HOUSE 01 COMMONS.

The Houfe met, purfuant to their adjournment
on Wednefday laR, at half pail one o'clock.
Colonel BAGWELL moved for a New Writ for
the City of Cathe', in the room of Richard Bag-
well, Efq. who, fincc his elation, had entered
into Holy OrJcrs..

The SP IA II tit faid, that this apptarcd to him to
Ibe a cafe which required confideration. The firft
Clank of the Aft which paired lafl Salon of Par-
liament, cnaeled, " That nn perfim having been
ord tined to the office of Prieft or Deacon, Ihould
be capable of being defied to ferve in Parliament."
Now the cafe in quolion eettainly d;,l not mine

tainly was not in Holy Orders ; bu! titer: vac a

in bus opinion, ‘‘.i.tid embrace this cart. Perhaps,

Mr.BRAGGE raid he had no objeillion

he had no doubt but that it came within the
ing of the A. It might, however, he wGrth
while to confider what kind of evidence the Hour,
would require of the &a, or whether they 'volild,
is in the cafe of the death of a Member, take the
afirtion of another Member ?

The SPEAKER laid, he had looked into chi, fub.
jed, and he found that the Houk had been con.
aantly in the habit of thing upon the alrertion
a Member. In the cafe of the death of a Memba
there was no evidence of the ft but the aircrt;,),;
of another Member. In the cafe of perfons
ceeding to Irilh or Scotch Peerages, there w, ,
other evidence of the fad but the tlaternent
Member, becaufe there was no Writ of Sumrt,•::,
to call fuch Pcrfon up to the Houle of Pcer•,_.
He therefore apprehended that in this cafe
Houfe would accept the fame evidence that it did
in other cafes of a fimilar nature.

Colonel 13/xlmA. then moved to adjnurn tLe
Debate till Monday. He laid he made the MO.
tion becaufe his Honourable Relative conctir•ed,
that having taken Orders he could no longer lit is
Parliament ; but if the Houfe were of a different
opinion, his Honourable Relative would, he had
no doubt, be happy to continue to fit among them.
The difcullion was put off till Monday.
A new Writ was ordered for Portfmouth in tl.e
room of Lord Hugh Seymour.
Lord STOPTORD appeared at the B.lr, and
Rated, that his Majelly had appointed a quarter
before three as the time for receiving the Allreis
of that Houfe. •

The other Orders of the day were then papa.
ned till Monday, and at half pall two the Hoare
adjourned till Monday.
