PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDLVGL

SOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 17.
Mr: LIMP, from the Treasury, presented Accounts relative to
the Russian and Dutch Loans ; and entrants and copies of war-
rants authorising compensation to (Miters of the Court of Sessions
for loss of fees.—Laid en the table.
Lord SUFFIELD held a Petition from the Justices of the
Peace of toe County of Norwich, assembkd at the Quarter Sessions
held in the Castle of Norwich, praying for an alteration in the Game
Laws. He should not trouble the House with many words on the
subject of the Petition : it would he sufficient for him to say that it
was almost the same as the one which he had presented last year,
but which, front some informality, had not been received. He had
chosen this opportunity of presenting it, as he understood that a
motion was to be made this day in another place, fur leave to bring
in a Bill to alter the provisions of those laws. He hoped that it
would be different from that which bad been introduced last year,
and drawn up" in a more effective manner. He bad, indeed, had it
in contemplation to propose a measure on the subject to their Lord-
ships himself, as it was one of great importance to the community,
but he had relinquished the idea as such a Bill must contain penal-
ties, which could only originate in the other House. He trusted,
however, that when it should come before them, it would receive
from their Lordships all the attention which the subject deserved,
and all the ameliorations of which it was capable. The Petition
!awing been read,
Earl DARN LEY expressed his entire concurrence In its recom-
mendatioi s. The Magistrates of the County of Norfolk were perhaps
better qualißed than the Magistrates of any other county to judge
of the bad effects of the Game Laws. They mere laws of an in-
jurious tendency, and required to be greatly altered. At the same
time he should suggest to their Lordships, the propriety of not
trusting entirely to the Report which would be made in another
place, but of submitting the state of those laws to the investigation
of a Committee of their own.—The Petition was laid on the table.
On the motion of the Earl of Snarresatae, a message was or-
dered to be sent to the Commons, to request the attendance of
certain Members of their House upon the Committee of their Lord-
ships on the State of Ireland.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
A Petition was presented, praying for leave to bribg in a Bill for
the Incorporation of a Metropolitan Fish Company.—Ordered to
lie on the table.
Leave was granted, pursuant to a Petition presented on a former I
day, to bring in a Bill !or the Improvement of Tothill-fields.
The Equitable Loan Bank Bill was brought in, and read a
first time.
A Petition was presented from New Ross, complaining of the
Amount of the Bristol Part Dues.
Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition front the Parish of
St. Olavc, City of London, praying for the adoption of some mea-
sure to equalize the amount of Tithes in the City. The Honourable
Member observed, that in some parts of the City, the inhabitants
paid only one shilling, where others paid two shillings and ninepence
in the pound. He thought a measure of this kind was very much
wanted.—Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY presented a Petition from the Sub-
scribers to the Peruvian Mining Company, praying for leave to
bring in a 11111 to incorporate that Company.—Leave granted.
Sir J 01IN STEWART presented a Petition from the Presby-
terian and other Inhabitants of the Parish of Artrow, County
Tyrone, reqpesting the House to adopt such measures with respect
-to the CathSlic disabilities as the exigency of the cue may require.
(It was understood the Petitioners were unfavourable to the claims
of the Catholic4.—Ordered to lie ou the table.
A Return wilt ordered of the number of gallons of Spirits made
in the Highlands of Scotland, during the last year.
Mr. LINDSAY presented a Petition from Glasgow, in favour
of the County Courts' Bill.—Ordered to be printed.
Lord LOWTHER presented similar Petitions front Tiverton
and Carlisle.—Ordered to be printed.
On the motion of Mr. Catcsarv, a Return was ordered of the
quantity of Wine bonded and remaining in Dock, for the years
1823 and 1821.
Air. CA LC RA FT, on behalf of Mr. Gossimmi, gave notice of a
motion relative to Bank of England Balances, on Wednesday next.
. Mr. IIA RT DAVIS presented a Petition from the Parish of St.
Stephen's, Bristol, against the Catholic Aeociatiott.—Ordered to
lie on the table.
Mr. W ARRE presented a Petition front the Inhabitants of
Watchani (Norfolk), praying fur the Repeal of the Duty upon
Coals.—Ordered to he printed.
Mr. R. COLBU RN presented a Petition front Norfolk, in
favour'of the Repeal of the Coal Duties.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a Petition front Newcastle,
against the Receipt Stamp Duties.
A SSESSZD TAXES.
Mr. M ABERLEY presented a Petition from Abing-
don, for the r epeal of the House and Window Taxes.
He expressed his hope, that as it appeared there was no
less a balance than 6,500,0001. of income above the ex-
penditure, that the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer)'opposite would be enabled to
take off the whole of the Assessed Taxes. He trusted
that the pretext of the necessity of keeping up the Sink-
ing Fund would no longer be resorted to., it had been
said that the Sinking Fund was an advantage to the
stockholder, from the daily purchases of the Commis-
sioners keepiirg up the prices of the different stocks;
but that could no longer be urged, since the system of
daily purchases was now abandoned by the Commis-
sioners for redeeming the debt. He should hope that
the Right Honourable Gentleman would feel that
the best sinking fund was to leave the money in the
pockets of the people, by whom it would not fail to be
advantageously employed. He would take this oppor-
tunity of giving notice, that he would, on the Btlf of
March, move for the Repeal of what he considered a disgrace to
our Statute Book, he meant the tax upon Beer. He had already
appLoached the House twice on the subject; on the -last occasion
witE a view of equalising the Beer Duties, through the medium of
the Malt Tax ; but in both motions be had failed ; it was therefore
his intention now to move the Reptal of the whole of the Beer
Duties, on the ground of its partial and unjust operation.
Mr. HUIIE hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would extend his deserved popularity, by repealing the
Assessed Taxes. There were two classes of persons,
those who paid, and those who received Poor Rates,
and to the former the repeal of these taxes would be a
most essential relief, as with many of them a shilling
would turn the scale, and from payers of rates. convert
them into receivers of them. On the other subject on
which his Honourable Friend had given notice, be could
IVA conceive upon what pr incipre the Gentlemen on the
Ministerial side of the House, who were advocates fur equal taxa-
- ton, could reconcile it to their principles to make the poor man pay
20s. a barrel for his titer more tiro; the rich. Ile begged to press
this upon the attention of the Right lion. Gentleman before be
brought forward bietinancial statement, and he hoped he would be
able to relieve the poor from the partial load of taxation under
-wild' they laboured.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he held in his hand a Peti-
tion on the subject which had so recently been dis-
cussed in that House, and it was not his intention, on
the present occasion, to renew that discussion. It was
the Petition of a great number of individuals, who,
consistently with the orders of the House, could only

