with respect to William Carr, • Lord 2ieresfori4
and Rowland Lord Hill, which, with the fore-
going, were ordered to be referred to the Coin.
mictee, to be taken into consideration to-morrow.
• W'EIGHTS AND MEASURED.

Sir G. CLERK, after expatiating ttt some length
on the importance of the subject, and on the ex-
pedieney of legislative interference,' with a view
to remove the evils and irregularities %Odell at pre-
sent. exited, moved that a :Select CoMinittee ht
appointed to inquire into the Original Standard of •
the Weights and Measures of tbe•UnitedKingdom.
to consider the existing Laws on the sithjeet, at:d
to report their observation thereon;- together with
their opinions as to the 'best means of ascer-
taining and enforcing a certain and univerSal
Standard.

Mr. WHITBREAD highly :•tpproved of the Hein.
Baronet's object, and hoped he'would be more
snecessful in the attainment otsit than his predeees.!
sors in the same effort. The regulations atv present
existing were extremely intnitynite, even as they
relatcd to frandtilent Weighttpand Meaiures, the
Magistrates being merely empowered to seize thy:
former ; and in the very net of doing so, they
not infrequently rendered themselves liable to the
operation of other lawsl

Mr.D.,thrinv warinly supported the motion.
contending, that nothing could be produetiyk" of
more general benefit than the establistunelt of
the regulations wished for by the flon. Baronet,
The motion was then agpeed to, and a Coin-
,
rnittee appointed.
