figure of its back is oval,- deeply bordered. With rich'
carved tracery, or running scroll pattern, blended.

appropriate carving, of a size corresponding•with the,
dimensions of the chair, the Imperial Crown of theses

the minutest prescriptions of Heraldic distinction.—

Imperial Parliament continued from page 2Y7.

The Petitioner was in the service of Sir W. Manners.

cused from acting as Members, as far as their votes were
concerned.
. Lord CASTLEREAGH thought the more natural course
- would be, instead of submitting the motion at once, to give
notice of it for another day.
Mr. BROUGHAM replied, that he was sorry to find it
considered requisite that u notice sl Id be given. Ile had
considered at', he so unnecessary, that he deemed use motion
to be a matter of Louise; and he had been the mire -
'redly led to this couclusion from the fact that lie and his
Leal 'led Friend (Mr. Denman) had already twice encoded
the Bar of the House on behalf of the Quern, without any
notice being taken by that Muse of such le oeiseding. But
be had only to add, if he and his Learned Friend were not
allowed such permission—that permission, the granting of
which he deemed lobe so much a matter of course—lieshould
consider it due to himself, and his Itoyul Client, hereafter to
urge the Standing Orders against all Members of that House
who should practise as Barristers at the Bar of the House of
Lords, whether they were attending on Appeals, Writs of
Error, or otherwise, in their professional capacity. Ile
should deem such proceeding most particularly due to his
bent.
The conversation here ended, and the notice was
entered for to-morrow.
Lord J. RUaSELL, after enlarging on the extreme
severity of the sentence passed on Sir M. Lopez by the
Conti of King's Bench, for bribing voters, especially as
compared with some other sentences, moved an Address
to the kiiog, praying his Majesty to be pleased to udtigate
the same.
Mr. CANNING and Lord CASTLEREAGH could not
approve of the Address,
Motion withdrawn.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned.

Conewaer.—Dr. PHILLIMORE moved, that Richard
Armstrong Jervoise be called to the Bar, and discharged,
after having beet' reprimanded, for his contempt of the orders
or the Grantham Election Committee.—Agreed to.
The Petitioner was brought to the Bar and reprimanded
by Mr. Speaker, who said, that the prisoner ought to have
paid prompt obedience to the warrant of the House. It
was true he had pleaded ignorance of the force of such do-
cument. Under all the circumstances, the House was of
opinion that there was no intention to interrupt the comic of
justice; and therefore his petition was acquiesced in. lie
was discharged on payment of .his fees.
914.4iNT11101ELECTION.--Dr. PHILLIMORE, having
adverted to the Grantham Report, that a practice had grown
op in the Borough, eif paying money to out-vuters, under
colour of defraying expellees and lOW of time, and it was
importato that there should be a declaratory resolution
on the subject; and although he admitted the practice to be
equivocal, Ise moved ASA ItSNollitioll—tiliit Others might not
be misted-.that the practice of paying money to out-voters,
under colour of defraying expellees, was illegal.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE thought it was not adviseable 'has
setruptly to pass a reselutien, Sedating that to be illegal
which was avowed to be illegal.
Mr. W. SMITH said, that the doubts of some Gentlemen
made this Resolution necessary, if this practice were
allots ed.
Doctor PH I UT MOR E replied, that he had brought for-
ward the Restitution, Ds It Member and the organ of the
Grantham Election Committee ; and its motive was to lint
an end to a practice width had long prevailed. He believed
the practice to he illegal, but he fraud the practice might
prevail after what he had beard to-night ; and if it did, the
consequences would be met fatal.
Straitens were ordered to withdraw. The number's were
Ayes 66—Noes 60.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE gave notice, that early in the
next Smote'', in coesequeuce of Ike blll3ll majority by which
the resolution bad been carried, he should bring the subject
before the House.—(clear.)

Mr. C. W 1 N N our! Mr. !SANK ES made a few observa-
