Mr. CURRY called to the recolleflion of
House, thaV the. objet of the present Bill was to
continue die collect ion of the Irish Revenue nearly
upon its present footing. It contained a clause for
rendering the provisions of the Bill subjesl to repeal
or alteration in the course of the ;resent Session ;
and as he understood, from private communication, .
that there were persons in Ireland who wished for
some alteration, he would apprise the Gentlemen
not intimately connefted u ith that part of the United
Kingdom, that they were not precluded by the pre-
sent measure from proposing whatever they might
think proper, and that it was his intention to move*
for a subsequent Bill, which he hoped would com-
prise every accommodation that was consistent with
the public interest. The present was merely a Bill.
of consolidation. 4 • •
The blanks were then filled up, fixing the duration.
of the Bill to the eyth of September, 1804, and the
Report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
Sir JAMES .IVIONTGOM.ERY obtained leave
of absence for a few weeks, on account of the death ;
of a near relation (the late Colonel)...
The House vent through a Committee on the.-
Expiring Laws Bill, and ordered the report to be re-
ceived to-morrow.

estimates of the sum necessary to make a provision
