THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1821

Jews, and Roman Catholics, while they were excluded. . The
Honourable Member stated that the petition was most respect-
ably', signed.
Dr. PHILLIMORE rose to corrrect a mis-statement in the
Petition. It was true that Quakers and Jews werer allowed
the privilege of solemnizing marriages according to the rites of
their system of religious worship, but the Roman Catholics in
this country had no such privilege, as a inarriage performed
by one of their own clergymen was not valid; until the parties.
were married again according to the rites of .mir Church.__
This was a great mischief to the poorer class of Roman Ca-
tholics in particular, and Many cases of crying hardship 'arose
out of it.
Mr. BENNET said, that the misAtittemcnt only proved that
the Petitioners thought the laws to be more what they ought to
be than what they are. They supposed that there.was amore'';,
extended toleration in them, than, to the disgrace of the coun-
try, they could boast. „ •
Mr. C. CALVERT presented p Petition. froin a:person
named George White, who stated himself to have been for a
long time a confidential Messengitr to the late Mr. Pitt,
and to have been seventeen years Surveyot, of Taxes at Ux-
bridge, and three at Kensington, but, on aourit.of giving in-
formation, with a view to prevent mal-practices in the.eullection
Of the revenue, his doing so was consideraofficious, and he was
discharged. He stated also, that since 1819 he had been en-
gaged in a constant struggle to obtain arrears due to him at the
Tax-office, without success, in consequence of which he was
confined in the King's Bench Prison, under circumstances of
aggravated misery. He prayed the Douse for inquiry, into his
case, and that it would be pleased to attbrd him protection, and
to correct the existing abuses in the collection ofthe revenue.—
Ordered to lie on the Table.
The Prisoners' Rescue Bill was read a third time and
passed. •
Mr. S. RICE moved for Copies of all Letters addressed by
the Judges in the Courts of Law and Equity, •to the Commis-
sioners of Inquiry into the Courts of Justice in Ireland, and
other Documents connected with the object of the Inquiry.—'
Ordered.
• The Stock Cancelling Bill was committed— Report to-
morrow.
The East India Private Trade Bill was committed.
After a conversation of some length, in which Mr. flume,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 111r.13ennet, Mr. Baring, Mr.
Bernal, Mr. Bright, Sii J. Mackintosh, Mr. T. Wilson, Lord
Binning,,Mr. Canning, and Mr. W. Smith, took a part, the
blanks were filled up, and the House having resumed, the Re-
port was ordered to be received to=morrow.
AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
A Message froin the Lords requested the communication of
a Copy of the 'Report of the Committee of the House of Com-
mons on the various Petitions complaining of Agricultural
Distress.

.
. On the motion .of Mr. ROBINSON, .the Messengers were
informed by the Speaker that the House would communicate
to their Lordships a Copy of the said Report.
Lord A. HAM ILTON gave notice that he would'to-morrow
move for the repeal of an obnoxious clause contained in an
Act, (he did not know how to describe it), passed on the ltith
of last April.

EDINBURGH STAMP OFFICE.
Mr. liumE rose in pursuance of notice, to
bring this. question under the attention of the
House. From some papers which had been
lately laid upon the table, Gentlemen would be
better enabled to understand the transaction.

This was a case which would shew the disposi-
tion of Ministers, in small as well as great matters,
-to extend their influence, rather than attend to
the substantial advantages of the public. He
held in his-hand a paper containing forty folio
.pages, being a correspondence between the Trea.:
sury and other Departments of .the Government,
on a transaction in which the Treasury had little
or nothing to do. It appeared that, for the better
accommodation of the Stamp Office, it became
necessary that they should look out for a large
building, and accordingly directions were given
to that effect by the Treasury, to Mr. Ledwych,
Chairman of the Board. He presented a letter
upon the 25th. April) stating that he could pro-
-cure a proper building (Dumbreck's Hotel) in
St. Andrew's-square, for the sum of 7,4001. and
with the advantage of immediate occupation.
However, the Treasury permitted private influ-
ence to interfere, and they gave their' sanction
to the building of a new Stamp-office, at a place
called Regent's Bridge. This appeared to him
to be one of the grossest jobs that ever was prac-
tised, and afforded a striking proof that there
was no public measure whatsoever in which pri-
vate influence did not interfere. According to
the usual custom, Mr. Reed, the public archi-
tect, should have been employed in the building,
but instead of that, the Linn. Baronet (Sir J.
Marjoribanks) had got his own architect, Mr.
Lorrimore, appointed. He held in his hand a
very able letter from Mr. Reed, pointing out
the defects of the building. The rooms were
quite dark, a large space was left behind, against
which a house might have been built, and the
windows shut up, which had since been pur-
chased at a considerable' expeuce. It was also
built in a most inconvenient situation, just the
same as if a Post-office for the convenience of
the inhabitants of London were built at Whi►te-
chapel. The Honourable Gentleman next ad-

verted, as another instance of private influence;
to the mode of transmitting the revenue
from Scotland. His Honourable Friend, the
Member for Abingdon (Mr. Mabel.ley) had of-

:erect to transmit in twenty days what before took

forty, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
being a good-natured kind of man, as he always
was, consented to divide the difference with the
man who held the situation, and engaged he
should. transmit it in .30 days ; and the conse-
quence was, that the loss to the public of Oe. in-
terest of the money, occasioned by this delay,was
no less a sum than i 8,0001. a year.--(If ear.)—
It appeared that the building of the new Stamp
Office, including the various expences, would

. ,
amount to 12,0001.; whereas they could have
bad one ready built, with much greater advan-
tages, for the sum of 7,1001. lie knew that it
was an invidious task to bring forward charges
against an individual, but if the facts of the case

which he stated were true, his case was made

out, and he rested upon that, careless of what
might be said, and ..,he called upon' the House
boldly to express'a condemnatory opinion of the

whole transaction and the persons. concerned in

The -Hon. Gentleman concluded by, moving
[e following Resolution :

" That it appeals to this House, from certain papers relative
to th 6 building of 'a new Stamp-Office in Edutburgh, that much
irregularity had taken place in
,the transaction, particularly in
the selection of the situation, and the appmtment of the Sur-
veyor, and in proccediug with the building without a contract,
and also in releasing Sir J. Illarjorthanks front his engagement
