The object of the Bill which he meant to propose to their Lardih:ps was not to remedy the defects In, slie general system of the Game Laws, but to put a stop to the increase of po.iching, without interfering veldt the existing laws for the preservation of gee.

The abolition of spring guisi stroiddgive additional fa ci:itiei to poaching; as it wrinlil he impossible in many cat:s to collect a sufficient force of men to preserve the game. It was peculiarly desirable,lthetefore, that the measure which he proposed should be adopted, in order to diosi,sish the temptation to poaching. Heytoved tbat the B 11 be reada first time. The Earl of CAERNA Lt/ON cordially . supported the motion of the Noble Earl. Experience had suffi cier.ily shewn that laws to prevent the sale and purchase of Game were, and must be, wholly inoperative. He only regretted that the Noble Eirl . 4uld propose to make his measure merely tempora ry ' ; for if he succeed: ed in getting rid of °neva' t of our barbarous . Code of Game Laws, he believed there was no person in the country who would ever again wish to recur to it. He had always thought that there was considerable diffi culty attending any ploposition to establish by one Act an entire new cdai of Game Laws; And he aßproved of the principle of the first establishing an open , market, and then proceiding to further enacjinents. , i -The Marquis of SALISBURY said, he was very tan ' goitie as to the success of his measure, and he should have no objection, with the contra' rprice of their Lord , ships, to make it perpetual. • The Estl of LIMERICK exPt essed his approbation of the Bill. The Bill was read a first time. • Lord GA GE presented a Petition from the Hundred of Litfield, ye the Camay of Eieffait. against the importatloa of Foreign Cora. —The !}owe then Adjourned till Friday. , taken'out, (tern 151. to 201. It was well known,Vikst' preliended, to that House, that in former times arrests' might t tkeplaCein this kingdom for any sums, hares*' small, provided-only they were large enoush to *sable . the Court to hold, Pleas on the case—that in as low ea 40s.—s6 that 'from a very ancient period of our his tory, dovanto the time which he was next about to OHM ; I +o, the Courts of Westminster might entail upon parties • toed tor any debt, nor exceeding lever) 40s.

By a reti-o which had been made to Parliament of the total number of per sons who were imprisoned at a givers period Withio - the• last year, on Mesne Process for debts amosasiag Ur, and under, the am 'tint of 201. each, it appeared that, the total number of persons was 1820... The number of thos? who were returned as arrested for less sums than 201. each 'was 500=4hen).—so that a very large pro-. portion of the total number, nearly one-third, were :hewn to have been arrested before their cares came on for trial, for sums less than that minimum which this • proposed Bill intended to fix; but it was notorious that the proportion of expenses to Which the debtor was liable was .. very greatly increased, after he bad undergone arrest. If he chose to settle the action be fore it was brought into Court at all, the costs to which he was arden4bie would amount to little more than IL but if he was arrested, the costs to whiCh he would hive become liable at the same stage of the transaction, if he hid not thought proper to go into Court, er had beet+ ' enable to prevent it, would not be less than from 81; to PL—so that before he could settle the debt on Account of which he had been served with the process, in the ease of a 271. debt, the expenses would be accumulated to a sum very little less ,than half the amount of the debt itself—{Hear, hear). 'Upon this statement the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was convinced OA the House would concur w'th him in thinking, that as, by former itatutes, the minimum had been already increased from 410 s. to 101. and from 101. to la. it was now most ex pedient to incriase it from 151 to 201. In the formes Net, however, there was an exception in resp -et of pro. mi,s3ry notes and bills of exchange; upon which every party was liable to Mesne Proce s s. The Consequence was, th t persops too often took this sort of a i lvantage; they obtainel from their needy creditors notes or bills .for the smallest sum., which made them li tble, in the event of nonpayment, to the same process as _would have been assignable ors bills of larger amount, Now, it was his most anxious desire to make the operatietrof the present Bill sweeping and universal; and as hehad fixed the minimum at'2ol. he meant to include in the operation of this measure, bills of exc'.ange and poo -1 tnissory notes also—(Hear, hear). Then again, in re• gars! to the other jurisdictions, his intention in raisng the amount in the minimum was to prevent vindictive plaintiffs, within their authority, from having resource - to these superior Courts for vindictive purposes. He, therefore, desired to raise the amount in respect to Wales and the Counties Palatine to 501. He concluded sty moving for leave to bring in a Bill aeraTcrigiy. • Lord ALTI-101tP was to far from meaning to op pose t' e motion of the Hon and hearted Gentleti,o, that he rose at once to support it; and tokiress his re gret that it dii not go quite far enough. The law Of arrest was so vexatious and unjust, that he (Lortl_AlA thorp) wculd be prepared to go to a risuali4reater'elt• tent in reforming it. It was undenTabTe - that the ix penses incurred in 'careering mall del trWare enor mous; but it was at least as enormous that the debtor should be liable, on the creditor's prosecuting his claim upon him for a debt of 201. to expenses to the amount of half of that sum. He himself had done all that he could d, to diminish the expenses attending the re covery of small debts; but he had encountered so many difficultieC in ate prosecution of his object, that he should leave utterly abandoned all hopes of ever seeing -it attained, but that a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Peel) bad undertaken to effect i , . The system, oq the other hand, which was at present pursued, was so com plete a dtlusion,that hehad almost determined to follow! suggestion which had been I orwarded to him fr , m many quarters, and to pi oposeito the Legislature to deny its interference altogether in. - debts under lUl.—(Hear, hear.) It were much bettaa r . he conceived, to make there debts of honour than to pursue their recovery on the pre ent v. X3'l sus system. . ' Mr. PEEL had ce.tainly, last &Arial, given his best attentic.n to a sin-ject, for I is exeftlons in respect to which, the Noble Lord well deserved the thaqics of the public. In the course-at his own inquiries no.this mat ter, he was led to believe, that some mo.'e ought to be devis:d to facilitate, by the adoption of ,some better meant than those at present provided, the tcovery i f small debt.. He had placed the Bills fisoned tor this purpose, in the hands of two Learned Gentlemen, very eminent in their profession, and desired then to devote a certain portion of their time to its consideration ; re questing them, at the same time, to avail themselves of their own experience on their circuits, ;A order to com plete the framing of the Bill, and the's : to report to Inaa upon any difficulties attending its practical execution. They had prepare! this Bill accnrdingly, and had be (Mr. Peel) remained Secretary of State, he should cer tainly have introduced it to the Heats before. It was probable, the Bill might be introduced during the pie sent Session; but • e nether it could be passed towel law this Session, owing to the nature and amount of the blWaess befotelior House, he was not prepared to say.

