IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF PEERS.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4.

Lord CREW was introduced between Lord VER-
NON and• Lord CARYSFORT (Earl of Carysfort). His
Patent of Creatidn having been read at the Tdble,
his Lordship took the Oaths and his Seat.

Lord ELDON delivered his opinion at some length
respthing the Appeal from Scotland, " Ogilvy v.
the Carron Company ;" after
.which he moved to
postpone tile further consideration of it till:Friday.—
Ordered.

Mr. ALEXANDER, Sir J. FREDERIC, Mr. EGER-
tow, and several other Members of 'the House—of
Commons, • brought up the Qualification .Indemnity
Bill and three Private Bills ; which were severally
read a first time.

IMPEACHMENT WITNESSES' INDEMNIT'/BILL.
Lord HQLLAND moved the Order Of the Day
upon this Bill for the purpose of postponing it. Un-
derstanding, he said, from what passed in the House
in consequence of the opinions delivered by the
Judges, that there was an intention of framing a
Declaratory A&, as to what the law. really was re-
. speecing the liability of-a Witness to answer-Ques-
tions of the nature stated in the Questions re-
ferred to the Judges,- he_ did not wish to press this
Bill at the present moment. He 'must confess,
,however, that-.1104a4 not any very sanguine expec-
tation of an effectual law being framed upon this
subje&, and therefore be did not like to let go his
Bill altogether, ,as, in case the Noble and Learned
Lords could not agreein framing a Declaratory Law
sufficient for the purpose, he should then consider
it necessary to press on their Lordships' considera-
tion the Indemnity Bill, which it would in that case
be expedient to pass. He moved,to discharge the
Order for summoning their Lordships, and to renew
. it for Friday'. -
Lord.ELDONassured the Noble Lord that his No-
ble and Lea'rned Friend on the Woolsack had lost no
time in preparing a Declaratory Bill, which the dif-
ference of opinion amongst the Judges had render-
ed necessary. -His Noble and Learned Friend had
Submitted the Bill fo iijs (Lord ELDON's) considera-
tion ; ,and he, thinking- there were several` objec-
tions to it, framed another, which, however, on
'consideration, he. thought was more objeCtionable
than that drawn by his Noble and Learned Friend.
The subje& was involved in considerable difficulties,
and hohad great, doubt whether a Bill could be so'
framed as to provide against the exceptions which
necessarily occurred to the general rule.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought there
would be little difficulty in framing a general De-
claratery Law upon the subject. It was obvious
that/ some measure was necessary, in consequence
of the opinions delivered by the Judges. Had the
question arose out of a proceeding by Writ of Er-
ror to that House, their Lordships would have had
to decide judicially upon the law, and would, most
probably, have decided according to the opinion of
the majority of the Judges in that case; the law upon
the subjea would have been settled.for ever. The
mode, however, in which these Questions had been
put to the Judges, and the answer they had given,
rendered it absolutely necessary to resort to a De-
claratory Law upon 'the subject, which was the only
method of proceeding they could now adopt. He
held in his hand a Bill which he had., framed, and
which he thought would answer the purpose, de-
claring that it was, and ever bad been the law, that a
Witness was bound to answer any question, al-
,though such answer might acknowledge, or tend
to acknowled2e, a debt, or render him liable to a
civil suit. He was aware, however, of the neces-
sity of having a proviso, with respect to the excep-
tions to this general rule, and he hoped his Noble
and Learned Friend (Lord Eldon) would take the
.subject into his consideration.
Some further conversation ensued between Lords
HOLLAND, ELDON, AUCKLAND, and the LORD
CHANCELLOR. Lord HOLLAND reminded the House
that a Bill upon this subject was already before their
Lordships, brought in by a Noble Earl (Stanhope).
Lord ELDON condemned altogether the principle of
that Bill. The LoRb CHANCELLOR expressed a
• wish that Lord Eldon would, at a private inter-
view, assist him in adding to the Bill he had alrea-
dy drawn a proper proviso. Lord ELDON said, if
his Noble and Learned Friend would present his
Bill he would then propose a proviso. Lord HOL-
LAND observed, that the two Noble and Learned
Lords seemed to differ widely with respect to the in-
. tended Bill, and the Noble and Learned Lord on
the other sidool.the House to . differ from himself.
He thoughi. it absolutely necessary there should be
some understanding as to whether such a Bill would
be brought in or not. The LORD CHANCELLOR un-
dertook to present a Bill of
,this description to the
House, as soon
~as he had had.a private interview
on the sal-Ilea-with his Noble' and Learned Friend
aord Eldon).'
The Order for summoning their Lordships was
'then discharged and renewed for Friday:
Adjourned tilt -to-morfow (this day).

