CLIMBING BOYS: •
• Mr. BENNET having moved that • the •lihiamey Sweepers'
_Bill b.. rcad a third time,

Sir J. YORKE rose to oppose the' mong9„ It had bing
'been a matter of doubtful curiosity which was the greatest
tvil, a smoky chinimy or a scolding wife.—(Laughter.)-.-As.
the House was so full this night, the question had a fair.
chance of being decided. He claimed as mod' humanity as.
the Honourable Anthor of the Bill, and bad it exlended only
.to protect children front ill-treatment would baye given it
his support ; but he strongly objected, to giving tip so ancient.
a trade entire'y. If such Legislators continued their present
-course, the lit.ose would.soon he compelled to restrain their.
feelings, and legislate against the propagation of the human.
species. With respect to machines, if they were really ef.-
-fective, they woolo find their way.wittttit the assistance of a'
Bill like the present.; and wheinever.the .public should con-
.ceive it their interest,, they would use theta instead of boys.'
He then contended, that in the opinion of several Fire Offices
themselves, machines were 'neither perfectly effectual nor
-sate. Persons were required to go to the,mitside of the roofs
to assist in their operation, the tiles or slates were broken.
and displaced, an opportunity was afforded for stealing the

_than it became necessary to call in the plasterer, glazier,
and plumber, to repair the damages. Ile protested against
'potting so many boys in a situation to starve, 'or to do some-
thing worse, and concluded by moving that the,Bill be read
, this day three months. . ,
Mr. OMNIA:SE NY. seconded the motion. He held a
'paper, which showed that-instead of approving of the plan of
machinery, as it had been asserted, keveral Fire Offices had.
entered into a subscription, to the amount of 1201. for the t
purpose of sopptesiing the present Bill. As to the children
themselves, -they were not those of the poor, but of the
,rich, begotten in ati improper manner.—(A laugh.)
Mr. BENNET acknowledged that it was t rne such a sub-
' seription hid been entered into by seteral Fire Offices, but
,d of wishing to get rid of the measure, their object had
been to procure a proper investigation. With respect to the
other point, if it was true that it was on the natural child-
ren of the rich the calamity fell, they were still More unpro-
tected, and still more entitled to the interference of the

Mr. WILSON admitted the correctness of the vxplana-
`tint] given by the Hon. Gentleman of the reasons for which
the Fire Offices hail entered into a subscription ; but he
ought to 1141,1 f added, that they considered the matter a dan •
t emus experiment.'
Mr. BENNET'owned that some individuals bad certainly
given it as their opinion that the question was one of risk •;

PUBLIC CHARITIES.
Mr. BROUGH having understood that the Right Hon.
Member tor Liverpool hail given, early in the Session, a notice
for the Noble Lor I opposite, of his intention to bring in a Bill
to extend the po'ver granted by the Act of the last Session to
Conrinissioners appointed to inquire into the abuses of Politic
Schools and Charities, wished to know when the motion was
likely to take Wu- ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH answered, that his only reason for
delaying his motion had been a wish that the Ilon,ie should
take the question into consideration when the Report of the
Commissioners appointed last year should have been received.
It was in such a slate of forwardness that it would probably
be laid before the House at the end of the present week, or
the beginning of the next. The subject would then he better
understood.
Mr. BROUGHAM considered the information satisfactory.
I 1 is reason for putting the ipiestion was, t hat his contseslmuld
'depend on that which the Noble Lord might take.
STATE OF PRISONS.

Mr. BUXTON wished to know whether the Noble Lord
would have ally oltjectitto to postpone his in ,tine respecting'
the State of Prisuns, till that of an Hon. friend of Ids (Sir
J. Nlackintosh's), on the Criminal Code, should have been
disposed of ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH should be happy to comply with-
the wishes of the Right I-lon. Geotietnati who bail considered
the stNect 3a deeply, lint he felt nowilling to postpone his
snot 100. as he considered it of a more cittuprehensive nature
than that of rite Hon.
WINIYiOII ESTA3LISH:IT ENT.

