Saw nothing blame--worthy, • and probably had a
similar case occurred, he might have'doee the same
himself.

Lord HOLLAND said, without discrediting
what the Rev. Prelate had stated, he would only
subnkit it to his wistlom, whether such interference
was cohsistent with Constitutional principles ?
The Earl of ROSLYN was of opinion, that the
subje& under, deliberation was so far doubtful, that
it ought to be decided by the Bill now before the
House ; hot but-that the question was already de-
cided, satisfadorily, at least to his, mind, by the
common Law ofEngland. His Lordship theh went
into a learned historical account of the state of the:
Clergy in the early periods, down ro later times of
'our history, from which he inferred that the Clergy,
as such, were ineligible to sit in the House of
Commons. He therefore was decidedly in favour
of this Bill.

Lord CARLETON, in a short speech, concurred In
expressing the same
Lord. GRANTLEY, in a few words, intimated his
*disapprobation of The Bill,
The Earl 'of CdRLISLE thought• it would he
beiter to suspend the consideration of the Bill to
another Session. He declared he had heard such
"distortiaitt.opinions from Learned Lords, that his
mind was,not made up on the subleo, and as one
:Noble Lord (Tx tr Low , ) deservedly• ofgreat weight
with the Public, had'expressed his doubts and ob..
Jettions to the'measure, he wished for himself and
'other Noble Lords, fuller time for exaininafion of
the arguments and authorities which had beta men-
tioned •

The House having resolved itself into a Cont.

. The CHANCELLOR of thr EXCHEQUER
said, that the amount of the Supply voted for •the

and, enter interest and charges were deducted, the re,
mainder would be 4,266,0001. applicabie,to clieWays
and Means of the year ; but 'on examination he found,
from the Papers .on the Tata., that he should not be
justified to take the Income Tax at that amount, for
although he. believed that Some regulation and Ma-
nagement might make it more prokiktive than it was
. last year, yet he had no great hopes from them, for
. he Was not- very sanguine in any measures that
might be adopted in that respeet,. 'nor did he exped
to see, the produce of this 'Tax .ar tile. stun, it. was
estimated to come to ; and therefore, under
these considerations, he khould not take it r -more

did not think would in :Ai bL less than loo,006i.•
He sioutd, however, ;tope e. this head of income
at 1,200,0001. T►he griming product of the Con..
solidated Fund, was 3i;oo,oo6l.as.origii,ally stated,
but he thoUldt:fke it at 3, 06,0061. Ile was led to
tl;is upon a view of the produce of the whole of
the Taxes; the accounts of which were now lit!fore
the House.. There would be a comiderabie (lend-
cation from ..the Ijrawbacks allowed on Sogars;
four and an half per cent, on -first fruits, eze. but on
the other han'd,,,the Tax on Malt was likely to be
much, more produai%'e than it had he en for the last
year. The *hole pro‘litce of the Permanent Tax-

Resolution, the suhstanee of v. latch was, to take

. Mr. ,lithINUTON jutrifi'qd all his statements
by refereoee to the ditierent- items of which they
were .composed, and he we-:at theist again.
Mr, ST.E4U, said, that What- his Right, Lion.

had stated, was very tliir at the tient, and'reaSona-
WC in the expuftation, -although imply of die iteins.

of which was,,. that E-,:).equer flilis Were isSud to

ReOcivers, •and in their progress towards the l~ x.

Friend .present CitiliNCllLLott 01' the .f..xein-
QUED.) had a right.tomakt the statement as he did.
Theonly questionlherefore now Was,, whe,ther,, oil
all the-circumstances of Public Revenue, there was
a fair chance that the whole sum for which credit
was. now taken would be-raised f It would not he
raised on eAch: head as ,sratti---that was never to be.
expeeled7:for it Never was
,so some would 'fall
short of,;, while others. exceeded their estimate
some ,Wolild remain due' for a great while—foal was
unavoidable at all times, but the cdmpliint ivirs

