Caen. After several other remarks, Mr.• Ronnie moved for the revival of the same Committee fOr . melt) , appointed to inquire into the. state of the Poor Laws, and to report their opinions thereon. Mr. CURWVN confessed, that it was with much, pain and reluctance he found it his duty to oppose the motion. From the revival of such a Cnn mit tee he could conceive no real benefit to the community. The House had now before it a complete and minute detail of every information Which could be desired on the subject. He was, therefore, for proceeding to some immediate act . of that House, to prevent. or check the growing' and alarming evil, so properly depicted by the Hon. Gentleman. He deprecated farther while the country remained in the berions'datiger which it experienced tiotn the waist of 0 ee f fectital remedy, The expence of tneintaiesing the poor '25 years ago amounted to two millions ; it now exceeded the quadruple of that stun. The miseries of- the poor increased in proportion to the diffientties of the times. He denied that any blame; was 'attached to the conduct of the land holders. They were iiideed the chief4tufferers; bat they bare their ethbarrassments, froM the de fects of the laws as they now stood, with COlll - fortitude, but not . without apprehen sions and fears of Ilse consequences.. This great evil, for which all classes of society called eland for sonic speedy remedy, arose from three causes • —namely, the immense extent of taxation, the '• inadequate pike o f labour, and the depreciation of money. Fuom the period now mentioned (25 years ago) to the present time, the increase in the price of labour amounted to the average of - one-ftierth, attd the -rise its the price of articles of provisiosts to one-third. So that if any Gen tleman would iuclude in the account the neces saries absolutely wanted. by the labouring man,. be meant chit fly those employed by the farmer, or those labouring in the fields, such as shoes, clothing, coals, soap, &c., it would he found that Gevernment obtained in taxes more than one-ninth of the income of every man of this dee seription. Instead of agreeing to the appoint- metes of the proposed Committee, he was fully persuaded that there - was no remedy eqUal to at; itterteeditte rednetion of taxation-he meant that -safe redection which could be kie.. COMpliSiled Wit hi*ut detriment to the i rite of Goe-esement. The country was in a very alermine acid a very desperate state.l tt eechmeut may become necessary ie all classes of society, froas the higheet to the lowest ; and ' unless we looked (stir difficulties its the face, and encountered rhent with iv tette English spirit, we would be rttir.ed as a nation. Ile recommended meet earnestly economy; and stack a system to originate from his Majesty's Ministers would re dound to their honour and praise. He adult not pretend to say whet plaits of economy were in the contemplation of the Chencellor of the Exclte epee but unless some speedy remedy were adopted, some great and elleetuel reduction of our taxes, the revolt, be was feartcl, would be dreadful. it was iteranssible /weeny men to talk of his property—it eras impossible for any leadhoider to boast of his poseeeeione, while the poor were so numerous, and in such a etete of wretchedness and misery.-e- Viewing things as. they now presented themselves, there was no public or private safety—so far as regerdtel a peettentencY of possession. Although the chief poor rates were nominally paid by the ferener, they %void(' ultimately fall upon the land holder. All Lauded propel ty was endangered by the menacing appearance of the times. He was ft:art:ol that the whole population of the COM -05 wo u ld situ into a general state of pauperism. Freres a population so paeperised, no recovers of &erecter or itterety could be eXpected. In draw ii)g a disrisocfion between' the landholder andetock bolder, he affirmed, that the former contd reckon on only in the pound, while the latter en joyed sixteen sitiiiings in the pound. Th e H o . eoutahle Gentleman represseal at the same time Iris apprthensiocts am.l fears front the treat in et cave of population. In many places the labourer could not procure bread, and was therefore re duced to substitute potatoes for it. Potatoes com posed the cla;ef pert of the food of the labouring poor in some counties of she sister kingdom. -It alight he true that this general use of potatoes tended to increase the population of the country. So mud) the more alarming, because an increase of population beyond the means of employment, it3e - rea . sed iu a piopottiost I degree the irievattces of sellich we :tow Complained. There ought to be smite