DISTI LLE RIES.

Earl ALBEMARLi presented a, Petition from the
Corn-growers and LanJ-holders in the neighbour-
hood of Ipswich, in Sullblk, zigAnst the Bill pro-,
hibiting the distillation of Spi.:h s from Coin,
The Petition being read, his Lor:ship observed,
that the- yery indecent and um. arraritable_ haste
with which- it was at;ernOtt'd to burry the Bill
through was • the great cause why more . Petitions

,what he had before stated, ,that, -if suffiei,mt,
time were allowed, Petitions would be found ro flow
in from all parts of the ,country against - the

Earl BATHURST repli'd, that there was no room
for the charge. made by i.,e Noble Earl, of the Bill
being hurried through Pa.:riiament with. indettent and
unwarrantable baste. The fact was; that the Bill
bad been Wore Par*iament more than a Month, and.
that abuatdant: time ,tlad been afforded of petitioning
against i; from the remotest parts of the,country.--7
If it snould be ',greed that in its operation it would
be found so injurious to the essential interests of the
Country, as liad been asserted by some Noble
Loris, the ;House would recoiled that; there was
a clause iji the. Bill Parliament to' repeal
or new-tootlel the during the course of the
present Session..
Lord LAUDERDILE contended, that the Bill had
not bear snore than four days before the House, .
when it was endeavoured to hurry it to its List stage,
with what was justly called
.indeCent and urawar-,
rantable haste. He held in his hand a Petition from
several respeCtahle• Land-holders of the county of
Norfolk against the Bill; and the complaint it pre-
ferred Wa1410! only the compla;nt of tile county.
of Norfolk, but was• also the feeling of the agricul-
tural part of Scotland., - It was well itiat
farmers had on their hands a large .quantity of
damaged Barley; of which they would be pvevented
from, disposing by the present Bill. That and many
other Objeetions ,to the Bill would be urged from
almost all parts of the kitigdom, if suftcient tithe 4
were allowed to send them in. His Lordship
concluded with moving, that the Petition do lie
on the table.

Earl BATHURST contended that the repealing of
the present Bill would afford no relief to the far-
mers, by taking off their hands the damaged Bariey•
mentioned by the Noble Loid. The Distillers
would not' purchase, nor attempt to distil from
.such Barley, for They always found it their interest
ta(employ the best grain for distillation.
After a Idw observatiOns froni Lords Albemarle',
Glasgow, Lauderdale, and Hardwicke, it 'vas agreed
o hearCouuset and witnesses against the Bill, and
Counsel was accordingly called'in.
After Counsel' had had been heard, and wit-
nesses examined, the conversation was renewed
respecting thegrinting of fun I:er time, which Lord
Lauderdale acquiesced in, •by moving that the debate
be adjourne.d till Thursday next.
Lord BATIIURST had-previously moved that„Mr.
Sinith be examined,,in order_to prove that damaged'
Biltrley was not used by Distillers.
Lord LAU4EIWALE, however, pressed his amend-
ment for an adjourntlient of the debate, which was
agreed to without a division.

Lord LAUDIitiDALE then moved the discharge of
the order for Thur_sdaynext, on a motion lor.a Select
Committee on the afnirs of the East India Corn -
pavyi which motton be should bring forward on
