Lord CAA a I NGTON moved the Order of the Day
for the second readng of the Bill for providing tor
d'i'e Ins:lo3ore anajTinprovernent of Certain:Waste and
Uncultivated Lands in England and Wales, without
tcadrliantent in such ca3c4.
'The Bill was forthwii 11: read a second time; previ_
ous to his 'Anton, that the: Bill be committed,—
His; Lordship.-addressed -the-House in a speech. of
toonsideea,ble ° which; he displtyed Much

stanee which must.be of the greatest consolation: so
the'HOuse and to the Country,, when they relleded
that when the =awes propoS'ed by the Bill Were
carried into (Med, a recurrence of that misery and
distress arising, from a OCarCiiy'of that vital article,
could not-take iiace. He adverted to thecireum-
stanee of the great importation of Corn from foreign
Countries Within the two last. years, which were
necessarily purchased at a, great:4isadvantage ; for
these not a less sunk than 7, Millings for each year
were'paia by this COuntry by the eventual opera.
tionk -of the Bily the annual produce of the Country
would -in future abundantly tip Ply consumption`
of its population, I-Ns consideration alone was
f

o such ; intakulable importance, that every
der should vanish into air before ir. The
N)hle Lord thp proceededr to, a, detailed expo-
sit.on of the various provi:ions and regulations of
the Bill, and which took up the greater parr of his
Speech. In thti statement,,from its very detailed
and eomplicatectlVature, as %veil as from the low tone
ands direction of his. Lordship's voice, feeling our-
selves unable, we shall not follow his Lordship, but
through the medium-RA an abstraft Orihe Bill,
Which we shall shortlrlasr before our readers : One
of the leading provisions, goe .to,thtitppoinlpent
of a Board, who, it is proposed, shall have the
chief management and controul of the-;various mat-
ters conneCled with the Mt, -and especially- to take
intOttheir all the Rulesand Standihg
Order& ot -both Houses of fartiament, relative to
Bills of Inclosure. -His Lordship also went. into
some calculations with respeft to. rhe'iavings,'which
he described, would accrue' in consequence of the
Bill, as well as suggested-a variety of, considep-
dons, with respell to which, he deemed the. meal-
sure as likely to .have a salutary and beneficial
tendency.. He concluded by moving, that the Bill
be committed.

,The'LORD CHANCELLOR' observed, that by
his not opposing thsi;Mation for the going into
a Committee, he wished to have it understood, that
he Was by no means pledged to support the Bill' in
its sub'sequent'progreSs. 'He could not refrain,,.he
said, from troubling their Lordships in the ptesent
instance with a few considerations, which deeply
aireCied him with respea to the measure "in quescion.
One of the first objediens that struck Min was, its
originating, in a great degree, with certain bodies'
of men, to whose consideration.it was propo3ed be-
fore Parliament. was resorted to. To these .bodies
of men,las,sueh, the Constitution of this Country
by no means entrusted the. investigation 'of such
topics. - In his progress on some late Circuits,•he
had occasion to observe, that the Sheriffs of several
Counties, who were the King's Officers, submitted
the subje& in question in charge to their respeCtive
Grand Juries. To such a line of proceeding he
was decidedly hostile, as 'if such bodies of men were
suffered to discuss such points, political or any
other kind of topics might as well be submitted
to their consideration. He felt .it his duty to
say as mueh, and had given his opinion while on
the Bench against the praliee. It was
,also with
regret. that he • observed, that on some occasions,
where the sukjeft was treated of, language was
held,' respeft to the Ecclesiatical .Establish.
ments of the Country, which it was neither decent
nor just to use; He should attend to the principle
of the measure as well as to the provisions .Of the
Bill ; and though his anxiety was as great to see his
fellow subjeCts comfortable and well fed, as any
person. in that House, yet he cautioned their Lord-
ships as to the effeft of holding out Elise hopes
with respeCt to this measure. Considering it
With resped to the principle, he was ,attach-
ed to 'that old English maxitn, which ordains that
property should be alienated by Parliament alone;
and in order to shew that certain' provisions
in the Bill clashed with' thkprinciple, he. entered
into some detaili respcaing the same,. particularly
as they affet-led the rights. of Commonage; and
coptended that by them. property was disposed
of without the concurrence of Parliament. He
made a variety of.i observatia9s respeaittg the
.pewers of the propOsed Board, and, as we' under-
stood his Lordship, of those to be trusted in the
Judges by the Bill, On*.Points in which he seemed
to doubt that the judges thernsehres, were competent
to decide. What related to the article of Tithes
involved serious and weighty considerations ;: and he
alluded to *hat some modern 'Writers of a certain
description had held out .upon that point, namely,
'that if thelkight. aTithe were once got
,over,
Landed Titles could be easily affeaed, the prin-
ciples 'of justtee ''sliciuld he' better 'attended to
when :thar:suhicet • was in consideration. . He
then touched upon the patronage to .' be invest.
- the and it 3-at tentilmt nees-,
which he thought rendered it, with respedra;
least to_ itt origin, fitter for the meridian of the
other House. His opinion was, that instead of the
measure's proving etohemical, it would turn nut the
reverse; and as it then stood, would impede rather
than promote a:system of inClosute, arx. that in' it§
areas it would prove more burthensome than the
present mode, as well as create endlesS
In Concluding; His Lordship observed, that he cer-
tainly should hold it his duty to oppose
,the Bill,
even after.comiti,, out of the Committee, 'f'tshould
•
conk out no better than it went in.

