Cot:11:4.:. were heard relative to the Scotch Ap.

Hannay, Eq. vie. the Loan ApvocATß at con.
siderable length, as leading Counsel for the Appel.
lams, after which their Lordships deferred the fur-
ther hearing till to,morrow.
The Earl of NORTH ESK, • Lord Sosisass, the Bi-
• Shop of PIPTEABOROUGH; and the Earl of RonsN
of the Irish Representative Peers) were sworn
4nd•took their seats.
kor.l iiiNg addressed a few observations to ti 4
HOOF-e; 'hilt in sf) very lOW a cone of. voice; that ;lot
an idea could bexolleeted froth his Lordship below
-the Bar, •
LioV AUCX'L AND; in the course of some ob.
seivations which he made, part of which were ap_
patently in 'answer to something that had fallen
from the Noble Lord who had just spoken, express.
:rd his hope 'that no objedion would be made .to a
proceeding which he intended to move for, namely,
to postpone the Ortkr for the second reading of
the Bank of Ireland Restrietion Bill, till to.inor.
• row, - He. thought no serious objeftion could be
made by any Noble Lord to the proceeding, as the
Bill at present in force did trot expire till the ist
zeliune. The: Noble Lord then. took occasion to
advert to, the circumstance of the pending; financial
ditewsions. He observed, that there were some
additional documents, which he deeMed it essenti
al
to the perfeet illustration of the subject, should be
laid before the house : when their LordbiliOa had
seen Ihese, they would be more firmly convinced of
the acct racy of those general dedudiaostwhich he
bad occasion to make on former evenings ;• he felt
confilent-of being able to substantiate those propo-
sitions 'which he had hdd down, so favourable to
the growing Commercial and Financid prosperity
of the Country.
The Earl of LIME If I CA7 observed, that however
tiositous he might be cur a full and speedy disaus-
sion of the merits of the Bank of Ireland RestriAion
ill; nnd,the important subje4 connected wilt it,
on grounds which he had more than once advanced,
yet under the circumstances alluded to by his No.
bye Friend, be should not objeit to deferring the
discussion for the short interval proposed. •
Lord AII6CLANIi then moved; that the Order

. _
for the second reading of the Bank of Ireland Re.
stri&ion Bill be discharged, and an'Order made for
the second reading of the ;said Bill to-Morrow:
which, on the question being put,' was ordered
gcOrdingly.
Mr Earl of SUFFOLK made some observations
on 4 stthjeo, which recently had undergone sonic
diseussioki before their 'Lordships, and relative to
Which, he noticed, there was a Bill in its progress
through the other House of Parliament—he meant
the situation particularly of the inferior orders of the
ee;gy--.---he conceived it to be one of considerable
importance, and respeaing- which, the Milne ought
to have. every necessary information :- with this
view, the 'Noble • Earl had prepared a Motion,
'wl‘,ich he read, and of which the obje'l appeared
to be, to have laid before the House the number of
Reaories, &c. distinguishing Such as are under the
Y'llue of toOL those that have parsonage houss
thereon, the present state of these houses, ez.c.&c.
I,aerl AUCKLAND observed upon the imprac.,
ticability of .carrying such a Motion into effett—
there .was no regular office from which such infur.
in could be eolleaed. It would require an,in.
tee vat of more than twelve months to culled all the
iniormatiou described,. in the Motion,' at beat, it
would be impossible to render it of any 'benefit in
the view in which the Noble Earl seetrted to see
k, during the present. Session.
TLe, korl SUFFOLK handed up the Motion,
. -
and in ciplanatton observed, that there- Were 9000
Parishes or Reaories, of the description set forth in
the Motion, of which he understood more than
-sOOO were of a lower value than tool. : these were
faCts,' of which he thought the HoUse should he fully
informed, with a reference to the due illustration of
so ienrntiatlt ro.subjeicA„
The Lod CIIAN::ELLOR go;rt.td the Wool..
sick oh Ate .ocosion, and 'after adverting to the"
beads .of the Motion, objeaed to it on the grounds
lowdown by his,Noble Friend. He observed, there
was no Officer who could regularly be called upon
to.furnith the iniormati n. reqUired. His Lordship
seemed to recommend' to the Noble Earl to with.
draw the Motion, for the purpose, if he should so
ohoose, to endeavour to reduce it tO a Fa:Haile
t,hape ;---which recommendation, (as we could col.
lett), was agreed' to by the Noble` Earl.

Lord'AL/.,..KL/1.V.1) then rose to move for the
prodoCtion of those financial documents to which he
, had recently afiverted, which, he repeated his eon_
yidion, would imliseutably, shew the inercasing
final civet ploverity ache Country, as well as its
tight), improva commercial relations : the leading
deda:tion which he wished to 'establish, and in
which position their .Lordships would see that he
vas borne out by Official Documents before them,
‘siefe as follows ; that the net Revenue of the Coun-
try would be found to exceed 34. Millions Sterling,
cf which, after &duffing about z 7,600,000 for the
.4i,chririi,z of the Nationaf Debt, there would be the
num of 16,400,000 applicable to Public Purposes.
He observed, lie had the most sanguine hopes on
Otis "important national subjed, and entertained no
doubt of being able to establish the above &due-
Tht• Noble Lord then moved for the pr 6.:
aation of a number of Official Documents, which
cmisisted of certain Accounts from the Customs,
&c. and particularly from the xchequer;
Account of the, net produce of the Permanent
Taxes for unit year, ending sth of April, 18oz ;
and f3r the. quarters ending the sth of January, and
the gth of April, 1803, &c.
'I he qut”,i ions being put, the s,-441 Accounts were
crtdercd to be laid before the House.
The various :f;illt before the House were for..
