journment, for the IVlotin '76—Against it I go.
Majority against the Motion of Adjournment 74.
When Strangers were re-admitted, after the
division, the House were employed m cxamhiing
Mr. 13oucHER, Clcrk of the Diocese of Salis_
bury, who produced a Book, which he said con.
twined the original Entries of the Ordinations in
that Diocese for several years, befOre antt after the
year 1760.
The following Entry was read from this Book :

" in the Parish, Church of St. Ann, Westmint:ter,
Nov. 2760, was ord4itleci onN HOXNE, 13. A. of St. John's
Cambridge."
The Witness did nbt make this entry,. but he
believed he knew who wrote it, from the.hand-
writing. He does riot know the pvrson to whom
the entry relates. Ile does not know certainly
who Made the entry, but believes that it was
tnacie-by some former Officer of the See, the a6ts
of which the Book contains, ' and who was pro-
perly authorized to make such entries.
A qtiestion was proposed to be put to the Wit-
r.e,;, Whether this entry may not be contrary to
fila

It was obje.aed to by Mr. RYDEIt and several
other Members.

It was suggested by, Mr."SHFRIDAN and Mr.
GA EY, that the bOoks might not be an original,
but only a copY, 'and that not an accurate one,
and theypointed out.antritty.made in it dated in
1776, Which ' concluded with g( Witness our
hands,' and. the Mutes of six witnesses, which are
all written in the ,same hand-writing.— This
entry being shewn to Mr. BOUCHER, he said it
was evidently a copy, as it purported to be.-L-He
does not know what became of the original, but
supposes it wa*, returned to the person whO
brought it to be entered.—He does not knOW if
the person-appearing by the entry to have been
ordained in 1763, by the name of Jowl Ho RNE,
is the same person who is now one of the Repre-
, mita tives in Parliament by the name of Mr. Jouw
tloa,Nr. TooKE--He is sure that it is the only
book which is ever referred to for,proof of ordi-
nations in the See Of Salisbury about the period
of 1760.- , •
Mr. WILSON, Clerk of the Chapelry in the:
parish of New Brentford, was next called in.—
said, he hadtleld this office for forty-four
years and upward---He has seen the Rev. JOHN
HORNE 'officiate in the Chapel of New Brentford.
—He remembers him officiating for eleven or
twelve years—He remembers him .orliciating as a
Priest, and administering the LOrd's Supper dur-
ing that period. He does not know if the Rev.
JOHN HORNE is the same person who now bears
the name of JOHN HORNE TOOKE. lie does not
know, becaUse he cannot see him. Ile has not
seen him since his name became TooKE.
Upon this answer being given,
A MviviaEß moved, that the Rev. 3. H. TOOKE
cio now stand up, that he may be seen..--(A loud
lack i' on aH i.icles of the !louse,)
The Witness does not know where the Rev.
joHN 119aNy was ordained, or whether he was
ever ordained at was ordered to with-
draw.

Lord TEMPLE said, that there was a Gentle.
man, a•Mr. PokrEotss, whom he wished to be
examined, and who was attending, but he was
not sure if he would be regular in moving that
he should he called in, as no order had been made
for his attendance. , .

The SPEAKER said, that the regular mode
was, on a previous day to move that a Witness
he ordered to attend, and that this Motion might
now be made, but that it was not common,
though optional in the House, to call in and exa.
mine a Witness without such previous order, in
cases of this kind.

Mr. SHERIDAN said a few words on the
impropriety of calling in a Witness whose evi.
deuce a party could not be prepared for, because
no notice is given him of an intention to call such
Witness.

