Office for life on the Noble DIA, (Montrose) who holds
it. The present Bill was nearly the same as that of
last year.
Mr. PRIMROSE said, that the objection he had
to this Bill Was, the salary of the office, after the death
of the l!nble Duke, w to be attached to the head
of the Civil Court in Scotland instead of to the Lard
justice Clerk, the head of the Criminal Court.

W. DOUGLAS objected to the Bill as throw-
ing a great additiooal burthen on tile Lord President
of the Court of Session. _

Mr. J. P. GRANT said, that his Honourable Friend
was willing to withdraw this Bill, in order to bring
in one simply abolishing the office.
Mr.D. GILBERT said, he knew nothing of the law
of Scotland ; and if the Bill could not be amended,
he would withdraw it.

Sir C. MONCK said, the House had to take care
that the moment the incumbents in the offices agreed
to be abolished died, that their salaries should revert
to the Public. _ .

Mr. IN GILBERT then withdrew the Bill, and
gave notice that on the 2d of June he would move
for leave to bring in aloaler Bill on the same office.

MARQUIS CAIIDIN.

Mr. BANKES rose to move ab Expression of Ap-
probation of the House to the Marquis Camden, for
'the generous sacrifice he had made to the service of
the Public. The Marquis of Buckingham, during
the war, concurred with' the Marquis Camden in
giving up part of his funds to the Public, and if be
had lived would, no doubt, have joined him in this
step ; but at present there was no such example as
that shewn by the Marquis Camden. According to
the duration of human life, what the latter Nobleman
had given tip to the Public could not be less than
£lOO,OOO. He, therefore, deserved some particular'
notice of so noble and disinterested an example.—
Without an Act of Parliament this money could not
be received, when the Marquis Camden offered it
privately to the Exchequer. He then moved—That
the House acknowledged an 3 highly approved the
public spirit and disinterested conduct of the Mar-
quis Cain&n, and that he was justly entitled to the
gratitude of the country.
Mr. CALCRAFT felt most strongly the conduct
of this munificent and patriotic Nobleman.
Mr. V. BLAKE supported the motion, and sug
Rested, that an Address should be moved to the
Prince Regent, that he would be pleased to grant
some signal mark of favour to the Noble Marquis.
Mr. WILBERFORCE, at the same time that he
agreed in the just praises bestowed on the Marquis
Camden, could not consider the course just suggested
as applicable to the occasion. Many of our Noble-
men, his inferiors in rank, were much more affluent
than the Noble Marquis. That Nobleman would re-
ceive his reward in the simple and calm contempla-
tion of his own breast.
Lord CASTLEREAGH was confident the Crown
and the Country would never forget to this family
the sacrifice which the head of it had just made. He,
therefore, hoped that nothing would be thrown into
the debate that might cause a difference of opinion.
Kr. V. BLAKE was not satisfied with the reasons
he had heard against his suggestion.—The Motion
was then agreed to nevi. con.
