HARE SHOOTING.

Lord STANHOPE havirg enquired what stage of proceeding
this Bill was in, and brit g informed that it stcod for a third read-
ing, observed, that this Bill wis a pretence for repealing an Act
of James I. not for the shontirg of hares, but for shooting at
hares; and also to repeal an Act of GeoTe, I. The fact was,
that by the former Acts, the proprietors of land could appoint
whom they pleased to be their game-keeper, either their own
servant or the servant of the neighbouring farmer: by the present
Act, however, the appointment of the genie-keeper was vested.
in the Lord of the Manor only; and, ,therefore, i ,asmuch as the
former Acts were betLr than the one now proposed, his Lord
air. moved that the said Bill be dismissed.
The question was then put, and negatived without a division.

MR. PALMER'S CLAIM.

Lord PI LIOT moved, that the Report of their Lordships'
Ccmrnittte, who enquired into the circumstances of this case,
should be taken int consideration to-morrow.---Ordered.

PADDINGTON CANAL COALS BILL.
On the order of the day for the third reading' of
this Bill, _ _

Lord MOIRA rose, not for the purpose of propos-
ing any amendment in the present stage of the Bill,
but to declare his decided disapprobation of the pro-
vision limiting the qUantity of coals admitted into Lon-
don by this conveyance. His Lordship's opposition to
this limitation was not merely upon the high price of
coals in the LOndon market .at home seasons of the
Tear; but be considered such limitation as an act of
injustice towards the rs concerned in trsi Pad-
dington Canal- He person concerned, in the Fad-
dinton Canal. He hm,elf had some property ad-
oimng parts of this Canal, and he very well remem,
, 'when the Canal was first commenced, no inch
restriction was either suggested, or supposed to be in-
tended; in this view he considered this limitation an
act of injustice, andhe intimated his intention of bring-
ing forward some propositions upon the subject early
in the next" Session.

The Earl of SUFFOLK coincided with what had
beei stated by thi Noble Earl (Moira) ; and urged,
as he had done on former occasions, how very highly
•
air' portant it was that the price of coals in this metro-
polis st:ould be as low as possible. He observed, that
it had been alleged, that the duty en the Newcastle
real was considerably greater than the duty on that
brought by inland navigation. From inquirv,he
been informed, that the duty paid .on the Newcastle
coal, if justly compared with the Paddington, chi' hot
much exceed one

The Bill was then read a third time, and passed.
LOCAL MILITIA.

Lord HAWKESBURY having moved the Order
of the Day for the third reading of the Local Militia
Bill, and the several former amendments being read
and agreed to.

Lord FITZWILLIAM, after sAme observations,
• concluded by moving an amendment, that all persons
ballotted for under the Training Act, should be ex-
empted from the operations of this Bilk
Lord HAWKESBURY shortly observed, that as
the Training Act had never been carried into eXecu-
tion, nor any warrants issued for the ballot of persons
to serve under that act, and as it was not at preseibt
the intention of his Majesty's Government to take any
immediate steps upon that Bill, he considered the
propo:ed clause wholly unnecessary, and the:Oafs
gave it his decided negative.
Lord FITZWILLIAM; in reply, urged the ne-
- of his Majesty's Ministers etcher repealing the
ling Act altogether, or agreeing to this clause.
ien entered into a general defence of the system
Right 'non. Friend (Mr. Windham), =4 a
,tion of the present measure.

The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM repeated some
of his former obsnwations in favour of the measure ;
at the same time he regretted differing in opinion
from his Noble Friend (Lord Fitzwilliam.)
Lord HOLLAND urged the inconsistency of his
Majesty's Government, in refusing to admit the pro-
posed clause, and their perseverance in not repealing
the Training Act, at the same time that they de-
rclared they never intended to make use of it, while
the provisions of it were held in terroreat over the
country.—The Bill was then ordered to be read a third
time to-morrow.
After -:ome further routine business, the House adjourned till