vestigatioo.—The Petition was then brought up, and read short
by the Clerk at the table ; it purported to be " T6e Petition of the
undersigned 'Members et the Catholic Association of Ireland."
Mr. HUME said, the principal ground on which, the
measure against the Association was founded, was two
or three worth, of which he was requested to offer an
explanation ; the words wete—g, By the hate you bear
to Orangemen." Those words of the Address were
pointed at those Orangenten who had been engaged in

countrymen. How extremely unfair, therefore, was
it to apply those words as if they had a general appli-
cation. The letter which he held in his hand was from
the individual who had objected to them whtn the
Address was considered. He had then received that
explanation. The espession thus limited was by no
means unnatural. He was instructed to state that what had hems
advanced by the Hight Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Omahas*
was wholly nnfoundel—The Petition was then laid so the tabie,l
and ordered to be printed.
Mr.BROUGHAM presented a Petition from Newry,
signed by 900 persons, against the Bill for putting
down the Catholic Association. The Petitioners said,
they had been compelled to Petition for the redress of
their grievances, and prayed that the Irish Catltolics
might be resieked to their rights, of which they had
been deprived, in violation of a solemn treaty; and that the resto-
ration of their privileges would do away with the Catholic Asso-
ciation.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. BROUGHAM gave notice, that to-morrow be
should submit a motion on the first of the Petitions,
which be hoped would be contained in the votes of the How, and.
that it might be allowed precedence of the other business of the day
STATE OF IRELAND.
Mr. GOULBURN rose to move for the revival of
the Select Committee of last year on the State of Ire-
land. But instead or being limited to particular dis-
tricts, lie proposed to extend it to the whole of Ireland. He
should also move to enlarge the number of Members, and to sub-1
stitnte others in the room of some who were absent.
Lord ALTHORP was happy that the Right Hai
nourable Gentleman had now thought it proper to extend the in;
spiry to the whole of Ireland.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that that circumstance
had been contemplated when the former Committee was appointed.
Mr. S. RICE said, that he would have acceded to a
motion for a Committee composed wholly of English Members,
and that the Irish Members should be examined as witnesses.—
The motion was agreed to.

