DISTRESSING CASE.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE held a Petition which de-
scribed one of the hardest cases that had ever comc to his know-
ledge. It was that of a woman of the name of Mary Deacon,
who stated that she and her husband were confined for the
same debt. She had been married to a former husband, and
the debt for which she was confined had been contracted
during her widowhood. She had applied to the Commissioners
of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, but they could not allow her
to take the benefit of the Act, as being now a married woman,
she could not execute the deed which that required, by which
she should relinquish all future property which she might ac-
quire for the benefit of her creditors. She should be therefore
imprisoned for life, unless some provision should be• made to
reach her case in the Bill now before their Lordships for
amending the Insolvent Debtors' Act. IleSthe Earl of Lau-
derdale) trusted that if the case turned out to be as it was re-
presented, some clause would be inserted in the pending Bill
to give her relief.—The Petition was then read, and laid on the
table. _ . .

Sir J. GRAHAM., the Hon. G. BENNET, and'others, brought
up the Alehouse Licences Bill, and several private Bills, from
the Commons, which were read a first time.
Mr. IRVING, from the Custom-house, presented an Account
of the Quantity of Gold Bullion exported during the last
half year, and of the Countries to which the exportation had
taken place.—Laid on the table.
Mr. TURTON then presented an Account of the Rates and
Tolls paid in 1821, on the Royal Military Canal.—Laid on
the table.
MARRAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
The Order of the Day having been read, the House resumed
the further consideration of the Marriage Act Amendment Bill.
After some conversation, a proviso proposed by the LORD
CHANCELLOR to be added to the retrospective clause (with
an express resery ion on the part of his Lordship, that he
should in another stage oppose the retrospective clause alto-
gether), was agreed to, to the effect that that clause should not
operate to render valid any marriage, the validity of which had
upon the trial of any issue touching the validity of such mar-
riage, or the legitimacy or illegitimacy of any person claiming
to be the children or descendants of such marriage, being esta-
blished either directly or incidentally. The clause thus amended
was agreed to.
The LORD CHANCELLOR next proposed a clause to the
effect that the -Bill should .not operate to invalidate any title or
claim to property in remainder or reversion, which, previous '
to the passing of the Bill, had been disposed of for a valuable
consideration. His Lordship, in support of this clause, put
some supposed cases, for the purpose of chewing the hardships
that might result to parties, who, in consequence of an invalid
marriage being rendered valid by this Bill, might be deprived
of reversionary property, for which valuable consideration had
been given to a large amount.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE opposed the clause, on the
ground that it would render the retrospective clause altogether
a nullity, so far as regarded property. If their Lordships were
to agree to this clause, the Bill, it was true, would legitimate
the children of marriages now null and void, but the property
of the family would be taken from them, and might be be-
queathed by their uncle to his own illegitimate children.
The Earl of ROSSLYN objected to the clause as an unfair
mode of defeating the retrospective clause. •
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR the clause
was negatived.
The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed another clause, the
object of which was to render valid all arrangements made in
the sale of reversionary property previous to the passing of the
After some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor, the
Earl of Harrowby, and the Earl of Liverpool took parts, the
House proceeded to a division—
Contents, 25—Not-contents, 42—Majority, 17.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that he would
take the sense of the House on the third reading of the Bill
upon the clause which had just been rejected. '
We understand that, during our exclusion, Lord ELLEN-
BOROUGH proposed a clause relating to titles, honours, and
estates, real and personal.
The Lord CHANCELLOR and the Earl of LIVERPOOL
objected to the clause.
Lord HOLLAND said he should have liked the Bill better
without the clause.

After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWN,
Lord ELLENBOROUGH consented to withdraw the clause
for the present, which he had introduced with the view of meet-
ing an objection of the Noble and Learned Lord.
The other clauses were then agreed to, and the Bill was or•
dered to be read a third time on Tuesday next.—Adjourned at
eight o'clock till Monday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,
CATHOLIC CLERGY.

Mr. JAMES BROWN gave notice, that early in the next
Session he would submit to the House a measure, the object of
which would be the payment of the Catholic Clergy of Ireland
out of the Revenue of the State. _ _ _

Mr. CURWEN presented a petition from certain Manufc.
turers of, and Dealers in, Hard Soap, setting forth that the par-
tial repeal of the Salt Tax would produce much hardship, and
praying for its total repeal.—Ordered to be printed.
The Thames Lastage and Ballastage Bill war read a second
time, and committed.
Mr. GRATTAN moved for returns of all Ships that had
cleared out of Dublin Harbour in the three years ending Jan:
1, 1822, with a return of the number of Ships that had come
into Dublin Harbour in the same time, specifying the Port Du•
ties received, &c.—Ordered.
The Assessed Taxes Composition Bill, as amended by the
Lords,was taken into consideration, agreed to, and ordered back
to the Lords.
ROASTED CORN.
The Roasted Corn Bill was read a third tittle.
Sir R. WILSON called the attention of the House to the
case of those persons who had been punished for offering roast+
ed corn for sale. They were unconscious of committing any
offence when they did that for which they had been severely
punished, and their view of the case would seem to have been
not very much out of their way from the introduction of the pre-
sent measure. He therefore hoped their case would be taken
into consideration. He then moved a clause to authorise the
reimbursing of those who had been fined, to the amount of the
fines which had been levied on them. _

.....___ _
Mr. T. WILSON thought it would be a case of great hard-
ship to enforce penalties against the parties who had been en-
gaged in selling roasted corn.
Mr. H. SUMNER concurred with the view taken by the last
speaker on this subject.
Mr. W. SMITH thought the offence which had been com-
mitted was most venial, and supported the clause,
Mr. CURWEN was understood to speak in favour of the
clause. _ _ _

Mr. LUSHINGTON objected to the clause, because it was
wholly unnecessary, as the Treasury had now the power of
remitting any fine. It was their wish to take the cases of
the sufferers into consideration, - and there was every disposi-
tion on their part to afford relief, where relief could be pro-
perly extended.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, had this clause been met with any
hostile feeling-by the Secretary to the Treasury, he should
have given the clause his support. But as there appeared a
fair disposition on the part of the Hon. Gentleman, and on
that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to take into consider-
ation the cases of the parties on whom fines had been imposed
With a view to relieve those who deserved relief, he could wish
his Honourable Friend to withdraw the clause. The penalties,
though in the whole their amount did not exceed 8001. or
10001., were sufficient to prove the total ruin of some of the
parties on whom they had been inflicted. After the feeling
which had been manifested on the opposite side of the House,
he thought ''is Hon. Fciend would do well to withdraw the
clause which he had proposed, on an- understanding. that the
cases of those who had been fined would be fully, tairly, and
favourably considered, with a view to the reimbursement of
those who, it should appear, had not wilfully contravened the
law. . .
Mr. Altlerman WOOD wished the clause to 'pass. A dis-.
cretionary power being left in the hands, of the Treasury, would
