SCOTS APPEAL.

SIR JAMES COLHOUN, Bart. V. the PROVOST
*id others, the Town -win is t Pat es-of-Dornbe ten . •
Counsel were heard in, continuation relative to
this Appeal, .the fufther‘hearitig.pkwhiclyyy
Toned till Monday.
- Eleven Bills, chiefly private, were brought up
from the commons, by different Gentlemen, and
respeCti.vely 'read a first time. •
The tills upon the Table wore forwai,le:l in their
respetti-ve stages. •
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated,-that with
respell to the important Appeal .Causes, IVIEDrz tES
op;BERESPORD, and FULLARTONS DAL‘RYMPLE,
-Which stood over for, Judgment; he, should Ilave to
.propose,a fartherdelay in regard to that proceeding.
The More he considered the 'falter case, the more he
felt its importance, and the necessity of giving it
the most mature consideration: " He well knew the
anxiety \vhich must ohtdin with those concerned
respeeting their Lordships decision upon this case.
He then referred to the circumstance of Judgment
having been already, inane than once postponed re,
speding it, and, as we understood his. Lordship,
he seemed to say, -that no farther 'deliy th;in- what
he shoidd then propose, was -iniend'ed. He' then
moved, " That the' farther'-consideration of the
above-mentioned Appeals- be deferred till Wednes-
day next;" which propoal meeting the genera
concurrence of their Lordships, was ordered accord-
ingly.
The consideration of Hayes's Petition respeeting
his 'non-attendance on -the, occalon of his Divorce

, Bill, now pending, before their Lordships, was
I postponed till 'Tuesday; as was the second reading
of his (Hayes's) Divorce Bill, till 'Wednesday next.
Their Lordships then; after disposing of some
private Business, adjourned (to-morrolv being the
Anniversary of the Restoration) till "Monday next.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

THURSDAY,' MAY 28.

Asateaomny's,Pension Bill, the Bill
for rendering valid. all Acts done in consequence, of
three, Prders of Council; so far as they regard all
Bilis of fitxchange diawn in Russia, for the freight
and detention of Russian; • Danish, and Swedish
Ships, th'e Bill for the Improvement:of the Revenue
and Manufactures Of the Isle of Man, and the'Bill
for the repairing County Bridges, were severally
read a second time, and committed for Mondak.next.
It was ordered that the House, at irs'rising, shall
atijourn till Monday.
'Mr. ROBSON, pursuant to notice, rose to move
for an Account of all Loans or Subsidies granted to
Foreign Powers, during the course of the present
I War, together With an Account of all Interest paid
on tie same. As a Memker of Parliament, he con-
tamded..that he had a right to call for an Account of
the Dishflr-,ement of Public' Money:, An annual
Vote of 150,0001. for lieeret. Services is agreed to
by the House, that it may he enabled to call for a
full and specific account of 'the application of all
other sums voted by it, from . the Ministers to
vluim the :application of them is entrusted.—
Within the last nine months, appeared: from Pa.,
pers on 'she Table, that no less than four millions
sterling have been sent
.-out.of the Country. He
wished to know bow this money had been' applied.
Besides, the sums voted for the Airily .Extraordi.
Juries last year, still remain unaccounted for. He
meant also 'to move for an account of the disburse-
rn.ent, of theft 'sums. He wished to have got these
before the. Subsidy to. the QUEEN of PokTOOAC
was Voted ; for he was convinced, that if the House
had been aware of the Vast amount of the Subsidies
which have been already voted, ante at the same
time had called to mind the treatment this Country
has received'from those Powers whom. it paid to
fight their own battles, it would not, have agreed
to yote. at present another Subsidy. to another Fo-
reign Power for the same purpose. But the fael. in
his opinion was, that .this Subsidy was voted for
the old purpose of. ;keeping up the War on the
Continent. He was aware. that a large Vote of
Credit will be soon called for by Ministers, and he
thou ht it would be necessary to restrain them-from
sending any of it Out of the Country to' subsidize
Foreign -Powers. When its is reenlleaed that
the' sending so much money out of 'the CountrY
in Subsidies was the cause of the stoppage of
the Bank---when it is recolleeled' that/this stop-
page, occasioned the vast increase of the Paper
Currencr, and that this -increase of Paper is the
principal 'cause of the present High Price of Provi-
sions, he : thought, that
,the House would agree,
that some meagures ought to he taken to put an end
,to this ruinous system. The •gold is drained., out
of the ec unity. The good Allies, whom it subsi-
dizes, will give it very little thanks for its- Paper,
;end' will care nothing for the. solfd, system of Fi-
Nance, He concluded with moving, " That an
Account l)e laia.befOre'the House of the Amount of
the different Subsidies and Loans grante&to Foreign
PoWers, in the courtx of the present War, &c."—
The Nlotions was put and agreed to.
Mr. RQB.3ON then ftirther moved, " That there
be laid before the House, an Account of the Distri-
bottiOn of the Stun of' two Millions 500,0001.' voted
to defray. the - ArmY Extraordinaries for the Year
I Soo."

