PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MAT Q.
Prayers were read by the Bishop of CHESTER, after which
the LORD CHANCELLOR went on with. the proceedings
in the
great Thelluson case, on which, the whole of the Judges being
in the House, the Lord Chief Baron (Alexander) delivered his
opinion in part, and inclined to the Judgment which was pro-
nounced in the Court of Chancery. ,
Lords Middleton, Abergavenny, atd Lauderdale were the
Appellate Peers.
Counsel were now called in. on the appeal of " Newburgh V.
Newburgh," in which Mr. Heald argued on behalf of the Ap-
pellabt, and Mr. Hart was heard for the Respondent, when the
further hearing was adjourned.
At four o'clock the Lord Chancellor left the House, during
pleasure, which resumed at five ; at which hour their Royal
Highnesset the Dukes of York, Sussex, and Gloucester were
present and an unusually full attendance of Peers.
PETITHJNS.
Lord ROLLE presented five petitions from parishes in De-
vonshire, praying that their Lordships would dismisa the Ro-
man Catholic Claims.

Lord KING referred to a petition which had twit presented
on a former day, from Sidmouth, by the Noble -Lord opposite,
who then took occasion to animadvert on a gentleman front Ire-
land, formerly a Member for Waterford. It would appear;
from the representations in the Newspapers, that the Noble
Lord stated that gentleman to have fled from Ireland to this
country, where he made a strange return for the hospitality he
experienced from the North Devon Militia, by sounding the
trumpet of strife among them.
Lord ROLLE considered that he was not answerable for the
statements of Newspapers in any sense ;—(Cries of Hear !)
and, at all events, this statement in particular, which the Noble
Lord called up now, was not authorised by him. With respect
to the allusion, it could not be correct, as he knew that the
Hon. Gentleman had not fled, because he served in Ireland
long after the rebellion. What he observed was, that this
Gentleman had acted wrong by stirring up discord where he
was received with so much cordiality. He certainly thought it
wrong in his endeavouring to create division there,
The Earl of LIMERICK had dose all he possibly could to
dissuade both parties from petitioning at all, and, in point of
fact, the Gentleman in question would have given way, pro.
vided the Noble Lord opposite would have yielded in turn.
Questions like these were sometimes better left to the sense
of Parliament. It ,was indiscreet and improper, no doubt, for
any one to
.pass over from one country to another for the
sake of stirring up discord—an imputation which, •he was sa-
tisfied, could never be attached to the Gentleman who was al-
luded to.

Lord ROLLE observed. that the petition he presented was
signed by 444 names, but the counter-petition had no more than
N names subscribed to it.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a petition
from the parish of Kingley, two petitions from places in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, and petitions from Tamworth and
Wellinborough, praying that no further concessions might be
granted to the Roman Catholics.
EDMONTON PETITIONERS,

His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK stated, that he con.
sidered it his daty to prt-.sent to their Lordships a petition, which
had lately been forwarded to him, from the Minister, Church.
wardens, and Inhabitants of the parish of Edmonton, in the
county of Middlesex, whose petition it was, that their Lord-
ships would refuse to entertain the Roman Catholic Claim 4.
He was informed that the. petition was numerously and re-
spectably signed. The prayer of the petition was one, at all
events, in which he cordially, heartily, and most sincerely join-
ed.—( Hear
The Bishop of EXETERpresented twopetitions, to the same
effect, from parishes in Cornwall.
The Earl of MANSFIELD presented It similar petition from
the city of Perth.
The Earl of WARWICK presented a petition from the
town of Birmingham, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill. ,
The Bishop ofSt. D Vi LYS presented petitions-from parishes
in Glatnorganshire and Radnorshire, and also from the Rural
Deanery of the latter County, against the Roman Catholic
Bill.

