Bit I .ACII e•RIVILEGIr.-TNIR. LOWTEN, kg.

Ms. JEIFERY (one of the Members for Forte)
rose, pursuant to the notice he had giettn, to com-
plain of a flagrant breach of the law, and of the pri-
vileges of the House of Commons He stood that
a writ had been n ued, usual form, on the
29th of April Ltst, for the eleflion of two Nlethhers
to serve .at the town and borough of Poole. !fiat
writ had been i•sued, and left with the clerk of Mr.
Lenten, in the city. The parties, candidate;,
went down of course at the time appointed for the
rleflion ; misty of the elecclors aelually re-
mained at Poole for three weeks or a month, in order
to give their votes. However. a delay, at the time
unAccoontable, to-k place. :41 at last the Sheriff
gave notice that the el:Ilion should take place int
the 2.5 th of M ty. One of the causes of the delay,
as it afterwards appeared, was, that one the voters
was not eligible to vote till the ted of May, when
he came of age ; the consequence of which was,
that when the ele;tion came on, there was a doirbie
return is in two cut of three candidates. Mr.
Jzil.ry farther stated, that he applied to Mr.
Low en to know what was become of the wtit ?
Mr. Lowten told :ton that it had been sent three
hours before. In answer to aoother inquiry,
Mr. Lowten gave him a rude reply, namely,
that he would not inform him (Mr. defferyl
to ienoin is was sent, but, for his cmisolstisn,
he might be assured, it was sent down a,:ainst
his interest. Sir Richard Bickerton, a Lord of the.
Admiralty, who was one ~t the Candidates, went
dawn, and was kept A, Poole for a length of time,
in rionseqoence of this delay, with great inconve-
t* the public service. H. would therefore
move, That Mr. :itaniforth, the Messenger of the
Great Seal, be now called in, to substantiate, by evi-
dence, the statement which had now been made."
Mr. CIF.EV EY wished first so ascertain to what
point of evidence Mr. bitAUlfos LIS'S examinatiou was

The SPEAKER said, that the subjed, as stated
by the Hots. Member for Poole, deeply affeded the
privileges of the House. Whoever presumed to
detain the issuing of a writ, was Guilty of aAO
Maw sal taisdesseaaasst, as it went to depriee
those or their seat wbo ought to be in that House.
It was by the examination of evidence that the
House could ucestain how far the allegation of the
Hon. Gentleman was substantiated.
Mr. Stanitorth was then called in, and interro-
gated at the BAT, by the SPEAKER, as follows:
When did you receive the last writ for she elec-
tion of a Member to serve for town and county
of Poole ?—A. On the 2Lh of April last
Q. To whom did you deliver it?—A. To Jona-
than Brundered.

ceived it.

Q. Who is het—A. Chief Clerk to Mr. Lovrten.
Atte.may.
Q. To what purpose did you deliver to him that
writ?—A. To ito4 it down with expedition to the
Slieriff st rook.

Mr. ..;EFIPERY then moved, That Jonathan
Brundered do Attend ti.is House t.)-rt: nrow ;" but,
on the suggi scion of the SPEAKER, that th:' motion
should b:: first for the Attendance of the principal
and then of :be clerk. Mr. Jeffery altered his mo-
tion thus : I' That Mr. fhomas Lowten. atitontel
at Law, and his clerk, Jonathan Brundered, do a.-
tend this House to.morruw; at,l that the farther con-
sideration rf the cawe of the delay or mi.caniage

VOLUNTEF.R FORCE.

