Tem ple, Lord Deffrein, Joins Butterworth, William Talbot i Lord 11..ouvaine, W. E. Lockhart, 'ls. Hawthorn, J. T. Cawthorn, J. M. Lloyd, and M. Russell. Mr. H. DAVIS presented a Petition from 3200 inhabitants of Bristol, praying that British register might not be allatved to India-built ships. Mr. P. MOORE brought in a Bill, for making a Wet Dock in the Isle of Da„ , ,s. it waeread a first time. Mr. Alderman ATKINS moved the Order of the Day for fringing Daniel Luce, who had been committed to Newgate for prevarication before the Weymouth and Melcombe Regis Elec tion 'Committee, to the Bar, fur the purpose of being discharged. The Prisoner was accordingly placed at the Bar by the Serjtatit gg- Arms. The SPAAKER then addressed him to the following effect : " Daniel Luce—The Select Committee of this House, ap pointed to try the merits of the contested Election for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, before which you were called as a witness, Mid found guilty of gross prevarication, and for this aggravated Offence you were committed to his Majesty's Gaol of Newgate. On this-examination, it appears, that being questioned as to mat ters within your own knowledge, you theught fit to prevaricate in the face of GOD, and the Country, for the purpose of defeat . - ing the tads of justice. These ends have, however, been ob tained by other means, and the truth has been establiAted in defiance of your reluctance to acknowledge it. The House, lsow'ever, have taken into consideration the contrition expressed in your Petition for the gross offence of which you have been guilty, and the iength of tune which you have been confined fur the same, and have determined that you shall be discharged._ You will, theretore, return to the town of which you were 'lately an inhabitant—a striking example of the disgrace and de gradation ever attendant on those who attempt to elude the ,rules of law and justices(, and an useful admonition to the other, inhabitants of the town to save themselves from similar puni.ds , parent and disgrace. The Howe having determined that yeti shall be. discharged, you are therefore discharged acciardingly, pupal anent of your tees." The Prisoner was then taken from the Bar, by the Serjeant.l at-Arms. Mr. WHITE del ivered in the following names of Members chosen by ballot, to inquire into die merits of the Granipouod Election Petition: _ _ H. Hamilton, A. J. Forster, G. A. Robinson, G. W.'

On the motion of Mr. PEELE it was ordered, that the Papers presented respecting the Inland Navigation of Ireland should be printed. On the motion of the same Gentleman, a Select Committee was appointed, to take into consideration the affairs of the Grand airs' Royal Canal Companies in lrFland, and to report their opinion to the House. GREENWICH 403PITAL. Lord COCHRANE then moved, that certain pa pers relative to Greenwich Chest, presented to the BOUSli t 011041 d be printed. The motion, however, Dot being seconded, fell to the ground. Lord COC H RANK then said, though no Member reined to wish inquiry into this subject, he should still discharge his duty, by moving for an account of the revenues of this establishment, and the sources whence the same were derived ; containing an ac count pf the sums .expended in the maintenance of the. Hospital ; an account of the numbers of each, class of persons admitted into the Hospital ; the num-. I?er admitted each year since the year 1800 ; and the pensioners within and. without the 1 - lospi- Lii, since that period. His Lordship, in tire course sit his mion, having alluded to the droits ; girowix 644 an idea 04 the - - funds of the Hospitil went to increase the grits of the Admiralty, - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER disclaimed any such intention. LordCOCHRANE alluded to the cases of two seamen,. the one of whom had been 17 years in the Navy, .and both of whom were incapable of service, who to procure their discharge from what was called the harbour duty, which regularly bred seamen esteemed a degradation, had been obliged to pay £BO and 490 before they could be admitted upon the funds of this -Hospital. All the annuity then re ceived was Fl 2, and it was well known that there was not an Insurance Company which would not have I Oven a greater allowance to . the two men to wham he had alluded for the money paid by them, inde. pendently of their great length of service. Unless some remedy were put to this evil, it would grow to ' such an extent as would be beyond all bearing ; and if his present motion should be refused, he should move for leave to briag in a bill to limit the extent of service in the Navy.. He then went on to a case of a person of the name of Fairey, a boatswain, who returned three times over on board of ship, after being invalided, rather thin submit to the harbour duty, and