The questipnbeitlgput, Mr. FOX iaid; it tne House came to this deter. 'would "ad • mination in . w; they w'quld ad most precipitately. The Hon. Gentle Man who moved this, and the Committee' of Whi'elt he: si , aa the 'IN/timber knew the circumstances of tAe . ,ease,,and might; for aught be knew, be justilletl id wishing 'that no new Eleftion should tak&l;lace until after this RepOrt should be considered ;• but the House collectively had no such knowledgi.: He thought the Report ought to be perused for a'few' ahys by - the Menthers of the House, and zdlerwards, is would be time .enough to hi ing forwiird 'lNlOtion of this fuiture'; he did ?lOC see there was at 'pistol' iuKcien't;gtound fj)r the.

For theie reasons this' Motion bad his dieitied!negativeotfough he-did not , knois% that he should • t ake - the Sense of the' House upon it. 'Mr. BOND that this 'Motion.was`made •in foim and Manner • coni - ormably to.' parliamentary usage and' establiSherrprecedeilt.' lt-appeated from' she Report which had just been read to the House, that it was the• opinion .of the •Coinmittee who had investigated the, matter, there. wAs. no. reasonable ground of hope of a peaceable iLledion for the. town of Nottingham, unlessAome means. be taken fur its preservation different from those which at present exist.„ He submitted to the House .the propriety-of giving to the Report of this Committee the same confidence tl , at. had been renosed in tubers. ar)d if Any. such cottudenee, was reposed, it wa manifest from the Report itself that no new ElettiOn ought to take place until after that Report should have -been considered. • • BRQWWE said, he should not have made this Motion without- assigning reasons for it ; 'but,that he:tbOught the House would have heel) the propriety of it-immediately. The evidence given before the, Committee • wits now before the House, and ordered to be printed for the use of : the-Members. He thought .it therefOre disrespeillato the 1-louse, to proceed to assign , td them reasons upon a•subjed thellouseitad .agreed to take into consideration on a- future day—a subjed at present known only to the kw Members who-composed the Committee. The House, I weVer,Would so far giveeredit to, the Report io•the first instance, as' to say, that no new Ere4tion should take place until this Matter:be cariidered;:fOr it appeared on the face of :the .. .gerri'which bad been read 'to the, Hdose, that the Fte'edoin had been.grosslyviolatt:l„ by a systematic funitiit, • obia watt di3graceint as Bribery and .

Gentleman lead "been speaking, any truiielhan he should to any other, bia he wished iii know the, subjed on wi.ich he was td confide, beforehe that confideucl at present he 'had no ski) know.. ledge. This Was a measure similar to . a proceeding against an Individnal . for CiimeJ, for depriVing 'the. Eledors of the town of Nottingham of the exerciSe of the fight of Elettion, wtis in the nature of a pu; nishment, a course which he was not now going to . debate ; be oily thought that the 1-lone ought to take a little time to C,Ul.lSigef liCArr. it adopted it. , He did nu't want tiiuc to consider' t.,lietlier any con.' fidente IN41:1 due to file'ComMit Au lie.iVas ready to repose--but lie tv:inted time to consider wha,t the Committee Inte repOrted: • . _ Mr. 19: DUNDAS said, he am not see how th }louse eonlirreftise char sort of credit to the Report of this Conimit fee, which this Motion only required, for the Mijitibrt — Wasatinest Of course, If the Report of the Oothrtilitee was a =proper one.

