Parliamentary Proceedings.
House of Commons, IVednefday, January 24.
P PRIVATE business being disposed of,
Gen. Smith rose to remind the House ofa petition which had
been presented by an Hon. friend of his, whom he was sorry
not to fee in his place, but he flattered hirnfelf, that his now
taking some notice of it would not be difhgreeable to the gen
tleman who brought up laid petition; it was from the inhabi
tants of Bengal, Bahar; and Oriffa, signed by their agents here,
complaining of the hardships they underwent, from the mode
of proceeding of the court of judicature cftablifhed a few years
ago under the fandtion of the British Parliament. He thought
it a matter worthy the ferjous consideration of the House, and
that as soon as conveniently could be. m r ;
Mr. Rous rose to second the motion, but being informed there
was no motion, he begged leave to fay a few words in favour
ofbringing the business on as soon as might be, that it might
undergo a thorough investigation. ,
Lord ^orth did not objed to the motion, because several ac
counts had been received of the diffatisfa&ion which reigned
in those places, in consequence of the appointment of said court,
but the matter he understood had already been referred to a
committee. [Here his Lordship was interrupted, being inform
ed, and the minutes read by the clerk, that nothing more had
been done than receiving the petition, and ordered to lye on the
table.] His Lordship concluded with faying, that though ac
counts of abuses committed had been received, yet not of so
enormous a nature as represented by the Hon. Gentleman who
firft spoke ; however, he had no objection to its being speedily
considered.
Gen. Smith rose again, and said he understood that the pro
ceedings of the Judges had been such, that the inhabitants were
obliged to raise an armed force to repel another armed force
lent out bv the Judges of the court. He therefore urged the
rfccflity of appointing the firft open day for the investigation.
He proposed Monday or Tuesday next, but it was at last de
termined that it be considered on Thursday next.
The order of the day being called for, the Speaker left the
chair, and the floufe formed itfelf into a Committee of Supply;
Mr Ord in the chair.
Lord North then rose, and represented, in very pathetic terms
the deplorable situation of the jflands of Barbados and Jamaica,
in consequence of the late hurricanes. That it was his with,
and he entertained no doubt but it was the wish of the House
in general, to give them every possible relief. To grant a sum
fufficient to repair all their losses, would be impracticable ; nei
ther could he learn with precision what it would amount to ;
all he meant was to give immediate affiance to the most dis
tressed. Almost the whole island of Barbados was deftrbyed;
but there were persons who were not reduced to absolute po
verty, and who had the means offubfiftence ; at the fame time
there were others reduced to the last degree of want ; these
were the objects who should firft be relieved. The island
of Jamaica had not fuffered so severe a shock, yet two of the
most opulent parishes had fallen victims to the storm ; however,
they had the opportunity to get provisions from other parts of
the island, which was not the case at Barbados. In a politi
cal or commercial view, perhaps those two parities might firft
claim the attention of the House ; but when it was considered
that the number of poor white inhabitants in the island of Bar
bados exceeded those of Jamaica, and as their case seemed the
most deplorable, and their losses much greater, he was induced
to hope that the House would concur with him in opinion, that
more should be granted for Barbados than for Jamaica; it had
been hinted to him that four times the sum would be necessary;
but from all the information he could get, he thought double
would be the faireft ; this he left to the confidefation of the
committee, and also the sums he intended to propose, as well as
the mode of disposing thereof. What he meant to offer was on
ly for the immediate relief of the mos necessitous, and that provisi
ons, &c. might^e Durchafed here, and conveyed to them with
the utmost difpatert. It was indeed a very fortunate circum
stance that Admiral Sir Samuel Hood had got on board his fleet
a quantity of provisions, which might serve for a few months ;
but if some other assistance was not sent before the month of
June, they must unavoidably fuffer the most poignant dis
tress. In whose hands the diftribntion of the money fliould be
entrifted, he also submitted to gentlemen more conversant in
the business 'than himfelf. He concluded with moving that
80,cool, be granted for Barbados, and ,;40,c0c1. for Jamaica.
Mn. PAteney wished to know from what data his Lordship
had fixed the precise sums of 80,cool, and 40,0001.
To which his Lordship anfwefed, th. t no particular estimate
of the losses bad come to his knowledge, but what was now
proposed, was only meant asa temporary relief; and he under
ftcod it would prove greatly short of the losses, as he had been
informed that they would amount to more than a million,
which wastoo large a sum for Parliament now to grant.'
Mr; Lafwick got up, and read an account of the losses, as
nearly as 'could at present be come at, in the island of Barba
dbs;'he mentioned federal items, which in the whole a
mouritedto 1,050,0001.
Mr. Burke complimented Lord North for the candid manner
in which he had represented this melancholy affair, and his very
ingenuous proposal to leave the mode of diftribntion to the o
pinionAf the House. To fend provisions, materials for build
ing, and tools, in his opinion would be advifeable ; that what
ever sum was granted mould be lodged in the Bank of. England;
and that the planters of the different islands, now in England,
fnould have the direction of what was most necessary to be for
warded to theWeft-India islands; and that an open committee
of the merchants there should have the distribution of them on
the spot, as being most likely to know who, are most in want
of afiißanco.
Sir William Guise hoped the money would be issued without
any deduction.
Lord. North anfiyered, that as soon as the present motion was
disposed of, and also the Jamaica business, he meant to follow
it with a motion for that purpose,
The'queftion being now put that,the sum of 80,0001. be grant
ed to his Majesty, to be disposed of according to his royal will
and pleasure, for the relief of the distressed inhabitants of the
iiTand of Barbados:
Also that 40.000 b be granted for the.fame purpose for the re
lief of the inhabitants of a part of the island of Jamaica;
Andthat thefame sums be paid without fee or deduction:
These resolutions were carried unanimously, and ordered
to be reported to the House by the chairman of the commit
tee.
WHEREAS the following NEGROES have for some time
past been confined in the Provost at Beaufort, at a considera
ble expence; Notice is.hereby given, that if their refpe&ive owners