tegtltatilln of wages for the labouriug poor. The Nesefit-rites, when COMpareti with thi.l;rices at provisions, were inadeepate. ltt tn,tity dis triers, t's;e man received 25., while his- wife, when employed, received is. 6d. But tlie inadequate eumponsa;lou ft,r labour diel not rest ,itere. The . farrovt; nt'particulAr periods of the year, could conduct his business with fewer labourers. Those discharge were of course thrown on the parish; and inany ins:ances occurred, vvlien the Overseers of the Poor obtained the 're-employment of tie persons this discharged, by giving the farmer a premium. to relieve the parish. He condemned tlle combinations which had lately annoyed' the cowitry. The ii,inislmetit of the offenders was certainly r ti , c...t , sary Only of Government ; but it the t9mbinations of the masters, as well as ser- wants, were attended to, the Public would in wally instances not hare been so oppressed by finor ff the House were in earnest, let them rat S. immetliatrly .dopt some plan for the relief of the agtictiltord libourers. Although his mas ter, nt a' certain i , eriod of the year, • could do with:out him, vet Gentlemen ought to recollect, that the poor u urrr, thus perhaps ahatuloned, cou4d not exist without food. There were about ruco millions of agricultural labourers exposed these dfficulties. vei y Ire portion of our po- pol.tion were Therefore endangered by incoove nienes ritsl miseries of the most scrioos deserip- I :)U, Swqlle i',„lr3 of . the Hon.Memberss Oropused Bill were eligible, sc; far p r ,Cfe..vortit.y. • But the general character ut t he Bil!, an d, a kmve ail, the procrastination <4 tome etrectu4l rertl(!y,. i‘lr.

The pretended sa v i ng by the plan shoat to be proposed wool‘l be ill- fling incited ; it ti !mid Pot amount to one-six- teettth port of eig:ut millions i:ow requisite. In {ion. fo~mtr yeses, the aserage poor eras Jeckuned at the rate °lone in 28 ; now it amounted, in many dis tricts, to one in 14. By the alarming increa.e of pauperism, the lower people became demora lized. Promiscuous cohabitations were common; dot! the number of bastards. alising from these promiscuous connexions amounted, he believed, to six millions ! For the maintenance of obis spurious offspring, thus thrown upon the public, (helot)) of 500,000/. a year wae expended. No effeetual remedy was, in his opinion, within the reach of the House or Ministers, but a reduction of taxation ; and he called upon the Executive 'Government to stiggest and bring forward some plan which would satisfy the Country. He ex pected no effective system - from the Committee. Without. exciting too great an alarm i o the Coutory, he could not help assuring the House, that 'unless the evil now complained of were checked by some immediate remedy, all property and all energy would at once be complrtely de stroyed. He therefore should oppose the mot iota. Lord CASTLCKEAGH supported the motion for the revival of the Committee. If the House wished for lamina , ion on the ,übject—it subject of the first importance—let them agree to the motion 01 . his Hon. Ft iend (Mr. bourne). His Lordship ac knowledged, that he always-heard the Hon. Mem-. ber who had last spoken with much attention and pleasure—because he believed his intentions were Kure and disinterested. But he must be par &turd if - lie differed from him on the present oc casion. The Ilona. Gentleman gave indications of some tvonderful Plan of taxation—some effectual remedy—for the relief of the comitty. It would have certainly been more candid, if the Hon.. Gen tlernau, instead of endcavoering to make a partial impression on the House by a bold. allusiort to his new plao—ro y s new project for the reduc tion of taxes—it t.eoold have certainly been.more candid, it the Hon. Mtonber, in the plenitude of his condescension, had peen kind enough to have commuoicated his Dew charm of tax a tion to the Chanc e llor of the Exchequer, or to any of his Ma jesty's Miiiivers !—(Hear,. hear, hear !)—The labours of the Centmittee had not only his gimd wishes, but all those of itis Majesty's Government. His Lordship did not think that such a plan ought to originate with the Executive Government.— The comm.' , " might feel some jealousy to a mea sure thus originating. It would have therefore been Unwise on the part of Ministers to have brought forward such a proposition. If the Hon. Member would suggest any plan of finance, or any .plan for bettering the condition of thopoor o whiCh, stood in need of the co-operation of Government, he might depend on every attention from ihe Ser vants of the Crown. It would, however, be on. wise in Government to interfere till the Com mittee bad presented its Report. No blame could with fairness be imputed to his Majesty's 'Mi n i" ters on the present occasion. They had not act ed with supineness or ittattention to this subject. They considered the result of the inquiry would prove of. the highest importance to the public.