IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS -FRIDAY, ARBIL ti.

The consideration of the important Appeal Cause, Cathcart,
Bart. v. the Earl of Cassilis, being resumed, Mr 11. Frskiiic
was farther, and at ver! great length, heard on behalf of the
Noble Respondent; farther consideration of the case adjourned
till Monday.
The Bala upon the Table, chiefly of a private or local de-
scription, were rea.l in their several stages, these were ino,tly
third readings; and inecrages were ordered to be sent to ac-
quaint the Curainens therewith.

WEST INDIA ACCOUNTS.
The Earl of SUFFOLK, alter shortly adverting
to a recent communicatioe which he had with a
Noble Secretary of State, then in his place, ob-
served, he should have to move their Lordships
with tripe& to the produetion of certain very im-
portant public accounts. He was aware that docu-
ments of this nature should not in general be pro-
duced, except adequate Parliamentary or public
grounds were laid for their exposition. In the pre-
sent instance, he was confident the ground he should
proceed on was unobjeetionable in these points of
view - it was no less than that of public delinquency,
which, he had season to think,he could make appear,
in case the documents he should forthwith move
for were granted to him ; and this consideration,
without going farther, he would aver, was an ade-
quate and sufficient reason for their produetion.
The Noble Earl then moved, That an humble ad
dress be presented to His Majesty, praying that he
would he graciously pleased to order that there be
laid before the House, an Account of all Monies and
Sums drawn from the West Indies, upon His M
jesty's Treasury, from the Ist of December, 1796,
to the Ist of December, 1802, specifying the amount
of the respefiive drafts, the time of their being re-
speCtively drawn, and the different times of pay-
ment."

Lord HAWKESBURY said, he did not rise to
oppose the motion, the nature of which the Noble
Earl had communicated to him a few minutes since;
but, to express his opinion generally, that documents
of the kind should not be produced, unless some
adequate Parliamentary or public grounds were
laid for such produdinn. Such motions should not
be made, as, he feared, was sometimes the case, idly,
or upon light grounds. For, independent of other
important considerations, it should be recolleded,
that such proceedings induce great inconvenience,
at different public offices, and sometimes so as ma-
terially to interfere with the necessary dispatch of
public business. To the present motion he had no
objedion ; nor did he mean, in any thing said, the
least to call in question the general right of Parlia-
ment,on sufficient grounds, to call for official inform-
ation ; more especially in what (and which was
peculiarly and constitutionally its province), con-
cerned the public expenditure.
The Earl of SUFFOLK acquiesced in the ob-
servations of the Noble Secretary of State. There
was one expression which, he said, he was sorry had
fallen from him, namely, a Motion idly made. This
by nu means could apply to that which he had just
submitted to the House; for, if he were not greatly
mistaken, or misinformed, he could ground, upon
the documents moved for, a charge of delinquency
on the part of the Treasury.
Lord HAWKESBURYexplained, that it was ob-
vious, that what be stated generally could not be in-
tended to apply to the Motion of the Noble Earl,
inasmuch as he expressly stated he did not mean to
oppose it.
The Question was then 'nit, and the Address on,
dared accordingly.
The consideration of the Appeal Cause, Red-
dington e. Reddingtonoras fixed for the 9th of May.
APPEALS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR called the atten-
tion of their Lordships to the great number and ac-
cumulation of Appeal Causes and Writs of Error
which now lay over for consideration, particularly
with reaped to those which came from Ireland and
Scotland. According to the present mode of pro-
ceeding, the attention of their Lordships could not
be regularly drawn to some of these, pethaps for
years. It would be important that some line should
be endeavoured to be .truck out, or some arrange-
ments formed, with a view to the more regular and
expeditious hearing or disposal of these causes, in
reference to the concerns of the parties, as well as to
the business of the House. Uoder this impression,
he should move for the appointment of a Committee
of their Lordships, to take the subjeft, which was
one in every point of view of great importance, into
consideration. In such a proceeding, the order of
rotation for hearing, in which the chtferent cases at
present stood, the respedive general natures of die
cases, and also the places from whence the appeals
were made, should be taken into consideration. It
was his idea that their Lordships who were present
this Session should be empowered to sit in such a
Committee. His Lordship then moved to the fol-
lowing effeet " That a Committee of the Lords
present this Session be appointed to take into con-
sideration the different Appeals and Writs of Error
now pending before the House, with a reference to
a more regular, convenient, and expeditious mode
of hearing and proceeding on the same; and that
the said Committee do commence its proceedings on
Tuesday next."
This proposition meeting the sense of their Lord-
ships, it was ordered accordingly, and the House
adjourned till Monday.
