Debtors confined in the King's, Bench Prisen;pray-
inc; for relief. Seeiner a Noble Lord (Noire) in his
place; he wished to take this opportunity of inquiring
whether his Noble Friend had any intention of pro-
posing any measure for the relief of. InSolvent,Debtors,
or any general law upon the subjeel. The latter
measure he considered to be much preferable to the.
praftice of passing temporary Ads for the relief of
that description Of pet-Sons.
, The Earl of MOIRA expressed his desire• to con-
cur-in any measure for the relief of the description
of persons alluded to by his Noble Friend ;- but a
general law upon the subject would require much
consideration before it could be brought forward,
in the present state of public affairs, with -the
varkgy of important business which pressed upon
his attention, and which could not be. postponed; it
was impossible for him to bring forward any mea-.
si,ire upon the subject. LOoking_ forward, also, to.
the multiplicity of busineSs which would come be-
fore the House, he thought it would be utterly im-
pradicable for any general law of this description to
. be framed during thepresent Session. lf, howe'ver,
