The Or!ler of the Day, respecting the fiirther
consideraiinn of Halley'd DivOrce Bill, being
rend,

The Loan CtlANcait.oi observed, that upon a
fartivr Consideration of the evidence, it appeared
to Itiin to 'fall short of a satist,ictiii• 'mutt with
reyeet -to: our or two, but particularly one im-
portant tact .io the case, which it was tiectssary
be clerrrly before their Lordships, before
they could eome to a just decision opal it. This
he Inferred. principally from what was deposed by
three of the female witnesses; who had not only,
by tbir 401,1e:tee nt the Ilar of the Honae, coh•
trodicted %what had been deposed so by them be-
tore the Ecclesiastical Court, but contradicted
each other io what they had said at their Lord-
ships' liar. It would he proper, in the iiew he
stated, I harat least these wituesses should be far-
ther examined. Of this inconsistent or contra-
dictory testimony hiS Lordship gave some short
illustration, and expressed his belief, that in those
written depositions people were often made to say
what really they, did not mean to say. It may
be also material, he thought, that some fat Cher
questions shotild be pill to Mr. Gadd, the farmer.
Under these rircumstanceS, he would propose that
the consideration of the Bill should be farther
postponed till Mouday'; nit which'day, the wit-
nesses he alluded to should be ordered to ar end.
The suggestion of the Noble Lord ont he Wool-
sack was embodied into a motion by the Earl of
shattesitry.; putt, and ordered accordingly.
The 13i11s upon the table, chiefly private, were
forwarsied in their respective stagss.
Mr. Foster, from the Liverpool Dock Com,
patty, presented at the Ilar an account of the Re-
ceipts and DisbnrsenfentS of that Corporation, for
the last year.—Laid upon the table.
Earl GRO,ArfiNott presented a ptt:tinn from Clod-
ford, in the County of Ginneester,.prayiu for the
repeal of• all the Corn Laws, and for the enact-
ment of an Income Tax, its lieu of the. Asseitteil
Taxes ; which was 'read, and laid upon the tat!le.
