He moved as as amendment, that the Report ou the Bill be taken into cotwideratins this day six month+. /Gel. Stomata said, the principle afire Bill most be -teltprchial In every country where. property is respecurd , --. The principle was this•-•that where a man has property he abash! have power and control over it. The Game Laws, be said, am they now stood, were perfectly nugatory; they Owe t. persons warranted to kill game, p o wers which no -man had a right to pawns; they gave he person to War. wastrel the power of geeing inks a gentleman's plantations and lleStellying his game ; they gave that power for snare— d the offence be repeated, then the person is liable to be punished But fur what?—Not fur killing game, but for trespassing. Nor was it, be said, a trifling injury to Ilse same of a gentleman, tbat adventurers bad the right of so eweritig on his plantations, even for the first I The Hon. Baronet who last sat down, kite* that a trespass of that kind coined the shouting for the rest oldie PiPolilllll— it 'boob! be recollected, as an intolerable pis ievance, that persons fiesta distant places, a hose names Cannot in 'massy nislaners be learned, arc not contented wills thus urea. yawing as private properly—trespass he would call il, though the law did not—but they also outrage the feelings of the proprietor if he attempted to protect his properly from injury and intrusion. Mr. LO3lO Wint.m.air eiridended that this Dill did nut repeal the Game Laws geuerallv, it oaly went its repeal the mast odious part of their enactment.; fully agreed with the Hon. Baronet that fox -hustling wait a manly recreation, and a good school for ysuasg officucs, and be himself delighted is. it es much as any snot ; but it was an amusement in which. generally speaking, Gentlemen , vuuld early participate.

They lia.l crested crimes and tilled the gaols with criminal., with out diminishing any tiling like the floral evil complained of. Within the last few 7,ear: the number of persons elittlMilleel to the Deana fur poaching, had in. creased from thri e or fr.ue to eighty us. the average. The evil was, Ho erfore, gamily augmentiog, awl it would appear there was an adequate remedy. In the old law, deer. swami: hail bees consiikted aerotiling to the prin. eiple of the Game Laws—hilt front the moment that deer had been anode paivale property, and their sate legidnicd, the crime of deer-sterling hail rapidly declined. soil iso such crime ronlil, lie said, he now known in Englar.d k•or way way of amending the present sweet* the liw resort , Mg game, was to assimilate the prarll tee to the anaemia...id of the deer-stealing law, and then to make the penally viniform •n , l complete. The present Game Laws opinion, nugatory, said io opposition to the ge. Loral io society. Mr. G. BAVIIIM strongly opposed the Hill. He objected is it, tette, nu account of its hardships : sold, 2,1 y, because he thoricht that iu legalising the sale Of game in the man ner proposed, the evil which the Bill was intended to re move would lie rather aggravated, for the effect would be ill ellrl/11Gter rather than to prevent the crime of leetehing.

Mr Witcseneottcv. plimented his young Honourable Friend WI the taleot and energy he bed ',seven on the pre vent occ.e though lie fi It himself bound ld say, he shou ld 11 Ice preferred to have heard those Weals employed on any other subject. Hi a 110 11111 l table Friend must have forgot ten the existing slate of society, fur lie ought to have known that there was a very great body of the politic who must have game at their tables—whose view of hospitality, and compliment to guests, imposed this necessity - upon them. This being the case, the question was how sods a demand could be etipplied! Sn pplis it some way it must he, and the feel questims was, whether it shout.' he, hid by the regida tions of a Hill like the present, or by the tacit encourage ment of what was admitted to be is go at crime.—( Hear, her!r —WII.II IN. Franklin saw sugar at table, durtsig the full sway of the horrible practice of the slave trade, he said he almost shrunk Gum lasting it, on ace uont of the lima - able which its cultivation kit ; so, in looking at game now on a fashionable table ' it was impossible to taste it without feeling that as the law now *timid such • luxury was °Waitron', to many iunances, by a disreearil of all moral feeliesc—(ffeur, heor.)—lle was sure that in the present nil. solaced state of moral and social feeling, the old Game Laws could nut lie maintained; they mast give way to a more tn.Hlifi.d system of legislation as affecting this practice. Those laws Must, in fact, be put an end to, and the real question was, in what manner ! He thought the present Bill would have a tendency to ameliorate 11w evil, and there. for , it should have his support. In voting fur it, be gin cerely and cordially thanked the Honourable Member (sir. Brand) fur its introduction. The flutes-tits of the public, the religion, and humanity of the people called fur such a necessity. Mr. ll6sßv BALI IL ES, in reply to the observations of his Hon. Friend who spoke last, denied that the effect of this Bill would be to remove the evil. The Roman law was foundation of the general law of Europe, and it certainly cotsferted no such privilege as the present Bill was intended Is. Cl/11fre The effect of granting licenses fur the sale of game, would be to legalise poachers—it would increase that offence tel told—it would further tend to destroy game in such a matters as to prevent eta reproduction fur those who were really the cousunors. 'File effect would then be 11141 i re r unt ‘ra. • there would be no game, but a legalized class of poachers would present a formidable existence, whose halals would at mice direct them to other acts of ewes . 1 , 11111 upon the property of the public. Ile thought a quali fication tif emir description (he dill not surge to say that re. "sired by the roosting law was the best) sees a must wise provision. The Bill, in his opinion, went ors a principle totally wrong; and hw all the erasion be bad meutiumed, he should oppose th e maim,. Sir Juits SIMIUGOIT explained. Several Members then stood up to address the Chair at once, considerable confusion prevailed fur some minutes, stud a cry of " The new Mealier" was heard. Mr.:set - akin said, he rather believed au Hon.

