The utility of the purpofe which he had in 1,4", was
fo obvioys, that he need Act troUble, the ffotifelat
any length On the &Ilea. The Moore was aware
' that it was the practice to fit a certain day, beyond
which, private petitions could not be prelented. 'This
was done, he apprehended, on this principle, that all
the bills might be patted within • the felon. Thii
principle, however, had been defeated by the latitude
allowed with refped to the time of bringing; foriard
bills on thefe petitions. His objea, howiters Was
merely to complete the principle which tba Wolfe
bad already adopted. In addition to what had been
done, he propofed to fix the lan day for prefentiagl
bi:ls upon the petitions, and alto the left day forre-
ceiving the reports of there hills. He held in his.hand
a paper which !hewed that th : number of private Hills'
prefented towards the-dole of the fefflon had been for
kne years pakincreafing. And fait year particu-
larly it appeared that, out of eat bills, no left than
3 t had been prefented after the King's birth day;and
78 reported upon. This:was-far beyond what coal&
be allowed in eonfiftency with the convenience elf,thel
Houte and I fp irticutar Mtstsbeis. The `an Friday did
February tins the day beyond whichpriaatepetitions
were not at prefent allowed to be psefentect . He I
thought that the parties would have abundant tel
I
to prepare the bills before the 26th of Marchp_arid .
therefore he would propole that this *add be lied•
as the !all dayfor receiving private bills. This Wbalti
be no inconvenience,* in cafe of inclofures atul'irt
cultural bills, notices were fixed on the church dont*,
in the months of Auguft and Septemtler, and inl
others,notices were given during the fame. months at
the Harter Stilions aedin the county papers. Every
perfon concerned, therefore, would. have full time
to make up his mind, and to be prepared before Bai-
ter. But this would be as nugatory as the former
order had been found to be, unkfs a day was fixed,
.beyond which the repoftsaai thefe bills could not be
received., At prefect fivedays inclufive intervened
1-between the firft and the fecond readings: The.bide
were generally committed on the eighth day from.the
time of their being brought forward. He thought
that the reports might very well be made within Gel
or eight weeks from the fame time, fo as to enable
the Lords to pals the bills before the birth day.. He
would, therefore, preppie that the i ith of May mould
be the loft day for-receiving tepoits upon private bills.
Some greater delay might be allowed in cafes oflrith
bills. But though 21 cleys• Mail intervene between
the firft and fecond readings of *loch bills, he dill'
thought that-they miglif very well be brought within
this general rule. But the Houle, in adopting a ge.
neral rule, did not give up its difcretion. Even at
prefent the (landing order of the Rode was difpeafed
with in cafes of noticei tipon fpecial cattle being I
Ihewn. But at the fame time it would be important'
to adhere to the general rule, except in very particu-
lar cafes ; for its utility would be • deftroyed if it
fhould be once underftOod that ittotdd be difpented.
with on flight grounds.' It would be of great conve-
nience to the parties, and to the Members, efpecially
Members of Counties, that the private bufinefs tlionld
be completed with ell poffible difpatch. He conclud
ed by moving, " that the Order, fixing the hat Fri.
day February, as the laft day on which Faeroe
Petitions would be received, thoold be read, that die
a6th of Match flu dd be appointed as the left, day
far receiving Private Bills, that the t : th of Maythould,
be fixed as the laft day for receiving Reports upon
thefe Bills, and that an order &mild be made-for pro.
Instigating there Refolutions, that every one aught
have due notice of them." They were only Iterdo,
lions for the .crefent year, and matter of experiment.
' If they Should be found ufeful and ' praatical. they
might hereafter be fettled as crders. He had the eon-
' currence of the country Gentlemen, end ilf thole !who
I might befuppriled to be belt acquainted with the

jest , he bad no very great objedioo to there midi,.
nom. Bin he mull fay ht the fame time,• that they
were what a Righr Honourable Friend of the .N.oble
Lord's (Mr. Windham) had charaOerifed as mea-
fines of unneceffary legifiation. The grounds flame.
by the Noble Lord did not altogether bear him out:
He bad not proved that any, great inconvenience
ratified from thefe Bills accumulating after the birth '
day, for laft year Parliament had fat long after that
time, and decided uponmatters of the higheff impnr-'
lance, fueh as our arrangements. He apprehended
too that the adoption of tbefe Refoluttons mig,ht-
be,very inconvenient both to . the agents and the
parties.i ,

Mr.FOLLE it highly *proved of the regulations,
as they might be theineans of Ibortening the feffion
and prove eery Convenient to the country gentlemen,
and to chore who did not come to the Houle to make
their fortunes.
Mr. FELLOWEg agreed that they would be Tar
convenient. -He hinafelf had often felt the great in•
convenience•attending the delays that took -plate in
cafes of private bills, and thought that the' Hoare
was under great obligations to• the Noble Lord for
having turned his attention to the fubjee. - Hd fug-
gelled the propriety of hiving the private bills enu-
merated-in the votes, and the days in which they came
on,lhat Members might have the. earlieft and moll
authentic notice on that point. This he merely threw
out as afuggeft ion for the confide rat ion ofhis Lordthip.'
Mr. JOHNSTONE, obferving upon the point of
fhortening • the Seffion; --silted whether the Noble
Lord was diffident as to the nimber of fentiments of
his friends, fitice he betrayed fo much anxiety to get
rid of them ?
Lord HOWICE replied that he only felt anxisma,

confequence, would be, that if the public bane?*
cnald be Coon Willed, Parliament mutt either fit to,
pats thefe private Bills, or they moil he loft, and all',
the expence attending them would be to no purpore..l
As to his anxiety about difiniffing his friends, be
wiffied that, on a former. ocotillo, an opportitrity
had been given of (hewing the fenfe of the Hattie,
and he hoped that the Hon. Gentleman would take
the eirlieft oppoltnnity of .doing, fo. The motions
were then agreed to, and the Refolutions ordered to
be printed,
Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the
Ways and- Means. Refolutiont agreed to, and Bills
