Mr. HUAI'S roverted to the declaration of the lord president
at Edinbiar‘b, in defence of Capt. Brown, an OffiCer of Police;
that it was a cannon practice in the army and navy to sign false
munch and reams. Caatein Brown had been convicted of such
an offence. He denied that any such general practise existed.

Mr. WYVILL then rose. He thought that the pubtillicerecd
denented that the house should be folio mod : he was, .

Mr. Snpent ONSLOW declared the proposed schrnfe of
Whoa to be 1111104 obnoxious. It would go to disfranchise many
most excellent Individuals. It had lawn the practice of indivi-
dads to adiert to a ti•aue of representation circulated about 1793,
statingthat certain noblemen patronized and returned members
der certain places. That paper was most inaccurate. For irstance
it said that the Duke of Devonshire returned a member tie
•Derbyshire, and the Duke of Bedford for Bedfordshire. lie
should op fuse the motion, because he was against disfranchising
any'
_man whatever.
Mr. SYKES said be should give his vote fur the committee,
because lie was fin this subject being further considered. The
constitution said, that the people were entitled to be repre-
sented; he asked no more than that the house should be the
expres. image of the sentiments of the people. That was even
Mr. Burke's opinion. The member for Yorkshire (Mr. S. Wort-
ley) seemed to think that the house of commons should represent
the express image date wishes of ministers. lie was constrained
to say, that the house did not represent the sentiments and
wishes of the people. Many recent votes proved this fret, parti-
cularly those respecting the Queen, the army estimates, ei.c. He
thought ,oroc reform was wanted, therefore he should eote for a
committee. But he was compelled in sincerity to say, that there
were many
_portions of the plan Prom which he must differ. Ile
was for adding to the counties So members. and for having 50
members fur populous places, which were not now represented.
He avowed himself to be a reformer; he pledged himself always
to support it till he tritunahed. He was for meeting this question
now that it was presenter in a friendly manner ; he did not want
es deal with it when it might be forced upon them by violent

alt. RENNET (Wiltshire) felt himself bound to support the

Mr. CANNING stated, that in thef absence of the principal
members on both sides of the house, %/ho were in the habit of
taking part in the diseu.slons, and especially in the absence of the
hon. mover foe a committee, he felt at pis duty to abstain from
delaying dreamlike to which he perceived honourable gentlemen
were &heady proposed to come. This statement was received
with cheers, and strangers being spin excluded, the Iwum:
divided—Foe Mns Lainbton'*neoutn 43—Against it 3.5.
Mr. LAMBTON, who hin been absent,. during the dividou
that occurred in so unexpected a manner, afterwards entered the
house. and he was greeted with some bursts of " laughter 1" He
rose, and was proceeding to complain of "the manner in which a
division had been urged during his absence—but
The SPEAKER called hint to order, stating, that he could
not proceed except he had some specific complaint to make:.—
The Speaker added that perseverance in such irregular course was
not calculated to preserve that house or its dignity.
Mr. LAMBTON said he had no specific anupleird to make
In the shape of a motion, and he must therefore bow to the chair.
The other orders of the day having been disposed of the house
