M. A. TAO.w, Mr. Brog.lett, and others, and afterwards read
a first time.
Lord. EIIiESTICKOUGH presented Petilians from the
Parish of St. klarFlo.honne, and St. George's, Hanover-
synare, for the repeal of the lowtivent Debtors' Bill.
The Coppsr Duty Bill went through a Committee.
The Adjourned -Debate on the motion for the
second reading of the Helstone Election Bill was
resumed.
The LORO CHANCELLOR said, he should
move as en sineudment, " that the Bill be read a
second time this day six months." In the cases which
I were suppesed- to he analogous, of Shoreham, Crick-
Lade, and Aylesbury, a totally different mode was
fellewed bare that its the present' Bin. Parliament
did not there punish the- innocent with the guilty,
but extended the right ofiranchise to the neighbour-
ing Hundreds, to defeat certain combinations for
bribery among the Electors. But in this case of the
Borough of Helstoae, because tome individuals
had been guilty of bribery, therefore the whole of
the Electors should be deprived of their right to'
vote, though forty-eight new Members had been in-
, troduced since the time of the corrupt practices al-
leged and the passing the Bill.
Lord.GRENVILLE thought the course recom.
mended by the Noble and Learned Lord was the only
one which they could pursue. He objected to this
Bill as it blended an enactment of pains and penalties
with Legislative measures of general expediency. It
never could he necessary to blend in one proceeding

diency. He could not see the propriety of giving the I
franchise, to the two nearest Hundreds in the present
case. In former cases this might be necessary; for
if the franchise had been communicated to persons at
a distance front the spot, they would not have been
disposed to pet themselves to the trouble of atteud--
ing an Election;, but in this case, where the right
was taken altogether from the town, he could not
see the propriety of giving it to the two nearest
Hundreds any more than to any two hundreds
t throughout the kingdom. If wealth and populatioti,
were to be taken as the rule, they would find many
Hundreds possessing a, much stronger claim than those
Two Hondreds at the extremity of Cornwall. In ,
voting to postpone the second reading for six months,
be did net offer any opinion whether, if .a Bill free 11
',from this objection should be brought in hereafter,
he might not give it his support.
I Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE stated, that many
persons hid been called from their homes on account
of this Bill, at a great expense, and suggested the
propriety of recommending some compensation to
them.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that was a
matter of separate consideration.
The Bill was then thrown out.—Adjourned till
Monday next.

There were at present St prisoners for debt in Somer-

number had only been once before known. Derive
notice, that at the proper stage he would move an
Amendment, to place farmers on the same footing ai
merchants, who were allowed to make appeals, and
received deductions for losses during the year.
Mr. Aldermen 3111TH supported the Bill.
Mr. HORNER was stroatglyi •in favoar of some
amendment like .that proposed • by Ur. Dickinson-,
which was of the.deepest importance to the agricul;•
tura! interest. The statensint Made by the Hon.
Member for Somerset was far from being exaggerated",
and might be applied to the country in general. The
recent discussions on the Corn Bill bed shown the
great difficulties ender which the farmer now labour-
ed, no man could doubt that the agricultural interest
was the great source and fountain of the revenue,
and yet th*Chasseellor of the Exchequer was ahont
'to renentsitax, which, even in times of the almost
prosperity, had been found intolerably oppressive..".
•Whit-reasoncould be assigned for eat ellowieg the
farmer the same modification that was given to 'the
merchant ? Why was he to be compelled to pay a
supposed tax upon profits, when, in fact, he had
been a loser tin the year's account ? The Chancellor
of the Exchequer might lean disposed to turn a deaf
tar to these representtations, but 'a time might come
whets they would be even less acceptable Ind more
inconvenient.
The .CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought, that supposing the farmers were distressed,
the remedy now proposed was .most inespediento.--
