werreclieb Act thrice enieted. .in Do 'ease was there on attempt to redeems those promises. He did nut sc rum Ministers with producing the famine now raging Ireland;ls ho could not even blame them for not emmeipatiog the Catholics sod commuting the tithes, though they ought to hove dose both; but. he did quarrel with them for sot examining into the stale of reland. He admitted that to more the evils of centuries o f attisgoirern meet was an heresiesn task; but after the promise ender in the King's Speech, be bad thought that inquiry could not be withheld. In what part of England would Ministers dare to apply the latturrection Act as a measure of relief to great motional calsesity He was disposed to think highty a the taleuts of Marqois Wellesley; but he most judge him ILI all other Ministers—by his aorta. It was his duty to be jealous constantly of all public meta. He admitted the haos nf the window tax, and the great and grommets effort made by this country for Ireland. He did not wish to unburden the obligation-I\ol4h he most declare that the Irish were nut to be looked on as mendicants bruin alms. It was the duty of Parliameat to vote them as mach as Was Detwesary for staying the grievous horrors of their limiter. 'those evils were mot yet stationary, more must be done, nod by other means than by this Brit. Traosportai foie and death were sot proofs of a stream Government—they were only miserable expedited', which proved the absence of all Government. IThat he dreaded most among the effects 'of this Bill, was the insults to which females world be ex. posed. Irish cabins consisted of two, sometimes of one room, where the whole family slept, though with the most respectful observance of &Tetley. He had sees on some occasions the women turned out of their beds, under this Act, by the soldiery, io a stste of otter nudity, aid subjected to all kinds of insult, while they were searching for their prisoners. He bad repeatedly urged the necessity for inquiry, ' nod the inadequacy of these coercive projects fur healing the sufferings of Ireland, sod Amlshed by declaring his dissent to the Bill. Mr. MONCE saw nothing in the Bill which west to the root of the evils-swhiela he believed were sot in the taxes, sot in the tithes, but io the very redundant population, and the very low condition of Life—laying Somewhat about half-say between savage sod civilised life. He felt sure that while the people of Ireland were coolest to live upon potatoes, and continue existence on the worst possible con ditions, their cave must be what the Baronet who repremots Westminster described it, a moral pestilence. He thought that the lasdlorde alone could wink a change by givisrup a part of their rents, on conditios that the tenants should take up a more respectable mode of living, and so inculcate in them a taste fur the dceest comforts of existence. It was mot for want of meat' that thew calamities came. The wealth of Ireland bad been quadrupled within 30 years. Ile did nut approve of the poor laws being planted there. They would carry down the other clarets to the same levee, oithost alstiog the misery. Colonel TRENCH was sorry to agree with the Hon. fitotlemars. There could be no solid benefit derived but from the landlords, who mast free their tenants from the oppressioss of intermediate agents, and watch over them with more of paternal corm He was glad of the advance which bad been made towards a comototatlon of tithes. They must also adopt some plau for edectting the poor, and reducing the number of absentees, by instituting them in the Magistracy. He denied that they were moth for that trust, or that the IAA* peasantry were unfit for eivilisation. There was • keenness of intelligence about the low Irish— an Athenian quirkners in the perception of all subjects which few English Gentlemen could comprehend. He gave great coedit to the efforts of the Hibernian Society is 'their endeavours to teach sod improve them. He pointed out the evils of the Excise Lairs, which were so construct ed as to snake it • glory sod emulation moat armies of young men to oppose the execution of them with destructive Molest,. He recommended the licensing of small stills, which would do away this mil, and ba se"( the reverter. He approved of this and all the other nee armee which bad been taken to restore tranquillity. Mr. WILBERFORCE expatiated on the difficulties of leading the Irish into the way of civilisation, and recoils- Wended Irish Members to be coustast and perneverieg is their duties toward* their constituents. Mr..IIIARTIN (Galway) observed, that although it bad bees said that if the Goveremest of Ireland sou rot foiled is its Best messares, all wo•W be well, lb* tbees Seat mea sures that were proposed by that Goveromedt,vis.tholYtisei Lasing Bill, the blob Coostsbles Bill, and the losurreetioa Ad, bad met