Mr. VANSITTART had %no objeaion to this
Motion, but merely, that the Account was already
before the House.
Mr. ROBSON had made inquiries but could not
find it, or learn that it had ever' been presented.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
proposed: to the Hon. Gentleman to put off this
motion, till Monday, by which nine he can ascertain
if the account has been laid before the House, and
then, if he should find either that it has not, or that
if is dereaive in dates or other things which the
Gentleman may wish for, he can renew his
poiion, kind ha would assure the Hon. Gectlemall
that-it should Meet with nu ypposition from him.

Mr. RoBSON coincided in this suggestion.
The House resolved itself into a Committee on,
CAMPBELL'S Divorce Bill, Mr. NEW BOLT in the
ADAM appeared as Counselifor the Bill, and
ealled4e'ver4l Wittesseki who clearly proved the
Adultery the pare 'of Mrs. Campbell. with
.Mr. Addison, her brother-in-law. -
Mr. 7OLLIFFE, on looking at the Bill, ex_
pressed-his sAaprizeon finding a clause in it altogether-
unusual in such Bills, prohibiting the marriage of
Mrs. Campbell durin.!.; the life of her husband
Dr.-Campbell. 'This clause he thotight deserved
very full and serious deliberation. For his own part,
and hd believed it was the case with most Gentle_
men in the House, he was entirely unaware
of the nature .of the Bill when he came to
th HouSe. - In order, thereforea that it may re-
ceive that' fair attention and discussion which -the
importance of this provision of it at least appeared
to him to require, he would now move, that the
irnian of the Committee be instruded to report
prOgres, and ask leaVe to sit again.

Me. SHERIDAN said he was entirely ignorant
of the provisions of this Bill when he came to the
House,-but he 'confessed that he could not „see the
propriety of the Clause alluded to by the Hon. Gen-
tleman. It seemed to be an attempt to apply to
particular Divorce Bills, the principle which had
last year been attempted to be laid down in a Ge-
neral Bill on the subjed. An Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had engaged to bring forward a Bill this
Session, for establishing the principles of the Bill
of last Sessions, but as he has not before now
brought it forward, he presumed that he had given
up.his intention. As to the Clause in this Bill,
prohibiting Mrs. Campbell's marriage during the
life of her husband, he knew' not what had induced
its adOption in another place. If the particular
circumstances of this case rendered it expedient
to prohibit the marriage of Mrs. Campbell, why is
the prohibition confined to the life of her husband
Dr. Campbell is not prohibited from marrying again,
and. surely it would not diminish his comfort in a
future matrimonial connedion, nor at all affect his
enjoyment of its comforts, that this unfortunate as
well as guilty woman, should be allowed to conned
herself in marriage with some other man. He did
not mean that she should be allowed to marry the
man with whom she hasthadber criminal intercourse.'
The Laws of the Country are sufficient to prevent
such an incestuous marriage, and beaides, there is a
separate Clause in the Bill to prohibit such a mar-
. riage. ' At all events,.. he thought that tune should.
be allowed to consider 'fully of the Bill.. , •
The SOLICITOR GENERAL declared, that
circumstances only had prevented him from.bring.
ing in this Session, the General Bill which he had
last Session given notice of his intention to bring
in ; yet he had not laid aside his idea, but Would
probably bring it forward at some future time. He
professed to be totally unacquainted with this Bill,
till he came to. the House,' and whatever might be
his opinion respe&ing the expediency of a general
Bill for preventing the Marriage of criminal parties,
he must allow, that there is a great diif-:,rence be-
tween it, and •the expediency of preventing such a
marriage, merely in a particular case,— Indeed, IR-
thought that cases of Adultery ought to be the sob-
ject
merely of Judicial, not of Legislative or Par-
:liamentary Proceedings, that the nature of these
proceedings should be entirely according to the pre-
sent law on the subject ; that' a separation a mensa
et thoro s'hoOd be granted equally at the suit:,of the
man 'and the woman ; but, that here the proceedings
should stop, and that the Legislature should not in-
terfere to grant Divorces e I.,vinculo matt iirtoyi7i.
the object of the Motion for delay was not to frns-
. trate the objets of the Bill? and' to deprive Dr.
Campbell of his DiVorce, but merely ,to give time
for consideration of the Clause prohibiting Mrs.
Campbell's marriage, he shofild not, objet to it.
Mr..
.7OLLIFFE assured the House,' that-the.
only ()Ned of his motion was, that due time might
be afforded for...the consideration of the Clauses of
the Bill. •,