The honourable Member expressed his hope that some appropriate measure would be adapted by the House in the next Session. Mr. J.

DA.WSON said, that be laid given notice of his inten tion to bring this subject before the House, and the course he should pursue would be thO•of moving the appointment of a Corn• mittee to inquire into the state of the present system and its operation. • Mr. L. FOSTER thought the law measure which was passed for regulating the Grand Jury Presentments had operated great good, abhoo;ii some forthet amend in: nts still remained to be wide. Mr. W. LA NIB said, that his Light Hon. Friend who preceded hint in his office had given great attention to this subject, and after collecting much information, had yet not so far advanced the plan of any general measure as to have contemplated its introduction to the House during the present Session. With all the kind disposi- tion which his Right lion. Friend exercised towards him, and with alibis zeal for the public service, he should not, he feared, be a bl e to do that's but when the subject came to be discussed, he would give it best consideration.

DIMORTATION Or W•l4 The nista Loan also presintrd a Petitioral i roMin individual in the county of Cambridge, against the b»poit a i-ion of foreign wool. The Petition drierved the attention pf thsir 'Lordships, for the ease of this individual was in fact the car of ill other wool powers in the kingdom. The Petitioner complilnell that he had two'yeare growth of wool on hand, and that the article was utterly unsaleable. The measure by which the profits of the wool grower bad Itren re : duced 50 per 'cent. was an act of gross and intolerable injustice. The If of DIALMESSUItI held in his hand a Petition, which was not the less deserving of the attention of 'their Lord.. ships, because it was addressed t• them by an bumble individual: He feared, however, that in consequence of a trilling informality, the Petition could not be laid on the Table, the Petitioner having I named two Noble Lords in his Petition. The Petitioner was an agricultural labourer, who had been enabled to purchase, under all Inelosuris Act, nine acres of land, upon the produce of which he bad hitherto supported himself and a focally)f six children. Tice Petitioner expressed his apprehension that, if any measure were adopted which would have the effect of reducing the value of esti ' natural produce, he would be compelled to seek subsistence from the parish, or from the produce of 'tie casual labour of his own hands. The Petition was written with great simplicity, but with a great deal of good sum; and were not inconsistent with the farina of the Heetee,he *mild wish it to be read, nontithstanding the Informality to which be bad alluded. The Petition was read. The Pirtkiencr, Ralph Gadsby, expressed his hope t• At their Loedships would " stand up for bin' —(a laugh), and concluded his Petition wit► the following worts:—" Lastly, I am a ruined man, If your Lordships Pau this Bill; GOD bless your Lordships." Lttugh). - ELLENBOROUGH observed, that lie had seldom beard a Pctition which was more worthy of their Lordships' attention, and suggested that there was no objection, M point of form, to re ceiving the Petition ; for, altiougb the names of two Noble Lords were mentioned in the body of the Petition, yet no allusion was made to anything said or done by those Noble Lords. He was sorry that k was against the format the House to print this Petition. The Earl of NIALIidESBU KY was glad that the objection to receiving the Potidoo was removed; for the Petition of this bumble individual was Imporpat, as it went to prove that there was ano ther clam besides the Landlords who were interested in opposing any a i tsra d on d the Corn Laws.—The Petition was laid on the Table.
