The Earl of LA I'DEls.. r• 1-" observed, thet the ✓um in qoestion was not a ea.1.1.1' bet an cation tor 'spent,' that woulu elle‘-' 4 " 61 7 be ie . carted by the Covet, and it was not " 4 `Pr th," he (heresies so elevated should make out 'Grans nes fully justifiable upon the same pr;w l Pl e .that had justified the Grant to the Queen. ble:7 , were of opinion that the Grant would have been pro per if made from the Privy Purse. But in his opi nion sorts s proceeding would have been a violation of the rights of private property. The Privy Purse lied been recognised by Act of Parliament as the psi •ste property of the King, and the savings out of it followed the course of the Common Law. Ile would ask, whether on the event of the King having con. tracted debt., such a Grant could be made from the Privy Purse. A proposition might with equal justice be made to dispose of the property that had been left by the Queen to her daughters. Some of the greatest lawyers of the age had been of prinion, that, io the nest of no will, the savings out the Privy Parte would come to the Crown ' • though, in some of his opinions on that subject, he had the mortifica tion to fiad that be agreed with neither side of the now,. There was meanness in the redactions that bed been made in the Windsor Establishment, pita. cslsrlyin throwing 'poetise world some that had served upon it from 30 to 40 years. Many had looked to she s:tuations they held there as a provision for their future days. The details that bad been gone into were disgraceful to Parliament, sad tended to ender. mine the dignity of the Crows ; nor could be see what lion the death of the Queen bed with the reduction that had taken place. lie should there fore support the Bill. The Earl of DARNLEY thought that the interest of the Duke of York would have been better con sulted, bad be come down to the House, sod in his place dialled the salary proposed to be attached to the office. Ile should vote for the proposition of his Noble Friend. 'Ate Marquis of LANSDOWN stated, that at the •the closely( the last Session he had observed that the •redoction of the Windsor Establishment might sup gni, the topcoat of the Royal Marriages. At the commencement of the King's Indisposition, a hope had been entertained of his recovery ; and in that view the Royal Establishment had been continued on the -89,4198 foothig as before. There was then a good ground for she-eduction of that part of the Establishment that had been continued coder the idea that the Xing 'alight recover. If he could fur • moment suppose, that such a proposal im plied any abandonment of the King, be would he the Stet to lake the ernes of the House in opposi tion to it. The Bill before their Lordships was, upon the whole, a fair arrangement ; but epee the Grant to the Duke of York, be converted wish , his Noble Friend (Lord Grey). Bet could the services of the Duke of York be recognised by . that House, he should cheerfully vote for any ossonerstios for those services. it would have been better that the claim had net been made, though, at the same time, no doubt could be entertained that -the duties would be most faithfully and ably dis charged. He could not -concur with kis Noble Friend (the Emil of Lauderdale) that the Privy Purse wee the private propesty of the Sovereign. At the commeocernent of the present reign it had merged in she Civil List, and the separation had originated from Mr. Betke's Bill. Bot the real question wee, had Parliament made the Pay' , Purse private .property ? Were that the ease, Parliament could have ors right to enable the Duke of York to grant pensions oat of it, and yet Parliament bad charged the whole expence of the medical attendance upon the Privy Purse. Parliament lOW that two Privy Pusses could not esist at the same time, and mead isigly the Privy Parse of the Prince Regent was for lii, sole use. /le could see no impropriety in the salary or remonstration of the Costes being defined oat of the Privy Purse. The office could derive no addi tional responsibility from a salary bring sneezed to it, and be should therefore give his negative to that part of the Bill. Lewd LAUDERDALE, in esplanlion, observed, that Parliament might make the same application of she Privy Parse that had been made by the King, who always paid the medical attends's , ' out of it ; and, in en doing, Parliament only carried into effect the wilt of the King. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the Privy Purse wag as much the private property of the X,:ig as the property of any Noble Lord of that House wee his own. A judicial opinion upon the sub ject could only be obtained from Acts of Parliament, and the point was completely settled by the Acts of the nth and 40th of the Ktug. By those Acts the King o as 'gabled to bey estates with the motley, to sell those estates, and devise them, by will, as his pri vate property.—(l/ear'.)