IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 9.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at a quarter past five o'clock.
The Bills on the table, among which was the Customs'
Regulation Bill, were forwarded a stage.

The House went into Committee on the Irish Infir-
maries Bill, and after a few observations from the Mar-
quis of WESTMEATH and Lord PLuivicaT, the report
was ordered to be received on Tuesday.

under the control of Government before they were carried
into effect.

Lord SUFFIELD supported the clause as it stood.

The Duke of WELLINGTON must say the chang.
now proposed to be made in the laws of India was alto
gether unnecessary and uncalled fir. He had been in the
country for several years, and he could therefore assure
their Lordships that he had never witnessed even a sinel,
instance of cruelty towards a slave. He would recom-
mend the chose to he struck out altogether.

After Rome conversation, the amendment was agreed to
as was also the clause.

The rep .rt was the❑ agreed to, and the Bill ordered to
he read a third time on Wedne,day.
SEPARATISTS' AFFIRMATION BILL.

The Earl of GOSFORD moved the second reading of
the Separatists' Affirmation Bill.
The Bishop of HEREFORD stood forward reluctantly
to object to this Bill. It was not until very recently ht
was aware such a sect as the Separatists existed. He had
no doubt they were a very respectable body of persons;
but his apprehension wag, that any person having a con-
scientious scruple against taking an oath would evade thr
law, by declaring he was a Separatist. If any Noble
Lord would move that it be read a second time that day six
months, he would support the motion.

The Bishop of CHICHESTER should support the
motion for the second reading.
Lord WYNFORD should in Committee move that the
party affirming should say that "I, being one of the
people called Separatists, do affirm, &c." This he thought
would be a sufficient protection against fraud.
The Bishop of CHICHESTER fully concurred in the
observations which had just fallen from the Noble Lord.
Such a declaration. lie thought, would be a perfect security.
Lord PLUNKET conceived the amendment stugested
by his Noble and Learned Friend would satisfy all parties,
and render the security perfect.
After a few words from L-td SUFFIELD, the Bill
was read a second time, and ordered to be committed.
The House then adjourned until Monday.