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4.

Lord JOHN TO‘A'SHEND, and. another Person,
'whose name we could not learn, took the Oaths and
their Seats.

Mr. WILBIIRFORCE presented a Petition from
certain Woollen ClOthiers of Yorkshire, praying for
'the repeal of certain Regulations which were
.im-
proper and inadequate in the present stage of the busi-
ness, which was carried on by. the Petitioners. The
Petitioh, Mr. Wilberforce' observed, was not signed
by a very great number, but the Petitioners were a'
very respeEtable body of men, who were highly
deserving of the attention of the House,—Ordered
to lie on the Table. .

Mr. PETER _MOORE presented a Petition on
samc subjeEt. fi:orn the. Woollen Clothiers- of
York arid Lancaster : he hoped that as the Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Wilberforce) had said.a, few words
in favour of his . own division, ' he would also say,
something in favour of the Petition which he held
in_ his' hand•. This Petition had been presented for
three years successively, and last, year. it v.-as tint off
upon an understanding that the subjeCt was to be
seriously investigated by the Ministers. The change,.
.however, which took place, had prevented the de-
sired effea from this cireumstance. however,

the present MiniStry had agreed to take the affair
into consideration ; and he Was now-authorised to
state, that 'this Petition was brought forward with
the sanEtion, of Office.
Lord TEMPLE expressed the wishes of 'Mi-
nisters to afford every facility possible to the steps
that might be taken-for the settling of this business.
It-had engaged the attention of the Privy Council,
and it had occurred to them, that another Bill should
be brought in to continue the SUSpension of the
present Regulations, with a view to bring in a Bill
as soon ,as' possible to fix the proper Regulations.
In his opinion one Bill would not answer the pur--
pose : 'he thought that different Bills would be
requisite,. according to the various points to be
settled.. •
Mr. H. LASCELLES expressed his satisfaalion
at what had fallen from the Noble Lord, It al-
ways appeared to him that the various points em-
braced in this business could not be properly settled
without the authority. of Governthent, and this
therefore was a course of proceeding which he had
always recommended. He was doubtful,' however,
whether the matter could be finally settled in the
course of .the present Session. There were
.a great
variety of points to be considered, such as the'dif-
ference in the quality of the articles, the machinery,
and the seven years apprenticeship required at pre-
sent from those who exercised the trade-: be, would
give no opinion now on that head, but he hoped
that the whole would be minutely examined,'when
the Bills came to a Committee. The :Woollen
Clothiers of York had not as yet .been heard On this
subje&, though others had enjoyed that advantage :
he was earnestly desirous that this business might be
soon and 'completely .settled.
After a few words from Lord TEMPLE, .Mr.
BROOKE, and Mr. L.s...scELLEs, -
The SPEAKER stated, that the regular mode of
proceeding would be, to refer all that had been done
to a Committee to sit above stairs, which should
bring in Bills according to the variety of points, and
the circumstances of the case, as they should judge
proper.
The Petition was ordered to lie on )the Table.
Mr. MooRE then presented a Petition of the
same nature from the Woollen Clothiers of Wilts,
Somerset, and Gloucester ; which was also ordered
to lie on the Table.
Lord OSSOLSTON gave notice, that to-morrow
he would bring forward a Motion relative to the
India Debt.
Mr. SMITH presented a Petition from Messrs.
Chalmers and Cowie, Swedish Merchants, under
the following circumstances :—When a Committee
of the House was appointed during the late scarcity
to inquire into the causes of the high price of pro-
visons, &c. two Swedish Merchants- had appeared
before that Committee, and undertook the importa-
tion of a large quantity of Herrings from Sweden,
with a view to relieve, in some measure, -the dis-
tresses of the people. Under the sanation of the
Committee they sent out a Cutter to Gottenburgh
to buy up the herrings before the news could ar-
rive, which might have raised the price of herrings
in Sweden. A great quantity was provide& ; arid
in this situation it was found
,necessary by Govern-
ment, in pursuance of a more pressing policy, to
lay an Embargo on Swedish Vessels. -None could
consequently come here from Sweden ; and though
the Merchants had' done every thing in their power
to dispose of the herrings to the best advantage„.
they had lost no less than 35,0001. by the specula-
tion : they applied to the Lords of theTreasury„who
sent the matter to be examined by the Commis-,
siouers of the Customs. It had afterwards been
before a Committee of Parliament ; but the press of
public business prevented a Report. The affair,
therefore, must be brought forward a-new; It was
peculiarly hard case, and deserved the attention of
the House.—The Petition was then ordered to, be
referred to a Committee.
Mrs BABINGTON presented a Petition from the
Sierra Leone Company, praying- for aid.—Ordered
to lie on the Table.
Lord HENRY PETTY moved, that Lord Coiling-
wood's Annuity Bill should be re-committed on Fri-
day; which was agreed to. He then stated that His
Majesty having heard of the circumstances of Lord
Coliingwood's family, was desirous that the kfouse
should take the same into consideration. lie there-
fore moved, that the House should to-morrow re-
solve itself into a Committee upon this business.,
Ordered.
The SECRETARY at WAR moved the second read-
ing of the Marine Mutiny Bill. It was read a-
cond time, and ordered to bp committed to-morrow.

