WOOLLEN PIANtIFACTURERI.

Admiral EERKELEY Moved the Order of the
Day for the third reading of the Woollen Mitnufac-
curers' Bill, on which

Mr. P. MOORE moved that Counfel &Quid be
called in and heard *gait& the Bill, but the Speaker
fuggefting that the third reading of the Bill, accord.
ing to the order of proceeding, thould firft be agreed
to, and then previous to that reading the Honoura-
ble Member might introduce his motion.
This form being therefore complied with, and it
being afcertained by the Serjeant at Arms that
Counfel were waiting to be heard, the queftion was
put for their admiffion.
This queftion Admiral BIaaILEY and Mr. Thor-
ax sow oppofed on the ground of creating delay. It
was a Bill for the Sulpenfion of Penalties that, by
former ABs of Parliament, were liable to be impof
ed on the Manufaaurers for praaices which the inte-

ref! of the trade required.
The Ad patted for this purpofe laft felon expired
in the courfe of ten days, and were this not paired
before that period, an opportunity would be given to
fuch as might be fa difpofed, to moleft and perfecnte
the manufaeurers.

Mr. MOORE (poke in favour of the petitioning
party. They were by no means anxious for delay,
but on the contrary walled the bufinefs to be fettled.
The Bill had been before the Houfe two years, and
was intended to prevent the due execution of arts
that ought, in the opinion of the petitioners, to be
enforced, and were neeeffitry to the prefervation and
profperity of the trade.
Mr. WILBERFORCE was friendly to the Bill,
but at the fame time thought it fair that the peti-
tioners &could have an opportunity of Rating. their
vases on the fubjea, and therefore would give his
vote for the adrniffion of Counfel.
The queßion however was negatived without a
divifion, and the Bill read a th;rd time and paired.
