DUTCH PAPERS.

New WRIT FOR GLOKGESTERSHIEIkI
Mr. HOWARD referred to what wassail* in a
book well known to them all - inwhichitistes said
by a former Speaker of that House, (Mr.. Onslow)
that in the case of a Member succession to the Peer- .
age, it was not necessary to. wait till the Chancellor
should order a summons for his attendance in the
House of Peers ; but that, from the moment of the
succession, his seas became immediately vacant, whe-
ther a writ was issued to snmm'.a him or not. This
was agreeable bate to reason and analogy. The Scots
Peerage was precisely an analogy in point. In the
case of a Member et the House of Courtesans succeed-
ing to the Scots Peerage, his. seat became .immedi-
ately vacant, though, no writ could be issued by the
Chancellor for his attendance in the House of Peers.
The other House might adopt such a mode of pro-
reeding as.. it might think fit with regard to its. own
Members ; but this House had nothing to do with the
proceedings of the House of Lords, and was bound
immediately to supply any vacancy that might occur.
This course was necessarily demanded for the public
convenience. He therefore thought the County of
'Gloucester should no longer reauen unrepresented.
The SPEAKER stated, that .he believed it woula
be fosind throughout the Journals, that the grounds
were laid before the House, by which it was proved,
that a Member succeeding to a Peerage was called to
the Howe of Peers, before a writ WAS issued for a,
new election. He mentioned the case of Lord Car-
hereon in 1744, Lord Camden in 1763,, and more re-
cently that of Lord Petersham.
The Clerk was ordered by the Speaker to read an
retract from the Journals rf the 14th awl 15th of
February, 1809, relative to the case of the Earl of
Lint:say.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
gated, that the precedent of 1809 did not apply to
the present case. He said, that if there was any im-
proper delay in issuing the writ, the House might
very properly take this subject into their considera-
tion. It was enough, however, to state that one of
the Members for the County of Gloucester was now
Earl Berkeley; it was necessary to lay some grounds
before the House by which the fact might be ascer-
tained. Would the House proceed, without any such
information, to make the Coenty of Gloucester elect
t Member in place of the person who may afterwards
turn out to be its legitimate Representative; The
feet ot the succession to a Peerage ought to be ascer-
tained by some competent tribunal. Be had no doubt
that the House of Lords would proceed without any
delay to the consid:Tatirm of that cause, whenever it
