Mr. WHITBREAD enquired, whether there was any truth in a
rumour he had heard, and which had caused much alarm in the
steielabom hood of Windsor. namely, that all the fine trees, the orna-
inent of that Park, were marked in ord• r to be cut down and sold,
for the impose of building a palace in the Park ?
Mr. WiIAR FON said, no idea of the kind hail ever been enter.
Pained. The depredations committed on the wood were dreadthl ;
the trees had in voto.equence been marked, in order to render this
offence more difficult No trees were felled by authority.
Mr. W !MDR LAD, Blllitiill4 to his motion fur peace on the 29th,

SirJ Ichal, defended the proceediegsof time Clurt in the cases cited.

fectly justifiable from the gross language which had been applied to

FRIDAY, JUNE 19.
On the Order for committing the Victuallers' Bill,
Mr. D. ti touv opposed it, on the ground, Ist, of its being a legis.
Winn de ; and 'idly. because it interfered in smiling matters
between man mid man, for which a law was unnecessary. A part of
the preamble of the Bill set oat with declaring that children were
likely to have their morals iojnred by heimg allowed to steel peeler
pot.. Here the Hon. Member read- the names of these folder rung

to any measure whose ii ert was to prevent pnblicans from sendhig
p irter in their own vessels; as it would cause nom to chink in public-
hoAses. lie therefore moved to put off the Bill fur three mneth..
mr. nose defended the. Bill, as a measure neeessaty to protect the
interests of a great body of ne n, who were every day subject to heavy
injuries
Mr, Cruse ea said, the Bill was altogether abstr:d. and he hoped the
/louse would reject it.
Mr. WHITBREAD could not account for the oppesitirm of Mr. Croker
nn any other ground. than by supposin2 him to be a Brent pouter
drinker. He had a very extensive knowledge of publicatts, and he
wished to extend his acquaintance with them still further; and he cook,