— Witte regard to the fears and alarms which ap peared to startle the Hon. Member from his pro priety,- he widely differed from hint on the state of the country. He entertained the most san guine hope of our prosperity. No nation at any period of great public emergency had ever so ra pidly enterged from its diffeulties.—(Hear, he ar , hear !)—Our trade - , commerce, and revenue were in the most flattering, condition ; and there was every appearance of a still farther improvem ent. Th e re was therefore nO reason for entertaining for a moment the melancholy and alarming pi e _ tore which the Hon. Gentleman thew of the For our further improyement, and for increesing the blessings of peace, he hoped t h e House would agree to the motion of his- Honour able Friend for the renewal of the Committee._ Their deliberations had continued with unprece dented zeal and anxious industrerfor a period_ of two years. His Lordship - declared, that he never knew any Committee more solicitouS in the Pnr snit of their grated object ; and, from a perfect conviction of its real utility, his Lordship would support lite motion. , Mr. Buetteee was fliftully to the motion for time renewal of the Committee. He gave a me lancholy account of the distresses of a parish, either in Brighton or adjacent,. where the poor tales had lately increased to a very alarming de gree; It die present system were longer followed, all the landholders in and around the South Downs would be ruined!. All the young single men were reduced to such a state . of pauperism, as to be obliged tot throw themselves on the work tionee for, the means of existence ! Mr. NIBTIWEN was persuaded that no relief need be expected While the present ruinous system of taxation remained. The labouring poor be- country came the first sacrifice ; but the gentleman also struggles seriously against the pressure of the times. In Wiltshire the public calamity was great and serious. We May enact laws—we may le- gisiate as we please—but unless we gave 1 lime. diate relief to the poor, there would be a rapid in cresle.of 90isesries.. called upon Minihter3 to outrun the country by son,le speedy plan of relief. The_country honked nowi o the House ; but he 'conk! not expect that our taxes could be got lid of, however much he wished for their dimiuu- Mr. T. L. WELLESLEY believed, that he would ill discharge his duty were tie to remain in silence on the present occasion. .The question might be Comprised in a narrow, compass. It was for or against the resumption of the Committee. He should vote for its renewal. Every Gentleman, every Magistrate, every man of. common intelli gence, knew that the poor were at this time in the Most ahjeci state of misery. He differed from the Honourable Mrtilber (Mr. Cur wen) as to his fears respecting an increase of our population. if our population increased, we must find employment for every one. 13ut with every encomium which the Committee deserved, he thinight that it would be better if some proposition came direct from the Government. He could not conceive a prouder or a more col/la* situation for the Executive Governtnent, than that the plan should emanate originally from them. Mr. Alderman Warrnmati reluctantly rose at OW late hoar to offer a few observations to the House. In the parish in the county where he had resided for ?3 nE24 mar,s, .the • greatest miseries were se en and felt. The.p.oor lab,umr.::r Who had a cottage had no garden. There were at least a hundred cottages, anti not one hie!) of garden ground to any of them to 'grow a potatoe on. This was a melancholy but stubborn fact, while he s4w Gentlemen's parks extended in all directions. the Ward which he represeoted,•t he distresses o, the poor were so great, that one hundred. had been summoned for non-ptiyment of the poor-rates, and they were all found so poor that it required a continual' effort to keep out of the workhouse. He therefore'wished for some better documents than those dwelt on by the Noble Lord (Castle reagh) in Support, of the flourishing and prospe rous state of the country. He wished for some better authority that) a fine and an alluring ac count from the Custom-house books. It was impossible to give any relief to the poor but by the rednctinn of taxes. Colonel WOOD was happy to assure the Hon. Alderman that the garden ground to the cottages had nor escaped the notice of the Committee.