Mr. BABINGTON complained that Englsh Gen-

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry
that what he had said in his former observations

also to induce Gentlemen to reside in Ireland.—

Col. BARRY remarked, that the Gentlemen of
Ireland were much more oppressed than the saute
class of prisons in England.
Mr. Put. protested against the proposition ad-
vanced by an Hon. Member (Mr. Babington), and
`tonteilded. that by the Act of Union the principle
was recognised that Parliament should possess the
power of making such reductions in favour of he-
pful as circumstances might resider necessary. It
