CH 2() 1803.

-- • SfXPENCE.

IMPERI.4.I, PARLIAMENT.

terns of that part of the .United Kingdom, to.
which he belonged, should be construed if:to an ad.
mission that the conduet of the Dircelors of the Bank
of Ireland had been other than exemplary in the
highest degree; and that the Bank in question had
been condu&ed and managed, and was in the most
flourishing condition, he trusted he sholld be able,
when the Bill should he read a second time, to make
manifest to all their Lordships.
The Marquis of SLICK) rose to confirm every
word that had fallen front his Noble friend, the
Noble Earl, who had just sat down. .1-t• was
sure the more the conduet of the Bank of Ireland
was enquired into, the more it would IT found to
redound to +heir honour. .If the clauseproposed to
be inserted in the Bill by the Noble Baron, who had
originally moved that the Bill he read `a second
time that day, would reduce the price of Exchange
between England and Ireland to its.proper standard,
he might sately say, that it svouldcsinfer an essential
bcriefit on both countries.
The Order of the Day was discharged, and a
new Ordtr mide for the tirst Tuesday after the re-
cess.
The Resolution relative to the Peers of Ireland
being promoted to an higher dignity, agreed to in
the caw or the Earl of Limerick a few days since,
was made general, and a standing Order of the
House.
Mr. DiItDEN brought up a copy of Papers on the
proceedings in an Appeal from Ireland, which on
being duly sworn, he testified it to be a true copy.
The Irish Militia Bill, after a few words from
Lord Pelham, was read a second time.—Adjourned.

HOUSE Or LORDS,
MONDAY, MAIM! 28.
Mr. C L v. F. was heard to the'end of his argu-
ment, on behalf of the Respondent, in the Appeal
Cause, Crawford v. Courts; after which the further
hearing was adjourned to Wednesday neat.
Five private Bills were read a third time.
WOUNIMN.I AND MAIMING MU..
Lord ELLEN BOROUGH reminded the House,
that. he had, on Friday last, moved, that the Chalk-
ing Bill for Ireland be committed for the first Tues-
day after the Recess. He did it, he said, to intro-
duce to their Lordships a Bill, which he had taken
the trouble to prepare, for the purpose of explain-
ing and amending the Coventry AC% under which uo
man who wounded, maimed, or defaced another, in
the face, or any member or part of his body, could
be convi.cled, unless she lying-in-wait, with a view to
commit the offence was proved, and for Want of that
sort of proof, an atrocious offender had recently been
obliged to be acquitted at the Old Bailey: It had
also for its objea to generalize the law with regard
to certain penal offences, and to adapt it equally to
every part of the United Kingdom. Arnong other
provisions, he had introduced several to meet the de-
leas and difficulties that now lay in the way of con-
vision for several offences of the most criminal na-
ture. One went to colistitate an assault will intent
to commit murder, a capital felony, whereas at pze.
sent it was only a misdemeanour. Another to make
the attempting to fire a gun, or pistol, with intent to •
kill, although the attempt failed by the weapon's
missing ire, by flashing in the pan, or other acci-
dent, a capital felony. A third, to constitute the
administering poison with intent to destroy, also a
capital felony. Another to relieve the Judges from
the difficulties they. laboured under in respea to the
1 trial of women indiaed for child-murder, in the case
of bastards. At present the Judges were obliged to
strain the law for the sake of lenity, and to admit
the slightest suggestion that the child was born alive,
as evidence of the fad. Another provision went to
the punishment of those guilty of the horrid crime
of administering drugs and potions to procure abor-
tions in pregnant women. His Lordship stated all
the provisions which he had put into the Bill, ex-
plained the ground of each, and submitted the whole
of them to the consideration of the House, meaning,
if their Lordships approved of the Bill, and any of
its provisions, the Chalking Bill would be found to
be unnecessary, and might be postponed the further
proceeding in, till the present Bill should be matured
and passed, in which case he trusted the Chalking
Bill might be dropped.
Lord AUCKLAND rose to return his thanks to
the Noble and Learned Lord for the pains he had
taken to prepare a Bill, which appeared likely to
be attended with very salutary consequences to the
public. He must be allowed, at the same time, to
take that opportunity of saying a single word in ex-
planation of what he had observed upon the Chalk-
ing-Bill on a limner day. He had been under-
stood by a person, for whom he felt respeet, =Mov-
ing delivered his sentiments against their passing
any penal laws for Ireland, different in technical de.
scription or provisions from those that were adapted
to England. He certainly had not maintained so
absurd or so extravagant a &Chine. He knew,
that for some !irne the Legislature must apply penal
laws, varying in their nature and provision, to
the different parts of the United Kingdom ;
all he contended against was, that the passing
a Bill, describing. an atrocious offence, such
as wounding, maiming, or defacing any person—a
crime most unfortunately common to every part of
the whole kingdom, under a name peculiar to one
part of the L nixed Kingdom only. IVliere the of-
fence was one and the same, he saw no use in thus
multiplying penal statutes unnecessarily.
The Bill was read a first time.

MIMIC ACCOUNTS.
Lord AUCKLAND moved, that the Public Ac-
counts presented on Friday from the Treasury, as
they were extremely voluminous; should be printed
for the convenience of their Lordships —Ordered.
Lord KING said, he had drawn several Motions
on the public accounts, but as the Noble Lord had

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

moved that the Papers laid upon the table from the
Treasury on Friday last be printed, he would wait
till the prints were ready.
lILS MAJESTI"g MESSAGE.
Lord PELHAM moved an humble Address to
his Majesty, thanking him for his gracious Message,
and assuring him that the House would readily con-
cur in support of remuneration recommended for the
meritorious services of Sir James Saumarez.
BANK OF IRELAND RESTRICTION BILL.

