Admiral MARKIi.k34 observed, that as the mislay n( the
timber depended on the places from which it was brought,
arid therefore without the names of the place., the papers
would be incJam!ete, and no accurate judgment could be
formed on them. For his own part, lie said he saw nn objec•

NIIDOLESEY ELECTION.

Mr. P. MOORE said, he bad to present to the
!louse a Petition, which had been put into his
hand.. upwards of two months since ; but which
he deferred bringing foreited before, in hopes that
some accommodation might take place. lie gave it
to the Solicitor of the party. against whom the
claim was made; but, Lading that notlimg had
been done in it, and being mac% intreatel by the
persons interested, he moved for its Wing hionght
up; which, being agreed to, and the Petttion real
by the Clerk ; it purported to he from a number of
persons summoned to give evidence before the Com-
mittee of the House of Comm ens, in the late
Middlesex Eleslion. ft stated, that they hail
accordingly attended from day to day, from the
19th of February, to the close of the Committee,
for which. as they had received no payment from
the public, they prayed the House that they should
be allowed a compensation.
The SPEAKER observed, that the words of the
Petition were of a general nature, and therefore were
capable of a double interpretation. It the parties
prayed to be paid at the public expense, the Petition
would be inedmissihle ; bit if they meant only to
pray. that the House should compel the CAn&d.ttes
to pay their own Witnesses. it perfeeTly regular.
The only precedent which occurred on the Journals
applicable to this, since the Grenville Mt, was the
case of Cailide. in which the parties were urdeied
to pay their own witnesses.
Mr. MOORE said, that was the only objet the
Petitioners had in view. Upon which.
The SPEAKER said. that declaration was suffi-
cient. and, after the precedent was read, the Petition
was refened to a Committee.

notice he had given upon the subjed report f.om
this day se'nnight, to a more distant day. His in-
tention was to have deferred it no longer th.tn till
Monday se'nnight; but ha►irg been since informed
that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite him (Mr.
Pitt) could not conveniently be present on that day,
he was induced to alter his notice to next Tuesday
se'nnight.

power being abused.
Mr. ALEXANDER defended the Bills and cos•
tended that the tenure of t'hurch property would br
