DISTILLERIES.

. Lord EkTHURST, pursuant to ,notice; moved that
the order be discharged for hearing witnesses on the
third reading-of the Bill prohibitingthe use of Corn
in distillation -of Spirits. In point -of fad, the BTU
which had been before the House expired' on 'Wed-
nesday last, and be thought the inconveniencies aris-
ing from-any delaylin.passing a Bill to the same' eft.ret,
would far overbalance the incomeniences that might
be -supposed to result from its passing into a •law
without -delay. He should therefore m0ft",.... that
the. order for hearing evidence against the,- Bill be
now discharged.
Lords LAUDERDALE and HARDIVIcKE. oppos, di he
motion, on the ground that it was preposterous to pass
the Bill first;• and then allow an inquiry into the
reasons why it should not have passed. • •
Lord .LAUDEADALE Concluded with an Athend-
ment That thefurther proceedings on the Bill be de-
ferred till Monday 'se'nnighl.
Lord HOLLAND, upon a compariQon of the incon-
veniencies arising froth the•two measures proposed,
was rather inclined to adapt
,the hue sukmtred by
the Noble Bad (Bathurst). - •
After a few., observations from Lords Bivinurts.i,
HAEDWICKE, and DARNLEY, the House divided oil
Lord Lauderdale 9 Amendment.

On our return to the Bar, we found
Lord.GaErsivn,i.E on' hii legs, obje:iing to the Bill,
as incompatible with the Act of Union with frelai.d,
anci\more.or.er suggd4ting cl6ubtl as to the efficacy of
tine Bill if it passed, inasmuch ;is" it 'was a bat to
continue itr force a further act ; but that act ing
expired, ...could the present Bill be siippo e I to
fevive what' it originally intended only -to con.
tinue ? _ .

The Lbnn CLIAN-CEtLoR thought that' there-
were grounds foi- the dqubts suggested by the Nook;
Lord.

A short conversation then arose reipesaing th e
limn-re:Of these dqubts,-in which the Lord Chan--
cellor, Lord Grenville, .tor 4 Bathurst, and Lord
Lauderdale took a part;
_atter which
Lord GRENVILLE moved, that the JudgeS be, de-
sired to -..attitrid to-morrow, to deliver their opi•

nion respe&ing the nature and validity of these
dottbis.

The illation was agreed to, and the farthei Tiro -
et-ea;n-,.: in the Bill were then postponed fUI to,
innr•ruw.-4djiiurned.
