SALE OF DREAD.
On the motion of the Karl of LAUDERDALE a
particular clause regulating the infliction of penalties
on Bakers, for certain deficiencies in the weight of
loaves, was read out of the 36th of George 111.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE then rose to move the
second reading of the Sale and Matinfacture of Bread
Regulation Bill. Its object went no farther than to
repeal the clause which had just been read, and which
though intended to secure the public against fraudu-
lent Bakers, not only failed to accomplish that purpose,
but rendered honest bakers liable to great grievances.
it was impossible for the m ist attentive baker to be
certain that every loaf which he made was exactly of
the required weight, nnless he made them of a
much greater weight than that fixed by the statute.
and thus incurred a voluntary loss. It was theref re
always in the power of an informer, even when the
average was right, on a single loaf toconvict an honest
baker, sod to recover the penalty which the existing Act
imposed. The fraudalent, en the contrary, were exempt
`how its operation, for as the expense of conducting a
prosecution amounted to 171. 7s. no Goma fide cus-
tomer would, on account of a little deficiency in
weight, engage in a proceeding which would cost him
so much. It was known besides, that associations had
been formed by fraudulent bakers to support them-
selves against such prosecutions. By the Act as it
now stood, it WaS therefore clear that honest bakers
were at the mercy of informers, whilst the fraudulent
were safe. The best seco•ity for the public was that
which the Bill before the House provided ; for bakers
would be obliged to keep weights and scales in their
shop, and any customer might force them to weigh
every loaf before purchasing it. lie therefore believed
that the Legislature would do wisely to adopt tie
present Bill, and moved that it now be read a second
time.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed to•morrow.
COURTS OF LAW IN IRELAD.
Viscount SI 1)1101..T11 stated, on movin4 the se-
cond readin., of the Irish Nisi Prins Bill, that he on
derstood it was not to be opposed. Ile s!ootld indeed
have been surimsed if any objection had been made to
such a measnre. Any Noble Lord who perused the
report, would find that the most intolerable abuses
prevailed in that quarter. The persons who received
fres were in the habit of stopping proceedings in the
Courts, till those fees which they had concerted among
themselves to enact had been paid, or a deposit made
and security given for their payment. The present
amount of the charges to meet the demands of these
elerio, was 11,9 i. I. It also appeared from the evi-
dence, that one of the clerks had encreascd hi, revenue
by fees of his own imposing, from 2,519/. to -I,titlfg.
a-year. The ntolne profits made by the Re2istrA: oft
the Berens of the Exchequer amounted, in three years,
to 9531. 17s. 641. The
Noble Lord then read several
parts of the Report, shewing the existence of other
cases of abuses. lie stated that the difference between
the present mode and the former would produce -a
saving of 6,699/.; and that the whole anionnt of the
proposed Stamp Murree less than the deposit re-
tained by the Registrar as security for the payment of
costs. He then moved that the Bill be now read a se-
cond time.
After a few words from the Earl of LIMERICIt in
favour of the measure, the Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next.
On the motion of the Earl of LIMERICK, the Irish
Rate of Int• rest Bill was also read a second time, and
ordered to be conimitted to-morrow.
otsTiLT.ATION OF SPIRITS.
The Marquess of LANSDOWNE rose to make a
motion, of which he had not thought it necessary to
glie notice, as it was for a document which was al-
ready before the other House of Parliament. But a
&tort *time had elapsed since their Lordships had heard
the eistem lout in force in Ireland to put down the
practice of small Stills, justly ieprobeted as most nn-
jest in its operation. That system was now abandon-
ed, and the ingennitt of science had, since its shamdonnlent, invented amachine, which, being fixed to
any still, registered the amount of the spi distilled
bv OA still, and was thus able to cohrey to the Ex-
cise information on pints which it had hitherto been

Pawn BEVti4

deemed impossible to procure. This machine cam •
recommended, not by the opinion of the inventor atom..
bat by a Report to the Commissioners of Excise in
Ireland, to whom it had been referred. The import-
ance of such a discovery was too great not to attract
the attention of their Lordships, for it might alsi.it
most essentially in repressing a practice no less inju-
rious to the revenue than demoralising to the country.
He should therefore move, that there be laid before the

House a copy of the Report made to the Commissioners
of Excise in Ireland by the officers appointed by them
to inquire iuto the distillation of Spirits.
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that the most odious
part of the system lately in force in Ireland bad been
abandoned, but unfortunately in such a manner as not
to impart that degree of relief to the country which had
been intended. It was remarkable that a system should
have been so long maintained, which now was never
mentioned but in terms of the most decided reproba•
lion on all sides. Ile wished to guard the Howm
against a statement contained in the Report for which
the Noble Marquess had moved, that illicit distillation
ht d iacreased since the abandonment of the late sr-
tem. This effect had been anticipated at t'Ae time, if
other measures of a less objectionable tendency wet,•
not adopted. Those measures had not been adopted,
and the Revenue had suffered. But this ought not to
be considered any argument in favour of the obi sy,.
tern ; it ought only to show the necessity of tnakiii4
new arrangements upon the subject.
The Motion was then agreed to.
LONDON WHARFS BHA,.
The Earl of LIMERICK wished to know, before he
moved the second readiug of the London Wharfs' Rill,
whether it was their Lordships intention to hear Con n-
sel at the Bar in support of the Petitions sgains: the

The LORD CITANCELLOR conceived that insease
where the interests of the Petitioners were to
u ply
concerned, it would be but justice to them to hear
Counsel at the Bar in support of iheir Petitions.
Counsel were then called to the Bar, when Mr.
Jaeks.m appeared fos the Petitioners, and Mr. Hart kon
in support of the Bill.
Mr Jacl:gon havini,• been beard at length against
the Bill, further hearing was postponed, on the motion
of Lord I/scut:, to Friday nest.
The Se-miens' Wages Bill went through a Commit-
tee, and the Report was rect.'sed.—Adjourned.
