This Marquis qf'l4l.-.JE contende4that by the present
4`.
meaiure they were going Gm:forte extome to another.
It had not been shown br;:an.y. one ihatthere was no
medium which slight safely have bei)wresor4d to, and
to show this he thought was incumbent upon those who
urged the adoption (lan extreme measure like the pre-
sem-17nm tire. House. The- system- proposed was likely,
in his opinion, to interfve materially with the employ.
-ment of the labouring classes, and to accelerate the pro-
gress of those evils whiCh the administration of the Poor
Laws had already produced. He did no: see why some
measure might not be brought forward for the regula-
tion of bankers. From 1797 to 1808. a period of ten
years, there had been an immense circulation of small
notes, and yet no depreciation whatever.

Lord CALTHORPE admitted that the measure now
before the House was a necessary consequence of the
Act of 1826. By that Act a distinction was made be-
tween the bankers of England and Scotland, and those
who approved of that distinction must •of course vole
for the present Bill. But he was net prepared to acquiesce
in the principle of the Act of 1826. It was applied to
England without inquiry. It long suspended over Scot-
land, but was averted because inquiry was demanded
and granted. He felt all the difficulties of the subject ;
and the simple fact, that inquiry had been granted for
Scotland, and not for England, warranted his opinion
that further inquiry was necessary. • • •
-Earl FERRERS begged to ask the Noble Duke,
whether he thought it possible that the immense debt
contracted by this country in papercould be paid in gold ?
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in reply to an ob-
servation
servation of the Nohle7Eirl, said that the rneastirg
of 1826 had his unqualified approbation. He had
stated what he thoug4tt very • good -reasons for tie
present Bill, when . he.,said thax,'Committees cf both
Houses of Parliament had conouned -in its perekAtr,
and bad both expressed the opinion that they ought to
abolish small notes altogether•in Scotland rather than
to suffer thera...to circu'ate in•Englaid. With respect
to the question put to him-by the Noble Lord who had
just•sat down, he could only say; that, he had the fullest
confidence of the country beiirg able to fulfifall its en-
gagements. . •
