The Earl of DERBY presented two Petitions from Bolton-le-
Moon, one from the Journeymen Cotton-spinners, praying for a
limitation of working hours: the other from the Inhattitants of the
place, in favour of an alteratitm in the Corn Laws. Laid on the table.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a Petition from the
Land-owners of Hadleigh, in the County of Suffolk, anainst the
Bill for allowing the introduction and sale of Bonded Corn.
The Rarl of MALMRSBURY suggested the propriely of de-
laying the Committee on that Bill, on account of the alt4ence of
certain Returns, which were not yet before the House.
After some conversation, the Earl of livearoot. consented to
pot off the Committee till next Tuesday, on condition that there
meld be no objection to the Bill being read a third time on the
following day.,--The Petition was then laid on thestable, with two
others to the same effect from Hundreds in the same County.
Petitions in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill were presented by
the Duke of Ricnnown and Earl of Taxxsavicte, from Birming-
ham and Whitby.—Laid on the table.
Mr. BROGDIN and others, from the Commons, brought the Ex-
chequer Bills for Public Works in Ireland Bill, the Canada Incor-
porated Company's Bill, sada great number of Private Bills, which
were read a first time.
Mr. Hum presented Returns from the Equitable Loan Company,
pursuant to the orders of the House.—Laid on the table.
Earl DARNLEY complained, that tbe Returns which bad been
laid on the table and printed, on tae subject of the Quarantine
Laws, were not perfect, and expressed his intention, to-morrow or
Monday next, to move for Copies or Extracts of any Communica-
tions which might have been received by his Majesty's Govern-
ment on this subject, from the British Consuls in the tlediterra-
nean. He also wished to know whether it was true, that Foreign
Powers had already laid restrictions on the entrance of British ves-
sels into their ports, In consequence of the expected removal of our
Qufiantine Laws ? If this were :be case, it would become a consi-
deration, whether our trade would not suffer more than it would
gain by the measure? •
The Earl of LIVERPOOL recommended to the Noble Earl to
suspend his observations till the Bill should be before the House,
that be Might exactly know what were its provisions • for a wrong
idea prevailed that it was intended to alter all our Quarantine Laws
and to set the whole system loose. There was no intention what,
ever to abolish the customary airing of vessels and objects coming
from the Levant. It was only proposed to do away some very
inconvenient regulations which were totally unnecessary. If the
Noble Earl would postpone his motion dB Tuesday next, it would
probably be then in his (the Earl of Liverpool's) power to move the
Order of the Day for the first or second reading of the Bill.
Earl DARNLEY hoped that the Noble Earl would be able to
state to-morrow, or at the latest on Tuesday next, whether Bri-
tish vessels bad experiented any difficulty in entering foreign ports
, in consequence of the measure now in progress.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a Petition from the
Town of Beminster, in the County of Dorset, in favour of the Ca-
tholic Claims. The Noble Marquis stated that he presented it al-
though the Catholic Bill bad been rejected, because he did not con-
sider the question as finally disposed of. It was one, on the con-
trary, which Must continue to tome yearly before the Heise till
justice should be don* to one-thild of the population of the empire.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he should not oppose
the Petition, but that be had received several Petitions himself of
a different nature since the rejection of the Catholic BM which be
bad not presented on account of the decision which the House had
then taken.—The Petition was then laid on the table.
NATURALIZATION.

VisconntaELVlLLE rose to move the first reading
of the Bill, of .which he bad gives notice.yesterd4y, for
making some alteration in the mode of obtaining nato •
ralization. As the law nOw•stood, it was not only re-
quired that persons should have taken the Oaths of
Supremacy and Allegiance, but that within one month
before naturalization they should have received the
Sacrament according' to the forms of the Church of
England. It was the same with respect to restoration
of blood; for though by the Act of Union it was settled
that no religious test should be required from-indivi-
duals belonging to Scotland, yet persons so situated as
the Earl of Mar, whose blood had been restored by Act',
of Parliament, were obliged by the present law to take'
the Sacrament according to the forms of the English
Church. Now it happened that many individuals,
though Protestant, never were or could be of the Church
of England, an.! it was a great hardship for them to be
subjected to such a test. That a person should be a
Protestant was all that was requisite, and the taking the
oath of Supremacy sufficiently proved it. . Their Lord-
ships knew that an Alien, even when naturalized, did
not enjoy all the prerogatives of a natural horn subject.
