‘greater accuracy, obtained a Copy; which he read 
to the House, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 

It is with much satisfaction that I again meet the 
great Council of the Nation assembled in Parlia- 
ment. I am ever anxious to avail Myself of your 
advice and assistance, and I rejoice that the present 
state of public affairs, both at home and abroad, is 
such as to permit you to proceed without delay or 
interruption to the calm examination of those mea- 
sures which will be submitted to your consideration. 

I continue to receive from My Allies, and generally 
from all Foreign Powers, assurances of their unal- 
tered desire to cultivate with Me those friendly rela- 
tions which it is equally My wish to maintain with 
them; and the intimate union which happily sub- 
sists between this Country and France is a pledge to 
Europe of the continuance of the general Peace. 

Desirous on all occasions to use My friendly en- 
deavours to remove causes of disagreement between 
other powers, I have offered My mediation in order 
to compose the difference which has arisen between 
France and the United States. This offer has been 
accepted by the King of the French. The answer 
of the President of the United States has not yet 
been received ; but I entertain a confident hope that 
a misunderstanding between two Nations so en- 
lightened and high-minded wili be settled in a 
manner satisfactory to the feelings and consistent 
with the honour of both. 

I have still to lament the continuance of the Civil 
Contest in the Northern Provinces of Spain. The 
measures which I have taken, and the engagements 
into which I have entered, sufficiently prove My deep 
anxiety for its termination; and the prudent and 
vigorous conduct of the present Government of 
Spain inspires Me with the hope that the authority 
of the Queen will soon be established in every part 
of her dominions ; and that the Spanish Nation, so 
long connected by friendship with Great Britain, 
will again enjoy the blessings of internal tranquillity 
and union. 

I have given directions that there shall be laid 
before you the Treaty which I have concluded with 
the Queen of Spain for the suppression of the Slave 
Trade. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I have directed the Estimates of the Year to be 

aes and laid before you without delay. They 

ave been framed with the strictest regard to a well- 
considered economy. 

The necessity of maintaining the maritime strength 
of the Country, and of giving adequate protection to 
the extended commerce of My Subjects, has occa- 
sioned some increase in the Estimates for the Naval 
branch of the Public Service. 

The state of the Commerce and Manufactures of 
the United Kingdom is highly satisfactory. 

I lament that any class of My Subjects should 
still suffer distress ; and the difficulties which con- 
tinue to be felt in important branches of Agriculture 
may deserve your inquiry, with a view of ascertaining 
whether there are any measures which Parliament 
can advantageously nv i for the alleviation of this 
pressure. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I have not yet received the further Report of the 
Commission appointed to consider the state of the 
several Dioceses of England and Wales; but I have 
reason to believe that their recommendations upon 
most of the important subjects submitted to them 
are nearly prepared. They shall be laid before you 
without delay, and you will direct your early atten- 
tion to the Ecclesiastical Establishment, with the 
intention of rendering it more efficient for the holy 
purposes for which it has been instituted. 

Another subject which will naturally occupy you 
is the state of the Tithe in England and Wales ; and

a measure will be submitted to you, having for its 
end the rendering this mode of providing for the 
Clergy more fixed and certain, and calculated to 
relieve it from that fluctuation and those objections 
to which it has hitherto been subject. 

The principles of toleration by which I have been 
invariably guided must render Me desirous of re- 
moving any cause of offence or trouble to the con- 
sciences of any portion of My Subjects; and I am 
therefore anxious that you should consider whether 
measures may not be framed which, whilst they 
remedy any grievances which affect those who dis- 
sent from the doctrine or discipline of the Esta- 
blished Church, will also be of general advantage to 
the whole body of the Community. 

The speedy and satisfactory administration of 
Justice is the first and most sacred duty of a Sove- 
reign ; and | earnestly recommend you to consider 
whether better provision may not be made for this 
great purpose in some of the ye ers of the Law; 
and more particularly in the Court of Chancery. 

I trust that you will be able to effect a just settle- 
ment of the question of Tithe in Jreland upon such 
principles as will tend at length to establish har- 
mony and peace in that Country. 

You are already in possession of the Report of 
the Commission appointed to inquire into the state 
of the Municipal Corporations in Jreland; and I 
entertain a hope that it will be in your power to 
apply to any defects and evils which may have been 
shown to exist in those institutions a remedy founded 
upon the same principles as those of the Acts which 
have already passed for England and Scotland. 

A further Report of the Commission of Inquiry 
into the condition of the poorer classes of My Sub- 
jects in Ireland will speedily be laid before you. 
You will approach this subject with the caution due 
to its importance and difficulty ; and the experience 
of the salutary effects already produced by the Act 
for the Amendment of the Laws relating to the 
Poor in England and Wales may in many respects 
assist your deliberations. 

I rely upon your prudence and wisdom, and upon 
your determination to maintain, as well as to amend, 
the Laws and Institutions of the Country; and I 
commit these questions of domestic policy, to which 
I have deemed it My duty to direct your attention, 
into your hands, persuaded that you will so treat 
them as to increase the happiness and prosperity, 
by promoting the religion and morality, of My 
People. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- Motion for 
posed, That an humble Address be presented to His Address. 


Majesty, to express to His Majesty the humble 
Thanks of this onse for His Majesty’s most gracious 
Speech from the Throne: 

To acknowledge with thankfulness the expression 
of the satisfaction with which His Majesty again 
meets the great Council of the Nation assembled in 
Parliament, and of His Majesty’s anxiety to avail 
Himself of our advice and assistance, and to assure 
His Majesty that we also rejoice that the present 
state of public affairs, both at home and abroad, is 
such as to permit us to proceed without delay or 
interruption to the calm examination of those mea- 
sures which will be submitted to our consideration : 

To assure His Majesty that we have learned with 
much satisfaction that His Majesty continues to 
receive from His Allies, and generally from all Fo- 
reign Powers, assurances of their unaltered desire to 
cultivate with His Majesty those friendly relations 
which it is equally His wish to maintain with them ; 
and to express our conviction that the intimate 
union which happily subsists between this Country 
and France isa pledge to Europe of the continuance 
of the general Peace : 

That we are much gratified to be informed, that 
His Majesty, desirous on all occasions to remove 
causes of disagreement between other Powers, has 


offered 


6 Wit. IV. 


offered His mediation in order to compose the dif- 
ference which has arisen between France and the 
United States, and that this offer has been accepted 
by the King of the French, while the answer of the 
President of the United States has not yet been 
received ; and that we participate in the confident 
hope entertained by His Majesty, that a misunder- 
standing between two Nations so enlightened and 
high minded will be settled in a manner satisfactory 
to the feelings and consistent with the honour of 
both : 