GAMS LAWS.
Mr. S. WORTLEY moved for leave to bring in a
Bill to amend the existing Game Laws, which was pre-
cisely the same, he said, as that which he bad submitted to the
House in the last Session of Parliament.
Mr. CURWEN said, that the evils of the present
system were obvious, and such as required alteration.
The jails were filled with poachem—game was destroyed to a ow
siderable extent, and was, in many places. openly sold, notwith-
standing the penalties which were imposed for the purpose of pro-
vesting it. He highly approved of the general priociple of the DIU.
Mr. Secretary PEEL was prepared to give she mea-
sure his support, but for a different reason from that
which had been assigned by the Honourable Member
who spoke last. He thought thin law must be most beneficial
which should be most effectual in potting down poaching. For this
reason he supported the measore which made the sale of prat
legal. He would have preferred that the experiment should be
made on this point alone, and*. only objection to his Honour-
able Friend's plan was, that it was too extensive.
Mr. S. WORTLEY, speaking from his own expe-
tience, was of opinion that the setting of spring guns
prevented scenes which would be ten times more fatal
than any which could result from them. Ile trusted that theßill, if he
should obtain leave to introduce it, would receive a fuU and fair dis-
cussion. Whatever might be the judgment of the House respect-
ing it, he should feel the pleasing conviction that he had endeavoured
to ameliorate a state of law which he considered to stand in great
need of reform—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
TUIRNPIKS TRUSTs.
Lord LOWTIIER rose to submit a motion to the
House relative to Turnpike Trusts in the neighbour-
hood of London. On the north side of London, in the
space of three Miles, there were ten Turnpikes, three
sets of Commissioners, and three Acts of Parliament.
The Commissioners were in the habit of borrowing
money from each other at the rate of 10 per cent. In
one of those Trusts there was one item of 4,7001. for
interest, and Trustees for Roads were summoned to
swear in Special Juries, which he conceived to be a
great abuse. Those Trustees were also in the habit of
playing into each others hands. When the funds were
the greatest, the debt also was so. What he wished fin.
was a Committee of Inquiry. In consequence of inquiry into the
Kensington Trust, the money had been taken from the Treasurer,
who was a Magistrate, and all the arrears had been paid off. In
one year the amount c.f the tolls front Hyde Park to Hounslow,
'amounted to £22,000. The Noble Lord ceadided by moving for
a Select Committee, to inquire into the recdpts, issoagement, and
expenditure of the different trusts in the county of Middlesex.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought a case had been
made out, and should vote for the Committee. At the
same time he must oppose any plan to throw the turnpikes into the
bands of Govanmer.t. He mast also oppose any proposal to de.
valve the whole management into the bands of Mr. fil'Adam, as
emelt an arrangement would probably end in a job, and to all jobs
be was an enemy.
Mr. HUME thought that the remedy should not be
limited to the North of London, he wished the enquiry
to be extended; £6,000 or £7.000 well laid out, would do what
new required £20,000. He should move, that the counties of
Essex, Kent, and Surreyi be added after Middlesex.
Mr. MABERLEY seconded the Amendment. The
result of the inquiry would be an immense saving to
the public. At a meeting held at Croydon, the Trustees,
after a long discussion, came to am agreement to try an experiment
of Mr. tel'Adam's system upon a mile of road. He (Mr. Alaberley)
bad induced them to adopt Ur. Al'Adam's plan on the whole of I
the road.
Sir THOMAS BARING was sorry that in tke first
instance any additional labour should be imposed upon
the Committee. The Turnpike taxes amounted to a million sod a
half sterling, which was noioconsiderable tax at the public. The
disposal of this large mm devolved upon a few Wields*, and was
often diverted to the purposes of private emolument.
After a few words from Mr. (3. Bemis, Alterman Hoven&
and Sir H. Passers, the amendment of within tea miles of Leedom,
was pot and carried.

"USURY LAMS,
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW moved the second reeding
of the Usury Laws Repeal Bill.
Mr. CALCRAPT said, he had no doubt that, on ge-
neral principles, the theory of political economy was in
favour of the Bill. But were there not exceptions?—
Was sot compelling a man to build a party-walllayin
a restraint on a man's property ? Why were seX

Within a few days a person was fined five thousand
pounds, in the Court of King's Bench, for keeping
a gaming house; he might have said, on the tb
