certain Debtors confined is the King's Bench, not being
able to avail themselves of the Insolvent Act. praying to be
relieved by an Act of Grace fa honour of the approaching
eorortukw. The Petitiemers staled their dread that of such
as Act did not now pest, they were not likely to have any
other opportunity for experiencing the royal clemency, as it
was likely that his Majesty would live too long for them to
see another coronation. They concluded their Petiliou by
praying that ha Majesty might live long, and pr ~,,, Wag
that their prayer being granted, they cud their families
would lard and shout for joy, and pay heaven in their
loyalty that his Majesty's reign might be long sad Boorish.

The Mts. 11. G. BaNttairT took occasion to

of the proceedings in that (louse, relative to an
observation be ha.l made on this subject. A dis-
cussion had token place upon :!-ie Government

was represented to have said that. 11r. C.'e,son had
received inure sums than he hail given credi. to the
Guyer sssss rot fur ; now, he had said no such thing.
What he had said was, that setorns had nut been
made according to the proclamations issued, and
that a deficiency bad appeared its consequence of
the irregulaiity of the orders. He had received a
letter from a Member of dial House, stating, that
Mr. Grierson was a most respectahle Gentleman
and felt very much hurt at the statement, and as be
had uever mode such a statement, he wished to
take that opportunity of correcting it.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he had to complain of a

ACT OF miAck.
. Mr. HATimarrpresii‘teri a Petition from certain
Debtors confined in the Ki vies Bench f rianh. pray-
ing that an Address might be preremed to his Ma-
jesty, requesiiiig that he would be graciously ideas:
ed to libcnite them, as lied been done in forme+
times to prisons in a similar sittuvion, at the en-
suing ceremony of the coronation. in oder to ena-
ble theta to participate in the general rejoicing..
Mr. Iloatioutts said he had not been aware this
Petition would have been presented, hut as hr had
intended to say a few words epos the subject, h
Would take that opportunity to elem. A soggs...
tion hid bren thrown oat by fits (;.lint Friend
(Sir R. Wilson), to which lie aided his humble
voice, aryl hr hoped Ministers wotilll take it as it
was intended in goOd part. There were at present
a vast number of perstitiv confined in the various
prisons in England for political offences, and he
thought that Ministers might with great propriety,
and without in the least demoting from their Don
dignity or violating their consistenty, advise the
Crow.' to mitigate their punishment. Amongst
those there was one individual of an swim, and te.
specrable fs.nilr, and most of these persons have
never had an o her crime tot voted to • lt. m. Ilist he
wished plincieally io sdLer. to the vise Mr. Henry
Hunt, for thetc were few t,ersos.a in th•!cosisatty who
did tint think hat liis senterce was m itch more
against the man than the crime. Fir he it from
him to cast any imptitniion upon the drench; but
he had heard it said that some of the July had since
deel wed, that h..l they known such a srweace
would have been passed noon him. they would
rather have given a verdict of acquittal. It most
be reene.ebered, ilist Mr. Hunt was only found
guilty upon one emot. although the indictment
colitlieed ; mid I.e therefore hoped his Ma-
jesty's Ministers would rake the case into their con.
sideration. They had la-cly I:moglit proper to in-
terfere in the care of oil individual who had been
convicted of poisonin.4 the teresitis of jastice by
bribing the electors, sod he hoped it would sent be
considered too lunch to reqi:est their interference in
this. He should before this have submitted some
specific motion on ilse subject ; but even his short
experience in that licuse had sheen him the inex-
pediency
of bringing such measures before Portia. '
meat. Ile could out, however, let Nitta/neat dis-
solve without etMenling Ministers to recommesid
this act of clemeni.c. Stich an act would, in his
opinion, be a brig* :er ometne..t than s,.y other
!hit could irare the it••tviatarillnatrions pageant.

SCOTCH Fit EiTE:tY ACT.
Lord A. HAMILTJM wished to know from the
Right Hon. Gen•lemsii (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer), whether he sell meant to adhere to
the 'Present segolletioiis respectiig Scotch breweries;
or, if not. whether he could stale the nature of any
measure he hell iu conten4lation ? _

The Clisucku.ou of rite EzcuvQl•ss said, he
bed no allercien at preset,' i.t coinetnplation, but
the autiect oltoulil be kept tinder the consideration
of the 'Pressure, and any remedy necessary should
be applied to any grievance that alight arose.

ORDERS OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. Niglio'', tools the Cyst lochs Company,
brought up •iime papers which had been ordered.
Mr. HUME moved that illese papers be printed.
Ile complained of the Acuity ;mere was in getting

rottpeight burios'efter tliey were ordered. A
sicai-
tardilSoulty hid been experienced from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Ile hail loused for twenty-
five Orders which be bid slot vet received, and he
thought the House were bound to enforce its own
orders. _ _

Mr. LUSHINGTO* raid, he really was not aware
to v, isa, unless she Hon. !.letisisee allufled. But he
coul,l usuire the House the expedition or facility
fur obtaitnin4 these ■ccou..ts was by no means so
great a. he ;tad represenre•t.
Air. Alx•sat.v said that pipers which he had
moved for io the beginning of the Session had not
been received until :he latter end. Some of these
could be nad in 24 hours. He conside►ed it a
peat disrespect to the House nut to attend to its
orders.
Mr. Lusetticreou said there had been no delay
at the Tseasury.
Mr. CRBSVSY said he had •moved a long time
since for the returns of the 44 per cent. duties,
which he had not yet obtained.
Mr. HOME hoped the Secretary to the T►easury
would allow him those returns, although they could
not be printed.
Mr. LUSHINGTON said he had no objection to let
him have u copy of them when they were ready.
Mr. PIM MOORE said he had moved 11 years
ago, that instead of the 2.5 th March, returns should
be made up to the 10th of February. This was
most iseces•ary at present, with a view to the ecutio.
meal arrangements In contemplation next year.
PUBUC MONEY.
Mr. Hums rose us present a Petition from a Gen-
tleaiau of the 'same of Lyster, and although it
might siipear of small iinpuriatice, yet-in point of
principle it appeared to him to be of great magni-
tude.; It would sheer that the conduct of the Chan-
chellor of the Exchequer had been passed over
without that animadversion, or rather condemns-
-11011. it deserved. A sum of money to the amount
of 4,0001. had been grouted to Mr. APArloin,
which only for his Hon. Friend, the Member fur

