The Hosts resolved itself into a Committee of
the whole House, to coostder further of a Supply
to be granted to His Majesty.
Mr. Pcactast. called the attention of the
Committee to the subject of the Smaller Livings
iu Encla;ml, the increase of which was the ob-
ject of Queen Anne's bounty. He had himself
given the matter much considerattoti; and from
the pains taken, he was in hopes he smithl have
been enabled to have brought the matter fully
under their consideration in the course of this pre-
scot session ; but though the return. were as yet
but imperfect, those from four dioceses not having
been yet made, yet he thought no time should be
lost, as they approached to the mid of a session, of
doing sousethiug. by way of pledge that the busi-
ness would be ultimately reduced to a system. By
the returns already made, imperfect as they.were.
it appeared, that by the regmlar application of
Quern Anne's Bounty. it would take forty years to
come. to make the smaller livings up to sot. a-year ;
that it would take three times that period, or one
hundred and twenty years, to make them up IMO.
n-rear. anti so on in a greater proportion. He
considered it wise, therefore, to take a step towards
secomplishing the first degree. by proposing to
the House, to vote the sum of 100,0001. to he
paid to the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounce,
to be laid out in the same manner as that fund.
Supposing the House to pursue that system yearly,
without any increase, they would attain the first ob-
ject, namely, the increare of small limp of 601.

That the auto of 100,0001. be greeted to
Ills Majesty, to be by him paid over to the Go-

Lord MILTON, in acceding to the benevolence
of the intended measure, thought it right to cell
the attention of the House to the eircutostauce of
pluralities; because, by adverting to theta, it mislaid
be found there were is% so massy poor clergy as
poor 1!I logs. Another circumatanet washy of at-
tention was, that several of those Put livings were
merely sinecures. He considered thew things
highly oeosaary to be attended to and guarded
against, in the disposition of their bounty.
Mr. S. Tuourros thought it would be better to
double the suns, sod thus to effect their iutentiou
in two years.
Mr. Wl:Amorous considered the posseot bat as

present as an act that would reflect credit oc that
House, which, while accused of profusely eventing
pensions and gratuities to the int;,-t.,•,.tte, was
ationliog relief to those who were troeudt.,.. and
bad no one to ask for them. There was a subject
