The Earl of SHAFTESBURY was not going to
arms nay assesdatent, became this was to be con-
Waal a supply bill, and just at the prevent roo-
mette it was Roll desirable that they should raise the
au. dim et the rights of the house as to supply bills Attbe
present ailed he refrained from making any motion, bet
eke public mutt see that if restrictions were
isapoied upon the free action of that home it would be
very &tn.:metal indeed to the public service. Reserving
his rv-oual ~pinion as to the right* and privileges of the
=yielding ooly to the circumstance, in which they were
sod believing it to be an infringement of their rights
mid privilev.ei to be debarred from making any amend-
ment in this bill, he abstained from moving any amend-
ment.

The Earl .f WICKLOW did not know why Scotland and
should be deprived of a benefit of this kind, for he
vall.r.tocdthe priseipie of this bill to be that it was to induce
the po ople of this country to substitute a more wholesome
beverage for that fie spritual beverage—(a laugh) —to
which they were now sgeostomed
The Earl of DONOUGHILORE said he understood that
t►is was to be treated as a supply bill, and he was very sorry
I. bear it, betamee the greater part of the bill related to
matters with nerd to which that house was in the habit of
legislating. H. agreed with the noble earl (Earl Shaftes-
buryl that this was not a proper time to enter into a dis-
mission of the privileges of the House of Lords, and, there
fore, ho should be very unwilling to introduce any amend-
ment

Tree Earl of HAIL RENGTON said this was a mixed ques- •
tics, partly lima and partly otherwise. He did not object ,
to the free taste part of the bill ; bat what he objected to
was the new licensing system. Intoxicating drinks were
the great causes of imammility, of irreligion, and disease ;
awl this bill would**. crime more within the mach of
the people. He denied that light wines, as they were
called, were so innocent a beverage as they were said to be.
Beer contained only eight per cent. of alcohol. but wine
contained from 10 to 40 per cent. The most eminent
authorities were agreed in stating that the people of this
country taxed themselves to the amount of more than 50
millions a year for wine, spirits. beer, and tobacco, and he
deprecated any mews which would place alcoholic drinks
more within the reach of the people.
Bari GRANVILLE would not again raise the gnu'
lion of conditutional privilege. This bill no doubt
erne the partly of a fiend character, and partly one which
@Redid general policy. Their lordships, however, could
dud with the latter portion only by amending car expunging
the clangs, relating thereto, and it was the invariable Sm-
ite, of the House of Common, to consider themselves
obliged to reject any bill of this kind which hail been so
amended. Of course it might then be open to the govern-
ment in the other house of parliament to re-introduce
the bill, but it would only be worth while to
adopt that course in order to attain some very
mapwtant object. A noble Iced had @mewed kis wish to
mike an alteration in the bill, with a view to give the
rez magistrates the same powers with regard to wine linemen
that they Dow maimed with to public-home. Bat the of the main objects of bill was to diminish
thou, very powers. At present the magistrates took upon
themielres to decide what number of public-houses were
accessary in a district, and the result war • mono-
poly injurious to the mummer, and not beneficial
to the public morals. Therefore one of the great
advantages of the bill was that it would make • change in
that system, and any amendment to the effect which the
noble lord proposed could not be agreed to. Another noble
lord had railed an objection, that it was hard for Ireland
and Scotland to be excluded from the benefits of this bill,
amd his noble friend hail volunteered an answer to that, say-
ing that when the bill was first introduced it did apply to
Ireland and licetland„ but that the Irish and Scotch made
each an opposition to it, that the government found it he
prosible to mmatain that point. Unfortunatelf , this was quite
wroag, and his noble friend had been greatly math/onset
Ireland and Scotland were not in the bill orighudly. He
believed that in Ireland opinions were divided as the
subject, some being in favour of the bill them, and
MOO against it ; hut in Scotland all the opinions be bed
heard were strongly in favour of it. According to the meal
preoedeet, when this bill had been Famed for England, a
'Millar bill would 1 iotmiluced, applicable to Scotland sad
to Ireland, with such modifications as might be desirable
on /tomtit of the different police regulations and other cir-
cumstance of the country.
The house then went into committee on the bill.
The lid of HA ktlahiGTON drew attention to the 13th
