Ministers to give sonic information to the House respecting the
nature of the contents of the Bill, their objects and amount, ere
they called upon their Lordships to concur in a Bill by which,
be believed, upwards of 50 millions would be appropriated. It
might now be too late to have the Bill printed, but unless some
explanation was given on a fut•ire stage of the Bill, be would
attend in his place, and move that the Bill be read at length, the
only remedy he should have in his power. He did out oppose
the first reading the Bill.
