appeared to him (Mr. Hobhouse) most extraordinary, that when the Commis sioners sat, they did not send for and examine the al leged bankrupt, to know whether he really were insol vent or not. They, however, did no such thing ; but they sent a summons, which was delivered, not to the bankrupt, but to a boy in the shop, and not receiving a proper answer, all that the Petitioner could afterwards advance was of no avail. Therefore ) because the Com rnissioners did not choose to examine the Petitioner he was to be ruined, for there was too much reason to fear that such would he the consequence of the proceeding. He should like to hear from some of thecommissioneis in that House on what principle it was, that a person m charged with havi ng comitied an Act of B.inkruptcy, should not be heard before such serious measures were adopted against him ? It was well known that Com missioners received fees from the commissions they opened, and although in that instance he did not mean in the slightest to question the conduct of the Hon. Gentlemen acting, yet it would be right that the utmost caution should be used. As the case stood with the unfortunate Petitioner, he would appear in tO.MOrtOW ' S Gazette, his trade would be injured, and he might per haps be altogether ruined. He trusted, that when his Hon. Friend near him made his promised motion for taking the jurisdiction of Ilinkrupt4 him the Lord Chancellor, he would take god case not to leave it with the Commissioners, but to lodge it ia st;ch hands as would render full justice to all parties. He did not ai all Meals to charge the Commissioners with li tying done 'any thing illegal--!ie fully believed that they bad not —that they had acted in accordance with the law, but the law appeared to itim to require alteration. The Petitioner had no remedy. It_ might be said, that if his statements were tine, he could indict the complain ing creditor for perjury ; but so peculiar were the cir cumstances of the ca e, that he (Mr. Hobhistise) did not think such a step practicable. Again. lie might be told that he had .bis remedy in an action at law. But the House would remember, 14t such a proceeding was both dilatory and expensive, and that While it was going on, th s y Petitioner might be ruined. It might also be said, that the Bankruptcy might be • superseded. but what satisfaction would that be to the Petitioner after his trade had been injured, his house daily pointed at, his credit shaken, and his pro- perty reduced The case was altogether a most grievous one, and he ‘rusted that those Hon. Gentlemen who had the power to snake beneficial alterations in the laws of the country, would take it into their serious consideration. Mr. BANKES, jun. had no knowledge whatever of the case before lie entered the House that evening ; but having since seen the petition, he could venture most confidently to assure the House of the great ability, ex perience, and high character of the Gentlemen who acted as Commissioners in the case before its When his Hon. Friend stated that the Commissioners of Bankrupt issued a Commission he was mistaken. The Commis sion came from the Great Seal, by whom five Commis sioners were appointed (three forming a quorum) and it became their duty to open the Commission. The Commissioners certainly had the power attributed to them by his Hon. Friend, but he (Mr. Bankes) thought that the law in that particular was capable of amend- ment. He was not a Member of the House at the time the Act was passed, but if he had been one he certainly should hive wished to make it necessary that a summons calling the Bankrupt before the Commissioners, should be issued. The House in the present case; should bear in mind that the Palliator did not state clearly, that it was upon the debt of the Attorney mended/al that the Commission had been issued; and with,tespect to the lateness of the hour, at which ap plication was said to have been made for payment, if the facts were as stated, there could be no doubt of its illegality. From what he had aeon of the redden however, he wee strongly inclined to believe that it contained many exaggerations, and that on further investigation, his Hon. Friend would be of the same opinion. Mr. HORACE TWISS bore testimony to the ability of the Commissioners, and remarked that the Petitioner evidently had his remedy, and if he sustained injury, could recover. There were different ways in which he might seek satisfaction; and, although the law might, perhaps, be in some degree to blame, he (Mr. Yorks) thought it would be injurious if every Bankrupt must of necessity appear be fore the Commissioners before the Commission could be opened. Mr. BATLEY said, that from the stateatent of the Honourable Member for Westminster, it would be difficult to conceive a more hard or distressing case, or we which better deserved the consi deration of the House. The Petition was then read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. G. Dawson presented a Report from the Commissioners ap pointed to inquire into Public Cbarities.--Ordered to be printed. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave no4ice of bis intention to move for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the state of the Police lin the Parishes which adjoin the Metropolis, and in which great outrages bad taken place on an early day after the holidays ; abs for leave to bring in Bills to consolidate and amend the Laws re lating to Larceny and another offence, to the embezzlement of the property of their employers by journeymen manufacturers, to dis putes respecting wages between master and journeymen manufac turers ; and for leave to bring In a Bill to repeal all the Acts which these several Bills would supersede. ' Mr. ROBERTSON gave notice of his intention to move for returns of the number and tonnage of British ships employed in the trade to several countries during the years 1824, 1825, 1824, re, spectively. ATHLONE PETITION. The SPEAKER called the attention of the House ti the Petition which had been presented, complaining of an undue election fur the borough of Athlone, and hick then lay upon their table, and had been ordered to be taken into consideration as an Election Petition. Doubts had arisen in his mind as to whether it could properly be so considered, and he requested the'assist once of the House in deciding that question. According to the Act of Parliament persons could only be entitled to present an Election Petition who bad been Candidates at such Election, or who claimed a right of voting. In this ease the claim to vote was not stated in express terms, and it remained for the House to consider whether any of the words of the Petition could be fairly taken to imply such a claim. If there were any words which amounted to this claim, then the Petition might remain on the table, and be taken into consideration pursuant to the order. The Petition having been read by the Clerk, Mr. W. W.YNN aid, that by the provisions of the Grenville Act, as at first passed, no other persons than candidates and voters were permitted to petition against a return. An Act was subsequently pssed, enablinga any person whatever to present an election petition. This was found to be productive of great inconvenience, and the law was again altered, and the right had been from that period to the present time, limited, as it was ' , originally. The House would in all cases be disposed to give a liberal interpretation to Petitions, so as if possible not to exclude them, because the decision of the House was not final, the Committee having the power to stop further proceedings, if it found that the Peti tioners were not properly entitled. He remembered a case in which the power had been exercised, after the Committee had advanced considerably in the investi gad in. The House would on the other hand reflect, that if the parties were not entitled to permit them to proceed further, it would be inflicting punishment upon them, as it would lead them into the useless expense of bringing agentsond witnesses from Ireland. It did not appear to him that in the terms of this Petition there was any thing to imply that the Petitioners claimed a right to vote. limy merely com ,platned that ail the Burgeon bad not been present at the election, Mr. GOULBURN said, that there was another Peti tion before the House, from eight oist of elrven of the present Petitioners. That Petition stated, that they would be en titled to vote, but for an act of the Legislature, of which they prayed the repeal. Mr. W. WYNN said, that as he understood some of the parties weronow in town, and might probably will to take some step, he vinehl, instead of moving now that the older be dkcharged, content hirn*elf with giving notice of a motion to that effect for to.morrow. Mr. HERMES brought in the Ten liillions Exchequer Bills Bill, which WAS read a first time, and ordered to be read a second tithe to•tnorrow. WS alga brought in a Bill for the transfer of Five Millions to the service of the year 18‘27.—itcati a first dine, and urtiered to be read a second time to-morrow. COMMITTat OF APPKAL. Mr. LITTLETON rose for the purpose of moving the Resolution which he h id postponed o pots a former occasion, in deference to the objections of several Hon. and Learned Gentlemen. He had only made a slight vari.nion in its terms. This Resolution was not without precedent in the practice of the House. The regulation which enabled Parliamentary agents to receive a deposit as a semi,/ for the costs feed by the House, was, he thought, nearly the same in principle. His object was to afford what he deemed a necessary protection co the House against vexatious, or ft ivolous appeals. Re ad mitted that a recognizance for the payment of expenses would have been a preferable expedient, but it was one which could only be enforced by an Act of the whole Legislature. