were to the same eifect.
Lea MILTON observed, that the question wee,
ninoskur the Bill allodeti to, and the other Bills of
the moo damriotion were for the supplies of the
'ter? Ile theright the, were not so. They were
not to famish lite supplies of the year, but to sip-
ped@ Spiting Food for the redacting of the National
DA.. Now it appeared to him, that not being Bills
for fereisling the supplies of the year, the Hesse
ought set to dose its doors areinst Petitions which
might he presented •pinst them. 'tnis was a per.
lismesitary distinction, which, he believed had bees
tecognizoil mom thee oiler.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
mode two or three observations, which were wholly
inaudible In the gallety.
The SPEAKER observed, that he believed all Re-
snlistlons agreed to in a Committee of Ways and
Means were, without distinction, considered to be

was is the knowledge of the Mouse of Commons,
that the Bills in question were founded on Resolu-
tions originally Gyred to in • Committee of the
whole House, het not la the Committee of Wets and
Means ; end that it was spftilicilly steel is those
Resolutions. that it was expedient to make en addi-
tion to the Sinking Fund.

tions so the subject, both representing the releirits
Oleos of the proposed Tat. As it seemed not I.
be the disposition of the noose to receive these Teti.
tuns, he gas. sootier, that when the Consolidation
Bill want into the Committee, be would take the sense

seed lobe of the most injurious Ware, inarnsing, as
it did, s duty on the raw material of a manufacture.

being lased, was, at the present moment, peeuliarly
Incapable of sustaining any increased pressure.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that vrofeuing, as the
House did, to open its doors wits to the prayers of
the People, it freight toe-nsider what it was about
to do in rejecting these Petitions; sod not add In the
burden which it was intended to impose, the 'flint.
lion which most he esti rd by its refusal to receive
them. He denied that the duties sgsinst •hich they
were directed were, faint) speaking, for the supplies
of the year. In the gist place, they were not sums
liy voted. In the nest place, the supplies of
the year were 'pectic services, for which lams were
•ntood. Besides, it was avowedly known, that the
doves in qeestion were for the purpose of adding to
the &skin* rand, and cattail-rutty not for the sup-
plies of the year. If, therefore, by any favourable
construction, the Positions could he received, he
toasted, notwithstauding what had fal'en from the
Chair (to which. ao Member was disposed to bow
with more defector.) that they wool,' not he reject.