Sir T. TuRTON roaa 14 the ptirpose of mov-
ing for the return of the effeaive Volunteer Force
of Great Britain and Ireland. He WAS happy to
find, that a measure for the general defence of the
country NV AS to he brought forward toi-saorrow. lle
under st.-nd. that a former return had been made of
the e:fenise force of the Volunteers, up to the Gth
of 1)-cember, 1106; but. to his knowledge, the
scorns ot several of the regitaents were very in-
accurate iu.ited. What he wished for was, as
late and arcurre en Account as possible True it
WAS, that the Vislant,er Force had been decliwag
its an alarming ti,-gree ; it it was intended that this
I ace should be re.anima.ad, it was Recess •ry that
the House should know •'.e etas amount of that
force. The digenuraterrents which it had met with
on slwiral occasions, lead damped their aruour and
zzal, and liaz: thinned Buhr ranks ; stile, however
he must bear testimony to their seal is rsisting all
ac
attacks esther from internal or trerial enemies;
and that, although some individuals bad 'men dis-
ciiuragrJ, yot the main body had been satiated
with true patri,aac zeal. He was the most anginas
upon this lubjeft, because it was now evittently im-
pussihle to do without the aid of that inaitution.—
He thenfore moved, That there he laid before
the lions, a Return of the Affairs forcer of the dila
ferent ‘'olunteer Corps rf Great Britain and ire.

The CHANCELLOR of theALXCHEQUF,R
did not 'lmpose thaltheu Hon. B4t,uet would be
able ee obtain any in !ion nitre accorpteithap
in the statement which had been already laid upon
the in Jary last. \s the) aw now stood.
the Table, esis
Cornm andisig Officers of the several Volunteer
Corps were °Keel to make returns of the amount
of their force several times in the yeartiwany rate,
the returns were none other than what the Officers:
themselves gave is since the app.,intenent of
spticlin,t Field °dicers had been dispensed with.
These Officers had not been resiNk.-itned tiq lately. !
and none of their returns had yet been received.
Mr. SHAW LE FEVRE assiened as tile prin.
cipal CAW of the decrease of the Volunteer Force,
that there had been no great call for their t..:ettions,
as the riemy's troops had been withdrawn from the
opposite coast; but whenever occasion servel, the
Volunteers would be found as ready as ever to telly
and mach to any part of the coast. But he spate
from experience, as a Volunteer Offizer, it was k
borions service, and one that required time and at-
tention. When the Volunteer,: saw the efforts of the
enemy. he had no doubt but the rinks would soon
fill again; and. he misted. they would entitle
themselves to the thanks of the Huns* and of their
country. _ _ _

General PHIPPS remarked, that the complaint
the Volunteers had to make was nut that they were
worked, but that they had been put down.
Sir T. TURTON assured the House, that from
the Ist of January, 1806, to the Ist of Janua: Y.
1807, the Volunteer Force had . suffered a
diminution of 14,000 men. Woold toe Hon.
G-titleman opposite (Mr. Shaw I.e Fevre), deny
th it their ranks had been thinned from lan-
guage held tespeaing them in that House t That
they had been described as an armed Democracy ?
That they would only breed confusion in the regu-
lar army in the time of admit. Stc„? Language so
ill-seasoned and insulting as this could not sown be
forgotten or forgiven. In consequence of such
speeches, he declared it was with the utmost diffi-
culty tat the Commanders of Volunteer Corps
could keep their men toi;ether. He would freely
appeal to the judgment of the li9nse was lan-
guage such as this tespetflial to the whole body of
Volunteeu I.

The second reading of the Irish Arms Bill was

Mr. HQIIIiOUSE brought up the lt:pott on the

ditional sum of 50,0001. to be expended by the
London Dock Company, f,r the purpose of meiffing
ffiees for the different Officers, barracks for sol-
diers. and a boundary wall. It was then moved,
and ordered, That is be an instialion to the Com-
mitres to prepare and bring in a Bill, purstrout to

