lattention of the Committee. The practice of recover ing d e bts under five potinds in a summary way !Afore , two Justices of the Peace in Scotland, had given such general satisfaction there, that he thought it entitled a rticular consideration. He, however, wished for to p the a ppointment of a Committee, that the whole me rits of the case might be gone into, and he had no doubt that the grievances which could be proved would compel the Committee to make such a Report \is must induce the House to do something. He con cluding brmoving—" For the appointment of a Se lect Committee to inquire into the mode of recovering Debts under fifteen pounds, in England and Wales, and to report their opinions thereon to the House." Mr.IVARRE had great satisfaction in seconding the motion of his Noble Friend. The measure which he knew the Noble Lord intended to propose, he thought likely to prove one of very great utility.— The more this subject was sifted and looked into, the -b r ae would the House be convinced of the necessity of supplying a remedy to the evil complained of. He therefore thought his Noble Friend had taken the proper course in calling for a Committee, as he had done, and i:. declining to press that measure on the gonse,• which he had it in contemplation to submit M them, till he should be backed by the Report of that Committee. He could not refrain from again ex pressing the pleasure he felt in seconding this motion. Mr. LYTTLETON thought the inquiry called for most desirable, as he believed that in almost all cases the charge attendant on the recovery of small debts exceeded the debts themselves. This injurious system enabled the labouring classes, in many instances, to defeat the just claims of their creditors, as many shop-keepers, from motives of humanity, declined pursuing the parties who were indebted to them, under such circumstances. At the same time he thought there would be considerable objections to imposing new duties on the Magistracy of the coun try. Though the measure to be brought forward might appear very perfect in theory, when attempted to be redox2d to practice he expected the Magistrates would feel it necessary to give it their opposition. He was, however, so impressed with the importance of devising some plan for giving the shopkeeper greater security, and at the same time making the labourer more cautious, that he cordially approved of the in quiry now called for, and thought the house must feel much obliged to the Noble Lord for giving his attention to the subject. Lord ALTIIORP begged to say, that he had not actually proposed that new duties should be im; posed on the Magistracy of the country, but he had stated there were at present three modes of recovering small debts, to each of which he had wished to direct the attention of the Committee. The motion was then carried, and a Committee forthwith appointed. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. request wl ; icli liai hen made by the Right Hon.' Baronet and the-Right Hon. Gentleman, be to offer a few words in reply to the Hon. Meither4bla . had last spoken. He.was quite sure that if he were to bring forward a motion on that subject to which his remarks had been directed, that it would be con ducted with ability and temper, and if he would do so with respect to anything which he (Mr. Plunkett), from a sense of public duty had thought it right - to do, he should not shrink from giving the earliest pos sible explanation of his conduct. With respect to the question which had been asked, it placed him not in a situation of embarrassment, for he had no difficulty in deciding what course he ought to take ; but it placed him in a situation which made it necessary that he should apologi:e to many who had come thus early to town, considering it their duty to attend in conse quence of the notice which he had given on that mo mentous occasion, which had been understood to be , at hand—(Hear).—There was no reluctance on his' part to bring the question forward on the Jay for which it had been fixed—it was not with a view to his own personal convenience that he acquiesced in the request which had just been maic--(llear). But he could not be so rash as to risk injuring a question of so much importance, by bringing it for ward at a moment which was considered to he so very unfavourable. His opinion concurred with that expressed by the Right Hon. Gentleman and the Right Hon. Baronet. In the present situation of Ire land, and wanting information as the House did, with respect to the state of that country, it was quite im possible that the discussion could be entered upon with that intelligence and calmness which were ne cessary however the question might be disposed of. Every one must admit, whether he was favourable or adverse to the claims of the Catholics, that every light that could be thrown upon the subject ought to be afforded to enable them to enter upon the debate with calmness and decorum. He consented, there fore, to postpone the motion, and had now only to consider what day would be most convenient for the House to entertain it. The debate being necessarily put off till after Easter, he thought the first conve nient day that lie could name was the 17th of April. On that day, if it met the approbation of the House, he would bring it forward. Sir E. KNATCHBULL suggested that the Order for calling over the House, which stood for Thurs day, ought now to be discharged. Perhaps it might be desirable that it should be moved to the day on which the Right Hon. Gentletnan proposed to brieg' forward his motion.—The Order for. calling over the House on Thursday was then discharged, and a ne - - Order made for calling over the House the 17th April. 11l . IRISH- MILITIA. I • Mr. GOULBURN rose to move for leave to bringl in a Bill for reducing the Staff of the Irish Militia.— Anxious to make such reductions in the public expert-: diture as the circumstances of tire country required, his Majesty's Ministers had looked to the Stiff of the Militia of Ireland, in which it had appeared to them that a considerable reduction might be effected, with out at all impairing its efficiency. He proceeded to shew that a material difference existed between the English Militia and the Militia of Ireland. A reduc tion in the latter had been contemplated in the year 1817, but it was determined eventually that the Staff should be left to diminish gradually. A Bill vi as therefore brought in and passed, which enacted, that no removal should take place, but that the vacancies which occurred, from death or any other circum stances, should not be filled up: This course it -was proposed to continue till the number of the Irish Staff, then amounting to 3300, should be reduced to 1700. Since that time about 190 deaths or desertions had occurred, and about the same number were now in the Hospital. The orders which had been latterly is sued by the Irish Government on this subject had not been fully carried into execution. He did not mean to blame those Gentlemen who had felt themselves not bound to carry into effect the Measure which had been pressed on them without a