The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND said,
it had been insinuated, that Gentletnen on his side
of the House repeuten of their vote for the eornMit-
tal of the Hon. Baronet. So far from feeling in

assured that Ministers acquieceed with hint.

Mr. GI I.Ei 1114011,4' the letter a distinct offence,
and UM onoteteil with foly other.

that House, that the letter of Sir Francis Burdett
to the Speaker of that House, wits a flagrant :dime

early application, were refused, sad that others, wno

of a private door, were arcominAated. These re-
ports cistutng in such any piertionable shape, he
thought, if it was oily in justice to Sir John Piers,
who was at the head of the office, an inquiry ought
to take place. _ . _

The i'lt Ncev.rott of the Excittouga observed,
that he wino pertrettr %Moil; that un inquiry should
