A

er grounds of objection, after what had been to
aiil y Rated by his Right Hon. and Learned Friend,
it was not necefrary for him to detain the Houfe.—
This was not an Eleftion Committee, where it was
required that the Members fhould be prefent during
may moment of the proceedins. and if he were-
not refitting the motion of the Hon. Gentleman, he
fhould now have been propofing a quorum for the
Committee, to render Inch conflant attendance whol-
ly unnecefrary. Would Gentlemen then fay, that
liecaille tome Members, from their other important
duties. could not devote the whole of their time
to
Inch an enquiry, that they were never to be nomina-
ted upon Committees, and were to be excluded from
1, effential a branch of their Parliamentary func-
,.ions ? What would be the confequence ? Thofe
Nolons who were belt acquainted with the bufinefs of
`finance would be precluded from fitting on Commit.
tee, in that important department ; throe belt verfed
in legal lubieas would be prevented from giving the
:ffitiance of their learning in juridical invelligatms;
Inrif,: who were moll informed on the great political
iuterells of States, would be incapacitated from af-
fording their light on that important branch of en-
oitiry, and thus the country would be deprived of
aLe benefit of that mats of talent, the application of
which would be moll conducive to its glory and hap-
iiinefs. Then it was Paid that the Houle was to look
to whist the public expelled of it (a .cry of Hear,
jaw.) The Houk certainly was to attend to what
the public Oulu to expeCt, and that would be the
bell indicated • y a calm, firm, and refolute difcharge
of its duty. Bat a party cry, which affinned to it-
{cif the voice of the people, was not to be millaken
for the popular fentiment, in order to annihilate the
acknowledged privileges of a Member of the Legit-
lature. There were examinations proceeding on the
general principles of ju ft; ce ; every honourable man
was therefore a fit Member of Such Committees; the
joint to lent of the Houle, when colletteil, would rooft
effermally conduce to the elucidation of truth. Was
the int rodtation of one party only the belt way to
oroorre a fair, and tale exclution of the contrary fide
the moll probable means of obtaining a wife decition?
Undo e influence ought not to be employed '(a loud
cry of hear, hear, from the optofitepe of the floe ff.)—
but :t fay, that to fuggeß a lift *to the infpeCtion of a
Mend cr was the life Of %indite influence, teemed an
allerti an not .at all correB, because it could by no
mean s be difccivered if the party had or had not rot
ed ace ording to that intin.ation. The matter on- the
whoh : appeared to him to plain, that he felt it dif .
colt t o vindicate himself for Speaking In king ; but
his lc: Kling defire was to rescue the Wink and its pro-
ceedit from the imputation which had been unjultly
direct cd againft both.
Mr . SHERIDAN laid, there was a warmth in-
trrnler 1 into the difctiflion, which did not belong to it.
The r cal queßion was, which fide of the Houle molt
conch iced to fupport the charalier of the Houle, and
to fit 'fil the jull expeEtations of the public. In tome
degrt e the Right Honourable Gentleman teemed to
have; t entre& notion of the fubjeit, but in order to
jufti6 • himfelf, he prefumed to call the opinion of
the n ation a party cry. Were the Refolutions of
the Ci ty of London a party cry ? Were the meetings
all ovi :r the kingdom a party cry ? %Vas the vote of
the H oufe of Commons, fupported by the indepen-
dent fl Brit of its Speaker, a party cry ? It ought to
' be knee .wn that the time was at hand, when it was
necefli ry to encourage the friends of the State, by
the lot id voice of the people. The Gentlemen on his
fide of • the Houfe did not challenge the individuals
propel -ed for the Committee without caufe. They
tly laid, no one holding a place under the
Crovrt.a, is a proper perfon to examine the conduit of
the Fsi eft Lord of the Treafury. ( diery of hear, kfar
They i raid, a perfon like the Noble Lord, who had
fince e Union aated with the hlinifier, went out with
him, ea n se again into office with him, and remained
to open a back door for the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman' s admiiEon, is not a fit man to be employed
on filch an Decal-lon. Perhaps, the ire amoiairon, of
which Gernlomen had heard within tilde few hours,
rendered him, if poilibk, yet more objeCtionable.—
C..ould At then be Paid (he would repeat the queition)
that nc • 'Caufe was &earn for the challenge ? It was
exarent elzr futpicionii, that the &it perfon proposed by
his Ho loam-able Friend (Mr. Whitbread), being a
panic as of the Minillers, thould be refitted, and the
prop( Seim for the ballot immediately fucceed. The
Right Honourable Gentleman fsid, Shall I be
Strippi id of my Wendt ; is no perfon in office, no one
comet :led with spe to appeia in the Committee ?" It
was n of required that no colleague in place Should
be oni the Committee, bat it was demanded. that the
Memb en should not be pcftered with Treafury lifts.
