unifoim and rigid primer; Ira allow that the
Curates area clasS of Men 'who have the strengtA
claims to indutente," and that perhaps there is iiJ
class Whose means of living are less adeghtite to
what they ate 'entitled to frdni their education;
their manners, their character and' the
which they ought to hold ih c)ciety.L-tstie
still he conceived the Motion to he Largely
expressed, as it is a well known fael, that there-
are Many Curates in very easy eircumstances
For his own part, he recolleCted several cases in
winch persons who had an independent income df
Sor 6col. a year; held Coracles. To such there
could be no intention of extending the ploPosed
exemption. He, therefore; would propose, that
instead of leaving the expresshOil in the .NlCtiei
neral, " to Curates," it Should be said, e' to
Curates in certain circumstances." . He wished;
however, the grounds on' which he would agree to
the Motion; to be clearly understood. fle would
only agree to exempt Curatei from the Pay inent of
the Tax; who do not contribute to the Income 'lax.
On this ground, and on this alcshe, 'would he agree
that the Hthise should go into a Committee. He
was anxious that there should be no appearance, in
this measure, of any ihclinatiOn to let loose the
sources of the Public Revenue, and that it should
not be considered as any precedent for the admission
of such pleas .of hardship to a particular class of
men against the general enforcing of measures
which it 'is found nec6sary to adopt for
.the supply
of the demands of the S;ate. Aopiications of this
kind had often formerly, been made to him, but he
had always found it his ihity to resist them.
Mr. M.- A. TAYLOR agreed that the Income
Tax was the best criterion that could be adopted
for ascertaining who should be exempted, and also
to insert after the word " Curates,." the words
" in certain circumstances," in his Motion.
The Motion thus amended was then agreed to,
and this day fortnight was fixed for the House re_
solving itsellinto the Committee.
Mr. BR ACC E brought up the Retort of the Com-
mittee, appointed to examine into the ci.uses of the
delay, which had taken place in the Return being
made to the Writ for the Election of a Member for
the Borough•of Callington, in the County of Corn-
wall, in the room of Sir Jowl Clu.L, deeeased.—
The Report was read,. and it appeared from it, that
the Clerk of the Crown had issued the Writ ; that
it had at list' come into the hands of Mr. CLEVE-
LAND,' a Member of the House, who engaged to
transmit it to the High Sheriff; that he sent it with
this view to the Exeter Mail Coach-Office, where
the packet containing it was booked, addressed. to
his Agent in that Town, to whom he had given
dirthions concerning it, but that the Agent never
received it. The Report was ordered to lie on the
Table ; and Mr. BRAGG 8 moved, " That a new
Writ be ordered to be issued, it appearing that the
former one had been lost."

A conversation took place upon the propriety of
adopting some measures to smite the proper for-
warding of Writs, to the Sheriff when issued, and
to prevent the mistakes which so often, whether ac-
cidentally or from something worse, take place in
this point, in which Mr. BAKER, Mr. THORN-
TON, Mr. CURIV EN, Mr. CLEV EL ND, Mr. JONES,
Mr. ROBSON, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER took a part.
The Motion was then agreed to.

Sir ROBERT BUXTON brought up the Report of
the Bill for the better Collection of the Poors-rates,
which was read. The Amendments made by the
Committee were agreed to. Several new Amend-
ments were also made, and the Bill .was ordered
to he read a third time to-morrow.

Mr. CORRY said, he should now move the
House to resolve itself into a Committee of Supply,
!Ind that the several AcCounts presented by Mr.
CROFTON., of the Irish Treasury„should be referred
to the said Committee.

The House then ,resolved itself into the COlll..
MitteC, Mr. BRAGG E in the Chair.
CORRl.said, he, should now have the ho_
nour of stating to the Committee the sums necessary
for the Civil Services of Ireland; those for' the Mi-
litary Department had already been stated. The
Resolutions which he held in his hand, and which
he should have the honour of proposing, to theCorn-
mittce, were these which were annually voted in the
Parliament of Ireland, and (with a very few excep.
tions) contained nothing new. Relying upon the
confidence of the Committee, he should think it
unnecessary to enter into the details of the partieu-,
lars for which the Sums were required,. unless
the Committee expressed its pleasure that he should
do so. If, however, any Member required expla-
nation upon any part of the subjed, he would give
it with pleasure. If no such wish was expressed,
he should,reserve the observations he had to make,
until he stated the Ways and. Means. It was, hoW_
ever, necessary for him at present to state that, on
account of the circumstances of the times and the
dearness of Provisions, the Grants, to those Pul,lic
Charities which had always been the objects of the
bounty °idle Parliament of Ireland, (and which he
trusted this Parliament would still continue), were
necessarily because the Children in the
Public Schools, and the'r.,:”;_ent; in the Hospitals,
must be fed and taken care of, and as it!raordina ry
expences had been incurred, the Grants were ne(7:7
sarify increased. - He should not . trouble the Com-
mittee further except to move the Resolutions. He
then moved, that there be granted to Fits Majesty,
for the Protestant Charity Schools, a Sum not ex-
ceeding 18,2131. 45.,8d. being 19,7351. Irish M.o.
