Mr. GREEN and others brought up a private Bill.

The Excise Acts Amendment Bill of Scotland

Lord ROSEBERRY moved the second reading
of the Small Debts' Bill in Scotland, and gave
notice that he should more the committal of it on
Friday, in case his Noble Friend should not be pre•
sent, who had intended to make the present motion.
Lord CALTHORPE, on the Order of the Day
being called on, postponed the second reading of the
Anatomy Bill to Friday next. He was perfectly
satisfied that every reason that called for any legis-
lative preceeding, made it most desirable this pro-
ceeding should take place without delay.

The-Earl of MAMESBURY wire desirous of
ascertaining whether it was the intention of the
Noble Lord to press this measure -forward. If it
was, he should feel it his duty to oppose it on prin-
ciple, understanding it to be his intention to press it
forward with all its faults, as it now existed.

The Earl of HAREWOOD did not wish to oc-
cupy the valuable time of the House; his objections
were very strong to this measure. His perfect con-
viction was, that neither this nor the other House had
any right to legislate as they had done upon this
subject.

Lord SIDMOUTH presented a petition from
the inhabitants of Devon, against the Duty on
Coals. It appeared to the Noble Lord that the ob-
ject of this petition, and the grounds on which it
was presented, were correct; he should, therefore,
give it his full support, and requested that it might
he read at length.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that on a
former night he had intimated, that if his Majesty's
Ministers did not of their own accord lay before the
House such papers respecting the renewal of the
Elst India Company's Charter before the breaking
up of Parliament, as would enable their Lordship.;
by the time the House met again to have every pos-
sible information on the subject, he should feel it
his duty within a short time to move for the pro-
duction of certain documents. He therefore wanted
now to know whether it was the intention of his
Majesty's Ministers to bring forward such papers.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH had hoped before
this time to have been able, by the command of hi;
:Majesty, to have laid before the House the papers
now referred to,
,bot he had found them in so im-
perfect a state as to require considerable delay in
getting them properly arranged. He trusted that
by next Thursday he should be able to lay them on
the table.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then gave notice
that on Thursday next he should present a varie'y
of petitions on the subject.
The House adjourned at Six o'clock.
