Vingotton, was brought in and read a first time. The Bidlop of Oxyoao (Dr. Randolph) was sworn and took his sear. 77. v LORD CHANCELLOP stated, that with , respeEt to' the .Committee of Privileges which stood 'for to-morrow, he had a proposition to Make principal' busines of , that Commit. tee related.to the.Chandos Peeragee—ea Case which had alreqy occupied tha•Lettentioo of their , Lord ships three, or four years. The various hearings had hitherto been regular) - iiittended by two Noble and very, Learned Lords then absent, and who, . perhaps, would - be:unable to attend the proposed discussion to.morrow. netessay absence of two. Other. Learned Peers, now engaged in the exercise of their judicial illations, was also to be regretted ; and, perhaps, the only professional Peer Who could attend - so soon, was the person who then had the hoOour 6f addressing their Lord, ships, and of whom, he. thought it fair to observe,. that he had the honour : of attending as Counsel at the Bar on the very Case- in question, Under all these circumstances, he thought it would 'be pre ferahle to postpone the',Consideration of the busi oess until some of the obstacles he had adverted to, were Obviated. Ile should therefore propose, that the Committee of Privileges, to sit for the farther consideration of the ,ChaOdos .Peerage, be deferred t.ntil Thorsday fortnight. While he was on his legs, he felt it necessary to trouble their - Lordships with a few words respeaing a circum stance m some degree conneaed with the above Proceeding. On a firmer day, .he had apprised the House of his intention to submit to its considera tion some observations respelling the' difficulties which struck him, as still remaining, with respect to the issuing of Writs, or summoning to the Itnpe. rirtl Parliament the Irish Spiritual Peers—these, lie had said, he shoulA bring fOrward in the Commit. tee of Privileges either to-morrow or Monday.• His 'intention now, was to give notice, that he. Should bring forward these propositions on Monday next. Before he sat down; he should add, that it was his intention to , move that the farther consi. derarion of the Appeal Cause, which stood for this day, be referred till Friday. 'These observations of the Noble and Learned Lord seeming fully to meet the sense of their Lordships, he put the necessary questions from the Wookack, which , were severally passed in the affirmative. r lILACKDURNE, attended by several Mem bers, brought up the Bank Bestriffion Bill from the CoMmons, •whiehi Os we could colle0)•was read•a firbt time, but no specific day nioved fur the, second reading.

Mr. DICKENSON, jun. rose, in pursuance of the notice he had given, to move, That the diffe rent Petitions which had been presented from the Woollen ManufaCturers of Gloucestershire, Somer_ setshire, &e, should be referred to the consideration of a Committee. The complaint which the Peti tioners had submitted to the House was against the operation of some Ads of Parliament which had been made . in the infancy of the Woollen Manufac. tore, and which threw several impediments in the way of the Manufadures at present, particularly in the employment of Apprentices, in the use of Ma. chipery, Sec. by which considerable injurywas sus tained by the Manulatturers. Several attions had been commenced to recover penalties under those Ads,. mid the Manufadurers had been advised that, alder the present circumstances',' no ordinary means of redress wouldluilice, .but that' they' ought to petition the House of Commons 'to refer the said Ads to the consideration of a' Committee. He should, therefore, st ithout further observation, move : that the said Petitions be referred to a Committee.— Agreed to.