LORD MELVILLE'S IMPRACIIMENT:
Mr. IPHITBREAD rose, in consequence of the
notice he had yesterday, given, that he would make
a Communication from the Committee appointed to
condu& Lord Melville's Impeachment. He -had
now the honour of being able to make this commu-
nication, and to, state that fresh and important mat-
ter had come out in the course of the examinations,
which the Committee, in compliance with its duty,
had carried on. This matter it was desirous to. lay
before' the House, and he therefore Moved, itiAt
leave be granted to the Committee to make a, farther
Report respeaiug the additional matter they had dis-
covered.--Leave was accordingly given.
Mr. WHITBREAD then brought up the Report„
which was handed td the Clerk, , and ordered to be

. .
read. It was in substance as follows :

" The Committee, in the execution of the duty
imposed upon them by that Douse, bad prepared
several Articles of Impeachment, which had been

reported to the House and agreed to. The Com-
mittee had since that time applied themseles with
the most diligent attention to the examination of
this business, and in the course, of their inquiries,
had procured new and material information, upon,
which some additional article or articles might
founded, but which tbcy, in the first place,. wished
to submit to the consideration of the House. It

would be recollected, that 10,0001. had been stated
to be due from Lord ANville to the PUblic when

Mr. .Trotter Came to the'Pavmaster4lip; in Janiiiy,
1786. flow thii- had come about could not be

stated in the former Reports. It Was manifest that_
it had happened, however, before Mr, Trotter , be-
fame.Paymasteri. and zF. Douglas had been- the
rilymaqer during Lord Melville' first Treasurership,
the Conimittee had examined as many of the late
Douglas's books as they could find, in. order, if
iossible,
to obtain some ,light :on this rransaetion.--
Many of had been found in' the possession of

