LISKEARD ELECTION.

Mr. Sil sit t DAN moved ,the Order of the Day,
which was for resuming the Debate on the subject of
the Liskeard Elation—which being read,
The SPEAKER reminded the House of the State of
the question, which was, whether the consideration
of a Petition before the House should be postponed
Or riot.

Upon which a desultory conversation took place.
Mr. SHERIDAN moved, that the.said Oreler be
discharged.
Mr. BURROUGHS said, that neither the,Peti-
tion of Mr. HUSKISSOIT, nor that of Mr. THOMAS
SHERIDAN, stated any case upon which the House
was called upon to take this matter into considera-
tion, under the provisions of the Grenville Aft;
and, therefore, that the subject ought to end here,
as far as regarded this Petition ; but he blamed the
conclud of the Returning Officer, who had caused
this double return to be made, and for which Ile
thought the Under-Sheriff ought to beheld respon-
sible.

The SECRETARY at WAR said, that some of
the observations he had just heard, rather belonged
to another question which the Howie had decided,
than the present, upon which he thought the Mt
was imperative, and that the House must, therefore,
refer this matter to a Committee.

Mr. BURROUGHS explained.
Mr. HENDERSON 'thought that this matter
did not come within the provision of the Grenville
A&, and that the House ought not to refer it to a
Committee, but that the Clerk of the Crown ought
to be ordered to attend the House to-morrow, to
alfer the return, by taking out entirely th•!t par;
of it which refers to Mr. THOMAS SHERIDANI
and' that the Under-Sheriff be ordered to attend the
House, for what the Hon. Member called gross mis-
condtot.

Mr. SHERIDAN doubted whether the Hon.
Gentleman who bad just spoken had paid to this
case all the attention necessary to understand it,
and contended, that the Ad. of, Parliament in this
case was impericive upon the House, and that the
übjett of'it must be referted to a Committee. He
disclaimed all ideas of wishing to keep Mi. Fitts-
KISSON from his seat until the [merits of the Elettion,
were determined. He had wishes to the contrary,
and CO had his Honourable Relation, who was the
oppocite Candidate, for which reasoo he had aban- •
cloned the Return, at which the Maws' of ache
Borough were dissaiisfied, and ea far were they •
from giving up the contest, that he had reason to
believe they were about to institute a proceeding'.
upon the statute of King William,. for •Making a
false Return. -
Mr. W. DUNDAS juqified what .he had said
on a former occasion upon this subjeEt, snd begged
leave to repeat, that he disclaimed all idea of con-.
netting, in any manner whatever, Mr. THOMAS
SHERIDAN with the miscondutt which bad caused
to the House so much trouble upon the subjett Of
the Return of this Election.

After a few words from Mr. Cox, and from Mr.
HENDERSON and Mr. BURROUGHS in explanation,
and Mr. SPEAKER upon the Orders of the House,
the question was put, " That this order he dis.
charged ;" which was carried in the affirmative.

IVir:SHERIDA.N then moved, " That .the said
Petition be taken into consideration on the -3d of
May next."—Ordered.
Mr. Cox proceeded to move, that the considera.
tion of the other Petition on this Eledioa on The
Merits, should he postponed, until the return shall
have been decided, for the purpose of saving trouble
and expence to the parties, Bcc.
This Motion, after a few observations from the
SECRETARY at WAR and Mr. SHERIDAN, was
withdrawn, and converted into a notice, that it
shall be made to-morrow. _ _ _

Mr. SHERIDAN presented a Pe.titition of certain
Eleaors of this Borough, complaining of an undue
Return-, &c.
Refetied to the Committee on the Eleaion.=
Adjourned.
