STAMP DUTY DILL.
Upon the first reading of the above Bill, Lord
/loci..tau said, that altitough it was not usual to
htire taxed Bills printed, yet iie conceived that
the present embraced many other provisions, which
were of the greatest important e to the landed in-
terest, he therefore trusted that there would be no
objection io this particular inatance to have the
Bill primed.
The Earl of Lattnr.nocts contended, that al-
though this bill was entitled a tax bill, it contained
provisions of a totally different nature. It con-
tained several clauses iu ?covert to Aids of Ex-
change sod securities rriardmg land.
After some further observations (root the Duke
of Noartax and Lord ILI w&i.o.svoirrp
Lord HOLLI-.D said, that he hoped the Noose
would not deem his cooduct pertinacious ; it Wail a
subject of great ilia portanee. He should therefore
move, " That the bill be printed."
A division took place, when there appeared.

consequence of his age and great infirmities.

IRISH BANK CHANTER BILL.
The Earl of LAUDEaDALS ruse to state, that
haviog carefully perused this Irish Houk Charter Bill,
shape woo vise clause wlvitifi It Was linvosiiible for
Jinn to understand bow far its legal effect could he
extended to the 13. ink of Ireland. There appeared
upon the far* of it a complete bull, which he
t!iought never could have proceeded from the head
or the mouth of eu Irishman.

The Earl of LIMERICK rose to order. He raid,
that as long as he maintained a seat in that House,
lie would never hermit nor tolerate in debate any
such national reflection. The Noble Earl might
-wife, but be could assure him be was serious ou
this forename.

The Ead of LAVDMIDALI disavowed any inten-
tion on his part to give the smallest offence. He
did not consider that w►at Oar termed a bap (-BA
Any discredit upon the natives of Ireland. Very
often such etpressanis as were so termed, arose from
a fertile imagination, and from u clopisius flow of
language, winch remained sentiments highly his-
nostrable. Such reflections he war in the habit of
hearing upon his own provincial dialect, on that
part of the kingdom from whence hi, tum4rif came.
h 4 then argued, that the clause he had referred to
required that the Judges should be called in to 4ive
their *pinion on the third reading.
The Loan CSANCIMLOII declined giving his
*pinion upon /hat particular clause. But he
thought it would be irregular to call for the opi-
nion of the Judges. before the Bill passed into a
law.. It was for that House to use its own words of
legislation, and not to apply to the Judges to inter-
pose- their node of expreedon.
Lord HULLAISD was fully aware that it had been
the constant practice of that House to ask the opi-
nion of the Judges upon similar occasions to the
prevent. . - -

The Earl of LAIMIZIttIAtt.O observed, that the
Noble and Learned Lord had cautiously abstained
from coming to the point in respect to the clause.
It reminded him of a 'ton, related by another
Noble and Learned Lord (Erskine), Who stated,
that once a lnnatic appeared in the ('enrt of King's
Bench, having brought an action against the
korper of a private mad-home, and bring exa-
named by that Noble and Learned Lori in respect
to his insanity, be took care to avoid speaking upon
any thing which born a reseninlaoce to the: tapir,
upon which he alniuys discoventd insanity ; it was
repeatedly attempted to bring him to this point,
but in vain. This lunatic as cautiously avoided
coining to any point on that subject, as the Noble
Lord on the Woolsack had been ion respect to this
particular clause.
GRAIN PREVENTION DISTILLERY BILL.
Upon the order of the day for the oscond reading
of this Bill,

Earl BAT:snare rose sod described the paces-
say which had introduced the present measure.
Their Lordships would tale into consideration that
it appeard, from the Report of the Committee,
that there was too much reason to apprehend, that
if the distillation from corn was continued, it might
have tend xi ti, produce a scarcity in this Country.
The event., of war had prevented us from euter-
taicing the hole- of supply from any of the nations
of Europe. It would alai be reeollectcd, that for