with the milt decided oppoollioa from Otis abates os the opposite side of the House. He then pro ceeded to comment on an amendment that hod been moved In the Coolishles Bill, to exclude the appointimest of salary paid Magistrates, sod was couleut that to the peewit elate of the magistracy there, it was is tail for a poor mac to apply to a Magistrate for redress, if aggrieved by a rich man; sad that the salary paid Magistrates would always be found the friend of the poor, when The Marquis of LONDONDERRY reminded the Hon. Member that he was wandering from the question. Mr. MARTIN said, be was sorry if he had deported from lime point of the discussioo, and is so doing, perhaps, he had "shot his arrow u'er the house top, and wousiled his friend." la the present circumstances of time coualey• maw, if brought to trial before a register tribunal, most he tried either by a Ivry of sufferers, or'hy • Jury of partisass • and be would submit it to nay Gentleman from Irelan d whether a maw chirped with au offence against this Aft woeld tot prefer Wing tiled by a Learned Sequin( sad • Seeds of JKwgt strafes to being tried by a jury of the vicinity. The laser. reeling' Act would remove all the impediments to the mom of justice which the present state of the country isteepuell, sad be therefore gave it his support. alr, W. SMITH considered this Act, upos the whole, to be is practice ain ofinercy. He concerted is opiates that thespiritof distort:suet in Ireland night tube pot down; and he should most readily concur in arming the Govern- Mcat with extraordinary powers for that pupal., if he could forgot the most abominable manner is which those 'coulees were exercised on a former occasion, and shot the abuses sad myocisies the. committed had been sheltered by an Is. duskily Act, which it was a shame fur the Goverssnest to hare sailed and for the Porliameot to have passed. Ha was, burner, the farthest man in the world from attribution to the persons at presto. charged with the Government of lied the slightest diapositioa to abase the.. powers. He gave them credit fur the best views sad the pares* intentions, sad he frosted they would not stretch the power with which this Act wrested them, beyond thelinsits contemplated by Parliament: He believed that so good was to be bawdy done towards the inprovemest of Irelasd, after the loon course of misgovern. ' meat which it bed experienced on the ooe bard, and the mi.- moduefarislng out of that misgovernment on the other. He looked manly to the effects of the diffusion of knowledge ty mesas of an improved and extended eyelets of eduatioa for the amelioratiois of the habits and cwodition of the peo ple; sad if Afiy years hence the cousin , should have made ea approach to that state in which it was desirable that it itiostd be placed, be feared it was as much as could be loped fur. Great talents, great wit, and a variety of good qualities, he obis breed attributed to the people of Ireland, tad, he believed, not without tempo* ; but be lamented to Iry,sad the fault was in the system ofGuv. rumens which had se lambus pursued lo that country; they seemed to possess sill) large porous of the virtues, a large shares of the vices also of slave d _ . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said dose lbe presoak !aware was one of those alsieb had bees framed by Parlis atilt fur the express purpose of placing the extraordinary Pwieso which it might be uccasiuiralty weensary to caster oh the ttereinment of Ireland under regulaties.

Mr. D. BROWNE said no mitt was more seniors to pre serve fur Ireland the fell benefit of the English coustitutios, bat he lamented to say that the state of that country at pre seal was itch as to require the application of the powers eriehrred by this Act. He deplored the uofortstiate lion of his eouslry. If he looked at the whole law of be land, be forted It, instead of • law of proteetiou, • aystean of proscription. Ile might perhaps be asked, why then be erinoested to the application of additional measures of severity to the people, who openly resisted such oppressive laws? His answer was, because he wished to p t a re volution, which might separate the two countries; and he called upon the Heall emen o f E ag l an d to assist I. the eudeavuur. Mr. S. RICE said, he should have supposed, from the reasoning of the Nohte Lord, that the pianist of the In. demon, Bill had taken place before the introduction of the lasureertion Act in !reload, bet as far as his memory served him, that Act was first brought In In the year 1796. He . gooeurred with his Honourable Friend (Mr. W. Smith) in reprobation of that Indemnity Bill, and of every proceeding of a similar etneription. Bat he deprecated the isdrodec lion into she detate as matter of reproach, of topics which shosW never he recurred to, except to serves@ a goidaate is the