IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MA‘- I.

An account of the duty levied on foreign Corn for the
last year, and an account of wheat exported from Liverpool
to the Isle of Man, were presented at the bar.
Earl FERRERS moved that the evidence of the wit-
nesses already examined on the Leigh Peerage should be
printed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR submitted that the evi-
dence, at this stage of the proceedings, should not be
printed. Seven or eight witnesses had been examined.
The nature of the examination was with respect to the
monument of which so much had been stated, enquiring
into the form, the material of which the stone was com-
posed, and the inscription upon it, with a view
of ascertaining whether the witnesses concurred in their
testimony. There were still a great many witnesses to be
examined, and if the evidence at this stage were to be
printed the Noble Lord submitted it might have the effect
of perverting justice.
Earl FERRERS, after this statement matte from the
Woolsack, had great pleasure in withdrawing his motion.

from Protestant Dissenters in Sussex against further con-
cession to the Roman Catholics.

same county, to the same effect.
Lord CARLISLE presented petitions in favour of Ca-

concurred with these petitions, considering that upon con-
cession to the Catholicm depended nut only the peace but
the stability of the country.
