P4RI.I.4MEAT4Rr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OP LORDS, MONDAY, JUNE to.

A Meffage was received from t'ie Commons, importing that
the Houle had granted permiffion to Sir John and SirJas. Stewart,
Baronets, to attend their Lordihip's Committee, if the raid Man-,
ben thought fit.
A fecund Meffage was received from the Commons, prefented
by Sir John Stewart, Bart. this was of f 'me length, and included
an expofition of the grounds on which the Committee of that
Houfe (to whom the cordideration of the affair of Sir H. R. Pop-
ham was referred) required the attendance of the Earl of St. Vin-
cent to he examined before them.
Several private an-t local Bills were brought up by Mr. Baker,
Sirj. Aiiley, Mr. Johnitone, and other Gentlemen, and which
. - .

„
were Ceveraity read a firft time.
. Lord SIDIV:OI.ITH r.nnounced, that be had the authority of
Earl St. Vincent to declare, that his I.,rdihip was ready, when
called upon, to attend the &led Committee of the Honk of Com.
to w:1-1111 the confideration of the repairs of the Romi.ey

TRUSIR'S DIVORCE RILL.

Refpeaing which, Counfcl was in part heard on a
fornier evening. This forms rather a fingular cafe ;
being " A Bill to diffoive the marriage of Elizabeth
Utterton, with Frederick Teufh, her now hufband,
and to enable the laid Elizabeth Utterton to marry
again, and for the other purpofes therein mentioned."
Counfel and evidence in fupport of the Bill were
called to the Bar. From the lta:ement and depofi-
,tions of there, in the indent and former inhances,-
and from the allegations of the Bill, it appeared that
tlie petitioner, Mrs. Tenth, married with Mr. Frede-
rick Tenth, of the City of London, merchant, in
July 1790, that they lived and cohabited together,
as man and wife, until February 1798, in which in-
terval their iffire was two daughters, both fince dead;
that Mr. Teufh having formed an adulterous inter-
courfe and conneEtion with one Sarah Evans, began to
abfent himfelf frequently from his wife, and, in the
year 1796, began to live with the Paid Sarah Evans,
as man and wife, under the affnmed name of Mr. and
Mrs. Thorley, and in February 1798 entirely left
Mrs. Teufh, and declared his intention of never re-
turning to his family again, though he admitted he
Bad no ground for complaint againft her. From that
time the has Lved apart from Mr.Teuth, and has had
rio intercourfe with him, but lived ever fince in the pa
rift' of Chelhunr, where, from her good condua, the
has entitled herfelf to, and received the countenance
and protection of a refpeaable neighbourhood, and
from toms of the relatives of her hufband; that Mrs.
Teufh, in December 5798, obtained a fentence of
divorce a menfa et there, againft her hufband, in the
Confiftory Court of the Bishop of London, in conic-
quence cf his adulmry with Sarah Evans ; and the
Court alfo decreed Mrs. Teulh, the funs of 2001.
per annum, as alimony, during the joint lives of Mr.
and Mrs. Tenth ; that Mr. Teufh has ever fince
lived with Sarah Evans, who refided, at different
places, as his wife ; that fhe has, for Pane time
paft, gone by the name of Mrs. Teufb, and is con-
fidered by many perfons as his wife ; they have three
children ; that Mr. Teufh has been far from punauxl
fit the payment of the alimony to his wife, who fre-
quently has been obliged to recur to the Ecclefiafti.
cal Court, in order to infuse payment. Towards the
end of loft year, Mrs. Teufh was under the neceffity
of applying, through the procefs of the Ecclitiallical
Court, for three quarters of a ycat's alimony,' 'Sue
sup to the 28th of OEtober 1804, in confequence of
which Mr. Tenth' petitioned for a reduaton of alimo-
ny, ailedging his fituation and reduced circumftan-
c. , and !Toting that he had withdrawn himfelf and
:s capital horn trade—that, however, the circum-
-I:4nees of Mr. Tetrth, and his quitting his partner-
!hip, have not arifen from loffes in trade, or unfore-
teen misfortune, bat in confecinence of Mr. Tenth's
purfuing the fame courfe of life, that compelled the
Petitioner to apply for a divorce to the Confillory
Court ; that under thefe circumftances, Mrs. Teulh
has no. profpea bnt that of being reduced to a com-
parative flare of indigrnce, having; beyond the fiaid
alimony, barely the means of ezinence ; and that the
conduel and fituation to which Mr. Teal is reducing
himfelf, preclude every hope of reconciliation, and
chance of Mrs. Tenth continuing to enjoy the only
benefit that remained to her of her marriage contract,
namely, the aforefaid means of fubfillence ,• and on
thefe grounds, the Petitioner prayed their Lordihips
slant to a Bill for divorcing her hufband.
After the neceffary preliminary fads of the mar.
riage, etc. were duly proved, feveral witneffes were
l-rouAht forward to fubllantiate the allegatiou of the
- . • .

