Amendments of the Lords 'agreed to.
On'the first reading of the'Philanthropic Annuity
Instigation Bill (to enable the Society
,to•.sue in the
name of their Treasurer),
The `LORD, CHANCELLOR observed, that 'it had
Nei), become a pra&ice for Societies of this descrip-
tion not to' apply for a Charter: of Incorporation,
which would. impose pertain Duties on them 'for the,
benefit , of. the Public, but to. come to Parliament
with.these Bills, in order to obtain just so much of
a corporate capacity as suited their own convenience..
He thought, therefore, that these Bills 'should be'
looked to with great 'jealousy, and he should take
an opportunity m another stage of the Bill of de-
livering his senthnents upon the .subjeet.
The Bill was . read a first time, and ordered to be
printed.

tion of the Offices in Reversion Bill -yesterday, a
Protest against' flint 'decision had beentregnlarlysen-
tered, but that it was wished to make 411 alteration
in two of the reasons alledged in the Protest. From
the unexpeEted reje6tion of that Bill, and the short.,
ness or the peririd'which had. since elapsed, he was
induz;ed to hope that their Lordships would allow
such an'alteratiou to be made', and also that those
