TIMIST observed, that in this instance the
petitioners took upon themselves to do that in the
tray of petition, which it would be only proper fur
a Member of the Home to dein bis phone, by MO,.

into the birth, parentage, and education of the
'embers •d that Home.
Mr. Battens said, if the petition did not come
vrithie the maps of the Grenville Act, it could only
be rewired ma abetter of course, and no motion
could be made upon it.
- Mr. BATlFllleire saw nothing stated in the petition
to invalidate the election of Lord Dursley. The
trattioa most material, and most peculiarly in-
volved in this petition, was, whether it did or did
not come within the purview of the Grenville Act
This brag a very weighty conaderstion' and im-
portant ea to precedent, he thought it would be bet-
ter to adjourn the discusgien, till Gentlemen could
more fully Inform themselves upon the subject.

to ; lint new cases having arisen, its provisions were

iciest returns;" and 4th." No returns." The third
point was fully canvassed on the limit:kat return
of Mr. Fox for Westeniester. The question theft'
was, whether the complaiat of the present petitien
tame within any of these four deinitiens ? To hint
it appeared that it had so relation to any of them,
as it ackeowledged the election and return to have
been good and complete, and only refetred to a.
posterior act, which, it alleged, voided the seat.
Lard Dursley's net being the eldest son of a Peer,
&old not void his election ; and it come next to
be considered. whether the question of his tonsitiing
to nossoly with the Act 331 Geo. 11: came within
the ec qie of -a petition, or more property ought to
originate in the House itself ? Fur his pert, he
viewed the petilion with no very favourghle aspect,
for the Freeholder' had foregone those righ a. they
*tight before have exercised. and claw etude their
petition a vehicle for scandal, et the same time
avoiding all responsibility. They might have called
on Lord burvtry to produce hi. queliticetiotts et
the elertian.-they alight have voted niftiest him-r
or they might have petitioneld against Isis retarn.--
all that things, as Freeholders, they might hoot
dere. and net mot to the Hewers compisioatits
against an irregularity, which, side more pro..
pretty. would come, en the 'notion for a emu writ,

Hr. Vi'lLucits Wont was of opinion, thug the
pendia meet be received in some way, either as
ste election petition, or as en allegation of the
Patideaccl, Spigot sit irregolastly, which, by Act
of Parliement, rendered void thorns* of their re-
preseatative. He stated his view of the meaning of

The Csaacatima of the Eiciitgtma agreed

baptised Thomas Fitzhardiag Berkeley, on 19th

tioners allege that William Fetsharding Berke-
ley (caliing himself Lord Dursley) was adt the
eldest sea and heir apparent of Earl Berke-
by, and hot having fulfilled the Act, had voided
his peat in Parliament.

Mr. SWAN, before moving that the petition
should lie upon the table. begged tostatei that he
took upon hisself no respons.latity, as to proviug
the truth of the allegatious contatned iu the peti-
tion.

