P.IRLI4MENTART PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, APRIL t 3.

Countel were heard in eontinMtion. relative to the Seoteh Cr 4
Appeal, Abercromby v. E.lphinftou Fleming. To procad agall
on Monday. . .

Three Vtivate Bills were brought op from the Commons, by Sir
J. W. Anderfoo, and other Gentlemen.
The Bills upon the Table were forwarded In their feveral nage/.
The Order of the Day beinrread for going into
a Committee on the Priefte and Deacons' Bill, Lord.
Walfingham accordingly took the Chair.
The Bilbop of ST. ASAPH, purfuant to his inti-
mation on a former evening, made a variety of ob.
fervations upon the fubjeft. After referring to the
leading provifioner of the Bill, he proceeded to ob.
ferve, that the Sacerdotal Charatter in itfelf could
not be done away by the Secular Power ; the Sacer.
dams Catbolicum was that which no Secular Power
could either give or take away: it was derived from
a higher fource. He agreed that it was necefiary
and proper, that Tome era& and defined limits Humid
be put to the age at which perfons fhould he admif-
fible into the facred orders of Deacon and Prieft.—s
In defcribing to the Committee the hiltory of the
fubjeft, the learned Prelate referred to various Ec-
clefiafticel Authorities, whereby it appeared, that
tome variations had obtained with refpeit to the ape
at which perfons were admillible Into the Orders in
quellion. In the earlier ages of the Church, Deacons
were required to be of the age of 23 years, and
Priefts of that of 30; this was about the fourth cen-
tury.—ln fame time after, by a Decree of the Coun-
cil of Trent, perfons of the age of a;, were admit-
fible into Priefte Orders. After contending for the
indelibility of the Sacred Cbaraaer, the Rev. Prelate
obferved, that in cafes where a radical, or original
defett in the Ordination exilled, as in the cafe of
Marriages improperly folemnized, ace. the Lefgifta-
lure may declare the nullity of fuch proceedings : and
it was upon this principle chiefly that he agreed to
the relevant proviion of the Bill.
The Duke of NORFOLK expected his concur-
rence in the principle laid down by the -Reverend
Prelate, as to the indelibility of the facerdotal cha-
rafter. Refpetting this, it was a maxim in the an-
cient Catholic Church, Nec &TO', act apeacia dell;
but with refpeft to the fubjett, there were one or two
confiderations which ilruck him as material. A per-
fon may innocently become fubjett to the enattment
of the Bill, as in the inftance where he was, through
mifinformation, or rather caufes, led to fuppofe that
he was either 23 or 24 years of age, when in raft it
may not be fo. There were carer, alfo in which the
Bifhop who ordained may not be wholly exempt from
blame ; and it may not be unworthy of confederation
what degree of punithment fhould be incurred by a
Diocefan who fhould fo infringe upon an Aft of Par-
liament.

The Bilhnp of ST. ASAPH explained—The cafe
adverted to by the Noble Duke was one of that, he
conceived, within the contemplation of the Bill.—
With refped to the latter conftderation, Bithops were,
as the Law now flood, liable to be called to account
fhould they at in violation of an Mt of Parliament.
The leading provition of the Bill, which enafts
that no perfon (hall bt admiffible to the facred orders
of Deason and Pried, unlefs he (hall have com.
pletely attained the syd or x+th year of his age
refpatively, &c. was then agreed to.
After foam further obfer rations on the part of the
Rev. Prelate and Noble Duke abovementioned, the
remaining provifiens of the Bill, with a few verbal
amendments, were agreed to.
A Claufe was inferted, on the Motion of the Bi.
fhop of St Afaph, for the 000fideration of the Rights,
with refpat to this Bill, of the Metropolitans of the
refpeeive parts of the United Kingdom.
The Houfe then refumed, and ordered the Bill to
be reported on Monday. . . .

Tl;e Report of the Volunteer Bill was then received
pro forma.
Lord AUCK LAND obferved, that in confcquence
of the unavoidable delay of printing the Bill, he did
not think the Report could be conlidered on fo early
a day AS was at firft propoted.—lie teemed to think
not before Tuefday. The Bill was then, with the
Amendments, on the Motion of Lord Wallit,gharn,
ordered to be printed.—Adjourned.

MI

COIIII4ITTII OP SUPPLY.

Lord FOLKS-T*oNi *Mimed, that at the Bill of the lat def.
ACP had expired, he thought It would be neceffary foe the Haag
to koow how far it had been 'Rid upon before it mould be deemed
nen:Bari to revive it. He &mild, therefore, feel It neceffsry to
move for a Return of the number of ComeolSona iffbed by the
fevers! Lords Lieutesant ofectunties refpeetively, under the autho-
rity of this Ad; for if it mould appear there had been none, or mly
very few, It would be uoneceffary, in his opinion, to revive the Bill.
Mr. Secretary iInRKB hoped the Noble Lord would not im-
pede the progrefs of the Bill ; or at kilt that the Houfe would not
content to its delay on the ground hated; for as it was nentifary,
whether the camber under the fanner Bill wit faun or great, to
fame a means of adoring °Seers for the Militia, and the Return
wseatlosted by the Noble Lard could not be obtained without con-
aderable delay, he trotted the Houk would allow the Bin to be
brought W.—Leave given.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve
into aCommittee to confider of the Supply to be
granted to his Majefty.