Mr. PIERREPOINT: thought the .Claine pro.
hibiting Mts. Campbelk's ;marriage daring thelife
of Dr". Campbell, was .authorized by the circum-
stances of the case, •and therefore he should oppose
any delay on that ground.
Th. SPEAKER thought that though the Clauses
of the. Bill Inv be good, it may be proper to allow
more time for the further discussion of theth than
they can receive at present. Certainly some of the
Clauses of this Bill are of the highest importance,
and deserve the most serious consideration. That
they may receive it, and that the House may be
enabled to deeide upon them with due 'deliberation,
he thought that the MotiOn ought to be agreed, to.
The Question was then put and carried, that the
Chairman report progress and ask leave to sit again.
The Report' was made to the House, and, the
Committee ordered to sit again on Wednesday.
next. • .1 • , • •
The ATTORNEY GENERAL brought in a Bill to
indemnify certain Persons who since the ist of Fe.
bruary, 1793, have been concerned in apprehend..
ing, imprisoning, or detaining certain Persons un-
der the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Aft, which
Was read a first time, ordered tp be printed, and to
be read a second time on Tuesday next. _

The Bill for continuing, for a limited time, Mar-
tial Law in Ireland, was brought in, read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tues-
day next.
A Message from the Lords intimated that they
had agreed to,several Private Bills, and had passed
Mrs. Addison's Divorce, Bill, to which they de-
sired the concurrence of the House.

A Motion was made that this Bill be read a first
time.

Mr. gOLLIFFE did not mean to oppose the
first reading of this Bill, but he thought it a of
so extraordinary and navel a nature, that he ex-
pressed hits determination to bring it to a full dis.
cussion in some future stage.
The Bill was• then read a first time, and ordered
to be read a second time. •

, Mr. JOLLIFTE hopeti there would be no objec-
tion 'to its being printed before it should be read a
second time.

The SPEAKIR said that it veto unusual ever to
print Private Bif,s.

Mr. N. V ANSITT ART hoped, that as little de-
lay as possible would be made in the passing of this
Bill; as the whole expences of it are paid by Mrs.
Addison's father; who is very little able- to hear
the additional expence of extraordinary delay.
The was ordered to be read a second time on
Wednesday next. •

Mr. BR AGGE moved, by order of a Committee,
for leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate into one
Att, certain Provisions inserted in all incloore
Bills.—Leave granted.
Mr. ABBOT moved, that the House do now
take into farther Consideration, the Report of the
Committee appointed to consider so much of the
4th Article ,of the Union with Ireland, as relates to
the qualifications of Persons holding Offices under
the Crown in •Ireland, to sit in the United
_Parlia-
ment. He made this Motion as introductory to
that .of which he had given notice yesterday, viz.
For leave to bring in a Bill, to ascertain what Of-
fices in Ireland disqualified the Holders of them
from a Seat in the House..

