WELLESLEY'S DIVORCE BILL.

The order of the day being read for proceeding in
a Committee on this Bill, ' .
Thu Duke.of NORFOLK moved, that the clause
which went to deprive Lady Charlotte Wellesley of
the interest of 15,0001. settled by, the respective.
bonds of Mr.. Henry Wellesley for 10,0001. and of
Lord Cadogati for 5,0001. previous to,her marriage
with Mr, Wellesley, might be expunged.
This uas opposed by.the Loan- CHANCELLOR;
but it was finally arranged that she should have-the
interest thereof, in case she survived Mr. H. Wel-
.

On that clause being read, (which,, by a-standing
,order of the House, must be inserted in-every Bill
of Divorce before it can be introduced there; pro-
hibiting the adulterous parties frOm intermarrying
wizti each other) a mccion was made that tt should
be expunged, which brought on a short discussion,
wherein the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord
Chancellor, Earl Grey, the Duke of Norfolk, the
Earl of Buckinghamshire, and Lord Grenville; took
apart. It was agreed that the clause should be ex-
punged, as no 'probability existed that such a circum-
stance could take place, Lord Pagetheing:a•married
man.. The clause was therefore expunged, the Bill
went through the Committee, and was ordered to be
printed and read a third time.--Adjourned. ,