who ultimately died on ship board. If Mi nisters were determined that a course such as this was to be persevered in, it would be better for them, at once candidly to state to the House, that there was no necessity to make any provision for seamen whatever. Mr. ROSE explained, that the sums granted for discbaiges of seamen had no connection whatever With Greenwich Hospital. . Lord A. HAMILTON contended, that the facts .stated by his Noble Friend had a strong bearing on the point referred to ; .as the denying to the two r., whose cases were referred to by his Noble Friend, the right of admission to Greenwich Hospital, not withst.inding their long service, forced them. to• pur chase their final discharge from the Navy.at the large prices stAted by his Noble Friend. After a few words. from Mr. C. W. WYNNE, the motion was negatived—after which, Lord COCHRANE gave notice that lit should, on a future day, move for leave to bring in a Bill re gulating the period of service in the Navy. ut making 1) motif 4the Agruiraity, COPY RIGHTS. Mr. GIDDY rose to make the mot;on of which he had given notice on the subject of Copy-rights of Books, by entering the same in Stationers' Hall.— There were elisting Acts of Parl'ament, by which those who wished to secure to themselves the exclu sive right to the property of their works could do so, by entering the same in Stationers' Flail, and fur- 4 nishing a certain number of copies to the Universi ties, &c. There were other Acts, which seemed only to apply to the penalties to which Booksellers and Authors would be entitled on condition of fur nishing such - copii.s, but by %%inch, if the penalties were not sought to be enforced, the Universities did not seem to oc secured in their. copies. By a recent Lie. cision, it had hcen held, that the Universities were entitled to those copies, whether the proprietors of the works choose to enter them in Stationers' Hall or not. The Beokselle; s thought this was a hardship lupon them, and that there were certain points relat ing to it in respect of which they were, entitled to re , fief :=lst. They were reqitired to furnish copies of each work, printed on parer of the very best quality. Now, there were some books of which a few copies were printed in a splendid manner, and upon the very best paper. This regulation, however, they thought would be sufficiently satisfied by copies on less splendid paper ; Another thing to which they objected was the furnishing copies of new editions with trifling additions, ehich they thought might be sufficiently satisfied by furnishing the additions alone. Another objectionable point was, where there were reprints of ancient works, or where only a few copies of a book weressold. To illustrate this last, he allu ded to the a Flora GI xca" of Dr. Lipthorpe, of which only thirty-lour or thirty-five copies had been sold in the whole of Europe. If to be c'.empelled to give away eleven copies of such a work as this, must it not be esteemed a very great burden indeed ? The Hon. Member undertook the making of'the present motion not as a partizan of the booksellers, being• himself much attached to the University of Oxford, where he had spent four or five of the happiest years of his life. All he desired was to fall on what might be esteemed the best plan of promoting the interests of learning. He should therefore propose that a Committee be appointed, to consist of 21 Members, to take into consideration the state of the laws on the , subject, and to report to the House their opinions and observations thereon. Mr. ROSE agreed that some mode must be fallen on to secure their copies to the Universities, without too much trespassing on the property of authors and booksellers. • Mr. C. W. WYNNE, much as he respected the Uni versities, would rather see them supported by the pub-' lic than made a burden on authors, which he concei ved the depositing of. copies of every book to be.— , This too was a tax only on authors of merit; for the! Universities did not think it worth their while to claim all the trash that issued from the daily presti., ' but only meant to impose this tax as 4 reward for . superior learning and ability. Lord A. HAMILTON thought the only incon venience from the practice of depositing copies of all . 