—Like private property they were liable to the payment of his debts, and subject to legation. The King's recovery was never to he des-sired of ; and it was bet reasonable that a principle that applied to the case of the meatiest sub ject should apply also to the Sovereign. The Act gave a personal theracter to the property till the death of the King ; and by the Act of the 57th, the private was separated from the royal property. — Every word in the Act upon the subject declared the property to be private; tied Parliament in paying the medical attendants out of it only slid what the King bad done before—(//ear !) I o the case of a Costes, the same principle did not apply to the King, from his political character, that would apply to a private individual. The Constitu tion: bad pronounced that the King should remain S ign till Isis death, however unable to exercise the functions of Sovereign power; and in all jedi• cial decisions, the possibility of recovery was always supposed, and provision made that the Whigs of the party should be spared as much es possible open his recovery. Had the Dake of York accepted the pike gratuitously, that, in his mind, would have been an objection to his baring it. 'lke Bill bad his cordial support. Lard KlNti abetted to the outober of the Cs bioet, sod observed, that eacb iedirid.N Meltber of it bore only 1.15 th pert of the blame of any of their measures. Those were the greatest enemies of the Croon, who brought the question •f grants to the Royal Family so frequently before Parliament. Ile should oppose the grant as •nnecessery, though he approved of the rest of the Bill. The Marquis of BUTE supported rho grant on the sun* grounds with the Lord Chancellor. FAti GREY shortly replied. lie could see no additional 'spent. incurred by the appointment, and must therefore oppose the grant. One Noble Lord had said, that it was impossible to state the es pewees; another had said, that he meld easily con ceive t►em, though be could net raplain them.- 4 12 thought, that expellees that could be neither scat.✓ nnr captained, should not be provided fir by that rh ,, A .„ : 41.0 was then nertived without a di. ; mi d at A s ,'"eo'Clock the Ileum adjourned. STATF,SMAN portance. Ile hod two Petitions of a similar prayer which he sboold sho►tly p►esent to the House. Mr. DAWSON objected to the Petition ; one ola limiter nature bed been some !Weslaco presented to the Mese and it was rrjocted, becalm. lb. Douse considered that the proper place for its itssestigatiew was a Cnert of IA w. Mr. HARVEY obs►rved, that in many cases the want of pecuniary means prevented en appeal to a Court of Low ; he thought this great public grievance required some logidstive regulation. Sir FRANCIS BURDLIT said, that the tyro Petitions on this subject were of a very different cha racter. The one which bad been lately alluded to, was of a private Wore; bet the other (the one before them) related In a great public grievance, of which the facts detailed in that Petition Irma simple. The object for the lloose's consideration was the chain of circumstances connected with that griev ance, arising from a power which the Rouse, as he thought, bad very unwisely confided to the Magistrates; and surely this involved an object of the greatest importance to the happiness and comfort of the greet body of the People. Alas of 1 jd. was levied upon every pot of beer that was consumed by them, arising entirely from this arbitrary system of lieensina.—.(l/ear!)—.lle hoped, therefore, there would be no objection to receiving that Petition. Ile was informed that the amount of the tax so levied open the community was es less than 8.50,0001., • ItUelll any irerieirt to that community, bat that it went into the pockets of the great mersopoliaing ►rewers. It weevils-elated that the total value cribs consumption of that article (beer) was 4,000,0001. Ily. *f be fait was felt, therefore, among all clones of people, bat affected one class above all others, whom it was manifestly desirable it should least operate upon.—(llcari) Mr. WYNN wished to esk,whether the former Pe tition, which hail been mentioned, was rejected? Sir JOHN OSBOItN replied that it was. It was from Bristol. Mr. BROUG HAM made some observations,w Lich were only indistinctly audible. We understood to move that the fortl.or consideration on t►is be adjourned till to.morrow (this day). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIFQL I . Mr. HUME exch-.nged a few wends. The SPEAKER re-stated the original question, ' since which it had been moved that ;he debate be ad. jostroed until to-morrow. ❑ . Mr. HUME hoped that the Petition would be al lowed to lie on the 'able. 'f be lion. GEORGE LAMB considered t►at • question arose upon the prayer of the Petition. Was it or was it not the same as the former one? If it was in effect a similar one, then, indeed, Gentle men on the other side might meet the Petitioner by telling him that his remedy was with a court of law : but if it was of soother description, not merely praying for his own remedy, but for a general re. medy of grievances, it was decidedly differen•, sod was to be viewed in another way.—[//ear!)—lle submitted that the Petition was for a general remedy of grievances, and ought therefore to lie upon the table; that it was to be considered on its own merits end on its own grounds; that being fur • ',floral remedy of the law, it was • 6t Petition for tb• con sideration of the lloose.