It was, howe►er, matter of notoriety that acts of the greatest violence and outrage had been committed in si.me districts of the country ; and although the con duct of the rioters might be, in some degree, traced to the high price of provisions and the reduction of work, sti:l there was no doubt that these outrages were fomented by persons who had views and objects in thus fomenting distu+•iaancea which it was the duty of r. overnment tocoutiteract.

Mr. WESTERN then proposed an Amendment, by leaving ont all the words by which a Tax was laid upon Horses in Hus bandry. Mr. BROUGHA NI supported the Amendment; and Mr. V A NSITTA KT opposed it. Mr. (TILES enquired whether the duty was likely to amount to such a sum as to reader it worth while to do such essential in jury to the agricultural interests of the country? Sir C.

Nearly connected u he was with a district of the country most disturbed, he felt it necessary to conjure the House, that the case of these unfortunate and mis- . guided people might be fully and candidly weighed, that the result might be the restoration of order, unanimity, prosperity, andlappiness. ' The question was then put, and the Resolution was agreed to nem. con. Lord CAS t'LEREAGII then moved, that the Papers he had this day presented, should be re- I ferred to a Committee, that it be a Committee of Secrecy, 'and that the number of Members be twen ty-one, which were severally ordered. His Lord ship likewise mowed, that the Members be chosen by ballot. Mr. WHITBREAD . protested against this mode of proceeding, since it would give the Noble Lord the appcintment of every Member of the Commit tee. He wished that the Members of it should be publicly named and chosen, that the House, and not the Noble Lord,might have the formation of:the COM. mittee.—[Hear! Lord CA' MI:REACH persisted in his motion, since he was certain that on no side of the House on such a question would party feelings be exercised; he was convinced that it would be treated by Parliament in a manner, which, while it did it honour, would give satisfaction to the people. Sir F. BURDETT, looking at the precedents to which Mr. Whitbread had referred, could not help k. feeling great jealousy as to the conduct of Govein meat ; be hoped that the bounds of the Constitution would not a new be transgressed by them. The mode in which the Committee was formed, if the sa tisraction of the people were looked to, was of the atmost importance.—[Hear, hear!) It ought to be of such a description that the country would place reliance upon its widom and impartiality, and not to be merely composed of the creatures of Ministe rial nomination. The question, that the Committee be chosen by bal lot, was then put and carried, though there were a ' long number of dissentient voices. On the question that Members prepare lists, and appear ft-morrow to put them into the classes ap pointed for their reception, Mr. WHITBREAD declared, that he should not' attend for that purpose, as experience had shewn that it would be useless, since any list he might prepare would be smothered in the vast heap of names supplied by the Noble Lord and his political friends. It was ordered that the Papers communicated by the Prince Regent should remain sealed until the . _ peso, or fear •in esirsing what course Ministers pointment a the Committee. woeid suggest, but it originated in an opinion that • ' ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. neither the House nor the country being in possesaion Sir W.

