Similar Petitions were then presented—By Eatl Alitatsnet.o,
from the City of Perth; and by the Duke of Wts.t.twaros, from the
City of Norwich.
The Bishop of NORWICH, after alluding to the situation of
five or six millions of our fellow subjects, who were deprived
of the full enjoyment of their civil rights, for DO other reason
than for religious opinions, which, though certainly erroneous,
ought not he made the ground of political aisabilities, said it was
gratjfying to a liberal mind to know that there were Protestant
Clergymen in the Empire, and particularly in the county of Nor-
folk, who entertained more enlarged ideas of religious aid civil
liberty, and more correct views of the real interests of the Rua-
blished Church. He had the honour to present a Petition in favour
of conceding the prayers of the Catholics, signed by eighty or
ninety Protestant Clergymen, who yielded to no one in their cor-
dial attachment to our Ecclesiastical Establishment. The Right
Rev. Prelate then presented a l'etition from the Archdeacon and
Clergy of the Archdeaconry and Diocese of Norwich in favour of
Catholic Emancipation.
Lord SUFFIELD most cordially concurred in the prayer of
this Petition, and gave his testimony to the exemplary character
of the individuals by whom it was signed.—Read and laid on
the table. •

The Marquis of LANSDOWN had a Petition of a similar
nature to present, which was signed, not, only by the Protestant
Clergy, but by the Representatives of the whole Protestant in•
terest of the County of Kerry. Its prayer was, that their Lord-
ships would grant those of the Catholics, and he s..id it in the
hearing of Noble Lords connected with that county, it was SUIM
scribed by almost every Protestant PArishioner, Miiiiiter, Magis.

Lord DACRE rose to move- the second reading of
the.aime Laws Amendment Bill. He should not en-
gross their Lordships' time to prove the impolicy,
liqustice, and evils of the existing system of laws rela-
tive to Game, for they were fully evinced by the effects
which they produced on the agricultural population of
the country. It was his strong and decided o, in.on,
however, that few questions of greater impottance
could be submitted to the consideration of the House.
The Noble Lord then referred to the ancient laws on
the subject, in order to shew that the Bill only tended
to restore them to their original state. He quoted cases
and former decisions to prove, that Game was once
already considered property, though by the sth of
William and Mary, ell interests, with the exception of
great Landholders, had been excluded from its enjoy.
ment, except thruagh an infraction of the law. It the
present Bill Were passed, fair arrangements would
shortly be made between 'proprietors and tenants,
which would induce the latter to detect instead of en-
couraging the practices which were now going on. It
proposed to make Game property,which should be con-
veyed like any other, and also to permit Game to he
freely sold under regulations which would be best
di cussed in the Committee. The arrangements with
respect to Game might be entered in leases, and in the Committee
he should propose an amendment to that effect. It was admitted
by all that something must be done. Whether the measure oq the
table was what ought to be done, it did not become him to say,
but be thought that with a few amendments, it might be found
useful, as it contained many just principles. Ile introduced the
question, not as.one of G..me, but as one affecting the habits, the
the
Tile Earl of WESTMORELAND admitted the exist-
ence of evils and grievances and wished them to be cot-
ratted, but feared that the present attempt would only
create new ones. He contended that the mea ure, in-
stead of being favourable to the people, would te found
most tyrannical and despotical. It was one b trowea
from the principles of the French Revolution—(Latishier)
--and would affect the rights of every cf,ss in the
country except a favoured few. The Noble Earl then
entered into the d tails of the Bill, and declared th
would turn all England into poachers, and eve y si

man into a robber. The present Game Laws were use-
ful to the tranquillity of the country, because they pre-
vented a general arming of the people. But if this BiU passed,
every individual throughout the land would immediately have aims
in bin ha ids. On all these grounds be should move that the INU be
read a second time this day three mouths.
The Eatl of MALMESBURY admitted ale evils of
the present system, but found no remedy for them in'
the Ball now before the House. He objected to contain
expre.sions used in the preamble as hush and unjti.t.
and trusted that they would be modified if th • Bell
rhhould gee through the Cemmittee. A great advantage
of the Game Laws, as they now stood, was, that they
se.ecerred to the country one of the greats-st blessings
Which it could enjoy, the residence of the Gentry use their estates.—
lle feared that tier measure proposed would discourage the residence
of Country Gentlemen and therefore should oppose it.
Earl DARNLEY conceived the interference of the
Legislate,' e nec,ssat y to settle the question of the Game
1. ws, as it WAS impossible that the present syste m should
go on much longer. The Dill before the House was not perfect,
lent approached nearer what was required than anything which bad
yet besn proposed, and should therefore have his support.
Lord CAL I'HOItPE thought it impossible to exag-
get we the evils of the present system, which evils arose
chiefly from the sale a f game bring prohibited. He
could not, theref ire, refuse his support to a Bell, the ob-
jec: of whi h was to remove ree ge eat productive cau -e of
the-t zisting gri.vances. He thought it would be a pe-
culiarly invechous act in thei-Lordshaps to reject theßill
He had heard it said that any measure of this sort passed by the
other House of Parliament would tritainly be rejected in this. But
Ire trusted their Lordships would consider that they were outfitting
there as landowners merely, but that other considerations and
other duties ought to influence their conduct in deciding upon this
'important question.
Lord SUFFIELD combated the arguments of
those opposed to the Bell, and said that no one had
changed nis opiaios that the present system of Game
Laws was a mo-t prolific source of crime. The Bill
created no new desctiption of propetty.—Game was
always the property of the owner of the soil, aird it re-
mained so under the proposed law: therefore no new
description of property was created. His N &le Friend
wished to have fin ther evidence before they proceeded
with the Bell. Bat they had the evidence constantly
betere them of the great- extent to abed' the present
nefarious traffic was coaled. To reduce that load of
crime by making the sale of game legal, was a great
gond attained. Ile believed in his conscience that game
Would not be diminished by the change; but even it it
should be so to a c.rtain extent, those Gentlemen who in-
dulged 'n sporting would still find sufficient amusement,
and without the demoralising effect of the present system.
lie thought something was due to the public under the improved
state of society, in respect to the existing Game Laws. If be were
mated to define what was so due, be should describe it briefly thus:
first, the owner of the land ought to have the right of killing game
upon his own property ; secondly, be should have the power of
stowing his friends to do so ; and thirdly, those who possessed per-
sonal property only should be allowed to purchase it.
