On Mr.WHARTON's moving that the House should resolve
itself into a committee on the Embezzlement of Stores Bill,

Mr. HORNER objected to the loose and indefinite manner In
which the Bid was drawn up, and contrasted it with the Act of
K►ng William, passed for a similar purpose. In the present Bill,
Mather the marks of the stores, npr the description of stores
which it would be illegal to possess, were specified. A penal
measure, and one of a nature so extensive, ought not to be bur-
ricd through the House. In his opinion, the Bill should be
muted.

Mr. WHARTON disclaimed the intention of hurrying this,
"r any other Bill through the House. If. the Bill were allowed
o g., through the Committee, he should have no objection to its
ring printed. and recommitted on Monday, in order that the
life:ions of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman might be
ebber.itely considered.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE remarked, that the regular course was
always the best and suggested the expediency of postponing the
ommittee on the Bill till Monday. • 1
Mr. V* HAR I'ON acquiescing, it was so postponed, aad the
was ordered to be printed. 1
MR. HARGRAVE'S LIBRARY.
Mr. WHITBREAD rose, in pursuance of the
notice which he had given, to submit to the House a
oti,on on the subject of Mr. Hargrave's Library.—
t was sufficiently known that it contained many
books and manuscripts of exceedingly great value.
The Committee, to whom the consideration of the
prn,riety +,f purchasing this Library for the Public
bad been entrusted, had examined a number of com-
petent wi..nesses, and had reported to the House that
the Library was one of great value—containing,
among other things, 300 original manuscripts, which
were deemed, by those .who were the most able to,
estimate them, to be of the highest importance. It
was reported by the Committee, that the acquisith.n
of this Library, to be placed in the Library of Lin-
coln's Inn, or in any other place of that description,
was very desirable. He wouid sax nothing, for no-
thing he could say would add to the reputation of
lcMr. Hargrave—of that Gentleman's learning and
haracter ; they were universally known and appre-
ciated. e was persuatled that there was not a

"Lawyer in England who would not bear testtmuny
to the knowledge, to the integrity, and to the proles.
sional assiduity of Mr. HargrAve.—(Hear, heer.)—
In confirmation of this statement, be would read to
kite House a note to a recently published History of
Lord Somers, in which the merits of Mr. Hargrave
ere happily depicted.— [The Hon. Gentleman here
d the note to which he allude..l : it described Mr.

argrave as a Man of most laborious habits, of pro-
ound information, of gentle manners, of pure and
atriotic feeliOg, and in every point of view as enti-
ed to rank among the greatest benefactors of man-
incj—The Committte of Supply being closed, it
was impossible, hrough that channel, to procure the
grant which was necessary for the object which he
ad in contemplation. He should, therefore, move—
" That an bumble Address be presentei to his Royal High.
ess the Prince Regent, .praying that he would be graciously
leased to direct tin sum of £bOtO to be issued out o! his Ma-
sty's Civil list Revel:tic, to he applied to the purchase, for the
üblic use, of the Library of Francis Hargrave, LAI. one of his
ajesty's Counsellors in r the l.uw;. and assuring his Royal
I ghnes,, that his Majesty's faithful Commons would make
ood the same."

Mr. ROSE expressed his hearty approbation of the
notion, and his persuasion that every one isho knew
dr. Hargrave would concur in it.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion was then unanimously agreed to;
nd it was ordered, that the Address should be pre-
ented by such Members as were of his Majesty's
►lost Honourable Privy Council.
