Mr. Peter Moore and others.
The Rills on the t4hle were forwarded, an! the
'Plbent adjourned tall to.morfow.

Mr. Morroan, frhist Commissioners of the
Customs in Scotland, presented at the bar certain
accounts moved for on a former day, relative to
corn, flour, meal, ificc. imported into and exported
from Scotland, coast ways.
Mr. ROSE called the attention of ttie House to
so much of the Aft of the 43d of the King, as re-
lated to the sale of East India goods, taken as
prizes. Some of these goods had been carried into
Liverpool, and there it was found they could not be
sold ; because the Aft said, that all East India good:
must be sold in London. To send them, however,
, all site way from Liverpool, was found to be pro-
duftgre of great inconvenience and erpence; and, in
ordef to-save the parties from such a difficulty, it
would be necessary to bring in a Bill to enable such
goods to be sold at Liverpool.
The Hesse then, on the Motion of Mr. Rose,
resoLved itself into a Committee, to take that AO
intolonsideration;,and posed a Resolution, that
it v*ttld betespedlent to bring in a Bill to amend
so rereiche of the said Aet, as to permit East India
minis goods to be sold in Liverpool. The Report
being received, and agreed to by the House, leave
was rosin to bring in the Bill.
On the Motion of Me; ft* um:ass Battens, the
Committees of Supply and Ways and Mears were
pot off till Priday.
Mr. GUIROOR presented a Petition from John
Dayman, under Sheriff of Cornwall, who is now 'en
the custody of the Serjeant at Ants; stating, that
his having sent up a double return from Liskearch
on the 9th of March last, proceeded entirely from
inesperienee, and not from any intention of violat-
ing the privileges of Parliament;. that, for this int-
r vet asked.pardon of thc lionses and
he humbly prayed, that the House wneld extend
their indulgence to him in his present sittintion.
Mr. GRZOOR then no wed, that Mr. JJhn Day-
man be brought up to-morrow, in order to be dis-
charged.
s! r. ROSE. said, he did not mean to make the
slioinest opposition to the Motion. He did think
that the transaftion in which this man had been in-
volved was one of that nature, which, if the House
passed over without some mark of censure, it would
Abandon its privileges. He was ready to admit that
there were many circumstances of extenuation in
this man's case, which might call fur the indulgence
of the House ; and he hoped the example, which his
case now afforded, would have its due effelt in pre-
venting a like offence, on the part of others.
The Motion was then agreed to.
On the Motion of Mr. Foam, the House re-
solved itself into a Committee on the Linen Duty
Exemption Bill. The Repon to be received to-
morrow.
Mr. EOSTEIf moved the Order of the Day for '
the House to resolve itself into a Committee to con- '
sider of the Linen Trade. And the House being in
a Committee, he said, the measure which he had to
submit to the consideration of the Committee em-
braced three material objeets. In the firs place, he
meant to propose an alteration in the mode of ap-
pointing Linen Inspecctors iu Irehind. The Trustees 1
there had now the power of appointing four In-
speelors ; hut it would be necessary to give thcm a
further power to appoint others in their stead, if it
should S. necessary; in crier to guard against any
frauds that might be prataised ill the inspelion of li-
nens. The next regulation was ont which concerned
England ; and the übjei of it was, to give speedy
redress, when it should be required, to ;sautes
complaining slate had eitrAlity of linen. When a
complaint of this Lind was niade in Ireland, the
trustees of the Linen Board Fad the power of sum-
moning all the parties, and reftnitrig the mutter in
dispute to two or three persona, whose bnsiness it
was to esamine the Linens. rani to see if they were
darnaged, woound, or ; ao.i were to give a
decision on oath, which decision on oath was binding
on the parties. This stenTreLley mode of proceeding
prevented mach litigation, and produced very Woe-
ficial It was his intention to propose the
adoption of a similar system in London, for the
purpose of protesting the English purchasers of
Linen against any frauds whatever, as to the quality
of the goods. The Linen Board of Dublin bad an
agent residing here ; and whenever a complaint was
made against the quality of Linen, brought Veer
here from Ireland, it would be proper to invest this
agent with a poster to examine persons on oath. in
the tattle Manner as was done in Dublin, as to the
state of such Linen. Tie Linen must be produced
before two persons, who should be sworn to give
a fair 'and impartial decision. The agent .leery
should hay* in this reme.3 the same power as possess-
ed by the Trustees in Dublin. The parties in Ireland
might appeal against the decision cf this Tribunal,
but, if they did, it must be at their own tisk ; and if
they did not succeed in the appeal, they must ply all
expenses which they had pot the others to. Tlx

ensure tlieettuality of the Linn!. The bleacher; cf
Ireland had lately made an Alteration in the triode e f
bleaching linen ; instead of potash, they emplisytd
an ingredient called muriatie acid. It was said by
many persons, that this considerably injured the
quality of the linen ; althongh it had the offer of
bleaching much scones; and it was thought the use
of it ought to be discouraged. Or dn. subjear he
could give no other opinion than this; that
rienee hod not yet sufficiently ascertained ex:
thee it was injurious or not ; and that therefore it
would not be proper, without further informatior,
to forbid the use of it altogether. But, in order so
satisfy those who thought it injured the linen, atid
