TUESDAY, MAY 3.

Counsel were heard in continuation ,relative.to the Scotch
Appeal, Macpherion and Others, Creditors of the late Sir
Samuel Hannay, Bart. v. Ramsay Hannay,. Esq. viz. Mr.
H. Eau(' Ns at considerable length, as leading CrnittScl for
the Respondent 4 after which their Lordships; deferred the
further hearing till Thursday.
The. Earl of FIR It 111.3,. and Lords HAWKE and &I
"r 0 N, were sworn, and took their Seats.
Several Bills of a private or local, description were
brought up from the Commons by Messrs. R. D u 3,
BALDWIN, Ossottirt, and others, among which, was the
Glasgow Theatre Bill : thcie were severally read a first
time.
Mr. IR v t N a, Inspedor General of the CUStoS, presented
.several Documents relative to the Exports Customs, and Imports, our
suant to a recent Motion of Lord'AuciA4Ns,.,which were
laid upon the Table.
Mr. OWEN from the Diredors of the gast India Company
presented certain Accounts, direded to be annual?), laid be-
fore Parliament. .
The Order of the Day for the riecond reading of
the Bank of Ireland Restridion Biil being read, and
on the Question being put that the Bill be, now
read a second time,
Lord KING rose, and in a Speech of some length,
fraught with Financial calculation andtietail, de.
livered Ms sentiments Upon the .measure before the
House, and upon the important subjeds conned td
with lie. In discussing these, however, he ob.
served, he should, though- in a general view of
them they might bear a more comprehensive scope,'
confine himself to these points which more imme-
diately concerned Ireland. The Nitble 'Lord' iet
our with observing the very great increase of
Bank of Ireland small Notes in cite'ulation, which
. within a comparatively short space of' time hail in.
creased more than foUr.fold, and which considers.
tion should operate upon their Lordships' 'minds
with resped to. the great discretionary powers
which the present Bill continued to vest in. the
Ditedors of 'the Bank of Ireland. lie was aware,
that 'in defence of the measure much stress would
he laid on the utility of COuntty Rank'., the great
assistance afforded them by the National Bank, &c.;
but with respell to Ireland, a part of this argu.
ment would not hold good, for it was well known
that Country Banks had riot increasedeof late years
in that Country,- which was chiefly to be attri-
buted to the unfortunate situation in which that
Island had for a long time, been plunged. In con-
' sidering this part of the subjed, his Lordship
adverted to the large issue of, small Notes, as for
s:seven anti ten shillings, &c, and to the eft eds pro.
duct(' by such a circulation, and alluded to one ad-,
vantage which private Banks possessed over those
grounded upon extensive public iostitutions, name-
ly, the far greater control they poisessed with
- reaped to false and fabricated Notes. To a Cer.._
lain txtent, he admitted that the competition' pro.
duced by a number of Country Banks was of public
utility ; and he adverted to a circumstance, which
he said refleCted honour 'Upon them, namely, their
continuing to pay in specie for a considerable time
after the prohibitory order was issued in 1797.
Their:Lordships would be aware of the exorbitant
abuse of the discretionary power vested in -the Bank
Diredors of Ireland, when they comemplatsd the
excessive increase in the issue of small Notes, and
Which was a sufficient, reason, that in 1,80 , the
course of the exchange should ()eye ,per 'cent.
against Ireland, a circumstance which he regarded
as singular in the history of Commerce;; and specie,
lie observed, had in a great measure' disappeared in
the Southern.parts of Ireland.' The
.Diredurs had
perverted their discretionary powers .to. ends of
private advantage; he neeant the Prop ietnreof the
Bank Stock, which was ad tantaged to the public
detriment. He contrasted the large issues made by
the Bank of .Ireland' with those, 'of 'the Bank of
Englend, within regiven,period; and he contend.
:ea, that it would' he impolitic an,l improper to.
vest in future- such a discretionary power in
the Bank of Ireland Direttors, .after they had
seen the nature and tendency of eheir former
condud. He bad -it in -contemplation to pro.
pose a Clause to- be introduced into the
which in its effed would in some meau.re doaway

