which, in the first instance, he had intended to
submit in the shape of a Breach of Privilege on
the part or Editors of .No.v•rapers, but finding he
could not do that, he now Ivished to make the ex-
pl3uation, leaving the mischief to he repaired in
the same way in which it Wilt lifsl'CQMlßilted.

.of a d,:nate which took place on the subject of
the Education of the Poor, he had expressed him-
.selt in favour of II:e -Istem of general education,
umd said that it could not be carrird to too great
an extent. It happened, however, that the News-
papers, unintentionally he was sure. mis•stated his
sentiments in this fCSVPCt ; iu consequence of
which he had suffered great injury, as a number of
papers had been brought against hint at the last
General Election, Containing opinions under his
name, directly the reverse of what he entertained.
Ott that occasion he had spoken strongly in favour;
of the Education of the Poor ; and indeed it was
impossible he could ha've said otherwise, as he
Ira t always been in favour of it. He stated this
in hopes that the injury he had sustained might
be rectified through the sante channel it had been
inflicted. The Elan. Member then presented a
Petition from the Inhabitants of St. Mary, Pad-
ditavon, praying for an inquiry into the state of
Wa.er Companies in that parish.

- Sir .1. MACINTOSH said, he held in his hand a Petition
from 11r. A'exander Tillock, an ingenious and scientific per-
son: The Petitioner, in 1797, presented to the Bank of Eng-
land a plan for the prevention, or at least to render extremely
difficult, the forgery of their Notes. The Bank, however, re-
jected the plan; but the Commissioners, in the.year Ist 8, had
approved (Ohm- plan which in 1797 had been thus- rejected
by the Bank. The Petitioner complained of he provisions of
a Bill now before the Eloise for the prevention of forizeries,
as tending to affect the free exercise of the art of ettgrai;ill4.

for remnneration.—Ordered to lie on the Table.
