rend third time and passed.
Mr. lirogilen, Geroine, Sir 11. !lardy, and other mem-
bers fool the Commons, brought uu the Commissions of Asdze
Itiigulation Bill, and two private bills, which were read the flist

tnne.
The Earl of BLESSINGTON, pursuant to notice. brought in
a bill to facilitate the registration of deeds in Ireland. The Bill
would authorize persons to send their deeds to he memorialized
in an office established in England. A copy of the deed so me-
morialized might then be Wansmitted to Irelawl, and received as
evidence.
The I.OTM ANCEI.I.OII asked when the Noble Earl
intend:el to move the second reeling of the hill.
The Earl of BLESSINGTON answered this day fmtnight.
Fad G It EV, adilressith, the noble Fawl at the bead of his Ma-
jesty's Government. said I could wish to have the opinion of the
dodges us to the power Parliament may have to violaw the 57111
of the late King, by which pmprietors if .1 per cents. hobd their
stock on the seetnity the t shall not be paid ore; until a certain
portion of the public stew.c is paid off: I wish to know whether
the amount of stock mentioned by the Act has been 1,,,na fide
discharged. If Ido not hear this from the learned Judges, I
should like to hear it from the noble Lord upon the woolsack.—
I think it unquiet!, as persons who are to he precluded from
holding, 5 per cent. stuck after Saturday, that the !louse should
have the whole measure before them. I understand that another
bi.l taunt accompany the 5 per cents. bill, to make it prefect ;and
it will be extraordinary if we pass the bill without haring all the
details betiire the house.
The Earl cf LIVERPOOL.—The real merits of this bill
will not depend upon the epiestion whether Government and
Parliamert are competent to pass this hill with reference
to the 26th and te7th of the late King. There will be a
special &wise, giving time to persons not in this country. It is
possible discussion may arise on the principle of the bill ; but I
am prepared to say public inconvenience would result trout
delay m the adoption of this measure. When the Bill does
come fairly be fare the I louse, it will be niv duty to enter into
discussion and combat the objections of the Noble Earl, or any
other noble Peer.
LereIGIIEV said, he lamented that Parliament could not do
justice to one class without injury to another; but the ieteresi of
the majority was at all times to be supported. If the hill was
hurried throtv,h that !loose, it was an abuse of the eoniidenee
of nursons wino placed property in the hands of Government.
The House then adjourned during pleasure, in order to wait
for the Five per Cenuim Bill, which was some time after passed
in the Connwins and brought to the Lords.
The House baring resumed, the bill was received, and rend
the first time. The belVal reading was then liaisitUr to-tuorrow.

TITTRDAY, 31,411C11 1?.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from a
nettilier of persons, complaining of injury sustained by the
iyeation of the Act for the Registration of Settlements. The
petitioners prayed thr relief.—Laid on the table.
The Malin/is of LANSI /OW N also g:tve notice, that a noble
friend then unavoidably absent, would present, on Friday nest,
a petition front a large body of persons in Ireland, on the subject
of Tithes. lie should also present a similar petition on the
same day.
The Earl of LIVE fit POOL row on the order of the day to
move the second reading of this Bill. Ile should not trouble
the !lodic, he said, with many olvervatione on the rneaque.—
The question was, whether they were entitled in good f dth to
proceed with this Bill. It was originally agreed that this Five
per Cent. Stock should not he redeemable betiore 23.0tebtionl. of
the Public 1 Liht should be paid oft: That sum, the noble Earl
contended, hail been paid or the public debt, and ems-teptently
that the stock was redeemable. lie concluded by moving the
Second reading of the bill.
The I AIR 0 C lIA Nth:11.011 said, he should objeet to this
hid if lie did not consider the Five per Cents. redeemable by
law. Ile made this oh creation in consespience of what fell front
Coble Earl last night. His opinion was called fig., mid lie
considered ,it his duty to State fairly to the !louse, that doubts
might atiso on the construction of Acts of Parliament, but it
wis char that every per:sit in Idle none). market had acted upon
an impression that the Five per Cents. were subjeet to redemp-
tion. The Act of the 24ali of George the Third created no diffi-
culty with respect to this measure. There was no part of that
act winch gave the public the benefit of notice as to paying all'
the Five per Cents. The plain condition was. that they should
not be redeemed until 23,000.00 d. be paid tiff That brought
it to the question, had 25.11041,01 d. been paid o:ror not ? It
might he said debt was paid off on one hand, and debt incurred
ou the other ; and some difficulty might arise on that point ; but
it appeared reasonable to suppose the I.4s:ilium would not have
kit that point unnoticed it they had intended to raise the ques-
thin.
Esrl GREY returned thanks to the noble and learned Lord on
the Woolsack. the the pains taken to remove the inieression on
his mind. lie did net state doubts to induce the Heusi: to te•
just the manure, but to gain time for cundileration. It was ad-
mitted, that this Five per Cent. Stock was not to be redeemed
until 25,00,015 t of the public debt was paid off, and tile ques-
tioii was, whether bans tide so moult 01 the debt hail two' dis-
charged. The noble Earl urged the neeiwsity of delay, in order
to Kbul ariament the power of full discussion

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE expressed an orinion that
Fuvernment the power 10 redeem the attack, but objected to
the male of taking the dissents.
The bill was then read a second time. and committed for to-