The suspension of pay ments in specie. 1 ie arg tied, that
such a regulation. would be attended with no
fats, and he expatiated upon the itripropriety of
Vesting in the Bank of Ireland power of depre.
dating the standard of the currency Of that Country.
- He, thought the case- at best ail exireme 'one, and e
were Parliament called upon to at stn, with respell
to the Bank of Englend, it would cerestinly refuse
the interference,; He knew norwhetleSr the present
was the regularstage for proposing ..sueli 'a Clause,

The Earl of LIMERICK made a very able end
• :spirited answer to this 'observations, of 'the. Nihle
Lord. In a sticed).replete with calculation anti at-
egumentative..deteil, he conteiatt4 'that the Direc.
tors of the Think of Ireland were driven by neces..
. , , stty, and from step to step, to increase the issue of
their small Notes, and that the -protrosed remedy,
iostead of removing, would 4)14 aggravate'whet.
ever unavoidable evils might exiSt. Towards' the
close of 1790 it was a part of-the'plan of a set of
desperate and ambitious .Conspirators,-wha plunged
their Country into rebellion, to palsy, by every
means in their power, the exertions suer credit of
the Bank of Ireland; a very eor6ideeable issue of
small Notes was the ne,ulr-of-their nischinetiods.—
}le contended thet the reedit arid -security Of the
Bank of Ireland was made stronger titan ever—it
:had withstood 'tlie shocks of; Rebellion, Invasion,
and of untoward event,,, from a variety of other
causes. Ile expatiated at length opt the various
causes of the unfavourable course of. E
against Ireland, which however.he

Chief of these he stated to arise (corn the eir;:4lS of
the-Rebellion, the Inteieseof Debt ro.itted to this
Country, and to the increased-Araiof, of Absentees,
These \fallouts positiens were, established, by the
Noble Earl by calculations and details draWn from

recommending i► to their Lordships to accede to,ilie

The Earl of LIMERICK and Lord KING said each

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
TUESDAY, MAY 3.

A Message from the -Lords stated, that they had agreed to
the Irish Revenue Bill, the inn-keepers' Subsistence Bill,
and to several private Bills.

Mr. HAWKINS BROWNS moved the Order of the
as), for the third Reading of the - Nottingham
Elretion Bill.