'adultery of Mr.Tenfh,::nd his cohabitation v. ith Sarah
Evans; thefe were principally female de•melic let
vents, 1.%:t0 had lived with the parties. One of there
flared, that fhe had ken them feveral times together
in bed ; and another, who not long tince had lived
with them as cook, at God Roue, timed they Lad three
children.

Another witnefs Rated, that the lived with Mr.
and Mrs. Tenth, about duce years—their town re-
fidence was then at No. v 4 t, Fenchurchdlreet—this
was about nine years ago ; the latter part of the time
of her living with them, Mr. Tenth frequently abfent.
ed himfeif from home, and often Raid out late at
night; that the obferved Mrs. Tenth frequently in
tears ; that Mr. Tenth in general behaved inhumanly
to her ; that the behaved herfelf very well to him,
and did every thing the thought would pleafe him 1
that the obferved Mr. Teuth more than once take
wine out of the cellar, and fend it out.
Another witnefs ft;:ted, that the lived with Mr. and
Mrs. Tenth about the lathe length of time ; it was
after the former witnefs had lived with them. She
had obferved the behaviour of Mr. Teufh to his wife;
in general, he appeared very croft to her.
The LORD CHANCELLOR here obferved, that
this kind of evidence had nothing to do with thecafe;
there was no al!egation of cruel behaviour in the bill.
The Leading Counfel (Mr. ADAM) obferved, the
' prefent cafe, under all its circumftances, and confi-
', tiering them all together, was, he though;, fuch a
cafe, as wouldentitle the lady to the relief the pray.
ed tor; they therefore thought it may be proper to
go into a proof of general condo& and behaviour from
the commencement to the lateß period. Such was
done in the cafe of the divorce a onenfa et :hot,.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid the evidence
mutt be in proof of the allegations of the
A Gentleman was then brought forward, who
lived in the neighbourhood of the former refidence of
Mr. and Mrs. Tenth, near Chelhunt, and of that in
which Mrs. Tenth at prefent refided. He Rated that
Mr. Tenth left his wife in the year 1798 ; that the
lived (ince in a houfe, other than that the occupied
with her hufband ; that the behaved with ihe greateft
propriety ; which Mr. Tenth, who had made up his
mind not to live with her, acknowledged and alto
expretfed a &fire, that an intercourfe may be kept
up between his family and her.
Another Gentleman, a Mr. Oliver Cromwell, Rated
that he knew Mrs. Tenth feven or eight years. She
lived in a fmall houfe, near Clielbunt, with a lirniied
eftablithment fuitable to it.

Some obfervations were here interchanged between
the Learned Counfel and the LORD Cksircaccoa,
refpefting the neceffsty line of evidence. After which
the farther confideration of the Bill was adjournCd
till Wednefday.

