House will have no hesitation in acting upon a principle u welt it
has already sanctioned, and is meeting a necessity which it has

indeed, those measures cannot be etteental. without taking inch
steops as shall provirk for the protection anti security of our own
c. notry. The period of service of some part of the militia Once
has expired, and they have accordingly been disbanded; tv• expec-
tation has been held out to others whose period is about to a spire,
and it is not, of course, intended to disappoint hopes founded Noon
assurances which have been Oven. 1 therefore move.-- That
leave be given to brine in a Bill to enable his Majebsy to draw unt

Lord Milton and Lord Castlereagh entered into some explanation
as to the respective periods of discharging the Militia.
Lord FOI.KSTONE, referring to the legal opinion, which had been
given by the Attorney and Solicitor-General, that tier Militia
having been legally embodied, it was optional with the Crot‘n to
discharge them, observed, that if such was sonnet doctrine, such a
Bill as that moved for by the Noble Lord must be ininecessary.--.
He th.dight the practice whirl' had prevailed of late sears. went to
overturn the system of the Militia ; he meant that of ballotting foe
the militia for the sake of drafting from it into the regulars.
