In the cause of Enema, Plaintiff in error, v. Crau lard and others, Defendants in error; Mr. EP SI: INE was heard at the Bar of the House, as Counsel tor the Plaintiff in error; and Mr. Ginss in reply, on the part of the Defendants. After which the LORD CHANCELLOR, in a speech of up wards of two hours length, went through the whole of the case, and concluded, by informing their Lord ships, that he would have them furnished with co pies of the various questions which had occurred to him upon the case, and his observations the: eon, for their consideration, previnus to their Lordships pm , nouncing their final judgment. The Earl of LIMERICK then rose, and ad verting to a Morning 1-sper stated, that a mis representation had been made of his speech upon the Petition of Mr. Justice Fox. He had been made to say, in the Paper alluded to, that the learned Judge could justify his condal. Hr de nied having said so; on the contrary, he afros ad, that if that Gentleman's concludt was one fourth part as bad as had been represented in the Petition presented to that House, by the Noble Marquis opposite to him, he should not be suffered to retain Isis situation on the j , tdici.sl se-at cue mo ment. He did not mean to bring the Publisher of the Paper alluded to before their Lordships; if that had been, his intention, he would have proceeded to prove who the Publisher was; he only mentioned the business, as a caution to the persons who report ed the proceedings of that House, not to misrepre sent any thing that might take place in that House. The Marquis of ABERCORN said, be had this day come from the country, purposely on this busi ness. When he presented the Petition of Mr. Hart against Mr. Justice Fox, he totally negleelNl to move, that the Learned Judge should be furnished with a copy of it. It was mere inadvertence on his part, as it seas certainly his original intention dist it should have been dome. He had several other Petitions in his posses,ion, on this stihjea, and he would trespass on their Lordships time, a few mo ments, in addressing them on Wednesday next. As he had very little to say, he should not move to sum. mon the Lords. The House then adjourned to Mond.ty. HOUSE OF e',IIMONS. Sir JOHN NEWPORT gave notice, that early in the next Session of Parliament, lie would bring for ward a motion, the ohjed of which would be the Aas for regulating tEe Trials of Eleetions in Ireland. Several papers from the East India Company, relating to the Mahratta war, were presented at the Bar of the House. A person from the Office of the Chief Secretary in Ireland presented accounts re.peaing officets on haif-p4y in Ireland. A Mefsage from the Lords informed the House, that they had agreed to the Irish Linen Duty Ex emption Bill, and the:Aylesbury Merton Bribery Bill. Mr. Cacti. presented a Petition from certAin freeholders of I,:rncrick, against the Report on the .'urn Trade. Oa the motion of Mr. &saw, the Committee on the Insolvent Debtors Bill was fixed for Tuesday next. list M. %V. Ramer presented a Petition from the ship-owners at Newcastle, against the N'avigation Laws Suspension Bill. The Staines Bridge Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. FOSTER gave notice that on Monday next, he would move tin leave to bring in a Bill for ap pointing Commissioners to inquire into the fees, emoluments, salaries, and other gratuities, of certain officers in Ireland. Sir Cit.taxas BeNBUIT brought op the Report of the Committee on the Corn Laws, which wa, and in which, among other things, it was resolved, that it would be expedient that th e pr ice fixed as the standard for the importation exportation of grain be regulated by th 2 price it bore in the f ur maritime distrilts of England. The Report being agreed to, a Bill was ordered to be brought iu upon the same. The House in a Committee, on the motion of Mr. FOSTalt, came to a resolution for regulating the importation and exportation of grain from Ire land, and the report was ordered to be received on hlcnday. On the motion of Mr. Rosy, the report of the Liverpool East India Prize Goods Bill was or dered to be brought up on Monday. The Order for hearing Counsel on the Report of the Slare Trade Abolition Bill, was, on the motion of Mr. WrGaItRIFORCE. put off till Monday. FINANCES CF IRELAND. Mr. Ass xxxxx a brought up the Report from the CoMmittee of Ways and Menu for raising the Sup ply for Ireland. On the reading of that R eso l u ti on which went to lay a tax on the registry of freeholds; Mr. STEWART opposed it as an unconstitu tional tax. Mr. FOSTER said he wished to correct a mis taken kW, that this tax would tall on those whose freeholds were already registered. by making it ne cessary to register them over again, or every 'car . It meant no such thing. It only went to ena& that whenever any man should In.ive occasion to take in oath relative to his freehold,' that oath should be on stamped PaPer. Mr. JAMES FITZGERALD thought no man, who went to ascertain his right, could objed to pay so small a t4I for doing so, as was now about to be impo.ed. It was only two shillings ; and, as a mat ter of regulation, this duty would serve to afford pro. tisaion and security to the gentlemen of Ireland, against persons fraudulently claiming the right of election. Mr. HUTCHINSON considered the tax because site sum it was calculated to Filo duce was but small. He therefore could sot ob- ject to it Oa the ground 4 its being oppressive. Du: e objected to it on a cause he thought no thrown in the way of themselves of their electL. _ Mr. DAWSON thought the tax - fetter the freedom of eleltion, and prevent frets. holders rom exercising their rights. The free holders in England were not stopped in their way to the hustings, and prevented from voting until it was - ascertained whether they had made their oath on stamped paper. The House would recollea, that the tax would fall on those who were now regi stered freeholders; for, at the end of every eight . years, the freeholds must be registered. Oa the whole, this regulation would deprive the pool mad of his ele'ive franchise, because be was poor $ watt it would give the rich man an undue Mame over ethers. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, he could not see Low the payment of Ts. at the end of eight years, could overate as a hardship on any man. He hoped the measure would be carried, as a regulation highly proper and nece,sary ; as one which would prevent those ire.neese quantities of fiaitious votes wL icL had been, for some years past, created in Ireland, for sinister purposes. The freemen of corporations paid for the registry of their freedom, and why should not the freeholders of counties ? Mr. FOSTP.R observed, that the registry oaths were generally sworn before Magistrate, ; and, ac cording to another Resolution of the Committee, these would be liable to a tax, if a particular Aa did not exempt them. His objed now wa, to Jo away this eaemptior. But when freeholds were registered now, the freeholders generally gave the clerk a sum of money, whatever they pleased. '1 .is money had hitherto come nut of the landlord's pocket; and so would the tax itself. Ile did not at present think he could be justified in withdraw ing this Resolution. But it it was objected to by toe souse, it was then his intention to adopt, is Id of it, an additional Stamp Duty on all leases entered into in Ireland. The Hone then divided. For the ResOution, 119.--Against it, 31. All the other Resolutions were then a;,-reed to ; and Bills ordered to be brought in on The same. "The Irish Regulation Revenue Bill was pu. If till this day sea:tight. Mr. FOSTER waved that there be hid WO II the House an account of the Funded 1)21,t of Ire land, from the rear 1801 to 1801. Mr. FRANCIS said, he wifhed to ash the Right ' Hon. Genth man whether he meant to move foe laying before the House the narnts of ll:use persons' ) in Ireland, in whose hands there remained so great an overplus of the public revenue ? Ile believed, the time must come when it would he necessary to ap ply to Parliament for such powers, to recover thh money. Mr. FOSTER said, he meant to move for a • turn of the precise amount of those balances ; at. then the House would get the nanses of those whose hands they were. The names of all, ezcep those who were now the eristing eollc fors , west already before the House. The Motion was then agreed to. • Mr. FOSTER then moved for an account of :h net payments into the Treasury of Ireland, an , also the balances in the hands of revenue colleaorr receivers generals of the post office, &c. in Ire Line during the s two last years. Ordered. LORD ADVOCATE OF SCOTLAND. Mr. WHITBREAD rose, to bring forward h promised Motion relative to the condo& of tl. Lord Advocate of Scotland : and first moved certain papers presented to Er e House on the •übje. be read (these papers have been already pub/ishe in Tate BRISIsH Paris.) When they were read b the Clerk, Mr. Whitbread began by expressing d sad:ha:ton he felt at seeing in his place the Rigl Hon. Gentleman, agait..: whom he now rose make an accusation. And he trusted that the r. commendation held out by a Right klonourab! Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) on a former day, whe this question had been agitated, wculd no be particulaily attended to: it era:, that ever gentleman would come to the discussion of with his mind totally free from prejudice. I must put in his claim for some share of ti merit; for he could solemnly assure the Hour that he hal no prejudice in his mind. From t first time he had heard of the business, he bad fi some degree of warmth ; but that warmth was II attended with passion ; and, whatever his teelin might be, he would draw no other inference di what the papers before the House should justo The House was not precluded from curling to a decision of right or wrong. But, after reading : paper laid on the Table, the contents of which v.' not denied, it WAS impossible for the House nut come to some decision. It would be impossible to say eye or es, cu the proposition he should I bef o re them. For the sake of justice, which v due to the people of Scotland, and to the chat-a! of the Right Hon. Gentleman, which was invoh in this question, it would be impossible for • House to say that his proposition WAS not eid false or true. The people of Scotland must ettl be sheltered by Parliament from oppression, or tl must know what they are to exped. The a ords of motion with which he meant to conclude wt exaetly these :—" That the conduift cf the Lc Advocate of Scotland, in writing the letter to i Sheriff of the County of Banf, which was :raw fore the . House, was oppressive, illegal, and c trary to his official duty." The powers vested ;a Lord Advocate of Scotland were (trial:lly v great, but not so great as those he bad ascum Granting, however, for a moment, that he was rested with those powers, th•:n he must tend, that although the condud in question mi not be illegal ; yet, it was oppressive, with He to the unfortunate Mclßison, who was the object it.