Lord TEMPLE withdrew his Motion, and
moved, that Mr. CLITHERO. be called tQ the Bar.
Mr.,CsrritEßo said, that he is a resident in
New Brentford •• that he was born about seventy
years ago, in die house which he now inhabits;
that he has seen the Rev,. Jon N ttn a administer
the Lords Supper in the Chapel of New Brent.
ford ; that he used to pay him; as Minister, eccie.
siastical dues, some small tithes,
.4tke. by comp.
sition. The person whom he then Icnew. by the
name of the Itev.,JoHtlioaNE, he 'apprehends
ii•the tame person who now takes the name of
JOHN HORNE TOOKE. He has been several times
la company when he has gone by the name 'of'
Toot(E.• He is totally ignorant. who ordained
JOHN ,HORNE, or if he was ever ordai.ped.' He
thinks that he was presented to the Living in

5760, or in the beginnin& of !761, and he'im-
snedi.tte.ly entered upon duty,
The Witness was ordered to, withdraw.,

Lord TEMPLZ then moved, That a Seidl
Committee be appointed to examine the• Journals,
forlsreeedents respeaing the eligibility of• Persons
In Holy Orders. tQ sit in this House, and to report
the same to the House.
Mr. HORNE,P)OKi said, he did not rise to
• pose the Motion, but' merely to call
.upon the
Noble Lord to dowhat is customary to do in all
- eases, and what in such a case as this, it is but
lair and just to the party 'should be done, that is,
to read whatever other Motions, he intends to
follow pp this :with and then to propose them
separately., He plied upgn the. Noble Lord to
(lo this, because otherwise he might take many
Members by
.sur prize, who might' have no ()him
tions to the first MOtion in itself, 'but might
think themselves bound to oppose it, if' intended
to be followed up with certain others.
Lord TiigPLA ho did not yield to the
call, because he saw no right that the individual
1144 to make any such personal call upOn'hitp, but
he hadobjeetipp to state for the inforMation
2'of. the . House, that he had at present no • other
Wiotion t 4 make.
Mr. 1101414 TOoajtlttified the call which
lie
-h,id na.tde on the -N0.14 Lord.
Sir iv, yOE/Arc propoed 'an Apen4trient tq

Lord Tzmotat's Motion,
that after the word
Journals, be inserted 44 and records of Parlia-
ment." This addition, he contended to be ne.
cessary, as. the journals donor go so far back as
the Committee may have occasion to loak for
Precedents.

This Amendment was adopted.
He also proposed a nother Amendment to the
Motions to add to the. words, " To sit it, this
House," the words "'As, Representatives of the
Commons of England."
This, proposal, after afew words from Mr.
SH E Ali and Lord aCEMPZ,E3 was withdrawn,

. Mr. SIMEON suggested, that there may be
documents or ordinances, from which the Com-
mittee may collet information on this lubjea,
which do not strictly come under the name of
Records of Parliament, and that therefore it
would be proper to insert the word (‘ Ordinances,"
after the word 1. Records."

The SPEAKER said, that, perhaps, the House
would think, that this was burdening the original
Motion too much, especially as in case if the
Committee found it necessary, they could easily
apply to the House, and receive the powers
which the Hon. Gentleman wished them to
possess.
The Motion was then put and carried,

Lard TEMPLE then moved; that the Com-
mittee should • consist of the Right Hon, the
CHANCL!..I,OI2. of the EXCHEQUER,'

[A loud call from the Oppositioa.Benchcs,,of
"Irho is he? Name him! Name him!"]
Lord TEMP TeX resumed his Motion, that. thi
Committee should consist of

The Right Hon. Wm. Pitt, Mr. Bond,
.The Attornoy-Gener4l, Mr. Berestord, '
The Solleitor,Ceneral, Mr. Sitheon,
Sir Wm. Scott, Mr. Grey,.
The Master of the Rolls, Mi.. Morton Pitt,
-Mr. Abbot,' Mr. ilickensOn, ~
Sir Wm. Voting, Mr. Brage,
Mr. Blackburn, . !kir. Shaw Lefevre,
Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Scroop,
Mr, Dickens, Mr. M. A. Taylor,- - 7'
Colonel Martin, , Mr. Erskine, •
Mr. Thomas Grenville, Mr. C. Williams Wynne:
Mr. Barnard, ' •

All these Gentlemen were appointed, and the
names orLord TEMPLE, Mr. TIERNEY, and Sir
FRANc is BURDETT were afterwards added on
separate Motions.
Mr. BRAGGE moved for several Irish accounts,
time titles of which we could not hear, owing to
the noise of the Members going out of the House.
The House adjourned at half past ten o'clock
till to.morrow.
