of Mr. lierCe.v ars clilliiren, as t, wouta gta ha up
to' plead the cause of his "own ; but he Would be
Sorry, if by perseverance in the motion before the
Committee, the Hon. Gentleman should endanger
that unanimity which would be so' truly honour-
able to them. •

Mr SUMN'ER observed, that the question of the
Honourable' Baronet ought to have been not how
Mr. Perceval would have proposed to remunerate
his o'wnservices, but how be would have proposed
to remunerate the services. of others.—Notwith-
standing all that had been .said, he was persuaded
that those who voted against his , proposition,
would one day have the painful refleaion of not
having liberally done their duty. He certainly
must allow he tad. not been an individual of suffi-
cient consequence to consult on the arrangement that
had been made out Of the Houe, but really be did
not see why the Committee were bound to receive
a cut and dried propositioi, and to say nothing but
" yes" to it. He entertained a great respect for
those by. whom the arrangement to which he al-
luded' had been made; but. there were two ways of
considering the question, and his view of it hap-
petting to be different from theirs,
_he should cer-
tainly press the adoption of his resolution on the
Committee.

G.
Sir G. WARRENDER was anxious that the annuity
of 2000 I• to Mr. Perceval' •s. eldest son, shotild com-
mence not on he death of his mother, but when he
should attain the age of twenty-one.
Mr. SUMNER deelined varying the form of hii
Resolution, as so many Honourable Gentlemen had
expressed their determination to support it in its pre-
sent shape.
General LOFT observed, that Mr. Perceval had
died in the prime of life. If he had lived twenty or
thirty years longer, he would have left his eldest
son in a situation that might have•enabled him to
transmit to posterity the- name of Perceval, with
all the dignity that ought to belong to it. He would
vote for the Resolution.'

Mr. TIERNEY heartily assented to All the praise
that had been bestowed on Mr. Perceval's charac-
ter; but he thought that, under all The circum-
stances of the case and of the country, Parliament
had done as much as they ought to do for any indi-
vidual whatever. If it were proper to do more,
wily not let it be done frcirn the Pension List ? It
the question were pressed to a_division, he should
certainly vote aga:nst the Resolution ; and a great
consolation to him, in being compelled to do so,
would be, that he should ad-in unison with th
to whom the memory of Mr: Perceval was pecu-
liarly dear. - •
Mr. CANNING explained.
_ _

Mr. Ross supported the Amendment, on the
ground that the resolution opposed the former ge-
neral understanding on the subjea.
Mr. STEPHEN supported the resolution, which he
would not do, did he think that the Gentlemen op.
posite had already conceded to unanimity more than
they ought to have been emletted to con-cede.

Mr. 13ATHURST would vote for the Amendment.

Admiral HARVEY asked, if any accident were
soon to happen to Mrs. Perceval, what ,would bN
the situaion of Mr. Percevat's , eldest sun ? He
would a6lually be without the means •of obtaining
such an education as would qualify him fur a ltbe-:
ral profession.—He must vote fur the ad.cli:tohat •
grant.
The Committee then divided-,-

the ,Commit tee again divided,.

The House then resumed.

On the question that the report be brought up
tb-morrpw, a desultory conversation took place with
respect to the probability of a discussion on the 3d
resolution, which might extend to such a length as
to encroach on the time 'at which the House were
to wait on the Regent with the Address.
The SPEAKER suggested, that in that case the
two first resolutions might be agreed. to, and the
report ordered to.be taken into further consideration
at a subsequent period. It was consequently or-
dered that the report should be brought up To-
morrow.

The House then went into, a.Committee on the
Orders Council, and proceeded to the examina-
tion of witnesses ; after which the other orders of
the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned.
