.IMPERML P4SLJAPIENT• HOUSE OF PEERS. TUESDAY ' APRIL. z 6. Tint House met at an early hour this day ; and ' soon after. the Lotto CJIA NC E LOR had taken' the Woelsack, their Lordships entered upon the con. aideration of the long:petidingsAppeal, which.sar, a. Error, The Icing iv. the Inhabitants of the County of Cumberland, when Mr. EItSKINE and Mr; iNtroon were heard at considerable letigth on the part of the Appellant, the Judges-, et_ tended on the occasion. When the arguments of . Counsel , were - finished, the; LOR D ELLOR toned a proposition which reTetted-the opinion of the judges on the' Case. .The opinion of .the Lew Lords thereon was forthwith read by the Lord CHI ttF BARON, at some length. The Lo'ito cn ANC ULLOR nee.eeda second proposition, tending 'to affirm the decision, of the Court below : which, efter e few words trom,..the Earl •of lOseete, was agreed to by the House. *: • §oMe arrangementa were made with respe,a to the periods of hearing certain Appeals, on the sug gestion of Lord Keen N Boitbucte and other Peers. . The Earl of : Tit AN ET, ViSCOWit HAlvt P.)) err, Lords DE CL,IFVO.RD M AV E, were sworn and took' their Seats', The Order for the second reeiling of the Bank of Ireland P,estrielion Rill being read, • Y and 11".11,SINGIMM, after stating as the prin. eipel reason, the unavoidable absence of a Noble Friend of his, who proposed to take a particular share #n the discussion, moved- that . the said Order. be postponed till .Monday next. ?ht Earl If LIMERICK expressed his hope, that the discussion of the merits of the • Bill would not, be postponed farther ,than the (ley now pro. posed;., it was one of, a peculiar nature end import, anee, the more especially as it appeared to be thought, dew the .very respectable Corporation who were the objeas of the Bill, were nut so discreet in the discharge of :their official duties. The-dis cussion in questiorithe had no doubt, would establish their full vindication ; it was therefore proper, in that view of the case alone, that the consideration of the subject should not be further postponed : he repeated his wish, that the second reading of the Aid should take place on Monday next, ail& urged as an additional reason for the discussion being Speedy and determinate, that the Corporation'allud. ed. to. seemed still, in some degree, to be the subjeft of suspicion in the point of view be had glen. tiooed. Lord WALSINGI. MAI, in explanation, observed, that the absence of his Noble Friend was' in cense: (Fence of an unforeseen accident. 1 " The question was then put, and the. second read.: Inc of the Bill was postponed till Monday, next. On the suggestion of Lord El. L E NISOR.OUGU, the Committee on the Irish Chalking *Bill was post. ponied till Friday next. The Bilis before the .House were. forwarded in theit - reveCtive stages. ' • . " ,Mr. Ai-axe:en R and others brought up from the Commons the Sugar Duty DraWbaek Bill, the MO Revenue Bill, and the Innkeepers' Subsistence Bill. Several pri v te Bills were broLght up from the e(immons by Mr. Lasc ELL Cs, Mr. LEE, and other Ge . loheeen : the greater. part of these Bills were forthwith read a first time. 1 and ICING addressed a, few observations to the tioue:, the, principal. effeel of which was, to post. pooe .the. Muria' of which he had given notice, respeeling the 'Financial a:tuatian of , the Country, until this ,when he 'express'ahis bore, he *should have, occasion to postpone it rt hc r, Pit the reasons U} on he - understood a 'Pi h a d been 'already 'poattnined that evening, Las f/ 4 1 tEPAWD4LE . called, the attention of the , Rouseeto_a circumstance, which he conceived to be of .considerable importance, - and to which he was consequence of the threepiivate Bills which related to property in Ireland, and' which were then'before the flonse,' 'He adverted to the power Which Was' granted for, taking evidence on certain oceasidna, before the Judges in that CountrY, arid which may afterwards be brought before that House. In :view of such-a regulation, he abeuld propose to tet.;e inth corisid:ration the particular 6retunstances of the Bills he alludedio, He wits of optuion, ;tad he . illte'ndeAl,:on a future opportunity, (s'd we understtlud his' Lordship) • to prop's°, . that Snaie. prOyisiOns may be Wade upon the * eubjeti, tending to extend such a power beyond Parliamen. tai'y proCeeilings. One ehese would be, to *lathe tevidence to, be taken in distant parts of the Country; and to render the persons swearing, liabl e t o a ll the