The Dover Port Bill WAS read a second time, and ordered to be committed to a Selea Committee. Mr. FRANKLAND, as Chairman of the Yar mouth Committee, reported, that the sitting Mem bers, Messsrs. Flernert and Lushin; . ,eton, were duly eleattd, and that the Petition against them was not frivt,lon. nor ver.ati On the motion of ;ir JOHN NEWPORT, leave I was given to bring in a Bill for the better regula tion of the colleeion of the Duty on Paper and Paper-hangings, in Ireland. Oo the motion of Mr. TIERNEY, it was or dered, ‘. That there b- hid before the House a Monthly Return of Desertions, from the Ist of Ja nuary, ISO 7, to the latest period; also a Return of the Effdlive Strength of the Army, and a Weekly Rertun of the number of Recruits during the -same per.od, distingeishing Ireland from Great Britain." On the motion of Mr. KENRICK. it was or dtrcd, " That there be laid before the House an Acci:unt of tie number of Causes tried by the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, during the last fifteen years." Mr. HOBHOUSE reported the Irish Tobacco and Loau kWh, and they were severally ordtred to vet,/ **Mira ['toe to-nrortovr. Mr. WILLIAM HKKBERT moved, "'That the Proceedings of the Court Martial upon the Trial of Colonel Fenton Cawthorna, as laid before the House on the 8:11 of April, 1796, be ordered to be reprinted for the use of the Members." Mr. Tierney and Mr. Sturges Bourne epposed the motion; Mr. Bankes, General Porter, Mr. Hum, Mr. Simeon, and Mr. C. W. Williams Wynne, supported it. The %PEA KER intimated to the House, that the forom Parliament had thought fit to ground their opinion on the sentence of the Cuurt Martial, as laid before them. The motion was then agreed to. L td FOLKES TONE moved, " That there be laid hefore the House Copies of all Papers shewing in what capacity Wm. Drake served on board the [lova% 11 7 Pliant, and La Pitiatani. from 1778 to 1792, both inelwave."—Ordered. On the motion of Mr. VANSITTART, the House went into a Committee of Supply, in which a long string of resolutions, relative to the usual Annual Grants, were moved and agreed to. The Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GE NERAL, the Report of the Assets Bill was brought up. Col. EYRE warmly opposed the principle cf the Bill ; he thought that it shewed much of the mo dern spirit of innovation ; and that it would in crease the credit nt the landed proprietor, to a very mischievous extent. The commercial man carried on speculations which tended to his own advantage, and the advantage of the public, and was not so likely, therefore, to be injured by this Bill, while it would tend to the ruin of the man of landed pro perty. It had been said, that the honest and con siderate man wield make all his debts burdens up on his estates ; but in his opinion, the honest and considerate man would aft in such a manner as to render this Bill totally unnecessary. Mr. ROSCOE strenunu.ly defended the princi ple of the Bill ; and said, be thought the House were much indebted to the Learned Gentleman who had introduced it. As to its b e ing an inn , ,Vd. lion, he begged to observe, that the effefts of she measure proposed had been experienced every day. as it would do nothing more than make every real estate subject to a debt which every honest man, would wish to see paid ; and wbether it was done by the aft of the testator, or by tlos aa of use law, would make no great difference in regard to the alleged innovation. It was a clime gt the highest magnitude to bequeath an estate to an heir, when a testator knew it to be greatly bur.iened. This, he thought, ought undoubtedly to be prevented by law from occuring. It might happen that a per son of integrity and honesty, intending to mak: !iis estate liable for his debt, might, through negligence or other circumstances, be prevented frarn doing This Bill would, theretare. rend to remedy these evils. Entailed estates were net to he aff•-eted. nor were copyhnld estates. Ile hoped, however. to see this Bill followed by another. to make lanled.pros petty liable for specialty debts. As to this Bill making a change upon the customs of our ancestors 14rttiob ~~::•. Dr, •v r 7 • . ~~~ ?RIC& SIXTIOCP. --nweie -. that was nneengument at all s es it was the very ptr pose for which the House met, to ready the lave in every