measure altogether to another Session.

The question was then put. and the House adopted
the Resolution without a division.

during the same period ; and of the quantity ware-
housed in London and the tither warehouse ports.

oar possession, but which had belonged to the Dutch
States previ-us to the late war, on the same trims

cordingly.

second time, and comniiited for to-mortow.

Bill when it should go into a Committee, exempting

the Established Clituch or not, from payment of
poor' rates.