consequenees'of giving false evidence, as Wit. n'SSCS arc in courts of Justice, &c. ..The Noble ;old Learned Lord ernieluded with 'moving, that the mil s i n , question be refetied to Committees, who should report upon the subje&anatter thereof, &c. viitich, on the questions icing put, vas ordered 4ecurdingly._ The Si: Pancras Poor House Bill was read a se. t im e , an d on the question for referring th e Isol to the consideration of a Committe'e in the way liifii of a sirnilar description are usually referred, beirt.pur; The Farr of MOIR', rose, and made a variety of observations on the spbjeti of the Bill, the, gre;oer part of which were d ecidedly hostile to it in its prrsent shape. He considered the last pro. position in'ade, as at best . questionable, as it would go to prevent the parries from giving cvi. &tux at, the Sir of the .House. The Noble Earl expatiated on the advahtages which he conceived to result from a proceeding• of this last nature. He (lid not; however, mean to press his ()Nation at pre_ icor, as he wished to try whether the Committee m ty not render the Bill more admissible than it was t present. Should lila not be the result of the ilibenssion before the Committee, he certainly served to himself the privilege of objecting to the measure on Ak.equient Itages of the Hill. He then alvertel to some of the leakling,provisions of the liii,which`he spike of in terms of reitiehension, as rcticiing tO (Ivg rights and frdnchises of a consicle. , ntltribt• of the st7bjeas,' of this realm, in asmuch as - . clay 'w eni to vest ex t and tmpretiLlented 1:6:1 ets Imigtvof ~persons arbitrarily chosen, a . ; qi t io wvra to have' tile farther potiverti-of - "7"b adegdate reasons should be assigned, far such pro?, sions, yet none Were assigned either in thegri t itm, late N-the body °Nile Bill. For decency 4alte,i*, thougt, the objca of the Bill sinpild be s4t.folt`iri the title, Did the Bill - originiite, in that,` ko.se ttkcir Lordships woujd certainly -require moters to assign adequate grounds for the adrspoti of such a measure, as that it was the wish of a ma. jißrity thc. parisidopers.hg. .Bill. of such atm lure as the prmenr, so greatly trenching .npon ;the franchises of the subjed, ought to have strong rea., suns assigned' the . triordespecially as it may be regarded as a precedent, The. Noble -Earl presented two Petitions against the Bill, one of whieli'Was,'from the .Churchwar dens,'-Over!eers of the Poor, .and certain. House. holders of the Parish of St. Pancras, praying leave to be heard by their Counsel before the Committee. was •then referred to the. consi4ration of a Committee of their Lordships, to whom the Peititi . OnS above-mentioned were ordered to be re ferred. -A very considerable numberOf persons were sworn with respeft„ to, their, intended'' evidence befOre the dOnimittee on the St. Pancras Poor House Bill. • . Sanie routine business was then diiipoied of, after which their 4,.or4ships adjourned to.;morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, Ariel', 26. ." A - Message from the. Lords.sta fed, that they had agreed to the Grenada Loan Bill without any amend. mint. • Col. LPIVgFIALD presented a .Petition. from the Tanners of the city of Cork, complaining Of-the mode of colletting the • tax onleather. The Hon. Gentlethan observed that the Tanners :were. put ,to much inconvenience by the present mode of coiled ing the 'tax On lenher : he therefore' Moved that the Petition.should be received, and laid on the Table. Mr. CORRY said, he had no objetlion to second the:Motion. of_ his .lion.. Friend : he. was desirOus that the su!)jed should undergo full and ample dis cussion, thittthe Parties might have every satisfitc. lion on the subject, and. ;f• there were any real grounds- of : complaint, he blinuld have no.objedion to any amendment that could be suggested for public advantage. He observed, that'll his Hon. Friend should not. be present, he would himself move that the,Petition should be referred to a Committee above-stairs, and though the measure complained of, originated with himself, yet he was- not so extreme. lypartial to it as to persist in such a mode, if any superior regulation could be adopted. He therefore invited those whose interests were concerned, if they thought themselves aggrieved, to petition the House, that the matter might be fully.discuSsed. Mr. LEIGH said, he had sent over ftir persons t o b e examined before the • CoMmittee, and he un. ' derstood that the [lon. Gentleman had also sent for ersons to attend nn the same subjcd, When .Wtt. nesses were heard by the Committee on the tax complained of,' the House would be better able to judge of the nature of the complaint, and the regu.