That we are deeply concerned that His Majesty 
has still to lament the continuance of the Civil Con- 
test in the Northern Provinces of Spain; that we 
are persuaded that the measures which His Majesty 
has taken, and the engagements into which His 
Majesty has entered, sufficiently prove His Majesty’s 
deep anxiety for its termination ; and that we rejoice 
that the prudent and vigorous conduct of the present 
Government of Spain inspires His Majesty with the 
hope that the authority of the Queen will soon be 
established in every part of her Dominions; and 
that the Spanish Nation, so long connected by 
friendship with Great Britain, will again enjoy the 
blessings of internal tranquillity and union : 

To acknowledge His Majesty’s goodness in having 
given directions that the Treaty which His Majesty 
has concluded with the Queen of Spain for the sup- 
pression of the Slave Trade should be laid before us : 

To convey to His Majesty our Thanks for having 
directed the Estimates for the Year to be prepared 
and to be laid before us without delay, and for His 
Majesty’s gracious assurance that they have been 
framed with the strictest regard to a well-considered 
economy : 

To express our acknowledgment to His Majesty 
for informing us that the necessity of maintaining 
the Maritime strergth of the Country, and of giving 
adequate protection to the extended Commerce of 
His Majesty’s Subjects, has occasioned some in- 
crease in the Estimates for the Naval branch of the 
Public Service : 

Humbly to acquaint His Majesty that it is grati- 
fying to us to learn that the state of the Commerce 
and Manufactures of the United Kingdom is highly 
satisfactory : 

That, in common with His Majesty, we lament 
that any class of His Subjects should still suffer 
distress ; and that we concur with His Majesty, that 
the difficulties which continue to be felt in im- 

ortant branches of Agriculture may deserve our 
inquiry, with a view of ascertaining whether there are 
any measures which Parliament can advantageously 
adopt for the alleviation of this pressure : 

o thank His Majesty for informing us that He 
has not yet received the further Report of the Com- 
mission appointed to consider the state of the several 
Dioceses of England and Wales, but that His Ma- 
jesty has reason to believe that their recommenda- 
tions upon most of the important subjects submitted 
to them are nearly prepared, and that they shall be 
laid before us without delay; and to assure His 
Majesty that we will direct our early attention to 
the Ecclesiastical Establishment, with the intention 
of rendering it more efficient for the holy purposes 
for which it has been instituted : 

That we shall also be ready to direct our attention 
to the state of Tithe in England and Wales; and to 
consider the measure which will be submitted to us, 
having for its end the rendering this mode of pro- 
viding for the Clergy more fixed and certain, and 
calculated to relieve it from that fluctuation and 
from those objections to which it has hitherto been 
subject : 

o express to His Majesty our dutiful acknow- 
ledgments of the assurance that the principles of 
toleration by which His Majesty has been invariably 
guided, render His Majesty desirous of removing 


any cause of offence or trouble to the consciences

of any portion of His Subjects; and to acquaint 
His Majesty that we ‘shall consider whether 
measures may not be framed which, whilst they 
remedy any grievances which affect. those who dis- 
sent from the doctrine or discipline of the Esta- 
blished Church, will also be of general advantage to 
the whole body of the community : 

That we entirely participate in the opinion -ex- 

 owranen by His Majesty, that the speedy and satis- 
actory administration of Justice is the first and 
most sacred duty of a Sovereign ; and. that we will 
attend to His Majesty’s earnest recommendation, by 
considering whether better provision may not be 
made for this great purpose in some of the depart- . . 
ments of the Law, and more particularly in the 
Court of Chancery : 

That we trust that we shall be able to effect a just 
settlement of the question of Tithe in Ireland upon 
such principles as will tend at length to establish 
harmony and peace in that Country : 

To assure His Majesty, that, being already in pos- 
session of the Report of the Commission appointed 
to inquire into the state of the Municipal 4 vse 
tions in Ireland, we partake of the hope entertained 
by His Majesty, that it will be in our power to apply 
to any defects and evils which may have been 
shown to exist in these institutions a remedy founded 
upon the same principles as those of the Acts which 
have been already passed for England and Scotland: 

To thank His Majesty for the information that a 
further Report of the Commission of Inquiry into 
the condition of the poorer classes of His Majesty’s 
Subjects in Ireland will speedily be laid before us ;

and difficulty ; and that we feel that the experience 
of the salutary effects already produced by the Act 
for the Amendment of the Laws relating to the Poor 
in England and Wales may in many respects assist 
our deliberations : 

To express to His Majesty that His Majesty may 
securely rely upon our determination to maintain, as 
well as to amend, the Laws and Institutions of the 
Country ; and that we receive these questions of 
domestic policy, to which His Majesty has deemed 
it His duty to direct our attention, with the firm 
intention of so treating them as to increase the hap- 
piness and ey by promoting the religion 
and morality, of His Majesty’s People. 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, in the last paragraph but two, by leaving 
out from the word “ Ireland” to the end of the 
paragraph, in order to add the words, “ we will pro- 
“ceed without delay to the consideration of any 
“ defects and evils which may have been proved to 
“ exist in those institutions, for the purpose of ap- 
“ plying such remedies as may obviate all just cause 
“of complaint, and insure the impartial adminis- 
“ tration of justice,” instead thereof. 

And the Question being put, That the words pro- 
posed to be left out stand part of the Question ; 

The House divided. 

The Noes went forth.

an Address accordmgly; and the same was read ; 
as followeth : 


Most gracious Sovereign, 

We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal Sub- 
jects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, beg 
leave to return Your Majesty our humble Thanks for 
Your most gracious Speech from the Throne. 

We acknowledge with thankfulness the expression 
of the satisfaction with which Your Majesty again 
meets the great Council of the Nation assembled in 
Parliament, and of Your Majesty’s anxiety to avail 
Yourself of our advice and assistance ; and we assure 
Your Majesty, we also rejoice that the present state 
of public affairs, both at home and abroad, is such 
as to permit us to proceed without delay or interrup- 
tion to the calm examination of those measures 
which will be submitted to our consideration. 

We assure Your Majesty we have learned with 
much satisfaction, that Your Majesty continues to 
receive from Your Allies, and generally from all 
Foreign Powers, assurances of their unaltered desire 
to cultivate with Your Majesty those friendly rela- 
tions which it is equally Your Majesty’s wish to 
maintain with them, and we are convinced that the 
intimate union which happily subsists between this 
Country and France, is a pledge to Europe of the 
continuance of the general Peace. 