leis widows and upon the examination of them, some

rnatter'had-corOie nut,' the truth of which they had
also learued•from other sourceg. It had been already
stated that Lord Melville came to the Treasurership
in 178,20.7-Op. the 20th of August; -in that year,' Mr.
Douglas bad been appointed to. the Paymastership,
and had paid 1,0001. to Mr. Drummond, the Banker,
on account of Lord' Melville,lbut is this was a
private transaction it was. only noticed as it' might
tend to throw light on some future proceedings.
Till the 6th of November,, 1182, the money issued
from the Exchequer, was paid into the Bank. Ficim
that time- he-course was altered, as 45;0601. wasfiliens.
issued-to 'the Treasurer, only 40,0001. of which was
paid into the Bank.' The other 5,0001. was depOsited in
an iron Chat at' the treastirer's Office. On ths,32l;
of the same month 50,0001: was issued, out Of
which 47,0001. went to the Bank, and" 3,0001. was
placed' in the cheit„ In the following December
93,0001. was issued; of which 90,0001. was sent to
the Bank, and 3,0001: retained in the chest. In the
subsequent ''January 5,000. had been paid on ac-'
count of Mr. Jellicoe, the Ex-Treasurer, so that the
account of money paid 'into the chest then stood as '

This was the'sum paid into the ,Chest for Naval
purposes. - But it appeared that of this sum only
30001. had been applied to Naval ServiCes, and .that
the other 13,0091, had been given by, the Paymaster
to Lord Melville, on his receipts, in the following

There was, therefore; at the beginning of 1803, a de-
ficiency in Lord Melville's account of 13,0001. This
deficiency was increased to 23,0001. by a paymetitof.
10,0001. for Mr. Jellicoe, which had been given to:
Lord Melville, In April 1783; the then sum which
had been issued for the office, was 89,0001: and that
at the Bank for this purpose, was only 66,00.01.!1eav--
ing a deficiency of 23,0001. In this month, however,
the deficiency was reduced by iiaytudiits.l4-0 Mr:
Grey, a Clerk in the Navy-Pay Office, withj rthom
Lord Melville had pecunlary.transa6tions, and Yrarrk
the House of Messrs. , Muir and Atkinson. These
payments amounted to 15,0001. which reduced the:
deficiency to 70001, The 'Report proceeded: to state
the different times, at which,. this Suni of 15,0001.
had been paid. No reduCtion rof the 70001. took
place till 1784; when' there was an attempt to trans-
fer the deficiency f p n the one treasurership to. the
other, but still the gross amount due to. the public
was 70001. In 1784 this deficiency had been in-
Creased to 10,0001. for the second treasurership, but
in 178.5, it had again' been reduced to 90001. Rut
,6001%. had been still left,on'the first treasurership, so
that putting the deficiency of9,ooolfpr the second., and.
1,6001. for the first, together, there was still an un-
discharged reSidu of 10;.6001.. 11e 11.eport then
proceeded to state, in a summary manner, the appli,„
cation of part of these sums, as fir as the Committee
had been able to ascertain ihiS,Poi`nt. Park had been
paid to Mr. Drurninond,' the Banker; part to. Mr.
Grey, the Clerk above-mentioned, and the. 1,0,000.1.
paid on account of Mr. Jellicoe; had beep advanced
by way of loan to Messrs. Muir. and Atkinson','
whose circumstantes'attliat time appeared to re(pire
it. This, hoi2vever, had ten discharged. The.
Committee forbore to enter into minute details, as,
to several small sums, as they had not been able as yet
to find sufficient evidence respeeting them. But
thus far they had thought proper to report to
,the
House."

The Report, on the*Motion of Mr. WHITBREAD,
was then ordered to lie on the Table, and to be
printed. Mr. Whitbread observed, that it would be
proper to consider it as early as possible; and there-
fore proposed Friday for that purpose ; which was
agreed to. , -

Lord TEMPLE moved the Committee on the Ame-
rican Wool Regulations. After a,. few words from
Mr. Harrison, the House wept into the Committee.
The Report was-'received and, agreed to, and a Bill
ordered. •

.
On the Motion of Lord' MIBLE the House re-
solved to go into. a Codiniittee to-..morrow on the
Free Port At% with a view to amend it, as, the word
Tortola" had been left out. ,

The Report of the Committee of Supply was
brought up.—The Navy .Estimates were agreed to,
and Bills ordered,accordingly. Adjourned.
