IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE 'OF PEERS,

SATURDAY, MARCH 21.

Triz rations BiUs before the House were for.
warded in their respective stages;mong these among . .

was ,the Irish Marti-al Law Bill, which.,7asWe
could collet, was read a • seconcliime, the com-
mitinent of. it 'negatived, and the Bill ordered to
be read a third tinle on Monday. •
`A short conversation ensued, principally -be.:
tween the-LORD CHANCEL LOR, and Lord AUCK.
telative to a .niisrepresentation of a part
of the Debate of yesterday, in one of the Morn-
ing Papers ; and also for an insertion in the same
Print, of a Letter to the Editor, and signed
C,HRISTIANUS, animadverting upon what had
falkn from two Reverend Pfelates, respe6ting
the crime of, Adultery, on Thursday evening,
while ','.ll4lor's Divorce Bill was under con4de-
ration:

• Lord WALSINGRAM (webelieve as Chairman
of the Committee of Privileges) first called' the
attention of the House to the circumstance ; and
on presenting the print .in question, pointed out
the obnoxious insertiom, which were read by the
Clerk,

The misrepresentation complained of,'appeared
to be of part of. the conversation. which took
place (previous to-the Debate_ on the State of the,
Nation) between the Earl of SUFFOLK, Dukes of
MONTROSE and ATHOL, Lord
,Hott.A.No, &c.
on the subject of. the -High
.Price., of Prov,isions.,
Extent of the Paper Curren.y, and 0(14 Point of
Order—in the account given orwhich, as -above,
the Speeches-of the
,Duke of Arno t. and Lord
Ho L L AND, . who spoke to the, point "of Order,
Were in particular held to be grossly, inisrepre-.
sented. This consideration was.necessarilydeem-
ed •by the Lord Cunticy.Loit, in the course
of his observations, as aggravatina the breach.of
privilege in. the first instance, and-the very. re, •
prehensible nature of the animadversion on Whit
-had fallen from the two reverend •PrelateS, was
pointed
.at by his, Lardship,-. -
Lcrd AUCKLAND fully concurred with the
Noble and Learned Lord in his observatiOns, and
ailed, that with respea to t(e account given'of
the observations of. a Noble Buon (HoLLAND),.
then absent, it was untrue in point of fa ,'---no
such ideas. ,had been thrown our,- :nor language
uttered, as had been ascribed to'him in the
port in question ;, and he was •persnaded, that
were the Noble Lord present, • he would 'without
hesitation dilelaimit.

After a few words across the Table, between
the above-Mentioned Peers, the Se resolyed,
that the Printer and 'Publisher of ,the taper in
question be ordered to attend on,Monday next.
• .Two Bills relative to. the Administration of
Irish Affairs-Were • brought up by Mr:
Chancellor Of the Irish Exchequer, • from the
.Commons, and read first time ;' after, wLich
their Lordshilis adjourned till M•onday
at.half past two o'clock, the Lords' Cominittcies
meet for the investigation of certain. private
:13itts.

HOUSE bF COMMONS,
SAITIRDAY, MARCH, 21.

Mr. WILLI ERTORC E presented a Petition from
Leeds' respefting. the Corisumption of Oats by
horscs, &c. and praying the House
,to devise
means to diminish it, Sc. ; which after a shot
conversation betiveen Mr. Wit. Et roRCE and
Mr. Cuttwxy,,was referred to the.Cotnmittee on
;he high Price of Provisions.
The Bill for continuing certain Duties in Ire. •
I.lnd, and the Irish Distillery *ere read a
third time, and, past, and_ordered to t)e.c4rried ,
to the LOrds' by Mr. Co 4 My*
A Message from the Lords informed the
House the Lorda had agreed to the two Mutiny
c3ills, the Additional Stamp. Duty, and the Ame-
rican Flotir-Bouniy 'Bill4, without any. Airie4d..
meat.

The ATTORNEY GENERA,, said he held
in hishand a very eitraordinary Petition, which
he was desired to submit 'to 'the:consideration of
the BouSe, .and which' he Accordingly did Subthit. •
It was a Pet i tiOn from theOvers'een of the Poor of
the Township of Whitehaven,in CuMberlaiid. ; the
substance of which was, " That there are in
town of Whitehaven about . ts-,009 inhabitants ;
goao-of whom are liable to be.taxed'for the Relief
of the Poor ; that previous 'to the last Quarter
SesSiOn-of the Peace,. a Poor-.rate was_ published
for the Township, which was appealed front}, by
the Earl of LossoALE, Lord Lieutenant.- and
Custos Rotulorum of. thecounty. That during
that Appeal, the inhabitants : c'ould .not. enforce
the Rate, and they were obliged to borrOw
money to relieve the Poor, to keep them froth
starving that the'Rate was quashed iipcia 'the
Appeal, because' two house owners were therein
inserted whb were.only occupiers ;'bUt no such
objedion was stated.tO the validity of the Rate
when-the 'Appeal was. lodged, whereby the Peti.
tioners could not defend 'themselves at the Ses-
sions,, so that the whole of the Rate was, quashed,
and none of it mild be enforced, because the Ma.
gisitrates were apprehensive
,that the' could not,
and therefore did not, issue: Distress Warrants for
the payment of it.-,.--/That the Petitioners publish-.
ed two other Rates, both of which wcmaPpeal-
ed against by the Earl' of LolvsoALE, so that
they'can,not noW,beivailable to the Relief of the
Nor, Vecause 'if any should refuse • the payment
of' the Ratei, there 'cannot be any Warrants. of
Distress issued to enforce 'she' Rates, because
the kigistrates • aEting judicially, . think" they
cannot be jtisttified • in :issuing
,such Warrants,
silite, if the Rates 'stould.afterwards be quashed,
•
might subjed -to Alions of 'Trespass
'upon such Warrants being exccuted.That .the
Petitioners are not able .to make --
fUrther advances,
for' dia.. :Ley e already,'by l?prrowing near a
Thousand Pounds to support the,,P-ocir; 'exhausted
their resources.—That ity.this condition of things,
coo-Paupers will be starved, 'unless' they have
wine Relief, which the Petitioners are not able

to afford them,- and therefore they humbly sub-
mit that the Law respelling the'power of 'Magi-
strates over Rates and Partial Appeali should be
amended ; and pray general Reliet..-.

