PALMER'S COMPENSATION BILL.
The Earl of MOIRA moved the Order of the day
)on which their Lordships were summoned) for the
reading of this Bill. •
On the question being put,
The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to oppose the
•oceeding, and said he had never heard any answer
lose arguments, repeatedly urgid against the
Meanire, and which he believed were unanswerable
:hemaelves. He therefore felt it to be h's duty to
me, that instead of (4 now," the Bill be read a
time, that day three months.
Lord ERSKINE considered that the agreement
between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Palmer, even though not
for the office during the life of the latter, had nothing
to do with the per tentage, which he must be amply
entitled to, considering the acknowledged advantage
which he had rendered to the country.
The Earl of HARROWBY and the Earl of LAuDER-
VALE opposed the Bill .and the Earl of MOOIA spoke
strongly in favour of it.
• *Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that at a time
when the affluent were giving up seine of their com-
forts, and the indigent many of their necessaries, for
their country, how could he look in the face of that

country, and vote sway 278,000 of gross money,
withbut deducting the ordinary taxes, which this per-
form would have paid had he been in possession of this
tnoney from the time of his agreement. By his con-
duct he had forfeited all claim on the justice of his
country, and could have none unless on what the
Noble Lords called the liberality of Parliament ; but
which he (Lord Ellenborough) must call the prodi-
gality of Parliament. •
Lord MOUNTJOY spoke ;n favour of the Bill.
The Earl of HARDWICKE could not give his
Itssent to the Bill as it stood, without the deduction
of the taxes.
The Duke of SUSSEX warmly supported the
Bill, and observed, that in the case of his own pension,
which was granted hint in 1806, it was expressly
stated," without the deduction of taxes:" Yet
be'paid the Itcome Tax on it ; and he believed this
was a general 'node of drawing up such Bills. Among
the papers on which those claims were founded, he
' bad observed a letter from Lord Camden (and he
Wi-hed that Noble Lord was then in the House) to Mr.
Palmer, stating, that it was Mr. Pict's intentint, that
the office and per centage should be independent of
*very Administration, consequently for life. His
Royal Highness hoped no one would consider that
be was concerned in A job, because be supported
the Rill.

Earl DA RNLEY spoke in favour of the Bill, and
the House divided for Lord Liverpool's amendment.