CouIR the Right Honourable G. ntleman not trait to
the lea gue of private affeaion, andll his confidence
were lieficient there, could he not repute in the ex-
pedati on, that, for the many favours received, and
the satiny More in reveraon, hi' coratilions would
not be ,unmindful of his feeurity ? It was not fair to
lay. the exclullon, on tome important (locations, of
perfons in place, was unknown to our law ; this was
the.cate under the circumftanccs of appointing Com-
anittees on delinquency in the Eaft Indies. Who
brought in the Bill by which Ibis was enacted ? Lard
Melville. This was the public reformer who was to
lately libelled by the Houle of Commons ; this was
the man who was Chairman of the Committee, and
who profecuted the unfortunate delinquents with ex-
traordinary feverity. But this was not an Indian dc•
lingua% it was the parka advanced to the head of
ties King's Government. Huse epoch more expe-
then was it, that this great Officer of State, if
Should not be proteaed by the companions in
/;is crones. The Right Honourable Gentleman for.
2ot hiaotelf. He (Mr. Sheridan) told him he was
himfelf upon his trial,but he replied, that there was
no charge, no report againft him. The Right. Ho-
nourable Gentleman pefcribed three things, which
the Committee were en try,. and it was extremely
unlucky ;that in all three he himfelf has impli-
cated. The fiat was, if he had authentic informa-
tion of the purpole for which the money was drawn
fait (that was, if the Firfl Lord of the Treafury had
fuch intelrgence of the proceeding of Lord Melville
and Mr. Trotter ?) The fecund was, if the money
's witherawn fur the purpotes for which it was
and applied to the delicate fervices which had
1; adverted to? It was curious to fee a perfon put
t? Cocrunittee, of whom it was (aid he had cor•
:;'? %I the Irith Parliament. If he would comma
is- ora‘c.cices with regard to one Legiflature, his in-
' it...a a !: leap would not be deficient to do the

•
fame to another. On this charge of the rniapplka-
r.tion of the money, the Right Honourable Gentleman
was to be tried, and if it fhould be found that the
File Lord of the Treafury authorized fuch condua,
it would be no wonder W the fubalterns in office took
advantage of it to erred their own purpofes. The
third regarded the di(charge given to Lord Melville,
on account of the defalcation of Mr. Jellicoe. Was
it not then molt obvious, that the Right Honourable
Gentleman's purity was the queftion to he determin-
ed in all theft ? Then his Honourable Friend very
naturally enquired, what would a man of honour du
if placed in fuch an unhappy predicament ? The
Right Honourable Gentleman, when the fubje was
(tarred, made no objection to the Committee ; he
felt himfell In clofely touched, In fore when his con-
dua was doubted, that he would have the matter
fully examined, and (to tile his own words) he
would have it lifted to the bottom. Then faid his
friend truly, a man of honour, in loch a difpofition,
would have no concern with, if poffible, no know
ledge of the parties by whom the enquiries were to
be profecated. But what was the cootie of the
Right Honourable Gentleman ? He raid, " I will
prefcribe the line of your march. I will anpoint the
commanders in the field." He drew up the indict-
ment by whichhe was to he arraigned, and then no-
minated the jury before whom he was to be tried.—
He would tell the Right Hon. Gentleman, in fuch
a proceeding he had not conlulted his own honour;
the People of England would be difappointed, and
they were entitled- to a fair, full, and impartial in-
vefligation.
Mr. HENRY LASCELLES hoped the Hon.
Geatleman (Mr.Whitbread) did not mean to include
him among the perfons on the ballotted Committee
to whom he objected.
Mr. WHITBREAD—" The Hcnourable Gen-
tleman may be confident I had no objeaion to his
name, as I alked his permiffion to include him in the
lift I myfelf prepared."
Mr. H. LASCELLES—At You did fo."
