The Hor.. Member then obferved, that by the ika
all penalties were to be levied by feparate rates. He
therefore moved for
An Account of all fuels teparatc Rates as had been levied in
any parith, as far as they could be made up."
Sir J. BUXTON though, the principle of the mo.

tional Defence Ad, up to the Weft period to which fuch an 'Ac-
count could be Made out."

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
raid. that as there was already an Account made out
to a very late period, he thought that the Hon. Me-

laid, that the copies of all letters of the defcripticn;

tion, by taking out the words " all Letters," and in-
ferting in its room " General Infiruaions.

MIDDLIIIX NLICTION.

Mr. CREEVEY obferved, that the Committee
appointed to try the &It Petition on the Middlefex
EleCtior, now fitting, having continued rather longer
than was expeEted, and being likely to fit fome days
longer, 'he therefore thought it would appear right
tl:at the Houfe fhould defer the confideration of the
f,cood Petition till the remit of the proceedings of
the Committee was known ; becaufe, if it thould
turn out that Sir Francis Burdett were feated, then
unqueltionably the fecond ground of Petition would
be abandoned. He fhould therefore move, that the
further confideratien of the fecond Petition be drier-
red till Thurfday, the z6th of April next, as it thould
alfo be recollefted, that the circuit commenced on
Monday, fo that the prole:Clonal Gentlemen would be
taken out of town. He concluded by moving, fir ft,
to difcharge the prefent order, which was agreed to:
the other motion was then made and carried.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved to adjourn the confederation of the conduit
of the Sheriffs in the bufinefs of the Middlefex Eke.
tion preceding the !aft till Friday next.—Agreed to.
