LORD CuAnest.i.ne atilressed the House at considerable
.letigth upon the, sehje,e, and after staring. his opinion as to
' the law of the case, and el, pressing his feelings thereon, he
tiloved a proposition wilding to affirm the Judgment of the
Couttbelow, with the annexation of t5Ol. as costs and on
the totstion being oft, the sum,: was ordered accordingly.
The Foyal Assent was given by Commission to le Public
and Priesse Bills; among the former were the Militia Fami-
tlea 'the 'tact India Volunteers, and the Vexatious Arrests
Dills. . .
• The Lords COmmissioners were the Lord Ctimvetta.olt,
tor,t Waa.st tasnAm, and Lord Au egeaeo. -
A great deal of private business was transaeled, in the
course of which various observations were made by Lords
A 0 ex t: ivei n, G w eeie, and the Bishop of ST. AsAtit•
- Lord Pet...neer presented, by command of His Majesty,
a variety-of:additional State, l'apetg, pursuant to certain
Ad-
dressesOf their Lordships, which,. after the titles wore read,
were ordered to lieen the Table. .
The various Bills before the, House were forwarded in
their respative st.o ,et.
The Exporters' Indemnity bill, and ''re Scotch School..

Cons of the Classic as it then stood, He was. by:nO means
hostile to the principle of reasonable and Adequate compen-
sation. but as the Clause was framed, too great a latitude was
ainracti with resped to the ratio of the intended compen-
sation. and lie thought an inquiry with respect tOthe losses
should have been instituted. He adverted to the principle
by which other Legislative proviiions era similar nature were
guided : he called the serious attention of the Committee to
the iwevisions in qtteetinn, which taking thein in certain
:relicts of view, he (kerma at lent to be questionable.
lord A u nee A well; answer to what had fallen from the
Noble and Teemed Lord, observed, that he differed from him •
to a certain degree with resped to the principle he had laid
dimn, "and still :time so with resped to the consideration of
fad. There were several strong precedents for the proceeding
Isefore the House : the object of the Bill was to make a certain
• change in the pratliee of the Administration of justice upon
principle of public benefit, which change tended 'to idled
rivate property. The Committee would recoiled that the
laces the'Emoluments of which were .to be diminished,
ewe granted to the parties for life by patent, or sotne'other- ,
:way, and in most instances had been enjoyed for a conticier-
We number of years. With resped to the Bill, they'must
take, it as it cAme before • them, and they had no reason to
think the proposed average was any .ther than a fair one.
It was reasonable that retsons whose properties were so af.
:trete& timid be cnmpensated by that Public for whose be-
- refit the changes were made. The. Noble and .Learned Lord
Awned toe-tied to the quantum of cnmpensation, and to the
proposed charge upon the Consolidated Fund. It was a •
.principle,repeateclly acknowledged by Parliament, that full
compenserien should be given fin losses so ineurredi there
were several precedents for the provisions in question, one of
their he read. beieg an ex tracterfroM an Adt (We believe) of
Ills-present Meleety, which went to empower the Omni's_
• sinners of the 'l reasery to allow the parties in question an-
lattitlea equal •in amount to the legal fees and curlutnents
of which they had been so soon deprived ; and in a* case
, .where no inquiry had hen instituted, and which,. as welt
as others, he: could refer to, proved that such proceedings
ewere recognized upon eeneral principle by the Legislature.
The Earl of LINNVAICIC, atter complimenting the Noble
. ;Lord who spoke last upon' the attention paid by him to the
concerns of Ireland, entered into a statement of the violins.
eirettrnstanceis which rendered the measure necessary, and
which was highly epprOved of in Ireland. With resped to
the ratio of compensation,'the Noble Earl observed, that the
increase of several of the Incomes to be afketeci by the Bill,
bad progressively been in a state of increase; the average of
three years, therefore, was nut only a fair but a moderate rate
of calculation. ,
Lord.Vicoent CA Rt,,A.:rox agreed in what had been stated
ilm the Noble Earl, and spoke, in approbation of the Bill.
The measure, he. observed, was one. looked ter ia Ireland
with great anxiety ; ittrieert it would there he regarded as a
boon. He allowed that in the instance of certain regulations
which had been made with resped to the Law Courts in this
rt of the Country, t o Compensation had been made, but
ev
:*lty ? Because no injury had been sustained hy•the parties.
He observed there xvere various precedents which bore out
the present case, and argued t 113 k the proposed average was a
'fair one, with a reference to the principle of just contpettse
. -tion.
The. LOR n Cumer.t.t.oa agreed to a certain extent in part
Of whit had fallen from the "Noble and :Learned -Lord who
opened thc.clisoisinn. The yarincipleof compeniition was
certainly a very delicate point; and 'with referente ,:to the
case before the Committee, it was one ofr rather difficult
calculation i for who could. when the effedof long habits,
arid o.t practice, was considNed, calculate with any degree of
Certaltity, what quantum of imtoturntnt-would be taken from
the Officers of the Court of Exchequer, by the departure
of Suitors to the other Law Courts ? However, upon the
whale, as the Committee had received, assurances from the
most respedeble quarters, that the Measure• was approved'
of, and cleft celled for 'in Ireland, and the consideration of
its leivieg come to -them f:rotte the other House, he did
not tidek the objections which he (entertained wire suffici-
mei i y •erong to withdraw. his.suppnrt from the Bill.
'I he Clause in question was then agreed' to, as were the
edict provisiOns of the Bill ; Lifter which the House resumed,
aped the Report was ordered to be received on Wednesday
neat, to which dal their Lordships adjourned.