MANCHESTFE Quitted SESSION BILL.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE moved
the fir II reading of the Bill for authorifing the pay-
ment of a falary to the Chairman of the Quarter
Seitions of the county of Lancafter ; on which
The Earl of RADNOR rote, and expreffed his
decided difapprobation of the meafure. He obferv-
ed, that the office to which the Bill applied was one
of ancient inftitution, greatly condikive to the pithlic welfare ; and the more fo, as it was always per-
formed gratuitoufly. He was willing to admit that,
Come Itrong and plaufible arguments would apply in
the prefent cafe. Let their Lordfhips confider the
duties which were impofed on juryrden to be gratnit-
oufty performed, and who were liable to be fined if
they did not attend; in that refpca, what difference
fhould there be between the county of .Lancaller
and other counties ? that part of the country was
very populous, but was highly profperous ; why
Ihould it poffefs the advantages of profperity, with-
out at the fame time fuffering tome of the difadvan-
taps which refulted from it ? Were the Bill in quef.
tion paired, there would be applications of a limit-at
kind from other quarters. He had feveral other ob-
jeaions, but he now objefted to the principle of the
Bill ; and, under his impreffion of it, would move
to amend the Noble Earl's motion. by fubflituting
fur the word " Now," " thi. day three months."
The Eail of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE faid, be
was aware of feveral objeftions which may be made
to the Bill ; but the truth was, that all thofe whom
he had confulted on the occafion, were impreffed
with the neceifity of the meafure, and were of opi.
nion that it was impoffible to carry on the bufinefs to
which the Bill referred, without a provition of the
kind ; fo much fo, that he thought he only dif-
charged his duty to the public in fiipporting it ; the
part of the county of Lancafter to be affefted by the
Bill contained an immenfe population, a great part
of whom were manufaaurers. For the three Safi
years, the office in qui:llion was executed by a per-
fon Ito refided thirty miles from the place ; the
meafure under confiderat4on was neceffary in the opi-
nion of many converfam with the Winds of the
Courts of Juflice. His Lordfhip went into a Rai-
ment of the number of cafes tried in the year sBOO,
and the four following years, and adverted to the fe•
rious inconveniences which mutt eafite, were thefe, or
thtgreater part of them, left to be tried at the affizes.
The falary was to be given only in the event °Ca
perfon duly qualified for the office not being fiiirnd
willing to a& without it. In fltr,rt, from tht opinions
of all-thofe he had confulted ; from thofe moA con-
verfant with thefe things in that part of the country,
he was convinced it was an innovation rendered ne-
ceffary by the peculiar circumflances of the cafe.
The Earl of kiRIDGEWATERmade a few °bier-
vations in favour of the meafure ; and after a few
words in explanation from the Earl of RADNOR, the
queltion was put, and the amendment of,the latter
negatived ; after which the Bill was read a &ft time.

ST. PANCSAIPOOI BILL.

The Bifhop of ST. ASAPH rote to make his pro.
coifed motion relative to this Ball. He obicrved, the
fmall miflake which gave rife to a precipitate read-
ing of the Bill a fecund time on that day fortnight,
had prevented thole Lords who difapproved the =a-
fore from delivering their fentiments, or thole who
petitioned againft it from being beard by their Conn-
fel at the bar. For his own part he greatly difap•
proved of the Bill, fo much fo, that he fhould pre-
fently move that the order fot a Committee fitting on
the Bill tomorrow be difcharged, in order to follow
it up, fliould he fucceed in it, with another motion,
for committing the Bill on that day three months.—
This he was induced to do, by his obicilions to the
principle of the Bill ; which, in fad, was totally to
repeal the AEI palfed.towards the end of fall feliont
a Bill, which had much time and laboui bellowed
. ,
. . ,

