came out of their landlords' pockets. He was glad

INDEMNITY BILL.
The Arronevr-Gstranat. n.nved the Order of
the Day for the House resolving itself into • Com-
mittee of the whole House on the Indemnity Bill.
On the question that the SPARER do leave the
Chair—
Sir W. BUILROUGHS rose, and gave notice, that
lie would, Ott the Report, move au amendment to
the Bill.
Lord CASTLERetta said. he believed no amend.
mint could be made op the Report, unless, in the
Committee, some alterations were made in the Bill.
The &MAILER Said, the uniform practice was,
wheu no amendment was made in the Committee,
to receive the Report immediately, and appoint •
div for the third reading.
Sir %V. Bottum:Gut said, lie understood, from
what a Learned Gentleman said, on the preceding
Might, that it would be necessary to make a verbal
alteration in one of the clauses, io order to exclude
from the operation of the Bill, persons who had.
,reed the papers of individuals who had been
tikeii up at tumultuous amemblies. If that einem'.
gotta were made, the Report &mid be received to-
morrow, and then he might propose his clause.
The Sotactnoa-Getreartt. said, he had merely
,h,,,,vrd, in moaner to the argument of a Learned
Grotleatan (Sir g. Readily) that the Bill did not
riorlid to permits who had seized the papers of
I.,fte•ho were arrested for publishing blasphemous
seditious libels—aml, therefore, that the
Lranied Gentleman's argument did toot apply.
Sir %V. Buneousus now understood, from what
feii from the Learned Gentleman, that the Bill did
p to indemnify those who mixed the papers of
'tenons taken at tumultuous assemblies, as well as
those who possessed themselves of the papers of in-
dividuals arrested for treasonable practices. If that
"ere the case, the Bill was inure objectionable than
he before conceived it to be. He was mar: anxious
to more a clause of a very important iodine.
Lord CMITIAREAGII said, the third reading,
slack would take place to.morrow, would give him
an importunity of doing so.
The House then resolved itself iota the Coin-
mittre.

Sir J. NIMPORT gave notice, that he would, tn.
morrow, move a clause, providing, that " nothing
iu the Bill should mid to discharge or indemnify
persons guilty of any undue severity towards indivi-
duals also had been arrested for the offences therein
ineirtioued." He was told that this Bill did not ex-
tend to such persons—but it was so worded as to be
Tell liable to misinterpretation, end, therefore, he
avoid have the exception distinctly stated. He
sltnuld also move an aroesidmeot to the preamble—
which set forth " that some acts haul been done, not
strictly justifiable iu law, yet, as they were done
far the public peace and safety, it was necessary to
indemnify persons who committed the same." His
Ilnendinctit would provide " that actions alight be
• brought against such persons—but that they should
Le indemnified, by the payment out of the public
vtrenue, of such costs as a jury awarded against
them" If those acts were done for the public
safety, it was fair that the public, who received the
Learnt of them, should pay the price of that be.
orfit.—( Nene, hear.)
The Bill then went through the Committee—the
Tl..use resumed—the Report was received—and
t c third reading ordered for to-morrow.

THE I3RITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MARCH 13, MIL

Two subjects of considerable importance—one
of them, indeed, of vital interest to the country in
general--were last night brought under the cousi-
deration of the House of Commons. We allude to
the repeal of the Leather Duty, and the revision
of the present laws for the management of the Pour
Rites. From the reception which both these
subjects experiences' from the House, and the
spirit of the propositions relating to them, we may
venture to augur a favourable result.
The pressure of the additional duty 01/ Leather
has been sensibly felt by the labouring and agri-
cultural classes of the country ; hut what are the
wants or the wishes of the people, in comparison
with the alleged necessity of maintaining a military
force, to flatter the vaulty sr soothe the alarms of
Ministers? We, therefore, expected that Lord
A LTIIOUP's motion, last night, for a Bill to repeal
this pert of the taxes, would encounter the opposi-
tion of the CH4NeELLoR of the EXCHEQUER. Its
this we were not disappointed; but with no less
surprise than pleasure we state, that notwithstand-
ing this opposition, the Noble Lord was successful
i, a division, and obtained leave to bring in Isis
Bill by a majority of 10; there being for the Bill
94—against it 84.
The subject of the Poor Laws, the miless.
source of irritation viol contention in the country,
mud the constant topic of just complaint, was in-
troduced to the notice of the Muss by Mr. S.
BOURKE, the Chairman of the Committee.—

One of the proposed meths which had
also beeo recommended in the Report of the Com-
mittee, is the appointment of a 'berm:mem overseer,
who, from long contitniance iu office, might be
suppeeed best enabled to estimate the merits of the
respective claimants for parochial assistance. We
fear, however, that this will not tend to correct the
existing ev.l ; mod on this point we should sup
Kest u reference to the mode practised in Scut-
lam,, where the Elders of the Church are the
judges of private merit, and the distributors of the
public charity—and who, from their personal re-
spectability, and habitual acquaintance with most
of their parishioners, deter persons from throwing
thenss?lves, with a want of pride and an indif-
ference to character, on the charity of their neigh-
boors for support. We heartily approve of the
proposition fur enabling parishes to purchase or
rent lands for the purpose of emplo)ing paupers in
agriculture. These nod many other points will, nu
doubt, be satisfactorily examined by the House of
Common. in Committees, when the entire system
shall have been developed and reduced to regu-
larity in the Bills about to be introduced.