We are much gratified to be informed that Your 
Majesty, desirous on all occasions to remove causes 
of disagreement between other Powers, has offered 
Your mediation in order to compose the difference 
which has arisen between France and the United 
States, and that this offer has been accepted by the 
King of the French, while the answer of the Pre- 
sident of the United States has not yet been received ; 
and we participate in the confident hope entertained 
by Your Majesty, that a misunderstanding between 
two Nations so enlightened and high-minded, will 
be settled in a manner satisfactory to the feelings 
and consistent with the honour of both. 

We are deeply concerned that Your Majesty has 
still to lament the continuance of the Civil Contest 
in the Northern Provinces of Spain, and feel per- 
suaded that the measures which Your Majesty has 
taken, and the engagements into which Your Ma- 
jesty has entered, sufficiently prove Your Majesty’s 
deep anxiety for its termination ; we rejoice that the 
prudent pre vigorous conduct of the present Govern- 
ment of Spain inspires Your Majesty with the hope 
that the authority of the Queen will soon be esta- 
blished in every part of her Dominions, and that the 
Spanish Nation, so long connected by friendship with 
Great Britain, will again enjoy the blessings of 
internal tranquillity and union. 

We humbly acknowledge Your Majesty’s good- 
ness in having given directions that the Treaty which 
Your Majesty has concluded with the Queen of 
Spain, for the suppression of the Slave Trade, should 
be laid before us. 

We beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our 
Thanks for having directed the Estimates for the 
Year to be prepared, and to be laid before us, without 
delay, and for Your Majesty’s gracious assurance 
that they have been framed with the strictest regard 
tc a well-considered economy. 

We desire to express our acknowledgment to Your 
Majesty for informing us, that the necessity of main- 
taining the Maritime strength of the Country, and 
of giving adequate protection to the extended Com- 
merce of Your Majesty’s Subjects, has occasioned 
some increase in the Estimates for the Naval Branch 
of the Public Service. 

We humbly acquaint Your Majesty, that it is 
gratifying to us to learn that the state of the Com- 
merce and Manufactures of the United Kingdom is 
highly satisfactory. r 

In common with Your Majesty, we lament that 
any class of Your Majesty’s Subjects should still 


A, 1836, 


suffer distress; and we concur with Your Majesty, 
that the difficulties which continue to be felt in im- 
portant branches of Agriculture may deserve our 
inquiry, with a view of ascertaining whether there 
are any measures which Parliament can advan- 
tageously adopt for the alleviation of this pressure. 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
Your Majesty has not yet received the further Report 
of the Commission appointed to consider the state 
of the several Dioceses of England and Wales; but 
that Your Majesty has reason to believe, that their 
recommendations upon most of the important sub- 
jects submitted to them are nearly prepared, and 
that they will be laid before us without delay; and 
we assure Your Majesty that we will direct our earl 
attention to the Ecclesiastical Establishment, wit 
the intention of rendering it more efficient for the 
holy purposes for which it has been instituted. 

We shall also be ready to direct our attention to 
the state of Tithe in England and Wales, and to con- 
sider the measure which will be submitted to us, 
having for its end the rendering this mode of pro- 
viding for the Clergy more fixed and certain, and 
calculated to relieve it from that fluctuation, and 
from those objections, to which it has hitherto been 
subject. 

We gratefully express to Your Majesty our duti- 
ful acknowledgments for the assurance, that the 
principles of toleration, by which Your Majesty has 
been invariably guided, render Your Majesty de- 
sirous of removing any cause of offence or trouble to 
the consciences of any portion of Your Majesty’s 
Subjects; and we assure Your Majesty we will 
consider whether measures may not be framed, 
which, whilst they remedy any grievances which 
aflect those who dissent from the doctrine or discipline 
of the Established Church, will also be of general 
advantage to the whole body of the community. 

We entirely participate in the opinion expressed 
by Your Majesty, that the speedy and satisfactory 
administration of justice is the first and most sacred 
duty of a Sovereign, and we will attend to Your 
Majesty’s earnest recommendation, by considering 
whether better provision may not be made for this 
pet purpose in some of the departments of the 

aw, and more particularly in the Court of Chancery. 

We trust that we shall be able to effect a just 
settlement of the question of Tithe in Jreland, upon 
such principles as will tend at length to establish 
harmony and peace in that country. 

We de assure Your Majesty, that being 
already in possession of the Report of the Commis- 
sion appointed to inquire into the state of the Muni- 
cipal Corporations m Ireland, we partake of the 
hope entertained by Your Majesty, that it will be 
in our power to apply to any defects and evils which 
may have been shown to exist in these institutions, 
a remedy founded upon the same principles as 
those of the Acts which have been already passed 
for England and Scotland. 

We thank Your Majesty for the information, that 
a further Report of the Commission of Inquiry into 
the condition of the poorer classes of Your Majesty’s 
Subjects in Ireland, will speedily be laid before us, 
and we assure Your Majesty that we shall approach 
this subject with the caution due to its importance 
and difficulty, and that we feel that the experience 
of the salutary effects already produced by the Act 
for the amendment of the Laws relating to the Poor 
in England and Wales, may in many respects assist 
our deliberations. 

Your Majesty may securely rely upon our deter- 
mination to maintain as well as to amend the Laws 
and Institutions of the Country; and we receive 
these questions of domestic policy, to which Your 
Majesty has deemed it Your duty to direct our 
attention, with the firm intention of so treating them, 
as to increase the happiness and prosperity, by pro- 
moting the religion and morality, of Yous Majesty’s 
People.

