REVERSION RILL.;

Earl GROSVENOR presented the Bill of which
he had ji-ven notice for preventing the *ranting of
Places in Reversion, &c. and moved that it be read a
first time.

Lord ARDEN opposed• the motion. He could
alt not but consider it as an infringement of the pre-
rogative of the Crown to attempt taking-away a pri-
vilege which had so long beetfivesteclitt the Sovereign,
at least without having received a previous comma-
nication from the-Crown of the opinion entertained by'
the Sovereign respecting such a proceeding. He be-
lieved a vanety. of precedents Might be adducid in
support of the doctrine he had advanced, particu-
larly one in the reign of George H. when a Bill was
introduced for limning•the Peerage. _
Earl GROSVENOR -etpressed much surprize at
the opposition of the*Noble Lord. It was matter of
course to read Bills- brought from • the other House
• a first time without arty opposition,. but when a
Bill originated in ,that
_House; the Noble Lord who
originated it, had only..to present it, aad it was read
a first time of course: - • • •
The LORD CllANPLLOR'thluglit the ques-
tion a very important and delicate one, and suggested
the propriety of adjoUrning the question till it was seen
whether a message would come front. his Majesty or
not.

Lord REDESDALE embraced this opinion; and•
moved that the farther:discussion. of the question be•
renewed to-morrow. . • • .• : •••
Lord HOLLAND could not imaghie sny thing,
more disrespectful to that House, to the other, Mouse
or Parliament, and to the people at large, than such:
mode of.procceding under the present circumstances
of the country. What did -his Majesty's Ministers
think of such a proceeding ? Had they advised his
Majesty to send a message.to Parliament relStiVe_to
this subject ?. They seem to desert their seats on the
present occasion, and to avoiasisting any opinion up-J,
on the matter.
Lord ROSSLYN considered such a mode of 'Pro-
ceeding as wholly unprecedented. If the observations
made against the first reading of the bill were proper,
then for several years back we have been acting in a
manner most disrespectful -to his Majesty ? Was any
message waited for in die year. 1808; when the bill
was brought in and passed for suspending for a li-
mited time the power of granting places in reversion?
On the question for adjourning:the 'debate being
put, diet House divided Contents 15—Non-contents
7—Majority 8.
On the return of strangers to the House, -Lord
-CaIosVENGE was stating'-his intention of not pressing.
.the first reading-to-morrow; but of waiving it till Fn.
day, to afford his Majesty's Ministers an opportunity,
.of themselves, to bring a, message down from his Ma=
jesty, to the effect of that suggested by an Address.,
