then retired from the bar seemingly gratified even at the
short reprieve allowed them. Four of them, we understand,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, ArRIL 10.

Sir Alex. Grant, and others from the Commons, broughi
up some public and several private Bills.

PEERAGE.

The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, with reference to the
Petition he yesterday presented, rose to call their Lordships'
attention to their Standing Orders. His Lordship then
read the 128th Order, which requires that their Lordships
shall not proceed to consider any case relative to the Peer-
age till after the petition calling on their Lordships to con-
sider it, shall have been fourteen days before them. This
Standing Order, however, did not bind the party present-
ing the petition to proceed within any limited period ; he
should, therefore, move their Lordships to mate an amed-
ment to this Standing Order, requiring all persons claiming
a Peerage to lay a printed statement of the evidence for
their claims before their Lordships within six weeks froth
the time of presenting the petition, if Parliament were
then assembled, or within six weeks after the next meeting
of Parliament.

After a few words from the Earl of LAUDERDALE,
this amendment to their Lordships' Standing Orders was
agreed to.

The Duke of BUCKINGHAM then moved, that Mr.
Chandos Leigh's petition be referred to the Committee of
of Privileges, to which the petition of Mr. 0, Leigh was re-
ferred, giving him power to cross examine witnesses, and to
bring forward such evidence as he might find necessary to
rebut any assertions of Mr. G.. Leigh's statement, injurious
to himself.

After a fr•w words from the LORD CHANCELLOR
and Lord REDESDALE, the motion was agreed to.
