Several private Bills were brought up by Mr.DicKINS, Mr.
LAscn.Les, and other Gentlemen.
'Theft Bills were level...lly read a firft time.
Lord AUCK La ND, after adverting to the probability that the
Bill now before the Commons relative to the retidence of the
Clergy, tee. would fpeedily be brought up to that Houle, ob.
ferved upon the propriety of having their I.ordlhips as fully in-
forms/I as to the general fubjr.ft, as was praeticable; with

the operation of the catalog laws, with rapedt to the powers
of the Cuurt of Chancery, relative to Luna its, the &fedi in
which the Provifintis of the Ball, in tome degree, went to re-
medy; he Rated the power of the Court to make ',cafes fOr
the benefit of the lunatic, but it wa. reftrie'l J with regard to
felling. A Lunatic, under the Felon regulations, could be
arrcited, and thole Lordfhi, a muft ennciive the fituatiun
perfons of that dekription in fuck circuniftanees. lie noticed
the power of the Sheriff to tell the Leatehuld Property of the
Lunatic, but which was generally due at an en rmous
dif-
advantage. The Noble and Learned Lord then proceed, 41 to
detcribe other drafts of the existing Laws nn the Utica, and
which, he thought, called for the interference or such Provi-
lions as the Bill contained: he obf,rved, that the tubjedt wts
originally introduced to the notice of the Legiflature with his
concurrence, and he appealed to the more matured experience
of his Noble .-nd Learned Friend rear hint (the Ea:l o'Russ-
N), whether, what he had advanced upon the tubj.a, was
well founded?
