uniformly perpetrated at night. Ile would protest,
however, against throwing urn the army the re-
sponsibility and the odium of carrying the Act into
execution without the co-operation of the Magistrates.
Earl FITZWILLIAM never gave a vote with
more satisfaction than that which he had just given
ngainst the House going iuto a Committee upon that
Bill, to which he felt the most decided hostility.

The 13111 then went through a Committee.—On the
bringing, up of the Report,
The EArl of ROSSLYN objected to the vagueness

which the clauses exhibited.

Lord HOLLAND condemned the manner in which
a Bill which went to deprive the people of Ireland of
a great portion of their liberties cam= before their
Lordships, and which completely prevented the pos-
sibility of making any amendment in it in that House.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL contended that the Bill,
in its pi esent shape, had existed for many years, and
%vas perfectly well understood in Ireland.
The Report was then agreed to.
APPELLATE JURISDICTION.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved that the Reso.
lutions founded on the Report of the Committee should
be entered on the Journals as Standing Orders.
Lord DACRE suggested that such Members of
the Royal Family who were Members of that House
should be exempted from, the operation of the fourth
‘lanse, which went to compel the attendance of Peers.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that subject had
been considered, and it was deemeti mote respectful
not to exclude the Members of the Royal Family as
suggested by the Noble Lord.
The Earl of DSRLINGTON objected to the intro-
duction of any pecuniary penalty at all to compel at-
tendance; but if it should be determined to have one,

it should be in such an amount as would secure its
object; now it was manifest, that a Noble Lord resi-
ding in Ireland or Scotland would prefer paying 501.
to coming to London to attend his duty. Ile should
therefore move to substitute the sum of 1001. instead
of 501. in the clause. _

Lord HOLLAND objected to make any distinc-
tion in the Members of that House; as Peers of Par-
liament, all there were equal ; but he wished to ask
the Noble Earl opposite, was there any precedent for
compelling the Noble Lords to their duty on a penalty
of a sum of money ?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL concurred in opinion
with the Noble Baron ; the attendance of all Peers
without distinction ought to be enforced.
After some further conversation, in which the Earl
of ROSSLYN, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Earl of LI-
VERPOOL, Lord HOLLAND, the Earl of DARLINGTON,
and Lord BEXLEY took part, the clause for fixing the
penalty at SOL was adopted.
The Resolutions were then ordered to be entered
on the Journals of the House as Standing Orders.
The remaining Bills were then forwarded in their
espective s tages.—A djourned.

On the return of strangers to thk gallery,
Mr. WILBERFORCE was addressing the House
on a Petition which he presented from the Rev. John
Lempriere, setting forth the manner in which he had
been dismissed from his situation as head master of
Exeter School. The Petitioner had presented a Pe-
tition last Session, which had been referred to the
Commissioners appointed by Act of Parliament to
inquire into Public Chat ities. The Petitioner prayed
for an inquiry into the causes of his removal.
Mr. T. COU RTEN A Y defended the Trustees of the
School, by whom Mr. Lempriere had been removed.
The Trustees did not proceed to those steps till they
had felt it to be a necessary step, by seeing the School
declining in numbers, from year to year ; they had
appointed another Master, under whom the School
had been progressively improving.
Mr. BROUG II AM wished to know if it was true,
as stated by the Petitioner, that the person appointed
to succeed Mr. Lemptiere, was.nearly related to one
.of the Trustees ?
Mr. COURTENAY said, the fact was so.
Mr. WILBERFORCE said, lie understood, when
'Mr. Lempriere was first appointed to the School, it
increased rapidly, and continued to do so, till he was
thwarted in everything be did, by the opposition of
Mr. Collins, one of the Trusters; and he now sought
to obtain redress for the injury he had sustained.
Mr. COURTENAY had no objection to the fullest
inquiry ; but he could not consent to this Petition,
containing libels on tie Trustees, being printed and
circulated.-
Mi. BROUGHAM was in favour of printing the
contained no greater libels than most Pe-
titions to the House, calling for redress in cases of in-
clividual injury. He thought this transaction savoured
very much of a job : it was somewhat singular that
Exeter had given more work to the Commissioners of
Charitable Institutions than any other ten places in
the kingdom.
Alter a few words from Mr. Cohn rtNAY, Mr.
