PARLI.IMEN74R7 PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 24.

The House met in a Committee of Privileges on the Stafford
Peerage, and, after hearing evidence, postponed farther proceed-
ings to this day se'nnight.
The Right Hon GEORGE Rosa was sworn to give evidence
before the Coinmittee on Mr. Palmer's Claim.
Lord LAUDERDALE moved that Mr. Bonner, Deputy
, Comptroller of the Post Office, do attend as witness on the said
Claim. Also that the Reports of the House of Commons on Mr.
Palmer's Claim be referred to the Committee.—Ordered.

The Lottery Bill was read a second time.
The Irish Customs, Irish Malt Duty, and Irish Militia Pay,
&c. Bills, went through a Committee, and were agreed to with-
out amendment.
Lord BUCKINGHAMSHIRE moved the committal of the
Resolution sent up from the Commons, relative to the propaga-
tion of Christianity in India. In doing so, he stated, that from
all countries, except this country, Missionaries had been allowed
to remain in India, prov ded they pursued their objects in a
peaceable and proper manner. It was proper, therefore, that the
same prorilrge should be extended to persons proceeding from
this country with the same objects. Care would, of course, be
taken that they should not, by pursuing these objects in a rash
and intemperate manner, endanger the peace of the country, and
the safety of the Government. Anticipating no objection to this
Resolution, he did not think it necessary to say any thing further
respecting it at this rime.
The Resolution was then committed and reported, and the
assent of the Lords to it ordered to be communicated to the
Commons.
The Marquis of DOUGLAS presented a petition in favour of
the propatiou of Christianity in India.—Adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
