ELECTIVE ERANCIIISE.

Lord NUGENT said, he had given notice of a moti,-41
for a Return oldie different Q.illifications under
Voters for Counties, Cities, and Boroughs, exercised their
elective franchise; and that the return should distingiii.sh
the non-resident voters, and the honorary, from the
actual Freemen of Cities and l33roughs. Technical nb.
jectic,ns had been made to the production of the Return,
although it would have been a document of great utility.
He should, however, beg leave to postpone the notice of the motiot.,
and he would bring it forward on the earliest opportunity.

RETURNS OE PURFION CORN.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that it was always his desire
to afford the House every information which its Mem-
bers might require; but he was under the nece,sity of
moving to discharge the Orders of Tuesday last, fir
producing the Accounts relative to Foreign Corn. That
motion involved a principle entirely novel, and very in.
convenient to the business of the House. It had n t
only called for information and documents, but it went
to pledge the House to certain statements and inferences
which might not be fairly deducible from the docu-
ments, when they were obtained. Either the informa-
tion already before the House warranted the proposition
which these Resolutions involved, and the docunie its
were unnecessary, or the proposition should not be made
till the inform stion had been produced. One Return
was of Wheat and Flour exported and imported between
certain dates, " being the period of our greatest export."
This involved the proposition that the period in ques-
tion was that of our greatest export. This mielit or
might not be true. Another Return was for Wheat,
Rye, Barley and Oats, imported into England between
1806 and 1813, 44 being the years in which the trade
with the Baltic was abolished. In fact we had a very
considerable trade to the Baltic in those years, although
that trade might be more or less as the different ports
happened to boor not to be in the bands of the enemy.
One Return was to extend from the years 1766 to 1796.
• ..th inclusive, " omitting the years 1795 and 1796."
What was this but a Return to the year 1795 exclusive?
The whole mode of calling for information pursued in
this motion was irregular, and most inconvenient.
Mr. E. WODEHOUSR assured the Right Has.
Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) that he meant not to ire-
puce to him any thing like a desire to withhold in.
formation from the House; en the contrary, he had
found that Right Hon. Gentleman, and those engaged in
64 department, most ready to afford the greatest assist-
ance to these who applied to them—(ll•Jr, hear). But,
in making that declaration, be hoped he should not in.
car the chArge of taking unfair means of obtaining
information—(Hear, hear). He had many reasons fur
introducing his motion, not the least important of
which was, that he was in the habit of acting with
a set of Gentkmen who possessed. such a vast dr.
gree of constitutional laziness, that unless a point
was placed before them in such a clear and tangible
shape, that it covld not escape them, it was almost
impossible to make them attend to it—(Hear. and a
laugh). The Hon. Member, after some further explAna-
deo of the grounds upon which be made his motion, concluded by
observing, that in consequence of a communication with the RI&
Hon. `Gentleman, he bad now that motion in his hand in a
amended form and ho hoped it would receive his (Mr. Hinkle
sean'conslderlitloa between this and Monday, when, if not op-
posed, he should again propose it.
Mr. HUSKISSON said he should be most happy to
read over the Hon. Member's Resolutions; and he as-
sured him, that if he made any alteration in them, it
would be with a view to extend rather than to curtail inform**.
(Hear). The order was discharged, and
The Howe adjourned till to-morrow (vats nay).
