Mr. CURRY called to the recolleflion of House, thaV the. objet of the present Bill was to continue die collect ion of the Irish Revenue nearly upon its present footing. It contained a clause for rendering the provisions of the Bill subjesl to repeal or alteration in the course of the ;resent Session ; and as he understood, from private communication, . that there were persons in Ireland who wished for some alteration, he would apprise the Gentlemen not intimately connefted u ith that part of the United Kingdom, that they were not precluded by the pre sent measure from proposing whatever they might think proper, and that it was his intention to move* for a subsequent Bill, which he hoped would com prise every accommodation that was consistent with the public interest. The present was merely a Bill. of consolidation. 4 • • The blanks were then filled up, fixing the duration. of the Bill to the eyth of September, 1804, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Sir JAMES .IVIONTGOM.ERY obtained leave of absence for a few weeks, on account of the death ; of a near relation (the late Colonel)... The House vent through a Committee on the.- Expiring Laws Bill, and ordered the report to be re ceived to-morrow. A Committee was appointed to enquire into the estimates of the sum necessary to make a provision aid allowance to Adjutants aid Serjeant-Majors of the Militia in time of peace. • NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. Mr: I. H. BROWNE moved the Order of the Day for taking into consideration, the minutes of the evi dence taken befbre the Committee appointed to try ,the merits of the petition complaining of an undue elation for the city and town of Nottingham ; which• bring agreed to, he moved for the resolutions of the Committee to be read ; which being also complied with ; he said, his preient °bled was to postpone the further consideration of some of the resolutions, for though he was aware of the propriety of admitting as little delays as possible in the next return, yet the subjed was of such importance, as to require the most mature deliberation. It was , not his intention to criminate zny person, nor was the- subjed of cri minality necessarily conneaed with the present ques-. tion. Whether the Mayor of Nottingham, or any of the other Magistrates were culpable, was of distind consideration, and may be made the. s;:bj.ed •of a legal l recess, with which he had - no inteutign of in terfering at present. The Clerk then r:..ad the resolutions, the first of which stated, that 'during the late eleCtion, the town of Nottingham had been for 'five days scene of turbulence and riot, destrudive to the freedom of election. On the Motion of Mr. BROWNE the House agreed to the resolution. The next resolution was, that John Davison, Esq. the Mayor of Nottingham, neglected to make use of the most effedual means.to preserve the freedom of eledion. Mr, FOX said, he did not rise to objet to this motion, though he did not altogether approve of it. lie believed, t to be true that great riots and out rages took place at Nottingham, but he could not see that the Mayor and Magistrates were therefore to be censured. This resolution was so worded as not to exculpate any of them ; and he wished it to be understood, that in acceeding to the resolution lie did it on the conviction that they were not to blame. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. BROWNE then proposed, that as the other resolutions were not immediately conneded with his object, he should move to have them postponed; and the more so, as what they contained Werelikelv to be made a matter of ciiniinal prosecution, He said that he .had no personal conneEtion whatever wits any of the parties, and knew no more of-the stances than what trait:Tired in the Committee, of which he had the honour of being appointed Chairman. It was in compliance with the instructions of that Committee, that he had to make the present proposal. Though he did not now intend to 'criminate aay person, he felt that the conduit of the .Mayor cf Nottingham was not to be passed over but, on the contrary, required serious consideration. It was evident, that some regulations were necessary for the futnre government and good of that place, and the more.: a, as the disturbances and riots complained of -- - ' were not peculiar.to the last, but common to all the de/lions A Nottingh.un. The outrages and turbu lences were •so . flagrant that the peaceable tants . were "fir.frOr4 Axing saNin . their persons or property. •The tirtuhittee therefore authorized hint *to pronose the;s4pensioO of the 4pe4ces. writ till some 13i11 'was agreed to for. the ,fooli ~b;ttezcrpment of the police . ..of NOitingham. - The .objefft .of the. •Bill was tlit?lesi liable to. objection, as it (ha not tend disfrat4ise ifke corporation, or to criminate or pustish any person. It no more disfranchised the ,Mayor and .Aldermen. than. the Bill which alte r ed and regulated the,police of. , Westminster could be considered as art . encroachment on 'the lights and .po*ers of the magistracy of Middlesex. The Mayor and Aldermen Alight •be perfectly innocent of a ny ,Hence, and yet it ,conia7 tlcthotight•the less neces, sary to proiide. Ter. the "peace and security of the town ancisountip(*ttingearu...

