attempt to conduct an Election for Westminster
would be impracticable. The opinion of the Learned
Judges as referred to was, in point of fact, he be-
lieved, that an action would he against the Candi-
dates for any reasonable expenses incurred. The
Act passed in 1611 was to continue for two years,
and it was thought afterwards expedient and neces-
sal:), to continue it for six years. It expired with the
commencement of the present year, and the present
Bill was to revive and continue the provisions of that
Act. The necessity of continuing such a salutary'
arrangement, must, after• the experience they had, be
obvious to their Lordships, and on these grounds
he should move the second reading of the Bill in
question.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE differed from the
Noble Viscount as to the doctrine laid down on the
occasion by the late Lord Chief Justice. But there
appeared to him to be another consideration con-
nected with the present case: it was known .that the
High Bailiff paid a large sum for his situation to the
Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and if it was pro-
posed to 'give the High Bailiff that, by a specific
Act, which the common law did not, on a future op-
portunity those personages might get a larger sum
for the situation. The present Bill, he must repeat,
would operate as an ex -post facto law, and in a way
distinct tram that which regulated the mode of Elec-
tion for other places in the kingdom. He would
certainly take the sense of their Lordships on the
measure.
The question being put, a division accordingly took
place—Cor.tents 13—Non Contents 4—Majority for
the Bill 9, which was accordingly read a second time.

GRAM'S IN
Earl GROSVENOR rose to address their Lord-
ships on this in which. he repeated a few of
his general objections to the practice. He feltit his'
duty again to come forward. In what be now in-
tended to propose, he should take care that ao bar
whatever would be offered to any regulations which.
had lately taken place 'with respect zo sackerwits.

Lord KENYON then presented a Petition, on
groondt• nearly similar, from Holly Welt, in Flint-
shire. The Petition, among other points, set forth
that the persons were generaAly employed for twenty-
eight bouts in the six days, in a way highly injuri-
ous to their health, and praying for some legislative
regulations in their favour, particularly with respect
toka restriction in the time of their working.
The' Earl of LAUDERDALE made a few re-
marks on the occasion. Ile had reason to think
there were persons who m d a practice, in the quar-
ter whence those Petitions came, of having Petitions
ready framed for their Lordships House. One of
these was signed by more than one hundred and
sixty boys or girls. The conduct of such persons
tended to produce consequences the most injurious to
the public.
The Bishop of CHESTER expressed his opinion,
that the present mode of employing particularly
young persons in these manufactories was greatly de-
trimental to their health, and such he knew was the
opinion of several eminent medical persons. He had •
a Petition on the subject to submit to their Lordships
from Bolton4e-Moors, in Lancashire, signed by mere
than 5000 r person's.
• The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that he
had, .on the contrary, seen several certificates from
medical persons, which set forth a different opinion.
Some farther conversation on this topic took place
between the Reverend Prelate and the Noble Earl,
after which the Petition was ordered to lie on the
table, as was that presented by Lord Kenyon.
The Bishop of CHESTER • also presented a Peti-
tion from Bullington, in the County Palatine of Ches-
ter, to the same effect.—Ordered to lie on the table.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE, adverting to the
notice of the Noble Lord which stood for that even.
ing, on a subject connected with the Petitions, said,
he would pot it to his consideration whether it were
proper to bring forward a subject of that extent and
importance, at such a period of the Session, part'cu-
larly when the attendances were so slight ? He
would therefore beg of him to postpone it to a period
when they should hare reason to expect the House
would be in a very different situation in/those re-
spects from what it then was.
Lord KENYON was of opinion that delays of the
kind would be injurious. He had postponed it in
consequence of what the Noble Earl had said, until
this day. A sense of duty solely induced him thus
to come forward ; the Noble Earl would have future
opportunities of discussing whether what was pro-
posed should or should not pass into a law. What
be would now propose was but an inquiry, and of
which he had given repeated notices. The state of
the unhappy children in these manufactories loudly
called for legislative interference. Last year a Bill on
the subject had advanced to its second rea..ling, and
the call for further inquiry had been complied with.
The interests of substantial justice xequired that some..
thing should now be don?, and he would put this
state of the case to the Noble Earl's own candour.—
He trusted that the Noble Lords would not decline at-
tending the investigations ; and he would regret if
the Noble Earl himself should not attend. After a
due investigation of the subject, he would cheerfully
submit to what their Lordships should decide as the
most eligible course to be pursued. The Noble Lord
concluded by moving,g That a Committee be ap-
pointed to Inquire into the State of the Childrea em-
ployed in the Cotton Manufacture, and to Report the
same to the House."
• Earl GROSVENOR made some observations. At
the time when the Bill was brought up from the other
House last year, they were certainly in a state of t
comparative ignorance upon the subject. It was af- •
terwards inquired into, and he held it rather ex- .
traordinary now that the Noble Lord should call
for the adoption of a Committee. It was with
reluctance he stated, that he (Earl Grosvenor) could
not go so fir with the Noble Lord. The House now
stood it: a very different situation with respect to the
subject from what it did hilt year. At best it was a
very delicate as well as an important subject to le-
gislate upon, and he was strongly opposed to the
creation of hopes which it was beyond their power
to realize; and he feared that many of the deplora-
Me scenes- which occurred last rummer might be at•
tributed to such agitations of the subject. The Noble
Earl proposed a farther poaponement of the motion
for a Committee.

The LO1U) CHANCELLOR, in reference to the
great stress which seemed to be laid on the conside-
ration that those manufactories were injurious to
the children's health, observed, that such practices
were against the sense of the common law. A pro-
hibition was therein to be found. At the same time
they were not to shut their eyes against what was
going 01) ; and, it, became a question for consideration
whether there should not be some general taw upon
the subject? . He could not help think;ngthe subject
of so much importune that some delay of the dis-
cussion would be desirable, as there might hereafter
be a fuller attendance. The question should be de-
cided on sifting ;t is every ditfereht way,. Notwith-
standing medical awn may diNe-, .he consideration
of how fu the present practice may be injurious, to
reaily.alartning. OA the whole he re-
lorded the present subject as (sae of the greatest imp
lanet; but as it now stood betore the How, 4