On the mo.ion of Lord CNSTLER,RAGH, the
House reeidved itself into a Committee of Supply
on the lViudsor Establishment. His Lmdship
he ti moved. " That the Report of the Select
Comt»ittee on the said Establishment he taken
into consideration," which being agreed to,
Lord CViTLERF.AOII fuse.--Ile thought he should
better consult the feeling, nt the House, it he nos
opened the whole subject, instead of proceeding
by the introduction of a Bill. Ile should there-
fore propose several distinct Resolutions, on
'whieit the Commi.tee would have to decide, end,
it agreed to, tin' Chairman would then he directed
to move for lease to bring in te Bid to carry them
into effect. The first Resolution would merely
relate to the question diet the amontit of the
Windsor I.:srililisliment he reduced frotn 100.0001.
to 50,0001.,a-year. The eectted wot lei involve
the eleoges for annuities to the Queen's servants,
ro the amount recommenited by the Committee.
The thirtrwoted apply to the appointment of the
Duke of Yolk, as ('ustos Personce. The fourth,
to the payment of 10,0001. a-year to his Royal
Higheess in that capacity, out of the Civil List.
The filth would go to make , a limited change in
the enactments of the Act of 1812, resp.cting the
mode of superannuating the King's servants, as
the new transaction would throw a great number
of them out of employment. The lase would
only involve Exchequer regulations concerning
the issue of the 50,00U1. per annum for the Wind-
sor Establishmente •and 58,0001. for -the other
objects which had been cumin-rated. In the ex-
pl,aimationk which he should offer to the House, he
should follow the order of the Resolutions. The
first he considered as the stun and substaneeot the
whole, that • a suitable piovision should be made
for the support of his Majesty. The labours of the
Committee would enable him to abridge what be
had.to say on that subject, and would thus re-
lieve him from a considerable difficult y, be.
cause it would vow come before the House with
the authority of the Repots before them, that the
grant of fiey thousand pounds a-year was a suit-
able sum for time maintenance of his Majesty. No
difference of opinion had prevailed in the.COM-
mittee on the sehject. But there was a general
concurrence of opinion, not only that it was rea-
sonable, but that all the details had been fairly
considered, and the expenditure regulated with
a due attention to economy. The only difference
which had arisen, had been VS-ith regard to a
point of little comparative importance- 1-1 e meant
(141161111)er of Equerries which should he retain-
ed, whether four or six, and he should conform
to the opinion of the Committee, and propose
only lour, as had been settled by the Bill, of Mr.
Botke. The sum of 50,0001. a-year had, at first,
struck the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite as too
large, but now, he trusted, that Right Hon.
Gentleman was satisfied that it Was no more titan
time necessities of the case et (piked. Fos .if one-
third of it was deflected fOr the expences reqnired
to maintain Windsor Castle on the footing of a
Royal Palace, and another third for the servants
employed, what would 'tern tin for the ex pences
of the Household'woeld'lMiot exceed.l6,oool. He
did not think that a ore economical. arrange-
ment could have been concluded. IVith respect
to die second resoltoion for Making a suitable
provision fair time servants of her late Mejesty,
whet) he had originally introduced the subject,
he had_stated thaehe wished as much as possible
to frame his measure according to the precedents
of former times, for ie was a great relief to find
them for a guidance, It was at the same time
impossible not to presume- and be confident that
eheiodividuals who hadeneeted time Royal.flowee-
hold feed dune it not merely with a view to the
saftmeies which they received, but to the ultimate
provision which was held out to them by those
precedents. There was -another point also which
etkitled them to consideration. There was a
strong ,indisposition in families to receive .any
persons who had belonged to the Royal House-
hold, from an apprehension that they most have
contracted habits which it would be difficult toCons