EAST INDIA COMPANY** DuNOS itiLL.
On the Order of use Day fur the second reading.
of the East India Company's Bonds Bill, Mr.
FREEMAN said, he thought it strange, at a time
when there were two gal' India Budgets in ariear,
that the Company shopld cow to Parliament, and,
withopt any explanation, require to give them this
facility is raising money. 'l'he Company stated,
that it would be inconvenient for them to raise
two millions of new capital, whilst they wished to
contrail a new debt of two millions, by issuing
Boadt. Ought not the House to inquire first,
before they consented to this, what were the means
of defraying these Bonds when they shou;d he,:onie
due 'Deere was, already, a great floating debt due
by the Company, and an excess of expenditure ab've
the receipts; he wished. therefore, to know from
what rood the East India Company meant to pay '
the amount of these Bonds, or to clear riff their rein-
barrassmersts t Documents to this elrea ought first 1
to be produced for the satishuftion of the House,
before they came to any determination. The Atm.
rigans he considered as Rely to get possession of
the principal part of their trade ; and a•s/h regard
to their affair 1., India, he thought Sir George Bar-
low had held up we flourisiing a prospeft to the
Dtreiftors, when he expressed a hope of perma-
nent peace in India ; a hope which rested on no
good fouudation. In. proceedings during the
Governorship or the Marquis Wellesley were such as
tended to render the pinspeitt of peso; ;frith the :NA-
tiye Powers very precarious ; nor did be this* there
was any well founded pimp& of any snore surplus

Lord FOLKESTONE did not think the Hon.

the second reading of the Bill a present. He re.
stated the objeaiuns of the Hon. Vend inan f %Ir.

Biil, as it would go forth sanaioned by the au.ho.

of India early in the ip-st Session, awe especially
considering the present situation of Europe, and
rho :means which rur enemy possessed to disturb

said, rcross the table, " certainly not."
The Noble Lord still thought that in this ca:e
theta would be a responsibility laid no Paliamcnt,
and thought that die House should first bare docu-
ments to ascertains the inexpediency at least ct the
comp soy's raising money in the usual way, by en.
Isrging their capital, before Parliament permttcl
them to issue Bonds to such an amount.

Mr. GRANT further explained.
Mr. ROBERT DUNDAS said, the Gentlemen
oil the other side had etolly mistaken the objea of
this BiU. The fatrt was, that the East India Com-
pany bad a power to raise a mush larger sum o‘
money than the? wished to raise by this sands; this,
thery/ori, ease/doact be a reason for postponing the
measure until ill the papers should be before the
House. A Noble Lord (Howick) had said, that
that was a considerable stAisit on the accounts cf
the Company; but it should be recolleated that
the C".suspany had been engaged in a too,: detrialci.
tal war. by whi....4 they were imposed to great el.
passes ; from this was arose the deficiency ; but
the Nohle Lord could nct mean to argue
from this, that the affairs of the Campany
were in a desperate state. And further, owing to
the circumstances which Europe has laboured un-
der for some years, it could not be ese:aed that
the trade would flaursh sn willlie as if these circum.
stanees did not exist. But even if this WAS not the
case, the Parliament have already given the Coin.
parry leave to increase their capital, which they do
not now wish to avail themselves of, but merely to
raise a sum of money for present purposes.
Mr. CREEVEY and Mr. DUNDAS severally
explained.
Dr. LAWRENCE thought the House could net
• agree to the measure, hut in the way p:opostd hp
his Honourable Friend (Mr. Creevey); at such a
period as this, the House should be more particular
than to bind themselves in any responsibility, until
they should investigste tNe measure. He could
see no reason why any Member, who was igno-
rant of the subject, should be obliged to do that
now, which in a fortnight's time he would become
perfealy acquainted with. He could not see the
necessity of such haste with this bill, and thcretore
opposed it.
The CI lANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUF.R
considered the question to be, whether the measure
which mast be granted in the course of tht Ses-
sion, was a measure proper to be adopted, be.
fire the papers were Wore the Nouse I The short
grounds for not waiting for the produarnn of
triosa papers were, that whatever might turn out to
be the st.ste of the Company's affairs, on the inves-
tigation of those papers. this poposition would at all
events be proper to be adopted. The propoeition was.
not • hat any mosey was to be granted to the Con.,
party, but that they :night have the opportunits P,

which they can raise in that manner, wit.' m• •<
