MILITARY ROADS BILLS,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the se-
cond reading of the Military Roads Thu t .it wue reAd a second
time• He then moved that it inight be committed, in order
that the different anaendthents which had. been suggested from
Scotland might be received. The next. stage might ,be de-
ferred for some time, in order to give the parties concerned
in the Bill time to consider it in its amended state. The Bill
was then committed, and the report received after which
the- Chancellor of the Exchequer moved that the further
consideration of the Bill should be delayed till the 3d of May.
A greed to. , _

The Clergy Penalties Suspension Bill was then read a third
time, and passed.

HACKNEY POOR, BILL.

Mr. MELLISH then moved the second reading of the
Hackney Poor Bill. _ _

Mr. WROTTESLY did not rise to oppose the second read-
ing, but. be thought some strong reason should be given, why
a clause was inserted, which ivas a direct departure from the
usual law in cases of poor.
Mr. ROSE said a few words in an inaudible tone.
Mr. BYNG said, he should feel jealous if the principle of
the present bill were likely to be :extended : he thought that
the bill should:not be allowed to pass unless a good case
were made out by the people of Hackney.
Sir EGERTON BRYDGES was against the bill.
Mr. MELLISH agreed, that it was incumbent on the pa-
rish of Hackney to make out a sufficiznt case, but that would
be beit done in a committee : he.said that IS or 16 of the pa-
rishes adjoining Hackney were in thesituationswhich was now
asked by that parish.

Sir S.ROMILLY thought it incumbent on the parish to
present a very clear case, when they came forward to ask for
a law different from the law of the nation; He alluded to the
haste with which those bills were usually passed ; the conse-
quence of (which inattention was, that perhaps there was al-
'most a different law fort very parish. Soon after the recess,
a question would be discussed, which would embrace the prin-.
ciple of the present bill: and ha should think it better that
the House should wait for the information which might result
from that.. caste, unless there were any pressing reason for
passing the bill immediately. •
Mr. NVB.OrrESLY said, after what had fallen from his
Learned Friend on the subject of a Bill of similar principle
which was soon to be discussed,' he should wish the present
ko be postponed.
Mr. MELLISH hoped the 'Learned and Hon. Gentleman
would attend the Committee on the Bill, which would be thu
proper stage for rejecting the clause. His Bill would not
interfere with Mr. Keurick's Bill. The petitioners were per-
sons of the-irst respectability, who paid rates to the amount
of 28,0001.; and that there was a necessity for some enact-
ment was evident, because by different evasions only 18001.
could be collected from a district which ought to pay 40001.1
Mr. WETHERELL
_maintained that there was no novelty
in the Bill, but that jts object was to carry into effect an Act
that had been evade. _ _ . _ _

Sir S. ROMILLY repeated, that his only wish fov postpon-
ing the second reading was, that the House might have the
bcnetieof a discussion on Mr. Kenridk'S Bill before they came
to a decision upon this.
Mr. ROSE again said a few words; but was again inau-
dible.

The House then divided—
For the second reading 'l7
Against it

Majority for the second reading 1
MAYO ELECTION.

Mr. WETHERELL moved that Mr. Wm. Green, the agent
for the Petition on the Mayo Election, should be called to the
Bar of the House to be examined.
- Mr. W, Gtr its: was then called in, and in answer to seve-
ral questions front the SPEAKER, said that he.was Agent to
Mr. Kirwan, but had not received from him the names of
the persons who were to enter into the recognizances : he
did not know.whether Mr. Kirwan Was in Englaud, but bad
heard he, was cousinz over : on Thursday last he wrote to
241 t%. M‘Donald, of lltiblin, Mr. Kirwan's Agent, and expected
to receive from him the names required in the course of the
week. Tilt 'he had the answer, he could not proceed with
the petition : he was also agent for the other petitioners, but
was in the same difficulty as to them.
He was then direetC4 to withdraw.

W.ETI'IItELL then moved, that the time for putting
the reogniiatices be enlarged to the...l9th of April, which,
fter come obseryations en the part of Mr, WYN and Sir J.
G ILAIIANI., was carried:
COLONIAL OFFICE BILL.

Mr. GrampußN presented the Papers moved for on the
precediog evening by Mr. Creevey, who moved, that the same
should be printed. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded to ob-
serve, that, a.s,the papers were of .great importance, he could
wish that the further consideration of the subject should be
postponed to Monday or Tuesday.
Mr. GOL7LBUKN had ,no objection to some delay, if the
roo,rs could not he printed against to-morrow.
Mr.-tREKVEY said, that though the papers might be print-
• d, it would be impossible for 11/embers to examine them pre-
Viourto the discussion.
.fitter some observations on the part of the CHANCELLOR of
tke ..Excitr.qur.a, Wiltruazan, Mr. ABERCRomitY, and
Mr. BRAND, tin Committee on the Bill was axed for Friday.
Mr. WALLACE moved, that an account of the number of
ships of the line, and of frigates, built in the merchants' yards,
from January 1793, to March 1814, be laitt outke table of tbe.
Llause.—Orderett:
