The Duke of CLARENCE, faid that the Tuition
was not whether the Bill was necetfary, bat whether
they Mould pars it without Inquiry. The Noble Sc.
cretary (poke of his veneration for the Habeas Cor-
pus, and yet in his anion fporied with it in the troll
wanton manner. What had Minißers been doing
for the fix weeks that Parliament had fat, not to
bring in this nsoft important Bill in time to allow
the Houfe to difchargc their duty to the country?
Earl LIMERICK. went at Tome length into a
flatement to thew the argent nature of the tneaftwe,
and Paid, that even mercy to the peafantry of Ire-
' land demanded that they &cold pats this Bill, to
protell them from the machinations to which they
were fubjett.
• The Earl of DARNLEY was averfe from grant-
ing fuch a power to any lit of Mitsitlers, and to the
prefeni leaft of all—For it was known that they were
totally divided among themfelves as to the treatment
of the Irith people. One let of them had gone out
of office exprefsly becaufe they could not obtain for
the Irith what they thought they deferred, and what
would keep them loyal. The other had come in on
the exprefs condition of withholding from the Irith
this boon. Could he give to fuch men this tremen-
dous At without inquiry ?
Earl LIMERICK explained.
Lord AUCKLAND declared his conviction of
the neceffity of the Bill, and at the fame time could
not figure any objeltion as to the propriety of dif.
charging the two (landing orders of the Houfe,
which, tntlead of being an infringement, was in itfelf
a recognition of their privileges remaining in full
force.
Lord GRENVILLE raid, that the Bill went to in-
fringe greatly upon the liberty of the fubjeft. For-
merly an inforreition was the excufe, but there could
not be any fudden infirrreßion now. If there were
any, why did not his Majefly's Minifers bring for-
• ward Come mean of precaution during the whole
five weeks that Parliament had been fitting, inflead
of adopting a plan ro highly objeitionable as the pre.
fent one, which nothing but the molt indifpenfable
neceffity could jellify. He raw with furrow an at-
tempt to infringe upon the rules of the Houk. He
thought it would be more manly and fincere to pars
Inch a Bill through the Houk in the ufual manner,
without hurrying it on without due confideration, and
informing ourfelves of its real neceffity. His Lord-
!hip, in a concife fpeech, went over the fame grounds
that had been formerly urged againti the Bill.
Lord MULGRAVE thought it remarkable, that
• while all their Lordthips on the other fide of the
Houfe had expelled their determination not to op-
pore the bill, they Rill withed to objet to the only
martin that was calculated to give it due and time-
ly ate. He was particularly alloniffied that the
Noble Lord who (peke lag, mould blame Milkers
for entrufting the fafety of Ireland to the chance of
the winds and waves, while he himfelf wilbed, by in-
terpofing delays, to add to the dangers to be from
thence expefied. But fill more was he aftonithed to
hear that Noble Lord recommend to the Govern-
ment of Ireland an infringement on the law of the
land ; while be himfelf was to much afraid of a de-
parture from a Rending order of that Honk, even
when it was fought to be difcharged in virtue of ano-
ther order of the Houk equally binding.
The quettion was then put, that the two Standing
Orders, 26 and 135, be difcharged.
On this (ruffian the Houfe divided—Contents 41—
Non Contents 13—Majority 28.
The Houk then went into a Committee on the Bill,
when the Duke of Ccasssics moved, as an Amend-
ment, inftend of the words 4, do continue for the fpace
of fix weeks ear the iseetiq of thensext Seem of Parlia-
ment." the worth after the date of the paps ofthis
This Amendment was negatived without a divifion.
The other clanfes were then gone through ; the
Report way received ; the Bill was read a third time ;
paired ; and a Methge to that effee ordered to be
fete to the Commons.—Adjourned.
