PARLI AM ENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22.

The Earl of LIMERICK moved that the Doyle Divorce
Bill be reported with the Amendments to-morrow—Agreed to.

POOR EMPLOYMENT (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE finding that tl•.?. Irish Em-
ployment of the Poor Bill would not be brought to their Lord-
ships this day, moved that his notice respecting the Suspension
of the Standing Orders of the Day be discharged, and fixed for
to-morrow.—Agreed to.
BREAKFAST POWDERS.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then stated that he had re-
ceived communications from individuals in various parts of the
country, complaining that tyrannical prosecutions had been
instituted against them by the Board of Excise, on account of
-their selling Breakfast Powders, although they had commit-
ted no fraud, and had taken every precaution requisite to pre-
vent the committal of any by their agents. The statements
were most plausible, and they offered to substantiate by evi-
dence at their Lordships' bar, that they had committed no
fraud on the Revenue, and had taken every precaution to
prevent fraud, and that, notwithstanding, they had been
alarmed by prosecutions, or by the threat of Wing prose-
cuted. Having referred to the Act in virtue of which the
Commissioners of Excise had instituted those prosecutions, he
had no doubt that it entrusted them with a very extensive dis-
cretion, one greater than could have been contemplated by the
Legislature. He had already brought the subject before the
House, and, under the impression that it could never have
been the intention of Parliament to delegate a power which it
alone ought to exercise, he should have felt it his duty to intro-
duce a Bill to alter the Act, had it not been for the objection
' which their Lordships knew to exist against the introduction of
Bills of that nature into their House. But if he did not carry
the subject farther, it was with the hope and confidence that a
Bill would originate in another place to amend the Act in
question, and to rescue persons from the difficulties under
which they laboured, in consequence of .the power inadvert-
ently entrusted to the Commissioners of. Excise. The only
thing required should be to have it made plain that no fraud
was or could be committed, and not to prevent the sale of sub-
stances that were not coffee. It must always have been-wished
to extend the liberty of selling such substances to the people,
and particularly under circumstances like those in which the
country was placed.
The Irish' Malt Duties Repeal Bill was read a second
time. The Seditious Meetings Bill was read a third time and
passed.

- Mr. Monais presented certain Returns from the Chief
Baron and the Barons of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Order

Mr. FELLows, from the Stamp-Office,presented an Account
of the Number of Country Banks issuing Promissory Notes,
and of the Number of Partners of which the respective rirms
were composed—Laid on the table.—Adjourned.