Mr. FOX said, the Ugh he had stated his objec.
tions at some length on a former everting to the
Bill before the House, yet he thought it his duty
now to address the House on the same subject.
'4' The Bill now the`subjetf of discussion, wateof se-
rious consequence to the Kingdom, as it went to
. undermine the ancient LaW of the Country, and
give an improper power into the hands of Govern-
merle: he therefore wished the House to give the
Bill due consideration before it was suffered to
pass into a Law. ,Much had been said of the lenity
Which hid. been shewn to the. Magistrates by the
• present measure, but he thought there was no lenity
in taking a man's charader away, when no charge
h-ad been made against him. This was exactly the
Case with respect to the Mayor and Magistrates' of
Nottilcgliani ; they have been abused, but :nothing
has been offeted to prove that' they were guilty-of
any 'offence : they have challenged the Comtnittee
to come forward and accuse them of improper Con-
duet, but the challenge has not been accepted ; it
. was therefore ottretneir. improper to destroy the
repu:atiort of the Magistrates; without giving to
the House some. proof of their gear, 1-k did tint_
mean 'to doubt but much disturbance had taken
place in the Town of Nottingham ; the Resolu.:
tions, however, did not go so: far as to prove, in
ans., way, that the Magistrates. had wilfully con.
hived at the evil complained of. If the Honour-
able Gentlemen who had brought this Bill ipso the
House were satisfied that the Magistrates were
guilty of any wrong, why not bring those Gentle-
men before a Court of Justice ? The Magistrates:
have repeatedly solicited to have their condud
canvassed in a Cowl of Law, but a species ..of.
lenity has been shewn them, that has gone ,to de.
stray their peace of mind and character. These
Gentleinen, by the present Bill, were to ace
count for the Riots Which took place, not
only at the late Elediott, but, for these ten
years past ; he considered it -a dangerous principle
to be acted upon, and ought not to receive the Vote
of the House. Agreeable to the Meaning of this
Bill, whenever , an Inhabitant is inclined to •find
fault with tht condutt of a Magistrate, he, in con.
jurtdion with a Party,' may increase tlie number of
Magistrates till there is no end to them, andtin a
• few years half the men ,in the County will be chosen
Magistrates, under the idea of looking over each
other ; this certainly was contrary to the ancient
Law of the C.otintry. It is a charaderistic feature
Of .the perfation of the British.Conslitution, that
Magistrates should be under the nomination of the
Crown : no increase was Made to -the number of
Magistrates in the City Of London in Consequence
of the. riot's which took :place in the year 1780,
but he was ready to allow there had been au in.
'Crease 'of Magistrates in the City and Liberty he
had the honour to represent ; and he was proud to
say, that the Magistrates of. Westminster had been
flighty "useful to the Inhabitaots,; If the riots at
Nottingham had been mentioned at the ;time the
riots,ot loodon and Birmingham had taken place,
little indeed would have.been thought of the cum;
plaint, lie must again'repeat, it the Magistrates
were guilty, there was" riot an inch of ground for
them to stand on ; but they had challenged a pro. •
secution, they had solicited their opponents' to pro-
ceed against them, as they knew a.Court of Justice
would send them into society free from disgrace:
As he
had mentioned the name of Mr. COKE re.
pettedly in the course of the debates on the present
Bill, lie thought it necessaryto say, he never- knew
a man of 'a better private cherader than that:Gentle.
.'man. It was almost unnecessary to mention the
great difference of opinion which has lung existed
at Nettiugham with resped to'Politics : he, how.,
ever, would say, if the present Bill passed' into a
law, it would be in favdur,.of Mr. COK.E, It had
been said, thit the power of concurrent Magistrates
would be only called in on extraordinary occasions;
but he would ask the:House, whether a man, having
been once nominated a Magistrate, would-nor, ac-,
'cording to the state of human -nature, -take upon
him all the authority of his office ? and then his
power: would be a compound of duty and interest;
'therefore the Hon. Gentleman saying, that the
assistant duty of the Magistrates was required dur-
ing a .;lot, was absurd. Notwithstanding ail that
:had been said with respect to the Magistrates of
Nottingham, he would ask, whether, the judicial
iiowei of Nottingham was worse than in any other
Town ?—:-.!He knew it was not. Mr. COKE brought '
it Bill 'into FariiaMent Some years age, to carry
the causes ftmn the Sessions of ,the Town of Not-
ringharn id the County, but no, man had thought
,proper to avail himseit I.lw to. this day:'
The present Magistrates were
.nor only to 'suffer
for the riots of the LISt Eledt.ioo, hut for all pre-
vious disturbances, such as pulling tIOWn houses,
ittills, tie. All these offences had been stated in a
very ingenious way to attach blame to the present
'Magistiates., Fox: then produced a iiatttpltiet,
and read several passages from it, wine') weet to
Slice., Iliac it the Bill passed, it'would -Operate. as
a rtniishment on the present Kigistrates'l by the
(n.tal,iishment of a concurient
.jerisditlitin of tlle ,
Comity Kagisti4tesi though it ditrpot debtroy 1

their present power. He said he should !rouble
the House but a minute or two longer, in observing
he had.no objeaion to the increase of the number
_of Magistrates, if there was an alteration in the
manner of electing them; the prtsent method he
could never submit to.

