Common Council of London, praying for leave to
prefent a petition againft the ereaion of a certain
market at Paddington, which petitioners complain.
ed of as an infringement of their Chartered rights,

Mr. Alderman Comae (aid, that that claufe in
the AR alluded to, which authorifed the Canal
Company to erea a new market, was introduced

right now infilted on was' obtained by a trick.
• ~ ,

Lord Tssests was furpaed that the City Re.
prefentatives had not before now taken notice of
this fuppofed infratlion of their privileges, at leaft
in due time to prefent their petition.

ton Canal Company until a few days ago, when

LORD TEMPLE repeated his charge of remiffnefs
upon the City Reprefentatives.
Mr. Ls/ s H morose faid, that even admitting ti,c
Noble Lord's charge to be juft, yet that arcs 1.4
reafon for depriving the City of London of its
rights. He (Mr. L.) believed that if the bill corn.
plained of by his conflituents was entirely done
away, they would be incapable of refufing their
affent to the inflitution of this market, fhould it
appear to be a neceffary °Nee of utility. They
only flood forward to alert the privileges which
belonged to them.
Mr. COUETENAY thought the reafoning of the
City Members on this fubje& not lefi ilngular than
futile, and hoped they would not influence the
Houle to interfere with the rights of a Company
to whom the country owed fo much as that of the
Grand JunEtion Canal. The Honourable Gentle-
man who (poke profeffed for his coralituents
that they would not objed to the in*itution of this
market, provided the utility of it were known :
and how was that utility to be afceriained, if the
ellablifhment of the market was to be refilled ?

I.nndon were Wised tobe of the Committee in 1798,
who were now accnfed of clandeitinely introducing
a claufe refpeding this market.

tion of fuch importance as ought to be enquired
into.—The Houfe divided—Ayes 73—Noes 24
—Majority 49. The Committee was appointed.

tion he had given, relative to the Lieutenants, and
other Officers of the Navy, laid, that underftand-
ing Government had taken the cafe of there &-
retying men into confederation, he should think it
unnecefary to trouble the Houle upon the fubjea.