' The ell l AtC • if i' lita' • -RXe: HEQUBK raid, he was led to coccur in the proposition nosy • before tare • House, on the 'ground stated by the 'Honourable Cat tattinar) who .spoke last. The Com mittee whose Report tite House had heard read, had deela'red that a.Legislative provision will lie oeces. sary to seettre'..tne . pzeedom ..or . Ele ft ion":,for. the Town of Nottingham; The House would not adopt any Legislative provision, except on-the ground on which theCommittee . had formed their Was opiniOn. it not therefore fit, after an in. quirt' had been carried on by the Committee, that the same inquiry:should be carried can. b.y, ; .the-Hpuse examining the materials on which the Committee had forthed its opinion, .a Committee composed of honourable Members of that House, sworn to do their ditty faithfully and impartially, anti who_ had reld the House by their Report, that which was of the highest importance to the Community,. and !the security of the Constitution,. namely, the F.reedom of .E.leftion, could nut be had at Nottingham, with. out the interferer ce of Parliament. He would ask, was it, .or.was, it not, fit to give credit to.the Com. mittee, who had examined this matter, until the Hottie drooki have an 'opportunity of considering the. ground .on which their recommendation was fOunded ? He-did not consider himself pledged to follow:up their Resolution ; be shosid suspend his opinion upon the .subject, until after he should have read the Report ; but in the mean time he should accosiesce in the.opioion expressed by the Committee.' He .oould ,have lbne, to: consider the wounds, on which that.opinion was founded. The question was then put and carried. Mr.. H. BROWNE resented a Petition on behalf of 1 rederick Shuttleworth, of Nottingham, Hosier, now,a :prisoner in •Netvgate, for prevari. eating in his evidence .before •the Committee, .stat. 7 ing the sorrow .peritence o f t he P et i t i o ner, his sense of the heinousness of his offenee,.,and of the justice of, the House in committing jtiw, and praying release from .his confinement. . The Petition ,being Mr. H. BROWNE moved, that the Petitioner be brought up to-morrow to be discharged.--Ordered: Mr. D I CKEN S' 0 N Senior, after a few words on, the subjeft;of Non.residenee of the Clergy and the Penalties of the Statute of Hen, VIII. on that sob_ jest, which the Legislature had last year .agreed to suspend ; and after observing that a Bill or a general . Late Upon that,subjeet, was under the care . bf all Hon. alnd Learned Member of that House (Sir W. ScotT) but which might not be matured be. • fore the,expiration of. the present Suspending Law, moved, '4? the, last -MI of Parliament for SU pendiog: the Stat Ute of Han: VIII, relative to the Isron.resitlenee :of .the, Clergy, tie now width being entered . as read accordingly, . Mr. DiCi;io;',l " That leave be given to brill; in 'a Din to' continue the said At fur a time to be limned." Sir. ROOE riBUKTO IV said,: he was in hopes that he should not have heard any more of this Bill to dispense with,the LaW of 'the Country. lie wished some,permaecnt measure to be adopted, if the Old Law was unfit to be con'tinoed; if something of that nature was not,d6ne, hp 'should tfrlide it ,his duty to opPOSe the progress of these measures of a temporary 'nature, fur the suspension of Mr. H. BROWNE observed, that a Measure of a permanent nature Was stow 'under the consideration of the Hon. and Learoti tlentleman. who had steep alluded to to.ntght (Sir Wsr.'Storr), and it could not he in better hands ; but in the mean time, the present measure might he proper ; for at present there was no 'choice between the Suspension of the MI - of 'Henry . VIII. and .the endurance of those evils which. had been thought so great when .this subjeft was formerly discussed. in Parliament. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER served, that the lion. and Learned Gentleman (Sir W. SCOT T ), in whose hands the Billallodett to was, had been prevented by .the state of his health Imo bringing the subject ftirwered hitherto tliiS Session but he had the pleasure of informing the Huusb, that he was solnuch improved in health; as to be.expe:t. eel in a short time to. be able to attend his duty is Parliament. He was' aware of the evils of the fete. titian of Motions'of this kind, he should therefore be glad to see some permanent measure adopted, 'hit would soon be brought forward. He could not say there would. be no objetlion to it ; but he hoped, the objeftitins would neither be so strong Or so inerous as they were the last Session. POLE CAREW said a few words; expres sive Gf a hokie, that the . .l3ill abdut to be brought: forward upon this subject, would make better pro./ gress than it did last Session.' • The question was then put, and carried. Sllt.' 1740th31tItte3E. captain MAAKIIAM Said, 'he was under the i disareealqe necessity of obtruding Upon the House on a 'subject of a very delicate nature. When the character of an individual [41011043g et) the Iltiuse• was attacked, he thought it wasabsolutely necessaryi tha,'t some investigation or: ingtiitY should take place into t,he cTretnnstaoces,:so that either the honour.of •the individual shoold be cleared, or if he ld. been 4;ailti of what had bren itnputcd to him, that the stigma . might Ctirly rest upon his chaiader. He Was very sorry that be was 'under the necessity'ef talcing this course, particularly as the Hon. Gentleman to . syhom he alluded Was a friend of his ; - but as he was also high in general, estimation anti - at the Board . to which he belonged, he thought it the more necii_ nary to bring this matter forward. It was now some days since an Hws. Gentleman i now in the House, stated,. that, s ome improper transactions had taken plate on the St'ock Exchange. He did not mean to that he alluded to any one person in particular; I ;le meant to say,. that it seethed to have a re icrt,'l,;:e to some part of His Majesty's Government. 'He Ohl not 'bean to state particular words—but since the statement he alluded to Was- , made in the House, a number of reports had been circulated u to the 'prejudice lof his Honourable Friend—he meant Sir THor,rAs TROUBRI,D6F, Of whom he might speak since he voSas, not .piesent; Upon the state. . - mem - to which he had already referred, a Letter ap. pearcd in the NeWspapers,.from an Agent. He wished to stare, as nearly as , he'could; what the. na:. tare of the transaction was.•• It` was this.:—in the month of June, or last, Sir TROM AS Thou. a Kings rvi diir,g to purchase 'an E's6o:te, and having ANL oat theptac e , the name.