Mr. NARRYAZT Then spoke en the questiuu, but we regret to say was wholly inaudible in the gallery, from the noise in the House. A Member, whose name we could not !taro. said, that whatever might he the result of the motion or the fate of the Bill, the shanks of the country were sine to the Hon. nentlerami (Mr. Braid) fir the independent Manner, and the indefatigable seal with whirl. he had come forward to expose a system pregnant with danger to the Constitution, and with the Bettis of vice, the fenits of which crew op with all the limuliauce of the se nrc•2 from whence they were derived. Another Member, of whose name we were ignorant, said, the Bill was any thing but a Caine Bill, or if it was to he so called, it wa■ to make game of the Constiiiition.—(.4 forgh.)---It was 00i a moral Bill ; it had a most dangerous tendency by putting arms into the hands of every mass in the country, from one end of it to the other. It' carried it WOlllll augment hla Majesty's forces to the extent of ?.0.000 mess.—(l lanais )—Such a measure was to be looked at with great caution 41141 jealousy. A new Member said, the Bill seemed to he directed against a system of law, whirls had nothing in it but oppres sion of the poor for the convenience or the iieh•-w. Haul — which, for the benefit of the great landed proprietors, ex cluded all persons or moderate property fr a share in the game. He was surprises) that a hotly of laws so hostile to the mild and equal principles of the British Constitut l bad heels suffered to remelts in existence to the present day )—One must material clause of the Bill, however, •that whirl, Welts to lecslise the sale of game, be could lint assent to ; lie thought its effect would be to destroy the gum•.

The princ•ple sit the Bill wait most excellent. Ile Unit it• to he this—that it de shoved the tralifiestion, asset made game proloatv—that it enabled every penprietire of Pawl to secure the right of it to himself. A mall 11141 rented WO acresonot paid l,nonf• year to his landlord, was, by The prevail law, liable to every species of depredation fr 1111 l game, awl in quest of guar, and could toot destroy it himself if he wanted a qoatifl cation. He could not believe that the sale of any adiele would have the t fleet of diminishang the quantity of it. He did sot see that the sale of horses or cows produred that eunsequence—on the contrary,i lie wan of opinion, that reit. Jeriud the sale of game legal, would cause au increase to meet the hicressed demand. ►f this Bill slr,ulJ pans info a law, liis choir alma was, that in the course of time the mass of the people would reno u nce the opinion they minted:day sl of the seventy and oppression of the Game laws—and that they would learn to respect properly iii Alderman IiEVGATE Milli, it was pretended that this Bill tended to Mercator, rather than thmisiith gains.. a proposi t• 6lsich he cook! not assent to, hi cause the (lull welit to increase the Humber of destroyers..

Mr. H. SUMMER could not agree with the reasoning of the Hots. and Learned Gentlemaii opposite (Mr, Searldt) u to the Oh ct which woold be produced on the minds of the people by the Bill. The persons who slid not respect the ',roiled, in game at present slid slot respect any other hood of property ; mid ill the discharge of his duties, as a Magill. tale, lie had invariably traced robbers of hess.rionsh: sad gardens to poachinc.—(flessr.)--In point of fart, those who now viulatsil the law cousislered assist as msoris proprrly as as any thing else, but the invasion of it told out a pleasant which that of ally other did not. Mr. BRAND replied. Hi► principle object was not as a ll the preservatiou of the game, but the preservations of the morals of the lower orders, solicit had been go aslually break. ing down under the finance law.

Member, yet he would willingly grout to the Roman Catholics every assistatice in the assertion of their rights; but hr could not countenative a motion like the present, whirl. %sea to open all the Corporations in Ireland to Homan Catholics, abrogate the by-laws, and render it ir.,peraiive on the corporate body to admit them to the tie glom of the Corporation. Mr. MARTIN contended that the notice was similar to what was usually given. Mr. BLAKE said he had no it,tention whatever of subverting the original Constitution of the country —his only wish was to preserve il, and to secure to Roman Catholic tradespeople the rights they were already allowed to po►sess by the laws of Ireland. Sir .1. STEWART remarked, that if the rights now existed by 14w, the present Bill of the lion. Member was wholly unnecessary. He complained that the notice wes not sufficiently explicit, and suggested the propriety of the Hon. Member's withdrawing his motion. Mr. BLARE repeated, that his object was merely to ph:l.st. Boman Catholic tradespeople in corporate in Ireland on an equality with the Proles.. tams. %Vitt, regard to the notice, it referred to ihr Act of the 331t1 of the Kii4, chat). 21, which was the Act that removed the disabilities from the Roman Catholics, and rendered them eligible to 'dares in Corporations.