adow.ioo of measures uudersimilareireemstasces. There was a subject intimately connected with the removal of the disterthecer in Ireland—he meaat the reform of the math traey, ',wittier& which he had bear antics with much an:- let, tobear from his Majesty's Goverentent, not only that the matter was wader coosldetatiou, but that • measure which had bees slated to have been two years age nearly matured, was at lasi ready for adoption, and that the reform of the maxis. tracy was about to rake place. Respecting the Act walks , coosideration, be wished to hear the opiaioa of the Right Hoe. the Attorney-General of Ireland, whether, snider the clause of this Act, the county magistrates were empowered to act for the purposes of the Act within the limits of towns sad counties of towns; era if it 'Weld appear that they Were not, he would in the next stage of the Bill move a clause for the appointment of jounces of the peace fur ca roming the provisions of the Act within their Willis. ' Mr. W. SMITH explained that the Act of Indemnity, to which he bad alluded, was tut as Act of the Irish Par. liseseet, but the Act, cap. 103 or 4, passed is the year 1801, Is the English Parliameat, of which be still thought as be bad before expressed himself. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY explained, that he bad lakes the Honourable Member to hare spokes of the Act of the Irish Parliament. General HART contended, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had the means ia his power to put dews the dis torbances to looked in • great degree for he maintained the discoateat canoed by the refusal of Catholic Entancipa tits, or even brthritithe system, was uothisg at all to that earned by the distillery laws, to which he had to vain applied his endeavours to procure au amendment, ever glace he bad had the honour of a seat in Parliament. The eyeless of rob bery aad injustice which was carried en in the levyieg of toot hed fees for illicit distillation was oppressive sad levitating is the highest degree. He bad pet raw the baud' of the Commissioners of luquiry late the mode of collecting the revenue in Ireland, a Anemia to guide their iaquiries oe That head, and if they should sot paint let a remedy, be @Weld feel it his duty to move is the one of the next Session for a Committee to inquire bas that particular r. PLUNKETT, in seiner to the garottes of the Hon. Member for Limerick, said he had no doubt whatever that the County Magistrates had the powers lo• bad shaded to, under Ibis Act ; fur the 23J section expressly authorised them to exercise their powers, except is the Coasty of the City of Dublin; arid the next Benicia gave all the powers given to the Magistrates of Counties under ibis Act, to the Magistrates of Cities, and Counties of Cities likewise. Mr. H. G BENNETT said be roold join in the opinlea ' that wheal Perlis/pest was called upon to pen severe laws, it was nut perfectly predeut, and just, sod wise, to direct Its attestioo to what bad formerly bees aloe seder measures of • similar eaters It was sot **say doopseitlea to rekindle asimosities, that Gentlemen on his** oft* House alluded to those *jags, but in order to point Amu out as transactions not to be imitated, but to be avoided; sad *sever could suffer measures of severity to pus will trope* to !reload, without rrealliug the trassactioas of forager periods, to cau tion the House against unnecerritily pentiveriag in • course of severity. The whole Session bad bens passed in one confirmed perpetration of acts of *weeny toe the people of Ireland; and the Legislature bad dime nothing tol remedy any one of their grievances, or to lighten any one of their burdens, with the solitary exception of the remission of the window tea. Mr. GOULBURN said he would tell the Hon. Member fur Sbreisabery (Mr. H. G. Bement) that the Irish Govern. meat called fur this measure to p at that country from being plunged bate a situation similar to that ()Me period to which he had alluded, and to secure it from • recurrence of the atrocities and outrages of every description that marked that period. To have withheld this Act at the compeer,- meet of the Senion would have been to pleuge the country into • slate °rupee rebellion, sad have led idably to the renewal of those horrors whit* the Hon. Member deprecated. It was not to gratify soy bad feeling, but because it was oe. nurary for the safety of the country, that they called for this measure, sod on that ground alone he asked for the votes of Honourable Members in farmer of it, and if granted for that purpose be trusted it would be permanently beeeficial to the gerinry. With respect to the reform of the magistracy of Iceland, 'Waded to by the Hon. Member fur Limerick (111 r. S. Lee), the difficulty of investlvitieg the private chancier of every Fermin proposed fur the office of a