respen to the point of diseretionary power, it
must rest somewhere; and he knew of no qtyrter,
in which it could hp cunstitationalty rest as with t!
Bishops, and withifiut some enithnent of thts kini,
they were unable to enforce residence ; neither did
he think such a power wduld be partially or-impro-
perly exercised by these Reverend Charaters 'they
were at any rate called upon to give the; measures
proposed by the Bill a trial :—the length of its du-
ration, as well as any other particular provision of
. the Bill, was fur the wisdom of the Legislature to
consider. After urging a variety of other points in
support of the Motion, he said, in case the Bill
should then be read a second time, he would pro-
pose that: their Lordships should gas into a Com-
mitteesiin it, either on Thursday or Friday, as may
be most convenient.

Thc.Duke of RICHMOND proceeded to remark
on some of the statements of the Noble and Learned
Lord in such a way as induced
Lord AUCKLAND to speak to Order, in conse-
/pence of which a short explanatory conversation
took place between the Logo CHANCELLOR and
the Noble Duke' upon the point of Order.
After a few farther remarks front the Duke of
RICHMOND, upon the Bill,
The Bishop of NORWICH delivered his senti.
ments at some length; in the course of which he
expressed himself not adverse to the Bill's going to
a Committee. He entertained objeftions to some of
the crauses, which might be removed in that stage
of the Bill.

The Bill was then read a second time, and on
the qt.ietion' for its being 'committed, •
Tbeßitbop of St. AqAPHtook the opportunity to
offer some observations upon the measure, rather
more in detail than in the first instance. He cx.
pressed his y.lisapprobation of the fabric of the Bill,
and seemed to say that the proceedings of the Com..
mittee must go,to a recasting many of the leading
.provisions of the Bill, in Order to• render it unob-
jeaionable in hisopli,i,,n.
The Bishop of NORWICH spoke in further ex.
planation of sintiments, after which the ques.
thin was put, af,d the Bill orderid to be committed
on Friday.
The rem:lining- Bills before the .House were dis-
posed of, and at. Eight o'Clock their Lordships ad-
journed till 'to:marrow.

. Mr. WICKHAM said, the °Neel of the Motion
which he meant to submit to the HouSe, w'is for
leave to bring in a Bill to enable the'Commissioners
of First Fruits; in Ireland, to advance certain sums
of Money to thelneutnlients of Livings, to enable
them to re.btiild their Parsonage Houses. It was
perie6ly well known "to every person acquainted
with that part or the United Kiogdoin, that there
t-as
,throughout the whale of it, a great want of
Parsonage Houses ; much so, that however de-
sirable it might be to compel' theßesidence of Cler.
gymen upon. their Beoefices, it was impossible from
the want of house, in which they could reside,. It.
happened, fortunately, that there was, at present,
a large snip in Ireland, which may he applied to this
purunse, anti which, froth, peculiar circumstances,
could not be applied to the purpOses for which it was
originally intended. The Board of First-fruits and
Teothi, .were dire te,l by the,..Aet of qt36co
to apply the Revenue with-which they were en-
misted- in a certain mannyr, hut that Revenue had
increased:so much; that it could not in faet be ap,
plied to the purposes, originally intended'. There
was therefore a considera.ple sum of money laying in
their hands ; and the ()hied of his Bill was to enable
the Commissioners of First-fruits' to lend - sums of

two years Income of the Benefice, winch money was

Mr. FII2GERALD said, he never in. his -life
rose with more pleasure than to second the Motion
of his Right Hon., Friend. Every man at all ac_
