to be compulsory on the .Jedges to allow Trial by

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was
better in the mean time to do all that could be con.
veniently done, and not to attempt to hang a clusia
about the necks of those for whose benefit the regula.
tion was designed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, proposed a clause
that the Jury should be unanimous. This into.* was
merely inserted for further consideiation on the Re-
port—but his own opinion was decidedly in its favour,
and in this opinion the Marquis of Lettidowne, Lord

the Earl of Roaslyn, and Earl Stanhope, concurred.

ADMIRALTY DROITS, dtc.

Mr. BENNETT noticed a sum of 9981. lately
paid, and wished to know whether a public officer
retained his situation after absconding from the
country; also, whether the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer would give any details to the House respect.
ing a sum of 40001. paid to the Duke of York for
entertainments given to his Royal Highness's bro.
ther-in-law, the King of Prusssia ? He wished to
know whether the First Lord of the Treasury had
received any allowance for the entertainments he
gave to the Royal Personages ?—[A laugh].
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
spoke in a very low tone of voice : we understood
him to say, that the individual had wished to retire
from his situation ; but that some circumstances had
prevented its being as yet filled up. As to the second
question, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent had
been pleased to older a grant to his illustrious brother
the Duke of York ; but he was not aware that it was
subject to any minute enquiry. The first Lord of the
Treasury, he believed, had received no grant whatever
for his entertainments.—[A laugh.]
