The Solicitor General, and Mr. Piggot, were
heard at great length on b :half of the Respondents,
in the Appeal. Cause, Peter Isaac Thellusson, and
others, v. the Rev. Matthew Woodford, and others;
after which the further hearing was adjourned :o
Monday next.
Nine private and four re- timed Bills, were'
brought from the Commons, and presented by Mr.
Cartwright, Mr. Lascelles, !gr. Sect% Mr. Pole,
Mr. Egerton, and others. The nine private Bills
west read a fitst tune.

A Petition from Lady Mary Fitzgerald, stating
a Claim of Peerage, was read, and referred to the
Committee of Privileges.
FORTES DIVORCE BILL.
The Committee on this Bill was resumed, when
some Amendments were proposed in the preamble
of the Bill by the Lord Chancellor, particularly one
affeiiing the settlement on Mrs. 1 oote, the day
before her marriage, on the 21st of January, 1793,
which confined the interest in that settlement to
Mrs. Foote's Children. The Amendments were
agreed to, and the Bill passed the Committee, and
is to be read a third time to-morrow.---Adjourned
till three to-morrow.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
WaDNESDAY, JUNE 15.
Admiral BERK LEY moved the third reading of
the Woollen Clothiers' Bill.

Mr. BROOKE opposed it, on the ground that it
would be passing a Bill on which important evi-
dence had been given before a Committee ; that evi-
dence had been ordered to be printed, but had not
yet been delivered out to the Members. It was
highly necessary they should have an opportunity of
seeing and considering it before the Bill passed into
a law. He therefore moved, that the third reading
should be postponed for a fortnight.
Mr. Kurland and Mr. Dickenson, jun. supported
the motion.

The House divided :

The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time
to-morrow.

The House went into arommittee on the Bribery
o..th Bill, and the report was ordered to be received
to-morrow.
The Weeden Beck, or Ordinance Lands' Bill, was
read a third time.

A petition was presented against the Woollen
Clothiers' Bill, in fav' ur of the clothiers of Glou-
cestershire, Somei ytshire, and Wiltshire, and it
was moved that the petition should be laid upon the
table, and the petitioners heard by their Counsel.
Admiral BERKLEY said, he had attended the
Committee from day to day, ever since it had sat,
and he had heard Counsel upon every point in the
Bill ; it was therefore totally unnecessary to hear
Counsel again.
Mr. Brooke and Mr. Dickenson supported the pe-
tition.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he understood the Bill had
been ordered to be read a third time to-morrow; he
thought this a most preposterous proceeding. It
had been thought necessary that the evidence should
be printed, and yet the Bill had been ordered to be
read a third time before it was printed. He was
persuaded this order must have originated in some
mistake ; he was aware it could not be rescinded to-
day, but he trusted that to-morrow there would be
no opposition to postponing the Bill.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
The Report of the Committee on the Militia
Transfer Bill was received, and the Bill was order-
ed to be read a third time to-morrow.

Mr. DENT said, that it having been stated in the
public prints, that he had agreed to that part of
the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, which related to the exemption of foreigners
from the operation of the tax on property in the
funds, he was anxious to contradict the assertion.
The Hon. Member was called to order.
The SPEAKER said, if he had any complaint to
make against the publication of any part of the
debate of this House, he was at liberty to do so ;
but he was not at liberty to allude to them in any
other way.
Mr. DENT observed, that when the subjea came
under discussion, he should state, that the measure
of exempting foreigners was most unsatisfa,ftory to
him, and he should take the sense of the House on
the subjed.
HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND.

Mr' ISAAC HAWKINS BROWNE moved the
Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself in
a Committee, to consider further of Supply, and
that the Second Report of the Committee on the
state of the Central Highlands of Scotland, should
be referret to the said Committee.
The House resolved itself into the Committee.

Mr. I. 11. BROWNE said, that, as the Report
was in the hands of nearly every Member, it would
not be necessary for him to intrude long upon the
Committee, in order to induce it to adopt the Motion
he had to submit, 4, that 20,0001. be granted to His
Majesty, to enable him to defray the expense of
making roads in the Highlands of Scotland." It
had appeared to the Committee, that alarming Emi-
grations had taken place from the Highlands of
Scotland. This had atisen from the adoption of a
different mode of Agriculture ; which, though it
would eventually be attended with the most favour.
able results, had occasioned what was, undoubtedly
a very great evil. The Emigration was partly at-
tributable to the secret arts of Emissaries. In the Isle
of Sky, which only contained 120,000 inhabitants,
there had been an emigration to the amount of 3000
persons. These were a race of men from whom
the country had derived the highest advantages in
time of war. The great objea in'that part of the
island, was the improvement of the fisheries. One
obstru&ion had arisen from the want of roads ; he
was aware how important it was to use the utmost
circurnspeCtion in granting the public 'money, par-
ticularly at a period when the public were called
upon for such large supplies ; but he thought the
war was a reason-for employing the people in the
Highlands, in a way that would have the effect of
ir*.!pitm them at horn!. He concluded by moving,
that 40,000 should he granted to defray the expence
of making roads and bridges.
Mr. BASTARD said, that at a period like the
present he coltid not consent to Parliatoeur granting
any money whatever, except for the defence at the.