BOND • said, that what had ken before
rsaid on the Bill, rendered it unnecessary for,him to
go at- length.into its merits; but he-could. not but
express-his surprise, that the last Hcn. Gentleman
should have said last night, when the Bill was in
a Committee, that he had no ohjedion to-the Bill
i~~if his Amendment was acceded to by the Commit-
Htee,.and to bear him now, in the mnst energetic lan.
guage, .reprobate the whole of the Bill ; he thought
the' Hon. Gentleman a little inconsistent in his con.
dua. The Bill went, in his' mind, to prevent fuiiire
riots in the town arid county of Nottingham, which
must be the object of every man.'s wish who was ac.!
quainted with the wickedness which-had taken_ place
in that town and county. Now the. clause which the
:Hon. Gentleman had proposed, -went to give pottier
to persons after a riot had taken place ; this he
thought very inconsistent, and not of all calculated
to be of service to the inhabitants of Nottingham.
The Hon. Gentleman had used many strong words
to weaken the Bill with the HOuse, but he had to
obkrve, that no threats should prevent him from
,doing his duty. • He thought it would be extremely
wrong to wait for riot before the inhabitants nomi.
nated Magistrates to put a stop to it, and.therefore
the Hon. Gentleman's Ainendment could not he ap-
proved of. The Learned Gentleman (Serjeant LENA
who addressed the House on the merits of the pre.'
sent Bill, had stated that the measure had been
concluded in a very lenient way to the Mayor and
Magistrates, and that much blame certainly attached
to them ; he should therefore give his decided
•opinion in favour Of the Bill. •
Mr.' GREY said, that the Hon. Gentleman had
not answered. the arguments of his -lion.. Friend,
but he had ventured to make bold assertions t he
did not recollea that the Learned Counsel had, •in
his address to the House, said, that the Magistrates'
were guilty of Wilful neglea of duty, and he.
thOught it was contrary to the custom of the
House to refer to • any former debates.—-
If he was permitted to recur to what had been said
oik a farmer Debate, he was sure his Hun. Friend
had not approved of the principle of the Bill, as ft
had been s.lid : on the contrary, •he had reprobated
ihe'whole of the Bill ; but finding. that it had the
support of , the House, -it WaS his wish 'that an
Amendment he proposed, should:be adopted, in 'or-
der to -make it less objedionable ;. he, however,
would not trespass on the time of the House
peating his Hon. Friend's arguments; but he
thought they had been perverted. in a most unjus..
tifiable manner.

The ATTORNEY.GENERAL expressed his stir.
prize, that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Fox) should
have opposed the Bill, after he had proposed an
Amendment yesterday in the Committee ; the Ho
nourable Gentleman then gave a statement of the
faits whin took place in the Town and County
of Nottingham, and observed, that the present
Bill was btought into the House, from a cony*
tion, that the Magistrates had not done their duty,
and he assured the House, that lie would not have
given his support to the Bill if he had not been.
.sati,fied'rthe Magistrates had not done their duty.
It was therefore necessary that some measure should
he adopted, to keep the peace of the Town and
CoOnty ,of Nottingham, and ensure the Freedom
of Election. He could not approve °ldle conduct of
the Magistates and returning Officer, notwithstand.
ing ail that had been said in favour of them; and it had
been pretty clearly proved, that they had not taken
any effedual means to suppress the riots. If the
Magistrates had made use of all their civil power,
and that would not do, he had no hesitation in say.
ing, that they ought to have called in the military
to their assistance ; and he was sure the Re.
turning Officer would not have been' censured for
seeing the peace of the town kept during- a•
fair and legal. Ele&ion ; and the House of Commons
would pause had the business come before them,
ere, they would censure the Returning Officer for
doing all.he could to support the, Freedom of Elec.
tion, and keep the Peace 'of the Inhabitants. An
Him. Member opposite to him had said, that the
Judges had bestowed great praise on the order and
regularity of the Town of Nottingham, but it must
be recolleCted that was upwatds of eighteen years
ago, and, therefore, the encomiums of the then ex.
isting Judges could have no weight with the House-'
now. It was necessary, in order to prevent riot,.
that the Magistrates thonkl be known, that appear
anc'e and power should have some effed with a mob ;
under. all the circumstances of the case he should not
trouble the 'House any longer, as much hat! been
'said with- respect to the present question, but he
thought it highly necessary that the Bill should 'pass,
the Mouse, in order to support the Freedom of Elec.
tion, and the Peace of the Inhabitants.
,Mr cur explained. .1-k said, he AU n.ot
vert to the Hon. Gentleman having quoted the ar.
guments made use of on a forrner.day, but Cm; his
having: quoted particular words pupposed to have'
been used on a torrner day ; ,and that he tOck:the
'liberty of regarding as a praClice, whiCh, if follow_
ed up in othertases, might be attended with many
difficul:ies in debate, and sortie other serious incon.l
veniencies in the discussions of that House.

