OILMAN JEWS.-
.
Mr. Marne' Laid, he had a Petition in his
hand from the German Jews refident in London.
It would not be necetrary for him at that time to
enlarge upon the nature of this Petition ; it would
be funicient for him to [late, that the objea of it
was to enable the Petitioners, by taxing themfelves,
to raife a fund for the maintenance of their own
Poor.

The Petition was then delivered in and read : it
(fated, that within the laft p years the number of
German Jews had greatly increafed in this metro-
polis, and that many of them were in low and in
digent circumilances : and although they were, in
common with the ref of their fellow fubjeds, en-
titled to parochial relief, yet, from particular te-
nets and rotes of their religion, they were pre-
vented from deriving any benefit or relief from
the Workhoufes : that the fame canfes alto flint
them out from the Hofpitals. and prevented them 1
from putting out their children to ufeful trades.
The confequence of this was, that there was no
afylum for the indigent part of their community.,
or for thofe who from age or inners were unable to
earn their bread : that the relief afforded from
the Synagogue was very inadequate for thefe par-
poles; and therefore the Petitioners humbly re-
prefented, that it would be produ&ive of great
advantage if the German Jews in the Metropolis
were allowed, by taxing themfelves, to raife a
fund for thefe object s. It concluded with praying
for an Ad of Parliament for there purpofes.
Mr. Timmer Paid, that at prefent he fhould
do no more than mows that the Petition fhould lie
on the table. He. mould, at a future period, move
to refer it to a Committee, and afterwards move
for leave to bring in a Bill.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
CONTAGIOUS DISMISS&

Mr. Wizszaroace rote to call the attention of
the Houfe to a fubje.a which appeared to him to
be of great importance. It was a Petition from
Dr. Carmichael Smith, who appeared to him,
from the fans fet forth in the Petition, to have a
Ilrong claim to the confideration of the Houk.—
ThisOentleman had been fortunate enough, in the
courfe of his medical refearches, to difcover a re-
medy which cured and prevented the circulation
of Contagious Fevers— si remedy fo efficacious, that
it very fpeedily checked the ravages of that conta-
gious fever which lately appeared at Seville, in
Spain I and if the fame remedy had been nfed for
the fame diforder at Cadiz, many lives would have
been fared. In bringing forward this Petition,
he felt that he was difcharging his duty to the
Public, as well as to Dr. Smith ; becaufe, though
Parliament ought undoubtedly to be cautions of
the expenditure of the public money, yet it could
not be laid out to more advantage than by encou-
raging perfons from whofe labours and talents the
Public derived the greaten benefits. It mull be
admitted that many inventions and difcoveries,
from which mankind reaped the greaten advan-
tage, were of a nature not to make any pecuniary
return to the perfon whore time and talents had
been employed upon them; and upon this fidget%
that the national liberality was not fo great as it
ought to be. But if this dikovery was as benefi-
cial as it was reprefented to be, the Houk, he was
Pure, would make him Tome compenfation, and
by doing fo, they would not only reward the Peti-
tioner, but, by fetting the Ramp of their Ruth°•
rity upon this invention, they would snake it more
extenfively beneficial. For his own part, he had
ken fufficient evidence to convince him that this
was a moll important dikovery, and had done
much for the prefervation of the health of our.
Soldiers and Sailors, who were unavoidably often
ezpofed to contagious &orders. He thonld
propore to refer this Petition to a Committee, who
would have an opportunity of examining into the
merits of this dikovery. This Petition being for
public money, the content of Government was
'weary previous to its being brought up.
Mr. Beacon faid, that in the brought
of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was authorized
to content to the prefenting of this Petition, upon
the ground Rated by the Hon. Gentleman, that
it should be referred to a Committee whether the
beneficial effelts of this dikovery were as great as
had been reprefented.
The Petition, which was of confiderable length,
Rated the happy ere& which had been experi-
enced in cafes of Contagious Fevers, from the rife
of nitrous acid, Sic.—Referred to a Committee.