In the first place 6 h a d provided, that the process of excommunication should be discontinued, anti in its place he had sub. stitnted the process do contuntaci capiendo. 11. had next abolished excommunication genernlly, e xc ing in cases of great enormity. He had not tho .. It it fit to destroy it altogether, since as ev.try othc r Establishment possessed the power, he did not think that the Church of England should he place lin an ! inferior situation. The neat provision was, that 1 the civil consequences attendant upon exc,mmunie-_ tion should the removed, excepting in cases of i - e .,, t and some others. The objet, he Ha d next cor ,em 'nutted, was the abolition of a number of minor F•• :le. Antics! Courts, on the maxim, that imp %Tem • ~, jurisprudence ispromoted ay e\!ensiorsofjurisdi ~ , .'A number of clauses had ibeen i lam ted f or th e pi t, of removing the proceedings of the inferior trih....... • into the Diocestu Courts. The qualification of the 1 Judges had then occupied his attention, and the re. I itainder of the Bill was occupied in making provi. ohms relative to Church Rates and Tithes. He :lac omitted in this measure two matters that some Gen. tiemen might have wished inserted ; it was silent on 1 the subject of defamation, because, if the jurisetctior l of the Ecclesiastical Courts were taken away in mat. tens of slander on the Church, they would not In cognizable in our Courts of Law. All provision: regarding Ireland were also omitted, Sir W. Scott professing himself not sufficiently Repainted with the constitution of the Consiatbrial Courts there.-- 1 Under many circumstances of disadvantage, he had 1 discharged the task imposed upon him by the house ' with great diffidence, well aware of the magnitude and importance of the subject: if the House should adopt his Bill, he should feel much pleasure ; but if i it disapproved of it, he would take leave of it with out regret. He moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of Ecclesiastical Courts in that part of the United Kingdom called England, land for the more easy Collection of Chinch Rates and Tithes. LORD FOLKESTONE expressed his satisfaction at seeing the promise of the Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman fulfilled: the measure as dis closed met his entire approbation; he lamented only that it had been introduced at so late a period of the .session, and that it was brought forward under such ill-auspices, when the Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman declared that if it were thrown out he should take leave of it without regret. Sir W. SCOTT expittioed, and adverted again to the difficulties with which he had to contend, in sepa. rating the Ecclesiastical Law, when it - was so inter. woven and united with the very substance of oar ' Cohstitution. He denied that he was indifferent as to the fate of the Bill. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, after some observa tions on the injurious tendency of the jurisdiction in question, said he understood it was not the int-ntion of the Right ,Honourable Gentleman to e. , .tend the provisions of his Bill to Ireland. lie supposed ,liat this arose from the difference In the Conttifu'ion of the Spiritual Courts in that part of the empire, b.'t he could not help • ishing that a teeasere which leer ised to be so generally advantageous, should be commu nicated to that country. Mr. TIGHE strongly recommended the B;11 to be extended to Ireland; where, it the Spirit' al Courts were different, fife difilvence was I , r the worse. Sir W. SCOTT said a few words in expitplation, when it was ordered, that he and tut Attorney-Gene ral should prepare and being in the Mr. ABERCROMBIE gave notice, that on Wed s nesday next he should move for the production of the IReport of the Committee appointed to enquire into the delays of the Court of Chancery. Mr. FITZGERALD moved, , that the Report on the Inland Navigation of Ireland should lie on the table, which, After a few words from Mr. Giddy and Lord Desert, was agreed to. j Sir S. ROMILLY gave notice, that o n Monda y I nee, he should move for more detailed returns of the oonvicts in Ireland. MR. PALMER'S RILL. Mr. PALMER moved the third reading of the Per Centage Bill. Sir FRANCIS BURDET'r rose to say a few words respecting some misconception which prevailed rela tive to the opinions which had been given on the le. gality of Mr. Palmer's claim, by Sir J. hlansfield, Lola Erskine. Sir Vicary Gibbs, and Mr. Adam. It had been said that the opinion of those eminent lawyers had been formed on ex-parte evidence. This he was prepared to disprove, and to shew that it was delivered on a full review and knowledge of all the circumstances of the case. Here the Honourable Baronet read an extract from the written opinion of Mr. Palmer's Counsel. He acknowledged that there was some part of that Gentleman's conduct that was Out strictly defensible ; but he denied that it could at all affect the question as to the justice of his claim, inasmuch as the conduct alluded to, so far front 1 evincing any want of integrity in his public trust, i ' arose from his impatience at the ignorance of those who'were set over him. Lord Walsingham and Lord Chesterfield had, nevertheless,greatly to their honour, 1 borue ample testimony to the general merits of Mr. Palmer. There was, likewise, sufficient proof in the ° great increase of the revenue, of the value and im. portance of Mr. Palmer's plan—a plan which tied re. i quired great talents and exertions to carry into etc ; cation—an object, however, which Mr. Palmer had successfully accomplished. It was a most unfair prin• iciple thud to assume, that because the gain to the pub -1 lic had been enormous, and the per ce..tage to toe in dividual must of course be great, therefore, the House I ought to pause b e fore they fulfilled the dema nds of Ijustice. When he saw sinecures actually i:icreasing 1 in proportion to the increasing distresses of the coon try, and the Ilouse refusing to interfere, on the grand i that the gentlemen holdi n g them had a legal right to their possession, he thought it very hard that such an argument should be urged in a case where great actual service had been performed, and where no improvi dent bargain had been ioade. M. BANKES said a fe w words in opposition to the Bill, which was read a. third time and passed, without e division. • . . . Mr. PARKER , COKE moved the second reading of the Fretee-work-kaitten' Bill. He stated the ob- ( I G I ~, ~ ~~ ~. , I = It I i