particular, however long they may haee existed. Mr. SIMEON declared himself in favour of the Bill, sod that he did rot apprehend the evi Mine• quences would result from this mess re, which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was ut opinion would be the case. Col. EYRR explained. Mr. DAVIES GIDDY argued in defence of the Bill. Mr. N. CA LVERT declared, be saw no eufScient ground for this innovation in the law ; sordid . e Inow, nor bad he ever heard of any instances cf landed proprietors availing themselves of the le as it now stood, in order to cheat their creditors. He was unwillieg, without a clear cese of neorsity being made net, to remove the old legal land :lurks of the Constitution.' Mr. A. MARTIN asstieed the last Hon. Gene. that instance, had OCCtITSCJ, which pointed oat the necessity of remedying the law, as it now sexed. He particularly instanced the case of a person, a consi derable land-owner, who had a number of natusal children, for whnm he wished to provide, who had made over his real estates to trostees, and to divie4 the produce amongst the children. The surrvieg trustee had sold the whole of the landed estate, ate perchased others, without charging them with any provision for these children ; in this state he died ; and the family in question were left in a slate of Ah.. jea poverty. There were other instances el as crying a nature. The Fermat measure was not an attempt to get rid of any legal insv'ution, hut rather to afford a remedy for an existing defeCt. In various former instances, the of deft of the legislature had been to make the landed estates mere available se curities for the payment of debts. , Mr. N. CA I.VER I' spoke in explanation, 1' - The SOLICITOR GENET AL said, he did teereft - • evi.,ti to provoke a debate, in the present stage of the Bill; at the same time, he could not but feel surprised at the consequences imputed to this mesa sure, the objea of which was t e compel justice to be done, by ‘bliging the rich debtor to pay the poor creditor. He denied that this Bill would have any , injurious effeCt upon the Aristocracy ; for co repro. sentative of an ancient family could be supeosed to d.e without leaving assets surncient to ply jib debts. No innovation was hereby intended Did the friends of the Aristocracy mean to insinuate, that the tended proprietors alone shreld nor pay their debts ? And was there not Ai powerful an Asiato eracy in Scotland, although the irglish law oa this subjeCt, had ne place ? Ibis Bill would aot af ford to the yonng man in expeetations of landed property, the mrane of galling greater coed t ; for such were, at present. obliged to give various seen. Cities of bonds, annuities, warraout to cenfees jellge *lent, See. and theirs were not fimplycoarratieierde. He declared, he knew various instances et leaned proprietors availing themselves of the law. as it • w stood, to cheat their creditors. He knew the ow er of an -state worth 4,0001. a year, whose predecessot's funeral expenses and apothecary's bill re-n since ur - paid. Another, who left debts to the amount of 40,0001. and not above 2i. fJ. in the pound paid', Although the successor to the estate cause into pot session of 40001. a year. There were many small traders, who had been naabte to pay their own debts, and same had been thrown into prison oa that account, because they could not compel Faye ment of deelete, due to them by landed proprietors. The question was then put, when the Reoort of the Bill was received without a division, which was ordered to be received on Wednesday next. The names of the defaulters upon the calling over of the /louse upon the Taunton Eleetion Pe tition were read ; add Lord Howick was excused on account of a domestic calamity. _ _ Mr. Secretary Windham was ordered to attend in his place to-morrow. The Royal Marine Mutiny Bill was committed, and the report ordered to be received to-mork.w. The Paddington Canal Coal Bill, and the Dionne Salt Expcnatioa Bill, were read a second time. The other order. of the day were discharged.— Adjourned. TRIAL OF COMWODORE, SIR H. POPHAM. (C ttcluJetl from yorerday's Paper.) FOURTH DAY. PORTSMOUTH, TUZSO•Y, 'PARCH 10, 1907.

You have also asked of the Witnesses a number of questions, which were alto wholly ir- relevant, and not at all appl:cahle to the questiots.