The person who lived an the .estate and rented it, had_l4sl out a .great aka' of money on it, and fromattachment'to it, or from'pride, or some other motive, chose to give a. great - deal more money for the estate than Sir THOMAS had agreed to give, so that Sir TimmAs had not the estate, aild therefore he replaced the money again , immediately in the Funds. He still wished to lay. out 0 . 4 otenereo, tht,firsc o pportu- . nity in the perchase. of:an .eseate,7o view he,gave general orders - td . his Agent, that he should, on the very first diiiireci'ation Of the Funsts, . sell out for him, in order. that when he wanted the use of his money, .he might not' be •'Olifiged to .l .relinquiskitis; objea,- or sell out at a great. dis advantage.- This - Agent,' so dime:led, found sdme depreciation ,of. the Funds on the Saturday ;. on the Menday there was a greater depreciation, and then the Agent, Without communicating - with. Sit THomAs,-sold this money out of the Funds for Sir Tnottas, and he now begged leave to read .to the House an Affidavit, 'stating,: that WM. E.

Mr. DENT deelated.thiit any allnsitin which he made in, the Home on this subjeel was . not in. the least de3ree to Capt. Teoir a RIDC E.

The .statemerrt he Made was on this• ground : that haVing given credit to Administration'for tlie. time it waS known, and 'having considered when it Was made known to the Lord IVlayoe in,the City, it did appear somewhat unlottuhate that It should have got before: that tinie to the knowledge of Soil e - Other. persons in the City, not within the knowledie 'of 'any' one in'Administratinh, but something of that: sort had got out from what quarter he did not know;, he did' not insinuate that it came' from any individual in Government, but "that something was known.in 1 -the-city-no one would deny. He made no accusation on any man, he only Made a general allusion: era* man knew it a swell as he did, that he mentioned it as 'a repOrt, and nothing else ; .but upon his' honour he never meant to insinuate any thing against the . rafter of Sir T.."' koult-RIDGri, for whom, from the accdunt of others, .without 'being looWti to him, he had gieat esteem,.,--He lamented that any affidavit hai been made upon this occasion on , behalf of Sir , T.

His Majesty's Goverornent had sent down to the Lord Mayor at nine o'clock in the morning of 'that day, that Press Warrants were to be issued, all inconvenience Wotild have been avoided ; for lie verily believed that nothing .ef this kind would have happened.' • The dIIANCELLOR• of the EXCIIEQUEIi .said, he kneW the irregularity of getting into a conversatitin4rthis sort, but he hoped it would be excused by the House on account of its 'extraordi 'nary-nature. The•Hcon. Gentleman hac:l said truly, _that what he had said on a former riightwas couch ed in general terms ; bdt it went forth•to the Coun try as a stigma uponiomebody, The.HO:n.

That gallant Officer and honourable man had had recourse to what the Honourable Gentlethan , who spoke last lamented, namely, the oath of his • Agent, which proved ineontestibly his retie& inno cence. That Agent had sworn positively that Sir TROUEKIDGE had no communication with Liu! respeeting -money in."the Funds, for' several weeks previous to the sale of this'Stock, 'and it was not until after the_ period-; he Stock was wil; the Agent. `tworrnnuTt:iatlg api;ll - iniro - liim' op - moe subject of it ; a circumstance so material, that it was absolutely conclusive upon the case, and no doubt could remain upon - it.—He was ,sure , there was not one •Membel in -the House who did not 'believe that- the charade( of this Officer Was pute. He was sure there was not one man in . that House, ur any considtratelnan our Of that House, attentive to'whar. was' said in it, who did not feel how impbrtant and essent;a l it was , to tl!'e welfare' 01-the 4autttry itself; to support the chataelers of men of station, and.