magistrate such • manner as to secure • correct report of the qualifies. tines and efficiency of each, which the Lord Chancellor bed been a keg lime employed is tomplatiog, perverted his as. signing the period at which the Govan/man would be pre pared for the genial adoption of • thorough reform of Ms Magislescy. Lord A. HAMILTON professed himself; after hearing what had bees said on both sides, at a lose to decide' whether be ought to agree to the measure as necessary, according to the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Goal. burn), fur the safety of lreleud, or to juin with his Hou. fsieud behind him (Mr. H. G. Bennett) in tallieg to naiad the transactions of former limes, and resisting the Ines. sure with all his might, en the ground of its liability to show. But when he looked runud, nod saw in attendance on this occasion sot • lithe of the Members of that House, nor even • tithe of the Members from Ireland, for he did sot believe there were tea Irish Mea). re present, be could not bring himself to believe that Ireland was in that state of disturbance which wag reported; nor when he recurred to the experieuce of the last 15 years, could be bring himself to believe that ever the Ministers themselves could anticipate, those results from this mr Mille which they professed. After tie expert*** of the pest, befouled the outrages of last year worse than say fanner; and be beard them repeatedly Imputed to the misgovernment of the eoestry. could not bet remember the able, forcible, and states., man-like manner in which hi. Right Honourable Friend near him (Mr. C. Gnat), with his innovate k mewled* of the sub ject, had repeated the history of insornetims after lasor.. reek s ., f u llpired by seventy after erverity ; nee anarld • tic forget his manly cieclaratioe that three wee mat one of those measures which had not been wend by soleriar , "miagvveraoseeil, and followed by fresh nunnery, tims. ik fitund - theis that erectly is proportion as miaow* ed severity had been pursued,* that peopertion limonite** had lactessed ; and be couteuded therefore that this was not Iles * miteille.ter 111~411 3O restore {tad preserre the eft ts& nallesere of the Coostables Bill was Mta - M ieledesseat on earth could . pre vail with him to tioalmed to Introduce into this court -fry, and therefore he reprebaleil its adoption in Ireland. It was an approach to a ponsaneat kasictisin and consolidation of the'civil and military pottier or the country —an attempt to substitute a peedersterie ter the ordinary Men police. Mr. BUTTERWORTH stigignseled the present messier, because he. was smelled it wits as set of Mercy towards the delltded pesmetry of Inlaid. After a rtw words treat *r. S. RICE sad Mr. D. BROWNE, the Bill was mad • third time and pawed. t'ONSULS At THE BRAZILS. On the order of the day brie, read fur the House resolv ing itself late • Cevamittes of Supply-- Mr. HUME said, be had takers the first opportunity of the Supply being emetimied again, to agitate • *Object witch be bad beim& leeward last Session—he mesut the fees takes by she COMAS is lii" Reasils, and this Session be had presented • Petition freed the snerchtnts complain ing of the abase, The Nuble Marquis (I oodonderry) had doubted the statement that be bad made, that the Consul Geaead was le the receipt of 9,0001. or 10,0001. spear t • charge se great de the trade of the- country, that he thought It extraordinary the Noble Marquis' should have seffered ft to ramie so long after he had had hie Mitotics called to it. Bet what be principally complaioed of was, that in Meech 14111, • letter was scut by the Noble Marquis, counternmedieg a former order ; mid-desiring that the Cowed General 'honk' continue to receive the mime emo temente as before. In the last six years, coding 1811), the Coasel-Geeeral al Rie had received no less • anus than 67,6671. and in the ether Colonies so lees • sum was levied thau gommt. as the Res of the other Comets, and in that was locluded so chary for lie Tee-Camels. A Tice- Coeval/41p wee femossifat Le, sod the Tice-Consul charged what he thought proper. As the Americans bed no similar charge to pay, it *permed gofer as a premiere to their trade. The Noble Marquis had stated something about the high price of bread as a reason for continuing the great al luvium:ft to te CossuLGenecal, but in flirt meat was from one penny to three half peace per Ib , sad every other sort of proviaioes as cheap as la this country. The Honour. able Member concluded by moving, as as amendment, the following resolutioa That it appears by returns on the Miele of this House that the sour of 77,6471. has been levied on the British ceseraerce to the Brazils in the six years ending 1320, besides 12.6,71. 131. 4‘ll foe salaries from Rug. laud, making together 903741. 