were about to be coined, but not for the exclusive use of th
kingdom. It was supposed that such a coinage might be usi
ful here, but if not it was of little consequence, as the do
mand for such a coin in the colonies was very great.

The Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill was, on the
motion of Lord ELIOT, read a third time and passed.
Mr. Walter was then ordered to appear at the bar of the
house, and the report of the election compromises commit-
tee being read by the clerk as the table, that gentleman pro-
ceeded to address the house. In refusing to appear before
the committee to he examined as a witness he had no in-
tention to show the slightest disrespect to the house, nor had
he the slightest disinclination to give the fullest explanation
of everything of which he was personally cognisant respect-
ing the recent election for Nottingham. He thought, how-
ever, that as he was upon his trial, be had the constitutional
right enjoyed by every British subject, to demand a trial b'
an impartial tribunal. Having st-
course he had pursued, he professe
to any order the house might make,
entirely in its hands.
Having been directed to withdraw,
Mr. ROEBUCK moved that Mr. Walter be directed to at-
tend the committee at eleven o'clock this day.
Sir R. INGLis thought the course pursued towards Mr.
Walter was not correct, for he was thereby deprived of an
impartial tribunal. He was of opinion, however, that Mr.
Walter was wrong in the first instance in writing to the com-
mittee, and in then abandoning the high ground he had chosen
by offering to submit. He would not have advised such a
course of proceeding.
Colonel SIBTHORP said, to whatever gaol Mr. Walter might
have been sent, he would have been amongst the first to pay
his respects to him.
Sir G. GREY suggested the propriety of admonishing Mr.
Walter.
Sir R. PEEL thought it would be quite sufficient if the
Speaker intimated to Mr. Walter that it was his duty to
attend before the committee.

third reading of the new Tariff Bill.
Mr. JARVIS moved a clause to the effect that a drawback
of the duty on exported coal should be allowed when such
coal was re-shipped on foreign or colonial stations for the
use of British steam-vessels for their own consumption. This
was a concession which, he contended, should

Mr. DUNCOMBE then moved an amendment ti

which the tariff, in its first edition, proposed to reduce to ss.
The suggestions of parties interested, hOwever, seemed to
have produced their effect, for the Government subsequent-

ly proposed to iscrease it—first to 10s. and then to 20s ; and,
in addition to this, it was arranged that the 20s. duty should
not commence until 1843. He concluded by moving, that
the words postponing the period when the duty should be
come into operation should be struck out; which was the
more necessary, as the reduced duty on leek seed whould
come into immediate operation, and the similarity of both
seeds would lead to extensive frauds.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that in postponing the period when
-duced duty should come into operation, the government
was entirely actuated by a desire to save the home grower,
who was exposed to a more sweeping change than any other

would take precautions against fraud.

say that the government had not, in the case of corn, cheese

themselves broadly laid down.

conflicting interests, it was not always possible to adhere
strictly to the principle laid down. The measure, however,