About this time there prevailed so much talking in the Home,
that the. Earl of LAUDERDALE thought proper to call their-
-. • .
Lordships to order.
Viscount DUDLEY and WARD presented a petition from
the Manufacturers and other inhabitants of Trowbridge, in
Wiltshire, in favour of the Equitable Loan
EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY.
The EARL of LAUDERDALE said, that as their Lord-
ships had .just received a petition in favour of the Company's
Bill, and as some of the inmates of the different prisons had pe-
titioned their Lordships in the same style; it might be useful
to observe, that persons of the latter description were not all of
the same opinion. Asa proof of this, hehad to present to their
Lordships a petition from certain inmates of the Fleet Prison 4
who prayed that the Equitable Loan Bill might not pass into
a law.
Lord DA CRE here wished to know whether his Noble Friend
Would allow him to move the second reading of the Equitable
Loan Bank Company Bill.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE, in reply, said, he had al.
ready .hewn their Lordships, 'that the present Bill would not
Only go to supersede the business of Pawnbroking, bnt insure a
monopoly in the lending of money at the rate of b per cent. in-
terestethough the object of the Company was charity to all men.
In the same manner the measure would supersede Auctioneers.
Brokers, and other traders ; and he could assure their Lord-
ships, that his only object in resisting the present Bill, was an
anxious desire to do justice to the public at large. Since he
came into the House, however, he had been informed, that an
officer from the Company was waiting at the door of the House,
ready to lay additional information before their Lordships,
which there could be no objection to receive at the Bar. • But,
under all the circumstances, he felt much disinclined to consent
to the second reading of the Bill at the present time.
Lord DACRE laid considerable stress on the sufficiency of
the papers now before the House. He admitted, that the docu-
ment of the Eth of Nov. last was not.among them, as there was
no authority for it. •
The Earl of LAUDERDALE had never said that the Paper
in question was issued by the authority of the Directors of the
Company. But he wished their Lordships to be informed what
were the expectations that the Company held out.
Lord SUFFIELD here observed, that the Equitable Loan
Company had never come before the public as merely a chari-
table institution ; their great object was to counteract the extor-
tions of pawnbrokers, and, in return, to reap an equitable inte-
rest for the capital so employed by them.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE was proceeding, when
The Earl of RADNOR wished to know _what was the ques.
tion before the House.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE still continued to remark on
the newly proposed companies. It was contended, he observed,
that the Equitable Loan Company was to do away with the ex-
tortion of tile pawnbrokers. As well might the Metropolitan
Fish Company be proposed for lowering the price of fish, the
Gas Companies for reducing the priceof candles, and the Steam
Washing Company to reduce the charges of washerwonaen.
The Earl of RADNOR here observed, that such companies
had nothing to do with the question before the !louse.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE was afraid that the present
Bill would make a monopoly, instead of destroying one.
The Puke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from
the Corporation of Norwich against the Catholic Claims.
The Earl of L AUDERDALE presented petitions from the
inmates of the King's Bench Prison, and also from the inhabi-
tants of Manchester and Salford, against the Equitable Loan
Bill.

CATHOLIC PETITIONS.
The Bishop of 'NORWICH, in presenting a petition from.
some Clergymen in the county of Norfolk, took occasion to re-
gret that so many:petitions had proCeeded from the Established
Clergy, requesting. their Lordships to withhold from five roil.
lions of their Catholic fellow subjects those civil rights-which
they
.were entitled to, because they.could not agree in matters of
religious faith.. There were, however, a number of Clergymen
in the county of Norfolk who, though equally anxious with. their
more zealous brethren for the welfare of the Established Church
entertained inorelib.eral views respecting those whodifFered from
them. .Such was the character of the petition he had now to
present to the House, signed by a number of Clergymen, with
the. Archdeacon of Norwich at their head who-thought that
Concessions to their Catholic brethren would best conduce to the
prosperity and stability of the empire.— Petition read'and laid
upon the table. ' ••
The Marquis of . liANSDOWN presented a isetition in fa-
your of Catholic Emancipation from the whole Protestant inte-
rest in the county of Kerry, in Ireland. it was signed by every