A Petition of Freeholders, Electors of the county 
of Carlow, complaining of certain transactions alleged 
to have taken place between Daniel O’ Connell, Es- 
quire, a Member of this House, and Alexander 
Raphael, Esquire, late a Member of this House, for 
procuring the Return of the said Alexander Raphael, 
Esquire, for the said county, was offered to be 
presented ; 

And Mr. O’ Connell, being in his place, the said 
Petition was presented, and read ; setting forth, That 
from various statements and letters lately published, 
bearing respectively the signatures of Alexander 
Raphael, Esquire, late Sitting Member for the said 
county of Carlow, and of Daniel O’ Connell, Esquire, 
now Sitting Member for the city of Dublin, it appears 
that shortly before the last Election for the said 
county of Carlow, a certain agreement or traffic was 
set on foot between the said Daniel O’ Connell and 
Alexander Raphael, whereby the said Daniel O’ Con- 
nell contracted that he would procure, or endeavour 
to procure, the Return of the said Alexander Raphael 
to serve in Parliament for the said county of Carlow, 
in consideration of a concurrent engagement by the 
said Alexander Raphael, to pay two sums of one 
thousand pounds each, the first of which sums was 
by the terms of the said agreement or traflic to be paid 
absolutely and entirely for being nominated as Can- 
didate, and the second of which sums was to be paid 
only in the event of the said Alexander Raphael 
being returned as Member; that the said traflic 
or agreement was represented by the said Daniel 
O’Connell to the said Alexander Raphael as a 
“ safe speculation,” and was concluded upon and 
carried into effect by both parties accordingly ; that, 
in pursuance thereof, and before the said Election, 
the said first sum of one thousand pounds was placed 
by the said Alexander Raphael for the use of the said 
Daniel O’ Connell, in the lrands of the said Alexander 
Raphael's solicitor, from whom the said Daniel 
O’ Connell, before the said Election, received the said 
first sum of one thousand pounds by his son John 
O’ Connell, Esquire, acting on the behalf and with 
the authority of him the said Daniel O’ Connell; 
that in further pursuance and fulfilment of the said 
agreement, traffic or speculation, a printed address 
was extensively circulated among the Electors of the 
said county immediately before the said last Elec- 
tion, bearing the signature of the said Daniel O’ Con- 
nell, and introducing and recommending to the said 
electors the said Alexander Raphael, who was then 
a total stranger to the said county, as a Candidate 
for the representation thereof, together with Di- 
cholas Aylward Vigors, Esquire ; that, at the said 
Election then ensuing, the said Alexander Raphael 


11° Februari. 





A. 1836. 


and Nicholas Aylward Vigors were returned for the 
said county against the two opposing Candidates, 
Colonel Henry Bruen and Thomas Kavanagh, Es- 
quire ; that after the said Return of the said Alex- 
ander Raphael, the said second sum of one thousand 
pounds was, in further pursuance and fulfilment of 
the said agreement, traffic or speculation, placed by 
the said Alexander Raphael for the use of the said 
Daniel O’ Connell in the hands of the said Alexander 
Raphael's solicitor, from whom the said Daniel 
O’ Connell received the said second sum of one thou- 
sand pounds by his son, the said John O' Connell, 
Esquire, acting on the behalf and with the authority 
of him the said Daniel O’ Connell; that a Petition 
was presented to the House against the said Return 
of the said Alexander Raphael and Nicholas A. 
Vigors, and that the ballot for a Committee of the 
House to try the validity of the said Return took 
place on the same afternoon on which the said second 
sum of one thousand pounds had been so received 
in such Return by the said John O’ Connell for the 
use of his father the said Daniel O’ Connell; and 
that the said second thousand pounds having been 
so received in respect of such Return, the said John 
O’ Connell and Daniel O’ Connell both attended the 
ballot for the Committee of the House, by which the 
validity of the said Return was to be tried, and the 
said John O’ Connell was in fact ballotted as a Mem- 
ber to serve on the said Committee, and suffered to 
remain on the list of the said Committee as finally 
reduced, and was sworn at the table of the House, 
“ well and truly to try the matter of the Petition 
referred to the said Committee, and a true judgment 
to give according to the evidence ;” the Petitioners 
submit to the House, that the said transactions were 
in plain violation of the rights of the Petitioners as 
electors of the county of Carlow, no less than of the 
privilege of the House ; and they humbly pray, That 
the House will be pleased to inquire into the cireum- 
stances thereof, and if the same shall be proved, to 
take such proceedings against the offenders or offender 
as to the House in its discretion shall seem meet. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be taken into con- 
sideration upon Tuesday next. 

Ordered, That the Petition be printed. 

A Petition of Inhabitants of Bath, friends to 
the purity of Election and enemies of corruption, 
was also presented, and read; setting forth, That 
certain recent disclosures have been made by 
Alexander Raphael, Esquire, of Great Stanhope- 
street, London, whence it was but too probable 
that, after the efforts of a great people to free 
their representative system from corruption and un- 
lawful influence, a traftic connected with the Irish 
portion of the representation has of late been car- 
ried on, by one or more Members of the House, 
whereby the interest and influence of an individual 
with certain bodies of Jrish electors, has been ex- 
pressly bargained to a Candidate or Candidates for 
a tixed price in money, to be paid to the said indi- 
vidual, in gross violation of the privileges of Parlia- 
ment, and of that integrity of election which it was 
one of the main objects of the late Reforms to insure; 
that, in particular, it appears from the said disclo- 
sures that, shortly before the last Election for the 
county of Carlow, an offer-was made by Daniel 
O’ Connell, Esquire, a Member of the House, to the 
said Alexander Raphael, to bring forward the said 
Alexander Raphael as a Candidate at the said then 
approaching Election, on terms of pecuniary pay- 
ment to him the said Daniel O’ Connell, which terms 
the said Daniel O’ Connell then represented to be 
the safest speculation he was ever likely to hear of, 
namely, that the said Alexander Raphael should, at 
all events and absolutely, pay to the use of him the 
said Daniel O’ Connell one thousand pounds, for his 
the said Alexander Raphael’s nomination as a Can- 
didate, whether there should be any serious contest 
or not, and one thousand pounds more in the event 
of the said Alexander Raphael's being returned ; that 

the 











6 Wit. IV. 


the said Alexander Raphael, whom the said Daniel 
O’ Connell thus, in consideration of the said two sums, 
engaged to recommend to the electors of Carlow, 
was not only a perfect stranger to that country, but 
had been described to the said Daniel O’ Connell 
himself, who was personally little acquainted with 
him, as “ a faithless creature, with whom no person 
ever had a dealing without being sorry for it ;”” that 
nevertheless the said bargain proceeded, and was 
concluded on the terms of pecuniary payment above 
mentioned ; that, in the execution thereof, the first 
sum of one thousand pounds was paid by the said 
Alexander Raphael before the Election to the use of 
the said Daniel O’ Connell, and received on the 10th 
of June last by his son John O’Connell, Esquire, 
also a Member of the House, on the part and by the 
direction of the said Daniel O’ Connell, to the full 
amount, although at that time the said Daniel 
O’ Connell had expressed to the said Alexander 
Raphael, that he the said Daniel O’ Connell “ doubted 
whether there would be more than the show of a 
contest ;” that the said Alexander Raphael was 
thereupon proposed and recommended to the electors 
of the county of Carlow in a published letter or 
address to them from the said Daniel O’ Connell ; 
that the said Alexander Raphael was returned as 
duly elected; that the further sum of one thousand 
pounds was shortly afterwards paid by him to the 
use of the said Daniel O’ Connell, and was on the 
28th day of July last received by the said John 
O’ Connell on the part and by the direction of the 
said Daniel O’ Connell; that the criminality of the 
traffic and transactions above stated is, if possible, 
aggravated by the circumstances that the said Daniel 
O’ Connell, who appears to be the principal conductor 
thereof, is one of those professed reformers who ap- 
peared to be the most zealous in the cause of Par- 
liamentary purity, and who himself took the keenest 
part against the old system of boroughmongering, 
and was particularly strenuous in his exertions to ex- 
pose and punish the malpractices alleged to have been 
committed at a recent Election at Ipswich; that 
although the said Daniel O’ Connell has complained 
with acrimony of the publication of the letters be- 
tween himself and the said Alexander Raphael con- 
taining evidence of the traffic hereinbefore alleged, 
the Petitioners humbly insist that such publication 


ought to be carried yet further by the production of 


another letter not set forth among those which the 
said Alexander Raphael has given to the world, 
being a letter from the said Daniel O’ Connell to the 
said Alexander Raphael, and described by the said 


Alexander Raphael as conveying an intimation not 


only of the desire, but of the power of the said 


Daniel O’ Connell, to compensate the said Alexander 
Raphael for the expected loss of his Seat, upon 


Petition, by some other arrangement, the nature and 


lawfulness whereof should be the subject of strict 


inquiry ; the Petitioners, therefore, anxious that the 
principles of Reform be fully and fairly carried into 


effect in all cases, and against all offenders alike, do 
humbly pray the House to inquire strictly into the cir- 
cumstances of the aforesaid transactions, including 


the contents of the said unpublished letter, and to take 


such measures as the House shall see fit, for protect- 
ing the rights of Parliamentary Election, and bringing 
to punishment all persons, of whatever political party, 


who may be found guilty of violating the same. 


Ordered, That the said Petition be taken into 


consideration upon Tuesday next. 
Ordered, That the Petition be printed.

mittee of Supply; 
Resolved, That this House will, upon Monday 
next, resolve itself into the said Committee. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- Orange 
posed, That it is the opinion of this House, That Societies. 


Orangeism has been productive of the most baneful 
effects upon the character and administration of 
public justice in Lreland; that its prevalence in the 
Constabulary and Peace-preservation Forces and 
Yeomanry Corps of that Country has led individual 
members, as well as large bodies of the above de- 
scriptions of force, to the gross neglect and viola- 
tion of their public duty, and to the open, daring 
and lawless resistance of the Magistracy of the Exe- 
cutive Government, on various occasions ; that it 
has entailed discord and strife amongst a people 
whose interest as well as duty it is to live in peace 
and harmony amongst one another ; that the syste- 
matic and surreptitious introduction of Orangeism 
into every branch of the military service, into almost 
every part of the Empire, in direct violation of orders 
issued in 1822 and 1829, by the Commander-in- 
Chief of His Majesty’s Forces, and the absolute 
power and control vested in his Royal Highness 
Lirnest Duke of Cumberland, by its governing 
bodies, the Grand Lodges of England and Jreland, 
together with the rank, station, influence and num- 
ber of that formidable, yet secret confederacy, are 
well calculated to create serious apprehensions in 
the minds of all His Majesty’s loyal subjects, and 
demand the adoption of the most speedy and effec- 
tual measures for the suppression of a system in- 
compatible with the peace and happiness of the 
people of Jreland, with just and impartial Govern- 
ment, and pregnant with danger to the rightful 
succession to the Throne and the free institutions of 
this Empire :—And a Debate arising thereupon ; 
Ordered, That the Debate be adjourned till Tues- 
day, the 23d day of this instant February. . 


Ordered, That there be laid before this House, Army. 


a Return of the Number of Officers of each Rank 
in His Majesty’s regular Army, not being on full Pay, 
who have without their consent been struck out of the 
Army List, in each of the years since 1815 ; stating 
also, the Number of each Rank who have been 
restored to the Service susequently to such depri- 
vation. 


A Motion was made, and the Question was pro- Railroad Bill 


posed, That a Select Committee be appointed to

A Petition of Members of the Calcutta Trade 
Association, was presented, and read ; setting forth, 
That the Petitioners are members of a Society for 
several years past established in Calcutta, under the 
name of “The Calcutta Trade Association,” for the 
purpose of watching over the interests of the trade 
of Calcutta; that the Petitioners are deeply in- 
terested in the culture and export of Sugar, Tobacco, 
Coffee, Silk, Cotton, and other articles of produce 
suited to the home markets; that the Petitioners 
have found, from long experience, that the export 
trade of Calcutta,.as well as the manufacturing and 
agricultural interests of Bengal, is very seriously 
and injuriously limited, while the interests of Eng- 
land are not promoted by the Duties to which 
several of the above-mentioned articles are subjected 
on their exportation into Great Britain in excess, 
to the Duties which are levied on the same articles 
when imported from any British possession in 
America and the Mauritius; the Duties to which 
the Petitioners refer, and to which they respectfully 
but earnestly solicit the attention of the House, are 
the imposition of 8s. the cwt. on Sugar, the growth, 
produce or manufacture of any British possession 
within the limits of the Hast India Company’s 
Charter, and imported from thence, beyond the 
amount of Duty on the same articles from the West 
Indies and the Mauritius, which is charged only at 
the rate of 24s. the cwt., whilst that from the Kast 
Indian possessions is charged at the rate of 32s. 
the cwt.; the additional Duty of 6s. the gallon on 
the British East Indian Rum, that of the West 
Indies being subject to a Duty of only 9s. the 
gallon, while that of the East Indies is subject to 
a Duty of 15s. the gallon; the additional Duty of 
3d. the pound on Tobacco and Coffee from this 
country beyond what is charged upon the same 
articles from the West Indies ; while it appears that 
British India is charged the same rate of Duty on 
raw Silk as foreign countries not British posses- 
sions; it is really charged. 25 per centum more 
because the Duty is not ad valorem, but fixed on 
each pound of Silk, of whatever quality, and Italian, 
French and Chinese Silks are on the average 25 per 
centum superior to East Indian; that Silk piece 
goods of British manufacture are admitted into 
Calcutta on a Duty of two-and-a-half per centum, 
while similar Silk piece goods of British Indian 
manufacture, are chargeable and charged with a 
Duty of 20 per centum on importation into Great 
Britain; that on Cotton piece goods manufactured 
in British India, an import Duty is charged in 
Great Britain of 10 per centum, while similar Cotton 
piece goods of British manufacture are admitted 
mito Calcutta on a Duty of two-and-a-half per 
centum ; in this their grave representation, involving 
vast interests on both sides, the Petitioners would 
not presume and would not wish to use language 
that might seem addressed to the feelings rather 
than to the reason of Parliament; the Petitioners 
would desire to take the best and highest ground,