ciliate with a lower sitnation. If precedents on the
point were required, those of the Dowager Prin.
cess of Wales, and even of Queen Mary, might he
quoted; hut P.lrliament would exercise their judg-
ment upon them, and take an economical view of
the question. The course which the Committee
had t.aken, was to propose, as a remuneration for
the servants of her Majesty, the continuation of
their salaries, especially to the female attendants.
With'yespect to the °dicers of State belonging to
the Establisament, the ancient precedents had not
been followed. The superannuation was to be
withholden from then!, which would occasion a

diminution of seven thousand pounds, and reduce
the amount of the snperannuations to a stun be-
twein 18 and 19,0001. This sum was smaller
than that granted to the servants of the Princess
Dowager of Wale% and Queen Caroline. and
the same as that which the servants of Queen

Anne had received, though there was stick
a difference in the value of money. The Third
Resolution be should combine with the Fourth,
as tt was to the latter he understood the at-

tention of the House would be principaLy drawn,
and it was I•bely to receive an amendment from
the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, Kith respect

tO the principle which ought to regulate the
management Of his Majesty's privy purse. lie
should propose to follow strictly the precedcnt.ot
1812, and that the Custos should undergo no fil-
let...6on in hii eMolllMelli*lAlly 1114ofe than ill Ilk
duties. The Right Hon. Gentleman had intimat-
ed an intention to propose that the provision for
the Custos should be taken oiit of the Privy Purse
instead of the Civil List. lint in -every view
which that Right Hon, Member might take of
the question, to touch that fund as -if it were a
public fond,• los trusted it would be proved that
lie was indefensible by law. He (Lord Castle-
reagh) undertook this task on no other ground
than that of principle, for be had understood that
the question would be raised, not as to
the amount of the sum, but the fond out of
which it was to be drawn. On the principle of
the appointment hself, all could but be agreed.
It was of the highest importance that a dilly so
eminently poblic shorill be set op in strong con-
tradistinction to any appoint inent of an interior
nature. The only question, therefore, must be,
whether the money should he taken out of the
Civil List or the Privy Purse. Jr was impossible
to conceive how touch greater difficulty there was
in obtaining from the House any grant for a
Member of the Royal F,rtnily, than for any other
individual to whom the same. idea (.f Crown pa-
tronage would nut he attached. Never had a
coos se more tempting for a Mosister to pursue

suggestions of the other side of cite House. In

but the consciousness of having taken an illegal

vidual. It had enabled him to bold property of

he bad considered two or three charges as so en-

he had since abandoned the idea, lest lie should

violability of that fund No charge could be made
upon it, without a departure trout the compact
entered into with the Crown, whatever might be
done by the Court of Equity. in the ea,.e of aprt-
vate lunatic. And should he propose to guard
the sacred person of our afflicted Sovereign as
that of a private imlividual,. he knew a letting
world rise in the 1-104se • whiCh would spurn at
so monstrous a proposition. Although little
hope of his recovery remained, let him be. sur-
rounded with such a state as would show that no-
thing could deprive him of the love and veneration
of his people. huthe case of a private person it would
be a matter of course to defray all the expences of
his attendance and support out of his own proper-
ty. But was that the course which Roliament
ought to pursue towards the King If it were,
he would place his foot on the Report of the Com-
mittee. It had been the practice of Parliament
at all former reigns to allow certain new classes
of duties to increase the revenue of the Sove-

- •
reign. If those had been applied to ihe service of
his Majesty, he would now have an income of
two millions, or at least far more than wool►l

cover the amount of the Civil List. But the
Sovereign had given up those productive sources
Of revenue to the public, for a sett led considera-

Lion. . All the services charged on that fund were
performed on public grounds and by public of-
ficers. Ought they therefore to' he Betrayed out

the Civil List should undergo some modifictitioti,
as in 1812. He even now proposed one of a

tnilar nature, but he maintained that his Majesty
had rights which were still as sacred as those by
which he held the Throne of these realms, and
wade him no less our Sovereign because lie w.,s
in his Present unfortunate situation. If the rea•