1 publications for the Universities, would be to create a small additional charge on the price, which would affect the bookseller rather than the author. Mr. J. H. SMYTH thought the object of the pre sent application was to get rid of the obligation im posed by the Act of queen Anne, and to retain the benefit conferred by it. His Honourable and Lear ned Friend (Mr. Wynne) called the regulation allu ded to a tax on authors ; it was incumbent, however, pn those who thus characterised it, to shew that its evils were less than its advantages. No author, he was convinced, would object to such a distribution of his work, if its effect would be to shew it to thou sands of eyes who would never otherwise see it, in which same proportion his own celebrity would be increased. As to the idea of works printed on line wire-wove paper, not being subjected to the ope ration of the Act, he thought those were exactly the works on which, more peculiarly, such a burden ought to fall. The time for allowing to authors a ' property in their works, he thought, ought to be en larged; and also, that an alteration should be made ' in toe Act of the 42d Geo. 3, by which the works to ...be furnished to the Irish Libraries were limited to per* actliall/ entered at Stationers' 441! ' - Mr. GAA.Nt Stough connected, with one of the great 'bodies affected by the regulations in quo firm, declared, that he had no private feeling on the subject ; on the contrary, he was certain that the body to which he belonged would be happy to meet the question liberally, and that the only object was the advancement of learning. Sir S. ROMILLY said the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last but one was certainly under a great mis take, when he stated that the object of the present application was to get rid of the obligations of the Act of Queen Anne, and to retain the benefits of. tt. No man could do so without depositing eleven copies of his book ; and by the late decision, tnough a man did not claim any exclusive benefit under the Act, still he must give the eleven copies. There was ;mo ther mistake under which the Hon. Gentleman la boured, in supposing that the Act of Queen Anne conferred a benefit on authors. No such thing.— Before the passing of the Act, authors had the exclu sive property in their own works ; and the Act in question went to limit that right to fourteen years in I.the first instance, and to another period of fourteen years if the author should be alive at the expiry of the first period. The only privileges conferred by this Act, which authors did not before enjoy, went to some penalties which were immaterial. It was ex.. tremely desirous that every encouragement should be given to the public libraries; but was it necessary that this should be done by a tax upon learning ? This was said to be a tax not on authors but on booksel lers. Was it not, however, a tax on authors where ever they kept their works in their own hands ?—As the case now stood, no doubt, the privilege was ab surd and unequal. A man had a second period of fourteen years in which he had an interest in his work, if he survived the first fourteen years ; but it he died before the expiry of the first period, then his execu aers- had no farther interest in the work. This was to hold out rewards only to jejune works, and to suf fer works of experience and mwrit to go without any reward to their authors. Mr. J. H. SMYTH explained. The Motion of Mr. GIDDY was then put and agreed to, and a o,mmittee appointed, containing, among others, the names of Mr. Giddy, Sir W. Scott, Sir J. Nichol', Lord Palmerston, Mr. Dmidas, Mr. Plun kett, Mr. Rose, Lori A. Hamilton, the Lord Advo cate of Scotland, Mr. C. W. Wynne, &c. EXPLANATION. Mr. CROKER apologised for no: being in his seat when the Noble Lord (Cochrane) brought lurward his motion; he Lad, however, taken the precaution of acquainting the Noble Lord with the time hiA other duties would allow him to conic to the House. From the report he had beard of the Nehle Lord's speech, he must say, that he had been completely misinformed. —The sum of m iney asked trout sailors oil ub atning their dis chargewas extremely trifling, and that mode had been adopted to guard them from the numerous impositions to which they were constantly liable from men undertaking to provide subvti tures tor them. Not having been in the liout,e, he Wv:lld not press his observations further, but say, that the NulJle Lord bad been completely n.isinformed. After some convers.tion between Mr. WUITIMCAD and Mr. CitOICEII, the latter Gentleman still persisted in Litt saute oteinion. B NK It CPTCY 312111s1)ICTION. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR tore to make his announced motion, to separate the jurisdiction of bankruptcy from the office of the Lord Chancellor. The delays is the Court of Chancery, and in the Court of Ap peal, had often been the subject of discussion in that House. It had been agreed on all hands. that a re- Medy was wanting, and that the Lord Chancellor re quired assistance and relief in the discharge of his numerous and important duties ; for that purpose a Bill had been sent to that House from the House of Lords, for the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor. Here the Honourable Gentleman renewed all the ar guments against that Bill. He also considered ;he plan of taking the Judges from other Courts to