PPARLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS"
---
HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, FEB. sp. 1 .
ir,
Mr. Wort:writ was heard on behalf of he
,e
pellani.
and Mr. Howl= on the part of the Refpondent, t
in tt ,e Appeal
Cade, Roderick Finlayfoo v. Hugh Inner and John ' ,sl,Kenzies
after which the further hearing was adjounied to P. , . future day.
The Bank Reßriaion Bill was read a third no e, and paffed,
and the ufual Meff-ge ordered to be fent to the e! Allmon&
AU the Routine Bands of rcachog, Vetisko I a, &c. ice. was
gone through.
Lord PALNAN moved the Order of ' the Day for
taking into confederation his Majeft 'a Meffage,
j
relative to the Enabling's:lent of his toyal High-
nefs the Prince of Wales, which . .ng read, -his
Lordfhip Paid he would not trouble f he Houfe, by
making any obfervations on the f .lotion he was
about to make, and in which ever y Noble Lord
mull concur. He then moved, ' ~ that an hum.
ble Addrefs be prefented to his lb fa jetty, thanking
him for his moll gracious Meri:rj e, affuring his
Majelly that that Houfe would din zd its moll feri-
ous attention to the prefent fanatic in of the Prince
of Wales, and endeavour to adoF t fuch meafures
as fhould promote the comfort. and fupport the
dignity of fo illuflrious a branch. of his Majefty's
Royal Family."
Lord CARLISLE raid, be did Tv m rife to oppofe,
or esprefs his difapprobation of the Motion made
by the Noble Lord ; but he fett it a duty ihcum-
bent on him, to give his opinion with regard to a
meafure that was about to be al . !opted for the ac-
commodation of the Prince— a s neafure to which i
he fhould never give his approba ion, inafmuch as
it went to comprumife and bar a jull claim, which
his Royal Highnefs had on certal t i revenues arifing
out of the Duchy of Cornwall, and for Which a
legal proceeding had lately be !n inflituted. In
making thefe obfervations he 1, lid afide, for the
moment, that perfonal regard, at d the high refpedt
which be bore the dignified and illußrious Perfon-
age wlw was then the fubjedt of their Lordfhips'
confederation : he was then fpeak;ng in fupport of ,
any Hcir Apparent to the Crown, who might be '
placed in a fimilar fituation. He u nderftood, that
fome time ago the claim of his (rya' Highnefs
had been brought, in the form ' a Petition of
Right, before that Court over w ich the Noble',
and Learned Lord on the Wool ick prefided i
Why was not that claim perfevered in ? He was
at liberty to alk this queftion, becauf it appeared,
from what took place in another Ho fe of Parlia•
meat, that his Royal Highnefs had reed to the
Propofition that was brought forwa there. It
fo was flamed in that Houfe, from v y high au-
thority. He did not know how far the Prince
might have altered his fentiments on t t fubjeCt ;
but if he had done fo, he was Cure it tuft have
been induced by a defire to comply with e withes
of fume other branches of his illuilriou Family.
He confidered his Royal Highnefs to h ve been
hardly dealt with. After having been nailed
of that fplendour which belongedto his e evated
rank, and which it was the intereft of every man
in the country that he fhould have lived in ; aftei
having been deprived of the comforts he ought to
have enjoyed, he was now barred of hi. legal anti
juft claim, and obliged to accept fil m the bolinty
of Parliament, that which he fhould have poffeifed
, as his right. Whenever the propofition that was
brought forward in another place fhould come be
fore that Houfe, it fhould meet with his opposition.
Lord MOIRA obferved that the topics to which
the Noble Lord alluded had no conneftion what-
I ever with the immediate queftion before the Houfe,
which was nothing more than, whether the Houle
fhould agree to an Addrefs of Thanks to his Ma-
jelly for a communication made to their Lord-
thips ? The Houfe might hereafter have an op•
portunity of difcuffing the fubjeCt alluded to by the
Noble Lord, but at prefent it was irregular to en-
ter upon it. As the fituation of the Prince of
Wales was alluded to, he would affure the Houfe,
that Co far as he was able to learn the fentiments
of his Royal Mighnefs, that illuftrious Perfonage
was ready to acqutefce molt chearfuUy in any mea-
fure which Parliament might think proper to adopt
relative to his affairs. At prefent he did not think
it fit that the fubjea of his Royal Highnefs': claim
fhould be difeuffed, nor that the Noble Lord on
the Woolfack fhould be called on for an opinion
in a cafe where he might hereafter have to decide
as a Judge.
The Motion for the Addrefs was then put and
carried unanimoufly, and the fame was ordered ,
to be prefented to his Majelly by the Lords with
whits (laves.