With respect to the mode of naturalization, he should
propose the same regulations as in the case of persons
restored in blood, and the present Bill would pot it in their Lord•
ships' power, and sofficleat cause bein4 shown to '
justify absence,
to allow the naturalisation Oaths to be taken elsewhere, and proofs
of them being so taken to be received at the Box. He should now
twee the first reeding of the Bill.
After a few indistinct words from the Earl. of I•4IHIWZDALS and
Lyres:oat, the 11111 was read a first time.
Earl BATHURST presented printed Papers relative to the
situation of Slaves in the Colonies.—Laid on the table.
LAWS Of FORFEITURE AND ATTAINT OF 111.00 b.
Lord HOLLAND moved the Order of the Day for the second
reading of the Attainder BILL
On the motion of the. Noble Lord, the Act of 7th of Queen
Elisabeth, sec. 10. chap. et ; that of the 17th Geo. IL and that of
the lith Geo. 111. were read pro forma.
Lord HOLLAND then said, that in submitting the
motion to th it Lordships, although he was satisfied
that it was founded on principles that were natural,
that were just, that were those of sound policy and of
good faith, he felt it neces'ary to make.some apology,
lest he might be subjected to a charge of presumption,'
in attempting to induce dreirLordships to do that which
they had not been induced to do, although solicited by
, some of the highest charActers this country had ever prc-
duced ; for in the attempt he now made, he remem-
bered that Lord Somers, Lord Hardwick; Justice
Blackstone, and Sir Samuel Romilly had failed; if
then, he, who bad neither the weight nor the knowledge
of thOse eminent men, came forward in the hope of
doing thakwhich they had been unable to do, he feared
he shouLl be accused of vanity: But he had been in
eluted to make the attempt. because of malty little cir-
cumstances to which it was not material to revert, be-
.cause there was somedring in the nature ut the times
encouraged him, ancl e b
—CAUSE the. House bad been,l4
two.seahons occupied, at the suggestion of a N. b!e
Lord (Melville) opposite, in improvieg the laws of that
part ut the UliitedKingdom called Scotland.; and ot
copied ale in removing itnne of those laws-which had
prevented ti.e restoration of Noble Families to the rank
to which they were entitled . by birth. At the present

time there was no competitor for the Crown, nor no
fear of treasin among any part of his Majesty's sub-
jects. He was induced therefore to hope that the
pre ent time was a most auspicious one, and that
unable as he was to do petite to so *portant a
subject, the circumstances under which he brought
it before the notice of their Lordships, might warrant
him in the anticipation of its sacceisful result.—
He should have been more pleased tf fie Noble Viscount
(Wyille) had himself proposed it, but that Noble Lord
was occupied with other subjects, and had that day
brought in a Bill to remove some of those evil cone-
(pence: that flowed from laws which affected that part
of the country to which the Noble Viscount was naturally
attached. The object of the Bill, of which he Laid
Holland) now moved the second reading, was not ill
any degree to lessen the punishment for .high treason.
It was merely to limit that punishment to the guilty,
4nd to shelter the innocent from its consequences: It
was not to excite any morbid sensibility towards -those
who had committed crime, beet to do justice towards
those who had committed none, and who could not coma
mit any. The object of the Bill was especialli to re- ,
store to Scotland its ancient law, the la to which it
was attached; and totairy into effect lab
the intentions of
the British Legislatdre, which had been twice held out
to that country. He well knew that in proposing any
thing that appears to be approaching to any alteration
in the criminal law, he should have to encounter the

bugbear innovation, but nothing of *hat was reason-
able in the objection to innovation t ould. apPly to this
Bill. With respect to one part of the country, his
motion would not be for innovation but for restitution
—it would be to plate the law of Scotland as it had been
before the passing of an alien law to remove an anomaly
which was contrary to the nature, and might produce
dangets affecting tht prosperity of that country.—
Could thst be called innovation which was sanction-

ed by the British Parliament of the lalt century ?,
From the Noble Lord on the Woolsack he could not
apprehend opposition, as that Noble Lord bad done
away with the appeal of murder, though one of the
most ancient of customs. Noble Lord had called
for the repeal of that law, •as contrary to the Spirit of
thetimes. Upon the same grounds, , the Bill before
the Houle deserved the support of the Noble Lord. The
law of corruption of blood was no part of the old Saxon
law. It first was recognized as part of the law in the
time of Henry VIII. With respect tdlreland, the law
of forfeiture was repealed, as an intolerable grievance,
and as leading to much of the dissention that prevailed
in that country. Indeed the law of entail that gave the
Noble LOW and his coadjutofs in that House so touch
trouble,. arose from a wish to counteract the law cf,for-
feture, and to get rid of that law yes a principal object
of the great men of that day in joining in the Revolution.
