lAIPERtAL PARLI4MENT.

HOUSE OF PEERS,

MONDAY, JULY

. .
VIACUANT to, the Order 01' the Day, the Learned
Twigs (the LoRD ANC E LuR having taken the
Woolsack at an early hour) proceeded to deliver
their opinions seriatim relati ye 10 the Appeal, Lo-
thian and others v. Henderson, Riddell, and Co..
which had some time since been referred to their
consideration.

Ten of their Lordships delivered their opinions,
of which it appeared that six were for affirming the
Decree, and four against it.
The ,Lotto CHANCEI.LoR quitted the Woolsack,
and made some further observations on the case,
and seemed to think that on account of the diß'er-
env; of opinion which prevailed among the Law
Lords, it were better to give each an opportunity
of considering the aggregate of the opiniOns which
had been delivered. In this view, principally, he
too 'ed, that the further consideration of the case be
adjourned till Thursday ; which meeting the appro-
bation of the House was orderedaecordingly.

The Royal Assent wits liven by Commission to
the Lottery Bill, the Irish Army of Reserve Bill,
the Bank oflreland Rcstridion Bill, The Irish
'Militia Subaltern Officers, the Irish Worktnehs
Combination, the Scotch Militia.' Families, the
Yon Gl.isgow Paving, and the Southern Whale
Fishery Bilk.
The Lords Commissioners were the Archbishop
CArecsaaufty, the Lotto CHANCELLOR, and
Lord WiILSINGUAM•
The Bills upon,, the Table were, forwarded in
their oleveral stages.
The Bristol Port „Bin was brought up from the
COllllllOO6 by Mr. BRAGG!? and others, as were also
two Private Bill 3. These were severally read a
first time, and at six o'clock the llouse adjourned
till togniorrow.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

MONDAY) JULY 11.

A Mess Act! from the Lords stated, that their
Lmdships had agreed to the Irish Army of 'Reserve
and the Lottery 13i11, without any Amendment.

Queen Ann's Bounty Bill was read a third time
and passed. _ _

The Loan MAYOR moved for leave to bring in
a Bill
,to-morrow, to increase the quota of persons
proposed to be balloted by the Army of Reserve
Bill in the City of London.—Leave granted.
Sir CHARLES Pout moved for leave to bring in
a Bill to increase the Funds of the Chest at Chat-
ham, to ameliorate the condition of the Pensioners
thereof, and'f,zt transferring the administration of
the Funds of,that Institution, to the Royal Hospital
at Greenwich.
Sir GYM. ELFOR D row to address the House
on the question, when the Deputy Usher of the
Black Rod appeared, and summoned the Members
to attend the I louse of Lords.

The SrE4KER, attended by several Members,
went there, and on hi* return informed the Hun3e
that the Royal Assent I►;ni heen given by. Commi-
ssion to thei Lottery Bill, the Irish Army of Reserve
Bill, the Irish Bank Note TI the Irish Work-
..
men's Combirhition Bill, an►l the Southern Whale
Fishery NIL.

On Sir CHAS. POLL'S Nlotian Leing put by the
SPLAKER,

Sir IFILLIAIII ELF() RD said, that had not a
buggcstion come from the Chair for having the said
Rcpott of the Commissioners of 'lnquiry read at
the Table, he should himself have• made it, as that
certainly was a regular mode of proceeding ; but he
could not help thinking that a still more regular
mode wnuld have been in the first "'twiner, to have
moved for the House to take into consideration all
the Reports of the CominiSsioners, because that
would have afforded an opportunity of comparing
the substance of those Reports with the liSSel [IOIIS
of the existence of enormous abuses, in various de.
part ments which were alledged as the ground for con.
stituling that Board, an.l would have enabled the
House to judge what Legislative measures aught to
be aeopted in consequence of them, and he would
undertake to say, that if instead of general asser.
titans of the existence of those abuses, the particu.
lar 'instances which had hitherto been under the eon_
truitilation of the CommiKsioners had been stated,

