LIGHT-HOUSES.

Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET moved for leave to
bring in a " bill to alter and amend such parts of the sta-
tutes passed in the 31st, 36th, and 44th years of the reign
of Geo. 111., relative to the making of improvements in
the lights at the Mumbles.
Mr. P. THOMSON believed that benefit would arise
from the proposed alteration, but as there was a committee
sitting respecting all the light-houses, he hoped that the
noble lord would, when the bill had paved through its
first stages, allow it to be referred to the committee above
stairs, which was sitting on the subject of light-houses
generally.
Lord G. SOMERSET—That was exactly the course
be wished to be adopted after the second reading of the
bill.—Leave given.

Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSSON said that as far as

Mr. HUME moved for returns from the principal rte;
gistrars of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury ;
stut
returns from the deputy registrars; also, return of owl
in the said court at the disposal of the Archbishop°
Canterbury.
Dr. NICHOLL said that the hon. member for Middle'
sex laboured under a misconception as to the direction to
e
which the proceeds in question went. Five-sixths of sishtb
proceeds went to the Stamp-office, and the remaining p,
only to the officers, in the stripe of fees. A great lON
fees were abolished since the last settlement in P 1775.
Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSSON characterised the rvi
