lARLIAMENTARr PAOCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY is.
ROYAL ASSENT BY COMMISSION.

°Their Lordships met at about half-past three o'clock, when,
layers being read, the LORD CIIANCFLLOI, the Earl CHOL.
lONDELtic and Lord Weinsitturs.tos, dressed in their robes as
ammissloners, took their seats o:i the Woolsack, and in the
ane of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, for and in
ballot his Majesty, gave the R iyal Assent to several Public
Private Bills. Among the for.oer were the I.ocal Militia,
le Corn Distillery, the Regent' i2anal, the Soldiers' Families,
le Levant 'lr.tc!:•, and the Ryde Pier and Harbour Bills. '1 he
Ife Anwit'es, the Ins)) Butte:, the Commercial F.xchequer
ills, ant] the unredeemed Prizes hills were read a third time
id passed.

VW!' 1: OF CREDIT.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented a Message from his
oval Highness the PI a ce Regent, recommending, In the usual
rot, the annual Vote of er,dit, which,
.on the motion of the
lol.le Farl, was ordered to be taken into consideration next
yeanesday.
Mn. PALMER,—AND EX-OFFICIO INFORMATIONS.
.The Earl of MOIRA rose to request it as a per.
nnal obligation to liimsell— if he might so put it—
if his Noble Friend (Holland), that he would allow
he discussion of Mr. Palmer's claim tomorrow, to
ake precedence of his motion on the subject of Ex-
)fficio informations.
Lord HOLLAND could not refus . to accede to
he request of his Noble Friend, though the conse-
pience must be, that he must postpone kis motion
till farther, as it was not likely he could bring it on
liter the. di‘posal of the question of Mr. Paimer's
:laims. Ile could net fix any particular day at pre-
ient for bringing it on, until he consulted some Noble
Friends of his. He could not, however, help feeling
-egret at being obliged thus to postpone his motion,
leimportance of which was becoming every day
more :ipparent. Intelligence which reached him this
very day, of certain proceedings in Ireland, impress.
:d upon his mind; still more deeply, the necessity of
some regulation to check this discretionary power of
the Attorney-General, which, in its abuse, was the
most dangerous that could be conceived. .
Earl GREY expressed his very serious regret that
the motion of his Noble Friend was to be postponed,
as he could not possibly attend their Lordships'
House after to-morrow. Not that he thought he
eould be of much use to his Noble Friend in the very
laudable and important purpose in which be was en-
gaged—but it was a matter of personal regret to
' himself, that he could Lot be -present so as to record,
'by his vote, his most perfect concurrence in the prin.
ieiple and object of his Noble Friend's motion. This
discretionary power, in an Officer of Government,
might he perverted to the most dangerous purposes.
A Government, weak in itself, and having no hopes
of resting itself upon the favour and affection of a
lir-
arrateful people, would naturally endeavour to shelter
'itself by preventing free discussion ; and for that end
this power of filing Ex-officio informations was a
most admirable instrument. He had this day. heasd
that in Ireland a prosecution bad been commenced
by the Attorney-General, where there ought to be
no prosecution at all ; or, if there existed any ground
for prosecution, it ought to have been done in a very
different manner. An individual had published a
pamphlet on the subject of the penal laws against the
Catholics ; a pelf :cily fair subject of discussion ; and
which, if there was any thing objectionable in it,
ought to have been met by a contrary statement.—
But instead of this, a prosecution was resorted to,_
and in a mode which, as tar as he could learn, was
altogether unprecedebted. The Attorney had sent
a notice to the Printer of the Pamphlet in question,
in the nature of a summons to attend him at his own
house, and there shew cause to him, the Attorney-,
General, why a criminal information should not he
filed agai CI him. He had consulted several in re.
- gard to this proceeding, and all had declared, that
such a thing was utterly unknown to them in the
course of their experience.. He was sorry to find,
that a system of conciliatit n, such as perhaps might
have been expected from the recent resolution of ahe
House of Commons against theCatholies, was not to
be-adopted. He could not let slip this °ppm tunity
of making these few observations, and declaring his
most perfect concurrence in the object of his Noble
Friend, since he could not be enabled to do so when
the motion should be brought forward.
IIIGIMAY SURVEYORS.
Lord ELLIOT moved the second reading of the
Highway Surveyors Bill.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that the
measure was too imperfect to pass this session. He
col:fit:ended the chject of the Voble Lord, but sug-
gested that it would be proper to withdraw the mo-
tion, and postpone the business till another session,
when a measure more applicable to the several parts
cf the country might be brought forward ; and be
concluded by moving, that the Bill be read a second
time this day three months. .
Lord ELLIOT said, that as there was no objec-
tion to the principle of the Bill, it was proper it should]
go to a Committee. . 1
Lords REDESDALE and RADNOR observed,
that there were a great many objectionable clauses in
the Bill, but it was proper it should go to a Commit-
tee, that the objections might be discussed, so as to
give a better chance fcr the production of a more
mature measure next Session.—The Bill was•read a
second time, and committed for Thuriday.
LOCAL TOKENS.
The Local Tokens Bill was committed.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE called their Lord-
ships' attention to a clause in the Bill, by which,
. in case any one-should unfortunately- have white let-
tis s engrave': on paper with a sable ground, they were
liable to he transported to Botany Bay for 14. years.
This was going a good deal too far ; besides, he did 1
not see why the Bank of England alone was to have '
this security. They ought to legislate for the public, 1
and not for the Bank of England.
The Earl of Liverpool said that they were legisla- '
ring for the public, for as it was incumbent on the
people to take the Bank of England notes, itwas ne.
eessary that these notes particularly should be guard--)
ed against forgery : and as to the observation in re.,
gard to transportation, it was obvious that the law did
sot include such as could shew that they came by
such pieces of paper innocently.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE next objected to
the word 44 Coin," as applied to Bank dollars & and
.asked, whether it we's really their intention, that the

Prerogative of the Crown, in respect of coining, should
be transferred to the B ink of England
The' Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed to substitute
the word Token" instead cf " Coin."
After a few words from Lords LAUDERDALE and
Ross, the Bill passed through the Committee. Re-
port to-morrow.
