NRSVANIT to a former Order of the Hoqse,
Counsel were called to the Bar, relative to the claim'
of Sir C4clt, Btsstiorr, 3aronet, to the Barony of
Zotica. But, 'at, we could colleCt, on account of
some informality in part of the introduaory m-

The various Bills before the House were for.
warded in their respedive stages. Among these
were the Irish Qiehe House Bill, the Irish Ship

in Ilrize Causes, ,Vc. he. disclorgod. It was-with
regret-, and he might say surprise, that
.he heard of
such at Motion .being made. In the Ordinary •course
;of prat ices it was to have been expe6ei.thit no
i Motion of mportance`would have been made with..
not tio.ice, in order that the parties most immedi_
ately concerned might prrpare for its discussion ;
and tin referring to site Order Book he found that
sir, notice i.l,beerygiVen hh this cast. It was true
that tit,: lion. Gentleman had, with great personal
' civ lity, previously communicated the ,intention to
kkt th.e House was not. apprized of it. 'fhe
lion. Alernher had inferred from his ailenee that he
had no objection to the Motion, and so he had made
it, and as it was not opposed, the Motion was put
acid prrita ; but. the truth was, that he had an ob.
jection to the INlotioti, and had he been in the
f-Luse, it should nor have passed without opposi.
Lion'. The, objeaion be,had to it was, that ,no par.,
liamentary ground was laid before the House for
.t j: rlieprodw.tiop'of these documents. He
did not tenderstand that any such.ground was laid
tin the Motion, and as the effeet of complying with
• it, would be to cast art imputation, on the conduel of
of ikdtpiraltyl and on chic conduft of 'the
Exccutive Government at. That time, for all .the
Government was in some measure included in the
c.„mpitiirirs of that. Memorial ; and that being dune
wits our.any foundation or,Parliatnentary ground for
inquiry, and three wear Law- (Mims of the Crown
lac;i,tg complained of ill the Memoriali namely, the
cr 2- 3 Attorney-Crixeral, the King),s.-Advocate,

and the Kinea readtv:he thought it would be
improper for the House to order to be laid before it
any do, ument of this nature ; he said this because
he was most credibliinformed, that all this coin..
plaint against these Learned ant) Honourable OE.
cers, was wholly without foundation, and ;he proof
that, the charges were .well founded ought co have
been adduced by the Hon. Member who made the
Motion. Besides the in (11) the lYlemtker's
of aovernment, at the time of presenting the Vlemo.

rial, there was another cast on those 'who at present
composed the EstecotiveGovernment ; and it would
appear by this Memorial as if they bad neglected to
take proper steps on that occasibo to redress the
Grievances which were stated in the Wlensorial, a spec
tcies of censure to which none of His Majesty's Mini.,
•
ster4 could smilosoir, because they were not conscious
of deserving it. If the Hon. Gentleman had stated
that he mew to institute ran 'lnquiry afterwards
into the
,ecinmiud of those Ministers of povernment
of. whom he complained,- and had laid before the
House ground of suspicion, that they had miscon.
dueled themselves ; then it would have been regular
for him to have made this motion, and indeed it
would have.been his duty to move for documents
to dwidate the subjetl. But: he had laid no Per-
liatiantary ground for the production of, such'Llocus
mews,; it was unfit that they should be laid before
the Housei under an allegation of misconduat,Where
there was not any such. If suspicion hat been en-
tertained, it was necessary that the faa should he
disclosed and he was happy to add, that if there
was any thing irregular in any part of the case
stated in the Memorial, it had been long since
corrected by his Right lion. Friend, and that at
this moment there was not the shadow of ground
for complaint in these particulars against the' Weird'
of
.Admiralty. Vor these reasons he thought he
owed it to the Hon. Persons alluded to in the Me.
morial of the.ndo. Gentleman,..as well as to flis
Majesty's Governpent at large, to move that first
the Order for laying this Memorial and Papers be.
fore the House 'be read, and then to move that the
said Order. be discharged.
The Order, ,That a Copy of the Memorial, with
acctimpartying Papers, presented to the Lords Corns

