CASE OF DISTRESS.

THE following Cafe of Dithers will, it is humbly
hoped, cache theSyrapathy of a generous Public. A young
Lady whole Father had beituwed on her all the accomplifb-
menu of a liberal Education, and had bequeathed to her and
her brother the whole of a confiderable property, was left, by
the deceafe of her Parent, to the care of two Guardians, al.
pointed by his Wsl; one of them .leclining to Adt, the care of
the perfon and eftate of this unfortunate orphan devolved on
the other, a thoroughly unprincipled villain, who dithpated the
fortune of the Ward, and, by a (cries of perfonal ill-treatment,
compelled her to reek protection by marriage with a young
man of worthy charadter, but in a fituation totally incompe.
tent to provide fur the wants of a Family.—The exiftence of
the Guardian was terminated by an a& of feticide, but the
iffedts of his conduit are dreadfully felt by living itidtims.—.
The unhappy fufferer, wbofe cafe is here Rated to the public.
is, together with her hufband and four young children, redeem:l
to a (tate of the molt pitiable diltrefs. Long and debilitating
ficknefs has augmented the horrors of poverty, in this truly
unfortunate Family, for whiste Relief the Contributions of tibil

PIALLIMBIMar PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, MAY s.

The Lotto CHANCELLOR role to pronounce the
judgment in the Appeal Ciufe, M'Michan v. Hut-
chinfon ; but previous to his motion for reverfing
the Interlocutor of the Court of &Ilion, his Lord-
fhip with great accuracy and precifion took a view
of all the fads that constituted the cafe, and Rated
the grounds on which the different proceedings
that had previoufly taken place before the Sheriff
Depute in Scotland, the Lord Ordinary, and the
Court of Senior+, were founded, and in conic-
quence of which an Appeal had been made to their
Lordihips. After reafoning upon the whole, fuf-
ficiently to spew to what (Ned, the arguments
heard at the Bar of the Houle had been direeed,
and the imprefficn thofe arguments had made on
his mind, his Lordfhip moved, That the Interlo-
cutor of the Court of Seffion be reverfed.

The Earl of Rosstvo laid, the cafe had been fo
dearly dated, that it was unneceffary for him to
go into it ; but he could not help wiffiing, that the
Houfe could go a little further than the bare re-
verfal of the Interlocutor, and add fomething de-
claratory as to the crop, which it was to be pre.
fumed from the fills which formed the queflion,
that had arifen, and given rife, to the law pro-
ceedings that had taken place refpeaing it, had
been put into the ground, becaufe the addition to
which he alluded might put a flop to further liti-
gation upon the fubjea. It was, however, clear,
that the circumfiance had formed no part of the
confederation before the Court of Sefton, and con-
fequently was not avowedly the ground of appeal.
The motion for reverting the Interlocutor was
agreed to.
The Earl of WA*WICS Paid, when he came
down to the Houfe he came determined to move
for the appointment of a Committee to enquire
into a fubjea of fo much importance, that he
thought he thould have betrayed his troll, and
failed to difcharge his duty, if he had not brought
it forward, but in confequence of a converfauon
which he had had the honour to hold with a noble
Duke, high in office, fince he came down to the
Houle, he fhould forego his purpofe, and beg leave
to move to withdraw the notice which he had given
the preceding day, when he defired that their
Lordffiips might be fummoned for that day. His
Lordfhip raid, it was far from his with at any time
to interfere with the bufinefs of his Majedy's Mi-
nillers, and he felt too much refpea and elleem
for them individually, and entertained, he hoped,
too proper a fenfe of what was due to them, when
they dated to him that the Committee he was
about to move for would be attended with incon-
venignce, to per fdi in his intended motion, and the
more efpecially after the noble Duke had affured
him, that the mode of proceeding which he had
defigned to move, viz. that of appointing a Com-
mittee, was not the mod fpeedy mode of obtaining
the objea he had in view. Not doubting, there-
fore, but that his Majeffy's Miniders would feel
the importance of the fubjea he had intended to
bring forward, and do their duty refpeaing it, he
fhotdd conclude with moving to difcharge the no-
tice; but &ft he muff fay a very few words by way
of apology, and in jollification of himfelf, for hav-
ing moved to have the Houfe fummoned. He
had heard from pelfons of good charaaer and un.
queflionable veracity, that the poor had within the
lall year increafed to an alarming extent, in con-
fequence of which the workboufes in different
parts of the kingdom were crowded with poor in
a moll inconvenient manner, that might lead to
mifchievous confequences, if Tome meafures were
not taken in due time to avert them. In a parifh
near where he lived himfelf, his Lordthip Paid, he
had received information to be depended on, that
the poor in that parifh only had increafed to the
amount of r7oo more than left year, and that
these were greater numbers flowed in the 'work-
houfe, than it could with any fort of convenience
contain. From that fad it might fairly be' con-
cluded, that other pariffies were in a fimilar fitua-
tion ; it was therefore well worth the notice and
attention of his Majedy's Minikers.
The notice was difcharged.
Nine Bills were brought up from the Commons,
and prefented by Sir William Dundas, Mr. Fane,
Mr. Bailey, and others, and read a fird time each.
Lord Touatow attended the delivery of the
judgment on the Scotch Appeal by the Lord
Chancellor.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Sir W. CRARY brought up a Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to confider of building a new
Gaol in the county of Kent, upon the fecond read-
ing of which
Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL oppofed the further
progrefs of this bilkers in Parliament, for the pur-
pole, he Paid, of affording to the Magiftrates of
the two divifions of the county an opportunity of '
meeting and coming to a fettlement of it, and
moved that it be poßponeci to this day fix months.
Sir W. Gutty anfwered the objeCtions of his
Honourable Colleague, and fupported the meafure.
The Houle divided—For proceeding now 33—
For poßponing to this day fix months 13—Majo-
rity SO.
Mr. Lustrilicrox role, in purfuance ofiris no-
tice, to call the attention of the Houle fhortly to
the Office of Public Notaries : He Paid, that at pre-
fent that bufinefs required Come regulation, and
there were tome parties interefted and anxious to
have a Bill palled in Parliament on that fubjetl.
What he chiefly referred to was the qualification of
a perfon who fhould be permitted to ad as a Pub-
lic Notary ; that qualification he fhotild propofe to
be that of having ferved a regular Clerisfhip to a
Lieenced Notary. This was a meafnre intended
to have been brought forward laft year, and upon
that idea a duty was impefed upon the licence of
a Public Notary, but the provifion intended to have
been made for the regulation of the adiniffion, and
for defining the qualification, had hitherto been
emitted, and his objeß was now only to fupply
that °minion. He therefore moved, 44 that leave
be given to bring in a Bill for the better regula-
tion of Public Notaries praaifing in EoglarW."
14r. Coaar fuggefle.l, that as the proviAgns of

