said, he did expedt would have any -weight, but
he was Induced to rise, that it might not seem to the
world that he and his friends had coniented to it, or

that they were not aware of the impropriety of so
going into. the subject. The observations made on
the folly of their being too backward to shed hurrian;
blood, wider circumstances like the present, were,
in his opinion miscslaced. The statute, he thought,
would be a dead letter with respect to the particular

Mr. BATHURiT defended what he had before ac-
vanced, and could not agree with the Honourable
and Learned Gentleman (Sir S. Ron-idly), that they
would not be justified in passing a law making the
offence they wished to prevent capital, till the ef-
fed of transportation could be tried. It was curious
to hear the Hon. and Learned Gentleman 'declare

Statute Bock, after he had been so pathetically de-
scribing its probable effects.
Sir S. Rommr..v explained ; and, after a few
words from Mr. Frankland, and an Hon. Meinber,

animals derive their name from a province of Spain.

sheep; the course-Wooiled that do not migrate, but

yards or folds; and the fine- woulled, that go regu-

pass the Summer, to the warm pastures of the
Southern parts of the kingdom, as La Mancha, Es-
tramadura, and Andalusia, and are called merinos or
migrating sheep."

On Monday evening last, about half-past seven
o'clock, as Mr. Joieph Mycock, a respectable far-
mer of Slate House, in the parish of Ham, near
