HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY, APRIL CC. Mr. Erskine and Mr. Wood were heard for the Crown, on the long depending Appeal by Writ of Error, on the judgment pronounced by the Court held at Carlisle, on the 10th of August, 1792, be ing the summer Assizes of that year, in the cause between the Inhabitants of the County of Cumber. land and our Sovereign Lord the King. After which the Lord Chancellor' read the question sub mitted to the Judges, and the Chief Baron read the reasons, which induced them to be unanimously of opinion, that the judgment ought to be affirmed. On the question being put, it was affirmed accord ingly. Tile Order on the Chalking Bill for Ireland was, on the motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, dis charged, and a new Order made for Friday next. Lord LIMERICK said, that on accesint of the absence of a Noble Friend abis, from unavoidable cause, he was under the necessity of moving to dis charge the second reading of the Irish Bank Restrietion Bill, and move, a new Order for Mon day next. Lord KING reminded the House, that previous to the recess, he had given notice of his intention to 1 ri lg the papers on the Table, on the subjeet of Re venue and Finance,. under consideration ; he rose, therefore, to say, that unless some unforeseen cir cumstance should arise to prevent it, he would on Monday next submit a motion on the subjecl. to their Lordship? consideration. Lord WALSINGHAM moved the second read ing of the St. Pancras Poor-house Bill, when - I.4rd RAWDON (Earl of Moira), rose, and said, he should have felt it a painful task, if it had been necessary for him to go into a full discussion of all the topics conneeted with the present Bill, but the petitioners, whose petition he had presented, did not objeCt to the whole of the Bill, but opposed it par tially, and that on a ground that was undoubtedly highly objedionable. Ile would state what their objection was, viz. the Bill professed one objeCt, but its true policy and objet were entirely different from that professed. It would have been but decent to have stated its objet iu the preamble, or title of the Bill, which was no less than to dispossess the pa rishioners of St. Pancras, to a limited extent of that franchise, which was the natural right of every sub jeCt, viz. for parishioners in vestry assembled, to have the management of their own power. The Bill went to the vesting the management of the poor of ' the Parish of St. Pancras in certain guardians and trustees, arbitrarily chosen, and not subjeft to the controul of the parishioners. His Lordship said, it was but too freqnently the praaice of their Lordships, ~ r"_~.r~4./_• ." PEICE SIXPENCE. out of respeet to de - House of Commons, to pa st over such Bills as were brought up from that House with less attention, and more relaxed examination, than was usually paid to their own A&. Had such a Bill as the present originated in their Lordships' House, he was persuaded that they would have ex _ _ pe&eil that the title and preamble should have ex plicitly stated the real object of the Bill, and that some evidence should have been given at the Bar on the second reading of the Bill, to establish its ne cessity and expediency. It was too late now to do that; but having thus stated what he had to objeet,, lie should, on the motion that the Bill should be committed, move, that the petitioners be heard, • by their witnesses in the Committee, upon the allega tions of the several petitions, which would be laid on. the Table. On the question of commitment being put, Lord RAWDON moved, that the petitioners be heard by their witnesses in the Committee. His Lordship presented two other Petitions, and a third was brought up by Lord Wakingham. Seven or eight Messages or Bills were brought up frcm . the Commons, by Mr. Alexander, Mr. Las celles, and oth?rs, and presented. The Bills were read a first time. I he Bilk on the Table were read their stages. — A dj ()timed. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, AptlL 2t. - Sir LAWRENCE PARSONS presented a pe- tition from the Grand Jury of the King's Countjr, against the Dublin Canal Bill, which was ordered - to lie on the Table. A Message from the Lordc announced their hav ing agreed to the Grenada Loan, and several private Mr. JEKYLL presented a petition from certain Clothiers of Yorkshire, against thi last Bill, for the regulation of that trade.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Col. LONGFIELD presented a petition from the tanners of Cork, complaining of the regulations for the colleetion of the tanners' duty, and praying for relief.—Ordered to lie on the Tab le. Mi. CORRY seconded the motion for the peti. tion being received, and said, that the obje' of it should receive every degree of attention. Mr LEE deferred his motion for granting com pensation to certain patentees in Ireland, wno were sufferers by the Union, till Monday next. The Committee on the Irish Courts of Law Re gulation Bill was deferred to the same day, The second reading of the Clothier's Bill was de. ferred till to-morrow. On the motion of Mr. N. Vansittart, an account was ordered to he presentee of the amount of the permanent taxes from the sth of April, 1802, to the corresponding date, in 1803, distinguishing each quarter. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Sir ROBERT BUXTON move.l, that the Order for the return of the list of voters objeFled to by the sitting Member, and petitioning Candidate on the late Ele&ion for the County of Middlesex, to be de livered on the sth of May next, be read, for the pur pose of having it discharged, (which being complied with), he said, that when the House agreed to this proposed time, it was in order to accommodate both the parties, as a matter of convenience, as a month. was considered to be sufficient for each party to en quire into the list of natr. , ..s. This order he con ceived likely to operate against the petitioner, as it would debar him from availing himself of any .dis coveries he might make in the intermediate time be tween the May and the next Session of Parliament, before which it was manifest that the pe►ition could not be heard. Mr. GREY objected to the motion, as tending to favour the petitioner, more than the sitting Member The opinion of the House at the time of fixing the period of giving in the lists was, that a month was amply sufficient for any enquiries necessary to be made. Sir ROBERT BUXTON replied, that the oh jea of the House in fixing a precise time was to ac commodate the convenience of both patties, bet as no decision could take place this Session, there was no good reason why every scope should be given to enquiry. To at otherwise would be an injustice to the petitioner. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT left it to the House whether, after what they had already determined, the petitioner ought not to have his enquiries in the same forwardness as was expected. According to the measure now proposed, instead of one month, the enquiries might proceed for eight, nine, or twelve months. Mr. BRAGGE was for the motion, as the deay of a decision was unavoidable, and was not the fault of either of the parties. There was nothing li!:e parti..lity in this process, as it was equal] f &vow-- able to both. The House would not enter into an examination of all the varieties whiCh might occur upon county eleaions, and perhaps it may net be altogether right to let the parties go to issue in the lists already delivered, when there was sufficient time for further examination. Mr. HURST said, that as the Committee might probably be ballotted for on the first week of the next Session, the lists had better be exchanged on the last day of this, which would give ample time for all necessary enquiry. Mr. GREY coincided in this opinion, at d consi dered that by this arrangement a preference would be given to the petitioner. If the present order should be discharged, no other petition could be presented before the next Session. Mr. BRAGGE observed, that if there should be occasion, the House had it in its power at any time to make such further arrangements as might be thought proper. The Question for the discharge of the Or(ler for the petition against the Return and Elenion, to b. taken into consideration on the sth of May. %: as then put and carried.—(There consequeatly . • ... .-~__.