50119 which be had adduced ou tirat subject were
not conclusive. he trusted the practice' of Parlia-
ment would prove so. With respect to the

more exclnskely oublic character If he wer,
asked what was the Officer in whom the con-
_

fidence of the people should be most firmly
placed; he would say, that pvrson who was to

,ttr. "iddy which so grievously affilasted htmt
' said it W 43 reasonable that the Privy

Purse should be placed. in the, stare in which., it
'was anterior to the attack of the disorder. Would
tl►e Noble Lord explain 'why provision was regr►i-
site it the Privy Poise was to continue, during

cessary The L,gislatnre then interfered, and
ordered that the Privy Purse should he placed i❑
the state in which he had left it ; and that no other
charges should be laid ot► it, than what he him-
self hail laid. Then 'came the sad tidings of the
confirmation of his Majesty's malady, and then
Parliament ►vas r•r quir,d to regulate anew the
Privy Purse. Then the Act of the 52d Geo.
passed, amending and altering the former. Three
Commissioners were appointed, it, whose hands his
Majesty's property was vested, with which Parlia-
ment had no ri:•.ht to interfere. Each of these Com-
missioners took an oath, not to disclose any thing
respecting his Majesty's property, but as far as
might be required for it.; defence. If even the
Speaker or the Chairman were to send a warrant
for them and examine than, they were bound to
answer, that they could say nothing at all about
the matter. This property, under tire Act of the
39tH and 40th, was not amenable to any juris-
diction. Bin tire privy purse was of a different
species. Units r one of the Acts, an aoninal.sum
of 15.0001. and another of 4,2001, quarterly was
regulated to be paid. 'Jut' Act of the 52d, looking,
hack to tine 51st, sets apart the annual sum of
8,5001. anda quarterly payment of 4,9001. which,
with other regulations, raised it to the sum of
35,0001. per annum. In three regulations the
steps of his Majesty were followed. It is now
found burdensome to the cotintry, and a contraction
of the expellee is required. In the early part of his
Majesty's disorder, Physicians wet e requisite,
and were in daily attendance, because their pre-
'sence might he productive of beneficial results.
But was their attendance now required as for-
merly ? It was required that Parliament should
make provision for all these expel-lees, and was it
not re,sonahle that they sincuid be paid out of the
privy .purse ? The Hon. Member het e read part of
the Act et. the year 1812, an commented at great
length upon it closely did the Parliament
follow this privy purse, as a matter over which it
had dominion, that if-the Commissioners should
exceed the law respecting the privy purse, they
would I►ave been,liable to refund. But, says the
Noble Lord, it you look to the last Act on this
subject, yOu will see that we have no power over
tire privy purse. So tar was this from being so,
the Parliament meant, that where a reasonable
growl(' exists lot ti►e application of money
from 'the privy purse for the benefit of his
Majesty, such application should be Made.
Lung as would be the remembrance of his
Majesty's Virtues, so long should they be
anxious to give him all possible means of enjoying
Happiness. It was not his ►+ish to applythe Privy
Purse to the Windsor Establishment ; but he
