IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(TIH EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Marquis of TWEEDALE presented a peti-
tition from the County of Roxburgh, against the
importation of Foreign Wool.
The Packet Vessels' Licensing Bill, and the
Ale-houses Licensing Bill, were read a third time.
The Elections Polls Bill, was read a second time.
The House went into a Committee on the Irish
and Scotch Small Notes Bill.
The Earl of CARNARVON said that the Bill
would produce great inconvenience, unless drafts
under 51. were exempted from its operation. As
the clause at present stood, it applied not only to
bank notes, but to drafts on bankers, so that a
Scotch gentleman sending up to London a draft to
his tradesmen, would render himself liable to a pe-
nalty, and the tradesman attempting to negotiate it,
could be also punished ; the Bill, therefore, as in the
case of all laws, intended to restrain actions not
stamped with moral guilt, would merely prove a
trap to the innocent and unwary.
The Duke of WELLINGTON assured the
Noble Earl that his apprehensions were groundless,
as the words of this Act were precisely the same as
those in the 48th of George 111., which applied to
drafts drawn in England.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that the last
clause in the Bill would sufficiently protect any gen-
tleman from the consequences of inadvertence, as
under that clause a power was given of remitting the
penalty.
The Earl of MALMESBURY objected to the
Bill iu its present shape, and thought thet some
alteration ought to be introduced to protect a Scotch
gentleman from the penalty which would attach to
him for drawing a draft for any sum less than 5/. o❑
his banker in London.
After some further observations, the Bill was
agreed to without the amendments and the report
received.

The House next went into a Committee on the
Irish Promissory Note Bill, and the amendment pro-
posed by the Duke of 'Wellington was, that agents
should not be liable to be called upon to pay coinage
for the notes issued, unless resicling, at places where
either the Banks, or their Brandi Banks, were esta-
lished that had issued them.
