Mr. Core pres'euted a l'e ition from the Rec.
• tors and Owners of Land of !he Parish of Digs, in
the County of Norfolk, in Itvour of a commuta-
tion of Tithes.
111 r. BtrotrOirAt was glad rt sec the sound view
-• which the Clergy tt,ok of their real interests, by
ptirinoting such Petitions as the present.
ThePetitfon was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Cilia' then presented several other Pal-
- Ilona from :various Perishes, in the County of
Norfolk, to the same effect, and one agreed to by
the Partners and Freeholders of the County, as-
."' serribled in the Corn Market at Norwich.
'On the question that it lie on the table,
Pouses:BY said, that. lie was conscioes, at
this ]atc;heriod of the Session, that it was 'moos-
iible to do itrty thing effectually to coincide with
'the prayer of those Petitions, but urged the ne-
cessity, iu the course of the next Session, to Mlle
to some decision on this subject.
Lord MILToN admitted, that the question of
Tithes was .one of great importance, and would
• not deny; that some alteration might be made in
the 'system ; but he protested against sending
abroad any belief, that the present distress might
be relieved by any such alteration in the system of
.• Tithes. They were a sort of property which might
be regulated, but could not be destroyed. . •
Mr. PONSONSY said, that he had never con-
fleeted the relief of present distresses with the
prospective alterations in the pystetn of Tithes.
Mr. littottottAm expressed the same sent intents.
Lord MILToN did not charge the noose with
entertaining those opinions, but wished to guard
against their, being spread thioughout the
conntry.
Mr BARING contended that the Petitions now
presented by the Clergy and Farmers, proved that
the existing' system of Tithes was most preintli-.
cial to the interests of both, and that any regula-
tion would be well received by all parties. _
Sir J. NEWPORT hoped sincerely that next
Session Parliament would not defer the considera-
tion of this important question. It had:been pro-
'lnked to Ireland ar the Acrof Union. The real
evil was eciinprised in the manner and inequality
in which Tithes were levied, and nut in their
amount.
The Petition was then ordered to lie on the
table.
Mr. 1311oGneir appeared at the-Bar, and stated
*that the House of Peers' had agreed to the Con-
ferenee'rerptested by that House in the Painted
Chamber, Tespecting the classification of the Sta-
. thte Book.
Mr. BATHURST moved that a Committee be ap-
pointed to hold that Conference.
A Commitee was then appointed, and the Mem-
bers repaired to the Painted Chamber. At their
return,
Mr. BATHURST stated, that the Lords of the
Conference had agreed to submit thcjr Amend-
ments to the House of Peers.
Lord MILTON presented Petition from two
persOns of the name of Parker and Wilson,who
bad obtained a'Patent for some improvement in
ship-building, in Consequence, of which they had
been employed fot. two years iu the Uock -.yards at'
Deptford. They had not been employed at their
oven recommendation, hut st. the desire ofilte
thiralty,to soperititend the improvements the'y were
:milting. They now complained of having receiv-
itb remuneration, nut only for their invention,
but for'their time and labour.
The SPltAttea stated, that as it was , a money
Nation, 'Unless the Nnble Lord was prepared
to, State that it. came recommended from the
Clown, it would be contrary to the orders of the
ilotase to receive it.