---
Mr. C item thonghts that the Member who
undertook to present such a petition its this, ought
to have been ready at least to point out the Ermine
lie would advise tae House to pursue. With ro.
specs to the iselitiou itself, it was very faulty ; and
erso,S.,g to them to prey ter redress of a grievance, it
stated some facts, while tt omitted others eqnally
notorious and well kris% u. This wet not the wiry to
promote justice; and he would take the liberty of
supplying a fee of these facts which had acciden-
tally came to his knowledge. The petition stated
the marriage of 1790, but it totally omitted to
notice, what it was impossible the petitioners should
not be equally well acquainted with, namely, that
in the register of the parish cherch of Berkeley,
where they midriff, there sat an entry of a pre-
vious marrisee, of Earl Berkeley and Mary Cole,
in the year 1765. This must be known to the pe-
thinners, sa it was the common topic of the country
during the election, and hail been openly discussed
in the House of Lorills.—The seine registers iu
1787, continued the entry of the baptism of Lord
Dursley, and opposite te, it an entry that he was
the 'collimate child of that marriage, concealed for
reasons known to the parties. This must have
been equally notorious to the prtitioaers, as it was
peblkly advettised in the county papers. together
with the oath laud certificate for the second marriage.
As for that circumstance, it alma from a suppura-
tion, at the time, that the documents to prove the
engine' marriage were irretrievably lost; end Earl
Berkeley, iu order to remedy it as far as possible.
acted. as he did, tender the advice of the best
lawyer. iu the country. He was, in general,
frieadly to receiving the petitions of the subject ;
but he was the less averse to return the present. Is
the petitinnera would thereby sustain no injury.—
They might yet frame anoilerr petitions to bring
the ease within the Grenville Acts as the 14 days,
thereby allowed. did not expire till Holiday. lu
that case, the petitioner, would be liable to pains
and penalties, if their allegations were frivolous;
but. in the present case, their scandal was propa-
gated, without the riek of responsibility, and with-
out the House being able to come to au adjudica-
tion of the question. Ile, therefore, opposed its
being laid ou the table.
_ . . .

Tie CIIANCELLOR of the EICIMQVZI asked the
Hon. Giontleruso if he had shy view that it ors
opew to the petitioners to bring their petition within
the Greneille Act, as that was a very important
comiiieration

Mr. CALCRAST replied, that he spoke merely
from a ennaideratioa of the time not tieing elapsed,
The remarked, that that
most entirely depedd on whether the nature of the
petition cause within the Grenville Act or Dot. If
it did, the lament petition might as well take that
course as any other that could he framed. In his
opinion, it did rwee sod could not come within that
Art. The Home would then bate to consider,
whether, on its ono grounds, they would reject or
inquire onto the allegations its the petition ?
whether they would tefer the same to a Committee.
of hivileires ?or take any other course to afford an
►rjured individual an opportunity for jostitiestinii,
and to vindicate hi• character from the aspersions
cast open it? This required mature deliberation,
and he therefore moved the adjournment of the dim
cumion till Tuesday.

The SPEAKS'S' Fwd. it would be his duty to no-
tify this formally to Lord ponder ; and af'er a few
explanatory remarks from Mr. Wens, Sir Juni
A NIITILVT/1111, and Mr. Soaemea, who observed
that the tAth of the King was the only othrr
Act which bore on the ca■e, the wljournewent

Ran INDIA AFFAIRS.

Mr. nVIIIDAS moved, . That the Ih•n•e should
R • into 74 Committee nu the alien of the I::sst Lam
Company."
Mr.l7lllEVa% opposed the motion. on the ground
that all the papers Detweary for their information
nn this subject. (sad particularly one ordered to
be printed tea days ago), were not in the hands of
Members. He then denoted the number of appli-
cations made for relief by the Company, within the
trait thirty year. ; and contended, that before they
were indulged in the ninth application now intend-
id to be made for 1.50u.0001., the House ought to
see in what state their affairs were, and what sects-
nty they could gne for the money.
Mr. Daunts declined entering into the general
a-gement. which the lion. Gentleman wished to
introduce. From what had fallen from the Hon.
Gentleman. it certainly rppestred that he was in
want of mote information on the subject; but, he
trusted, hr would b► able to pr•tdnre as much as
would sati•fr the Committee, and induce theta to

After a few °beer •ations from Mr. and
Lord Mlon►CTV. the House divided:

