Mr. Ttsmwav replied. lie put it to the House, after all
'Ile!, had heard, what probability the country had of elm
seeirg a return to Cash Payments. In his opinion, the &Burr
t the boasted experiment of the Bank in 1816 was owing
ti• their issuing a mach larger quantity of paper, after baying
pa'ai in specie about fil.e millions of their old notes. He
therefore could not honestly believe that the Bank did
really intend to :atonic Cash Payments. He was net, how

Mr. NTAttnntitt brought in a Rill for the better preservation of
,flame :e.w.on parts of Wales. On the quesnca for tut

2.:ad a Cot time,
Mr. Cravens ohserved, the severity of the Game Laws, as they
it present stood, was most excessive. and the concie6o:is under theirs
numerous. He understood there was at present au instanes of an
inctvidual having b.rr convicted in penalties ainou..tii.g to 10001.,
watch enaltim, as the law now stood, the Crown h d not the
rawer of remitting. He tinned when the Penal Code c..aie under
tlte c,asideration of the House, one of Cie first objects to which
the attention of Parliament would be turned would be the Game
After a few words from 31r. MADDOCKS, the Hill was read a
first time.
Mt, DA.ctirs said, he held b his hand a Petition most nume-
totulv and respectably signed, by several of the principal :Merchants,
Hanliere.- and outer.. inbabitants of Bristol, praying against too
precipi:ate a residiption of Cair.pa;ments; ani entreating the
'House seriously before that step was adopted, to consider the
rub; etc.
Mr. CALCHAYT did not augur much good from the labours of
the proposed Committee. A great deal had becn said of the fairness
with watch this Committee was to he elected. Now he had teen a
her o: the proposed names, and found that it was by no means so
candid a selection as had been Imast,d of. The nurot,,rs as to party
were wren to fourteen aid he was astonished to find the name
et an Hon. and Lealli;ti Friend of his omitted, an ind;vidual
wiose talents far titian®o stood as high u those of any person in the
H oust.
Mr. Tztitirgie was equally disappointed at not seeing the name
of his Hon. and Learned Feiend thc list. If Ministers would
consent to nitioduce the vaine of his Hon. and Learned Friend, he
wo :Id not obiect to any of the other names in the list.
Mr. Laweos saw the name of a learned person from Doctor's
Commons in the list. tie was at alms to conceive what knowledge
that Right Hen. and Learned Gentleman could have of' Finance.
He should wish to see that Hon. Member's name withdrawu, and
thc name of Lord Liv:ceflo introduced instead of it.
The Petition was then .sought up, read, and ordered to lie upon
the table.
