THE CIMILAL INCLOSUIti BILL.

The Report of the General Inclolure Bill was
brought up, and, on the quettion that it be read a
third time,

Lord CA It RI N °Tow rote to inform the Houfe, as
mauy Noble Lords appeared adverfe to the Bill
being carried through during the prefent Seffion,
it was his intention to withdraw it. His Lordfhip
then began to enter into the merits of the Bill,
when he was called to order by ,
The Bifhop of Roc M UM, Who obferved, that
the Bill was to be withdrawn, and it was irregular
to leak when there was no queftion before the
Houfe.
Lord CARRINGTON replied, that it was neceffary
for hint to Rate his rearms for moving to have the
Bill withdrawn, and alto to mention the reafonswhy
the Bill itfelf 11;d been thought neceffary. He then
entered into a defence of the meafure of enclofing
and improving all the Waite Lands throughout the
kingdom, as abfolutely neceffary to prevent the re-
currence of fcarcity ; and he gave notice that next
fieffion he Would bring it forward again.
Lord Rosstva Paid, he had had many objeltions
to the Bill, nuift of which had been removed by
the amendments which had been introduced into
it; he Rill thought the Bill required great cori-
deration. •
Lord Gus t 4 vitr.l faid,that,fofar from the rights
of the Church being infringed on by this Bill, they
were rather proteacti ; becaufe the Bill pofitively
Rated, that the coition of the Patron, Ordinary,
and Bifhop were neceffary ; whereas no Enclofure
Bill ever before made loch a provifton ; although
furl contents had been obtained in ftparate Bills of
Enclofure, they were never before legalized.
The Bifhop of Roca Ivrea replied, that it had
conflantly beck cullomary to have fuch confent,
and miaow .eonftituted law. He conceived the
Bill likely to be injurious to the Church, and the
property of many individuals ; but as it was to be
Withdrawn, he would not then difcufs the merits
of its ghoft. •
Lord ROMNIT fapported the meafure, whith he
confidered as necelfary, if it was for no other rea-
fon than that of faring the irnmenfe expences in-
curred by individuals who applied for feparate
Bills of Incbafure. He knew 1501 paid to a Clerk
of one of the Houfes for bufinefs relating to an En-
clofure Bill, which did not take up much 'more'
than an flour.
The Loan CWANCILLOR Paid, the Clerk of that
Houfe received ao fees.
Lord KOMORI (aid he did not allude to the
Clerk of that Houle.
Lord Tx exam, (poke a few weeds againft the
Bill.
The Loan CHANCILLOR (aid, he could Mt fuf.
' fer the Bill to Le difmilfed, without raying, tliat
If it pat Ted into a law, it would infringe on moR
of the private property in the kingdom.
Lord CARKINGIIIN then-moved, that the Bill be
read a third dote on this day two months; which
was agreed to.
ACUTCII MILITIA.
Lord Hosea? moved the Order of the Day, for
4e. k. re.committhent of the Bill for the better re:
ation of the Scotch Militia, which being done.
• Lordilip-obferved, that when the fubjea was
Taft debated, tWo objeitions had keen flirted to
the Bill, which, according to his belt opinidlt, net
only did not appfar of that magnitude, which No-
ble Lords who Rated them, imputed to them, but
which in his mind, were wife and political. He
alluded firft, to that dance which permitted Offi-
ten of the Scotch Militia to rank at Courts Mar-
tial with Ofticers of the Englith Militia. With re-
gard to that, Paid his LordThip, it was introduced
dt the fpeciac defire of Officers commanding his
Majefty's trots, in Scotland, who uniformly com-
plained, that When Courts Martial were required
to be held in regiments of the Scotch Militia, there
were not found Officers fufficient to conftitute fuch
Courts Martial, and this claufe was deviled to
remedy that defect, at their dtreCt inftance and re.
queft, The other objeCtion was, as to the words
44 whereas doubts, etc." Now, upon a due con.
lidetation of that, he had no hefitation in faying, ,
that there the objeltion lay, and that the -cleat
Mould and ought to be expunged. As to the
former caufe of objeCtion, although it did not ex.
aely concur, with his opinion, yet be aclower-
ledge4 that it had Tome weighs with. hint, Itihat
be rsSeclied from what quarter it came, and when
Me be eimfidered the motive of that objeaion.
His Lordfltip concluded by moving, " that tbefc
two chitties fltould be wlthdrawn,' in which the

Houk having agreed, they were withdrawn ac-
cordingly.—The Bill then vent through the Com-
mittee, and the Report was ordered to be takes'
into confideration on Monday nest.
• TR% CII.IIIWV.
Lord Tauasow moved that a rnefTage le fent
to the Commons, requefting, that Houle to corn-
sounid.ttc to their Lordfhips the two Reports of
the Selea Committee of that Houfe relative to
the ineligibility of Cler&yrnen to have feats in Par-
lament. On the queltion being put,
The Marquis of Stldp faid, that he had much
:tithed that by the Handing orders of both Houfes
thatreciprocity of communication of fentiments,
which would afford filch general information on
every fubjed, to be debated, that Noble Lords
would have no longer to complain of being unac-
quainted with the Cubjed of difaason, when each
would have an opportunity of fatisfying himfelf
upon that head.
The Lord Cm awctsioa acknowledged there
was much force in the obfervations of the Noble
Marquis, and, as far as it applied to the motion
then before the Houk, it was well. How Far they