13r. 4d.,0f which the Con•ul- Gear's! had received 17,5791. Se. 9d.; sad it is the opinion of this House that such salaries are extravagant, unneces sary, and might to be reduced." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY that when fin 'object was mentioned before,the wholeof the general question was soder the consideration of his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Board of Trade, Ibis gelation of the Consuls of Stasi! was part of that general question, sod though beicould not moment that the whole helloes' we the country should Mood still till the whole of this complicated business was sr. .:27yet he yes very ready to meet the Hon. Member, 0 116 . Int• it fully; for which perpose, he should propose 41 game that the whole of the correspondence which had tNias place nhowid be laid epos the table. He complained r ie ir: Mho wpirit of exaggeretiou displayed by the Hon. Aids was the more unnecessary, as the facts them selves seem suSciently strong to call for consideration, and alteration. Originally the Commis emoluments were Bud as cabere were, by a salary, and fees of half a per cent. on every British cargo, which arraogismest was made on the representation of the merchants espied In the trade. The Wade afterwards increased so mach that the emoluments became much more considerable than was as first intended, and his Majesty's Government had Ares times restricted the feat of the Consul-General, la order to countervail that great increase of the trade. The prices of provisions were certainly very high them four or five yeses ago, and be (the Marquis of Londonderry) would lay • scale of prices om the table, sod should be glad of the Hoe. Member's aseistetice in poiutlng oat any error. lustroctioas had in the mean till)* been seat out to guard silliest the salaries ding the scale of enioremeitt which woe wigleally intended, and • deelaratio• that Mr. Cheenherleles emoluments, salary In chided, should sot exceed 11,11061. a year. He should feel it his duty to move for the correspoodeeee he had mentioned, and is the mean time he should give • negative to the present proposition, as it was condemnatory la the Mat instance. Mr. BARING eoseeived the amount of fees levied on the trade was an 1111011110 US evil ; he was quite sore, as the Hun. Member fur Aberdeen had slated, that no trade could long be carried co is competition with those who laboured under so such disadvantsge. la the Mediterraman the trade of Lev born and Groom was absolutely driven from mkt port to the other by charges little more than those in question. In old times 1,8001. a. year woo considered en ample and considera ble salary for a Cosset. Knowing the ioconvemieoce to the public busier., at this period of the Session, he could nut agree to the Amendment, but he thought the House was mach obliged to the Hos. limber for bringing the subject forward. Mr. HUME said he was Is pawed, of the ~respired. once, and be did not see that it would afford the Hans. asp additional information. He berried to sale the Noble Lewd when the iastruetiarie w►ich be bad spoke• of were rest out ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY explained. The Hoe. Geodesists bad said that be had rot the correspondence, bet the Hosea bad sot sot it. Hot he (Lord Londonderry) apprehended the Hos. Gentle., bed wily half the posdeore. if he had the correspondence of his (Lord l.bo doederef•a) °lice, be moat be 'Hewed to ark how be became poesessed of it ? My. HUME explained, he had the letters of the mer chants to the Noble Lord, and Ma 1111$11‘1(10. -- - _ The Alameda of LONDONDERRY said he apprehended that it weeld Iss same satisfactory to the House if the cur respondence were laid cm the table. He meant also to give the House the correspondrece with Mr. Chamberlain. In answer to the Hoe. Member's questioo, the order to re strict the salaries was seat out about two months ego. The question was thee put and negatived wit►out a di vision. Mr. H. G. BUNNETT objected to the lateness °fibs , hoer at which the House was called spout to go into a Cosontittati of Supply. Lord PALMERSTON stated that it wu not his initiation to propowt any part of t►e Army Eatraordinarics out bat evening. NEW CHURCH, EDINBURGH. Laid BINNING moved to refer the Petition of the Sub ocribers to the New Church at Edinburgh to the Committee of Supply. Mr. HUME objected to granting 10,00 W. for the purpose erf raising a monument of t►e nature proposed. Si► R. WILSON thought it was Indecent to propose tak ing 10,000/. out of the pockets of the people to build an or namental temple, at a time when the people of the sister commie, were in a state of starvation. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS conside►ed the proposition as one which was very proper to be submitted to the House. Mr. H. GURNET was averse from the grant at Ibis jandsre. Mr. MONCK thought that after the House had granted a million of money for the Caledonian Canal, they ought to be allowed time to recover from that before they were cella upon for soy more. Sir G. CLERK defended the situation of the church, and said that the 1,600 free seats which were intended to be made in it would be t►e greatest accommodation to the poorer inhabitants of Edinburgh.. Mr. H.

