TIM CLERGY PENA LIII9 BILL.
The House, pursuant to order, went into a Com.
mittee on this Bill.
The Duke of NORFOLK objected to the clause
which enacts that the informer shall not be alk,wed
his costs in cases of information for non.residence;
where the Court shall set aside the proceedings.—
However unworthy the informer might be, it was .if
consequence to the law of the country that he should
be paid what he had expended under the law. If th e
House thought' fit to deny him the penalties, his
Grace conceived that they could not in justice take
out of his pocket costs incurred by the prosecutions
sanctiu;l2,l by law. Some amendment in this clause
'>::1-., in the opinion of his Grace, absolutely ne-

ceisary. ,
Lord ELLEN BO ROUGH said, that the prottiso .
noticed by the Noble Duke was not a novelty ; it
was common to fills of this description. it only
said, the informer litigated at his peril. The Legis.
lature in another instance had reserved the right of
altering the law with respect to cleygy penalties. The
party was not subject to lose his costs unless the pro-
ceedings were vexatious.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, it was ne-
cessary there should be some regulation with respect
to the law on Non-residence, as it stood in the 431
of the King. The provisions under that Act, were,
in many respects, inapplicable, and his Lord:bit,
was convinced it would not answer to prevent non-

residence.
Lord HOLLAND considered the Act of the 43.1
of the King imperfect,'and productive of much hard-
ship to the Clergy. I: was founded on a false prin-
ciple, by which many of the Clergy 'had been en-
trapped. He would not oppose this Bill, becaute it
reliev-ed a number of worthy men from prosecution
they did not deserve. His Lordship was desirous
that non-residence might be prevented without the
odious principle of information.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that
previous to the passing of the Act of the 434 of the
King, it was found almost impossible to prevent
non-residence without informations. If law were
in force against non-residence, they were bound by
them. The Noble Baron was however right in say-
ing, the greatest abuses hid happened with respect
to informations against the Clergy ; an instance
came within lds•own recollection. borne years since,
when Baron Eyre was in the Exchequer, a case was
deciJed, which proved how easy it was to lead the
Clergy into a snare. An Attorney in the coitmry
hail a small house, and taking a liking to the par-
sonage house, which was larger, he exchanged with
the Clergyman, who went out to accommodate the
Attorney. At the end of the year the Clergyman
A 61.44 for the difference of rent doe to him, and the
answer sea,. 6, You are indebted to me, because I
'can bring tea actions for penalties under the Non-re-
sidence Act." He brought his action, and the Cler-*
mut was obliged to pay. The Lord Chancellor
no difficulty in sayii.g the Clergyman had done
his duty in the most exemplary manner, notwith-
standing he had incautiously quitted the parsonage
house. His Lordship was convinced that the law,
which made no dittinction in cases of non-residence,
was unwise. He did not admire common in(ornters,
hut there was a time when they were nec.ssary.—
There was no means to compel residence formerly
but by the Ecclesiastical Court. The t rovitnons of
the 431 were not considered so much for the general
benefit of the Clergy as they ought to be, and his
Lordship was sure it was p3SSAOIC to amend it with
regard to the public and the church. A measure for
amending it was in its progress elsewhere, and when it
came before their Lordships, they would have every
opportunity of putting the Iva- on a more advartage.
ous footing.
The Archbishop of CANTERBUItY said.nothing
could be more desirable than a Bill. to remedy all the
hardships under which the Clergy now complain.—
The operation of this Bill was to stay proceedings on'
suits ruinous to the Clergy, at the same time distino►
tion was to be made in the extent and degree of non-
residence. The case of vicious non residence ought
to be separated from those cases where non-residence
was the effect of inadvertency, and in all its bearings
his Grace considered it entitled to the support of the
House.
*Lord ELLENBOROU)GH could not anticipate
any Rood the Public might derive from their discus:
sion with. respect to the Bill in the Commons to amend.
the 43d of the King, because many clauses had been
introduced which would deprive the House of its
privilege of discussing the Bill.
Lord LAUDERDALE here spoke to order, on
the ground that be could not remain silent and hear
a declaration that the House of Lords had stiffen,
dered its privilege of discussion on any Bill.
Lord ELLE,NBOROUGH observed, that he
would not say the right -wasourrendered, but if the
Noble Lord would permit him, he would say, they

period at which the Admiralty had put a.! •.. :111:e
custom of allowing single shops properly ,tity:.l; tq
run to and from the Wesr Indies,..it had been es-
pected that Convoys would be more frequlrnt a on the
contrary, however, their number had greatly dimi-
nished. An application bad been made for a convoy
from the West Indies in February last, at which
period there were a hundred and fifty vessels ready
with cargoes. to the value cf throe millions sterling.
They bad, however, been detained, and the number
of vessels was now probably increased to -I('O. The
arrival of so many ships at one Moment, was pro.
ductive of great inconvenience in the marl. t. wl'he
suggestion of some of his constituents was, that ship%
properly armed (that arming to be regulated by
Parliament) should be allowed to sail- without con-
voy, or that the Admiralty should appoint convoys
more frequently.
Mr. ROSE .deprecated the introduction of any
thing in the Dill, which might give to the Americans
information calculated to facilitate their privateering
expeditions against our trade.
14r. CROKEIL expressed eli p"rmasion, dtat the
representation which kad brew made by his Honour-
able Friend (Mr. Canning), arose out of a mimes.
ception. Before the war with America, it had been
sutficient to protect the trade in the Chant-1, nn d.m.
ger being_ to be apprehended in Amer ra and thy
West Indies. Licences, therefore, to go N. tali abnut,
were, at that period, granted by the Admiralty. with
perfect facility. On the breaking cut of the Anatri.
Can war, however, the case was changed. The Ame-
rican merchant ships were almost universally au.
vetted into privateers. The seas swarmed sith then.
sands of them. Vessels then running from Liver.
pnol,'and the:other 'nestern parts, merely ran tts
14
into the jaws of the enemy. Feeling this, II e Admi.
ratty refused to grant licences, the only tendency of
which was the. rapture of the vessels to which hey
were granted. (n the very-aright et the an and
the American iirclaration ~f war, the revocation of
all licences WhiCh bad been granted was
putshigied in
the Gazette. During half the year it was imp. actiabie
