the Clergy Bill being moved, the question was put
felon the same,' when
.The Earlof SUFFOLK took the opportunity 'to
deliver his
.seotiments upon, the meat:ute he said;
he w;:is prevented by indispositiO6 from attending
the fothter discussions upon the. Bill—he would,Ato
st;tte his reasons why the 13111 ought; not to pass....;.
The Noble Earl then recited a irariety objedionti,
agitinst the measuie, in the course of Which, and in
his rteotoning upon the same, he expressed his opi.
oino, that it did. not go fiir enough ; he, dwelt
_largely upon the situation of -the poorer classes'of
the Clergy, those with small livings-as well as Cu.
rotes--he thought, considering ever), thing, no
Clergyman should have a less income than iool. per
1---n.• He entered into some calculations to shew
(s, we understood ate Nuble Earl), that more
half the Livings in the Country ,did not exceed
the atmital value of 60 0ri,701. He referred to some
ten s:statements in some of the public prints, of part
what he said in exemplification of the unworthy
• s;ttiation';Of the lower borders 9f the Clergy..-..He
• cont,oded liar the propriety, nay 'the necessity of
ameliorating the condition oldie persons alluded to,
end suggested some expedients for that pui-pOse e—
`l:he.ehief of these Was the exaction of real and of
ficient first-fruits and tenths, lespeding the produce
cit. which, he entered into some calculations, consi.
- ..tleriog' such an expedient as likely to produce
t50,',,001: per ann. The Noble Earl then alluded
to the Bill in its progress,through the other House,

excellent Statute, the Mortmain : continuing to

and put it .to -the Noble Earl's candour, if it
Wtle orderly to comment ul;on a Measure under the
consideration of the other flouse of Parliament. lle
had .the highest resped for his
,Lordship's Opinion,
. tint when the Bill in question came before the House,
it s,urely would be time enough to deliver it.
The Earl of SUFFOLK continued—He acknow.
le4th! what he
.had said was not strialy in order,
but it was very far, advanced in the Session, and he
Should be very stiortly constrained to leave town, on
an impoitant—oecasion, He then adverted to the
'fettle System, as to the Origin of which he deliver-
ea-his:opinions, and expressed his sense, that under
the prescrrt regulations, it was to a certain extent
injurious to the Agriculture of the Country, whia
Was a very important consideration, .the more espee
eially as France was beginning CO .beCome an Agri-
cultural Country, and which would give it a de.
tided advantage over every Country, purely C;un.
meteial. lie thought some regulations should be
matte with resped to the Ty thing System, and he
argued that the grievances left on the score of
Ty the,i', in another part of the United Kingdom,
led. to, or Were made, a'-pretext for, a great .p=art
attic disturbances Which had agitated that Country.

- regular or totally inapplicable to theisrlbjeete

observe upon, namely, a •part of what the Noble,