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, " That any party or parties complaining of the decision o; a Committee, or his or their agent or agents, shall deposit withtbe Clerk of the Fees the sum of SOU previous to the ballot for the Committee of Appeal; and that he or they shall also sign a note, agreeing that the Whole or part of that sum shall be paid, as the said Committee shall direct." Mr. BANKES, jun. objected to the Resolution, on the ground that it would place the poor Petitioners in a situation of comparative disadvantage. He diJ not mean to say that the House would listen with less fa.. your to their complaints, but they were necessarily subject to greater difficulties than the rich in procuring agents, and the proposed regulation would add to those difficulties in a greater degree even than demanding a recognizance. He knew. that the Hon. Gentleman had bestowed great attention upon the subject, and has obtained the advice of those who might be supposed the best qualified to assist him, and these considera. Lions had deterred him from stating his objections on, a former occasion so strongly as he felt them. But the pre cedent which the Hon. Gentleman had produced had increased his doubts. There was a great difference between the fees to their own officers which wee pre scriptive, moderate, and founded upon the trouble actually imposed upon them, and costs which it was now proposed they should receive of one party, and undertake to pay over to the other. This regulation was not directed only against parties who came there voluntarily, but might equally operate against persons who had been brought there against their will, and who being dissatisfied with the decision of the origival Com mittee, became Plaintiffs bef. re the Committee of Ap peal. He thought it would be an improvement to the Resolution if the words " unless the House shall other wise determine' were added. He knew that without this, the House would always have the power to sus ,pond the Resolution, but certainly applications for that purpose Would be better received, and have a better chance of success if those words were inserted in the Resofution. He thought the ea ' crifice of time it might occadon could not fairly be urged 'as an objection to his amendment, for the Resolutions themselves nem.- , sadly involved a great sacrifice of time. His object wss to protect t h e interest of such pour parties, as be bad seen subjected to great injury. He should therefore move as an amendment, that these words be added to the Resolution, " unless the House shall otbet wise determine."—(Hear, bear.) Sir Thomas ACLAND thought this resolution a ne cessary shock upon the great increase of priiate business, which was to be apprehended from the new system. He did not concur in the censure which had been showered upon the Committees of that House. He thought that they bad been upon the whole productive of substantial justice, and was apprehensive thet the Committee of Appeals would be a means of giving increased power to great and wealthy individuals. Great scandal had arisen from the mode in which the business in Private Committees had been conducted, and he approved of the Committee of Appeal, so far as it promiied to check these irregularities, but be would rather make the application to its authority difficult than too easy. It was a new remedy afforded, and the House bad a right to impose terms upon the applicants; and it was desirable also that this remedy aboald only be resorted to in VOSS eases. Mr. Secretary PEEL saw some difficulties in what. ever determination they might adopt, but thought that less disadvantage would arise from some definite regu lations, than from the indefinite state of things which the amendment of his Honourable and Learned Friend was calculated to produce. It was to be recollected -- in the first place, that the original Committees were to be purified by the effect of the other resolutions, and that frequent occasions of appeal would proba bly not atise; and in the• second place, he hoped the House would not by any regulations it might adopt. put the power out of its owe hands. His Honourable and Learned Friend had urged his amendment npor the principle of affording protection to the p00r..... But he wished to know how they were to punned to give effect to this intention ? Wete they to ex amine evidence? There was nothing more easy than to say, that the House ought to investigate this abuse, lor remedy that hardship, and do lull justice in all ,cases. And so indeed they ought, if it were not that their duty was limited by their poster, and that they could not enter upon minute investigations in every individual case that wculd be brcught heioie them. without the abandonment of their mole inftiortant du ties. He thought it seldom happened that one solitary individual was in the situation of having t r complain of a Committee of that House. There was generally many persons Interested In the same decision, and they might confederate and contribute to the common cause. He did not deny the assertion of his Hon. and Learned Friend, that the poor generally laboured un der some disadvantage as compared with the rich ; but he thought that the House, by reserving its power, might in extreme cases so modify the regulation as to prevent injustice, and if the difficulties were found to be very great, they must at last have recourse to legislation. On these grounds he preferred the original Resolution to the Amendment.. .