Air. 'FOX explained also upon the subjel of 'his
having .proposed, yesterday, to alter a ehiuse of this
in a Committee of the whole House.- tie said,
lle thought this-a bad measure; he had therefore en.
deavoured to alter it, so, as, to make it less bad,;:
but that did .not imply any approbation of any part.
()fit, any more than if n Land.tax Ripl of four Soil:
Bugs in the pound were now proposed, andite were
to propose in a Committee to-have. two shillings, in.
stead' of four, inserted in the- Lill; be could riot
be ;kaki to be a friend to the fill irsea--,,Ase proposed
r as a lesser evil than that of the original Bill. As
to his. having observed, that the'ttiwn of Tutting.
ham had been recommended-on account,of the Iran-
wnich had beenapproved of by ts'o Learn.
j,„fges, the .HOn. Gentleman who ttad taken' no.
of ts, had,very much misapprehended his mean.
Fie did riot quote it as an extraordinary case,
-merely „naccnnnt of. the '
absence of a Riot, hut he
stated it to 'spew the:Policoand general good go.
its present Nunicii
vernwent t 4 `fawn under

•
—and he Lid 4.c....lroparlied it with an ob.
Authority
servaiinn of a general nature, namely, that there
were ,fewer Crimes in the .town of Nottingham,
than many others of which no complaint had beers
made: this sheweti the purity of the general admi.
nistration of justice in that Town ; and the ohscr.
vations of the Learned judges, to whom he had re-
. ferred, fairly bore that interpretation, and he
thought the manner in which that subject was naw
treated, by Gentlemen on the other side of the
- House, full as hard on the Learned Judges, a:, they,
could be on him. With regard to certain Officers,
who had been alluded to in the course of this De.
' bate, he did not say one we on them, because
there was nothing concerning them its the present
Bill. As to any accusation that could be made
against the Magistrates for not bringingin the Mi-
iitaty, that was best answered by the fact—thei
did bring in the Military.
Mr. 171?ANICLAKD said, he should suppose
that if a tax was proposed of four shillings
the pound, and two_ shillings in the. pound was pro-
posed instead of it, such an Amendment might be
made by a perion whO thought if he could not oppose
the Bill altogether successfully, yet would wish to.
render it less objectionable; but he had no concep.
'ion of that sort of Amendment, which, under pre-
ence of lessening.a supposed evil, introduced index
peadent matter, that was of itself a greater evil
than that which it affected to diminish, and this be
considered be the nature .oftheaktnentirnent rea
comaneotied yesterday, by the Hon. Gentleman who
,hati :lost 'sat down IF (Mr. Fax). general ncro.l 011-
jeCtion to thii Bill was, that it might become a Pre'
-cadent,- which might be followed un, and made it
last to affea every Borough in the Kingdom a• upon
‘which, he confessed, he had no apprehensions -what"
ever ; the Riots of the town of Nottingham were
the foundation ofthis—they were not like the Ric"
of other places, for they were become- habitat
Riots, :mtl required a remedy like the present.
I'o'd-GEORGE' C APENDISH said, he thought
that the Question now before the House
was a very
important one, no-less than this, whether the Iree-
. dem of EleCticin of the ToWn of Nottingham should
be continued ? He disapproved of the Riots which
had taken place in that Town, but he thought nO
ground was laid for so stronka measure as the pre..
sent, which was 'that of altering the juriscliationot
the Magistracy of the Town. He thought there
should 'have been laid before the House 'Audi fur-
thee proofs of 'the necessity of stiella assure as
this, before it was adopted by the House., Ho
wag
himself an Eleftor of Nottingham, but he had 'never
exercised his Franchise, nor did he oppose .this mesa
sure from any personal considerations of any. mina
whatever. He looked upon the Right of Eleainn
as a very serious matter, anti not to be altered bats
.upon the . most absolute necessity, such as, in thi
case did not app :he thought innovation in' those;
p
• matters very dangerous. .
Mr. ROSE said, . that if this Bill was founded on
• - a•ntere Riot happening once at. Nottingham. h'
should have thought it ,prudent to have deliberated
afttxi deal—but that was not the case, fur it alos
air merely. on the last Riot at Nottingham that
Bill was founded, but on a proof of a system ",
rioting, and that proof came,before the Conirnitt3
on the cross.eXarnmation of the Wit noses

ion behalf of the Petitioner, when it appeocto jot
-as a sort of justification of the Riot
at the

there, was not new- Gentlemen seemed ta 51,"