- 7 The Hon. Colonel recommended•warmly the revi val of the Committee ; and he hoped, notwith standing the remarks advanced by the lion.Mem her (Mr. Curwen), that the Committee would have his aid and concurrence in the adoption of some effectual measure Of relief. A change in the law of settlement had alarmed his consti tuents. They expressed theirfears for the three years' residence p r op ose d. Th e l aw of settle ment ought certainly •to be amended ; but 't% hat would be the best plan he would not at this time presume, to suggest. Mr. MANSFIELD said, that be had had too long experience as a Magistrate, in a large and populous district, not to be-as well • acquainted with the sufferings of the poor, and as feelingly, alive to their distress, as any of the Hon. Gentlemen who had addressed - the House. It was front a deep sense. of their distress that he concurred in the re appointment of the / Committee, - which he hoped would receive a wide extension, and attentively and zealously direct its vigilance to . this mest im portant subject. Before its re-appointment, bow ever, he would beg to suggest 'to them, that they 'would meet, not merely to consider the weight with which the Poor Rates pressed upon the Landed Ipterest,butthat they would have to consi der bow they might best alleviate the misery and - ameliorate the condition of the Poor. He could taketipon himself to say, that in the district in which he had acted as a Magistrate, not only had he found the instances of imposition on the part of. the poor comparatively few, but that he had found them generally grateful for the relief which they received; and be for one Was satisfied, that all the relief they received was due to them, as it kept theth from starving or plunder. He objected to a statement which had been made by tin Hon. Gen tleman in the course of the debate, of the severe and exclusive pressure which. he had .asserted the !anti to suffer from the Poo . r Rates ; for be had forgot to state how much the land had benefited by the Poor w het their.condition was better, and 'had,enabled them to maintain themselves by their industry. He concluded-by strongly calling upon the Committee, while they considered the Landed Interest > , not to forget the interests of the Poor. The question was put; and the motion carried. The former Committee was immediately nomi nated and appointed.. Its first meeting is to-mor row (this day). Any five are to constitute a quorum, and leave given to the CoMmittee to sit, Potwithstandin-g any adjournments of the House. APPEAL OF MURDER. The ATTOR;;;;:dITNERAC,IIIIIIoving . for leave -to bring in• a Dill tor abOlishing Appeals for Murder, Felony, and Mayhem and Wi-iger of Battle, - went at some length into an historical ac .corrnt of the existing law on the subject. .It struck him, he said, if the law was to be altered, it should be.by abolishing the — Appeal itself. This Arpeal placed the life of a - person entirely at the eiercyof an individual. If a person at common law was convicted, the King could pardon ;'but as the laW now stood, the King's pardon could not be pleaded to Lt ., Appeal . Th u s a person who had been ac , quitted by a Jin - y, was placed'entirely at themercy of the Appeller. It was unnecessary to offer any observations to the House on the necessity of abolishing the Wager of Battle. Mr. DENMAN, in seconding the motion, stated that lie entirely concurred in every observation which had fallen from his Honourable and Learn- ed Friend. In every case of Appeal, the trial was removed from • a Jury. He trusted the present measure would be followed tip by others of a si- milar nature, which were called for by the spirit of the age. Mr. BERNAL, as a member of the profession, expressed his thanks to the tionottrableAttorney- Gereral for the present Bill. lie believed the old law of Appeal - was still unrepealed in"‘thc case of Treaion beyond Sea's. The ATTORNEY-GENSRAL apprehended that appeal, in cases of Treason, was - . totally abo lished, Mr. BEtugar.. said, he knew it was abolished in this Country, but be believed it still extended to . • 'Treason committed beyond the Leave was then give - n, and the Bill was shortly afterwards brought in, read a firit tinge, and or- . „ tiered . to be read a second tiwe on Friday next, and printed. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved, that the Returns from the Courts of Justice in Ireland, presented in July last, be now printed. The Report of the Committee of Ways and Means, in which 24 millions of Exchequer Bills were voted, was agreed to, and a Bill ordered to he brought in, in pursuance of the Resolution of the Committee.—Adjourned.
