PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OP LORDS, FRIDAY, MAY sr.

Counfel were heard relative to the Scotch Appeal, John
Morthland, Ffq. Advocate, and John Johnibme,. Printer, in
Edinburgh, v. John Cadet), Efq. one of his•ifajefirs Jußims
of the Peace for, and a Deputy Lieutenant of the County of
Raddington, namely, Mr. Adam, at eonliderable length, as
leading Csiunfcl for the Appellants, after which their Lordibips
deferred the further bearing till Tuefday next.
The Militia Regulation Bill was brought up from the Com-
mons by the Secretary at War. The Lottery and the Elediai
Cornmi&nets Bill were prelented by Mr. Alezander.
On the motion of Lord WA Lit NOTIA $l, the Militia Bin was
ordered to bg printed for the ufe of their Lordibips.
A number of private Bills were brought up from the Com-
mons by the Marquis of Worecßer, Mr.-Lefevre, Mr. Laf-
cellcs, and other Gentlemen.
On the queftion being put for the Houfe to re-
(Ave itfelf into a Committee on the Manure Sale
Bill,
Lord Hot.T.avn rofe, not, he raid, to oppofe
the Bill altogether, but to Rate his reafons why
the farther progiefi of the Bill fhould be poll-
poned. He espreXed Es difapprobation of the
praltice too prevalent of late, of recurring to the
lAgiflature on occafions not of fufficient import-
ance to engage its attention, or on rubjeCts of fuch
a nature, as that Members of Parliament in ge-
neral could not he fuppored to be fufficiently con-
verfant with. The Bill in gitellion was exprefaly
liable to both thcfe objeCtions ; it would appear as
if even the very dunghills were raked for matter
to legiflate upon. It was certainly below the dig-
nity, and as certainly not in the province of the
Legiflature of the country, to defcend to the con-
fideration of fuch low and trivial (objets. An.
other confideration was, that the fubjelt of the
prefent Bid was emphatically of that nature in
which the country could not well imagine that the
Members of the ether Houfe of Parhament, and

fill lef, that the Members of that Houfe could be
adequately informed. Indeed it was no difya-
ragPment to them that they were not : for no cne
could fufpeft, that the noble natures-of their Lord-
'hips, or their general habits or purfuits, would
lead them to wialyfe the contents ()Ca dung cart
—for fuch, literally, was the fubjeft matter of the
prefent 1311. He lamented that Bills of a trifling
and unimportant nature had of late to far multi-
plied, as it might be laid they were fent up to that
Houle by the Winchefter bufhel. On the con-
trary, he would tuber fee the number of flames
deereafed ; there were neceffarily many obfolete
and inefficient ones upon the book, and thole tend-
ed to check, inflead of invigorating the operation
of thofe which were neceffary and efficient. With
refped to theft kind of regulations, the Legifla-
titre fhould not adopt a meafure without being
previoufly informed of the nature of the feveral
fads, and the neccfrary fads conneded with them,
or very ferietr confequences may enfue. Of this
they had a very linking inflance, About two Sef-
lions hack, when Parliament hallily adopted fume
legiflative provifion with refpeft to a very import-
ant on which, as the event ffiewed, they
were not fufficiently informed. He alluded to the
occafion on which the Le filature were undir the
neceflity of retracing their Reps, in order to prevent
the people from being poifoned, and proceeded to
repeal the Bill without waiting to go through the
ordinary forms of Parliament. With refped to
the particular cafe before the Houfe, he did not,
as far as his information went, fee the leaf need-
fit), for a legiflative provifion on the fubjed. Our
Code of Laws were furely not fo deficient as not
to afford an adequate cure for the evil, which the
Bili profeired to remedy, which was merely to
fupprefs the praLice of felling a commodity as
that which it was not. There were, he was con-
fident, remedies to be found for this evil in the '
multitude of legiflative regulations which already
exifted. However, in the prefent inflanee, to give
their Lordfhips an opportunity of gaining infor-
mation on the fubjed, which would enable them
to judge of the neeeffity of fuch meafure, he
would propofe, "That the Committee on the Bill
be poßponed till Monday next."
There abferiations teeming to meet the fenfe of
the Houle, the queflion was put, and the commit-
ment of the Bill ordered to be poßponed accord-
ingly.
Some private bufinefs was then difpofed of, after
which their Lordihips adjourned till Monday.
