TITIIES.
Earl STANHOPE stated, that he had a petitiorito
present front a parish iu Essex, complaining of.
the grievance of the tithe system. There was one
ststement in the Petition which deserved their
Lordsilips' particuisr attention. It was this—that
the le-secs of ti:bea in many instances refused to
take tithes of corn, hay, &c. even in hind;
until the prodwet.! of the was gathered into
,hear, and that thi.o,ysiattruded• witlithe greatest
damage to tile vrops, because (as we understood
his Lordship to state) the traps were necessarily
cum Motif on the field, in cons'equence of this plait
at the tithe-le,sees, tilt the rains came un attil de-
stroyed part of the crops. This, his Lordship
stated, was a practice which was totally unne-
' tessary. It was purely a. wanton grievance, but
at the same time one of enormous site. Tile Pe-
titioners also complained of the general hardships
of the system, and urged the expediency of ap-
plying a remedy, in order to prevent the aliena-
tion of the minds of the...people from the clergy.
The Petition was read, ,and laid on the table. •
• LIBERTY OF THE' SUBJECT. •
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the second
reading of the Bill. for better protecting the li-
berty of the subject, tie understood there would
be no objection to the second reading, • though
some, alteratiuns might be proposed which would
come more naturally to be stated in the Coln.

Toe Bill was read a second time, and committed
