INSMI CUSTOMS' REGULATION BILL.

Upon the motion for the second readiug of the
Irish Customs and Fees' Regulation
The Earl of LAUDIRD.II.I observed, that al-
thoegt be was extremely sorry to take up the time
of their hardships, it was a Rill which infringtil
eine of the standing orders of that House, by which
it was declared that any 'natter foreign to, and I
having as coonexion with, the purport of any
supply. or money bill, being introduced
thersia, tbexeby fettering their Lordehi ps' discretion,
wesdretructite •to the rights of that Ifouw;, and
unparlintnentary. The Bill in questiou purported'
to be for the Regulation of Customs and the Fees
of Cwitoin.bouse Officers in Ireland; and it enacted
that the right of taking sixpence upon certain
duties be repealed ; and then it enacted that three-
pence be paid npou the same duties; after o Inch it
proceeded to regulate the holislays kept by persoas
employed in the customs. Now, he certainly
must contend, thut this Rill tended immediately to
stibvert the orders of that lines', and on that a,•-
count he was in duty enauirdle.l to resist it ; for it
became their Lordship.; to he extremely jealous of
ally infringement upon their stqadieg order.. con-
sidering that it might lead to dangerous muse-
queuces ; and after sliewing that nrit:er foreign to
the title of that Bill, as a Money Bill. was Intro-
duced by the other House of Parliament, his Lord-
ship moved au ainendment--s• instead of the
words . be now read si second time,' there be sub-
etittited r that this Bill be rejecti.d.'"
. . .

Loyd H IWKEIBUILY said, -that what had been
stated by the Noble Earl, respecting the semdiog
order of that House. applied to bills pf aid end
sopply. He must admit that the bill before them
was a' money bill ; but heconeeived, that in respect
t same particular bills, the order was not impeni-
tire but admonitory ; and in the case under consi-
deration, left it to the option or dFiserction of that
Haase to put it in force, if their Lordships, after
exercising their discretion, should be induced to
think that such was the intention of the House of
Commons. at the time of pasaiiig the Bin, viz. to
introduce foreign matter, with a crow to fetter their
discretion; but he did not perceive that the prin-
ciple of that order could be justly applied in the
present instance, end therefore should nut vote
for The rejection of that hitt.
. . _

The URN CIIANCLLIOR thought that so fir an
this Bill regarded duties on the customs of Ireland,
it might properly be deemed. a Money Ball. Ile
could sce 11/0 impropriety an first taking off this
sin-pence duty which had been formerly paid, and
afterwards substituting three-pence. 1 his arose
trout • the Officers having Isteu aotnorised to rule
half thaisselves and to pay the other to Crivern-
me id. And when the Bill was framed for 'llia, out-
post of regulating their fees, it was not improp,:r
to introduce regulations concerning the hulsdays
kept by such ()*ieers. On this account, and on
the ground of these 'sedan being sometimes
tither admonitory to that Heusi thin impc!at.%e,
he sisaald leave it to theft Lonlsinos' diverpti.,“ to
consider whctiser the Bill bt•ate diem was out to
which the order should be applied.
lord IIOLL•SID regarded du; standing orders
of very great importance. The. Noble lioron
(Hawk;nsicary) had taken considerable pains to
draw all the distinctions his wind could suggest,.
when the standing orders,of. Mist House ought, or.

might hottobe observed : •fiir Ibis purptige;lie had
gone threegh all the modes, and had Joined at
what time they were to be considered im the his-
4ttrisdispe; There could be no such distinction, for
• they must at all times be imperative ; and their
Lordships might as well have no orders, if they
must be thus frittered away, by leaving it to
• their discretion to consider them imperative or
' admonitory. He had no disposition to pot any ob-
stacle in the way of the present Bill, than by resist-
ing its infringement upon the orders of that House.
And if the Commons once found out a mode of
sending up Bills iu that way, which tended to a
breach of the orders of that House, they might be
induced to do so on some oII'USIOISS highly danger-
ous to their Lordships privileges.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE was surprised at what
bad fallen from the Noble Lord opposite (Haw kias.
bury) in hying down a distinction, when the or-
ders of that House should be considered impera-
tire. and when admonitory. It was absurd to con-
sider any standing order admonitory ; that House
might as well harems orders at all it‘they were not
imperative. This doctrine had been also laid down
by the Noble and Learned Lord (the Lord Chan-
cellor,) and it was astonishing to him that those
two Noble Lords could thus attempt to destroy
their Lordshipti staiuling orders. He could not ac-
count for it but upon this principle, that the len-
- guage used by them was intended, on their part, to
be imperative towards that House.
Ttie LORD CitailtTh.on then put the question
upon his original motion, which was agreed to
without a division.
