been provided too largely. In many cases they
bad been provided rather too narrowly. He would
ask then, how could that House vote taxes to the
amount of twelve millions, as proposed to be done
by the Bill upon tie table, and at the same time de-
prive the body of the people of Christian instruction,
by acknowledging that the Legislature, from pover-
ty, is unable to supply it ? Without dircharging
this first duty, Government, it was true, might be
maintained for a time, and our aims might prove
vhslorious, as he hoped in God they should ; but the
constitution could not be maintained long, if, in-
stead of providing, for the deficiency, we should
only add to it. This he conceived to be the case of
the present Bill. It appeared that the law as it stood
was defedive ; but it was evident that the provisions
of the present measure would defeat their own
purpose. as they would
.put the Clergyrr.cn in a
state of rivalship with little farmers, which would
deprive him of all tl:e respell due to his charaeter.
It was the duty of the State to remove this objec-
tion by some considerable aid cut of the public
purse, to supply the peceslary cases of deficiency.
A fund of 200,0na1. for the augmentation of small
livings, he thought, might be sufficient for the pur-
pose.—He wished the state of the country would
admit of a larger suni, but short of that, he thought,
would be of no use. He objected to the discretionary
power given to Bishops. It was cruel to impose a duty
upon them that required themto sayto apoor Clergy-
man, " you must farm, or you must starve." It was
impossible for the ablest Bishop to discriminate the
merits of every case. The Bill was also crefedive
in not providing an augmentation for the support of
the small livings, without which, residence in runny
cases was impossible ; and he farther objefted to
the large class of exceptions. Upon the whole he
objeded to the Bill, because, it increased instead of
reducing the evils which it proposed to remedy.
For these reasons he moved the other orders of
the day.
Lord ELDON said, that all the objections of the:
Noble Lord had been already sattifaitorily an-
swered. He then went into the detail, and contend-
ed, that though the measure was not so complete as
he could wish, that was no reason why it should be
rejected. It was Surely better to adopt the measure
than to go back to the Act of Henry VIII.
Lord GRENVILLE, in explanation, admitted,
that the At of Henry VIII. was defeetive ; but he
.contended, that the mode proposed was not the right
mode to cure it.
Lord ALVANLEY wished the Report should be
received, although he had some doubts whether the
Bill did not go too far in repealing the whole of the
Aa of Henry VIII.
The Earl of ROSSLYN urged the abuses cam.
Mined under the Ad of Henry VIII. as ten-
;tiering sonic new regulation absolutely necessary.
, lord ikUC LA 1) said; that conceiving the
Bill only a part of a system, and that it would be
temporary, he should vote for it. Ile suggested
five years as a proper time for its duration.
Earl GROSVENOR thought; that if the .Bill
was not permanent it would be of no use, as the
Clergy would not lay done plans for conforming to
it.
The Motion was then put and agreed to, and the
Report was received.
The House then proCeeded to revise the several
clauses.
• Lord GRENVILLE objeded to the clause
blind the Bishop to grant a liceeee to a Cfergytnan;•
to hold a farm for lots maintenance and sUppei-t; a.sl
giving too great a latitude to the Bishop. He''
thereiore moved, as an amendment, that the words
a for the accommodation of his household."' be
substituted for the words 6, ar.aintenance sad sup-
port." After some conversation, the Amendment
vvas.agreed to.
•
A leg conversation took place on'the Clause al-
lowing, Spiritual Prisons to grant Licences for three
months Non-residence.
Lord GRENVILLE strenuously opposed this
Clause, as allowing Parish Priists to cut short one--
foarth of their duty every yeas.
At length the House divided, on a Motion of
Lord Grenville, that the Clause be rejected.

the Sinking Fund of England bo:t to it's. The system
of increasing the National Debt of am country, be,
yond what is absolutely requisite for the necessities
of the State, must be detrimental in the extreme;
but when he considered that in addition to the in,
creased debt, the c(msequence would be oflaying the
foundation and accelerating the period When Ire..
land should be compelled, under the terms of the
Union, to pay equal taxes with England, he con-
sidered' it a most rJinous sjstem for that country.
Ireland was a rising countrX; but England was est
rived at the highest state of perfeCtion in trade, com-
merce, and manufaCtures. Fle.deprecated, there-
fore, the arrival of that day, when the trade and
manufaCtures of Ireland should be obliged to pay
equal taxes with the trade and manufaftures of Eng:
land ; he knew that they could not bear i; In or-
der to prevent which, he wished a larger pioportio
of the supply for Ireland was raised within the year,
by a tax upon property, similar to that which was
adopted as a war tax in England.. By such a mode
of proceeding, taxes should fall in 'lreland; is they do
in this country, chiefly upon the rich; and the trade,
commerce, and manufatlures of Ireland, would :lin
be burthened more tharithe necessities of the State
required.

A Quarterly General Court was held, when the
Minutes of the last Court were read, and a Report
of the last Ballot for a Dire:lor.-
The CH A I Rl6l AN (Mr. Bosanquet) stated, that the
first business of the General Court was, to decide
upon a resolution which the Court of Direifors lia4
come to, as to the half-year's dividend, from the
sth old anuary to the sth of July. The resolution of
the Dire tors, that the half-year's dividend he five
and a half per cent. upon the question being rot,
was agreed to.
A copy of the papers of the Annual Indian A 6
counts, laid before Parliament, in conformity= to the
ACI of Parliament, was laid before the Proprietors,*-
and the titles of the different heads read to die Ge-
neral Court. .
Mr. ROCK moved to have the Account of the lii.
dian Debt read at large,
'roe CliAtassAN said, that the papers were lajd
before the General_ :Court, in conformity to the Att
of Parliament, but that they. were not so laid before .
the Proprietors with any idea that they mere on that
day to go into a deliberation on them. The Court
was a Quarterly General Court, called for the pr.
pose of declaring the half year's dividend, and that
nine Proprietors. bad sent a letter, 'signifying their,
intention to propose to make 4 motion to grant qtt '
annuity of 3001. a year to George Tatem, Esq. late
a Direaor. He conceived, therefore, that no other -
business could properly.cotne before the Court, but
the two that were advertised. The paper had beeit
read short, which was,consorturt.to the general or-
der of proceedings in that Court ; and he 'could not
depart from the usual order of proceedings, unless_
the majority of the Court signified it to be their wis'fi,
that the paper should be read at full length.:
Mr. 'bocci Roc is said, the permitting any pa-
pers to be read short, was a: matter of indulzenee
granted by the General Court to the Egretitors for
the saving of time, and for convenience.; but that
when any Proprietor desired a paper• to be read -it •
large in that Court, he bad an undoubted right to
have it so read. • -. • -., • -
The CH AIRMAN said, he cbuld,onlv,sey, that if it'
was the general wish.of the Court to have it read at '
large, the only fit mode of proceeding would be to
put a questicni upon it,. and let the majority-4 the.
Court determine •whether it should be readoOftese
or not. , • . - ' •• f..r. ••• •:
