tesioneoe
Oreeieti, be did believe that weir of our pallet laws:
log *bleb indirislaals had lost ebeir Urn, were Me'id
at times when the House might have been coeste4 out.
It was from this cause that toe many verbal inacoan-
cies and absarditing, if be might be allowed tocalLasy
thing absurd in oar acts of Parliament, were coati-
neatly espoard in various Bills. Vans it was that
they often met with the printer's marginal notes, io
tended to remove the blame from himself of blunders
that he might well be ashamed of. He trusted that the
House woald take this matter into its most serioas

consideration.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from eertaia Law
Stationers of London, against the spoiled Stamps Bill.
When the Right Hen. tiestionan (the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) brought is this Bill, he stated that it
was only a Bill of Regulations, whereas it was sow
found that it imposed new duties. The Hon. Member
wished that the Bill might be postponed until due
inquiry bad been made, so as to pat the Hokum in par
session of ail the facts connected with it. It was his
intentioe to propose a clause for receiving proposals
from persons ditposed to become distributors of Stamp.,
by which means be was couviuced that a saving of
50,0091. might be effected.
Mr. SCARLETT ma►ls a few observations which
we could not collect, upon some provisions of the Bill,
which be insisted should be exceeded to Load's so
well as to the country.
Mr. HUME explained.
Mr. BROUtiHAM objected to the gunner is dish
the Bill bad been introduced, in a eosstilutioemipaltst
of view. It was represented as a measure of regula-
tion, and now it appeared to be one of revenue, sad
therefore ought to have been previously submitted to
Parliament as a measure of that nature.
Mr. LUSHINOTON contended that the Bill amid
only be called a Bill of Regulation. Its o►ject was
to reduce some duties and to raise others, and it was
useaat as nothing but a measure of relief and regal:dos.
After some further conversation in which Me. 0.1.1 s•
FELL, Mr. BANAL, Mr. 11111116111 T, Or. LCIIIIIINO7OIIC,
and Mr. Slaneautr participated, the Petitioe was re-
ceived and ordered to be printed.
