Mr. POYNT2 defended the Bill, which he considered a till for the prest•ration of the fish, and not a Bill of exclusion. The A Tl' ) R\EV GRNERAl , contended,thattti: was ari open nsti.ery in an open sea ; and he would not, therefore, sanction the pa ;sa l of this Act, wh:ch wnu!d trench upon iht exercise of a public ti ; ;ht, and limit the fishery to a few privileged indiiriduals. Mr. W. S 11 Il'H opposed the Bill. It would be an invasion of public right to remedy a private inconvenience. Mr. H L.N.ST supported the Bill. The only object of it war to encourage the fisheries. Why was not the princittle of the Bill oppo6til at the second reading? All the proceedings on the Bill were perf,ctly regular. S V K ES opposed the Bill. Mr. II USIiISSON said, the object of the Bill was highly laudable. Ile doubted the right claimed, but still it appeared hard that 100 or 200 men should be thrown out of employment. Ile thought. however, a Public Bill should be brought in to pro tect the public right. • Sir W. DE CItESPIGNY opposed the Bill.

He referred to the three Reports of the Select Committee of the Ilouse of Commons on the present state of justice in Wales, from whose con clusions be differed in pat t, and whose opinions he wished to be referred to their Lordships' Appeals Committee, to examine and report on the same. He considered this motion as peculiarly fitting, when the Commons Committee had been sitting for three Ses sions (18'20, 1821, 1822) upon the subject. It was desirable to ease the Noble and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack of the Appellant Jurisdiction for Wales. What was most objectionable was the accumulation of expenses in the law proceedings of the principa lity, and the unsatisfactory way in which the admi nistration of justice was conducted in Wales.—Here his Lordship took occasion to advert to cases, in which it was proved that the result was uniformly to fill the pockets of attornies at the expense of suitors. Such cases of injustice and oppression were never, he believed, heard of in any other country in legal Courts. He confessed, in conclusion, his incompe tency to propose an effectual remedy for these evils. There was, indeed, a certain Bill (Great Sessions in Wales Bill), which he trusted had no respect to the supposed opinion of the Noble and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack, whose advice he himself should always be happy to have, and who se . assistance was most desirable in the present .case. His Lordship. now moved that the Reports-of the Select Committee of the House of Commons, on the Administration of Justice in Wales, be referred to their Lordships select Committee pn Appeals 'Ecc. The Earl of LIVER POOL, ' while he wished to be understood as not undervaluing the motion of the Noble Lord, objected to it upon the plain ground that questions of such magnitude were under the consi deration of their Lordships' ConiMittee, that, till those ( questions were disposed of, all additions to their in quiries would _render their progress more compli cated, and embarrass their prospective course. What might, however, grow fairly out of the labours of that Committee, so extended as to its investigation, was another thing; as it might possibly lead-to re forms in the administration ofjustice far beyond t purview of the motion now ; before the House. ' Wi respect to the Bill before the other House tp the Noble Lord (Cawdor) had alluded, it would better to await its coming up rather than attempt Ort• anticipate its results with Noble Lords. • Lord COLCHESTER considered the motion Of the Noble Lord (Cawdor) to contemplate in its tip. ration, if effected at all, an increase in the number the Judges. Now, with regard to this measure, lie could only say, that every calm consideration lie could give it confirmed his doubts respecting both the policy and • expediency of such a measure; but even the opinion of the Publiq was not distinctly made up upon the point. The motion now before their Lordships was foreign from the object of the Com mittee on Appeals ; and, if entertained in any way, it would be better-as a separate branch of inquiry. The LORD CHANCELLOR could safely say, that all he knew respecting a Bill in the other House; to which the Noble Lord (Cawdor) had called his at teatian;4as derived from having seen it mentioned in .the Newspapers. Whenever that measure should come up to their Lordships, his mind,- he trustee, would go into its merits qqite unprejudiced. It hall o however, been suggested ?hat relief might possibly• be had, in this instance, by addresiing the Throne; but an Address to the King could not be of any use, as it* Icing'had pe power in the present case. The Mareeils.bf BUTE supported the motion; be eause.he Cobeeivid it not, proper to tell the people of . Wales, at this era, that they were unprepared to prac tice the same justice as the MS* of England. Lord CAWDOR, in reply, complained that sufficient reason had been stated- why his mod' should not be agreed to. ~.t -• ' After the motion had been pit, it was negativ l without a division; and, at tstlefatt, r House adjourned, till to-mbrrditir - Morning - ick hearing of Appeals. j , . 11 - 011 SE orOcirients.

RICE moved the seeondi*Oing of the• L imerick Taxation Bill. The object of it was to pre vent the misapplication of the Rinds of the City.— The Corporation .were bound to' ertiploy:.them in building gaols, and repairing roads and bridges; in. stead of this, they converted them to whatever pur pose they pleased, and then levied taxes on the in habitants. The consequence was; that they were obliged to. borrow m o n e y ; an d they were now in debted to the. Consolidated Fund to the amount of 5,000 i. It would be useless 0 bring the matter into a Court of Law, as the old books, by which the rights of the inhabitants could be proved, were fraudulently got possession of, and either secreted or destroyed. Mr. WODEHOUSE said, there were circumstan ces appeared before the Committee perfectly revolt ing to every honourable mind.- If any legislative re medy could be found, he should willingly support it. Captain O'GRADY said, he was surprised to hear the measure supported on public grounds. It was merely a Bill to increase the political power of the Hon. Member (Mr. Rice) and his friends. If the Bill passed, no Corporation could be safe. That of the City of Limerick contended, that they *ere not hound to apply their funds to the uses mentioned. They were ready to try the matter in a Court of Law. The Bill was not brought in according to the forms of the House. He would move on these grounds, that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. The Amendment was negatived without a division. The Bill was read a second time, and commizted. Sir R. HERON said, he wished to k n o v what the course of business was to be that day—whether they were to proceed on the inquiry, or go on with the business of which notice had been given? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex ressed a wish that the inquiry might be gone into or the purpose of bringing it to a conclusion as soon as possible. He hoped Gentlemen on both sides of the House would con,ent to postpone. their Motions which stood for that day. The Noble Lord opposite (Hamilton), he understood, had no ol4ection. to put off his Motion. a: !: .: . .. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE wished t o !mow what was the intention of the•Ri k ;ht Hon. Gentletzian (the Chancellor of the Excfiequer) withrelkct ;iodic Motions which stood for Priday? . , ...

''. ' Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH expressed lei's readi ness to coneuewith any arrangement most. conveuieht to the House. THE SHERIFF OP DUBLIN. On the Motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER that the house do re.olve it elf into a Commit tee of the whole House to inquire into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin, a conversation ensued bete een Mr. F. BUXTON, Sr T. LETIIHRID:IE, and Mr. TIER• NZY "relotivg to the postponement (rt . other bu s ine ss . dolonel BARRY feared it would not be possible for the House - to get through the whole of the in quiry this week, as, from the nature of some of 0:e te s ti mon y deliVered last night, it had become neces sary for him to call for other witnesses, who, resitii.g is Dublin, could not by possibility.reach Londchi be tore Monday nest. • • , Lord NUGENT wished to inform himself what business was likely to come.on rialluirsday next, 14 which day a Motion of his was fixed opon a suhjrct of considerable importance to- a large :class of the British community. (For leave to bring in a Bill to place the English on a. footing with the Irish Ca tholics). The CH ANCELLOR of the EXCH EQUER said it. was - undoubtedly competent to the Noble Lord to rtake what steps he might think prope r i n th e event of the i nquiry continuing beyond to-morrow ; but he trusted that at least great progress would be made in the affair by to-morrow night. Mr. ABERCRONIBY had also a Motion fi xe d f or ou Th ursday. shld the House - determine to go lilt with. the inquiry, he would bow to its deci.ion, but lie laid claim to the indulgence . of Ministers in per rAtiagtim to bring it forward at an early day, hay ing lost the opportunity of doing so last Session from his having consented to postpone it at their request. The House then resolved itself into the Committee, Sir R. HERON insthe Chair. AIr.PLUNKETT.begged to say, a few words be fore any witness should be called in, upOn a subject of some importance. In the examination Of a wit. ness, John Al.Connell, before the Cumini ttce l ast n ight, some facts came out connected ,with another person summoned before the coma:slava—a Mr.Bar tett Wadden, alio was stated to have ;eft Irel an d f or ptirpos.l.9 . 4.,4voiding his creditors.
