Sir JOHN NEWPORT said if the position of the lion. Member was correct, the sooner the House re scinded its resolution urn the subject the better. It was well known that at the beginning of every Ses sion the Howie came to a resolution declaring the in terference of a Peer respecting the election of a Member of Parliament to a Breach of Privilege; and if such a resolution could not hr enforced, the voting it was a mere Lace. if the lion. Member had even concurred in such a resolution, knowing it could not he enforced, he had not regarded the dignity of the House. Mr. WYNNE explained. • Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided ; when there appeared for the amend. latent 33.—Against it b2.—Majority against the amendment 49. HOUSE.OF COMMONS.—TnuksotT, Aram 11. Mr. P. MOORE presented a Petition from die Vicar, Churchwardens, and Inhabitant, of the Parish of the Hay Trinity, in the City of COrentry, praying that the Catholic might not be admitted into Political Power.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. LAM BTON presented a Petitido from the Be side's Freeholders of the Borough of Lyme Regis. in Dorsefshire. stating, that from the time of Ed ward the First, moil the year 1727, this Elective Franchise for that Borough was in the re idenaFree holders ; but that at the latter period the right of voting became vested is the Corporation, by a 46 2 sifts of the House. That the Bor►►ugh has low be come a seat of patronage fur a Peer of the Beam, who, by his sek influence, castes his ow■ relations to bit returned ; and that, ronsequently, the inhabitants have no share in the representation. The Petitioners prayed that the House would take their case into eon sideratioss, sod afford them such relief as they might be considered entitled to. The Hon. ilentbrr said, that the subject of the Petition was of the highest int parlance; but th it at present he should merely move tharthe Petition hr brought lip. Mr. iItIBHOUSE thought his lion. Friend, the Mem ber for Durham, had not done altogether right in con fining himself to moving that the petition be brought up. The House, in a ease like the present (in which the Petitioners complained of the interference of a Peer in matters of Election), onght to refer the peti tion to a Committee of Privileges. It was stated in a petition addressed to that Monte in the year 1791, that 1:►I individuals returned a majeri!y of that House ; and the assertion was not then contra It was alto a short time since stated in smother peti tion that the late Sir John Johnstone had by his wili left two seats in that Mom to cer•ain inolividnais, and an extract oldie will was inserted in the Petition. The Houourable Member after several other observa tions upon the saute subject, concluded by moving that the Petition be referred to a Committee of Pri vileges. Sir J. (MAHAN! opposed the amendment. The right of voting for this Borough haul been decided by law several years ado. It was nut true that the seats for the Borough in question were filled by relations or dependants of the Noble Lank alluded to. They were filled by men of the highest respectability in the kingdom; and it was well known that litany Hon. Members on the other side of the House were returned by the inflotenee of Peers. . Mr. 11l I tST considered that the House was hound to refer the Petition to a Committee of privil . eges. this was the usual Parliamentary course, where the interference of alleer ioai eoniplaitie'd * Lord LOWTHRIt opposed the amendment. Mr. LAM lift IN said, the argument of the Honour able Baronet did n ►t justify the proceeding complain ed of by the petitioners. If Members were returned on that side of the !louse by the interference of Peers it was a gross abuse, and one abuse did nut justify anost.:er. '1 Mr. III:MUSSON sa'd, the petition was confided to the statement of a general evil, coupled with a complaint of the decision of the Huu•e as to the ri2lot ut votito; fur the Borough. No particular election Was complained of, anal no specific Fro end was laid f-r the interference of the Mouse. The subject of the Petition might be very proper for reference, upon a motion respecting the general state of the represent ation which the Honourable Member for Durbaut in teuded to bring under the attention of the House ; hoot he (Mr. H.) did not think it a case to justify a refe rence to a Committee of Privileges. Lo d ALTHORP said, the present was not a gene ral complaint; for it alluded to an inoliviolotal instance, and an individual Peer, though he was not tuentianeol by name ; anal it also stated, that that Peer influenced the election. lie (Lord A.) con-iolered this a direct breach of privilege, and highly tit to be considered in a Committee. He should, therefore, vote for the amendment. Mr. IiCSKISSON explained. The complaint was of influence Dot interference. He believed the na tural influence which was possessed by Peer., in con sequence of their property, was never consiolereol il legal. Mr. NIONCE said, he considered this a case pecu liarly calling for the attention of the 110 use. The subject of complaint was, if true, a direct breach of pritilege ; and, if this petitioo was not a fit one to call for the relief of the Hon.', he shoal,' like to be informed what was a case for such relief 1:—If this were passed over, he thought there would he but one opinion on the sut►j,:ct out of the walls of the House, and that opinion would have n o tendency 'to raise a confidence in the people upon the acts of the House. Mr. HUTCHINSON supported the petition at some length. Mr. SMITH thought the chief complaint of the petitioners was, the c••ntractiun of their elective frit,- ehise Ile n•as not prepared to sad• that all intls►rner n•as corrupt. or that the ialuenee which might be possessed by a Nob'e►nan from neighbourhood, frnas rank, and from talent. ►cas just ►natter of con►pl.iint. As he was called upon at the iiupulse of the mo went to give his vote it would be against the amend ment. Mr. VYNNE said, that in his opinion this was not a Petitiva whirls could properly be referred to a Committee of Privileges. Ile complaint was too Kr iterAl, and came besides with a complaint of the deci• sion of the lions". Beside., a Committee of Privi leges coul,l sin ;nothing in such a twir as the pres•nt: unless the Nobleman in question heist some csAce nosier the Crown, in which case the House might address the Croon t rcusisre hint.

The laws therefore failed of their object. occasioned inconvenience, bet did no good, and he should therefore give his must cordial assent to the motion. USURY LAWS. Mr. Serjeaat ONSLUW, persuant 'notice, rum to 411 the attention of the House to the Laws regulative Interest for the Loin of Money. In the year IF'S, Ise had first brought this subject before the House ; but it was then thought unsafe to agitate the question, and he did not press it. He afterwards again bronght it before Parliament, and his proposal was not objected to. The House appointed a Committee, which exa mined evidence at considerable 1: ngth; and among the persons examined, were to be found the names of persons of the highest talent and respectability. Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Segel's'', Mr. Kaye, Sir Samuel Itotnilly, and several solicitors of eminence were examined on the subject, and the opinions of those gentlemen n-ere, that the Usury Lines were generally ineffectual, anal that where ineffectual, they were mischievous ; and it was generally believed that they would have long since been repealed, load they Hot been constantly evaleol, mud that their ex• istenee bail a tendency to increase Ilse rate of its. *rest. The Committee ratite to several resolutions, embracing the substance of those opinions, and yet at the present moment those laws remained nosrepealeil It ft-as well known that men of fortune had been rout polled to raise money, by granting :infinities at 15 per cent. upon three, four, and even five lives, foie t e purpose of evading the present laws, when they tabula have removed their dila: tities upon easier terms, if the law were left open.
