ThteLORD CHANCELLOR left the Woolsack, owl sava Mice, that be should mow that the . • House be summoned on Wednesday next, to take into consideration the Standing Order, No. 126. His Lordship said; that when any private property was purchased for a public purpose, such as to ac commodate a turnpike, an enclosure, a canal, or any other °Ned of that sort, and the title could not be 'quite satisfaCtorily made out, although perhaps a few months would have made the title complete, it was usual for the seller to deposit the purchase money in that great reservoir the Court of Chan cery, and there to let it be till a sufficient title was made out. This circumstance naturally invited persons to come forward, as claimants, although they might have but a shadow of a claim, and who would not otherwise have thought of setting up their claim. If, therefore, the deposit was 2001. it frequently put the seller to the expence of 40 or 501. costs, to recover his 2001. He meant, there fore, on Wednesday, to move an amendment of the Standing Order, viz. that the costs should be paid by those who set up a claim ; and he was prompted to move his proposed amendment from circum stances which came under his own experience, in consequence of the proftssiohal office which he held. —Ordered. Lord Sheffield's ConviCtion Reform Bill WAS again submitted to a Committee, in which Lord Sheffield moved a new clause. The Bill passed the Corn. HOUSE OF COMMONS. NIOND•Y, JUNE 27. The Scotch Road and Bridges Bill was read a third time. • Captain COCHRAN moved, that there should be laid before the House a Copy of the Memorial ompanying the Papers presented by him to the zds of the Admiralty, on the 17th January, 1799, aative to Prizes, and Prize Appeal Causes. The Poor Workhouse Bill was read a third time and passed. A Message from the Lords informed the House their Lordships had agreed to the Clergy Residence Bill. The SPEAKER acquainted the House, that he had this day received a Copy of the Minutes of the Commissioners of Ireland, for the purpote.of being, laid before the Select Committee appointed to try the Merits of the Petition, complaining of an undue Election for the City of Waterford ; and that he bid, by his warrant, published in the Gazette, di. meted the said Sele& Committee to re-assemble on Thursday, the 7th July next, at ten o'clock in the' morning. The Southern Whale Fishery BM was read a se. coed time, and committed for to-morrow. The House went into a Committee on the Militia Officers'Alill, the Report was received, and the-Bill - ordered to be engrossed. Mr. WILBERFORCE presented a Petition upon the subjet of the Bill depending before Parliament concerning the Woollen Manutadory, the obje& of which Bill was the repeal of certain statutes, passed in the reign of different Monarchs, to prevent the use of certain machines, and also one of the clauses of the statute of Elizabeth, which prohibited per sons from exercising the trade of a woollen-manu fadurer, unless he had served an apprenticeship. The clause in the present Bill, which went to the re peal of the apprentice clause, extended to Wells, . Somersetshire, and Gloucestershire. The manufae turers in general' conceived it a matter which did not concern them ; for that reason they had abstained from coming forward. The body of men, whose petition he presented, formed the basis of the popu lation of an extensive part of the county he repre sented ;' that might account for the Petition having. been presented so late. The number of petitioners., amounted to 15,000, and they consisted of persons who did not work together in large Manufaetories,. but each in the bosom of his family; and,, as, they lived in distrkls that lay far apart, it had been impos sible to collea their signatures earlier. The prayer of the Petition was, that the Petitioners might be. allowed to be heard by counsel on the third reading. •of the Bill. He moved'that the Petition should lie. upon the table, and the Petitioners be heard by counsel. Admiral BERKELEY observed, that the Peti tioners had had sufficient time to have come for ward at a much earlier period, therefore thcy were not entitled to the indulgence they prayed. He moved, as an amendment, that the words relating to the Petitioners being heard by counsel shOuld be 'omitted: After a short debate between Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Stanhope, and Mr. Brooke, the amendment was rejeded. n Mr: Vanlittart brought up the Scoteh Consolida tion Duties Bill,' whi c h was read a first, and ordr ed to be read a second time to-morrow. The SECRETARY at . WAR' rnoved the order , of the day for the further consideration of theße port of the Army of Rewrite Bill.' He then moved that the Report might be re coritrititted: 1.4 also moved that' it should 'be an iiistrudion to the Cotur mittee to divide the Bill into two Bills.' It. hail, he said, been foimd impossible to include England as ; Scotland in the same till; it . was therefore prop° to hive it separated.'

