applied for leave to import it without paying the Duty. on
Li;.-a..ition of its being warehoused and bonded. He hoped the
CeAnittee would see no obje&ion to concur in this applica-
tion, as the Merchant would be benefited, and the Revenue
would not be injured; he therefore moved a Resolution to
etkct.
Sir yOtiN PARNEL said, he hoped this regulation would

Mr. B RAG.G E said, the Resolution was worded generally,

world not extend to It.
Mr. VANS ITTART said, that it was intended to extend
this i;rovisidn to Ireland.
77.7 e SPEAKER said, he apprehended the Hon. Baronet was
not correct in supposing that it was necessary to name Ire-
land specifically ; this was the Legislature of the whole
I:lll;..inin, and undoubtedly, unless Ireland was particularly
cxLluded, every Law would extend to it as well as to
England.
mr.,yoNEs wished to know how long this permission
' was intended to last—Was it to last till Portugal was out of
danger ?
Mr. VANS TITART said, the blank respeEting the time
would be filled up in the Committee ; but he had no objec-
tion to say, that it was intended to propose to extend the
permission till 0 &ober or November next.
The Resolution was then agreed to, and a Bill ordered to
be brought in in consequence.

The Order of the Day being read for the consideration of
the Report of the Committee appointed to consider of KOOP'S
Petition, respeeting his new-invented mode of making Paper,

Sir IV ELFORD said, he had no interest whatever in
this buSiness, and he was only induced ro make-the Motion
with which he should conclude, because he thought it-would
be highly beneficial to the Trade and Manufacture of the Cou-
ntry as well as to the individuals concerned. One obje6l of the
Petitioner was, to be allowed not to enrol the Specification
in tiro Court or Chancery, as it allbrded Foreigners an oppor-
tunity oi taking advantage of all our Inventions. The other
onjeel was, that as it would require a larger Capital than any
five men would embark in the Concern, viz. between so and
00,0001. that it should be extended to more than Five Per-
ions. He concluded with moving for leave to bring in a Bill,
con!Ormable to the Prayer of the Petition.
NY. TONES did not objed to the Bill ; but he could not
but attribute the Scarcity or Paper to the great consumption
of gags on the Continent. •
Mr. I'ANSITTART said, he should not objeel to admitt-
ing more than Five Persons to be included in the Patent ; but
he. for one, would consent to this Specification being en-
rolled like all others.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
The Bill .for 'tvansferring the Management of the. Hair-
Powder Duty, and Armorial Bearing Duty, from the Stamp
to the Tax-Office, was read a first time.
- Adjourned at Six o'clock till To-morrow. • •