much' mbre:grievous ih forttiet times `thtits It pre-
sent. The question' now was, whether any incon..
venience arose from taking Public ACEOUIIt3 in thi
manner lie saw none, because it was always in
the power of the House to vote, and in Giivetnment
to raiseouoney on Exchequer Bills. It was therefore;
Wiser for the CHANCELLOR of tile EXCHEQU E to,
state what remxined due of former years, and to
m AS-,
sue that it will be paid in the ensuing year, than tol
pass it by altogether as unptodvaive, on account of
its not, beiog received, b2cau,e the money might
be raised by E:,chequer .Billy as it was wanted. It
this course was not taken,. much of the money
aaually in the Exchequer would become.unavailing
because then each distind head of account must rr. '
main on its own foundation ; and so, for instants,
the money now in the Echequer' for the payMenti
of Lottery' Prizes, wo•uld remain there until August'
next, because Lottery Prkes are not payable until
that time. But the present pradice rendered all
this money availing, and when the time of payment
arrived,`provision was made for it by the money to
be *raised on Exchequer Bills there was therefore
great convenience in the ptaaice.
After same conversation between Mr. A D1)1110-

the House passed. this Bill because this woman

itnpoN,i ble to kngty where it would stop. If a wo-
tnan's husbanctwai transported for life, might she
tint' then apply fir relief, or in.insCollunacy ? It
ova the.*; of great import=ance: that. the House
-shpuld 'not break thrtiugh a gttnerai rule and to
tOakepartlialar tegulations for every particular c.tse
that Might' occur. In tend of 'aaing upon one ge.
neral principle,,it.would expose Members to be cwt.

TESPREYS 'Co entry) sx d, he, vas
wholly unacquainted With the patties in ttas•ciAse,.
bat he thought it' WAS one that called loudly upon

the. jitstke and huaignity ar,the tious'e. The Hod.
Gentleman who spoke last had stated, that this might"
be made a precedent for women to tipply for a ed
in cases of the banishment) the lunacy, oreveri sho
bad circumstances of their husbands ; but he had
too good an opinion of the Women of this Country
to suppose that such circumstances would inat:ce
'them to wish to be separated from their husband
and he never could believe that the House of Coma
mons would so far depart' from a proper sense of
duty, as to listen to such an' application, even if it
should ever be made.

Sir WM. SCOTT supported the Bill said
it was true that many applications had nibt been
made for Divorces on the part of the Wife, but the
House, should' recoiled that they were then at9in •
as a Legislative Body, And the tjuestion was, whey.
ther, upon every principle of justice, this woman
was not entitled to the relief which she &timed ? It
had been urged frequently, that Adultery was more
'injurious on the part of the. wife, than on that of
the husband, because, by the miscondutt of the:wife, the husband might have a spurious issue
forced upon him ; but on ..he other hand, the bus=
band might have a timrions issue,. whom he might
introduce into his house, and the wife, night see that
property which belonged to herchildren, bqtowett
upon his illegitbnate offsprieg. He dill not 54y,
that other cases might not occur, in which W0M4.11
might; apply for pivorus, but that had nothing to do
with the present case : the question was, whether in
this instance this Lady was not, in justice entitiOd
to their relief? In ordinary cases of Adultery,
a reconciliation might talts: place, but here it we*
impossible, because this Lady would certainly be
guilty of incest, if she again cohabited with her
husband.

Tire CHANCELLOR °jibe EXCHEQUER said,
this Bill appeared hitherto to have received the
unanitnons sanction of the House, and even now
there appeared no objedtion to the Bill itself, but
only to parts that might be easily altered, in the
Committee. it appeared to be the general sense of
the House, that thi Clergy ought to be relieved
from thole vexatious` prosecutions ; it being under-
stood that this was only a temporary measure, dOd
that the whole subject was to be taken up fully at,
.another time.
Mr. CALCIIMFT lipposed tilt Bill, and said,
that whatever he might think of Common Informers,
he was sure they were often pro.ludive of great;
good; and though .a great many adions had been
commenced, he was not sure that 'they were all op.
pressive of improper ones.

Me. ATTORNEY 'GE IVERAL agreed with the
Hon. Gentleman who. 'spoke last, that the Public
often derived great. advantage from .Inforniers, but
when the number of prosecutions had become a pest,
and. threatened so, 'many people with .tuin,: it was
proper in the HOuse to interfere: This 11111.tiid not
prevent all, prosecutions, only prevented them
in, cases where the Bishop had granted his Li-
cence for non-residence. He was as great,an ene-
my., as. any Gentleman could be to the non-resi.
deuce of th'e Clergy, arid therefore he hoped never