The.Dreke cf IiEDFOPD argued in favour of the
Bill, judging that it would conduce C
.the general
prosperity of the Country, and also prevent: the an.
nual and heavy expence of applications to Parliament
for partial Inelosures.
The Earl 11I1ROSLrN expressed considerable
apptehensions.of,theeffed'whiels a measure of this
kind might' produce. He vieived'it with jealousy,
as' likely to trench upon the' old establiphed Laws
and Customs interwoven in-the ConstitutiOn, ana
thought that in such times.as these, the 'greatest
caution should be obsettred,in introducing any sfs_
tem of innovation. yHis Lozdbhip expremloyalajec.ted
to the proposed plan of vesting in the Grand,junes;
at Quarter Sessions a judicial power of deersion in
cases of.proposed Incli.osures. he.iness
with which he did not set they hactprright to 'in.

a very short time,' When a variety-of neceiquy

time nor opportunity to lipen to ebnteSted claims
of Commonage, nor to'fhe objeeliotis of those who
might think themselves aggrieved .by plans of par-
ticular, Inclostres ; not did hi& Lordship,' believeilf
he might judge of the future: from. tlm past) Pi4t
such Inelcisures 'would increase the, Agrieultutil
Piosperity.of the country, in any degree td the ex-
tent that had been supposed. Many who had, for-
merly applied for Inelosures had found the expence
attending them so great, that after a year or two)
they had been induced, in order to repay themselves,
to convert' their arable into pasture Land. His
.Lordship particularly noticed a printed report which
he believed had found its way into the Annals of
the Board of Agriculture,' stating the, result of a
Survey made by two Farmers from East Lothian in
Scotland, on some Agricultural Distrins in York.
shire. These tw9 Scoteh faturts had fat exceeded

the bounds of moderation, for they presumed freely
to remark upon and censure matters of political
ceconomy, with 'which their Agricultural Survey
had nothing to do. They had derived all their
ideas from the different customs and circumstances
of their own Country, and -condemned whatever
in this Country was not found by them to corres-
pond. Hence they took upon them to censure the
system of the Poor Laws, and of Tithes, because

Lord C ARRINGTON, also Accounted for such an
improper survey as that alluded.to, getting abroad.
He said, -they. .were sent up ready printed final

of the .Board, he pointed out many of the improper
passages to themi, and that, in consequence,, they
printed a-pages and prefixed it to, the Survey, la-
menting.that so

or alterations as might be judged proper.
