the exviratiosi and the time when the new hill re-
ceived the rapid assent. This might, therefore, to-
duce the ilist.llers to distil from corn, even torso
short apc lad. Besides, the (louts on sugar, iu
the interval, would certainly accrue, by former sta-
totes, and that iiicou‘eitience was nst remedied by
the act of the .Idtii Ciro. 111. to which he had al.

to titeii being heard at the bar; which, 11l this
entergeucy, might very well take place after the
visaing of the bill; and, if their Lurdships should
rein ste the subject is a different view, after that

rhe Earl 'of HIADWICKE had only to notice the
Litter part of what had been stated by the Noble

objection to the petitioners being heard, for he
should afterwards move, with * stew to examine

passing the bill. he thought it woult be best to
exanhue first, and then to decide on the measure.

Tnv Earl of LAIIDIBILIAT.II declined entering at
this time much at length Into the orgutaents

by the Noble Earl oppoote. la fact, there were
different opinions on the subject ; but using a mode
of argutocit, which Mai inn at all tittles the won

AS to the Act of 48 (ho. 111. ; but he should think
it would not apply to the present Bill, tor • it was
made with a view to a Bill which was brought in
for the purpose of continuing a former Act. In
such MN. he should imagine the Bill ought to Ire

before them was considerably different from the
