The Order of lb* Day kering been read for taking
into limber consideration the Report of ibis Publi-
cans' Licences !legislation Bill. en the motion of
Mr. BENNE:I7 the Bill was re-erienmitted.

A long diwession ensued on several classes. is
which variousa amendnienti were made. On arriving
at ibe clues by which so appeal was provided from
the Liceering Maeistrates,

Mr. BENNETT expressed his apprehension, that
is consequence of the great opposition which that
clause seemed to esperiesiee, be should he ender the
necessity of relinquishing it. lie stated shortly the
considerations which had urged bins to introduce the
Bill. It was well kaolin that there were • great
many brewers, who, for purposes of interest, entered
into Corporations, became Magistrates, and ultimate-
ly proprietors of poblie.booses. These persons sere
in many cases induced to give • bounty nn the fon.
sumptien of their own liquor, by the encouragement
of every kind of vice. He had received a letter
from a respectable Clergyman at Ese'er, stating that
be resided in a parish of that cite, inhabited by the
poorest classes of She people, WO in number, of
whom only IS paid Pours' Rates. That eat of those
eighteen, seven kept public-hoeses ; five were within
a hundred yards of each other. That, nevertheless,
one of the Members of the Corporation, who was a
brewer, wished In set up another hoes, in the parish,
egainst the vitelsirshoseut of which the Clergyman in
question had in vain applied to the Magistrates, tr►
his Diocese., and to out of the kleualters.—The
lion. Gentleman here read a list of the number of
brewers who were Magistrates la a variety of small
towns which he named, and declared the happiness
which be ►hould feel if he could be the bumble in-
strument in pelting down so great en evil.
Mr. COURTENAY warmly defended the Mogi-
striates of lb. City of Reeler soloist the charges pre-
ferred against them, wet in Ilse Report of the Com-
mittee on the subject, bet on an ex parte statement
contained in an anonymous {wit And what was
the whole of this mighty Lion? That in the
opinion of a Clergyman of Easter there was one
•le.hoose too much in a parish of that city. The
lion. Gentleman felt so strongly that the sense of
the lines* was against the clause which he had de-
scribed, that he abandoned it; and, having Own-
cloned it, proceeded to utter calumnies age:nst a body
of an who were sot there t• saswer for them-
selves.

Mr. BENNETT replied, that as he bad been ac.
tamed of ealuancy, he world read the lute► and the
name of lb. Clergyman front whom he had received
it, which the Hon. Member accordingly did.
Lord EBRING'TON said a few words, the pur-
port of which we were unable to collect.
Mr. COURTF.NAY explained.
Lord MILTON said, be coald rent help complain-
ing that bis lion. Friend had consented to abandon
the clause relating le, boroughs and 'owns having N.
