XIV. When thi Commons have annexed to a Bill of Aid or Supply any clause or clauses of which the matter is foreign to the Bill, the Lords have claimed the right either of amending it in tha t behalf, or of rejecting it. Thus in a Bill already referred to, " The Land tax and Irish Forfeiture Bill," of the year 1700, it appears that the Commons had inserted clauses which created an incapacity in the Commissioners or Managers of the Excise for sitting in that Par liament. The Lords amended, the Commons dis agreed, and claimed their privileges. Conferences were held, and among the reasons assigned by the Lords for their amendments is as follows :—" Be cause the qualification of members to serve in Par liament is a thing, if proper to be meddled with at all, that hath been thought fit by the Commons to be in a Bill by itself; and the joining together in a money Bill things so totally contrary to the methods of raising money, and to the quantity or qualifications of the sums to be raised, is wholly destructive of the freedom of debate, dangerous to the privileges of the Lords and to the prerogative of the Crown. For by this means, things of the last ill consequence to the nation may be brought into money Bills, and yet neither the Lords nor the Crown be able to give their negative to them with out hazarding the public peace and security." Not withstanding these reasons the Commons resolved, nemine contradicente, to insist upon their disagree ment with the Lords in the said amendments. A free conference was afterwards desired and held, but the Commons adhered to their former reasons, and declined to enter into any debate of the Lords' reasons. This took place on the 11th April, and Parliament was prorogued on the same day. This question was formally taken up by the Lords on the 9th of December, 1702, when they made the following declaration, which was ordered to be added to the roll of standing orders That the annexing any clause or clauses to a bill of Aid or Supply, the matter of which is foreign to, and dif ferent from, the said Bill of Aid or Supply, is un parliamentary and tends to the destruction of the constitution of the Government." In some cases, they have not insisted on their Standing Orders ; in others they have insisted. (See App. 68, 192.) BILLS FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF SUPPLIES. XV. The appropriation* of Supplies to specified beads of expenditure was introduced in the reign of Charles 11. ; and generally, though not in every instance, it was adopted by Parliament. The prac tice with regard to it assumed, substantially, its present form in the reign of William 111. ; and, as the Bill by which the appropriation is made enacts that the aids and supplies enumerated there shall not be issued or applied to any use, intent, or pur pose, other than those which are mentioned in it, the constitutional usages with respect to these bills are the same as those above adverted to with respect to Supply Bills ; it is prepared in the same way as the Act of the Commons only . ; it is sent up to the Lords for their assent ; it is returned by that House into the charge of the Commons ; and when the Commons are summoned to attend her Ma sty or the Lords Commissioners in the Hou se of PPeers it is carried, with the Supply Bills , to t he bar of their House by the Speaker, and there presented by him for the Royal assent. Although the Lords have in some instances rejected Bills for specific appropriation of supplies, they ap pear to have uniformly passed the General Appro priation Bill at th© and of the session without any amendments. PUBLIC BILLS WHICH OPERATE AS A CHARGE ON THE PEOPLE.' XVI. While the controversy was going on re specting Supply and Tax Bills , in the early part of the reign of Charles the Second, a question arose whether other Bills which were not strictly Bills of Supply, or Tax Bills, but which would operate as a charge on the people, could or could not ori ginate in the Lords. Thus, in the year 1661 a Bill came down from the Lords to the Commons, en titled a Bill for paving , repairing, or amending the streets and highways of - Westminster. But the House, " observing that the said Bill was to alter the course of law in part, and to lay a charge upon the people, and conceiving that it is a privilege in herent in this House that Bills of that nature ought first to be considered here, it was ordered that the said Bill be laid aside, and that the Lords be acquainted therewith, and with the reasons in ducing the House thereunto." So, on the 17th of May, 1662, the Lords returned with amendments, a Highway Bill, by inserting two provisoes concerning the erecting and repair ing two bridges. These provisoes were disagreed to by the Commons ; and it was ordered, " That it be insisted on for a reason of the dissent of this House to these