A T a GENERAL MEETING cf the COMMIS-
-J. AT
MOYERS of the LAND-YAX far the Stewartry of Kirk-
czdhright, convened, the p•:rpcse of considering :he Hid of
a Bill proposed to Sc i 7i:Preit into PA:limo ent for Defining and
Regulating the P. wen of the Coinntissinn of 'Veinds, in Auz-*
nteating and Modifying the Stipends of the Clergy of Scotland.

Sir DAVI!) IVIANWET.I. of Cardor.css, Baronet,
chi secs Pr scs•

The Meeting approve of the principle of the proposed Bill.
They are of npieien that in all caws where ',be accrete of Aug-
menne etn is anteceslent to the pu;sing of thy Bill, the period dur-
leg which the Incumbent is to be restrair.ed from suing for a new
Augmentation, ought to be fixed at fifteen tears; and that in all
cases where the Augmentation shall be obtained subsequent to the
passing of the Bill, the period during which the Incumbent h to
he restrained from suing for a new augmentation, ought to be
fixed at twenty five years from the date of the Decree.
in suggesthig the period of twenty-five years, the Meeting have
in view the-provisions of the Bill tee converting all the I`..lobey
Stipend in Scotland into Victual, a measure of which they highly
approve, browse as the price of Grain must always in souse de-
gree keep pace with the expenee of living, it will render frequent
augmentations less ueerssery. The Legislature too having fixed
twenty-five years as the period for rectifying the Salaries of Paco.
chial Schoolmasters, there scents to be no reason for fixing a dif-
ferent period for Augmenting the Livings of the Clergy.
The Meeting see no grounds for shortening the period of re-
striction in those cases of augmentation, where the Summons was
executed previous to the 12th day of March last, provided the
Decreet be not obtained till after the passing of the Bill, because
the Judges will have in view the operation of the Law at the time
of giving judgment.
The Meeting are farther of opinion, that the Money price of
Victual Stipend ought to be regulated and paid by the avcretse of
the fair prices of every preceding seven years.
The Meeting approve of the Citation of Presbyteries in all
processes of Augmentation, provided that it be understood, that
if Presbyteries do not mete appearante within the space of five
months, then every question with regard to collusion between
Heritors and Ministers, shall be completely foreclosed : but the
Meeting are of opinion, that in the event of Presbyteries snaking
appearance, and failing to establish collusion, the Court should be
empowered to find the Presbytery. liable in the expences incerred
by the Heritore; and that if the Pi esiytery succeed in establishieg
collusion, the Court shall also be empowered to find the Heritors
liable in the expellees incurred by the Presbytery.
The Meeting desire and authorise the Proses to send Copies of
these Minutes to the Earl of SELKIRK, the Lord Lieutenant of
the Stewattry, and to the Fart of GA L Lqwwir, the Lord Advo-
cate and Solicitor General of Scotland, and the Reprecentatives in
Parliament for the Stestrat;ry and the District's of Boroughs con-
nected with the Stewartry. And the Meeting direct the Clerk to
publish these Athletes in the Landon, EdinbXWl LLL, Prurgh, and Dumfries

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JUNE 3.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing evidence in the
Roxburgh Appeal Cause, intin.ated, that after the parties bad
gene through the various points of their case, their Lordships
should sit in a Committee of Privileges upon the claim to the
Dukedom of Roxburgh, previous to pronouncing judgment.
Lord LAUDERDALE moved, that the parties on each side
should produce copies of the titles under which they seek to claim.
Ord' red.
The Lords Commissioners, the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Wel-
singhatn, and the Lord Chancellor, gave the Royal Assent, with
the usual formalities, to the Commissioners of Military Inquiry

Continuation Bill and eight private Bills.
Upon the second reading of the Bill for the more effectual reco-
very of small debts in Kingston-upon-Thames,
The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM took occasion to observe
upon the number of Bills of this nature which were now passing
both Houses of Parliament, many of which contained clau of a
most important and alarming nature. He wished to call the at-
tention of their Lord‘hips to the subject, and expressed a hope that
some measures would be taken upon it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. coincided with the Noble Mar-
quis, observing, that many of these Bills were solicited by inte-
rested persons, without the concurrence or even knowledge of the
inhabitants of the place wheie such Bills were to take effect. The
Clauses in some of these Bills were of an exceedingly mischievous
tendency, and went in a great measure to subvert the established
laws : he had observed a clause in one of these Bills, whereby
minors were made li'ble to certain debts, contrary to the estab-
lished law, and in another, a clause, where a stranger might prose-
cute a suit against an inhabitant, the effect of which might be,
that in the sequel, if the stranger should not establish his suit,
the inhabitant might become chargeable with all the costs. His
Lordship thought, that in future persons soliciting Bills of this de-
scription should give sufficient previous notice. He intimated his
intention of bringing forward this subject again.
The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed.
Lord HAWKESBURY presented a Petition from Sir William
Jenningham, laying claim to the Barony of Stafford.—Ordered to
be referred to the Committee of Privileges.
On the first reading of the new Bill for the Commissioners of
Military Inquiry,
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in order to exculpate himself
and the Clerk of the House from any blame, as to the irregula-
rity which had been committed, by the Royal Assent not being
given to this Bill, moved, That the Minutes of their Lordships'
Journals upon the Bill be now read; which being done, it ap-
peared that the Bill had been regularly passed through its several
stages.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved, that the 'tutees be sum-
moned to attend this House in a Committee of Privileges, on the
Banbury Peerage, on Friday next.—Ordered.
After some further routine business, the House adjourned un,
til Wednesday next.
