On the queltion that the Bill do pats,
Colonel STANLEY role, not to oppofe the Bill in
that its lag Rage. but to give his fentiments on its par.
ticular operation in the count y which he had the ho.
sour to reprefent (Lancafhire). He v..iflied that the
general average had been taken by the didrias of the
whole country, and not by the maritime diltrias
Only. He wilbed alto that the price had been lower,
as it would particularly affea the interells of the
people of Lancallsire, who do not grow fo much
corn in fome years as amounts to the demand of.the
people rending in the county.
Mr. WESTERN wifhed to fay a few words, in
anfwer to the obfervatinns of the lilt fpeaker. He
was certain the Hon. Gentleman had no occation to
be alarmed in the manner which he fc:enied to be.—
He had made a molt accurate oblervatinn reipeaing
the average prices in the county of Lane:tiler, and
thole of the maritime counties, and he had found
the difference fu (mall, that he thought it could
hardly be felt. He mentioned the average prices, at
feveral different periods, from which he cleat ly thew.
ed that Lancafhire was no more likely to filler from
the prefenr • g prices than any other county.
Mr. JEFFEREY ( Pcole) thought that the landed
biretta had in this fired the pices fo high, that
the Parliament would r
be obliged to lower them in
tat_ neat Scflion.
Mr. HOLT LEE fpnke againll the Bill.
Mr. lEI.LOWES laid, the ohjea of the Ilill was
to keen the prices as equal as pc.ffilde ; and, at the
fame time, to give a clue encouragement to agricul-
ture. This was what the landed interell were N. ti-
tularly interelled in, and which he thought it their
peculiar duty to attend to.
Mr. FOSTER (cid, he timid be furry the Hnnfe
themhi part with any idea that LarcAkite was likely
to be hiured by the r pq.nion of Ns Bill. lie wa'
certain that could never Le the cafe, as that craanty
had Leland and Qebee open to it when corn came
to a certain pricer and the Biltic WAS alfo r.pen to
it after a fixed p. ice, which, thonds not In immedi
ate, was fuch as to take away that dc•Atee a alarm
which the Hon. Member had mentioned.
Mr. LEIGH (of W:gan) oppufed the meafure, or.
the ground that it would tend In raife the price of
corn 'weird), at thole times in which many r f the
commercial parts a the country would. horn (by,-
option of trade, be leaft able to bear Inch an atisr•
mentation. He had particularly in his contencpla :i • 0
that pad Of the kingdom with which he aa, lornfell
ionswacd, the commercial county of Lancaller, and,
he contended, that it was unjolt and opprct:ice to
tokieft that part of the country to ihe lame geteral
~.cd ielding regulations, which,, n utlicr
:might be very ptorcr ; but which in Linealhirt,