Cochrane, in January rag's be Plaid befOre.' the
House, being read,
TheCshsiss:ELLott of the Excltzotte; moved,
that-the said Order be dischatged.
Captain CUCHR,i/VE proceeded -so state the
,reasons on which he moved-for the plocludion of
these documents. He said," that he had a great
many Prize Causes to be heard in the Court of Ad,
mirelty, and he was dissatisfied with the manner in
whichethey bad been ;concluded, He complained
that in all cases of Prize: Ceases the King's Prodor
must be employed by all the Officers• of the King's
Navy.' He thought it was but just that each Of.
ficer who had e Prize Cause should be allowed to
chose-his own Prodor.- He Saiti, that in many in.
'stances the partner of Mr.Heseltioe,• the King's
Prodor, was often concerned for the -party that
was 'atltieree to the Kitsg's Officer for whom the
King'S Prodor wad concerna He complained
that these practices were highly dangermis to
his -interests, and .to the general intetests of the
Officers of His,Majesty's Navy concerned in Price
Causes. lie complained of his interest brine, ne-
gleEted, and of the Prodor's Bilt being enottn ms,
lie proceeded to state all the proceedings he had at
the Shakespeare AO other Taverns, where a Meets
ing was 'convened by him of great rioniber of the
.Officers of His istijestrs Navy concerned in Prize
Causes—which ended to a. Memorial; the Memo,
Hai in question : and he observed, that atter it was
drawn, the Officers most unaccountably deserted
him, and left him to present his Memorial alone.
He knew not how it was, but men who wonhl Fee
the foe with pleasure, mulct not face' the Lords of
'this Admiraliy. However he did piesent the 'Me.
morial, and it was his oiijea to have it laid before
the H6use. He then proceeded to read the Me-
morial.
The CHAsiesiioa of the Excasquatt spoke
to Order, and contended that the Koh. Member
was irregular in reading to the House the very
Docurneor upon which it was a question whether
the House ,would hear it or not.
Mr. 11011.41ZD thought the lion. Member,
ought to be heard oor, and to_ be allowed to.read
the whole Memorial as part of his speech. Upon
which a short-conversation ensued, which was sup.
ported by Mr, po smoa:s 'arid the CHANC L
of the EXCHEOEit on one side,, and Mi. KIN.
NA ER LI anti Capt. COCIIRANr on the other, which
ended in thestittkar., deciding that the lion.
MeMber was riot regular in:reading that on which
there was a 'question whether it should be laid.bes
fore the House ,or'not.
cap, COCIIRANg then proceeded to atato
some of the heads of .the chargesin the Memorial,
for the purpose of enforcing his argument upon the
e ropiietSi•ofthe louse entering opoo an inquiry
into this matter..
Mr. 70.1INSTQNg thought that the.l.ion. Mem.
leer had brought forth Charges which ought to be
inquired into, and that whether they were' Well or
ill founded, they made a sparliamentary ground fOr
the produCiion of the ;documents in question,
Dr‘ LAIrRENCE -allowed the Motives of the
galfine Officer to, be pure, but maintained thatsthe
soject of his complaint' was founded on an entire
Want of knowledge of the nature of. the- legal pro.-
ceesiings in which he bad been engaged ; these
charges were
_brought forward in cite absence of
knowledge of lhe true interest Of the gallant Officer
himself; this he undertook to aver from his own
immediate and personal knowledge. He defended
all the Officers of Dodors' CoIIIETICIS, who bad been
alluded to by the Gallant Officer, • and assured the.
House they had always concluded themselves in a
way that did them honour. He then wept over all
the:charges broUght forward-by time Gallant Officer,
and said they were entirely without foundation, for
that he knew peofessionally all the circumstances of
the case of the Gallant Officer. He a`iletigeti that the
charges in the Bill wire more moderate than the
saute bussiness would have been charged or zu ys,„,
te6o ; ;Md. es to every Officer heieg to
isoylds own Praetor., in Prizes Causes, it most he
observed, that auch.proceeding Would interfere with.
the Presogative of the Crowns...-a prerogative Hof:
greet vel4. to Hit Mejesty's.aubjeos, siits:e the ma_

nagement of matters of prixes were often intimately
connefled with the afEtirs of Foreign Nations, and
the question of Peaceor War.
Sir W. SCOTT spoke on the same side, with
great elhonc.e and perspicuity ;—he defended the
Gentlemen of the Commons most ably, anti as-
sured the House that the. causes of the Gallant

ofTwer, were all of them conduaed as well as
it was possible? by-Mr. Heseltine the Kings Proc.
tor, notwithstanding a gentleman in partnership
with. him, had sometimes been concerned on the

other side ; however, that was a make which was
unseemly, and therefore lie had caused it Lobe discoo.
• tinued.7—With regard to the costs, he believed them
to be as moderate as could have been expefted, but if
e they had been otherwise, they might have been
taxed as in °O'er Courts : many of the causes of the