Lord DINNING said, if the erection of this church *Auld take • morsel of bread from any of the starring population of Ireland, be should be the last man to the weld io propose it. h was a mistake to suppose that churches were net wanted in Edioburoh. Tea years aim When the census was taken, the itshabiteuth amounted to 104.040. They Were now 140,000, sod olity oar church bad been opened is that lime. Geollenieu oppo site seemed to mistake the nature of the grant, for it *as out for the 'putpose of teeing merely an onsameatal stew. lure, bet a place of public wilily. Sir C. W. WYNN considered that It was perfectly Proper to associate a national soontiment witk public utility, but for the tea thonsaad poundli proposed, ten churches Wight be built which were essentially wanted. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, at there seemed to be sdch • difference of 4apin.on on the sub ject, lie would recommend bis Noble Fi ieud to withdraw 64 motion fur the prevent. Lord SINNING consented to the suggestion, and With drew his proposition. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The Hauge tie;Srmielred itself into a Committee of *apply. Lord PALMERSTON proposed that • sum not exceed- IsR iihniald be granted to defray the expenses of the disembodied militia. Mr. HUME said the militia was kept up in hasda, merely for Musical purposes. He thought sumo satisfactory expla satios was wanting, as to why so many Adjulasb were kept op, and whether On se Jean!. and corporals were effi cient or not. Lord PALMERSTON said it was necessary to keep op • Arleta. staff fur each regimes., sod as the AdJetant was the responsible officer, be, of course, was Indispensable. With regard to the nos-emornissiosed officers, it was Neces sary t h ey sh o uld Ise pernuteently resident at bead quarters, and unless they were ;Snidest *ad efficient, their pay was wlthbeld.—Tbr vote was then agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON uses proposed Mai • man sot exceeding 110,7031 should be grained to defray the expenses of the disembodied militia la Ireland. Mr. SPRING RICE begged to remind the Hasse than this was not exclusively • parliamentary grant, but was sometimes levied as a Grand Jury tax from the peasantry of Ireland. The vote was then agreed to. IRISH ESTIMATES. Mr. GOULBURN proposed that a sem not exceeding 108,5881. should be. granted to defray the expenses of the Commissariat Department in Ireland. Mr. HUME complained that the Right Hon. Gentleman did not enter into some explarntio■ as to the arrangements of that department, which required so extensive a grant.— His predecessor in office had stated that a great reduction was rostemplated. He conceived that a considerable re. treschme•t might be made ►y consolidating the public este bliahmeets of England and Ireland. But hr considered &t quite improper that the House should be ca:lefl upon at that late period of the Scrims to vole away the public money, whilst they were so ignorant of the details. Mr. GOULBURN said that the consolidation which the Howonrable gentleman bad desired was actually effected in the Commissariat Department . ; and he could assure him that it was from so want of respect, either for hint or for the Howse, that be abstained from entering at present into • financial survey of the condition of Ireland. Mr. HUM E expressed his assent to the explaoatioo, and the vote was agreed to. The next vote proposed was 122,7841. British currency, to defray the expesses of the Barrack deportment. Mr. HUME stated that there were iu Ireland 387 ►arracks, 187 of Which were permanent, and 100 temporary. Now he would beg to caU the attention of the House to what must be the internal condition of Ireland, which required • barrack almost in every lowa. A great portion of the expense might be saved if t►e Chancellor of t►e Exchequer would redsee the defy on spirits. He thought be might with great propriety rope'e t►e reduction of this vote by one half. Mr. GOULBURN said It was necresary that militia @bora be scattered all over the eouetry to preserve order and tresqultlity. They were preserved rather for civil than mili tary po rpeee*. Mr. SPRING RICE said that in mimeo( the districts IBM connected with the present disturbances barracks were more numerous the. elsewhere. In Derry, for instaoce, there were eleven barracks, whilst in Limerick there were usly two. Mr. DENIS BROWNE defended the principle on which Wracks were regulated for the purposes of defence.