that of reciprocal advantage ; but they cannot re- 
frain from remarking, that while the Mother Country 
blights the agricultural and manufacturing energies 
of Calcutta, by the imposition of excessive Duties 
on Sugar, Coffee, Rum, Silk and Cotton, and 
other articles, as specified in a Schedule which 
accompanies the Petition, Jndia is forced to bribe 
British manufactures into competition with its own

plaining of alleged illegal, unconstitutional and cor- 
rupt conduct of the Petitioner, in concert with 
Daniel O’ Connell, Esquire (a Member of the House) 
and Alexander Raphael, and other individuals, pray- 
ing that the House will be pleased to inquire strictly 
into the circumstances thereof, and to bring to pu- 
nishment all persons whom the House may, on in- 
quiry, deem guilty of illegal or unconstitutional acts ; 
that the Petitioner has read the copies of such Peti- 
tions in the printed: Votes of the ag that the 
Petitioner respectfully denies the truth of the charges 
and imputations conveyed in these Petitions, alleg- 
ing illegal and unconstitutional conduct, both as 
respects himself and the said Daniel O’ Connell and 
the independent electors of the county of Carlow ; 
that the money transactions alluded to in the said 
Petitions were, as the Petitioner avers and is ad- 
vised, strictly legal, constitutional and honourable ; 
that the great majority of the House is accustomed 
to make similar money arrangements in respect of 
their Seats in the Commons’ House of Parliament ; 
that the said Daniel O’ Connell, Esquire, at the re- 
quest of Alexander Raphael, aud with the consent 
of the Petitioner, was the individual with whom the 
monies referred to were lodged by mutual consent ; 
that the said Daniel O’ Connell duly and honourably 
accounted for such monies with the Petitioner, in no 
ways interfering with the appropriation thereof, that 
no part of such monies was illegally or unconsti- 
tutionally expended, and that the Petitioner was not 
directly or indirectly concerned by himself or his 
agents or partisans in any mal-practices whatever 
in relation to the Representation of the said county 
of Carlow, or in relation to the Commons’ Com- 
mittees thereon; that the Petitioner and his family 
are extensive Protestant landed proprietors in the 
counties of Carlow, Queen’s County,and Wexford, and 
that the Petitioner represented the county town of

dred and thirty-two, one thousand eight hundred and 
thirty-three, and one thousand eight hundred and 
thirty-four; that the Petitioner, on the dissolution

hundred and thirty-four, was an unsuccessful Can- 
didate for the Borough of Carlow, but in June last 
the Petitioner, on the unseating of Messrs. Bruen 
and Kavanagh, was called upon by the leading Re- 
formers of the county to become a Candidate for the 
Representation of that county, and the Petitioner 
thereupon was a Candidate, and was returned by a 
majority of fifty-seven votes; that Alexander Raphael 
was returned at the same contest in conjunction with 
the Petitioner, by a majority of fifty-six votes; that 
the said Henry Bruen and Thomas Kavanagh were 
the Candidates on the Tory or “ Conservative” in- 
terest opposed to the Petitioner and the said Alez- 
ander Raphael; that the said Henry Bruen and 
Thomas Kavanagh, on a Petition of Carlow County 
electors against the Return of the Petitioner and 
the said Alexander Raphael, were declared by the 
Committee of the House the Members for the said 
County, in lieu of the Petitioner and the said Alex- 
ander Raphael; that the Petitioner, by himself 
and his agents, is anxious to be rigidly examined 
at the Bar of the House, or by a Select Com- 
mittee, on all matters, without reserve, relating to 
his said election matters, and without limitation 
as to time or circumstance; that the Petitioner 
is anxious and willing to produce to the House 
all accounts, papers and documents, vouchers, and 
any other matters or things whatsoever, without 
reserve, directly or indirectly relating to Elections 
or Election Committees of the County of Carlow, 
and directly or indirectly relating to the matters 
in the said Petition reflecting on the personal or 
political conduct of the Petitioner, or other parties; 
that the Petitioner humbly and respectfully repre- 
sents to the House, that the House cannot full 

or impartially investigate the merits of the said Pe- 
titions without a full and strict investigation into all 
the peculiar circumstances of the Carlow Election 
contests in the years one thousand eight hundred 
and thirty-two, and one thousand eight hundred and 
thirty-five; that the circumstances and facts con- 
nected with such Elections will disclose a system of 
unexampled Tory persecution of the Electors, and 
of conspiracy against the freedom and purity of 
Election without parallel in the records of Election 
fraud and oppression, and circumstances imme- 
diately bearing on the merits of the said Petitions ; 
that the evidence before the Carlow Election Com- 
mittee of the House in May one thousand eight hun- 
dred and thirty-five, was never printed, and is gene- 
rally unknown to the House; that the Petitioner begs 
leave to refer the House to that evidence, and to the 
remarkable testimony of the Reverend James Maher, 
of the Borough of Carlow, before the Select Com- 
mittee of the House appointed in the last Session of 
Parliament, “ to consider the most effectual means 
of preventing bribery, corruption and intimidation 
in the election of Members to serve in Parliament,” 
the Petitioner humbly averring, that the said Re- 
verend James Maher is a gentleman of indisputable 
integrity, education, intelligence and local knowledge 
of Carlow County ; that during and subsequently to 
the three last contested Elections for the representa- 
tion of the County of Carlow, videlicet, in December 
one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, and in 
January and June one thousand eight hundred and 
thirty-five, the most scandalous corruption and in- 
human intimidation on the part of the Tory land- 
lords, and of a Peer of Parliament, have prevailed 
in the said county against honest and indefendent, 
but poor electors; that during the last few years 
thousands of the Catholic tenantry and ancient re- 
sident labouring families, by political party sai 
and religious persecution, have been expelled from 


residences and lands, and Protestants substituted in 
their place; that hundreds of widows and orphans 
have been included in this wicked and unchristian 
proscription and persecution; that, by the fear of 
similar persecutions, numbers of the electors have 
been coerced to give their votes for the ba

idates,

didates, who would have otherwise notoriously sup- 
ported the Reform Candidates ; that persecution, by 
the cost and terror of distraints for rent, and other 
legal processes, has been extensively resorted to for 
political and party purposes, and that appalling 
misery, dissensions, heartburnings, and all sorts of 
crime, have been and still are the unhappy c &gt;nse- 
quences of these illegal, unconstitutional, and wicked 
proceedings ; that to inform the House of the extent 
of these dreadful oppressions, partly. perpetrated for 
political and election purposes, the Petitioner inserts 
the following account of expelled and substituted 
families in parts of the said county of Carlow, a 
public account, never yet contradicted as to the acts, 
though the motives have been questioned ; viz. in 
one parish, the parish of Dunleckney, there have been

tioners, and all parties concerned, cannot, in the re- 
spectful opinion of the Petitioner, decide on the

stricted inquiry into all the above facts and circum- 
stances; and praying the House to institute a