provisoes, because these provisoes arc to lay a charge on the people which ought not to be gin with the Lords, but in this House; and although it be but a part of the kingdom, yet, by the same reason, it may be extended to the whole." Upon. a conference the Lords gave way. So, on the 15th of February, 1664, an engrossed Bill, sent from the Lords, " for regulating and ordering of buildings and for amending of high ways in towns" was ordered to be laid aside, "it appearing that the said Bill was to impose and continue a tax upon the people which ought to have begun in this House.' It was insisted on the part of the Commons that all bills which would operate as a charge.on the people must as much begin in their House as bills of Supply and Tax Bills. The same principle was applied to pecuniary penalties or forfeitures, for the Commons have insisted that the Lords cannot ori ginate or alter such penalties or forfeitures, or alter the application or distribution of them, or the quan tum of any toll op rate, or the disposition or dura tion of it, or the persons, commissioners, or collec tors appointed to manage it. On the sth of January, 1690, the Lords amended a Bill for suspending during the war with France the Navigation and Corn Acts, by imposing a penalty of £lO on any person who should conceal, hide, or rescue a British seaman. The Commons disagreed on the ground of privilege; several conferences took place, but they were interrupted by an adjournment, an d afterwards by a prorogation, without any settle anent of the matter in difference. Again, on the 20th of February, 1691, the Com mons, after a conference , disagreed to amendments made by the Lords in a Bill for punishing mutineers and deserters, the reason assigned being, " that it is the undoubted right of the Commons only to ap point pecuniary mulcts and the the distribu were tion." inter- The proc eedings in this case, like last, rupted by a prorogation. Several other eases of a similar kind occurred towards the latter end of the 17th century. The Lords insisted on their right to make such amend ments, and the Commons denied it ;; but, as the Com mons would not agree to such amendments, the bills were either lost or the Lords ultimately gave way. (See Appendix 75, 78, 79, 80, and the cases referred to under the next head). So with regard to the mode in which duties were to be collected. On the 28th. of November, 1696, the Lords amended a Bill " for regulating the ill state of the Coin in the Kingdom," by giving a longer time to receivers and collectors to pay into the Exchequer hammered money. The Commons disagreed, upon the ground that " the Lords could not make an amendment which is to be a charge upon the people." The Lords did not insist on their amendment, and the Bill passed. The same rule was also applied to fees as well as to penal ties ; and that equally, whether Bills were of a public or a private nature. Latterly, indeed, that rule has been relaxed when the penalty relates to the punishment or prevention of offences ; for, by the Standing Order of the Commons made on the 22d of June, 1831, it was ordered, " That if in any Bill which, having passed the House of Lords shall be sent down to this House for their concurrence, or in any Bill which, having passed this House, shall be returned by the Lords with amendments it shall appear that any pecuniary penalty or forfeiture is thereby imposed, varied, or taken away, the Speaker shall, before the second reading of such Bill or amendments, repeat to the House his opinion whe ther the object thereof is to impose, vary, or take CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 27th inst., shows some rather important changes. Owing to the advances made upon stock during the shutting of the transfer booko4the other securities have been augmented by nearly a million sterling, and the public deposits, in consequence of the ac tive collection of the revenue, have also largely in creased. In the private deposits there is an aug mentation of about a quarter of a million. The variations in the reslrve of notes and the stock of bullion are not of an important character. The respective items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table Active Circulation .. Increase .. Bullion .. Increase .. Latterly the Commons have occasionally disagreed to an amendment, on the sole ground of privilege, without offering other reasons ; but the more usual practice has been to lay the Bill aside at once,. of which the Poor-rate Bill of 1836, and the County Bridges Bill in 1841, may be cited as examples. (See App. Nos. 112 and 119). Not unfrequently when that has been done new Bills have been brought in for carrying into effect the same object (App. No. 95, 99, 100, 106, 111, 112, 117, 118, 119), some of which embodied the Lords' amendments in whole or in part. (See App. No. 