merely meant to say, that in recompence for the
liberality of Pittlianient4: he hoped that his MA-
jest), would not accumulate money for God knows
whom. 'When the Act of the 39th and 40th of
his Majesty's reign was brought into the House,
be thought' it :somewhat unconstitutional, and if
the Noble Lord's reasoning respecting the Privy
Purse of his Majesty was correct, the second Privy
Purse belonged equally to the Prince Regent, be-
Caine he acted•. in the .name and on the behalf of.
the King. ,What he asked was, that suppose Par-
shouhl thick fit to vote bis Royal High-
ness the 10-,0001., that it should be provided for
from• the Privy Purse.'• The Noble Lord -bad
asked whom could we get to be the.custos of his
:Majesty's sacred person, it nut the Royal Duke ?
To this lie should ;answer, wiry not a Court of
Equity ? If we are of opinion that the Privy
Purse• of his Majesty should in that case
meet the expenses, he had gained his object, and
should say no more. He wished to know whether
this point was conceded or not ?—As it was not
conceded he should beg leave to propose, that
50,0001. should be applied for the Establishment
of his Majesty's future household at Windsor, anti
that the _surplus arising from the Duchy of Lan-
caster, and also that the_ 60,0001. should, after
paying such sums as were fairly chargeable upon
it, be appliedTo- the payment' of the further cx-
pences which ,would be incurred in consequence
of appointing a new custos. The character of the
new Parliament would be very mina proved by
their conduct on this occasion. Where the sum
of 10,00014 could be saved to the country it was
their duty to-take every just oppTlunity of con-
solting the burthens of the people., if he could
chew that thisthight fairly be done on ti►e pre-
sent occasion he would leave others to decide.
where the charge of infamy should be retorted.
He could well believe that the Noble Lord had
never undertaken any buiiness more
Iq ; he mint, also think that if be had been, left
to the exercise of his own good sound discretion
he would never have brought it forward. He
might likewise arid, that be thought the Noble
Duke, whom he sincerely loved, was to be pitied
for the difficulty into which Ministers had brought.
him. It was to be recollected that the Royal
Duke was almost the only Prince of the Royal
Family who had as yet escaped frinn the disgeace
attached to the measures which had been brongbt
forward by Ministers last year and: at other times
respecting them. Did the Noble Lord suppose
that the Royal Family Caine out of these contests
as easily as the'.movers and promoters of them?—
He believed that the Royal Duke would prefer not
to accept of any thing, rather than to face the
discussion.- Did .the House know what had
already been granted ? The savings on the Privy
Purse front 1810 amounted to 57,0001. His
Royal Highness the Prince Regent had obtained
140,0001. for the payment of his debts, in addi-
tion to. 62,0001., 40,0001. of which arose from
the Ducl►y of Cornwall. Besides these sums,
there was Ei surplus of 10,0001. at his disposal.,—
He knew that Ire was Warm, but when the Noble
Lord came out with his rant, he could not refrain
from treating ►he subject as be had done. The
Hon. Gentleman concluded by declaring that be
believed this to be one of the most interesting
questions which had come before the House for a
long time.

