Mr. johnfon, from the frills decrrtary of State's Office, pre •
Tented an Account of the Item of the Prifons In Ireland for the
Year dos. purfuant to the dirediona of an AR of Parliament—
which were ordered to be on the tat*.

The Bilbup of OXFORD moved, that the Order for their
Lordfhipsgoing into a Committee on the Univerfities Advowfon
Sill to-morrow be difchar cc! ; which being dons, it was order-
ed, on the further Motion of the Reverend Prelate, that the
Houle ihonklmfolve Well into a Committee on the laid Bill on
hCottdrf next.

A private 8111 was brough: up from the Commons by Colonel
Stank 7, and reed a hilt time.

Thi hearing of the Ira Appeal Cauk, 01Iaorne Co; was
fixed for the 16th of May.

Some paper relpetting the Appeal from the Irilh Court of
Chancery, Card v. &MOO, were relented at the Bar, and or-
dered to lie on the table.

The Leib Harbour impmvernent hill was brought op from the
Commons by Lord Binning, and read a fart time.

The Earl of SUFFOLK called the attention of
the Houle to a topic which he deemed of confident.
ble importance, and, in fume degree. connected with
a bill (the bread affize) which had recently received
the Royal Mint ; and therefore not a proper fob I
jet for anitnycherfion ; he regretted, however, on
revolving in his mind the whole of the information,
which either he had collated from perfonal obferva-
tine, or which had been conveyed to him through
other channels, that important !Wines had called
him from town for a few days, and fo prevented his
delivering his fentiments upon the fobjeft. while the
Bill alluded to was under their Lonlfhips' confide-
ration.
What he had now to call the attention of the 1
Houfe to was, the prefent very high price of Bread
in the metropolis. He Rated before, that he had
heard, that bread had been fent into town from the
country for Pale ; bin this he afterwards unkrtiood
I had been done chiefly by an individual, who was in
want of Come ready money; but, during his late
'Ray in the country, he found that bread was gene-
rally Cold confiderahly lower than in town. About
Cheltenham. Tetbury. and other places, which he
vifited. it was fold at is. the quartern loaf; it was
was /p.m at is. 4d. the quauern loaf, which made a
very great difference. and was a matter of impor-
tant confederation, and a molt ferious one to the poor.
The principal caufe of the bread being at this very
high price in town, was, be underflood, the pratlices
ora nuiniser of mealmen and millers, who refided it a
dißance of between is and zo miles from the metro-
polis ; Come of thefe were very wealthy men, repo-
icily worth from too,oool. to zoo,ocoL and of courfe
had a great command of money ; theft were inform.
ed by their expretfes, at given times, of the mat
Rate of the markets. and by their unprincipled pro.
ceedings, for Inch he contidered them, railed the
prices of the articles in queßion to their minds.—
This was a confideration well worthy the ferious at-
tention of the Legiflature, find, in the way of re-
medy. he would beg leave to triggeit that which
ftroc:a him as likely to be the molt effetittal. and
this ne would alfir prefs to the attention if the
Houle; what he thought w.mld he the mod likely to
courneraa the prcceedings to' which he adverted,
was. that Government !tumid ettabtith public maga