•
the House never would have conlentetl to the Bill
for their appointment, because whoeyer read these
2ceport.l, must see that the abases exposed in them
were neither in ilkir kind t+r degree of such atro.
city as required the ioterpositiim of any new or ex_
traurdinary power to develope or controul them,
for that the power already ',Obsessed by the different
Departments of Government were fully adevite
to that purpose, th;it the only ata of negleCt
buted to the Managers of the Chest of Chatham
was,that one,, of their estates had been underlet,
Anti the other abuse consisted in the Agents employ.
erl. by the Oat.pensioners having taken a larger
poundage for their trouble than they ought to have
done; 'this last charge, however, he thought very
do4btfttl. The Pensioners were under no restraint
whatever in the choice of Agents, of whom there
were a considerable number, and at the first view
of the ktitrje(l, therefore, it was fair to suppose that
the poundage was that which was only a fair COlll-
- or their trouble,—Jt was in short an
open market, where if the Mice had been too high,
a sufficient number of competitors would appear to
reduce it to a just standard. The result, however,
of the whole consideration of the assertions which
had been made when kur the appointment of
the Commissioners for lairptirY into Naval Abuses
was brought forward, and of the Reports which had
been made on that sohjeCt amounted to this, either
that abuses of 8114 magnitude did raol exist at all,
or that the Board of Admiralty had neglaied
their duty in not bringiog tinder the cognit7imee
the Commissioners in ;
the first instance, 'time cases
of the greatest importance, in which .the mot.
mil was such as to require the roost prompt
and immediate investigation. Wish reqpett to the
Bill now before the Houle, he wai not incllntrd ink.
Inediatc4' •to oppose it, although hr thuught the ne.
resttty Qf 1 by no means aliparelll,.dnil he did not
like the otiociple tin which it was futanital

was mulling more than this, that if any abuses were
found to exist in an of establishment, instead of
'suggesting me.sns to entre& them, the establish.

inettt itself was to be overturned, and a new one

substituted in its place ; he thought this a rash
system of innovation which tnight lead to the most
daingtrtms consequence% He had no doubt that the
Connuissioners had fairly and honestly executed the
funttions with which they had been inveited,
but he again stated, that no ground had appeared
from their Report, fin- their having been consti-
toted at all, and that the abuses they had hitherto
investigated were all previously known, and re.

quired no other powers to correCt them than those
which had been previously possessei by different
departincnfs of the Executive Government.
Mr. STURGES thought that every Member in
the House would .oncur with hirn as to the use.

'lllness_ of ihe livaitution, which was organized

upwards of two centuries ago, for protettinj those
persons who had spent their lives in the service of
their Country. There was now, it Itppeared, a surplus
of 35,0c01. which he thought was sufficient to
prove, that the institution had , not been mis.