Poole Borough. A Motion was made, and the Question was pro- 
posed, That a Select Committee be appointed to 
inquire into the circumstances attending the late 
Election of the Municipal Council of the Borough 
of Poole :—And the said Motion was, with leave of 
the House, withdrawn. 

Poole Borough. A Petition of Burgesses of the Borough of Poole, 
was presented, and read; setting forth, That by 
the Municipal Corporation Act, Poole is placed 
in Schedule (A.), with two wards, six Aldermen, 
and eighteen Councillors ; that one ward is called 
the south-east ward, and the other the north-west 
ward; that the south-east ward list shows one hun- 
dred and sixty-eight burgesses; that the north- 
west ward list shows two hundred and fifteen bur- 
gesses; that by the said Act each ward was to 
elect nine Councillors; that the election of Coun- 
cillors for the said borough took place on the 26th 
day of December last, and that on the 28th the 
Mayor published the names of eighteen Councillors, 
but without the number of votes given to each ; that 
Robert Major and George Ledgard, two of the 
Councillors declared by Robert Slade, the Mayor, 
as having been elected in the south-east ward, were 
not duly elected, being substituted for George Con- 





A. 1836. 


way and Samuel Salter, who ought to have been re- 
turned ; that, at the commencement of the next term 
after the said election, application was made by His 
Majesty’s Attorney General to the Court of King’s 
Bench for rules against the said Robert Major and 
George Ledgard, calling on them to show cause why 
writs in the nature of Quo Warranto should not 
issue against them; that the affidavits filed in sup- 
pe of this application clearly proved that only one 
undred and fifty-nine burgesses polled in that 
ward, of whom eighty-eight voted for Salter, and 
eighty-seven for Conway, Major having only seventy- 
six, and Ledgard only seventy-four ; that the rule 
was made absolute on the 29th day of January last, 
without any cause being shown by the said Major 
and Ledgard ; that, as the law stands, the Petitioners 
are advised of the impossibility of the causes being 
tried before the Summer Assizes, and of the judg- 
ment being obtained before Michaelmas Term ; that 
the Council so unduly returned met on the 31st day 
of December, and elected six Aldermen from a party 
in the borough to which the then Mayor and ies 
Clerk respectively belonged ; that, although Robert 
Henning Parr, the then Town Clerk, was one of the 
principal persons in the Mayor’s party, one Thomas 
Arnold, also of the same party, was, on the 1st day 
of January last, elected Town Clerk; that it is 
understood, and verily believed by the Petitioners, 
that the appointment of Thomas Arnold in the place 
of Robert Minaing Parr, was to enable the latter to 
claim compensation from the borough fund; that 
more than two-thirds of the Council (including the 
Aldermen therein), being of a party of whom Parr 
is one, will, as the Petitioners verily believe, award 
him any compensation, however extravagant; that 
the Petitioners are advised that in such case no 
protest can be made, so as to subject the sum 
awarded to the revision of the Lords of the Trea- 
sury; that besides the appointment of Aldermen, 
every other office has been filled up by men of the 
same party as the Mayor, whilst every person not of 
such party has been removed, without regard to 
respectability or competency ; that the Petitioners 
having been advised that although the election of 
certain Councillors may be set aside, and although 
Aldermen may have been (who without such im- 
proper Return as aforesaid would not have been) 
elected, yet that it will be impossible to set aside 
the election of such Aldermen, and consequently to 
remedy any other intervening evils; in conclusion, 
the Petitioners humbly submit to the House, that 
the existing law of the land is insufficient to apply 
an adequate remedy to the case of the Petitioners, 
and the circumstances in which the borough at large 
is placed by the before-mentioned undue Return; 
and praying the House to take into its serious con- 
sideration the inefficiency (as the Petitioners are 
advised) of the existing laws to apply an adequate 
relief to the evils resulting to the borough of Poole, 
from the undue return of Councillors; and that it 
may please the House to consider it proper, by 
Legislative enactment, to set aside the late Election 
of Councillors, and to annul all subsequent appoint- 
ments and proceedings, and to enable the burgesses 
at large to proceed to a new election, under such 
precautions as shall insure a fair return, or such 
adequate redress as Parliament in its wisdom may 
deem just. 
Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table ; and to be printed. 


Ordered, That there be laid before this House, a Public Works 
Return of all Sums issued for Public Works, under (Irelaud.) 
the Act for the execution and promotion of Public 
Works in Jreland ; with the Names of the Parties to 
whom, and the purposes for which the same were 
issued ; and also, specifying the Securities on which 
such Sums have been lent, and whether any and 
what parts thereof have been repaid, and the Dates 
of the Issues and Re-payments respectively.

county of Waterford, Esquire, and Patrick O' Brien, Esq. and others. 