Lord AUCKLAND said, that upon referring to
the last Hank of Ireland Restrittion Bill, he found
that he had been mistaken in supposing that it was
on the ev..! of expiring. It did not expire till the VI
of June 'next. As, therefore, it was desirable to
give it a little more consideration before they pro-
ceeded further in it, and the date of its duration
would afford ample time, he would move that the
order for the second reading of the Bill, which stood
for this day, be discharged, and that a new order be
made for the first Tuesday after the recess.
Lord KING said, that he could have no ob-

MONDAY, MARCH 28.
The SPEAKER. took the Chair at half past three
o'clock.
Mr. KYNASTON Powett brought up the Report
of the Committee appointed to enquire into the me-
rits of a Petition complaining of an undue Election
fur Chippenham, when it appeared to. the said Com-
mittee that Charles Brooke, Esq. was not dulv
eleeted, and that John Maitland, Esq. ought to
have been returned as a representative in Parlia-
ment for the said Borough, and that the Fetitiun
and opposition to it were not frivolous or vexatious.
The Deputy Clerk of the Crown was then order.
ed, to attend and amend the return according to the
said report.
The Southampton Port Bill was read a third time
and passed.
General LELAND moved, that General Berkley
should have leave of akserwejot.a.,eligct period, on
private business. Ittppeanng that Or >Hon. Mem-
ber had not served on any Committee, the motion
was negatived.
On Mr. VANSITT ART'S motion that Sir E. Little-
ton should have leave of absence, it was negatived
on the same principle as the former.
Sir Ro aver Lein= obtained leave of absence on
account of ill.health.
Colonel GR.ail AM, Sir Guenter Hreeeeper,
JOHN 1 IEATHCOTE, Esq. and other Gentlemen, ob-
tained leave for short periods, inconsequence of hav-
ing served on Committees.
Mr. HAWKINS BROWNE moved the order of
the day for bringing Stephen Brooke to the Bar, in
order to be discharged.
Stephen Brooke was then ordered to the Bar, in
custody of the Serjeant at Arms. When he was
thus severely reprimanded by
The SPEAKER —ee Stephen Brooke ! a Selecct
Committee of this House, appointed to enquire into
the merits of a petition, complaining of an undue
eleaion for Nottingham, have reported that you,
being summoned to attend before them as a witness,
have been guilty of gross prevarication. The tri- .
bunal before which yob appeared was one, to which
was entrusted the preservation of the dearest fran-
chises and privileges of this House. But the wis-
dom which constituted that tribunal would be of
no avail, if offences like yours were suffered to go tin -
punished. Yours is also a case of peculiar aggrava-
' tion, insomuch as this, that two days previous to the
commission of your offence, a person was orde. :d
into custody by the same commi. tee, on an occasit.n
exactly similar, which should have operated as an
example to you. And the House, in consideration of
this circumstance, for the' purpose of marking your
punishment with greater ignominy, ordered you to
be committed to the common jail ; but in conse-
quence of the deep contrition which you have ex-
pressed, the House has consented to discharge you.;
but notwithstanding the lenity you have experienced
your punishment will follow you out of this House.
You have fallen below the level your fellows ; you
can never be admitted into a court of justice as an
evidence, either in support of your owlet-iglus or the
defence of the rights of others • and you must neces-
sarily be shunned by those with whom you have been
accustomed to associate. You are, therefore, order-
ed to be discharged, on paving your fees."
Mr. I)ICKENSON, jun. moved, that the order
of the day fur taking the Woollen Nlanufacturerißill
into consideration on to-mornew be discharged.
Admiral BERKLEY v jelled to knoW if the con-
sideration of the Bill would he axed for Friday. He
wished to point out to the House that postponing
the consideration of this sub' pct to any distant pe-
riod, it would be a greet detriment to the lower
classes of persons employed in that trade., amnia
already been productive of some dieturhances in tie
county of Gloucester.

jthion to the adjoutnment of the Order of the Day
for the second reading of the Bank of Ireland Re-
fstrietion Bill ; but he rose to give notice, that when
the Bill should be read a second time, he meant to

Mr. DICKENSON, Jos. said he had no
jellion to fix it for Friday next.
Mr. HOSHOUSE said, he did not hear of any
disturbances as mentioned by the Hon. Member.
lle agive4 with him that it was a sohjea of the
greatvst importance, as it involved in its considera-
tion all the laws on Cie subjea, from the time of
!Lich. to the proses 1 period. He did net, how-
ever, think that any riot existed in Gloucestershire
at present.
Admiral BERKLEY said, that the If Centlf,
man Was Call!Ct in stating that no riots saisteJ
CJ.otict:Asslire at resew.. but riot' hail certainly

move the insertion of a Clause obliging the Bank of
Ireland to pay their own Notes, when pieseuted in
Notes of the Bask of England, which he conceived
would be the naost easy and efficacious means of re-
ducing the Exchange between England and Ireland
to its proper standard.
The Earl of I.BIERICK said, he did not rise

to ohjea to the Motion, but merely to lay in his chnm,
that his acquiescence in the present Motion, or that
of au aShrt LorJ peculiarity interested in the cm-
