POOR LAWS.
Mr. STIIRGES BOURNE rose, pursuant to his
notice. to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regu-
late the Laws relative to the Poor. Ile did not at
this time intend to enter upon the subject, •and
thought it would by better to postpone,sny discussion
of it t►ll after the Bill had gone through the Com-
mittee, and had the'bSnks filled up. At the same
'4 time be was ready to give any explanation now to
any Member. This Bill failed last Session, in con-
sequence of certain alterations made in the other
House. A most important clause had been expunged
in 'the other licruse. But in deference to, the high
authority of that branch of the Legislature, he should
not insert that clause in the Bill which he now wish-
ed to introduce. He concluded by moving for leave
to bring in the Bill.
Sir ROBERT WILSON wished to know whether
the Committee had been able to make any estimate
of the comparative k%crease or decrease of the Poor
Rates during the 10bc year ?
Mr. s. BOURNE said that he was afraid he could
not give the Honourible Member a satisfactory__ an-

WINDSOR RSTAIILISHURNT.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR if the EL
•CHEQUER,, the House went into a Committee to
consider the report of the Committee on the Windsor
Establishment, and Mr. Brooms took the Chair.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that with respect to'
the provision for her late Majesty's servants, the Com-
mittee had recommendid, that the annual sum of
£18;24.5, should be applied to that purpose. He ap-
prehended It was not necessary for him, after what
he had suited last eight, to enter at present into any
further details on that part of the subject. He should
therefore simply move the second resolution—" That
ii is the opinion of this Committee, that the sum of
0,561, being the fourth part of the annual allow-
ance, be issued every quarter out of the-Exchequer
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
to the late servants of her Majesty.
The Resolution was then put and carried.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the next subject
which he should submit to the consideration of, the
Committee was the office of castor; and after what
had passed in the discuision of last night, he was sure
that no further argument was necessary. He should
wish, in proposing the Resolution which he was about
to submit on thishead, to avoid every allusion which
might have a personal reference to his Royahlligh.
ness, and to look only at the official dlitief which
were to be entilsted to him. As to the amount of
the provision made for this office, no question had
been advanced in the House. Parliament had for-
merly allowed £lO,OOO to this office ; and he thought
and felt convinced that every Member of the House
would agtee with him,' that '£lo,ooo a-year, consi-
dering the dignity of the office, and all the circum-
stances connected with it, be was convinced the
House would not think the sum too great. The
House would ace that the habits of Royal Persons,
and the state which their rank obliged them to sup-
port. unavoidably raised their scale cf expenditure
*hove that of ordinary life. They would also bear,
in mind, that the office was not merely attended
With great expense, but that it placed his Royal High-
ness, in that respect, niuch in the same situation as
the King himself would be in. He was sure that no
personal motive had actuated those who had voted
with him last night, and therefore they could not be
cunsideied as pledged to support him on this ques-
tion ; but lie thought they could not take a better
guide than the conduct of the former Parliainent.—
AVith regard to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Tierney) and the othef Gentlemen on the opposite
side. he thought he had an equal claim to their
support, and he hoped they would be'convinced that
the conduct of Parliament in 1811 and 1812, was
the btst guide they could follow. It way not merely
Idle-office, but the elevated rank of th.e individual,
and other attending circumstances, that must regulate
,the expense. The Noble Lord then moved, " that I
au annual sum of 10,0001. be granted to his Iloyall
Highness the Duke of York, to meet the expense of
his Royal Highhess, incurred by discharging the du-
ties of custos of his Majesty's person."
Mr. TIERNEY said,he was at a loss to conceive
enehat reminds the Noble Lord calculated on his
support to the present proposal. If the Noble Lord
had consented that the 10,0a01. should be taken out
of the Privy Pui-se, on that condition he would have
agreed to die grant, but oa no other—and this he
had stated in the Committee. The conduct of tl:e
last Parliament had been recommended to them as a
guide on the present occasion; and the Noble Lord
seemed to think that it would be inconsistent in those
who voted for the grant in 1812 to oppose it now ;
but that grant to the Queen, he bested to remind the
Noble Lord, lie (Mr. Tierney) had opposed—(llear,
hear), and yet, to preserve consistency, he was now
called upon to support a similar measure—(.l laugh
and cheer:.) Oa account of the Queen's affliction at
that time, the House, from motives of delicacy, had
been unwilling to oppose the grant—but surely they
had never intended that that vote should form a pre-
cedent. Ile certainly was not disposed to offer op-
position to the measure; but if the Noble Lord per-
sisted in driving it on, he should not think that he was
disehatging his duty, if lie did not oppose it. Ile
.would not divide the House on the question to-night,
because, from A misunderstanding with regard to the
course which it was understood the Noble Lord was
to pursue, many Gentlemen had not attended the
House. But he now gave notice, that on Thursday
he would take the sense of the House on this grant.
Whether the proposed sum was proper or not, was
not the question with him ; but he was determined,
that as far as his opposition could have any effect, it
should not come out of the public purse.
Mr. WAITHMAN could not allow this vote to
Mass without entering his solemn pretest. It did ap-
pear obvious to him, that in this affair the House
were at liberty to adopt any course which they
thougbt,proper. The Privy Purse was a public fund,
and as such the House of Commons had a Tight tot
dispose of it. He opposed the measure, not solely
on account of the circumstances of the country, but
on various.other grounds. When the distress qcca-
stoned by the weight of taxation was so great, and
when it was stated on all sides of the House that it
was necessary to adopt economy, it was evident that
it must commence somewhere. If his Majesty's Mi-
nisters were sincere,• it was incumbent on them to
prove their sincerity by adopting economical mea-
sures. Imadvising his Royal Highness the Duke of
York to allow them to bring down the Message which
they had brought from him, they had given advice
Which tended only to 'degrade his Royal Highness.
They ought rather to have advised him to come
dawn to the House himself, and to say that he would
be proud to take any sum chick Parliament would
allow him ; but that, front the distiess of the coun-
try, lie could not consent to receive it from the public
. He would not detain the House any longer,
purse
he was convinced that in whit he had said, he
bad spoken the sentiments of that *hole Country.
• Mn CURWEN thought he should not discharge
his duty, if he did not give his decided orlillidem
to the
Thelqiution was then put, and •
The 4 Resolution, " That tbe paytiiediAtf all
Annuities and Pensions to superadnuated Servants Of