assist the Lord Chancellor as totally impracticable. But the most essential relief he thought would be granted to the Lord Chancellor, by taking from him a branch Of business not essentially connected with his office, but engrafted upon it by statute ; a business which constituted more than one-fourth and very nearly one-third of all the causes brought before him, and • which, from its urgency, had the precedence of all other causes, to the great prejudice of suitors of Chancery, who had a constitutional right to the Chan cellor's care and attention. The cognizance of bank ruptcies had been attached to the Lord Chancellor's office by the 13th of Queen Elizabeth, because at that time comparatively little business was transacted in the Court of Chancery, but he would appeal to any one in the House to know if the measure would have been resorted to in the present state of that, Court ? He was sure not, and as relief was to be granted to the \ Lord Chancellor, the most effectual way would be to take from him that branch which was attended with such additional truuble, and did not essentially belong to his office, rather than to de prive him of a part of his constitutional attributions. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then pro ' ceeded to examine and refute the several propositions contained in the Pamphlet of Lord Redesdale, and. said, that as the office which he proposed would re-: quire great powers and talents it ought to be well: ,paid. It might be said that the office would not *fford sufficient business for a Judge, in that case he might be employed in the Cock Pit, and the Master of the Rolls thereby be enabled to assist the Lord Chancellor in the discharge of his duties. He had no motive but the public good—he wished to see an effectual remedy to the existing abuses—he was cer i• tam the appointment of a Vice• Chancellor would not prove to be that remedy—no one would go in or come out of Court satisfied, and as he thought the only beneficial plan was to separate the bankrupt cases from the other duties of the Chancellor, he would move— " That the House do resolve itself into a Coinmi:tee, in order to take into consideration suck parts of the :statuee a the 13th' of Eliyabtth, c. 7. and all other subsequent Statutes, as give ju risdiction in cases of Bankruptcy to the Lord Chancellor of England." On the motion being put— Mr. LEACH said, he merely rose to state a few objections to the plan of his Honourable and Learned Friend ;—he could not concur with him that the bankrupt eises constituted one-third or even a fourth of the business in Chancery. Until within a very few years the bankrupt business did not occupy more than twenty days in a year ; in latter years they had considerably increased, partly in consequence of corn mercial speculation', but more in consequence of the unexampled pressure on trade. He wished to Lie al lowed to state with accuracy, what time those can* occupied, In the last year, in six hundred any" tour cases milers had been made in August ; 396 had I?een heard, and two-thilds of the whole ilad top • , • • heard in twenty-four dad R—if, therefore, could be heard in that time. it followed of cours.t, that in thirty-six days, all the cases could be heard which came before the Court in a year, when it was supposed bankruptcy had reached its height. The Chancellor was withdrawn from the Court of Chan- .:ery to preside over the Appellant Jurisdiction seventy-two days in the year, and it he were relieved even in the proportion of sevenry-two days in the year, yet the evil complained cf would not be reme.- died, as under the present system the business had sitctinvilated, and additional time would be requires& !co subdue that accumulation, but as the proposed plan only went to relieve the. Chancellor of the busi ness of thirty-six days, it was apparent that it would be entirely inefficacious. For these and other reasons. he was unable to vote for the motion of his Honour able Friend. Mr. MARRYATT said, that he was disposed to support the proposition of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite. A great deal of . confusion and inaccuracy prevailed in the affairs iiit • Bankruptcy. So numerous were the Bankrupt Cases in Guildhall, that it more nearly resembled a . Bear Gorden chap a place of public business. He hai often attended thare, and had been so annnyei that he had departed without proving his debt ; he had gone again, and had found the same annoy. ante ; and, finally, he had not proved his debt at all. , The security and equal distribution of the pro. perty of Bankrupts were quite as ill regulated, not -4 withstanding the Act on the subject. lie hail ke,own many assignees who had rendered themselves liable to the penalties of the Act, but never knew one prosecuted under it. Assignees were directlf interested