EXEMPTION OF THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM 'TURN-

PIKE TOLLS.

Op a motion that the Report of the Committee
oit theGlasgo,.v and Carlisle Road-,Bill should be
taken into-consideration,

I.lr. CußvEa rose and said, that ke wished to
call the attention of the litlose to a CiECllhtStaoce
WhiCh he conceived to he as gross a violation of
the principles" of the Constitution as any that
could he conceived. In a Committee 'rpm, a
'Turnpike Bili,,it had Casually.come to los know.
ledge,.that a clause was introduced ih:o it ex-
empting the Members of the Royal Fam:ly front
payment of toll. it 'would be in the recollection
of the. lionSe; that about 30 years ago such an
%exemption was first granted to the Crown ; and
to this 'exemption he did not feel any cihjec•ion,
because he thought it consonant with the dignity
which ought to surround it. Daring the last
three years tyclause granting a similar exemption
to every Member of the Royal Family had
.toYert.
introduced into the diffeteut turnpike bills';' and
this clause was so worded, that it not merely _ex-
tended to the Royal Family, but even to the carts
of their servants and farmers, who were thus en-
abled to carry their goods to market withont be-
ing liable to that ta.x which every other person
iu their situation was obliged to pay. lie was
sorry to say, that in some parishes the turnpike
tolls'had tyro been increased owing. to this ex-
emption. The time was now arrived when this
liiethod of proceeding, which WdS as unjust to the
public as it was injhriOns to the Constitotion,
ought to be stopped. If a Committee of the
Rouse bad struck out of a turnpike, bill a clause,
which would have.exempted front payment of the
toll the curate of the parish, who was obliged to
pass through the gate before he could reach the
church, where be had ditty to perform almost
daily, lie did not see with what justice they could
extend an immunity like the present to the Mem-
bers of the Royal Family. lie should, therefore,
move that !his Biil be recommitted : in the Com-
mittee he should move that the clause of exemp-
tion for the Royal Family should be struck' otit
of the Bill ; if that motion were not acceded to,
he should then, move the striking out of that part
of tl:e'clanse which exempted the carts, waggons,
wains, and drays, even of their most menial do=
mestics.

After a few words from Mr. STUART WORTLEY,
the Bill was ordered to be recommitted.

CuttwEN then rose and said,atbat be Iron'
oppose every revort of every Bill which contained
such a clause, as it could
.not be justified Upott
a'ny constitutional principle. He therefore hoped
that attention would be paid in the proper quar-
ter to the intention which he bad just expressed.