92, 112.) PRIVATE BILLS INVOLVING A CHARGE. Practice of the Commons. XVIII. In part V. of the Appendix heretomill be found a list of private Bills, which involved or related to some charge on the people, and when the Lords have attempted to amend them 'it will be seen that the practice of the Commons is strongly confirmatory of that right which they have always insisted upon of originating, imposing, or in any way altering any of such charges. But by, a standing ord3r, dated 27th of July, 1858, the House will not insist on its privileges with regard to any clauses in private Bills sent down from the House of Lords which refer to tolls and charges for services performed, and -aro-not-in the nature of a tax. BILLS FOR REPEALING OR ALTERING ANY LAWS RELATING TO SUPPLY TAXES OR CHARGES UPON THE PEOPLE. XIX. Having now disposed of the first branch of the inquiry-namely, that which relates to the imposition of taxes, your committee will proceed to the other branch of the inquiry, or that which re lates to the repeal of taxes. The rules with reference to this class of Bills are almost identical with those which are applicable to the other classes. Two of these rules are-first, that Bills for repealing taxes or charges of the people, like Bills for imposing such taxes or charges, ought always to originate in the House of Commons; and secondly, that the Commons will not allow them to be amended in the Lords, except where the amend ments are for the correction of clerical errors, or in furtherance of the intent and objects of the Bill. XX. When the Lords have amended, the Com mons have disagreed to such amendments, and the Bill has been lost or the Lords have given way. Thus, in the year 1699, the Lords amended a Bill, intituled, " An Act for Making more Effectual the Market of Blackwell-hall to the Clothiers, and for Regulating the Factors there." The amendment was an addition at the end of the Bill as follows: " And that all such goods as shall be brought to the city of London be brought unto Blackwell-hall, there to remain until the duties for the relief of the poor children in Christ's Hospital be paid for the same." The Commons disagreed, and a conference was desired. On the 19th of April the Commons assigned as part of their reasons that " the amend ment would create a charge upon the people, which the House of Commons can by no means allow to arise but in their House." On the 20th of April the conference was held, and on the 2d of May a message was sent to the Lords " to put them in mind of the Bill." No further proceedings, however, were taken upon it, and Parliament was prorogued on the 10th of May. Again, in the year 1708, the Lords amended a Bill intituled "An Act to Repeal a Clause in an Act' of the Seventh Year of the reign of His late Majesty, for Amending and Repairing the High ways." The Commons disagreed. A conference was held. The reason assigned for disagreement by the Commons waS "that one of the amendments would impose a new tax on the subject. The Lords waived their amendment. Similar cases with simi lar results occurred in 1700, 1 - ,09, 1715, and even as late as 1834. Sometimes, when the Lords have amended, the difference has been terminated by the prorogation of Parliament, or by no further pro ceedings being taken upon the Bill. (See App. No. 129, 130, 132.) Sometimes the Bill has been simply laid aside by the Commons. (See App. No. 135, 148, and 150.) And in other cases the Bill has been laid aside, but new Bills have been brought in, embodying occasionally the Lords' amendments. (See App. 136, 137, 146, 148, 149, 151, 152, 153, 164, 173.) BILLS FOR , t o h nl e 74 C ß, o El m PE7oE m 6Ap i Ll n l7 s N7G. have agreed to Lords' amend ments such amendments have been usually made for the correction of some clerical errors, or in fur therance of the intent and objects of the Bill. (See App. No. 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 147, 155, 157, 158, 161, 162, 163, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, OR ALTERING ANY LAWS RELATING TO SUPPLY TAXES OR CHARGES Commons E. when the Lords postpone Practice UPON THEO thPe or reject. XXI. With regard to those cases where the Lords have rejected or postponed Bills for repeal ing or altering taxes or charges upon the people the practice has been as follows:- The earliest case under this head occurred in the year 1714. There the Bill was a Bill for the relief of wine merchants in payment of their bonds. It was founded on a petition of several merchants, which on the 10th of April had been referred to the Committee of Supply. On the 12th of April it Was reported by the chairman of the Committee of Supply, " That they h ad considered the matters of the petition to them referred, and had directed him to move the House that leave may be given to bring in a Bill," according to the prayer of the pe• tition. The Bill passed the House of Commons, but, it was negatived by the Lords on the question, " That the Bill do pass," and nothing further was done upon it. In the following year a similar Bill, intituled " An Act for Relief of Merchants, Importers of To bacco and Wine, concerned in Bonds given for part of the duties on the same," was rejected by the Lords. On the sth of May, 1758, the second reading of a Bill brought from the Commons, intituled, "An Act to Discontinue for - a limited time the Duties payable upon Tallow imported from Ireland," was :BDBrlDocD3DlDyNDDi..ristoooooai:leol.harueeasr.

