dale D, relative to the regulation of the export and
import of Corn, and the duties to be paid thereon.
The Bill, as sent from that House, had fixed that
the price should be regulated by the joint prices of
England and Ireland. The Lords had struck nut
of the Hill the Irish price, and made it to be regu-
lated by t!,e price of England alone, which was an
amendment which that House could .not, con.
sustently with its privileges, agree to. It woull
therefore be necessary, that some Member should
move, that the consideration of the Lords' arnzud-
