mons, and read a first time.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR, on this occasion, observed
that he had no objection to a Bill for lighting any place with
Gas; but he must observe, that the smell of the gaseous air was
sometimes so offensive, as hot to be endured ;, and there were
Noble Lords then present who must have felt its noxious ef-
fects that day.

On the Order of the Day being moved for the
House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Bill
for disfranchising the Borough of Grampound,
The Earl of LAUDERDALE renewed his objec-
tions to the measure,-and said he should move to pot
it off for six months; units; the Amendments intended
to be proposed in it were salistictory to him.
The House then resolved itself into the Committee.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he never could
agree to the Bill if it, should come out of the Com-
mittee anything like What it was at present.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that in order to
afford their Lordships an opportunity of discussing
this Bill with more convenience, he should propose
that the preamble be postponed. The first enact-
meat in it was, that .the Borough of Grampound
should cease to elect Members to the High Court of
Parliament, and in this he fully agreed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he never could
consent to deprive a number of innocent Electors of
their rights; and he would suave, as an Amend-
ment, to leave out the words which declared that the
Borough of Grampound should Cease to elect Mem-
bers ; and to substitute in their stead a provision to
this effect, that the Electors of Grampound who had
not been convicted of bribery, should not be the sole
Electors of that Borough.
Lord ERSKINE combated the argument that this
was a Bill of Pains and Penalties ; and he thought it
would be highly expedient, by a measure of this kind,
to remove those reproaches that had been frequently
thrown out against the House of Commons, as. not
representing the people of this country. The House
of Commons could have done nothing more condu-
. cive to the public safety than the passing of this Bill;
and every man must feel that such a measure would
give satisfaction to the Public. It was not a Bill to
inflict a penalty, but a Bill of regulation, introduced
with a view of purifying the Constitution.
Lord SIDMOUTH strongly objected to any !tin-
sure that went to inflict punishment ou any persons
not convicted of crimes.
The Earl of HArtROWBY supported the Bill.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND opposed the
Bill, on the ground of the gross injustice of con-
founding the innocent with the guilty. He regretted
that he should differ from his Noble Friend by his
side, but it was the first time in a long series of years
that he.had entertained a different opinion, and he
could only say of his Noble Friend, on this occasion,
" Aliquando bonus dortnitar—(Laughter).
Lord AIELVILLE could not conceive that the Bill
went to inflict a punishment. As well might it be
said that in cases of damage done to a house during