This previous motion being agreed to,
ABBOT' observed, that the regular form of
proceeding, and that which he meant to adopt was,
to move -the House to agree to theßesolutioni of
the Committee, and then to move for leave to bring
in. a Bill pursuant to these Resolutions. It appeased
obvious, that great inconvenience must arise from
continuing the arrangements on this subjeft as they
now stand: By the 4th Article-of the Union, it is
determined that no more than 20 persons holding
offices under the Crown can sit in the House of
Commons of the United Kingdoms. Now it is evident
that this aitiele itself. looks to some future arrange-
ment. The principle of limiting the number is per-
fatly anomalous in the Constitution of the British
Parliament, but from the words of this clause of the
4th Article of Union, it does not appear whether
offices held for life or offices held at pleasure under
the Crown are signified. If it is understood to
mean, that not more than 20 persons holding offices
for life under the the Crown shall he admitted
• to sit -in the House of,Commons, then no restraint is
• laid on the influence of the Crown in that House,
because persons holding such offices are not so
liable to this influence, while those who are most
liable to it, viz.. persons holding offices at pleasure
are, admitted to sit in the House without any re-
striftion of' number. If, on the contrary, it is
understood
,to 'refer to persons holding offices at
-pleasure-under the Crown, the same objedion would
.not lie in an equal degree, but many inconvcniencies
would still result... In case of a dissolution of Par-
liament,. for instance, What would happen ? a
race for priority of elation would take place be-
tween those holding such places, and the first
twenty whose eletllions are returned to the Crown
Office, would be allowed to sir, and all others hold-
ing such places must be declared not duly eleded,
without any regard to the fitness of things, or to
Parliamentary usage and convenience. These eir,
cumstances obviously rendered it necessary that
some new arrangement should be made. The Corn.
mittep appointed to consider the subjed, aware of
this necessity, proceeded first to inquire into the
various laws that have been made in this Country
. since, the. Revoluriuu for ..thrt_aisCpalifiCadOn Of
persons holding certain offices. They next .
quired what have been the Laws passed by the
Parliament of Ireland on the same subjed. It
appeared to them, that 'the most eligible plan
would be to transcribe the Laws of the one Count
try, and to make them the Laws of the other. The
die& of this opinion was a Resolution, tdeclar.
that all persons concerned it' the distribution 'of •
the Revenue, Contradors, , Commissioners of the
Customs and Excise, &c. ought to be rendered in-
eligible in lieland as well as Great Britain, to sit
in the House of Commons. The .next point was,'
to determine when . this disqualification shall take
effect.
.0n referring to precedents, it was found that
disqualification Ads had sometimes been made to take
died immediately on their being ,past, sernetimes
at the end of the Session of Parliz-:tnent, and some
times only .on the Dissolution of the then Parlia-
ment. This last-plan seemed the best to b' adopt-
ed. It was his wish that the measure should bear
as little as possible on individuals, and he could
have Wished to haVe made some exceptions in the
Bill; but on looking into the Records of Parliament,
he could find no instance of any such exception
having.been' made in similar cases, and. he thought
it better to adhere to Parliamentary and Constiru.
.tional Usage, than to consult personal feelings or
private interest. He then moved that the Resolu:
rims of the Committee be agreed to.
Sir JOHN PARNELL thought it -would be
fair and advisable to make an exception in favour
of the Chief Commissioner of the Board of Irish Re-
venue, for the sake of managing matters of business
of that description coming before the House; and
concluded with high encomiums in favour of the
person now holding that office.
Mr.- ABBOT commended the manly and liberal
way ini which the Right Honourable Baronet had
stated his sentiments, and that he built them upon
public grounds of expediency. The deviation tug_
gested had not been out of the view of the Com-
mittee; he confessed his own opinion to be,- that it
was better to abide by the general principle he had
already stated, but he was not so wedded to this
opinion but that he svished to hear the sentiments of
Gentlemen on the subject, and should be happy, if
in the future discussion it should be satisfattorily
made out that the exceptions could he adopted On
the ground of, public utility and local convenience.
Sir R. BUXTQN said, he saw no necessity why
the person holding the Office referred to,- should he
allowed..-to.sit in the House for the sake of giving
it information, 'which might be had from him as
well, he being out-of the House as in it.
The Resolution was then agreed to, and a Bill
ordered to be.brought in pursuant thereto.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for
leave to bring in a Bill for the more speedy reco-
very of Debts due to Ms MA) ESTY in Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, and for the better Administration
of Justice within the same. Sir EDWARD stated
the objet of his motion to he the better execution
of Judgments pronounced, by transmitting a certi-
fied Copy of Judgments obtained in the different
Courts, and to cnalAe these Courts to which such

Orders were transmittod, to issue Orders.urr.

IRISH ELECTIONS.

Mr. ABBOT said,-- he rose for the purpose of
moving for leave- to bring in a Bill to regulate the
Decision of Controverted Eleaions in Ireland. The
subjea. was important in many points of view, and
particularly to the interests of Gentlemen .repre.
senting Ireland in Parliament. -fie was convinced
of the mischievous effeds which would 'result 'front
the continuance of the present plan, in case of
numerous vacancies, and no supply-made before a
dissolution of Parliament. By the 4th Article of
the Union with Ireland, the decision of Controverted
ElediOns was to be put upon the same faoting of
those in this Country, so that in case of Contra-
verted County Eleaions there, Witnesses must be.'
brought over to this Country at an enormous ex.
pence, ruinous to the Candidates, so that the circa
wouldLbe to put such Eleaions in the hands of the
Sheriffs, as 'Returning Officers. The question then.
was, whether Parliament could trust the decision.'
of such cases to any power resident in Ireland ? He
did not suppose it would ever agree to delegate this
patt °fits power to any third power; nor could be
approve. of referring them to the decision of the
Judges
.in Ireland, which would occupy more of
their-time and attention, than they could be sup-
'posed to devote to it. Another mode would be;
to leave the investigation of Controverted £l011"5

the Clerk of the Crown to execute a Commission to
'certain persons in Ireland, who were to return the

difficulty was, how to obtain an adequate unexcei!-
ment of every proceedin upon Controverted Elec-
tionable tribunal for such a purpose, 'as would satisty,

queitioned whether sufficient reliance would be
placed upon their impartiality, as they Might: feel a

fittest set of persons, as appeared to him, to be em-
ployed as Cotnmissiooers to rransaa such business)
both as to charater and competency, were the Assis'

propose also, that these CommisSioners shouldbe d

Mr. LEIGH expressed his hearty coneurren e
in the Motion,. and: corroborated the arguillells,
of the Right Hon. Gentleman, particularly torn'.

Mr. FRENCH wished' the Bill to lay over till
another Session, and that the whole system of
Elections might be made a subjea of minute inves‘.,l