Mr. SHERIDAN role to explain.
Mr. FULLER made feveral oblervations on the
appointment of the Committee. He laid, if the Mat-
ter, of the Rolls was always quibbling in another
place as he was here, he would not give a farthing
for his arguments.
The SPEAKER reminded the Hon. Member that
he was fpeaking of an abfent Member.
Mr. FULLER—" Well, well, he laid, he would
rather aft from perfonal affeftion. I fay public mo-
tives ought to prevail over private feelings."
Mr. CANNING at fume length vindicated the
mode of feleaing the Committee by ballot, as the
molt conftitutional, and confillent with Parliamen-
tary order; while that recommended by the Hon.
Member who introduced the prefent motion, by at-
, tempting to vote for each Member feparately, while
it would have the eCeEt of exciting perfonal afperities
and vexatious divifionr, was of a nature the molt
likely to produce the very evil which the Honourable
Member profeffed to prevera ; for if any Miniller were
interefted in fuch a queftion, and polfeffed any un-
due influence in that Houle, which could by pollibi-
lity operate upon the nomination of a Committee,
the mode propelled by the Hon. Member was precifely
that which was heft calculated to fecure the ohjea of
fuch a Minifler, and enfure the nomination of aCom-
mittee, fuch as he might chufe to point out, by de.
prising the members he might be fuppofed to influ-
ence, of any private or contcientious difcretion they
were at liberty to ufe in private, by the mode of bal-
lotting by lifts, in which any alteration they might
chide to make could never be ,lilcovered, but of which
dile:Trion they mull be deprived by voting openly.
He pointedly condemned the language in which the
lion. Member had fpoken of the Committee, but was
glad to hear the perfonal refpeft he had expreffed in
his explanation for its Members individually. That
explanation he was lure the Houle was pleated to
hear ; but the Hon. Member could not make full
amends for the obloquy he had thrown out without at
lealt retracting the terms he had ufed 4 for what Gen
tleman mutt not feel hurt at being pointed out as a
member of a packed jury.• It had been laid that Lord
Melville was now totally withdrawn, and that his
Right Hon. Friend was now become the fubjea of
enquiry ; but in transferring enquiry from Lord Mel-
ville to his Right Hnn. Friend, Gentlemen oft the
other fide of the Houle travelled beyond the original
intentions of the Houle. The enquiry was inftituted
as an enquiry of jultice, and not of party. The de-
cifion of the Houle had, however, accidentally
thrown a weapon into their hands, with which they
now fought to attack his Right Hon. Ft fend ; but he
confided that the majority of that Houle, who law
the 'drift of their proceedings, would not give them
countenance.

Mr. JEKYLL adverted to the companions which
had been made by Honourable Members near him
(Mr. Fox and Mr. Sheridan), and a Right Honour-
able Gentleman oppolite to him (Mr. Pitt) between
the propofed Committee and a Jury, and the privi-
lege of challenging the pannel. There was another
privilege of challenge eftablifhed in the jurifprudence
of this country, which was that of challenging the
array ; for it was a maxim in the Courts of Juftice,
that no Officer of Juitice, nor any perfon officiahy
concerned, or having any authority in the tummon-
ing of Juries, fhould interfere in felcdting the pannel
upon any trial in which they were intereaed, one way
or the other. The maxim in this cafe, (Iron& ap-
plied to the nomination of the prefent Conimittet ;
for nothing could be more incontinent with the prin.
ciples.of plaice and jurifprudence than that the Right
Hon. Gentleman, whole own condua was to be the
fubjeft of itiveffigation, and poffeffing the influence
he did, fhould be allowed to name, or to recommend
the perfons who we►e to compote the Jury that was
to make drat invenigation. It would, on the con-
trary, have been no snore than continent with the
ufual decorum of that Houfe, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman, whole condua was the lubjeft of ditto!.
lion, fhould withdraw while it was pending, And Of-
fer no interference that could be fuppofed collate any
influence over the deciflons of the Houle.