managed. He reprobated ;the taking the power
and management of the Institution out of the pre.
sent Governors of the establishment, for any new
appointtnents and regulations that might be in con.
templarion. Thete was no real ground of coin.
plaint for removing the funds to other Governors.
The complaint made of the Attorney not being
able to give any reasonable answer with 'refilled. to
the letting of an estate under value belonging
to the institution, WAS too trifling to warrant
a general alteration of the whole system, the
Honourable Gentleman then took a view of
different Charitable Societies • which, if altered on
the same plan now proposed by the Bill inquestion,
would soon be unhinged and in a state of confusion.
He begged leave to refer the House to the Report of
the Committee of 1798, which would shew that
they thought it wrung at that time to alter the
number of Governors of the Institution in question.
How then can the Commissioners come into the
House, and ask Parliament to change the whole
system 10
Sir Wm. Et+koßD explained.
Mr. COURTENAY thought there was sufficient
grounds for the measure. The Bill was founded on
the Report of the abuses, which must be pretty
clear to every one who read the Report. He did
not mean to attach any blame to the Guardians of
this Institution, fur these abuses might exist with.
out their knowledge. An Attorney had said, on
examination before the Committee, that the House
belonging to the Establishment had not increased
in value ; and when he was asked to give at reason
for the property not having been made the most of,
for the benefit of the Institution, he could give.' no
reasonable answer. Surely these were grounds fur
the present Bill.
Ailm;ral BERKELEY said, he had mentioned
some Of the abuses to the Board of Admiralty, in
consequence of which he was given to undetstand,
that the Board was acquainted with the (tercets com-
plained of, and that the subjat was under their
consideration. But now he heard the business was
thrown on the,shoulders of his Friends.
Mr. KINNAIRD t,bsereed, that the Objet of
the Bill was to remedy the ahuses so notch corn.
plaioed of in the Chatham Establishment. it ap-
peared from the Bill, that there was a deficiency
of some thousands in the funds, of that Establish.
ment, and that the Right lion. HENRY DILINOM
had received 2.5,.0001. ai Treasurer of the Nay>,
by a Warrant of the Privy Seal. He thought,this
was a circumstance that ought to he expl4i!wd.
Mr, ROSE said, as to the sum mesitioned by the
Hun. Member being taken out of the Chest of the
Chatham institution, he would say a few words in
explanation of the fad, which svgs simply this,
that the deficiency alluded to arose from Mr. Adam
Jellico becoming insolvent, and the sum was, on
examination, allowed to Mr. DUNDAS, 00 blame
being imputable to him ; but it had nothing to do
with the subjeet immediately in question.
The SECRETARY at WAR, by command of
His Majesty, informed the House, that Captain
Boknow, a Member of that House, had been put
under an arrest by his Licutenant,Colonel, in order
to.be brought to a Court Martial, ftir a breach of
one of the Articles of War.
The STCRETARY at WAR moved that. an humble
Address be presented u, Ilis Majesty, thanking His
Majesty for his most gracious Communication, and
his tender regard fur the Privileges of that House:
which was agreed to, and ordered to be presented
by the Members of the Privy Council.
The SVCRETARY at WAR postponed his Motion
with respell to the Defence of the Country, till
Thurday next:
Lord CASTLEREAG lirose, and stated at some
length the nature of the Bill he intended to move
for leave ..to bring into the House. The principal
feature of which was, to allow the Contractors of
the East India Company an increase of the bum
agreed to between them and the East India Corn.
pang, prior to His Majesty's Message to that
House on the Bth of March last. The Noble Lord
entered into a minute detail of ;111 the circumstances
conneCted with the Company'a affairs, as far as re.
lated to their agreements with the Contraelors, and
concluded with moving for leave to bring in a Bill
for the purpose-above stated.
Mr.;7OIINSTONE thought the Bill proposed
was quite unnecessary ; he could by no means ap.
prove ache increase wished for by the Noble Lord.
The Contraftors had already gained considerably by
their engagements. From his knowledge of the.
Company 'a atrairi, and Icon a letter frilin the Secre.
tery of the Direi.'tory, he did not think there was
any cause fur the Company to spew their liberality,
when persons came into the Matket openly, and
offered to do bip.iness at 17i. per ton, he' thought
the ContraBors could not be hurt, who hail agreed
with the Company at 201. pt t MI. It is now pro.
posed to give the sum of Five Thousand Pounds
per Ship to these Contrattors, and many !Instill*
were to he found ready to cote./ into Contrads at
the sum of ;91. 17s. per ton.
Mr. Footse's was of opinion that it was not
wi,e to open a eon( rat after it had been once made,
fu, the purlanse of alteriin, the tanns of it.

kV.I r ...... i;;*/ 4 Old; it'd,

tended that the East In,lia Company ought to be
liberal in their contrails.

A short conversation ensued in which Mr. Rost,
Mr. GRANT, and Mr. ATKINS supported the mo.
tion, and Str WM. PULTRNZT opposed it ; after
which leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. Ftt ANC IS 1111Ved that there he laid heforethe
House an account of the capital stock of the East
India Company, with an account of the time when

. -
the different subscriptions were paid.
The further consideration of the Cotton Weavers
Bill was put off till Thursday._
LOrd CASTCER EACH delivered a Message from
His Majesty, stating that His Majesty had been
pleased to grant to the late Lord Amherst, a craft
of land in Canada, for his services in America,
particularly in Canada ; but some circumstances had
arisen which prevented flis Majesty's gracious in.
tention from being carried into effeel ; that His
Majesty had ordered the proceedings to be hid he.
fore the House, and trusted that the House of Com.
mons would take measures fir making compensation
to the heirs of Lord Amherst, &c.

The Message was ordered to be taken into con-
sideration on Friday next.

ther consideration of the Report of the Property

Sir ROBERT BUXTON, said he hoped the
Bill would not be put off; as he knew several Mem.
hers had staid in town, in the expeftation that it
would come on on Tuesday, and their presence was
now peculiarly necessary in the country.
Mr. VANSITTART said, the Motion was made
at the request of several Members who stated that
they had not had time to consider the Bill.
The Motion was agreed to. •
The Irish Treasury Biils Bill went through a
Commit tee.
Mr. CORRY stated, that if the Loan for One
M,llion was contratted for in Ireland, he should
have the honour of staling it in the Committee of
Ways and Means on Wednesday, in which case it
would not he necessary to proceed with this Bill.
Flc also stated, that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr.