Gallant Meer had. been conduiledAtuder, the direc,
lion of Doctor Wyt.tt,rv, whose integrity was be-
yond question, and whose opinion was Law itself
to every prudent Client. The learned Civilian
thought that, the Public have a very valuable pro-
perty in the charadets of men of this high rank in
their profeasion, and therefore it was proper they
should receive praise when any attempt was made
to censure them. He thought the Gallant Officer
misguided in this case, and he reminded him of a
maxim Ity which it was said, that when-a man be-
comes his own Lawyer, he has not always the most
prudent Client.
Sir ST4PIIEN LuninvoTaN being very in-
firm, was indulged ,tO speak sitting. He gave an
ample account of his Partnership with Mr. Hesel.:
tine, and justified the Condud—of the House in
every particular which came ~to ,his knowledge,
not pretending to be personally acquainted with.
every minute particular, becau3e his-concerns as
Chairman at the India House, and Diredor of the
East India Company's affairs, having taken up a
great portion of his time, but he knew that the
Condud of the King's Prodor in Prize Causes, was
under the guidance of the King's Advocate.—He
assured the... House, upon his Honour, .he believed
every part of the business alluded to, was transacted
with perfcet fidelity and honour.
Captain CoCHßANE'explailled.
Mr. HURST said, there certainly was a time,
as appeared from the statement which• had been
made, when there was a goo 4 cause of complaint,
but that ground had been done away, therefore
he should oppose the Papers being laid upon the

Colonel BASTARD said, if the Hon. Member who
had brought forward this question could substantiate,
the faCts which he had stated, as' he hid no doubt
he could, he thought there' would he good. ground
for an Address to I,lis M.►jesty to remove the King's
Proaur, f►r he never heard a More gross rase than
for two partners to be employed on different sides of
the same cause. There was a general diss►►tisfattion
in the Navy upon this subject, and some time ago
several Officers in the Navy brought him a Me.
morial to present to the House upon the subk:a ;
he, however, did not think they were likely to
obtain redre,s, and dissuaded therairom the mea.
sure.

The ADVOCATE GENERAL replied at some
length to the Hon. Gentleman who bad brought for.
ward the subjeCt, and went into a detail respeCting
some of the Prize Causes, to shew that there was
no grotind for the complaint which had been made.
He admitted that two partners being employed on
different sides of the same Cause was an unseemly
thing, but added, 'that there was no ground for any
complaint upon that subjett.
- Capt. HERVEY said, the Navy were fully sen.
Bible of the' kindness and benevolence of His Ma.
jearY to them in regard to prize,money, -but when
a good thing was given to a profession, it was
natural for them to be anxious to get it in as cheap
and expeditious a manner as possible he therefore
contended that it Was but fair that Naval Officers
should be allowed to defend their own interests by
their own froCtors. He thought these papers ought
to be produced, and to be raterred to the Commis.
sioners for Nval Inquiry now sitting.
The CHANCELLOR of 'ihe EXCHEQUER`
_
replied, that these Commissioners had no cognizance
o"er Prize Causes, but only over Prize Agents.
Mi.. WILBERFORCE said, that upon a grave
and serious subjeet like the present, he thought
there was ground laid for producing the Papers,
thOugh. he 'did not concur, with the Hon. Member
who brought forward the subjeft- upon .all the
points.
' 11lr, HUTCHINSON said, he thought, that the
'Captors ought certAnly to be allowed- to employ
their own Agents.tdalefend their own intere:lts.
Afrer a few words from Mr. ALOtXANDER and
.Sir W. GVARV, the Motion of the Cstarrett.Lort
of the Excittiatr ER, for
,discharging the Order, was
agreed to.
The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER

tisieration the Lords' Amendments to the Clergy •

The SPEAKER stated what was the practice of

propriety of moving .to take Amendments into

was agreed to nem. eln.—Sir W. SCOTT then moved

on the same subjed.
The Order of the Day for the third reading of
the Additional Excise Duty Bill being read,
Mr. MTN:HINSON rose to call the attention of
the House. to the Effect which this Bill would have
upon theAtt of Unioo,abe 6th Article Of which stated
the Subjeds Of the two Count riesibotild he placed. Up.
on the same footing with regard to Duties, tic. Now
it was not 'proposed by this Bill to tax the stock of
Spirits which was on hand in this Country, but all
Spirits-which might be imported from Ireland after

the consequence of which -would. be, that as long' as
rite stock on hand in -this. Country lasted, the. Irish
,Importer would be under this disadvantage, that
the Spirits-he imported into this Country would pay
the new Day, and the British '.Distiller would have
SroCk :.yo hand to dispose of,': which had not paid
'the new •Dutv, which wota give a grceat f,dvan.

chose to export any of his present Stock on hand to
....Ireland, he would lae entitled to a drawback, wdt
hi
would enable him to undersell the Irish Distiller in
his own market; this he considered as incousistent
with the Aft of Union.. • .

when the duty ceased, the stock: on hand in Great