Mr. WINDHAA laid. that it was his intention to
propofe that his name fhould be (truck off from this
Committee, upon nearly the fame grounds that the
Noble Lord who was the tubjea of the motion, was,
in his opinion, ineligible, namely, the friendly and in-
timate intercoarft which he had had with the Right
Hon. Gentleman, whole condua was to be invel
tigated. It was a duty which he did not with to un-
dertake. As to the nature of the Committee it ought,

in his lodgment, to be compofed, not merely of im-
partial unprejudiced perfons, but of thole who would
be zealous and aftive in their refearches, who would
in fad be a vigorous and accufing Committee. They
fhould not, as fome Gentlemen recommended, cnnfilt
of a certain number of Members from each fide of
the Houfe--of a mere junftion of the fall and alkali,
to neutralize the vigour and refolution that was ne-
ceffary to probe this important cafe to the bottom.—
The Committee was not meant for judicial decilion,
but to colleft and bring forth all the grounds for a
charge—to be fubmitred to the confederation of the
Houle. Was it not then fingular that tile very per-
fon accufed, °you'd himfelf nominate the Committee
that was to examine the grounds of the accufation ?
When a friend was thus appointed to purfue fuch ex-
amination, he mull be rather a lturdy misralift to
ufe the neceffary diligence in order to Peek out
fads likely to lead to convielion. The trial was too
fevere for any man to fubmit to, and the confidence
Ai as too much for the Moak to rep fc. It was a
trial which he was not willing to encounter. He
once aged with the Right Honourable Gentleman,
although he now difagreed with him ; and, indeed,
to (peak correEllv, he did not even when he appeared
to aft with the Right Honourable Gentleman entire-
ly agree with him. The agreement was rather com-
parative than abfolute—rather with reference to the
fentiments of thofe then oppofed to the Right Hon.
Gentleman, and with whom he (Mr. W.) now con-
curred, than from a complete coincidence in the views
entertained by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Still his
connection with the Right Hnn. Gentleman had been
fuch that he did not with to be a Member of a Com-
mittee appointed to arraign his conduct In confi
dering the powers with which this Committee was
yelled, combined with the perfons of which it was
compofed, he really did not think it was calculated
to give fatisfaftion to the country. And however
little he might be (Hoofed to enforce a devoted re-
verence for public opinion on points of peace and war,
upon which, what was called the public, was gene-
rally incompetent to judge ; yet upon fuch an occa-
lion as Las, he would maintain, that the opinion of
the Public was entitled to peculiar attention. The
reafonable fufpicions of the Public fhould be guarded
againft, without any regard to prejudice or malig-
nity. As Dr. Johnfisn laid refpeCting the partizans
of the antiquity of Offian's Poems, that although
they could not faesafy unreafonable incredulity, they
' fhould provide againtl reafonable objedlion. It wa.
the duty and intexelt of the Houfe to preferve itfelf
from fufpicion in any part of its proceedings upon
this delicate queftion. If the Committee were to be
conftrated according to ptefent appearances, his
conviction really was, that although the condemna-
tion of the party accufed by Inch a Committee might
have weight, their acquittal would have no weight
at all (a cry of hear, Lear !) He conjured the Houle
to take fuch a courfe as fhould fatisfy the public, and
this was a phrafe which, ufed too generally, would
rather befit a tea-garden than a great and grave al-
lembly ; but, it was a fit addrefs to the Houfe on
this occafion. The public was the party to be fatis-
fied, for it was the property of the public that had
, been mifapplied. If obliged by the vote of the
Houfe to become a Member of this Committee, un-
der its prefent • conllit ution paitkillatly, he declared
that he Ihould enter into it with difgult.
Lord CASTLEREAGH conceived this motion
not to be fo much perfonal to him, as directed against
the decilion of the Houfe, which had thought proper
to appoint him a Member of this Committee; and it
was for the Houfe to confider of the propriety of re-
fcinding that decilion. As to the objeCtions that had
been made to him on the ground of his former poli-
tical life, it was remarkable that the Honourable
Mover dwelt upon that part of his conduit in which
he happened to differ from his Right Hon. Friend in
his public conduct. That part certainly made againft
the general argument of the Honourable Mover, as
to his unfitnefs to inveftigate the condo& of his Right
Honourable Friend. The Noble Lord adverted to
the charge advanced againft his proceedings relative
to the Union. But, upon the whole of that tranfaftion,
he refiefted with fatisFaetion, and with regard to the
affertion of his Right Hon. Friend, (Mr. Fuller),
which had been quoted by the Honourable Gentle.
