A Melage from the Lads announced. theft Lonlthipe concur-
rence to the Malt and Petition Duty Bills, with an amendment to
the latter. The Houk forthwith refolved lobo a Committee to
take the laid amendment intweonfieleration.
Mr. SPEAKER Paid, it was his duty to explain to the Houle
the uature of the amendment made by the Lords, which was
merely the infertlon of the word " tax" after the word " land," in
one of the paragraph.. It had always, he fald, been the ufage of
that Houk to regard with extreme vigilance any amendments
made by the Houle rat Lords in any Ad of the nature of a money
Bill, and to rej.d, with the molt fcrupulous rigour, any amend-
man which tended to trench upon the exclave privilege of that
Houk. even in the flighteit degree by altering any part of the fub-
fiance of loch Bills. Trivial as an alteration might fometimes ap-
pear, yet it was of high Importance to attend even to the molt
trifling; for if any at: Janina Mould be admitted to palinft might
grow into a precedent, the eonfequences of which none could tell,
In cafes, howaetr, where the alteration went merely to the cor-
redion of a clerical error, the Houk had not uftially thought it
recency to ri jeer the amendment. Of this defeription Racily
was the prefent amendment.

too touch importance to be allowed to pal's. !Tad the iufertion been
of almoft any other word than Los, the amendment might pars as
imobjectiimaldc.

able Baronet that it had net been the ufage cf the Houk to reject
amendments, rot altering the fuhttance of a money Bill.hut mere-
ly conceding .t error, which the prefent amendment only
went to do, and that ia a paragraph reefing a former Ad of Par-
liament. Even in his own tart et.p.i:ence, man/ inftances had
occurred wherein limilar amonimente had pallid without objee-
thin. In the cAe. for inftance, of As /L..* per Cetltum., when the
word p.r became a neceffary amendment. The prefent Bill too
flood, as now amended. in the original copy, and the error was
in. r •ly an amiiSon by the ingroffing Clerk.
'1 he amendment was agreed to, and a meffage fent to the Lords
to acquaint their Lordfhips thereof.