on it by feveral of their Lt rdfhips, in a Committee,
and in which it was conii..:erably amended and im-
proved ; thi., the petitiorerr. for the prelim! Bill fay
they find from experience ; from the er.;-erience of
not more than half a year, to be infatricient to its
purples, and they now defire its total repeal as the
heft means to ca, ry its prov Mons into drat—pi:rust)).
Who were the perfons to be called upon for this ? Not
the parifh of St. Pancras. They were a fele& body
or number of men who (lyric(' themfelves the guar-
dians or direams of the poor. The object was to tae
.the adminifiration of Inch affairs frcm the yeary at
large, the churchwardens, &c. and to veft it in the
Paid fetal body. The Reverend Prelate then went
into the hillory of the rot igioal Bill, which came be-
fore
their Lordfbips towards the latter end of the ter-
lion of 1803, and defcribed the powers which the'
promoters of the Bill required fbould be vetted in
them. They were to be Pelf elated ; they were to
affefs the rates ; all the vacancies were to be filled
up by them ; they were to produce no vouchers ;
they were to be their own auditor., &c. All there
improper prtvilions were amended by their Lord-
(hips. The rcfult was, that the Bill, on account of
the late period of the feffion, .was loft for that year.
Tile Bill of tail year, ameliorated and improved, as
he had alluded to, followed ; and this Bill, the par-
ties in quettion fay, is infufficient to its purpofes, be-
caufe it did not give them power enough. 'Mt pre-
fent Bill went to do away all the amendments made
by their Lordfhips to the laft aft ; in fat, it repealed
the original Bill, of which, without meaning to of-
fend the ariftocracy of the parith of St. Pancras' he
mutt ezprefs his ditapprobation. It reminded him
of a Bill, not long firrce, and very properly, thrown
out by their Loraithips, the profeffed 9l2jeft of which
was, to improve the art and myllery of chimney
fweeping—(a laugh). The objeft of that meafure was
to place more power in the hands of a tele& body of
opulent chimney fweepers. Were the Bill under
confideration fuffered to go to a Committee, the
long and tedious difcuffions and hearing of Connie',
who would have to argue that black was white and
white was black; for the worfe the saute was, the
more fnbtle fhpuld the dillinainns necetrarily be—(a
late). In concluding, his Lordlbip adverted to the
late period of the feffion, and expreffed himfelf de-
cidedly againft the farther progrefs of the Bill, and
moved " that the order'for the Committee to fit on
the Bill to-morrow, be ditcharged."
The Earl of SUFFOLK approved of what fell
from the Right Rev. Prelate, and added, that the
bill in qoellion propofed to relieve the poor, upon a
principle, that thofe of the parifh of Mary-la•Bonne
were better regulated—a pofition which he mull
deny ; for, in Mary-la-Bonne parifh, there were up-
wards' of 40,0001. raifed, for the maintenance of
1013 poor perfons; whereas, in the parifh of St. Pan-
Eras, only to,yool. were ratted for tt,e fupport of
about half the number ; there were fome other de.
tailed confiderations, he Obferved, to be collated
kom the report of the other Hotta. of Parliament,
which would lead him to decide againft the prefent
Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, after fhortly re-
ferring to what had been faid by the Rev. Prelate,
relative to the proceedings on the former bills, and
jocularly alluding to what was fild on the hearing
of Counfel:deprecatid all hafty dt.cifinne nn bills of
fuch a nature as the prefot. Fie advcrttd to the
fcenes of confution and animolity, and the numerous
litigations which refulted from certain popular pa.
rochial elections, more efpecially in large parifhes.
He argued in favour of the bill' grin. into a Com-
mittee, and adygrted to certain legal difficulties, which
had arifea with refped to the operations of the exift-
ing AEt

and Learned Lord, as to the merits of the particular
queflion before them—

ferred to invelligate the truth of the matters alledged
in charge agaiult Mr. Juftice Fox, being laid on the
table

•
Lord MINTO moved—" That the fame be printed
for the ofe of the Members of the Houfe."

The LORD CHANCELOR, after adverting to
what had been thrown out by a Noble and Learned
, Lord the other night on the fubjefl, oblerved, he had
, anxioully enquired with refp:et to the proceedings
then alluded to, and found, that the Houfe had been,
in thefe inftances, lo cautious, that fome degree of
reflrittion prevailed with regard to the infpation of
thefe documents, even by Peers themfelves ; and, the
order, in which their Lordthips then expreffed the
Parliamentary ufage of the Houfe, Rated, that the
evidence (in the care of Mr. Hollings), printed from.
day to day, was for the ufe of Members of the Houle
wily. With this precedent, and under his own con.
vietions upon the cafe, he would beg leave to amend
the Noble Boron's Motion, by the addition of the
word 44 only ;" Co that it would appear on the Juur-
nals, that thole with whom perhaps it moil particu-
larly lay, had not forgotten to do what they thought
-their duty.
Lord HAWKESBURY Rated that his idea was,
that the fame degree of publicity ought to be given.
to the evidence taken before the Committee, as to that
given at the bar of the Houfe. He wifh:d for no
more, nor could he take lets. _ _ _

The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed fo far with
the Noble Secretary of State ; but repeated his opi•
nion of the impropriety, injelice, and probable roil.
chievous confequences of (offering general publica-
tions of unfinithed trials to go forth.
Lord MINTO, obferving that his foie obj. ft was
the attainment of fubititntial jullice, had no objec-
tion to the Noble and Learned Lord's Amendment ;
but alluded to the difference between the cafe of Mr.
Hafting: and the prefint, where the party had no
pofEble means oflearnivg what tranfpired in evidence
on the former occalion;ezeept through a proceeding
of this kind.

