HOUSE OF COMMONS.

IMPERI4L PARLLIMENT.
TIOUsE OF LORDS, TIMIIIDA•• M•acn 19.
ROO', PEERAGE.
1 heir Lordships, pursuant to the Order of the
Day, I siso:ved into a Cony:tit:cc of Privileges, Lord
Welsors:liam in the chair. •
The consideration of the claims of La:iv H. Fitz-
gerald, and also of those of the Duke of Rutland
to the above Barony, being resumed, Counsel were
farther he.ird in reply, on the part of the former.
After which, it being proposed that Sir V. Gibbs,
leading Counsel for His Grace the Duke of Rut-
land, should be heard in reply, sonic dill fence
of opinion arose (as no evidence had been adduced
against His Grace's claim) upon the propriety of
such a proceeding. At length it was determined,
that Sir V. Gibbs should he heard, and he ac-
cordingly addressed the Committee at some length,
On the further behalf of his Noble Client.
The Attorney-General (Sir A. Pigott) was then
beard at some length on the part of the Crown.
After whit +, the Committee, on the motion of the
Lord Chancellor, adjourned the farther consider-
ation of the case till this day fornight.
latrii:acit Aril' OF VISCOUNT MELVILLE.
After prayers were read, their Lordships imme-
diately proceeded to the Order of the Day, for the
consideration of the Report of the Committee ap.
pointed to search for precedents, respeEting the
proceedings of the House in cases of impeachment
tor high crimes and misdemeanours ;---this being
read,
Lord AUCKLAND rose, and addressed several
,ohservations to the House upon the subjeCt. He
adverted to what had taken place during the last
Session, with respeet to the pending impeachment of
Viscount Melville, who had been required, on the
nth of July, to give in his answer within one
month after that date, or on the second day of the
_ ensuing Session. It happened that the prorogation
took place within two days after the order was
made, which precluded the praCticability of putting
in the answer that Session ; it was accordingly
given in on the second day of the present. With
respesf to the additional Article of Impeachment,
preferred after a general plea had been put in,
there were two or three instances, in which
a similar proceeding had taken place, and in
which the order of the proceedings was not dis-
turbed ; the fire was in the well known case of
the Earl of Strafford, is the early part of the
feign of Charles I. ; the second was that of Sir
Rithard Dursley, Lord Mayor of London, in a
subsequent part of the same reign; against whom
an addition.ll A rticie of Impeachment was preferred,
eight days after the otiginal atticles were brought
up. The third case adverted to by his Lordship,
Was that of the Earl of Danby, Impeached to-
wards the latter part of the reign of Charles 11. in
which the House resolved, with reified to additional
articles which wele preferred, that he should have
farther time to put in his answer, and that he should
know the whole r f the charges, before he should he
tried. After a few remarks upon the nature of the
iswets put in, he concluded, by observing, that in
what he was about to propose, he had solely in
view, the honour, dignity, credit and chars per of
the House. He then moved, " that I-henry Lord
Viscount Melville be allowed a copy of the fur-
ther Article of Impeachment against him, for high
climes alai misdemeanours, brought up from the
Commons,and that his Lordship be required to pot in
his answer to the tame, on or before to-morrow
fortnight."
This seeming to meet the concurrence of their
Lordship-, was, on the question being put, ordered
aecordingtv.
Lord AUCKLAND moved farther, " that the
10th Article of Impeachment be printed for the
use of their Lordships."—Ordered.
Tl.e Bills upon the table were forwarded in their
respeeive stages ; among these, the Marine Mutiny
Lill, the Greenland Ships' Quota Bill, and the Corn
Exportation Bill, were severally read a second time,
and ordered to he committed.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, accompanied
by several Members, brought up from the Ci.mmons
tawi Collingwood's Annuity Bill, which was forth-
with read a first time, as was a private Bill, pre-
sented by Mr. S. Le Fevre.
The House then adjourned till to-morrow, when
their Lordships stand summoned relative to the
second reading of Earl Stanhopc's Kill, for the
more ofFedual discovery of truth from Witnesses.

Mr. Wm. Dundas brought in the Scotch Bank-
ruptcy Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to
be read a second time to-morrow.
Mr. Stanitotth presented a Petition from Hull,
praying for the repeal of the bill of last year.—
Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. KEENE moved for a copy of the commis-
sion of the Commissioners appointed to enquire
into the claims upon, and liquidate the debts of. the
Nabob of Arcot.
Mr. H ADDINGTON, on account of the in-
disposition of his Noble Friend, wished to have the
ration postponed, as the Noble Lord intended, on
Mossdav, to bring forward a motion which would in-
clude that commission.
After some explanation, Mr. KEENE persisting
in his motion, it was negatived without a division.
Lord Collingwood's Annuity Bill was read a this d
time, and passed.
IRISH CI.FRGY RFSIDFNCE BILL
Dr. DUIGENAN moved, " that the House
should resolve itself into a Committee on this Bill."
Mr. GRATTAN said, that he was instructed by
an Hon. Gentleman, not then present, to propose an
amendment, that while the Members mostcapable of
judging of the subjed, were absent on the Circuits,
the Committee be postponed to Thursday, the Bth of
May nest.
Dr. DUIGENAN opposed this Motion, as
the Hon. Gentleman had given no sufficient reason
for the postponement. He said, he brought in the
Bill at the request of the Board of the First Fruits Of-
fice in Ireland. B► the AR of Union, it was pro-
, widest, that the church of England and Ireland
I should be the same, and by the 43J of the King, in
England, the law was declared such as he now pro-
• p0.e,1. He wished, therefore, to hear what reasons
ewe were for this delay.
Mt. G RATTAN said, that it was not only the

Church, but the State, which was concerned on this
subject, and that it ought to be discussed by persons
of a professional description, who were now upon
the Circuits. The Learned 1)r. had called upon him
for his reason s whyihe wished for a postponement. He
would, therefore, give the Learned Do for this rea•
son, tint it had not been debated. An observation
of the Learned Doetor's wa.i, that this was taken
from the law which was adopted in England. The
Learned Dolor, in this tespeCt, chewed himself a
bad buior, instead of a profound statesman; for
though a tailor may make a suit of clothes which
may fit one man, it might not fit another. The
same law which was applicable to England, was not
applicable to Ireland. There was no lair ana-
logy between them. He had a great respeEt for
the Board of the First Fruits Office, but they were
not Legislators ; and it was necessary to wait till
persons more capable of judging of it were present.
If this Bill were passed, giving so much power to
the Bishops, an old parson may be ordered to vote
for an individual, or else resign. He would not
say, that there were any political bishops in Ire-
land, but should there be persons of that descrip-
tion, lee feared it would be throwing too much
power into their hands.

Dr. DV I GENA N replied, that there were near
70 out of 100 Irish Members now in London, and
there was no prosped of a greater number after the
blaster recess. If the Clergy of Ireland bad not
glebe houses, they might get residences. The ob-
je& of the Hon. Gentleman in wishing to defer,
was to defeat the bill.

Mr. FOX thought that the same law which may
be applicable to England, may not be so to Ireland,
and it was but fairto allow the new Irish Government
an opportunity of forming their judgment on the
subjed.
The Gallery was then cleared, and while the
strangers were nut, sec understand, a compromise
took place, in which it was agreed, that the Com-
mittee should be postponed to Thursday, the 21st
of April.
Sir JACOB ASTLEY moved for an account
of the duty on malt made in Great Britoil' and
Scotland, since the sth of March, 1806.
The other Orders of the Day being disposed of,
the House adjourned till to-morrow.