man, it was never ufed in the tenet in which Honour-
ble Gentlemen profeffed to unite:46nd it ; for if his
Right Honourable Friend really believed him to have
corruptly appliA the public money for the purple
of carrying the Union, his Right Hon. Ft lend knew '
his duty too well, not to make it the fubjed of pub-
lic impeachment. The Noble Lord exhorted the
Houfe to weigh well the motives of action which ap-
peared to direft the other fide of the Houfe. Thole
Honourable Gentlemen, and particularly the Honour-
able Gentleman who took the lead among them,
praifed the Houfe only when it faked their views, and
he trutled the fate of Parliament would never be
committed to the direftion of that Hon. Gentleman,
who, to fay the leap of him, abandoned Parliament
at a period of unexampled difficulty and peril. The
Hon. Gentleman then negleaed his higheft duty. He,
for his part, rather wished to look prolpeeively to the
coedit& of Gentlemen, and not to re-open old fotuces
of difcord; but if lion. Gentlemen were determined to
look back, he had no objeftion to follow them, and he
had no helitation in raying, that he faw nothing in
any of the connections of that Hon. Gentleman that
was likely fo to neutralize Isis opinians as to induce
him to think that it would be tight to trult the fate
of the cour.try to his direction.
Mr. GREY confidered the obfervatinns diforderly
in the extreme with which the Noble Lord had con-
cluded, namely, that hit Honourable Friend (Mr.
Fox) was in the habit of praifing the conduct of that
Hunk only when it fuited his own views and became
the itilteument of his ambition. This he was lure
was not only to fppak incorreftly with reference to
the Orders of the Houk, but inconfiltently with
truth. With retina to the inflance cited by the No-
ble Lord in support of his affertion, he had no objec-
tion at any time to go into a diltuffion of all the cir-
cumltances which led to that abOinence from attend-
ing the meetings of that Houfe on a former occafion,
which was fo much the fubjed of cenfure. It was
Orange, however, that the Gentlemen on the other
fide thould at one time complain of him and his ft lends
for abfenting themfelves from the Houk, and now
complain of their condo& in attending. In leaving
the Houfe on the occafion alluded to, they relieved
the Right Hon. gentleman from being thwarted by
any oppolition, and left him in pc-dation of uncon
'routed power. How he had ulcd that ih.wer—
'

how he had juflified the liberal hopes of the country,
and the confiding fentianents of the Houfe, he would
not now difcufs. But referring to the fubjed before
the Houfe, he would afk whether, in the conflitutio
of this Committee, which was meant to invetligate
the alledged delinquency of the &If Miniller of the
Crown, it was proper to feted one of his own eel-
leagues to become a Member of that Committee, one
who mull naturally infer. that the conviction of the
perfon accufed would immediately produce the re.
dation of his own power ? Was it proper to appoi,.r
the Noble Lord, who might Itimfeh be implicated in
the milappropt iation of money which was complaine.
of? The Noble Lord had been charged
in that Houfe with having corruptly a ppiied
public money in Ireland, for the purpoie of (ilea
ing the Union. To this charge the Noble Lord
never made even a dillinef deni,ll, but. he appc;,i,d
truly to the candour of the honk., that no man avoid
be compelled to anfwer a queition of that nature, or
that his filence should nor be-argued to imply guilt.
Then the Noble Lord fhelteted liirole!f under a litni-
lar plea to that which availed fo much to the heroes
of the Tenth Report. When then public corruption
was the fobjed to be enquired into, was it ratinnut
that a perfou (]could be appointed to condo& loch in-
quiry, who was hiinfelf charged with public co. nip-
tion ? To prefs the appointment of loch a perfon matt
imprefs the public, who were particularly anxious
upon this lubjtel, with an idea that it was deligned
to render the enquiry altogether eloloty. If :he mode
of appointing the Committee, which was recommen-
ded by his Hon. Friend, had been adopted—if the
Members had been nominated by the open vote of the
houfe, he had no doubt that even the Right Hon.
Gentleman on the oppoftte bench (Mr. Pitt). would
not attempt to propofe the perfon whom i: was the
object of the motion before the houfe to remove. lie
called upon the houfe not to facolion an appointment
that mutt produce a mon injut ions inference abroad,
with refped to the character of the houfe. As to the
character of the Right Hon. Gentleman, he fliould
fay nothing. He would put all idea of perfonal deli
cacy with refped to him nut of the quellion, as the
Right Hon. Gentleman hiinidf appeared to feel no
degree of perfonal delicacy upon this occalion.