•
•d.

Ms Majesty be pig/ get of the:ooft&Wed Pun&
agreeably to Act 52 if his Majesty," was then moved•
Mr. BANKES wished td know. the precedent
Which ',maid be established.
Lord CAJ3II r"" GH said, that by the Act as
had the -

, now stood, the nu / right cF providing
Got the superannuated Servants of the King, taking
care that the charges did not exceed the amount spe-
cited by the Act of Parliament.
The Resolution was then carried.
The sth Resolution, " That die snm of 14, ►OOl.
being the 4th part of the annual sum allowed to the
late Queen, be set aside from the Civil List each
quarter, and be carried over to the Consolidated
Fond," was then moved.

Sir A. HOPE said, that he was antious to have
the number of Equerries distinctly allowed by the
Committee. I By reducing two of them, the saving
effected would be tantamount to nothing. But should'
his Majesty recover from his indisposition, it woold
necessarily give him great pain to find any of his old
servants displaced. Besides, his Majesty, in his pre-
sent situation, required the attendance of his servints
Os formerly ; the Lords of the Bedchamber could re-
main with him, and perform the same offices as tor.!
merly. On principle, therefore, and on economy,
he would
.urge the continuance of jiz Equerries.—
The principle was, that Parliament should give the
IRing every gratification in their power. As to the
economy, it was said that the savii would be 10001.
a-year ; but it might not be 1001. altogether. If the
King lived long, it might again be 20001. the saving
then was from 1001. to 2000!.
Mr. TIERNEY suggested that the best timl
moving to the effect proposed by the gallant Officer,
would be on Thursday next, when the Report would
be brought up.
Mr. C. W. WYNN said, that all that came before
the House was the sum total to be voted for the Esta-
blishment, and a recommendation that the number
of Equerries should he four. He did not think,
therefore, that the number could be altered cn bring.
ing up the Report.
Sir A. HOPE remarked, that the Fstimate con-
tained six Equerries, although the Report recont-1
mended only lour.
Mr. TIERNEY said, that the Estimate, as Te-
rmed to in the body of the Report, required to con-
tain six Equerries ; but the Report recommended that
the number should he four instead of six.

Sir A. HOPE said; he should therefore move that
six be the number of EquerrieA.
Mr. TIERNEY said, he agreed with his Honour-
able friend (Mr. Wynn). If the suns proposed were
49,000/. it might be moved that it should be 50,000/.
The money was in fact allowed for six. while it
should only be for four Equerries. The question
seemed to be how the Honourable Officer could in-
crease the number of Equerries. •
Sir A. HOPE proposed to give notice of a motion
for Thursday, that the number of Equerries be six.,
Mr. BRO4DEN thought that this was not the
most regular mode.
SW It. WILSON said, that as far as the feelings
of the King would affect the question, the objection
was equally arplicable to every reduction of the
lLtablisliment. •
Sir A. HOPE said, that he could not pledge him-
self to any form of troceeding; for at present he
wanted only to know when and how to do it.
Mr. TIERNEY stated, that since the Bill to be
brought in must be in the same form as that of 1812,'
the several Officers, the Groom of the Stole, &e:
must beitamed in it ; ameng those would be four
Equerries. It would then be competent to move that
four should be left out, and six inserted in its place.
Sir A. HOPE said he should follow that course.
The Resolution was then carried. r.i ,

The several,Resolutions having been voted. the
House resumed, and the Report was Ordered to be
received on Thursday next.—Adjourned.
