Mr. P. WOOD argued that as the seversign, or the Prinee
of Weld, were the /sly parties who weed- suffer from the
diem:use:neat, so were they "sly gadded to interfere in
the 'disintegrative details of the dudes of Carswell and
lesdaster. _

Iler R. PEEL observed that it wee unwise, whoa
a man speaking is the House of Commons attempted
to deny the rights of the House of Commons.
The rights of the Hasse of Comma's were very wide and
extensive. Is other sues there was a right to institute an
inquiry, if they thought It, bat the ease of the Duchies of
Lanoaster and Cornwall stood on theorist ground,. It
appeared that is the civil Eat thus properties were reserved
I. the crown. and he thought it much more conducive to the
good tanagement of these properties to leave them in the
adednisfration of the crown. He di i not mean to deny,
that if there wu reason to believe that the revenue
of three properties was applied to corrupt purposes,
or ware badly managed, that that Meld jus-
tify the interference of the House of Commons.
Ravin, some connexion with the Duchy of Cornwall, being
a trustee to receive the ammulations of property invested in
the funds, he mast state his firm belief that there was no
property, public or private, which of late years had be* n
better admisbtered. There being every presumption that
when the prises arrived at his majority there would be an
immolation of funds, he did not think that the Hem of
Commons would do well to appoint a committee of inquiry.
Mr. H. GIBSON said he had it on the authority of the
hog and learned membr r for oxford that the funds of the
, Duly of Laneaster were applied to the 'maintenance of a
defective system, in fast that the courts of justice In the
Duchy were so delestive, that if some reform were not made,
be would himself be antler the necessity of coming to parlia-
ment with measures for their reformation. He (Mr. Gibson)
thought this branch of the question a very important one,
seeing that these courts had separate jursdictions often cleat-
ing with the laws of the realm and occasioning great
public lsoesveniesto. He felt bound to support the mo-
tioaef got het. member fir Tavistock.

Mr. HUME contended that it was within the power of
parliament to make the inquiry now called for. Be ad-
mitted that great improvements bad taken place la the
management of the estates mien the period when almost the
whole revenues faiths Duchies were aborted in the payment
of salaries, bat even at the pro-nt moment 12,0001.
were absorbed for that purpose out of revenues which did not
exceed 30,0001. (Hear, hear.) He thought that inquiry
would be expedient if it were only with a view of seeing
whether they could not consolidate many of the items of
revenue, for in many cues the expensive mode of collection
absorbed the whole of the receipt., was attended with incon-
venience to the parties who pail, and afforded no advantage
to the parties who received. Were he her Pif jeaty, he would
my, by all means let inquiry take place. He
had observed that the annuli tin dues, which amounted to
between 16,0001. and 20,0001., formerly paid by the pro-
prietors, and which formed pert of the nem* of the Hake
of Cornwall women one aeration and all at one removed by
a bill in mugs:neat, and the amount made a shame on the
consolidated had. If they granted inquiry is this cam it
would at least show that there was nothing to conceal, and
therefore he thought the motion of Smite.. member entitled
to the anent of government and the hone.
Lord DUNCAN, after alluding to the inquiries made by
the committee of which he had been chairman, into the um-
magnum% of the Woods and Forests, and thanking the
government for the ample information they had supplied
to that committee, said that he meld not vote for the
present motion, because it appeared to him that of all
institations in the world the House of Commons
was the very want steward foe the management of public
prop.,
Mr. STANFORD opposed the motion.
Mr. TRELAWNY slide one or two observations in
reply, and the motion was nega•ived without a division.
