Lord George Seymour, in answer to the qaestioss put to
him by the Noble Marquis, said that be received their
Lordships' order through the Treasury, be believed es the
12th of March; it was Immediately ordered by the Board to
be reported by the d,lierent persons through whose hands
the original orders of the Commissioners bad passed; delay
was indispensable, as their instructions did sot relate merely
to breakfast powder, hot also to Kiwis that bad been roasted
for the purpose of making the powder. He wished to have
all the arches that had been issued before him before t►e
order of their Lordships less obeyed ; a sweeping answer to
it would not have soswered, as each case stood ou its own
ground; he therefore thonght that it was necessary for his
own justification that returns should be made is detail.
On liar 2311 of March he received •u order of their Lord-
ship., that the return should be made forthwith, it was then
necessary to make es aildilwhal return, but it did not lake
more than two hours to complete it, when it was remitted to
the Treasury. He received • letter from the Treasury, ac-
compaliying their Lordships' order, desiring that the cause
of the delay should he exolsined,which explanation was not
rent tot heT , if there was soy blame to be attached
for that omission, he must take the cause of it on hints. If, as
he did not think he world have been justified in detaining
the return fur the purpose of giving the explanation.
In answer to questions put by Earl GREY, the Noble Lord
said that the retorts required by their Lordships included •
great number of orders. some of which were iu the Exche-
quer, and others in other offices. In cases of special orders,
there were no entries make its the books of the Board of
Excise.

In answer to a question put to him by the Marquis of
Lanadowo, he said there was un communication between
the Treasury and the Board of Excise from the 12th to the
23.1 of Mai ch.
He was ordered to withdraw,

The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, the evidence having
been gone through, it remained with their Lordships to deal
with lice case as they might think proper. In his opinion,
the cause of delay bad not been satisfactorily explained, and
he thought that Lord George Seymour ought to be ■gain
called to the bar and told so by the Speaker of that House;
and also that their Lordships in future expected that their
orders should be punctually obiged.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL would not object if the words
" not satisfactorily explained" were left out.
Earl GREY said, he could not feel that the cause of de-
lay was satisfactorily explained, when it appeared that there
were too regular entries made in the books of the Board of
Excise of their orders to their subordinate officers, and which
appeared to him to be very extraordinary. He was there-
fore of opinion that the delay ought to be marked by the
censure of the House.

After some converssiion, in which the Earl of Liverpool.
the Marquis of Lamelawn, and Earl Grey look part, Lurd
George Seymour was again called to the bar.
The LORD CHANCELLOR addressed him and said—
" 1 am iustructed by their Lordships to iuforns you, that dd.
House in figtere expects its orders to be punctually obeyed,
and that you are at preseut dismissed from any further
attendance.

LurJ George Seymour then withdrew.
BREAKFAST POWDER.

The Marquis of LAN'DoWN said it had been his
intention to have moved for the opinions of the At-
torney ■ud Solicitor-General given to the Board of
Control, on the Acts which induced the Board to
order prosecutions against persons for manufac-
turing and vending breakfast powder made of
roasted grain; but after conversing with the Noble
Earl opposite, at the head of the Treasury, he
would refrain from doing so, but would move for
the number of pro,ecutions and convictions that
had taken place. The Commissioners of Exci►e
had thought they were not only authorised by the
Acts nf Parliament its prosecuting persons for sub.
slitu,ing other articles fur coffee, but also for per-
sous manuracturing and selling all article which
