loners in certain gaols inthe county of Lancaßcr,
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE confidered
the documents upon the table as conclufive and fa-
tisfaftory to their profefred ohjefts. They were in
general figned by the Clerk of the Peac• . which was
fo far a manifettation of his belief of the truth and
correftnefs of thole *documents. However, the Gen•
tleman alluded to was then below the bar ; and if the
Noble Earl, or any other Lord, witted for farthei
information on any particular point, he could be
queß ioned.
Mr. Cour, the Gentleman in queflion, was then
called to the Bar, and underwent sather a long eia-
arination; principally on 'the part of the Earlof
Radnor, as to a variety of detailed confiderationrg
referring to the emtents of the documents, and to
the fubjeft before the Houle.
• The explanations given, generally (Peaking, Farm.
ed fatisfaftory to the Committee, by whom the Dill

MOORE'S DIVORCE amt..
The Order for the fecond reading of this Bill being moved,
lone converfation on the fulled toile place between Lord Auck- '
land, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Buckingham, and his.
Grace the Areisbilhop of Canterbury; in the courfe of which
The LORD CHANCELLOR adverted to the importance of
the general &lie& to which the Bill referred, to the morals and
religion of the country; the Legillature Mould always regard
.Bills or the kind with the molt anxious jealoufy and feropulous
attention, particularly tbat there be no grounds to infer that col-
lufion exifted between the parties, either 'with refpedi to the fad
of the adultery, or with regard to any of the proceeding in the
Courts below, not only on the part of the principals thendelves
perfonalty, but with reference to what may be done through the
medium of agents, His.Loalthip adverted to fume ennfiderations
in the details of the prefent cafe, which at katt railed eonfiderible

&eta in Ms mind, partlad-rly le the Courts below; and be _again
Weever'. with refpedt ro &liter pradlom on the part of the to-
Baton or law ager-ts, as tampering either with the principals
or agent* a the oppoute party, there cidited legal mean. of tub-
jeding thentto a revere, but wcll merited ponifhment. pp. with-
!landing his prefent views of the cafe. he was not prepared to go
!pc length of oppormg the Order fur the teemed reading of the
3411, hut would turn the fehjed farther in his ttionghts. and Zfte
it the belt attention hi, opportunities would allow, previous to his '
t' af determination. which he would commenicate to the Houle
in a future flap of the Bill. He hoped their Lordlhip., bearing
in mind the general importance of Bifh of the kind. v•eit4i attend
more numtroidly than they were wont to do on hinder ddentons.
Lord AUCKLAND', fentiments of the Bill in queltitti teem-
ed in a great degree limiter to thofe of the Noble Lord on tfte
erootfack. His Lordfhip, with a reference to die idea of probable
:ollufion, read certain part. of the evidence given during the dif-
cuifions of the smarmy. A part of the& were fuels as in his mind
lihould prove fatal to the Bill,untll fubfequeot teftimony naturally
induced a different opinion with refped to the principal perfon
concerned. Upon the whole. when be conedered all the cireum-
Rums of the cafe, he wa. inclined not to give a sieLative to the le-
piod reading of the BBL
the Ittlarquis of BUCKINGHAM coincided with the potations
laid down by the Noble and Learned Lord' oo the fubjeCL He
agreed with him as to the general importance of Bills of the kind ;
and, at one period, when his facilities were greater, he regularly '
made it a point to attend fuels dircuffions. He had not been able
to attend *men them:Um dircuilions of the ,particular tale under
ionfideration ; but, by whatheliad colleded or it, and what he
had heard from the Noble Lords who had (token on the futjed,
he feared be could not, were the retire of the Houle to be taken,
confeientiotik vote upon * Bill; he Mould; in inch a cafe,
therefore retire. He afterwards referred to certain detailed enc.
Gderatioes in the cafe, which fanned to make an unfavourable tin.
peefften on hie mind, and attend to determine him, were he driven
to the alternative, to give a Wide vote opiin the uccaGon.
:I'be Arelibintoti of CANTERBURY alto approved of what
fell front the Noble and Learned Lord upon the (abject. lie de-
precated every thing that tended to give facility to diet:revs; Whieli
was, in point of fad, diredly an encouragement to the -ommi2ion
of adultery itfelf. tie was alfo.cf onhiloti titiat this initlricius con-.
fequence Might es certainty b induced, throughilioniedium of in-
&Woe agaits, as through eidlulles elitainhig dfredly between the
principals theniftivee, and which, oft the fame ground, mould
I be guarded again& with equal caution and jealousy by the Legit.-
lature.