• lations necessary to be made. ';The Petition was then ordered. to - lie on the Table. Mr. LE crt unwed, that the Order of the Day should be read 'for the House to resolve it,cll into a CAnniittee on the Irish Courts of Law Bill, for the purpose of putting it off. The Order being read, Mr. LEIGH said, that it was a. Bill o( great 'consequence, and he was desirous that it should he fully considered. He believed the' House was of opinion w?th him, that' the Patentee Officers who might suffer under this 13N, coght to receive a compensation. He therefor:: moved that the Order be.clischarged, and that it be fixed for Monday next, when he should propose that there be an in. strneti..in to the Qinrimittee to receive a clause of compensation r -The Mc.;Han was then agreed to. M. VANSITTART'MOVCd that an account of. all the permanent Taxes, from 401 s, 18oz, to April s, iga3, should be laid belore the House. — Agreed to. Sir 110 RT, HUXTON moved, that the time allowed by the tiouie for' an exchange of the lists of Eledort on the late Middlesex Elenion; Should tie extended a month longer, from the date of the day at which the tune eXpires. p. ./i,V.VON said, he thought there could be no inconvenience to either Party by grantin g a longer time before the exchange Of the lists took place, Mr. GREY - said, he could not _approve .of the application made by the. Hon. ogeotleman ; h e thought there had been sufficient time allowed.for the Parties to prePare the lists for the accommoda tion of each other. There were more ;than, ten Petitions for the consideration of the House, anclit was highly necessary that no delay should take place, •It was his wish. that no further time should be allowed. 7 . • Sir R. BUXTON said, the Middlesex Ele4lion could not come on to be heard before a month after the next Session of Parliament, and thetekbre no an of injustice could take place to either Party, by granting a longer time for the exchange of lists. Sir FRANCIS BURPETT said he thought the application a little hard, and he did not doubt but the House would consider it unreasonable. Ten Months have now passed away ,since', the' Middle s ex 'EleCtion, therefore time enough had : surely been given to the Parties to prepare.the lists ; he, there. tore, hoped the House would not 'allow- a further time than to the end of this Session. Mr.BRAGGE said, the obje4t of the Order was, to giant the Parties a sufficient time to prepare the lists of Elettors for exchange ; in his opinion a month was time enoug h; but if the Hou : i e Shoold be inclined to grant a longer time, and as the con sideration of the Petition cannot come on till next Session, .he shouldthinklit.right that _both Parties. should be tied up from proceeding any farther in the businessof the Elettion, , till its consideration takes place,. and that all-further inquiry into the merits of the EleCtion should subside till next SesSio N Mr.' HURST said, that if the Idluse should order the Consideration of the-Petition to come cm in the first week after the commencement of the : , next 'SesSion, ' such an artier Would Materiall y jute the Parties. - JPI To Urn I Sala concurred in that Which the ~last Hon. Gentleman had just stated to the House. - ,,if ; the'Middlesex Petition came on during the first \yea, after the next Session,..it would be,' difficult for •< ~rhe;- , P4ties to prepare for Parliamentary investiga. Apti, i t so short a. nonce. _;Vr.. BR AGG E said, it was necessary that some ,ti,Me - tifter the commencement of the Session should be allowed, before the House began to consider the -.Petitions, in order to give the Parties time. The Order was tlten diseharged. On the, Moti on of the SEcRICT4RY at WAR, the House resolved itself into a COtninifteeof the whole Rouse, on the - Militia Familie s ' Bill. After a rong . conversation between, several Mem. hers on different clauses of the :Bill, :the.,blanks .were ordered to be filled up; and on the House resuming, the RepOrt was ordered to hehrought. up to.motrow. Lord CAST . LRREAGII gave notice that he should .move for leave to bring in a-Bill relative to the East India Volunteers. Mr. CRorruN, from .the Treasury of Ireland, brought up several, accounts relativeto the Finance of that Country, which were',ortleyed to lie on the Table, and be printed for - the use of the Members.