He :then melted for leave to bring.in a Big fcit,ipore, .eiresTna:lly preserving the peace, and securing. the freedeM of eletliou in the town and,cotintY:br,the town, of Niatinghim. Mr. PIERREi".OiNT seconded the motion. He said, tlukt ever since,helad - thehonour of a seat in that, ouse, he scarceli Verpres4med 40 intrude any opinions on it, and it-was..*th e:areme repug nance that, he offered himself at present. He had been called upon to gc), doina tb Nottingham during the late eledtion, and Witoeised such scenes of licen tiousness,.outraga, and violesFe, .as were destruaive of the must valuablEpriiileges of the town, and must be a diskrace to ahy civiliaufil country. He knew, that if the Magistrates did not.forward the disor ders, they at least sat as silent. speitators of them. He supportocithe Bill, therefore, as he con sidered some effeclual regulations necessary. Mr. FOX hoped that the House would not be determined in their decision by long assertions, though. coming from holveveirespeaable a quarter. If the assertions made by the last Honourable Gen tleman, were true, it' must• necessarily follow, that the Committee had not discharged its duty, as they ought to have - reported : that the Magistrates were culpable. All that he knew of the subjeft was from a cursory inspealon - of the minutes of the pro ceedings ; and upon:that Uuthority he must say, that the conduit of the Mayor:of Nottingham wisrmuch more deserving of thins than of censure. Gentle men should recolle, that-we still had laws existing -in the country., and - that awes by them expressly pro. Tided, that at the time ael.popular elections for the na tional .representation, military should. not only abstain from visiting the place of elation, but should also be: kept at a distance -from it. He had only a • very slight.personol %knowledge of or.e 'of the par ties, but it - appeared to hies from the r ep ort , t h at the Mayor and Aldermen had regaxded no measures • proposed t them for the repression of disturbacces. l'he Mayor ;however .bad refused to let the elceters be brought up . to the hustings, under the pro teCtion of the soldiers, and had he done other ivise, he then would have been• really guilty of a criminal offence against the privileges of that House; and be deservingof an eieniplary punishment. It was stated, 'and he understood Very trtily, that Nottingham had always, as well as dying the last .eleition, heed the scene of riot and disturbance; but it was remarkable, - and well worthy of notice, that the rioters were uniformly in support of partiei to whose. interest the Magistrates were supposed to be adverse, and therefore not liable to the. suspicion of encouraging or abetting such disturbances. The grievance was such as to require a remedy, but he could not see that this Bill would • supply it; and it should not escape notice, that though it avoided direetly criminating the Magistrates, it had at least the aspea, and seemed- to imply a censure on the Magistrates. The true made of proceeding would be to enquire if they had Suffered the riots to proceed fromneglka of duty, or want of means to repress them. - As to extending the privilege of acting to county Magistrates, it would - be at least doubttut.whether any good could result from it, as they might be as powerless for that purpose as those who were already in office. He recolleEted that the House bad re course to remedial Bills . to -secure the- freedom of eleEtion in Norwich,and some other places, bat had not made it a part of their Tan to disfranchise the Magistrates. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Browne) . had contended that thi sz easy ere, instead of disfranchi sing, would only restore the Mtyor and Aldermen to the same situation in which - they were before; but it was the first time he ever heard of restoring a charter *by: taking it away.. The 'Magistrates did not refuse to appoint constables proposed by any of the parties ; and had even consulted Mr. Coke's Committee on the best means of preserving good order; but they very properly declined the assistance of the military, except at the hours after the day's poll was closed. An 'Honourable Member, highly distinguiefied for his eloquence, once said, that he did not 'like the etc:dom-for Brussels to be concluded in the Ito; low"sqZiary Of the French army; neither could be approve of an eleltion at Notting ham; to take place under the cor.troul of Power ; justice shOuld lie "clone to the condua of - the Comruitte oa one side,..as well as the other. Ike admittedewith them, t h m some remedy should be provided- egainit the grievances complained *of, and he hid din:fete a right - to concluth, that if they !lad discovered abuses or culpability on the part of t!:e Magistrates, they would have repo.ted them ac cordingly • Mr. BOND considered it as unnec issary on this occasion to aliiicess the condua of th Magistrates ; which had betoer be reserved ler future considere tion. AN hen the subjefk should cme regular 4 to ! the Hotter, it would be seen drat the Committee done its duty. :The Question sow was, whether there was any ground for'bringing in the Bill pro posed ? It was manifest, that in the tiwn of plot- tingham the freedom of elation had trees} gressly violated, and that the lelngisirates, from ~ vtatever causes phey may arise, 41 not inter . pose 9ny effec, r ~' .7