—At the time of the Union an understanding pre-
vailed, that the law of corruption tsf . blood was to be
done away. But at a subsequent period a Bill was
brought in to extend the law of corruption of blood to
-Scotland. That Bill was warmly opposed, and was
passed after long debates, and a protest was signed by
thirteen out of the sixteen Scotch Peers. In'sbe-House
of Commons, the clause of corruption of blirod was
omitted. When the Bell came back to the Lords, that
House did not treat the House of Commons as not
speaking the sense of the people. The clause was ad-
mitted, but with a proviso that itras not to come into
operati.in during the life of the Pretender. But so far
was that, from producing the desired effect, that two
rebellions bruke out in Ireland, and led to the ruin of
many-noble families. The clause was then extended to
the livesof the Pretender's sons. He was inclined to
think he had taken up their Lordships time unne-
cessarily, so clear was the equity and good 'po-
licy-of the measure. The authority of Cicero- bad
been cited in favour of forfeiture of property; bat the
epistle of Cicero that had been quoted was, by the best
critics, accounted to be spurious. The laws of treason,
it history was to be appealed to; hal produced more
rebellious than they had ever prevented. The law of the for feigie
& property in Ireland had contributed mainly to the troubles g
that distracted country. In times of tranquillity like the premise a
meuurs of this kind ought to be adopted; and there wis no princi-
ple mere clear than that the Innocent should not golfer fat the guilty.
Lord COLCHESTER said, the Bill of the Noble
Baron went to tepee' a law that he ,had brought into
the o:her House twenty-six years ago. The Clause
that extended the provisions of the Act bad been intro-
duced by LorJ Hardwicke, and had also the approba-
tion of that eminent Judge, Sir Michael Foster. The
Noble lard moved, at an Amendment, that the Bill be read a
ilecesd dine that day six months. •
Lord -ROSEBERRY was of opinion, thrattlrever were
abundant reasons for passing the Bill. By the 'slating
taw, the Act of Union bet Ween the two cagoules of libiglasa end
ioodand bad been violated. No such law would be adeitithein
the present day.
Lord MELVILLE complimented t'sen ,ble Mover
on the able manner in which he had treated the subject.
At the same time, be took the same view of the Bill volatile Noble
Bann on the cross bench (Lard Ceiefieucr). He mad set ir the
length of abolishing the whole of the taw of high treasellr
Lord REDESDALE said, that it was impoisible to
frame a law of public policy that would not in kotTle
measure affect prieate rights. The law bad been pro-
ductive of beneficial effects, and ought to be continued.
He had heard of a northers Indy, whose hissband, in -
1745, was upon the point of joining the rebels ; the Lady
forged a warrant from the Secretary of State for mien
her husband into custody—he was aecbrdingly taken
into custody. She then wrote to the Secretary of State, itifhhoing
him of what she had done, and applying for a genuine warrant ;
that was granted, and the Lady boasted abs had saved the estate.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought -the law el
forfeiture should-be continued, as deterring•from tree-
son, The forfeiture took place because the whole
interest was in the party offendipg. The Bill would
give property to those who could not have taken it
but for the trea.on of another. He did not see the
same objection to altering the law as to corruption of
blond, as to forfeiture of property. Should the Bill ao
to a Committee, be should propose to each de the words 48
Ttrasath" and Liam the words." Petty Treason and blinder."
Lord HOLLMIII replied.—The Heusi divided— •