The original motion and amendment having
been read,
Mr. PEEL said, he was aware of the disadvan-
tage to which he' exposed himself in following
the Right Honourable Gent(than, yet he was

anxiotos thus early to address to the I-louse a few
observations before their attention was exhausted.
Not withstanding the speech of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, he (Mr. Peel) still retained the same
opinion upon this question with which he had
come down to the House. From the time when
the Right Hon. Gentleman had given notice of
the nature of the proposition which he intended
to submit to the House, there was but one opi-
nion which he could bring himself to entertain et
it, so far as concerned the tenure of the property
with which it went to interfere. So far as re-
lated to the right tf property it was a flagrant
violation of justice.--(Hear !)—So far as it con-
cerned the feelings of any Member of .the Royal
Family, it s indelicate—(hear, hear !)—and
so far as regarded the public interest, it was no
More than a monstrons violation of public prin.
ciple,iunredeemed and uncompensated by the sor-
did advantage proposed.—(f-Tear, hear, hear !)
In discussing the ques'ion, however, he thought
i! unnecessary to inlist on his side of the argu-
ment that which might be drawn front the rank
of the Sovereign, and affectiou to his person. He
was prepared, leaving these topics untouched, to
treat the question temperately and dispassionately
on its own merits, confining himself to that part
of the question which went to the appropriation
of the surplus of.the privy purse for the expellees
of the Custos. The Right lion. Gentleman, All
the conduct of his argument, had thought it ma-
terial to consider what was the Privy Purse. In
his recapitulation of the valious Acts of Parii,i-
nirlit. opon the subject, he understood the Right
Hon. Gentlemen to say that the Act of the 39th
and 40th of the King was the earliest in which
there was any mention of the Privy Purse—that in
this Act nothing was sate] as to the amount of the
Privy Purse, and that it was not till the Act
of the 51st that any mention was made of the
precise amount. Now this, lie maintained, was
a completely erroneous statement of the facts.
Was there not an allocation of the 'SsIITI) for
the Privy Purse before the Act of the 39th and
40 ? If there was, and if it had been recog-
nized by Parliatnent, the Right Honourable
Gentleman's argument must fail. If there was a
distinct recognition by Parliament of the. right to
appropriate 60,00 W. for the Privy Purse before
the Act of the 39th and 40th, then that Act must
be considered as putting the Crown in full pos-
session or a right to that sum ; and if so, any at-
tempt to interfere with it now was a gross vio-
lation of the right and principles of property. On
these premises he founded his argument. Now
the tact was, that between the Act of the Ist and
the 39th and 40111, an Act was passed in which
there was a distinct mention of the Privy Pulse.
—lt was an Act which directed that certain esti-
mates should be made out for the appropriation
of the whole sum at the disposal of the Crown,
and that when they were so- made out, they
should be submitted for the approbation of Par-
liament. Pursuant to this Act estimates were
made out—one was for the sum of 60,0001. as the
Privy Purse, and it received the sanction of Par-
liainvnt ; this was decisive. Therefore, in 1782,
there was a direct recognition by Parliament of
the amount of the Privy Purse. Mr. Peel then
drew the attention of the Committee to Mr. Pitt's
Bill in the year 1788 'or 1789, when a •regency
was in contemplation. He_made a pat ticular re-
ference to the clause in which a provision was
made for what was considered his Majesty's pri-
vate property, by an exception iii favour of the
renewal of leases, &c. Provision was also made
for any surplus which might arise in trust for his
Majesty. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Tierney)
had remarked, that if the money arising front the
Privy Purse had been diverted from its supposed
definitive ohject in one instance, why not in more?
—lf the medical attendants were at any time paid
out of it, why not apply it to defray the 10,0001.
for the Custos ? But the Hon. Gentleman would
please to recollect that such a misapplication of
it would be the violation of an Act of Parlia-
ment. If, says the Hon. Gentleman, you charged
the Privy Purse sometimes with the medical at-
tendants prior to the Act of 1812, why not charge
it also with the 10,0001. for the Custos in 1819 ?
The Hon. Gentleman stated that he had already
noticed that such a misapplication of the Privy
Purse would he a violation of the Act of Parlia-
ment. The Hon. Member might as well ask why
not have charged the Privy Purse with the
10,0001. grantedlo the Queen in 1812,-when Mr.
Perceval brought forward his propositions re-
specting the Windsor Establishment. He had
recommended the appointment of a Secret Com-
mittee to inquire into the state of the Privy
Purse, and to report thereon. 130 t when that
question was under the consideration of the
House, two Gentlemen, then MeMbers of that
House (Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Adam), although
always voting with Opposition, reprobated the
appointment of any such Committee, affirming,
that on so delicate' a subject they could not, on
their parts, permit any inquiry of the nature then
suggested. The one was a Gentleman deservedly
esteemed by the Honourable Member (Mr, Tier-
ney) and his friends ; and the other bad long been
the'admiration of every one for the uncommon
brilliancy of his talents; and wonderful powers of
eloquence. It' was to be hoped, therefore, that
the Gentlemen on the opposite side would show
their regard for such respectable authorities by
voting for the original motion. The Royal Doke
(York) was about to be invested with an office of
the highest importance, iu addition to that which

he now held, and the duties of which he had so

laudably discharged. But if Gentlemen were ap-
prehensive that his Royal Highness would have too

great power and authority, i hey ought to remember
that Parliament had not left him alone in the exer-