the BM might be thought beneficial to other parts
of the. United Kingdom, it would be better to leave
the title open and to Make it general; to which
Mr. Lufbington affented, and the motion was then
put thus : “ That leave be given to bring in a Bill
for the better regulation of Public Notarieb."—
Granted.

The CHANCELLOR of the E'en scums moved,
that the Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve
itfelf into a Committee of the whole Haute, to con-
fider of certain exemptions from duties on Mem-
bers ferving in Parliament for Ireland,be now read ;
which being done, the Houfe refolved itfelf into a
Committee of the whole Houle to confider of this
fubjed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE(tpER Paid, that
as the grounds of the motion he was about to fub-
mit to the confideration of the Committee, had
been already Rated to the Houfe, he did not think
it necairy to trouble the Committee further than
to make a motion. He therefore moved, « that
the Chairman be direeted to move the Houfe, that
leave be given to bring in a Bill to exempt, for a
time to be limited, from the payment of certain
duties, fuch Members of both Houfes of Parlia-
ment ferving for Ireland, as have only an occa-
fional refidence in Great Britain, and to permit the
removal, in certain cafes, of the effees of fuch per-
fons from Ireland to England, without payment
of duty."-..—Agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the Exentopra then gave
notice, that he fhould to-morrow move for leave
to bring in a Bill to remove doubts on the eligibi-
lity of perfons in Holy Orders fitting as Members
in the Commons Houfe of Parliament.

Mr. W. DUNDAS brought up the Report of the
Scots Militia Bill, the amendments were read and
agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be engroffed,
and to be read a third time to-morrow, if than en-
grofed.
Several Aets of Parliament on the affairs of Ire-1
land, were entered as read, and referred to Com-
mittees of the whole Houfe to-morrow, to be con-1
fidered of, on the motion of Mr. Corry.
The fecond reading of the Coal Bill was pottpon-
ed to litrefday next, on the motion of Mr. Manning.
The Report of the Elephant Oil Bill was receiv-
ed, read, agreed to, the Bill ordered to be engroffed,
and read a third time to-morrow, if then engroffed,
on the motion of Mr. Vanfittart.
The Ira Hop Importation Bill, the Ira Sugar
Diftillery Bill, and the Bill for prohibiting the Ex.
potation of Corn, Potatoes, and other articles of
Provifion, and permitting their Importation into
Ireland, were read a third time and paired, on the
motion of Mr, Corry.
Mr. VANSITTART moved the fecond reading of
the Bill for making allowance to Subaltern Oacers
of Militia in time of peace.
Colonel Ecroan Paid that it was his intention to
propore a claufe in the Militia Autants 801, to
provide for the Surgeons of the Militia in time of
peace, but underftanding that it would erpharrafs
the estimate upon which the Bill was founded, and
hoping the bufinefs would be taken up by force
perfon of more influence and knowledge of the Mi-
litia concerns than hirnfelf, he declined it for the
prefent ; but Rated his intention, if no propofal of
that nature thould, according to his expedbitions,
be brought forward within this Seflion, he Mould
take the liberty of fubmitting to the Route a pro-
potation galculated to do juftice to that deferving
clafs of men.

Bill read a Woad time and ordered to be com-
mitted to a Committee otthe whole Houfe to-mor-
row, as was alfo the Militia Adjutants Allowance
Bill.

The Houle agreed to go into a Committee of the
whole Houk to-morrow, to confider of the AR
which now regulates Bounties and Drawbacks on
the exportation of Sugars, &c.—Adjourned.
