TIIVRSDAY, MARCH 31.

The Indictments Bill, and the Orders in Council Indemnity
were severilly read a third time and passed.
I„ a c„,„,„i!!..e ve way jven to bring in a Bill for pre-
venting the Expor:ation ;,1* Wool to Ireland, unleis a bond for

1i r: broudit up a Bill Prohibiting the (rant of Places
in Reversion for .1 oiot s ith Benefit of Survivorship, for
a time in be limited. Bead a first time.
ma .1. .NEWJWITT moved for a Return of all Mlles granted in
Reversion in Ireland, to tl\o or more persons for their concur-

rent lives.
Mn. rosreasnid. ::tat such a return had been made during the
Lieutenancy of the Duke of Bedford.
Stu .1. Arm row/. said, that in the last return five of these
offices had been omitted. The last return was made eight days
before the Duke of Bedford acted as Lord Lieutenant. The
Account was ordered.
The Dublin Police Bill was read a second tim,, committed,
the blanks filled up, the Report received, ordered to be printed
as amended, and th Bill to he taken into further consideration
on Thursday, the `?Bth of April next.
Lotto .1..111,11/i,Tom rose to submit certain resolutions for in-
demnifOng the Nabob of Oude for the treatment he had ex-
perienced from the Marquis Wellesley. The Noble Lord moved
a string of Resolutions, stating generally, that by the Treaty
between Lord Teig-nmouth and the Nabob of Oude, the annual
subsidy of the Nabob was 50 lacs of rupees. but that by the
Treaty with Lord Wellesley- that sum had been enereased to 730
laes.—The last resolution suggested the propriety of the East
India Company revising that TreatY, in order that the Nabob
might be indemnified for the losses he had sustained.
Ma. Devo.ss moved the previous question on all the Noble
Lord's resolutions, excepting the last, to which he said, he
should give a flat and positive negative.
Mn. 11. Mturrxr supported the resolutions ; contending, that
no case had been made out. sheaving, that there was the smallest
particle of either justice or policy in the conduct of Lord Wel-
lesley towards the Nabob of Oude.
Mn. R. Tann!: rnx had always deprecated the policy pur-
sued by Marquis Wellesley in India. The unfortunate Nabob
had been very ill treated, in compelling him to sign a Treaty
under the horrors of compulsion. The House, therefore, ought
to do justice to the injured Prince. The Nabob had, in all re-
spects, been treated like Bonaparte's conquered Princes, in
squeezing front them their last penny ; under the preteure of its
being done by way of " Treaty" he was sorry to 1:60 strong
language, but the circumstances warranted it. The Court of
Directors never sanctioned the measure ; they bad been called
upon to give their usual approbation before they had read the
'Treaty,

i'lw House divided—For the previous question So—!gains