cise of his new fouctforis ; they had granted hint
a Council, with whom his Royal Highness
would always advise. The Privy Purse was plc,-
tected as the King's
,private property by several
Acts of Parliament. If it had been thought ex-
pedient to grant the sum of 60,0001. for the Privy
Purse, he saw no solid reason for its reduction.
If Parliament chose, in its legislative capacity,
to order that any surplus of
,the 60,0001. atter de-
fraying the usual appropriations, should be in-
vested in the hands of Commissioners, to acco-
initiate as his Majesty's privoe property, that
surely ougl.t to be a sufficient protection for
it ; and any surplus could not be diverted into
another chauuel without a violation of the Act

of Parliament. In addicion to the 60,0001. there
was an equally good authority for the 10,0001.
arising from the Duchy of Lancaster. Loth
tunds, amounting to 70,0001. were then pri-
vate property to the King, assigned for his own
uncontrouled disposal. It the Gentlemen on
the other side assumed to themselves the power
of diverting par: of the Privy Purse to purposes
foreign to the meaning of the Acts of Parliament,
then they might with equal authority order a trans-
fer of tne money arising from the Duchy of Lan-
caster to defray the salary i►►tended for the Custos.
The Hon. Member, in elucidating the subject of
the Duchy of Lancaster, made references as far
back as to the time of Edward I V. when it was dis-
tioguished as belonging to the Ci own. He exposed
the absurdity, besides injustice, of the Gentlemen
on the opposite side of the House. They ad-
mitted the power of Parliament. to legislate
for tl►e protection of private property, but
would not allow such a protection for his Ma-
jesty. 'lt was hard, indeed, that the King should
he the only man in his domioions who could not
n►aiotain his rights, although assigned to him for
his sole use by various Acts of Parliament. It
would be a curious anomaly to find it described—.
" That whereas his Majesty's faithful Commons,
for the purpose of supporting the Royal Dignity,
had resolved to grant a certain sum during his
Majesty's lire, now think it necessary to reduce
the same." God forbid (exclaimed the Hon.
Member) that our beloved Sovereign, when re-
covering from his indisposition, should discover
that a proposition of the nature now before tlie
House had been agitated in Parliament.—(Hear !)
Mr. BANKS supported the Amendment. Al,
though he confessed himself against the spolia-
tion of all private property, yet he did not view
the question in the same manner as his Noble
Friend (Castlereagh), or the Hon. Member %%Thu
ha►d just sat down, IVith regard to the appro-
priation of the privy purse, he saw no difference
between the Medical Attendants and the Custos. •
It it could be diverted in one instance, why not in
another The last Hon. Member thought that he
had formed a very triumphant argument when be
drew his distinction between the medical at-
tendants and the Custos ; and alleged, that
as the Glace') had the allowance of 10,0001. a
year, the Duke of York ought to have the saute,
He bestowed many encomiums on her late
Mijesty ; but saw no reason why she had
such a sum allowed to her. With respect to the
question now before them, he declared himself to
be of the same opinion wits► the Hon. Gentle-
man (Mr. Tierney) who had moved the Amend,

ment. At all events, the sum proposed was too
much. • Buc he hoped the vote of that night woul►L
put the affair to rest.' These were not times for

enlarging our expenditure. The, pressure of the
times was too heavy on the people not to render
economy necessary in every department of the
State. He wished the Noble Lord (Castlereagh)
would withdraw his motion. If he (Mr. Banks)
rightly recollected, the Noble Lord was of a dit-.
terent opinion about a week ago.
Mr. PEEL explained.
Mr. WZLMOT considered the prevnt not a cries•
tion of policy, but a question of common law. It.
was not whether we should give the King this or
that sum, but whether we should grant to his
Royal Highness the Duke of York the same sa-
lary that was granted to her Majesty when she
officiated as Custos. The Hon. M,mher professed
his independence; stated that lie belonged to no
party, but that he thought it his duty to give his
vote in favour of the measure. lie was a stre-
nuous friend to economy; but while, on the one
hand, he was anxious for the relief of the coun-

ry, lie was on the other equally anxious that
here should be no violation of the faith of Par-

Iment:

Mr. B. MARTIN (Member for Galway) said, it
was his intention to vote for the solid, substan-
tial' sum of 10,0001. a year.—(A laugh.) —lle
was sure there was not one of his Constituents
who would not thank him for such a vote. 1(
thislnestion was deprived of the radiance whirls
PArty lent to it, and were discussed at the West-
minster hustings, he was sure the voice of the
people would be in favour of the Grarit.—(Loud
laughter.)

