SUPPLY OF CORN.

Earl STANHOPE then adverted to the import-
ant Resolution he hid submitted to the House a few
days ago on this subject, which was ordered to be
printed. It was his intention to move that that Re-
solution should be taken into consideration by their
Lordships, and having consulted some Noble Friends,
he understood that thy se'nnight would be a conve-
nient day—he therefcre moved that the Lords be
summoned for Monday next.
The Eirl of LIVERPOOL observed, that it was
generally understood, the most proper and regular
cuurse, on a subject not only of the greatest import-
ance, but confessedly one of much difficulty and de-
licacy, would be, when the Report of their Lord-
ships' Committee atonic!. be made ; to adopt no
measure hastily in consequence, but to have the Re-
port printed, to have it go forth to the public and the
country, and so lie over for consideration during the
recess. Their Lordship would recollect that an tm-
portant measure on the si.bject had been agitated in
aniither place, but which was abandoned, with a
view of afh.rding due time for a deliberate conside-
ration of the subject. Under these impressions he
certainly must deprecate the adoption of any mea-
sure on the subject that Session of Patliament.
Souse conversation took place between the Noble
Earl who ;nu-educed the subject and the Earl. of
LAUD:At/MLA in a way of eManation, as to forifiter
arguments respectively advanced by them. At-the
conclusion of which the former asserted, he had no
doubt one hundred to one throughout the country
on his side, on this m .st important question.
Their Lordships wore then ordered to be sum-
moned for Monday se'rihight.
The Snuff .tad Tobacco Exportation, and the Land
Tax Commissioners Binh were read a third time and

,he motion of Lord HOLLAND, a messape
was or .ett to be stet to the Commons, recLucstill
that a copy of tLe Report of therm Committee on tLe

the property, of whatever desetilption, of his debtor ;
and it was much better that he should be left to use
his own caution and discretion upon this point, than
that he should sit dowo in apathy and carelessness,
under the impression that the Legislature would take
care of his interests.
Earl STANHOPE opposed the Bill upon the
ground that it would take away in a great number of
cases the trial by jury, and throw the questions that
ought to be decided upon by a jury, into the court of
Chancery.
Lord HOLLAND supported the Bill upon the
ground of its being grounded on substantial ittstice.
Lord REDESDALE objected to the Bill, on the
ground that it could only be brought into operation
after the death of the debtor, and after it had been
seen whether his personal estates would he equal to
payment of his debts. The present Bill, too, he
thought, would lead to an extension of credit, which
was already too great in this country.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH conceived the present
to be a sort.of posthumous Bankrupt Act. if all es-
tates were to be saleable on the filial/ of a Bill by a
simple contract creditor, his Lordship would wish to
know what security there could be for the purchaser
of an estate. He objected to the idea of superseding
the old established law of the land, by capriciously per-
mitting after :altem application to a Court of Chancery.
Lord ERSKINE denied that the operation of the
present Bill could be to abridge the jurisdiction of ju-
ries ; the only operation it could have would be to
prevent the extension of that jurisdiction where they
did not at present possess it. He submitted, the prin-
ciple of the Bill not being objected to, that Amend.
ments might still be introduced to the effect of doing
away particular unpalatable clauses.
The question was then put, when the motion for
the third reading now was negatived, and the Bill
was ordered to be read a third time this day three
months.

The other Orders were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned.
