MR. H. TOOKE's ELECTION.

Earl TEMPLE said; he rose to apologise to the
House for the long delay which had occurred since
the time he had moved for the appointment of a Se.
lea Committee, for the purpose of inquiring into
the. eligibility of Mr. H. TOOKE'S Eleaion.
`delay, he assured the House, had proceeded from
severe indisposition, which had for some time pre-
vented his attendance in the House. He now moved,
That the House will, on Monday next, takein_
to consideration the Minutes of Examination taken
at the Bar of the House, and the Report of the Se-
lea Committee appointed to examine the Journals,

Orders to sit in that House. The Motion being
agreed to. •

necessary according to the forms.of the House, that
an order should be served on HortNE TooK, Esq.
requiring his attendance in his place on Monday

for the present, in order that he might have time to
look into precedents in such cases ; and mentioned
that he should bring forward a motion on the sui).•
jea tolmorrow.
Mr. BRAG 3E brought up the, Report of the
Committee of Supply, when the Resolutions were

Mr. JOHNSTON referred to Papers which had
been- moved for relative to the judgments of Ad-
miralty' and Vice Aamirotycoorts in eases alreft-
ing the Maritime. Rights
,of Nations, and thc dis-
puted question. whether free ships constituted free
goods. It was an objea of great importance, and
more • especially at the present jun'iure, 'when it
had given rise to our dispute with the Powers
forming the Northern Confederacy. Some mea-
sures ought to be taken in consequence of the
decisions of these. Courts tending to mark the
sense of Parliament relative to the chndna to be ob.
served towards Neutral Powers.. He thought it
would appear from these Papers that there had been
gross abuses on the pare of these Tribunals, and that
injuries had been done to Neutral Nations ; that
great expellee and delay had attended the reversal
of their Sentences. when brought before the Privy
Council, and that the 'evils hence arising had exeit,
ed Neutral Nations first to protea• their CoMmeree
by Convoys, and when that failed, they had then
entered into a hostile Confederacy. He then. moved
.44 That a suffieiAt number of Copies be printed for
the use of the Members, of the Account laid on the
Table, stating the number of Neutral Ships brought
into. Ports by Ships of War, their cargoes, sentences
of condemnation, and the several Appeals against
such sentences pronounced in the Courts of •Admi-
ralty, and Vice-Admiralty Courm, as they now
stand ready for hearing."—Ordered.
