tame 5A in that of all the Conimons of Great Britain, that
they are determined to support with their lives and all that
is dear to them, the Government and Constitution, firm and
unchanged, to the latest posterity."
Lord BOY LE seconded the Motion, and ex.
'pressed high approbation of the measure taken
to inform Hls Majesty of the loyalty and attach.
meta every Member of that House felt for the
Sovereign and Constitution of this Country.
,'.On the Motion of Mr. LEE leave was given to
bring in a Bill to regulate the Process in the Irish
Courts of Law, and assimilate them to those of
England.
The Coaste LLOR of the EXCHEQUER signified
a wish that a pro Vision should he made for one of
Majesty's Secretaries of State here, who has
;iveo up zoool. a ,year in this Country, consider_
ink; himself compensated there by the situation he
Ito% in Ireland as the principal Law Officer, by
patent right in one of their Courts.
Mr. LEE then signified his intention of moving
for a COmpensation to that Noble Lord and Officers,
.when the Bill should be in a Committee.
he House resolved itself into a Committee on
the Mutiny Bill.
The SECRETARY at WAR said, he wished to
call the attention of the Committee to the Amend-
ments he was about to propose, as some of them were
of Importance.- The principal Amendment he had
to submit to the Committee related to Desertion.
• This crime, which was so highly detrimental to
the Service, had increased of late to a great extent,
• to much so as to amount to one-fourth of the num.
ber drawn from the Recruiting Service. It was well
• known that the British Army was at present so con-
' stituted as not to admit of any non-effedive men, and
it was therefore highly necessary to enaa an ade-
quate punishment for the crime of Desertion. At
present the provisions- of the Law in that resped
were in some measure nugatory, as there was only
a power given to His Majesty to commute the
punishment of death for that of service in the army
abroad for life, or term of years: Independent of
' its being highly improper to make the military
service a punishment, it was evident that a man
could serve no longer than lie was fit for service.
It was therefore thought advisable that .a power
Should he given to His Majesty to commute the
Capital punishment adjudged by Courts Martial
for transportation, which was the purport of the
'principal Amendment he intended to move. There
were also several other amendments which he intend.
ed to move, the
.objects 'of which were, to increase
the penalty upon those who harboured Deserters
from the Militia,. o prevent Non-conimissioned
Officers and Soldiers from receiving their pay when
under committal upon conviaion, to make some re.
gulations respeding WaggonS and Carriages pressed
upon service, and to institute a summary process
against those who illegally bought Oats, Hay, and
Straw, from Persons employed in the Army.
,• • General TALUETON said a few words expres:.
of his approbation of the Amendments, which
were Severally agreed to.
The House being resumed, the Report was or_
tiered to be received to-morrow.
Tbe SPEtiKER called the attention of the House
to the circumstance of Mr. A•rxtris's non-attend-
ance on an Elation Committee, which had been
reported in thetatly part of the evening,- and stated
that he had been informed that Mr. ATKINS was in
• such a dangerous state of health, that it was
'possible for him either to attend upon the Commit-
tee, or to attend the. House to-morrow.
Dodor ROBERTS being called in, proved Mr.
ATKINS'S illness, . who was thereupon excused from
attending any further upon the Committee.

Vommittee of Expiring Laws, which was ordered
to be referred to a Committee of the whole House
