,r 1 that thd I c.tutivta iatigrost only IQ Appeals

mid Writs of brrot. tram ;lad other jua ciel
business to attend to, and which occupied a great
portion of their Lordships'; as the eases of the
Berkeley' and tin' 13iJIbtry. Peerages this session,
amply evinced., Thee mat always., front' the na-
ture of tiie thing, be some cases re,naining tiotried,_
and he thought it would 'beprefe,rable to leave the
esolution as it stood, as, when the ari'dar should
be considerably reduced, the House could decide' on"
the 'roost vtelerablt mode-arpreeeeding-- under the
eirequWances.
Earl Qualreoinoidi'd in the opinion of his Noble
Fi lend (Lord S.). He thought they should proceed
in title tno,t expeditious way until the whole arrear
was eXtinguished ; and thougi:t it would be proper
to iiiiroduce into that Pat of the Resniution,'insteild
of the present words, the -following ; " Until
the then existing arrear uf, causes shall be extin-
guished."
Earl STANttok thought the, words proposed by
Ins Noble Friend expressed his own meaning better
than, those he preposed.
The Earl of Ltvettpont. repeated his argument in
f ,t'.ur.of the Resolution as it now stood ; and thonglit
it would be better to. leave the point to the .sub,e-
quent discretion of the ilouse, according to the cir-
cumstances, as they were Ito,B gulden iu several
other points of a nature tieady sitntlar,
The question was then put on an Amendment,
as t,ugg, sled by Eall GREY, amid Which was negatived
. without a divisioo.
The Lars of Lisigavora. then Moved the adoption
of the St coact Re.;olutioo.

The Lai of,LAunertfmc recurred to his formcr
argument, that ehe House had not sutficient infor-
mati.in btfoie them, as to the business of. the Court
Of Chancery, to warrant the. adoption.
The LOND At:CW.I,O4 brietiy observed upo,
he vast increase nt the nu-tuber Of Appeals in t hat
olifiti since tile periods, adverted to by the. Noble
Larl;--it was ten fold.
The Earl of ' LotungllD4E, in reply, contended,
that the informatiOn requnto' was essentially nee s.
nary, to enable the House to forma judgment .of ttw
merits of the question.—When Lord Lougt;boroilli
pre3ided in that Home, there was only -une..year.
Appeals iu areeor, and yet they had no --hoot matiota
• ag to the state et the Chancery business at: that 14-
riod, Ho mean' Oct to speak either in praise.nr,de.
pieciation of the cetutud of any Noble. Lord .while
that situation. He o:iiy. wished they should tre
informed as to the matte; or tail.

• The Earl of LivEaroor. cootetvied, the Resolu-
tion was not borne our by the yotortotio tat ut the
itninense increase of Appeals„ ul late years.
,•

Earl Gitti spoke in favour of the obieaions of
his Nohle,Friend,(Lord L.). Referring io the in-
crease of balances in the hands of the Accompiant-
Generbil, he observed, it wir4 no proof df tno in.
crease of the general business of the Court of Chan-
-
ter:.
Lard REDZSDALE entertained a contrary opinion.
That increase, combined with many other notorious
circumstances, demonstrated an increase of business
In Chancery. lt .was increased also in comequence
,of the additional business thrown upou the Court by
the various Ads of Parliament. The Noble and
Learned Lord added so,i.e details in order to prove
that the business in Chancery had cov.siderabiy in-
creased since the periods of Lords' ilardwicke and
Northington presided in that Court.
The Resolution was,then agreed to without any
arnt.odinenr.'
The third Resolution Was agreed to, Without op.
position.