AUDACIOUS ROBBERY OP A GENTLEMAN'S GOLD SPECTACLES.—G,Trge Fredevick Stirling, alias Phillip Owen, a negro, and who, in 1856, was committed from this court i( r six menths for a daring robbery in Tottenham court-road, was charged with stealing a pair of gold spec tacles from the person of a French gentleman, named Martin Rousillon, at present staying at the Sabloniere Hotel, Leicester-square. M. Rousillon said he was going into his hotel, the Sabloniere, about half-past ten the previous night, when he suddenly from behind had his gold spectacles, of the value of £2, snatched from his face, and he saw the prisoner running. He called out " Stop thief!" and some one stopped him. Mr. Butcher, of 106, Seymour-terrace, Euston-road, hearing the cry of " stop thief," and seeing the prisoner running, after some dodging on his part, secured him. The prisoner fell down, and on his going back to the place after the prisoner was taken into custody he found the prosecu tor's spectacles broken. The prisoner wished the case settled by Mr. Beadon at once. Mr. Boatlon said he must go for trial. He was too no torious a thief to have it settled by him. The prisoner, against whom it is said there are several convictions, was then committed for trial. THAMES. SINGULAR CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST TWO TRADES MEN.—John Dennett, aged 43, builder, of No. 43, Gar dener's-row, Eethnal .green, and Thomas Atkins, aged 45, hinder, of No. 8, Lower Mary-street, Bromley, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a gold Albert chain, value £5, from the person of Mr. Francis Maloney, a custom-house clerk, of No. 16, Grove-road, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Maloney that he had been lately making a tour in Ireland, and on the previous evening, soon after his arrival from Dublin, he went into the railway hotel public-house, in the Grove-road, to ob tain some hot water. He stood before the bar for some time talking to the landlady, and while doing so the prisoners entered, and inquired if they could be accommodated with beds. The landlady said she could not supply them with beds. The prisoners then remained at the bar talking about the weather, the crops, and the state of the country. Atkins, who was standing close to him, became very familiar indeed in his conversation. All at once he missed his gold Albert-chain, and accused the prisoners of steal ing it, which they denied. He was certain that one of the prisoners must have taken it. He called for a policeman and gave the prisoners into custody. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley the prosecutor said that his watch was at home. He detached it from his chain before leaving Dublin. He was certain he had his chain when he entered the Railway Hotel. No other per son stood in front of the bar except himself and the pri soners. The landlady remarked that it was strange two gentlemen who lived in the neighbourhood should ask for beds. The chain was loosely suspended round his neck, and not made fast to anything. One of the prisoners (At kins) stopped ana conversed with a man on his way to the station-house. The witness underwent a severe cross ex amination by Mr. Young, and declared he was sober. He wore a large Manners car e over his coat. It completely enveloped him. Thomas Tarleach, potman at the Railway Hotel, con firmed generally the statement of Mr. Maloney, and said he was playing at dominoes in the taproom while the three men were standing at the bar. Mr. Malony was not sober nor tipsy, but was rather the worse for liquor. A police-constable, No. 183 K, said the prosecutor was decidedly intoxicated when he gave the prisoners into custody. The chain was not found. Mr. Howlett, a builder, said he knew both prisoners. They were highly respectable tradesmen of unimpeachable character. Mr. Yardley thought Mr. Maloney bad made a mistake. No jury would convict on such evidence, and he should not detain the prisoners one minute longer. They were dis charged. The prisoners said Mr. Maloney would hear of this in another court. Mr. Young—l certainly shall advise my clients to bring an action for false imprisonment. THIS D. 4 Y'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.
