HOUSE OF LORDS.
aursoar, MAY 10.
Mr. CLERK was heard in behalf of the Appel.
lant, in the Appeal Cause, the Carron Company v.
John Ogilvie, Esq. of Gaindoek ; after which the
further hearing of the Counsel was adjourned till to-,
morrow.
Upon taking the Report of the Committee on the
Edinburgh Road Bill into considera,ion, the Duke
of Norfolk made a short speech against it, and the
House divided, when the numbers were,
Contents t 5
Not Contents 15'
The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time
on Thursday.
Five private Mils were brought up from the Com-
mons, by Mr.. Brown and others, presented, and read
a first time.
MARKHAM'S DIVORCE BILL.
The House resolved itself into a Committee on
Dean Markham's Divorce Bill; when Lord Auck-
land moved the omission of the last clause in the Bin,
which was agreed to ; and the Bishop of St. Asaph
moved to leave out those words of the Preamble
which went to bastardise the legitimate issue of the
marriage. Lord Alvanley and the Lord Chancel-
lor said a few words each in relation to this motion,
which was carried, and the words ejected. —The Re-
port was then made.
The various Bills on the Table were then read
their respective stages.—Adjmrned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

• TUESDAY, MAC 10.
Mr. CROFT
' presented a petition from certain
Clerks of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, pray-
lig:For compensation for the losses they would ex-
perience in their emoluments, in consequence of the
*Bill for regulating the Proceedings of Courts of
Law in Ireland. Ordered to lie on the Table.
The Report of the Committee which sat yesterd ty
to consider of the improvements to be made in tie
port of London, was brought up and agreed to.
• Sir WILLIAM ANDERSON theu obtained
leave to bring in a Bill upon the said Resolutions.
CORONER'S BILL.
On the Order of the Day for the third reading of
the Bill, permitting Magistrates to make to Coro-
ners an allowance of one sliiihag and sixpence in-
stead of uinepence a mile for travelling expences,
being read,
General TARLETON said, that he had not in-
terfered in any of the former discussions on this Bill,
and nothing but a sense of duty- would have induc ?.d
him on the present occasion to break the silence he
had hitherto imposed upon himself. He could not,
however, very patiently endure applications of this
kind at a crisis like the present, when there were so
many persons of a different description more de-
serving of compensation for their services, than such
a class of men as the Coroners of Counties. He
would not mention all that may be said on the subjea
of the Army and Navy, but take a much narrower
view of the subjeia. First, let them consider the
situation of Captains in the Army. On starting int a
life they paid 3001. for their commissions. When ca
full pay they had an income of 1401. a year, and
after passing their youth in proteaing the interests
and exalting the glory of their country, when put
upon half pay, they had to retire into some cheap
part of the country with no better provision than
from 70 to 801. per annum. Such was the situa-
tion of Captains in the line, after a life of honoura-
ble service, that the emoluments they were entitled
to could not be the objc of any point of envy or
competition. But with regard to Coroners, there
was always sure to be a contest in every county,
whenever a vacancy occurred. They now demanded
remuneration, because, instead of riding on horse-
back, they preferred making their journies in a gig;
while officers, who seal with their blood the renovi a
and glory of their country, surgic•in silent and hum-
ble poverty to their tombs. 'i,.'t, under all thesedis-
advantages, this was not the piaiod when those brave
rrrn would wish to burthen the country with de-
mands for