•
, On the Earl of LIVER-11000 proposing the fourth
Resolotion, some discussion arose, principally 'be-
tween the Earls of Lauderdale .and S•anhope„ the
Lord Chancellor, and tie Nobo Secretary of
.State,
'nod chiefly on the prnpritey of fixing a particular
rim e, alter which, in e'ich no Appeals
should be received by their Lordshipit, It was pro-
po,teil.by Noble Lords on the Opposition side, that
some provision trsiich an eifed should be introduced
into the-Resoltitien, which they contended Was not
sufficiently explicit as it stood at present. • The
practice cif..the Scout Courts with resi.ea to eases of
Appeal was reterrett to, and some degree of diTheulty
itt deciding.npon the subject, was held to result froni
that considocition. The conversation was closed
by'
'the Earl of la v tißroor,, wire coincided in deem-
ing it propim. that some livaittA period in each Ses-
sion
,should take place, a:, to receiving of Ap-
peals as at present etists, with respe6t to the pri-
..vate buiitiess, bills, arid' petitions ; nut only in the
110se of-Corninorcs,..but it ktheir Lordships; but
this, die thought, it would be preferable to cried in
each 4SeisiOn, witli 'respect to the Appeals, by a
particular, and not by a gencrol order.
The Resolutioa was agreed to without amend-

riltot, 34 lest lteiolution without discus-

Mr. BLACKSUIINB presented a Petition from the
Cotton Manufadurets• of the town of. Manchester
aild its vicinity, 'praying relief from Parliament.--
Ile said it was his intention to appoint an early day
for taking the subjed into consideration.
Sir Tlonsia PuaLti said, that particular circum-
stances had, made him acquainted with the condition
of, those upon whose behalf The Petition was pre-
sewed, and never, he belieVed, Was there an instance
in IA hien the labourers cif this country suffered touch
distress. Ile was far front attributing this serious,
evil:to the condect 'of. his Majesty',s :Ministers it
was owing, heappreliendedi,aliogether to thesuc-
cessful etforts of our great eneenv. -He hoped, that
as Parliament had. already conic forw.:rd to support
f!,, inhabitants of Portugal, under ;has Calamities
brought upon thecti by the troops 'or llUonaparte,.
they would be no less anxious to tiroteet their own
manufatititcys from the consequences of his policy,
The body soliciting assistance was a trust useful. one,
and had contributed as much as any other td
mote.the commerce and welfare of the coantry.-4-
It would, he waapersuaded,. go a Arent warto Rile-

COLSTANLyY said he had another ,PeeitiOn of a

the weavers, spinners, anu labourers of cotton in the
town. and 'Willi!), of Bolton, in Lancashire, which
he should presolt vk hen this was. disposed of. The
petitioners were a'lDOttitaltistriinwelasa of mu,- and
the, distre4es to which they were exposed were great
and serious: -

The CHAT cst.t,Ott of the gltcitaitusa said, he
did not doubt that such Petitions would always be
received by the House, and, disposed ot, according
to its nest judgment, in the present instarige,, he
was anxious that the Petition aild allirs details should
b,. fully befune them, in ordrr that they might come
to the ennsiiieration of the question with all the in-
formation netessitiy. .He thought the motion, of
which the' 1-lon.,qentlertirm who presented the Pe-
tition hal giVen wpropertine ;. it was tight
that he should, hetealter fix' a
.day /Or rnuvin that
it should •be referred to.a,COmmittee, upon which
occasion,
,the House would have to c r.sider all,the
points embraced in' such A mu ion ;it would have.to
consider, the evil, the prayeti and the remedy ; it
would have to consider whether it .would be practi-
cable to
.idford. Sufficient relief, an 'as a necessary
branch of. that consideration, whether it sufficient
relief c0,:!.1d apt k)e atrorded, the attempt might not
excite exped'ations which colfld net,be fulfilled, and
by so doing aggravate instead of alleviating ,the dts.
treAses. The prtsent was not the little for discussing
those topics i..he shoulti, Oeretitre, satisfy himself
with declaring upon' his awn parr, and he believed
he .might upon the pdtt Of every Member of that
House, that it washisdesire to afford every .praefical
relief; but that he should,feel it necessary, to guard
against encouraging any ,!tope which was not likely
to be•realised.
