conviction . obtained by perjury; that one of the per-
jored witnesses, Mary Whitby. had lately been dis-
charged without punishment; and that libeled reddced
herself to penury in attempting to bring her injurer. to
justice. The petitioner prayed the House to take her
hard case into consideration, with a view to affording
her such relief as she deserved, and that the House
would institute an inquiry into the conduct of the Judges
upon her trial.
The SOLICITOR-OENERAL observed, that Mary
Whitby was di%charged with the consent of the Counsel

The Petition was read and laid on the table.
PLAN FOR TOE REMISSION OF TAXES.
; On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, the House went into a Committee on the
.Naval and Military Pensions, and Civil Superannuation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that in rising to call the attention of the House to this
'abject, he need only briefly recal to their recollection
the principles of the resolution they had come to on the
3d of the present month. By these the House had re•
roguing' the Naval and Military Pensions, granted upon
the authority of Parliament, as a debt to which the gond
faith of the public was pledged, and were as much bound
to discharge, as any other portion of
.public debt. The
House had also recognised the principles of so appor
tioning this part of the public debt is studs a manner, as
• to relieve the nation from the fall weignt of it for a our-
, Jain number of years, by converting it into a' fixed an-
dimity for the term of 45. years. Afte; the house had
, \ agreed to their Reeointion, it was understood that it woe
the intention of Parliament that the measure should be
conducted on the principle of open competition, in order
that the whole proceeding might be carried on with the
utmost candour. He Confessed that for his own part he
neser btil been very sanguine in his expectations, that
any party, except some of the great public bodies, would
becoinc the contractors for a scheme of such magnitude.'
The results proved the accuracy of his notions; for al.l
timugh tmch negocistion and communications of differ.'
eat descriptions had taken place, part of which was be-
• fore the patine, no arrangement had been concluded of
the nature which he had been authorised by that house
to make. He now therefore came forward, to lay
effecting an
object in every covet so desirable under the present
circumstances of We country. The plan he was about
to offer for their aperobation and sanction, would be
found to possess many advantages over ilia; before agreed
upon. It was proposed that the Public should itself be-
come the contracting roily upon the present occasion;
and the a lvantages of this would he, that by keeping
the payments in the hands of Oovernment, the
party Mould heroine responsible to that Hoes,. d
to his Majesty's Treasury, at the same time,„
the risk would fall, where tnjustice it aught p
to fall. viz. upon the public itself.—(Near, hear, r,
bear!) —The advantage of all profit accruing from this
plait, .would be the properly of the public: and if any
. kiss aloft out of it, it would fall upon the public, as it
