PARLLiMENT,IRT PROCF.EDANGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, APRPL 17.

The Houk met foon after two, when Mr. Adam was fur-
,her heard in the Aretai Cattle, COIOIICI Fullarton r. Sir Hugh
I '..lrymple, and at five o'clock he chafed his Cafc, whaling to
1.;;:lfelf the right to telly when his Learned Friends for the Re-
frondent fhould have gone through their arguments. The fur-
ther hearing was adjourned to a future day.
Five Bills were brought ur from the Commons. and prefent-
ed by Sir CHARLLI, DI*NDAS and others, which were after-
wads read a fut. time.

Lord Aucx LAND ink, previous to the Order of
the Day being gone into, to exprefs the conviaion
he fit, that much confution and inconvenience
Arnie from coupling two Divorce Bills, viz. that
of Mrs. Atldifon and that of Dr. Campbell, and
letting them Rand for confederation on the fame
day, when no two applications for Divorce could
reft upon grounds more widely diflina and differ-
ent. Ilisl.ordfhip Paid, it had been fuppored that
!.c felt a bias a particular way on theoccafion, but
thofe were egregioufly millaken who imagined
that he had yet made up his mind on the fulljea.
lie had never undergone more cmbarraflment in
What manner to come to a decifion than on this
queflion.—He was perfdtly aware that Mrs. Ad-
difon's application was a novelty, perhaps an in-
novation, and would, in all probability, as had
been well and powerfully (fated in a late conver-
Cation, by a Noble and Learned Friend of his
(Lord Elden), efiablith a dangerous precedent,
and open a door to endlefs collufion, and endlefs
mifchief. On the other hand it was impoffible for
any of their Lordfhips not to feel the greatell dif-
ficulty in refuting to afford Mrs. Addifon relief;
after that lady bad fully and fatisfaaorily made
nut a very
sarong and a very enormous cafe. Let
theta- lot a moment reflea on the light in which
the Honfe would (land, if, as in all probability,
I)r. Campbell obtained his Divorce, and Mrs.Ad-
difon fhould be refuted relief; after having received
an lath and injury of fo deep a dye, as that of an
intrigue carried on with her own fifter-fyflemati-
eally for a confiderable period of thne—Mrs.Camp-
boll who, after Her incefluous commerce with her
brother-in-law, could never face her hutband
again, and after having by her wicked condua
(woken the peace of her filler's mind, and difturb-
ed and deliroyed the happitiefs of an amiable and
virtuous family, would be releafed from all diffi-
culty and ernbarradinatt, while her innocent fitter,
who, it was impoffible to fuppore, could ever
bring herfelf to live with her gudty hufband again,
would
be denied the power of marrying another,
though her rater, the fource of all the domeftic
difgrace and unhappinefs, would be enabled to
marry any man the chpfe. Feeling the importance
of all their confiderations, his Lordfhip Paid he
omit earne ly %viand the fishnet of Mrs. Addifon's
cafe, to undergo a Rill, a ferious, and deliberate
diktat-Jo on its own merits, unconnected with any
other topic, and be wilted that it might particu-
larly engage the attention of the Right Reverend
Bench, who. I,e hoped, would feel it to be a Cub-
jai that elpecially required their confideration.
His Lordiluß concluded with raying, that having
already ftepped to the Bar, and afked the Counfel
(Mr. Adam) if a little delay would make any dif-
ference to the parties ? who Paid it would not, he
moved to difchargc the Order for the further hear.
lug to-morrow: and moved, That a further pro.
cceding upon. Mrs. Addifon's Divorce Bill be ap-.
pointed for that day fortnight.—Ordered.
