Mr. WHITBREAD said, he had pledged himself to call the at-
tention of Parliament to the afflicting circumstances to ss hied
'the kingdom was exposed by the repeated int:i.e.ositions of his
Majesty; and he suggested the expec.n my of providing; in. the
event of a recurrence of the same unfortunale malady, against

measure were necessary at any time, that time was not a peo
rind such as the present, when the crown was unchsr such pe-
culiar circumstances. As to the prospect of tlits. succession
fading on an infant, if there were only one life b4ttweesi the
Crown and that infant, it might be wine to make a provision on