After lona explanations bad taken place, principally between
the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM and the LORD CHANCEL-
LOR, thi Bill was read a fecund OINK, and, on the motion of the
Noble and Learned Lord, ordered to by committed for
next, at four o'clock.
STIPENDIARY CURATES RILL.
The Order of the Day for their Lordships going Into a Corn-
/educe on this Bill being read,
The Earl of IIRIDC,EWATER fubmitted to their Lord-
alps his opinion, that it would be preferable to poltponc the
Committee 'on the Bill.-1 meafure which embraced fuch a
variety of important confiderations, all of which, more or
caned for the attention of their Loniflipe, rather than enter upon
it at that advanced hour (li was then about (even o'clock.)
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE was of a contrary opi-
nion ; the rcafons affigned Owed induce, when the advanced pe-
riod of the Seffion was confidered, their Lordhips to eater upon
difcuffion without the Icaft poffitte delay.
The Houle accordingly Midst:4 into a Committee upon the bill,
Lord Walflngbam in the Chair.
On the reading the preamble of the Bill,
'Earl FITZWILLIAM addreffed the Committee, deeming it,
in his view of that part of the fulled, fufeeptible of amendment,
and which he was about to propole ; but the Noble Chairman in-'
Ming on the propriety of pt,ftponing the confideration of the pre-
, anible, until the Bill thould be gone through, the (erne, in the ufual
way, was ordered to be poftpsned.
Nearly at the beginning of the lift ensaingelaufe,
Earl FITZWILLIAM again addrelfed the Committee. He
expreffed his opinion that the extent of the Bill Mould he
clearly and accUratdy defined ; it was not afeartainable, as it
then stood, whether or not the Bill extended to Ireland. To
remedy that ilefed, he propofed, as an amendment, that after
the words " Spiritual perfons," Would be !Merced. " in that
part of the united kingdom of Great Britain and I/eland ailed
Ireland."
This propoEtion gave rife to *ma coovesfatios among their
.
Lordihips. • .
The Archbilliop of ARMAGH. (pT.thamon, Primate of Ire-'
laud) took the opportunity to delve leis oplaloo,t%at the mature
ought to be extended, to Deland. Tbe.Corates of the ellabliihed
Charch la tharpart of the United Klogdomwai very way as
well deferring the protettlion and peoneageosens.oi tbs.
dire as thole pf Engkhd, in ever, point of view. They were now
bully as refpedijble, of as good moral charader, mat evinced ca
much zeal in the Tterformance of their religious duties author° of
the fame clerical rani; in EnglamL •
Sari FITZWILLIAM caplaioed His principal objealon to
the extenfioa Teemed to be, me idea that the Church of England
I.WA not, properly fPeakh2ll,.tbe National Church in Irelead ;
the great body of the population is that country were out of
the Church of England perfuaLsn. In many parties in Ire-
land there was not, be believed, a tingle Protelt.int ; in that
point of view, there was the fame Decatur for emending-the Bill
to Ireland. • , •

Lord Vikornt SOMERTO/41- (Archbiihop of Dubin) con-
tended that Ireland wag, in every point of view, equally cudtled
to the benefits of the Bill, or at tuft of a Midler AR, On the
general principle, he agreed with the molt Reverend Pre/ate who
prowled him. An equarast ;Cure of jußice &odd be dealt to
both countrice—if the &Adam Of Curates in one Country were
proper and dcfr ble,'why net in the other f If it were deemed
neceffary in one country. it vas certainly as neceffary in the other.
-and why tumid fuck "a ddlion be made with refpedt to the
operation of a beneficial mei:fore ? and, with refpcdt to the Noble
Earl's afferdon of the non•refiaenee of Pro:eitants in feural pa-
rities in of Ireland, he contended, that no parifh of that dercrip-
don could be found throughout the kingdom.
The LORD CHANCIiLLOR obierved, that with refpedt to
the point under difcuLn, I; could have no application to the pre,
fent mature ; even ihe very framers of the Bin had no idea of
its extending to Iraand, or that it would admit of inch a conitrue-
don ; their Lordthips would fee, that in the 7th page of the Bill,
frequent and important reference was made to the iirovilions of
the Ad of the 36th of the King, an Aft which had and application
whatever to Ireland ; fa that m that point of view, the Minnick
there were precifely fuch an Aft, fielder in all its provinons; anti'
paged in the fame year of his MajeitY's reign, by the bilk Leg&
!scum, the prefent Bill could not be conftructl. to extend to that
part ofthe United Kingdom.
Lord Vikount SOM ERTON explained, thAt atrAta, is feveeal
of Its provitions, nearly Muller to the Ad adverted to by the No-.
bk and Learned Lord, had paffed the frith Legitature. The M-
etope were empowered to augment the Salaries of t. urates to 731.
per ann. as in the Englida Act, and to order an allowance of xsb.
per ann. as an equivalent for the ufe of the parfociage honk. The
ASR, however, wan not paired in the fame year.
The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM was of opinion, that. In
fotue points of view a regulation of the kind was even mare pe-
cenkry for Ireland than for this country : but, in the pre cut in-
dance, the objeCtions urged by his Noble and Learned Friend, he
thought, decided the cafe. Bender, the Ad adverted to by a molt
Reverend Prelate was paffed in Ireland, in the 40th year of the
King.
After kale farther difeuffion of the point, Earl FITZWIL-
LIAM withdrew his Amendment.

Tie Noble Earl propofed, (hardy after, a verbal amendment, a
few lines farther on in the deltic. which, atter fame Itrong °Nee-
Cons from the ArchbiLop of CANTERBURY, who dcnionitra-
ted that the Bill was by eomeaus novel iu principle, was alto
withdrawn by his Lonlfhip.
In another part of the daufe, the words " Weedy fituate," were
objected to by
rhe Bilhop of ST. ASA PH, for which he aligned fevers! eta-
fotis, and illultrated, by Briking balances; particularly the cde of
theparnh of St. John the Evangelift. Weantiottw, which was in
the jurifdidlon of the Dean and Chapter of Weßminfteri though
it wits " locally Gloated" in the Diocefe of the Bans) of London;
the Rev. Prelate thought this might be obviated by fleihing out
the words after " fatisfadtion of the li'dhop," to handy thus-
inktufi ve.
The LOAD CIiANCELLOR,though he felt the full force of
the Learned ;Prelate's objedions, thought the °maim propoled
in that particujar dank would too greatly diva the principle of
the BilL In another part of the Bill, or in a future Rage of it, a
provifion may bedgitroduecd which would obviate the objedion.
After tome remarks front the Bilhop of LONDON, and the
Arehbilhop.of CANTERBURY, and an explanation front the
ißithop of ST.ASAPHstlyjaft-nsentiosed Predate did not preli his
emendment. a.. •