Cumberland (Mr. Cureren), would never have bapti
known to the public. Ministers had no right air-
power to give Shy pliblic money without • &hind.
vote of that House. The Petitioner stilted that 111
1803, he had published a work. eklivvi4f
whole plant upon ihich Mr. M'Acim meted. and
that had the minter been properly investigh,ed, he
would have been found the person entitled to the
40001. He tberefote prayed that crime i.,quitY
should be instituted into the circumstance* nui‘er
*lnch the grant had been made to Mr. Willem.
The Cluacti.Loa of the Elcimusa
that the grant to Mr. *Adam had tree,. .peethi
cally recommended by a Committee or th it !love, -
and that in addition to that they had the frekki
mendation of the PostuisterlGeneral, who atattal
that considerable advantages had been rearmed
upon the Pnot-offiee revenue by Mr. M.,tdatu'iv,
invention ; and. therefore. the Treasury considered
themselves justified in making the grant.
. Ti,. N.w. Gsav Bs' MITT said. that it ap.
peered to him that if Ministers were juoified lei
granting 4,000/:, in • like manner might tier
grant 40,0001. without the knowledge air con-es t
of Parliament, according to what they eAlled the r
discret .lie did not mean to underrate tt e
merits of Mr. 51.11 dam. bet on principle he
objected to the grant, because it should have On.
glowed with Parliament.
Mr. Hums thought the Chance:lin tar the Ex-
chequer hail given no answer to Isis qiievtuiii. If
Minivtcrs had the poarr of making this grant they
might carry it to any extent they pleased. Militate-is

in chi, ius4ture hest liven ill ward. and he hoped
that some Member would in the neat Session bring
forward a nieavure to put it stop to it.

The Chasicatt.oa of the EXCHIQUER repeated
his farrier answer. The claim of Mr. M'Adatit
had been universally admitted.
Mr. Critceare did hot complain of the sum
granted. bat of the mode in which it had been
re...ed. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hail
Mated that it was recommended by a Coinme ittre.
but he would beg to remind the Howe that tier
claim of General Drafoursieaux hall also been re-
commended by • Committee, but the House did
ant afterwards titlark it right that he should pocket
h.OOO/., and he Wed the satiafaction of serirort
Chancellor of the Excliegoer ins minority of six ;
but iu the present instance the Right Hun. Gentle-
man was more cautious, and Ise must object to
granting the public money without a vutc of the
House.
The Hon. 111. G. BINNETT said. that a similar
sums of 4,000/. bad been proposed for Sir %Vm.
Adams iii courrequence of the Report of el
Ophthalmic Committee, but he hope:l that not
4.000 'pence would be granted without a vote of the
COURTS IN SCOTLAND.
Ma. Hung said be had a Petition to present 4.r
great importance, as affecting the allininistras 1111 l 01*
justice is. Scotland. In the Sessions Court a
practice had been introduced of superred ug the
Acts!' of Parlament, and of lisTorilint ,o
what were called 6' Acts of St-derma," sir that the
suitor could not tell according to whet Act his
cause was to be tried. It had been his intention
to have submitted a proposition to the House
on the subject, but it was now ia the bends
of a Right Hon. Baro.ret (Sir Joint Newport),
to whom too much credit could not be given for
his exertions. lie (Mr. Flume) had presented a
Petition last year from a person of the name of
Hay. complaining of a ca., of great hardship which
lie had experienced in consequence of a declaims
made under Nu Act of Sederuut in the case of a
a will. The present Prtitiou use from a ge..ileinaie
of the name of Jo:memo, a wri.er to the Signet.
complaining of various grievances, but particularly
one which ire had sustained in comequeuce of a de-
cision made tinder the Act of Sederunt in 1810.
The Floo. Gentleman then stated the opii l of
Mr. Jlistice Blackstone, that ‘, when the func-
tions of a Judge were joined to thrse of 4
Legislator, the lives and properties of individuals
were at the disposall of an improi.er tribunal."
But now-a-days any nisn with a wig on his heed
and a cloak Olt his back took upon himself t
read lectures to the public. A few days ago Mr.
Silvester, of the city of Loodou, in passing seer.
tence of death upou some unfortunate iudividuals.
thought fit to go out of his way to pronounce air
eulogium upuu the Bridge-street Association.--
And hue wished to call the attention tr the Noble
Marquis (Londouderce) to this subject, who was
so fond of reading lectures to Members of that.
House, for ant-native/UN; upon the conduct tie
persons out of doors, although Members of the
House of Commons lied a thousand limes more
to du so than a Judge, sod he thought boils
Mr. &treater and the Lord President of Scotland
lied gone far beyond the discretion vested in them.
Sortie years ago an alteration had been made in Ut
set constitution of the Borough of Montrose by the
advice of the Lord Advocate, and shortly alter
his Noble Frirud (Lord Archibald Hamann )
brought forward a motion to determine whether
Ministers hail a right to do so. The House de.
termined they had this right, yet the Lord Pre•
,eideut took upon himself to declare that this
NNW charter ors quite oaconalitutiousl, and .he
tooslil advise Magistrates to be cautious how they
