and did further decline that the House of Lords was'

and ordained that such Howe should be abolished.

whole powers of the State, but adverse also to the

Power before enjoyed by those who had before assumed
all the powers of the State, did create a new form of
Government. placing at the head thereof a Lord Pro-
tector ; and thus, from time to time, according to the
prevalence of political power in the bands of different
„pet sone, of diffetent religious opinions, the counts y was
involved in confusion for many years. Such transac-
tions plotting most clearly that the peace of this count' y
importantly depetics on the existence of superior polt•
tical power in those who are friendly to the Church
established by lair, And that giving political power to
those wh.'se religious opinions Are hostile to the Esta-
blished Church must tend to endanger that Establish-
mat and the peace- of the realm, and finally may
, °refills ow the ancient form ..1 Government now happily
established by law.
Fautth—That the laws sought to he repealed were
expressly made to avoid similar. distractions inthe State.
by excluding from cc' lain r:ifices,,givini pi•liticat pow. r,
persons holding religious opinions hocile to tlie
lisped Church ; and such laws wet so m ide for the
. protection of such Church, and consequent preservation
,of the public peace, and geese-the residt of the espy-
rieoce of those who Ir med those rates Of the danger of
.imrusting political potter to persons hostile to the
. Established Church. ..
Fifth—Becat:se polities! postai; is :the creature of
tier/litho' institutiois; and o hen in any country political
institutions, forming the Government f the country.j
have been-establethed, every alttra.ion in those in-titu-
yews departing in principle horn the institutions bele. e
adapted, and tending toschmtgethe baliince,et political
power in the State, is at tarn revolptiottin the Govern-
meat of the State, and may, in proportion to the extent
of the change made, tend to produce further revolution
• le the State ; and therefore• changes which may appear
• aist to be in theinselves of considerable importance may,
' by their effects, produce such further changes as may
overthiow the whole Constitution of the S• ate.
Sixth—Because the perpetual endurance of the United
Church of Gteat Britain and Ireland being, by solemn
contracts, a fundamental law of the State, those who,
on the ground of religious opinions, refuse to submit to
the laws made for the preset vation of that Church, might
with equal propriety allege religious opinions as war-
ranting them in refusing to acknowledge the authority
by which the perpetu endurance of that Church has
, been made a fundamental law of the State, or in refusing
to acknowledge the title of the King on the Thi one, and
of a Parliament convened by him, on the ground of
hereditary right to the Throne. which the,' may suppose
to be vested in• the heir of the body of King James the
First. •

Seventb--Because, as long as religious or political
opinions irilueuce the nsieds of men, so as to render
them hostile to any of the ousting establishments of the
Sate, such men canna he truly loyal subjects of that
&ate to the establishments of which they are so hostile ;
sad cannot, therefore, be safely trusted with political
power, by means of which they may disturb the tran
guiltily of the State, and endeavour to overturn any of
its political institutions placed by the law of the State
under the protection and confront of its Government.

Eigtth—Because coigreptionsbf pirsotis dissenting
from the Established Church, but prolecising to be 'rat

their union under such denomination, a body which 1.,

Ordered to be laid od-fheytable.
Mr. LITTLETON' presented.* Petition from the Churchwar-
dens and others of a Parish in Storied. praying that they should
have the smile confront over the Retail brewers at they had at
present over Public-houses.
Mr. DAWSON said the suhj ct was under the con-
sideration of the Right Honourable the Chancellor of
'the Exchequer. • ,
Mr. STANLEY said, he understood that Magi:
trates could not interfere is such cases, except under
the 35th Geo. 111.
Mr. DAWSON said, the subject Was embarassing as
to the course to be pursued by MugistrAtes. The Li-
censes of Retail Brjwers were not c3gniajblk, by. the
Magistrates, and they c••uld not visit their houses.--
The Com Missioners Excise only interfered. to protect
the Revenue. and did wit, at all interfere in cases of
irregularity. it was certainly a doubtful policy 'to place
such Douses under the controul of the filagibtriateg•—!
By the 3d of George IV.. they were not allowed w
interfere. ' •

The Peilsiewaseas rhea sidereal to be Woo the Table.
The-CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER- said.
that in touching on the rubject of Ale•bousir Licenses,
be knew he was treading upon very delicate ground ;
but'his object was so very limited that he would avoid
the general subject at present. It was known that seve-
' ral respectableltotels and other houses sold wines under
certO;ovegulations. but it was lively found that they
were liable tospenalties where they had not 'taken out
a regular wine license. He wish d to remedy the de-
tects of the existing system in this particular, not at all,
howese interfering with the general measure to be
inuradoced by the- Honourable Member for Oxford,—
The Right Honourable Gentleman then moved for
leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the 35th George 111.
ossessustmly known by Ihe name of the Licensing Ac'.
Mt. V. PALMER said be had nn objection to the
Bill, but suggested that there was another class off er-
sons who equally :squired protection against common
intim fuer..

Mr. JOHN WOOD hoped that the retail brewers
would not be subjected to the power of themagistrares
because•they'came in di►ect coutatt with their petegis
the publicans. in whose case, for some reason or other,
►hey felt a deep interest. Several informations sere
laid •agaiost the retail brewers, although they had a
Treasury Order to protect them; but then the Act of
Parliament overrode the Order, and the Magistrates
were obliged to cohvict.
Mr. DAWSON said, thetetail brewers only sold
the beer off their premises, and did not maim it to be
tlere consumed,* they would be enti►ely tree from the
controul of the Magistrates. But the fact was that
roany of theie'persons violated the Act: they had benches
removed at a aunt distance !firm thtir premises, a here
pe•rple drank and smoked, and so far, very properly,
carve under the controut of the. Magistracy. No.man,
he was sure. could wish to continue the disorders which
prevailed at many of these sisops, and interference vies
o further sought or regliied.
1 Mr: F. PALMS and Air. lona 'Wool, mutually explained.
Sir T. ACLAND said Pat this was a subject which
rr gained every attention, arid he toped it would be met
tsrth the utmost impartiality.
Sir JAMES etRAH AM wished to know what regu-

lation was in' ended as 10 the stspFly rtf nin • and ale
,tt steam bo. Is? It was ell k• own that bth articles
Mere sold in steam boats, and that the sellers were
liable to information.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
not aware that these liquors were sold an board steam-
boats. He would turn his attention to the subject, and
give the Hon. Baronet an answer on a future oppor-
tunitr.
Leave was then given to bring in the TUX