—Uleer!) Mr. BROUGHAM wished to observe, that the prayer of the Petition was for relief. Now, in an swer to what bed fallen from en lion. Gentleman (Mr. Wynn), that relief the Petitioner could not obtain from • Court of law. Ile might move for • criminal information to be filed against the party, bet then his circamstaocra were such es had been stated. What relief could he obtain by applying to the Court of King's Bench? None: it could not give it him. Ile had, therefore; applied for relief to that House. lie was not, for one, disposed to go the length of seyhig, that the House should never receive a Proitinn from the subject where he might have his remedy in a Court of Law. That would be too strict a course of proceeding ; and there were many cases in which deficiency of the law might reader as sf•pliation to that Hoes* necessary. Mr. WYNN acknowledged that particular circum stances migat warrant a different course; bet thought, generally speaking, that the House acted unwisely in admitting complaints in cases wherein the remedy was already provided for by law. On the same plea of poverty, they might be called upon, in any other instance, to enter upon their Journals complaints of individuals against Magistrates who might have no opportunity of replying to them. If they once allowed this sort of practice, they would have complaints of esery injury which any Wiwi deal might commit against another, and the same plea advanced of inability to defray expences of a law suit. Complaints, indeed, against any public person, or any Government Officer higkin place,were cases in which such complaints might properly be admitted. With re sped to what had fallen from his Honourable sod Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham), he must how, of 'course, to his superior legal judgment; but lie should have thought where such expressly illegal conditions ware attempted to he coupled with the retseual of the Petitioner's licence, an action would hove lain and been good against the Magistrate who proposed them. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, and the further debate eas ad journed antil this rimy. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT wished to have the evidence he bad alleded to printed. It bad not been yet beers the lime, and might be soon pro duced. Sir ROBERT WIISON concurred in the pro priety of the production of those Minutes of Evi dence. He believed the reset , of them was highly creditable to the principal Brewers of the Metropolis, a n d be anticipated, therefore, no objection on their Part to the proposition. Mr. WYNN enquired whether the evidence taken before 14 Committee had been r►ported ? Sir M. W. RIDLEY observed, that he had be►n • Member of the Committee, and it was late in she Ses sion whets their decision was made. They wer►, however, extremely anxious that the evidence should be wittiest. Sir F. BLIRDETT then gave notice of hi. Wen lion to move for a new Committee, and that t►e Mi nutes of the last shool4l be referred to it. Mr. FYSCIIE PALMER presented a Petition from John 03" Y! • Ntlvai Officer, setting forth his 41111. .1 sessfios, and comptsinink that he had not mat with d.. pagasatian, On At Pntitiodu with did not conclude with gay formal prayer. it was nbsemed hr TM SPEAKER, that the object of lAe Petitione r mast be reflected from the rotors of kis complaint. and the circumstances related in it ; bat there weer. two marginal notes in red ink, which, ilaether, i n _ tended as interlinestions or addition,. did not appear.

Sir FRANClilibiiliEfe said, he was about to present • petition from • very poor but very honest man, who was one of a very widely eatesided class of people, whose rase deserved the gravest consi deration of that Reese. The Petitioner complained of grievances arising out of the present arbitrary system of licensing. The Petitioner hid a public. house, which he let ; another person coming into the premises ran in debt with • brewer, who was a prin cipal !disesteem of the town (Plymouth), to a large amount, arid could not pay him; in consequence of which the brewer refined to renew his (the Peti tioner's) licence, sinless be paid the debt, which he had nothing to do with, and did sot possess the means of defraying.—[!tear!}—The Hon. Baronet said, That he should not now 'aisle upon the shameful and arbitrary power exercised by Lisensiug Magistrates: alt he should et present move was, that this Petition be brought op, and that the evideoce of the Brewers' Committee, which sat on a former occasion, and which he believed had not hitherto been printed, be , now printed and laid before the Howse, in order to give it an opportunity of ascertaining the state of the law. and of facts connected with this subject. The Petition was then brooght op and read ; it was from a person of the name of Hooper, who stated himself to have formerly kept the poblic-hoese called the Rising San, Castle -street, Plymouth; that the transaction took place in 1813, end that the debt which was incurred by the other individual was so incorrect daring his absence in Cork. It concluded by stating, that the Petitioner had net the money to enable him to undertake a suit against a Bench of Justices, sad praying that his case, and the grit,- armee •ccssioned by the licensing sperm, might be taken into ClPnsideratioo. On the question that it lie on the table, _ _ Mr. WYNN objected to the Petition, boogie a Court of lie was the most proper plasm for the Pe. titioner to apply for redress ; ho was certain that if the allegations of the Petitioner could be substantiated an information against the Magistrates would be im mediately granted. Mr. if ti M E remembered that the object of the Petition was for the purpose of bringing a great poll. lie grievance before the noose. The Magistrates possessed the power of acting with caprice. and to refuse the licence without soy apparent reason, sod the publican too was wholly without redress. lie thought it proper to make these observations, be aus, the subject appeared to him of the greatest im• .