In England and Wales, the number w.., • l a eeoP El vdfo l pr y hyue to lalltpt:li t he 40,000 men ; it would appear, he was persuaded, that the quotas were.corred. The quo tas for Scotland were the same, but there had been some objenion to the adoption of this system in that part of the ceuntry e and therefore he should refer them to the principle pf the last Militia A ; how ever, it would be the proper time to state that part of the subjen when the Bill was brought in. Scot land would furnish 6006 men during war, either with reference to the Militia A.,1, or the principle in the present instance. The next material part of the Bill was, the clause containing the exemptions. Another alteration hadlietu adopted. The Bill, as originally framed, proceeded on the idea of a Militia ballot, which was to apply to parsons between 18 and 45, because the principle of tlie. Militia system was personal service. It would be for the Com mittee to say, whether they ought not only to.look to the personal service of persons between ta and 45, but of persons above 45 years of age ; and that 'lf any such persons were drawn they should be called upon for substitutes. It was proposed, that all persons from 16 to 45, of a proper height, name ly, 5 feet two Inches, should serve personally or by substitute, and that persons, from 45 to 60, should, if drawn, be obliged to find substitutes. But, in framing this clause, regard was to be bad to pro perty, and therefore he intended to propose, that every person above 45, whose assessed taxes amount ed to SO 1. a-year, should be obliged to find' a sub stitute. The Deputy. Lord Lieutenants might be called upon to amend the existing lists, by inserting all persons who were not exempted, and by in. serting those who came into a .parish, and those who left it. He came next to the exemptions, the outline of which was nearly the same as that which was arranged when the Supplementary Militia was raised. He should propose to take .the day in which the Bill was brought in, as the date beyond whith the exemption should not extend to articled clerks, teachers in holy orders, and persons in volunteer corps. With resped to teachers of congregations he had reason to believe, that frauds had been prec tised in the mode by which they had obtained ex emption ; he had; therefore, altered some of tile clauses by which he trusted frauds would. be :11 fu- • cure prevented. It would stand, that teachers of congregations in holy orders, or not is holy or !ers, should not be exempted, unless they had bee t lie tensed twelve months before the 29.c1 June. Hes text came to the volunteer corps. He proposed th ex emption of the yeomanry and volunteer corps thus fir—that it should extend to those whose services had been accepted before the day the Bill had Lee brought in, and also that it should extend to those Whose services were co-extensive with the present 'system, and, with respell to England and Scotland, those who served in garrison. It was evident, that tondon, Edinborough, Bristol, Leeds, and in tact *lithe great towns in the kingdoin, must be guard ed. If; therefore, volunteer corps were willing to guard such towns, that service would be quite suffi cient. Having stated all that was necessary with regard to corps, he should next proceed to refer to the services of iedividoals ; he should propose that no person should be exempted, unless he had bee enrolled before the 224 June ; however, if they ap peared at roll and mutter a certain number of times, then he proposed the exemption should not be taken :sway. In the late war five days service in the yeer had been sufficient ; but he should now propose mu days in a month, or service for a certain number of successive days, eq.ual.to two days a month. With regard te.sulestitutes, the Bill,*as originally drawn, prescribid that no substitute shoUld be taken who had more than three children.; by the Supple mentary Militia Aft there had been no limita tion. He wished to propose, that the families of non-commissioned officers and soldiers, shOald be provided for by the parish, and, that the parish should be reimbursed upon the order of two magis trates, by the Receiver-General of the county. He ,•shp_4 l 4 bone, that, by adopting the :regulations of a 'Bill that had lately received the Royal Assent, to 'check improper expenditure. The next clause was in page 9, which he should.strike oat, and supply-by ;another. It was the clause that applied to persons . Dot se r ving or finding substitutes. The Committee would recolleft, that, in the Militia system, persons itOt serving or, Ontling substitutes were liable to a fine ; that fine was .101. but, by the Supplementary Militia.A6t, it was.lsl. It was proposed to apply she same principle to this Aft, but operating chtf.:- ~Ogitlx upon persons whom property was different. He contended that persons between. sixteen and for tyefive shouldpay a tine of *AL :which sum was to go the parish which was, at -20.)srlate, to find the stu9ta. and whatever surplus.remeined should be re tained by the parish in aid of the types'. rates. Every person liable to serve should pay a-fine of 201. but, ~ with repel to persons who paid a year asses sed. taxes,he meant that they should pay in propoi tiou till thq fine amounted to 1001. which was not to be exceeded ; but this addition. was .not to be paid to the parish, but to the Receiver-General, and by bins to he carried to the Paymaster. There were other clauses, which were very similar to those in , troduced.in the Supplementary Militia Ad, for the purpose al eneouraging the raising volunteers. He observed, • that this Bill, whether it was more or less .44491 d, .must depend upon the exer , tioas the gentlemen - themselves. -If they Se the tees at. work With energy and spirit, he , e ,wtee persuaded -a very sbee period would ,sot .elapes without the full number of men being rat... that were necessary to the'Alifence of she country. next tothatp c a e rt of a of th vl e o ü ß n ill teer should 6 = d paid to those who served for themselves ;„he mean t eliedtat came half the price e Bill, and point nut the matesjal , Oieci fo recorninend... kip sllould )egin wi th the clansirty.4 Pre. be failind by the different con , he ibciuld come to i the:placa necessary to divide the.

Printed for Brooke and Clarke, Bell-Yard, Temple-Bar ; W. Clarke and Sons, Portugal-street; and R. E. Mercier, Deb lin : and sold by the principal Booksellers in the United King dom. In confiumity with the wishes of a great number of the Pur 'chasers of the Chancery Reports, and for the purpose of ex tending the utility of this Work, it will in future be published as above anneueeed, in a reduced form, in Numbers and Parts of Volumes, as often as occasion may require, and as siwedily as possible, consistent with the extent of the business of the Court ; and at the came time a proportionate reduction of p►ice will t tke place to the Purchaser. The ensiling Volumes will consist of three or four Numbers each, and will form a regular series in continuation to the Re ports of the former period, published by the same Author, ori ginally in six veurnes, folio. In adopting this alteration in the mode of publishing th e Chancery Reports originally in a reduced form, it has bwn tholight necessary to avoid 'the inconvenience experienced is other instances from the use of too small a character for the Marginal Abstracts and References; which accordingly, as well r, the Text, will be found to be executed, with regard to neatness and perspicuity, in a manner superior to the ordinary execution of IVorks of a similar nature. 0 1 iM .0 i I dil i , I ~