The quellion was then pot, and the motion, as
amended by the Lord Chancellor, agreed to.

STIPENDJARY CURATES.
The order for fun/atoning 'their Lord hips being
read, •

The Bilkop of LONDON role to mme the fecond
reading of this Bile He defctibed the leading provi

(ions of the meirure (which have been repeatedly fit.
ter_ our readers), contended for the neceffity of art.
gulatiun of the kind, and expatiated on the betiefitii
dials which would refult from it. He defcribed with
great feeling and effed the miferable and degradi
fituasi:sn in which numbers of the Curates f tie
Church of England ate now placed, langoifhing :a
poverty and ohfzurity on their prefent paltry and int.
dequate (Upends. He contended that the Bill czoi4
not involve an invafion of private property, as that
fpecies to which it referred was not as a freehold pro.
perty, but including ferious and :mportant duties
which the incumbent was bound to perform, or to pr„
vide a fubtlitsite at an adequate falai y ; and he argued
that no well founded objeftions could apply as to the
difcretionary powers of the Bilhops. He infilied
the propriety and juftice of allowing the curate who
performed the duties, a (Upend proportionate to the
amount of the living ; and concluded by recommtttd.
ing, in pathetic terms, the cattle of the unfortunate
el,rates to the peculiar care and prate Lion of a Bri.
tills Houle of Peers I The Reverend Prelate than
moved, that the Bill be now read a fecond time.

_ .....
The Earl of surFoLK took the opportunity to
Rate, that according to information on which he
could rely, the fmall addition lately granted to the
falarics had not imia fide been paid to them ; even
the full amount of the poor 751. a year. He related
an anecdote of a lady, who fume years fince be-
queathed an addition of 201. per annum to the 501.
which the curate of a certain parillt was paid; but,
intlead of paying the poor man this annuity in addi-
tion, the incumbent docked his falary or an equal
amount ; he hoped no filch practices would prevail
in the cafes under confederation ; there thould be
fome degree of publicity in tranfaetions of the kind,
and the value of livings, B,:c. fbould be reported to
fome official quarter. He was glad to underftand
fomething of that kind was proiided for in the Bill.
But, he obferved, the fituation of the Curates alone
(hould not be attended to ; numbers of the poorer
order of beneficed Clergy were equally objects of
confederation ; and, of which his Lordfhip related a
(hiking inflance, which he was a winters to in the
North of England.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, after declaring
himfelf a warm advocate for the objeet of the Bill,
entered into a detailed confideration of feveral of its
provifions, which he agreed were matter for ferious
confideration in a Committee : he hoped, canfidering
the late period of the Sellion, no delay would take
place. Some of the provifions of the Bill were new
to him ; and due regard, he übferved, thould be had
to the extent of the cure. Adverting to an obferva-
tion which fell from the Noble Earl who (poke lift,
he Paid he thould not turn advertifer for the com-
plaints of curates.
The Earl of SUFFOLK, in explanation, laid, he
was indebted for much of the important information
he had received on the fubjea, to what he had laid
in that way on a former occafion. He received more
than too letters, moft of them with names to them.
though the general requeft of the writers was that
their names thould not be mentioned.

The Bilhop of LONDON (Lot tly (poke in exp Li.
nation.

The Earl of BRIDGEWATER, in a low tone
of voice, made foam obfervations in favour of the
bill ; but thought it contained Tome ro‘ ifions which
were fit matter for future coufideratica and amend-
ment.

The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM had theprincipk
and object of the Bill warmly at heart. It was effen-
tial to follow up the impeded meafure of lag year,