The ATTORNEY GENERA Lobferved, that the
Honourable Gentleman who had fpokcn halt, had ex-
preifed himfelf with great wound), in defence of his,
political fri-nds. In his opinion that part of their
political lift 1. tiich they thought fit to abllain from
attending their lauty in the Houfe of Commons eva, not
very honourable or advantageous to their charader.
It was a period when their attendance and advice be-
came the more =dray, on account of the difficulties
of the times, and the great expediency of vigorous •
and united meafures. The prefent grunion, it was
true, was not fo decided but it might be altered
The Houfe had preferred proceeding on a ballot.
The next queltion was, what fort of a Committee
would you chonfe? The Right Hon. Gentleman op.
polite (Mr. Windham) laid, you have an occult's
Committee, which would undoubtedly have been et-
fated by the lilt offered the other night by the Hun.
Gentleman. He contended, that the Houfe wanted
an impartial, enlightened, and enquiring Committee
(a cry of Hear, Hear, Bear .9 With regard to the bal-
lot. there would be found three excellencies in that
mode of proceeding : ill. They would avriid the in-
convenience attending a debate; z. It would be found
that the names have been (elated from both fides of
the Houfe; 3d. This mode was the belt calculated
to avoid improper influence. A Committee of zea-
lous perfous, chofen from both fides tll the Houle,
was the bell adapted for colleting evidence and fads.
The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Windham) who
entertained fcruples about laving on the Committee;
was one of the propereft men that could be feleded.
No want of zeal was to be attributed to him, but he
was an epitome of all good qualities. He could not
be laid to have a very good feeling towat ds the per-
fon accused ; hut he was acute in his feelings of pri-
vate fi icndfhip, and would no doubt make thefe qua.-
lities go hand in hand.
Mr. WINDHAM, in explanation, flated, that he
did not use the words alluded to by the Right. Hon.
Gentleman in the fide attributed to him. Wien he
made ufe of the phrafe r. accufing Committee," he
did not mean that it was to be tit compofed as the
Learned Gentleman imagined : it was not his with
to exclude impartiality from it, although he wished
that the more valuable qualities of refearch, intelli-
; Bence, and invelligatien, fliould be amply difcovered
in it.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL explained.
Mr. R. THORNTON allured the Hon. Gentle.
man lie had no difpofition to Icreen delinquency, or
to cover guilt. On the contrary, he had voted on
the first night againft Lord Melville, and might do
fo again if any criminating matter fhould appear
againd him, or againft any other perfon ; but he did
wit agree with Gentlemen of Oppofition, that the
lilt of the Committee was improperly made out. It
was ttue the Oppofition did not vote in the forming
of this ballot, but they abltained for the put pole of
making this motion, with which he could not concur.
Mr. MARTIN, of Galway, did not think that a
Minifter, merely as fuch, ought to be objected to as a
Member of the Committee, but might be objected to
as an individual on the nature of his charaCter as a
man. Such as if he had been mean when out of
place, and guilty of corruption in it, or for any rm.
Cons that were perfonal. He was one of thofe who
voted for the Ad of Union between this Country and
Ireland, but fince be had been in this country he had
repented of that vote, and he would (tate tome of his
realms for having fo repented—( Ouilion,queion, qucf-
lion
! was loudly called out).
The SPEAKER begged leave to remind the Ho-
nourable NLmber that the obfervations upon which
he was about to enter could have no polTible bearing
upon the fubjeCt before the Houfe for difcuffion.
Mr. MARTIN gave way, and after a fhort con-
vertation, during which strangers were excluded, the
Houfe proceeded to a divition on Mr. Whitbread's
motion for expunging the name of Lord Caftlereagh,
and inferting that of Mr. Bake' in its place—
Ayes, 86 ; Noes, 219.—Majority, 133.
Another divifion took place on a motion, made, as
we understood (for Itrangers were not re-admitted),
by Mr. Vv'indham, to have his own name crated from
the lilt—

Ayes, So ; Noes, 2c7.—Majority, t 27.
The Houle then adjourned, after the ntlial motions
for the regulation vt the Committee, :it a quarter
paft twelve.
