in preventing frauds and evasions ; but he thought it
would be better if the Right Honourable Gentleman
had come down with a paper in his hand of the de-

Mr. HUSKISSON could not conceive in what pos-
sible, shape an account of this kind could be brought
before the House, or of what use it would be to the
revenue. If it could be made out, it would of course
be granted, like other accounts relating to the public
money, on a motion for that purpose.
Mr. BIDDULPH was not then prepared to specify
the heads, but would inquire into the subject, with a
view to a specific motion.
The Resolutions were then severally put, and the
Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday.

Leave was given to bring in a Bill to permit Attornies and So-
licitors to act as Public Notaries ; except in the City of London,
or within three miles thereof.