• This was the. substance of the Petition, —the
ATTORNEY GENRRAL said :—As to the.accuracy
with which the fads were stated, he could not
answer ; but he hhd the Petition from a quarter
which he belieired, Would not tender to him any
thing that. was not true. If the fads here stated
were true, then he would say, it would be a shame
to, the -justice of this Country, if such objeas
were to go tVithout immediate relief.---4-ie there-
fore moved, gs That this Petition be brought
tip"—which it wa's.
The Nation being read, •

Mr. CUR WEN said, he knew every thing
that was stated in this Petition to be faft,- and he
knew also,, that the inconveniences which were
stated in this Petition, had .been felt in other
places •as Well as in the Township of Whitehaven ;
from which he concluded there was great neces-
sity. for the Amendment of the Law. in this par.
ticular. The fublia were infinitely indebted to
the ATTORNEY GENER/11, for presenting ,this
Petition, and taking the subjea into hands so
able to manage' it. He hoped, and he trusted,
that the prayer of this Petition would meet with
the, saation of the House.—The necessity was so
great, that it admitted of, no delay, and if the
Honourable and Learned- Gentleman were now
to move for leave to bring in a Bill' won this
Subjed, he did not see what objedion could-
be started to it, and there would be tithe to con.
skier afterwards what the.ltiil was to be;-4-I't
was' necessary, hoWever, he should say one thing
more, which was,• that he was satisfied there ivas
,no disposition any where in the Township of
.Whitehaven,. but to meet the wishes of the .Isloble-
Earl, if it' were. known what his wishes were.--L
The sole view -of- the Petitioners -.was to keep
the Poor of the town from starving.

The SOLICITOR G.:N.RAL said, that as
to the firs mode` of proceeding on this subjeCl,
the better step, perhaps, would be, to move
" That the Petition be -laid on the Table."—..
The Petition, however, stated fats tin which
the House would hardly proceed-without evidence
in this partidUlar instance, but as they were fads
amounting to a, general grievance, supposing
them to exist, the House 'Might' take some steps
Without evidence, for in such a case there was
it great defeat in the existing Laws7That the
Cade .wa4 so, • had 'been already noticed: in the
course of the prebent Session.. He believed it
would be necessary to come to a general and per-
manent system upon the Poor-rates. It 'did ap.
pear to him to be most extravagant And absurd in.
the general Law, the elle& 0; which could in any
case be, that where an individual made any objcc-
'dor, to .the .Poor Rate, and that on accotint .of one
persor, being taxed a shilling more-than. he ouglt(,
or the.proper description of hirn:had been omitted,
or some trivial error which hatt net bearing. on tfie
substance of the Rate, such, a Rate: should, on
Appeal, be quashed altogether or t6tally..destioy-
eJ ; so 'that every thing done under- it, .‘honid
haVe.beeti illegal and. ~oid from- the 'breginping,
c Thmt ov'cry attempt to enfOrce the Rirte.should
be 4erred a trespass.. This was an abottrrtity:.
which, sometimes,, prodUced great injustice,- and.-
called.' for the' interference 01-Parliiment and
therefOre, if the House was Of that opinion, it.
would be as wvill to bring in a Bill to 'remedy this
evil, and that his Hon.and Learned Fried should
now give notice of. 4 MotionfOr leave tet-biikg:
it in or, Monday, and hc was inclined to
opinion, that the argument. on get eral'slate,
ment of the Case,. ;would be sufficient to suppoit
such..a Bill without examining 'eviencc in sup.
port of the allegations of this Petition.

Mr. CURWEN observed that it would be
troublesome, and very expensive for thesoile,:-
~tionerS to come up to Town, and it would be
well if their attendance could be dispensed. with;
they woUld`come; hoWevcr, if that was absolute.
.ly necessary.
The, ATTORNEY GENERAL seemed to be
of the same ppiiiion as had' been expressed by
the Solicitor, and therefore he gave notice that he
:shOuld on Monday move for leave to bring. in a
Bill on this S.ubjed, which, he `said,, was a loud
chill on the Humanity of the House.

M's.. DICKENS (as we understood) express-
ed a hope that the Bill would be.brought in, and
expedited, so as co pass before the quarter
Q., •
~Lssions. ,

Mr. HARRISON. 'said, that this measure pro_
ceeded ton a general-principle, that of the defi,
ciency of- the existing Law,, and that might be
entertained by Parliament upon general argument,
without examining evidence of particular, partial,
or local fielS. , It proceeded, not on, particular
evidence, bur on the general inconvenience
suiting-from the defeft of the established Law.
The .Petition was laid on the, Table, under an
understanding that Mr, -ATTORNEY GE.tiE
to move on Monday. for leave to bring in a Bill
to remedy the evil here compAined of, &c.

Some,Ordemof the Day On business of course
being gone throtigh, the House, at half past four,
adjourned to Monday.
