PARLIAMENTARY PROCBEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, JULY t.
Hard Counfet in an Appeal Cat& from the Court d King's
Bench, Alkow •. Mackretti.

The Army of Referee Bill was firmest up from the Houk of
Commons by the Sac aaaaaa at Waa, with fame other Bills,
ind, upon the motion of Lord HOIART, it was read the lirft time
and ordered to he printed.

On the qoefiion being put. that it be read a fe•
cond time to-morrow,

The Earl of Motu rofe and obferved, that the pre-
fent Bill was one of the molt preffing importance ; it
was urgently neceffary that it fhoulif be paffed into a
law with as much expedition as polfible. However, as
it was very poMble there were fome Noble Lords who
were adverfe to the Bill, and wfthed to deliver their
fentiments thereon, it was but reafonable to allow
them time to confider it, under the many and mate-
rial amendments it had received in the Houfe of
Commons from its original form, and to come fully
prepared for the dircuffion, which he thought they
could not do before to-morrow, upon the motion for
committal ; betides, even although there fhould be a
full attendance ofikthe Noble Lords in town to-mor-
row, to go into th difetiffion, yet there were other
Noble Lords, who having no notice that the Wore
would fir to-morrow, out of its ordinary cook, nor
of this sill coming forward for difeuffion fo early,
they would of courfe have to renew the difeuffion
upon the Report of the Bill, and thus its progrefs
would be impeded by two debates inflead of one.—
His Lordfliip, therefore, took the liberty of fuggeft.
ing the propriety of fuffering the Bill, without any
previous difeuffion upon its principle, to go into the
Committee, and there to receive fuch amendments
as may be judged expedient ; referving the dirculGon
upon the principle of the Bill till the Report, which
would be a fit flage for every Noble Lord who had
ohjellions againft the Bill to offer them. Titling
this courfe, every Noble Lord 'Amid have time deli.
berately to penile and confider the Bill ; and he ex.
preffed his fincere hope they would come prepared on
the Report of the Bill, rather with a refolution to
confine themfelves as concifely as poffible to the fub.
jell of the Bill itfelf, than to expand into diffulive
fpeeehes upon extraneous topics, the area of which
would be to retard in its progrefs, for one or two
days longer, a Bill which it WAS fo extremely defira-
bit lhnuld pals with the utmoft expedition, as there
was not in fad one moment to be loft.

Lcrd Mt/LORAN' coincided fully with the Noble
Ea.! on the neceffity of expedition, and walled, though
it was in fome degree trenching upon the Standing
Orders r f thL Houle, that the bill might go into a
Committee tn-morrow. Their Lordlhips had, in
many cafes of extraordinary urgency, (offered many
bills to pars through more than one Rage in a day :
and this was certainly as urgent in its nature as any
former bill which had been fo paired. By the bill go-
ing into a Committee to morrow, it might be reported
on Monday, and read a third time on ruelday.
The Loa o CHANCELLOR laid, that fo long as there
was a (landing order upon their Lordfhips' Journals,
declaring it to be contrary to the duty of the perfon
who filled tl.e Woolfack, to put any queßion con.
trary to the orders of the Houle, he trolled they
would not prefs him to a violation of his de.y, by
putting any fuch que(lion. And it would be equally
departing from the dignity of their Lardllips pro-
ceedings, to order any refolution to be put in viola.
tion to the Rending orders on their Journals. In fait,
no quellion could even be put for taking loch Band-
ing orders into confitteration, for the impale of fuf-
Pendißg them, on Ida than two days notice;---and
fume loch nseafore matt be taken, if any loch ar-
rangement as that yropored by the Noble Lord was
defired.

After fome fliort conyerfstian, in which Lord H -
bait, Lord Pelham, and Lord Moira joined, it was
underflood that the bill was to be read a fecond time
to-ntorrow, and committed for Monday ; and that
any debate upon the principle fhonld not take plaFe
