Board of eis, for manufacturing and, vending the same; but
that, in consequence of a representation made to the Chancellor

main which was afforded by the manufacture of this Powder,
psdgments on the prosecutions were suspended, and the Right
Yam Gentleman declared that it was nut the intention of the

tinue the manufacture of the Powder, but recently was threat-

Mr. JAMES presented a Petition from James Broadhurst
and another, confined in Lancaster Jail, complaining that letters
written by them, and letters received by them, whether from
their dearest friends or Members of Parliament, were opened
by the jailor of that prison, contrary, as they thought, to the
rights of the subject, as well as in violation of the privileges of
' that House, so far as the lettersof its Members were concerned.
He had already given notice of a motion for bringing this sub-
ject before the House on the sth of March, but as it involved a
question of privilege, and as he ultderstood that be was at liberty
to bring such questions before the House at any time, he should
now give notice that he would bring the matter forward on
Monday r- It.
The- SPEAKER iodinated that it was the practice of the I
House, founded on the principle of general convenience, that
when a notice of motion was given for a particular day, such a
motion was not tube brought on before that day. It might be
postponed to a future day by subsequent notice, but the House
would see the propriety of upholding the rule that prohibited
a Member from accelerating a motion.
After a short explanation between the Right Hon. Gentle-
man and the Hon. Member, the latter said be would leave the
notice as it already stood, untouched, and then gave notice that
on Monday he would move that the Petition now presented be
taken into consideration.—The Petition was then brought up,
read, and laid on the table.
