*fhe Hon. Baronet complained of great abuses,
and instanced those of the Writers to the Board of
Ordnance, and the Porter of the Lord Lieutenant,
having claimed compensation for their losses in con-
sequence of the Union.
Mr. V ANSITTAkT said, his predecessor had
prepared a Bill to put an end to that Board, which
it was his invintion to bring.forward in the present
Session ; he therefore moved the previous question ;
which, after a few words from Mr. Cotter aad Mr.
WINn ii AM, was put and carried.
Sir J. NEWPORT then moved, that the said
Board be abolished within six months, which was
also negatived by the previous question.

Mr. CR EEVY mired that the Order of the Day
for the exchange of lists in the Middlesex Eledion,
which stood for to-morrow, be discharged, in order
to give further time to the petitioning Freeholders.
Mr. A. THORNTON objeded to this, on the
ground that Mr. Mainwaring had, according to
the Order of the House, given in a list, and Sir F.
Burdett had not, by which he had gained a great
advantige, and the person who now stood in his
place, would reap the benefit of it.
Mr. FOX thought a few days ought to be given
to the l'etitioners.
It was ordered that the lists be delivered on
Thirrsd 17, and the Petitioa takea into consideration
on Friday next

siderable surplus, as no less than five millions.frad
been voted at. the commencement of the Sessions,
