merstel:.h, containing a population of about 120,000 in•
habitants, residing on an area not exceeding 8,000 acres,
and comprising also above 13,000 houses, of
the annual rental of 10/. and upwards; and
further, in consideration that there is no other district
in Great Britain with so great a number of inhabitants
and houses unrepresented directly in this House, it is
expedisnt and just to incorporate, by an Act of Parlia
went, the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and
klainmersueith, into a Parliamentary borough, em.
powered to return two Members to this House, to fill up
the vacancies caused by the disfranchisement of the late

state of the law ns respects the alpointrnent of receivers
of ihe Courts of Chancery and Equity Exchequer in

under their control; and how far the same have con
ductl to the improvement of the said estates and the
condition of the tenantry, or the contrary.
Mr. Anstey—To move the following resolution :
That this House views with serious concern and disap-
probation the great and growing increase of the consump-
tion of the plant chicory in the adulteration of coffee,
contrary to Act of Parliament ; such increase
having been, in the opinion of the House, chiefly
owing to the orders given by the 'Administration
to the officers of Excise not to enforce the said
Act. That the direct results of such orders have
been the fraudulent sale of ground chicory, under the
name and at the current prices of ground coffee ; a cor-
responding depreciation of the value and decrease in the
consumption of coffee, although the supplies of colonial
coffee have at the same time averaged 50 per cent. more
than those of any former year ; increased depression
and distress in Ceylon and other c° eff -growing colonies ; s
permanent loss of revenue to the actuale amount of some
hundreds of thousands of d
as
augmented
a annually, and which
loss in the last year w grnenrd by the addition of
upwards of forty thousand
of the fair dealea ; discontentun astird ; the prejudice
colonies , and the encouragement of Ishaetretiontelpanetehee,
both at home and abroad, to disobey laws,vielih-
evil-disposed,

administration for sanction and enforcement.