legislative enactmem, but this circumstance made it necessary to come to Parliament on the present occasion. It was painful to him to interfere with the comforts and emoluments of individuals—but, though he felt for their suffer ings, it was a duty which he had to perform, and from which he would not shrink. He moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the more speedy reduction of the number of Seijeants, Corporals, 'and Drum mers, in the Irish Militia, not in actual service. Colonel SKEFFINGTON disapproved of the mea sure, and announced it to be his intention to resist the prOposed reduction. He, however, should not object to the Bill being brought in, but would reserve himself for the second reading, which he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not press before the 'papers for which he(Colonel Skeffington) bad moved in the early part of the evening, had been laid before the _ House. Sir JOHN NEWPORT wished to trouble the Home with a few words on a subject which he had more nearly at heart than any other. Though he had come to London for the purpose of being present at that great and momentous discussion, which was expected to come on in the course of the present week, he had done so with a strong conviction of the propriety of postponing that important question— the Catholic question. He expressed his opinion with great reluctance ; but he felt that the state of Ireland was so little understood at this moment, that it would not be dealing fairly with the question to bring it on before opportunities had been afforded to the Mem bers of that House to make themselves more ac quainted with the Sister Country than they could be at present. It was of great importance that that debate should be entered upon candidly and fairly, and with a full knowledge of the state of things in Ireland. lie, then: Cite, ventured to express a hope that his Right Hon. Friend would not bring on his nrotion on Thursday, but would consent to let it stand over till after-the recess. He preferred this re quest from a wish that the House should not pro ceed to the discussion of the Catholic Claims till all the information had been given which it was de sirable should be communicated, and he trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman would concur with him in this, and postpone his motion till after Easter. Mr. Secretary CANNING lost no time in declaring' that he had most entirely concurred with the Right Hon. Baronet. He was glad that this request had not been preferred by a less decided friend to the Catholic cause, as he (Mr. Canning) had . a clear and strong impression on his mind that the present temper of this country, and perhaps of the House itself, was not such as to give the question a fair hearing if brought forward at this moment. On the contrary, if the question were now agitated, it would be mixed up with a number of temporary, and, he hoped, transitory topics, of which it might be divested be foie that period arrived to which the Right Hon. Baronet desired that it should be postponed. It was therefore his hope, that his Right Hon. Friend would comply with the wish of the Right Hon. Baronet, as, doing so, he would not depart from any pledge he had given, and take that course which would best pro mote the great object which he had in view. Sir JOHN STUART expressed a wish that the question may be postponed for the present. He had just returned from Ireland, and though the mercantile part of the community were in - a tranquil state, a great portion of the country was very much agitated at this moment. He would not detain the House by going into the causes of that agitation; but he could mot help stating, that many persons who were de cided friends to the Government, disapproved of the proceedings. The SPEAKER begged to ask the Hon. Member if he intended to conclude with the motion ? He was sure that the House would feel, that when a request was made to postpone the debate on the Catholic Claims,. a subject of such practical importance, it ?eight be for their convenience that a slight deviation born the usual course should be permitted. But the moment a charge was made or an imputation thrown out, and an attempt made to couple it with observa tions, it then became his duty to interfere and to stop the speaker, unless he could state that he had a mcs. lion to make. The Hon. Member wbilld pardon him • Var this interruption, anti see, thit consistently with • the rules of the House, he could not be allowed to•pvo --teed if he did not propose to conclude with a motion. .Sir J. STUART disclaimed any intention Of ttts passing on the time of the Flouse bydeparting from the usual course ; but had felt it upt:essisi to make • the few remarks which be had offered. . Mr. PLUNK EIT, before he gave an answer to the Mr. HUME wished to know what extent of re duction in the expenditure was contemplated, by the measure now to be introduced. lie also wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Palmerston), whether the present Bill might be regarded as a pre lude to a similar reduction in the Staff of the English Militia? If the Militia of Ireland could be reduced, he thought a similar step ought to be taken with respect to that of England. Mr. GOULBURN did not think it necessary to offer any reply to his Hon. Friend (Col. Skeffington), further than to assure him that he would willingly put off the second reading till after the production of I the papers for which he had moved, and every op portunity would be offered for giving the subject the fullest consideration. To the question put by the' Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) as to the reduction of expense, he had to answer, that the estimate for the Mr. WIEN FELL called the attention of the House to the profits made by the Bank on the balances left in their hands, and of the loss which the Public in consequence sustained.— For a great many years these had been enormous, as the ba lances bad amounted to no less than from 11 to £ri,oo9,oGo. The profit annually thence accruing to the Bank, and the loss to the public, had amounted to between 5 and £600,000, while the services rendered by the Bank were neither more nor less than ordinary banking transactions. It 'had been stated to him by practical men, with whom he had conversed on this subject, that those services would have been amply and liberally re warded by an allowance of £lO,OOO per annum. Whets be called the attention of the •Heuse to this subject in 1815, the balance had amounted to the 1401 which he had mentioned. They had since been reduced to between 3 and £4,000,000. In the last year their amount had been £3,900,000. But he would ask why so large a sum as even '>C4,000,000 should be left in the hands of the Bank, unproductive to the country, when, in hie opinion, nothing would be more ealy than to admit the Public Ito a participation in the benefit? If the present Chancellor Of the lischequer would concede to him what he had never been able to gain from the late Chancellor of the Elchever, a Cons , Mittee to inquire into the subject, he pledgedb . insself to_ prove I .