Mr. PROTHEROE said, be eras of opinion that
the arguments used on the other side of the
House ►sere weak in the extreme, inasmuch as

they did not take into consideration the peculiar
state of the Country at present. He opposed -the
Grant..

Mr, HtTsmssoN said, be bad listened with •the
greatest impartiality to every argument that was
admiced in opposition to the speech of his Right
Honourable Friend (Mr. Peel), but he bad heard

nothing that at all weakened the strength of his
position The House were bound to weigh with
a peculiar feeling the temporary advantage that
might be gained with the hazard of interfering
legislatively with the, security of private rights.
‘Vhen the disposition of the classes of the Civil
List was settled by Parliament, and the Grant of
60,0001. was made to the Crown, that sum was
at the same time well understood to be at his
Majesty's own disposal. Were it probable that
his Lthjesty should be restored to his health,
would any man deny that the Duchy of Lancaster
and the Privy Purse must return unembarrassed
to his Majesty's sole controul ? The office to

which his Royal Highness was appointed was
next to that of the Regent ; and it ought to be
recollected, that though our venerable Sovereiga
was in a state of exclusion, in consequence of his
lamented and long-continued indisposition, let
Gentlemen consider how' they would act in the
case of private friends, and let them say whether,
in a public point of view, they would neglect that
duty which they would discharge to a private in-
dividual.—(Hear, hear, hear !)
Mr. Hume spoke in favour of the amendment,
amidst repeated calls for the question.
Lord COMPTON was a friend to economy, where
economy Vt as legal and practicable.. The legality
of eneruaching upon the privy purse, was, at least,
doubtful ; and the Howe he was sure would never
interfere with their good old Sovereign (whom
all admired and loved), about a few ihoustiod
pounds.

MANSFIELD deemed 'economy indiipensible
row Ihe prtssure of 411 e limes, and should theie-

ire vote Itir the Amendment.

111 r. WlLioN,though be—would never be in•

Puenced by popular clamour, said the proposed
Amendment ,should have his support.
Mr. Alderman "AITHMAN said, he could not
help expressing his indil;t.ation at hearing that
his Royal Highness the Duke of York was willing
to take money from the pockets of an impo-
verished people, instead of the Privy Purse.
The SOLICTToR-GENVSIAL hoped to satisfy the
House that the grant was reasonable, ard otight
to be paid out of the public money The ques-
tint, was, uhether, by touching the Privy Purse.
they should not interfere with property which
was sectirrd to the Sovereign by recognised legis-
lative enactments. This, he was persuaded, mnst-
he the rase should the sutri proposed be taken
from the Privy Purse; as this, together with the
Dnehy of Latteas,er, were to all intents and nor-
p•tsvii private property, and did not in any respect
appertak to the public. Mr. Burke's celebrated
speech on Economical Reform maintained, that
the Royal Family and the Privy Purse oncht to
he provid, d for out of the Civil List. In 1786,
the 60 OM a year, or Pt ivy Purse. waskuuder-
stood to he at the free at,tl oncontrolled disposal
of his MapAtv; and therefore he applied a part
of it to the purchase of lands and to oilier pur-
poses. Such heing the fact, the Right How, Geo-
tlematt, before lie could do away the right of pri-
vate appropriation, must get the legislative enact-
ments rept sled which sanctioned it ; nor did that
riAtt apply only to past savings, but also to any
ftsiore accumolations.
