Lord AUCKLAND made a few observations on the inconve-
nience which arbse.from so many Bills being brought in relating
to nearly the Same subject; and referred to the sixth article of the
Act of Union, stating that the same privileges with respect to
trade should be enjoyed by both islands ; observing, that by pas-
sing a Bill respecting the Orders in Council, for Great Britain,
before tee for Ireland, the privileges of the two parts of the Unit-
eriKingdoin became, for a certain period, different.
Earl BATHURST observed, that it had been found necessary
to have a separate Bill for Ireland, with respect to Supply ; and it
had been thought expedient to pursue the same course with re-
spect to the Bills of Regulation.
