Bill, which he said purported to be a Bill to aunt ad the last,

thought that part of the Bill in particular

proceedings on informatiops, highly objectionable. Ilis Lord-
skip said, he did not mean to debate the Bill Imo ; his object

would, he apprehended, be to diminish the influence of the
Crown, without any advantage to the people. It was on this
ground solely, and not from any abstract notions of it, heiog
improper, under anv circumstances, to trench upon the prero-
ative, that he wished, before giving Isis assent t., mea-ure,