in retarding the d.stlibution of property in their charge ; he thought an accountant-general should be appointed ; but the most effectual remedy would be, to separate the bankrupts case from 'h. other duties of the Chancellor ; at present, it was not possible for the Chancellor to give sutikient at tention to the subject. Were a Judge appoi.ited for the particular purpose, with the Commissioneta of Bankrupt, and the Practitioners in his Court about him, he would vesemble a regular Naha bur. rounded by his satellite:, whereas the Chdincciior, at present, might be compared to a costa, io rare were his visits, and placed as he was at such an magical surable distance, that he might be gazed oa and won. dered at, but not approached.—(llaar, hear.) —.-Is arts and labours wer e divid e d, t he human m i nd wars I rendered . energetic • IP and as no one would cinticritl that the heahlig art was the less perfect in practice, ue , cause it was now subdivided into minute departments, such as Physician, Surgeon, Apothecary, Alssa-raid wife, acc.—(il laugh)—so no one, he hoped, would assert, drat th e duties of the Lord Chancellor would .be worse performed for being divided. l'he lion. Gentleman then compared the plan with the pro. i posed Vice-Chancellor's bill, and conch:ideal by de. yiariig, that he thought the present measure would, ,1 if adopted, be productive of great aUvcitiaze to th ;commercial i'vuri LI. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, that if the Hon. Gentleman would have taken the trouoie to inspect the order.book, he would have seen that there was a proposition to redress the grievances of whicn he complained, and on the disclissiou of which his ob servations would have been better bestowed. He could not concur in the plan a his Honourable and Learned Friend ; he did not think it could be enter tained as a substantive motion, and he would not vote for it. • Mr. CANNING thought that the Lords having sent down the Vice-Chancellor's Bid to the House, it wits enough to negative that Bill, leaving it to theta to originate one less objectionable. He was of opi nion, however, that one great amendment might ue offered to that Bill, whictrwas, iustaad of creating a new officer, to lop off some great limb of the Chan cellor's jurisdiction, ansi none appeared more pro per to an unlearned man, than to separate that winch had been added by statute. He objected to the mode of producing the plan. He thought the pre ferable course would be, to recognise the principle of the B►ll emanating trot the Lords, and after wards snake those amendments that might stern tx: pedient. As he bad previously declared aims-At in favour of this plan without quAlitication, he would vote for it if the Honourable Gentleman pressed his motion, even if he stood alone wait him, but he thought enough had been urged to inguce the Hon. Gentleman to delay his niot►on until a more conve nient occasion. Mr. M. A. TaYLOii. explained his masons for bringing forward his motion at this. particular pe riod. If he had waite d 1 the Vice Chancellor's Bill was passed, it would have been useless to here appointed the Judge he proposed. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought the Learned Gentleman had not done justice to his own conduct ; his : only course was, to place his plan iu conipetitiou with the Bill on the Table. He thought there was more of genera/Alp than friends hip in the support given to; the measure by his Right Honourable Friend if*. Canning) who had a plan of his own toa prtb. pose.--,(silaugh)--the Noble Lord replied to Mr. Leach, and said, his proposal would prove a must expensive one. He thought the Hon. Gentleman had brought forward his motion in the most proper way, and if the House trteaut to support it, now WAS the time :—When his Hon. Friend ( Mr. Canning) should bring forward his plan, it would, no doubt, receive just such a support from a certain quarter, as he had given to the measure of the Hun. Gentle.. Man opposite. Mr. PONSONDY said, it it had been the intention of his. Hon. Friend to divide the House, he would certainly have voted wici ; as he did not, he would not consume the time of the House on the ques tion, ,• he thought the project such a one as tile floasc ought to adopt, but he did not think the manner of bringing it tOrward calculated to secure its support. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY was very unwilling t 9 address the House, as he found it. iii ossibi to sup port the motion, brought lurward as it was, as a Tula. tive, nut as an individual motion. The Nobie :Lord (Castlereagh) was not in tiettung it AS he bail dimwit but would b e s upport it The Noble 'Lord had Jo. s:ribed it as expensive—expensive, no doubt, as coin pared with the proposed V ice-Ch.incellor, Lie did 'tat see why it should cost a penny.
