der neceffary the fpccial declaration of hi, Majefty's

than any with or intention to prefs the Houfe to any
proceeding of an unconftitutional or unparliamentary

of the Britilh Parliament, and in thofe of the Impe-
rial Parliament, fince the Union, where Bills ',facilely
of a tirnilar nature had palled, without any fuch
