PARLIAfrf2igrARY PROCEED: WS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 19.

After Come routine bufinefs was difpoled of,their I
Lordfhips proceeded to the Order for the third
reading of the Glenken's Canal Bill. On which
Counfel were direfted to be heard, and accord-
ingly Meffrs. Adam and Dallas were called in.
The former was heard At confiderable length
againti the Bill, and particularly on the part of
Mr. Borry, a mint r, the proprietor of certain
Fitheries liable to be ferioufly affeaed by the courfe
of the projetted Canal. In concluding, the
Learned Counfel urged, that what he had ad-
vanced thould lead to the rejetlion of the Bill, and
chiefly on the ground, thould it pals in its prefent
(late, of letting a very injurious precedent ; at
leaft, he contended, that Tome very material alte-
rations in certain Claufes of the Bill were necef-
Cary.
The hearing of Counfel was fufpended, while a
number of Bills were brought up from the Corn-
mons by Mr. ALEXANDER: Tome of thefe were re-
turn Bills, but among the original Bills were the
Confolidated Fund, Lord Hutchinfon's Annuity,
He of Man Trade, Southern Whale Fifhery, the
Kingfton Port, Uncertificated Bankrupts, and
Deer- haling Prevention Bills.
Mr. Dallas was then heard at tome length in
fi:.uort of the Glenken's Canal Bill.
After the Counfel had concluded, s s .

....... ..._ ____ ..
The LORD Cumicaccoa expreireci his opinion,
that it would he better to poftpone the further con-
fideration of the Bill till Monday. However, what
had pallid rendered it neceffary to trouble the
Houk fhortly upon the fubjed, in the prefent in-
Dance. His Lordfhlp then made a variety of ob-
fcrvations upon the Bill, molt of which contained
ftrong grounds of oblation to the meafure.—
Among other remarks. he obferved, that if the
prefer% ation or fecurity of private property was
one of the leading principles of the Conftitution
of England, and whenever this was affected by
the Ads of the Legiflature, it was always done
with a reference to the principle ofeompenfation ;
but in the prefent Bill it was not fettled how the
damages which may be awarded by a Jury were
to be paid. Another objation was, that by it, the
Proprietors of Settled Eftates were to be permitted
to fell part of the fame, in order to purchafe !hares
in the iatended Navigation. Why it was propokd
to lodge certain monies under the Bill in ti.e
Chancery of England, he could not tell, but he
could not refrain from obferving, that the arrange.
ments which were made refpeCting certain Private
Bills, and particularly Canal Bills, as affeeing the
Court of Chancery, in effect went to render the
Matter of the Rolls and the Chancellor the Under
Clerks of all the Clerks of thole Concerns. A
great deal of time was loft with reified to the re-
gular buChers of that Court by thole regulations,
which, however, his Lordfhip teemed to fay, as
far as they related to Private Eltate Bills, had a
falutary effect. Upon the whole he never heard
of fuch a Bill as that in queftion—it was half pri-
vate and half a public bill, and one elaufe towards
the end, went to render it wholly a Public Ad :
it was framed partly in compliance with their
Lordlhips, and partly againft them, and he agreed
with the Learned Counfel, that fhould the Bill
pals in its prefent fhape, it would go to let a very
dangerous precedent. He concluded by moving,
that the further confider:) ion of the Bill be poll-
poned till Monday.
Lord HOLLAND fpoke at fome length in fupport
of the Bill, and endeavoured to do away fome of
the politions of the Noble and Learned Lord. He
hoped the Noble Lord would bring on the difcuf-
!inn on Monday, and he conjured the Houle to
that etre& He referred to the long and rigorous
examination of its merits before the Committee,
and alto that day at the. Bar. After the trouble
and expence the parties were at, the lots of the
Bill would be a ferious confidtration, which, were
the difcuffion piteponed be)ona Monday,for were
the Bill amended in a certain manner, he feared
would be the cafe.
The LARD CHANCCLLOt and Lord HOLLAND
feverally fpoke in explanation. The queftion was
then put, and the further confideration of the Bill
was poilponed till Monday.
The various bills before the houfe were forward-
led in their fevcral 'lieges, and thofe recently
brought up from the Commons were read a firft
time. /

On the queftion for the commitment of the
Aliens Regulation Bill,
Lord HOLLAND obferved, that his objeftions to
the meafiire were fo ftrong, that he fcarcely knew
how to propofe any Amendment, he therdore
fhould not oppofe its commitment; but should he,
on further confideration, feel a proceeding of that
kind nectlary, it might be done in a fubfegnent
ftage of the Bill, and he gave notice, that he fhould
on Monday move that their Lordfhips be fum-
moned for whatever day the third reading of the
Bill may be fixed.
The Bill then pallid the Committee, with Tome
Amendments propofed by Lord PELHAM, and at
fcv o'clock their Lordthips adjourned till Mon.
day.