Upon re-entering the g.llery, we found the
House in the Committee. and Mr. DVIIMAS on his
lees. He ovum', that the question b.-fore the House
lIPS. whether • certain sum should he ranted to
the !a•t India Company. in their present state
of ernharrswiment and distress II- impresses!.
sir ingly. the Deets its of grantiug such relay'. as
the appeal was to the liberality, as well as to tilt'
jiastice, of the Howse. It was not his wish that the
should come to the adoption of any getters!
•r•tetn. at pre•enr. w th regard to the Fast India
Company, u it was iatisuioio to rue *loather

any sytern coot] he of say positive and dorable 'm-
urk ; or-whether, if the system was of promiaing
appearauce, it could be at all adopted ; but he
hoped that, before the terminatioa of next session,
'a plait would be adopted, which would elfertualii
trouser the ineonveseitticirs to whiclt this 'object weal
exposed. The Company would be enabled to stud in
their accounts regularly after the present period.
and there would not exist the same cause., for com-
plaint which had, up to the present tittle, beau
so very numerous. It appeared strange to some
Gentlemen that the House should advance a
sum of money to the DireCtors, and limit the
payment to a certain time ; but he wished that
such should be the conduct of the House, as it was
most desirsble that the accounts should be pro,
duced with resttlarity and putictuality. With it,
spect to the mean. which the Company had of re-
paying the sum, it was aboard to entertain a doubt
of their capabiltty of discharging a sum of vastly
greater magnitude thou that %shoat he would pro-
pose to the COMmittee. It was evident to every
body, that if goods to the amount of 6 or 8,000,0001.
the property of the Conapaity, were under the im-
mediate eye of the Croviu, that such property would
flatly defray the loan of 1.500,0001. and that it
wail Instantly be appropriated to that purpose.
He then stated. that in the year 1747 the expeia-
ture in India amounted to 3,•203,00u1. ; io the
year 1771 it was reduced to the sum of 130,0001.
and in the years HMS and ISo9, the surplus
of the revenue amounted to iod,ooo'. The ex-
penses of the military eatablishineuts were largt,
and other 'eatithlishments were proportionally
increased; and the East India Company had a
larger amount of email in their possession Duce the
last accounts from India. than ever they had at
arty period before. The Cump my wets, therefore,
very well able to reimburse the sum to eoveroment.
He did sat conceive it necessary to have so expen-
sive a military establishment u. lola as existed
there ; and it would be a matter of great conve-
nience. if the Company were to take upon itself the
responsibility for the expenses of that e.tablish-
ment. The Company'. debt in India, in the
year 1906. was 2900(0001.; in the year 1107.
30,009,0001.; in lOUS, 32,000,0101. ; in the course
of last year the amount decreased the sum of
1400,0001. ; the surplus was to go to defray the
amount borrowed from Govetumeut. With re-
spect to vie Trade of Inch% that could. he hoped,
be regulated, when the question would cone mt.
nutely• before the House. He then moved g. That a
sum. not etcerding 1300.0001. be granted towards
the relief of the 17.44-inil'a Company."
Mr. Canvey siid, that the balances made by
the Company sainted themselves. in the year 1508.
amounted to 14 350,0D01.; in 1810. to 15007,3011.
nearly three muttons worse ; so much for the inac-
curacy of the statement respecting the [banishing
state of the Company. In fact. the Company
could not give proper security for the repayment of
the Loan, and bad, before this, forfeited all their
engagements.
Mr. Domes explained. He denied that the
Company had forfeited their encasements. They
had, on the contrary, Mulled all those which they
had ever made.
Colonel *Lace said, that all his confidence in
the Last India Company was deatteytd.
Mr. GBOROI6 JOHNSToce supported the motion.
He agreed that the asilitery est datishinent in India
should be reduced. with respect to expense, but
not with respect to cumbers.
Mr. theme said, that the Company had been
Very.much misrepresented. He did not know iii

PRIIIIDERtiAn said, that if the documents
fur which he had morsd had been produced. the
subject of the trade of th• 61111111411 y would bare
brew mote folly understood. lie supported the
motion.

Lord Moment' conceived i that the Company had
ou the labevoltty of the public, and he,
therefore, would vote for the tWietIOU.

Mr. Csattte opposed the Loan. He said, that
the East India Company wasted only by the apathy
of the Hoot*, ■od toe public, and was of opinion,
that instead of coniin4 to Parliament, they should
use the power which they lied under the 37th of the
King.