of Duckspool, in the county of Waterford, Farmer, 
was read; setting forth, ‘That at the late election of 
a Member to serve in Parliament for the Town and 
Borough of Dungarvan, in Ireland, Michael O’ Logh- 
len, of the city of Dublin, Esquire, and John Mathew 
Galwey, of Duckspool, in the county of Waterford, 
F squire, were Candidates to represent the said Town 
and Borough in this present Parliament ; that John 
Hudson, Esquire, was and is Seneschal of the said 
Town and Borough of Dungarvan, and, as such, was 
and acted as Returning Officer at said Election for 
the same ; that the said Election for such Town and 
Borough commenced on Friday the eighteenth day 
of September one thousand eight hundred and thirty 
five, on which day a poll having been demanded, 
the same was granted and forthwith proceeded upon 
by said John Hudson, as such Returning Ofiicer, 
and continued from day to day until Monday the 
twenty-first day of September aforesaid, when the 
same was, as the Petitioners humbly submit, finally, 
but, under the circumstances hereinafter stated, pre- 
maturely and illegally closed ; that there were two 
booths or polling places opened at the said Election, 
pursuant to the Statute, and that, at or about the 
hour of twelve o’clock at noon of said Monda 
the twenty-first day of September aforesaid, both 
the said booths were altogether closed, and the 
doors thereof respectively shut up, and so continued 
for a long space of time, to wit, for the space of two 
hours or thereabouts, when, same having been re- 
opened, the polling re-commenced, and continued 
until at or about the hour of five o’clock of said day, 
when the said Michael O’ Loghlen was by the said John 
Hudson, as such Returning Officer, who acted under 
the influence and advice of the said Michael O’ Logh- 
len, declared duly elected to serve as a Member in 
the present Parliament for said Town and Borough ; 
that there was not on said Monday any riot or 
impediment to prevent the taking the poll in either 
of said booths, or other just cause, either for adjourn- 
ing the said poll or finally closing the said Election ; 
that more than twenty votes were polled in each of 
the said booths on Monday aforesaid, being the 
third day of polling ; that the said Michael O’ Logh- 
len was proposed at said Ejection as a fit and proper 
person to represent the said Town and Borough in 
Parliament, by the Reverend Nicholas Foran, the 
parish priest of the parish of Dungarvan, within 
which parish the said Town and Borough are situate ; 
that the said Nicholas Foran, not only at the 
hustings, but from the altar of the chapel of the said 
town, both on the Sundays preceding, as also upon 
the intervening Sunday pending said Election, ex- 
patiated upon and described the character and con- 
duct of the said John Mathew Galwey, denouncing 
him as an unworthy person to represent the said 
Town and Borough, in a manner, coming from such 
an individual, eminently calculated to lessen him in 
the estimation of the electors, and to deprive him of 
their support, by inducing many of them to vote for 
the said Michael O’Loghlen against him the said 
John Mathew Galwey, who otherwise, if said undue 
means had not been practised, would have voted for 
the said John Mathew Galwey ; that, in furtherance 
of the object and designs of the said Nicholas Foran, 
which were to secure the Election of the said Michael 
O’ Loghlen, he from time to time having attended in 
the said respective booths, placed himself at the 
side allotted to the said Michael O’Loghlen, and 
kK opposite

opposite to that allotted for the voters of said Galvey, 
and then and there, by looks, language and ges- 
tures, directed at the persons who came forward to 
vote for the said John Mathew Galwey, calculated 
to intimidate and prevent, and in fact did intimidate 
and deter them from so voting ; and moreover the 
said Nicholas Foran, in a vociferating manner, 
ordered the bribery oath to be administered to any 
person who should come forward to vote for the 
said John Mathew Galwey, declaring aloud, and in 
a vehement manner, standing as he was on the table 
in one of said booths, that no person would vote for 
the said John Mathew Galwey but a bribed man ; 
that several of the voters who were approaching 
said booths with the intention of voting for said 
John Mathew Galwey, were pulled back and pushed 
aside by Patrick Fogarty, the coadjutor of the said 
Nicholas Foran, and intimidated and _ prevented 
from going up to claim their votes, and from voting 
for the said John Mathew Galwey, who would have 


92° Februara. 





voted for him, but for the interference and conduct | 
of the said Nicholas Foran and the said Patrick | O’Loghlen, at five o’clock the previous evening ; 
Fogarty ; that Thomas Kiely, who acted as Deputy | that, besides the said undue influence hereinbefore 
in one of said booths, affected to prevent the said | stated to have been practised by the said Reverend 


Nicholas Foran from persevering in such illegal 
conduct, nevertheless, either from dread or some 
other cause or reason unknown to Petitioners, he 
took no effectual measures for preventing the same, 
or removing said Nicholas Foran from said Elec- 
tion, who therefore throughout said Election con- 
tinued to use every undue means, by intimidation 
and otherwise, both within and without the booths, 
from the altar, and in other places, to prevent every 
person likely to be influenced by him from voting 
fer said John Mathew Galwey, and by such means 
suceeeded in obliging many of them to vote for the 
said Michael O’ Loghlen; that, besides the aforesaid 
undue influence and intimidation used by the said 
Nicholas Foran within and without the said respec- 
tive booths or polling places during said Election, 
numerous Roman Catholic clergymen, and amongst 
them as well the said Patrick Fogarty as the neigh- 
bouring Roman Catholic clergymen, aided and as- 
sisted him in furtherance of his said unlawful design, 
by denouncing the said John Mathew Galwey from 
the altar, and in the places of divine worship, and by 
denouncing such persons as should vote for the said 
John Mathew Galwey as enemies to their religion, 
which conduct had the eftect of intimidating the 
said electors, and inducing them, as they did, to 
vote for the said Michael O’ Loghlen, who would 
otherwise, if left to themselves, have voted for the 
said John Mathew Galwey; that Petitioners further 
humbly state they are convinced, from the system 
of terror and undue influence exercised and practised 
by the said Roman Catholic clergymen at said 
Election, and particularly by the said Vicholas 
Foran in the booths, no Candidate at said Elec- 
tion, who had not the advantage of their aid, mflu- 
ence and assistance, could have had the most remote 
chance of being returned to sit as a Member of Par- 
liament for the said Town and Borough, in opposition 
to any Candidate who had the benefit thereof ; that, 
by reason of such undue influence and conduct of 
the said Nicholas Foran, aided and abetted by 
several Roman Catholic clergymen, and particularly 
by the said coadjutor the said Patrick Fogarty, a 
colourable majority was had upon said Monday, 
the third day of said Election, by the said Michael 
O’ Loghlen over the said John Mathew Galwey, and 
by reason of such colourable majority the said John 
Hudson, the Returning Officer, in violation of the 
law for regulating Polls at Elections, unduly closed 
the Election, and returned the said Michael O’ Logh- 
len as a fit and proper person to serve in Parliament 
for said Town and Borough ; that at the time the said 
Election was so finally closed on Monday the 
twenty-first day of September aforesaid, being the 
third day of polling, although there were more than 
twenty persons polled in each of said booths on said

A. 1836. 


last-mentioned day, a great number of persons who 
were duly registered, and intended to vote at said 
Election, remained then unpolled, who would have 
polled thereat if said booths had been kept open, as 
by law they ought to have been, on Tuesday the 
twenty-second day of September; and the Petitioners 
most humbly show, that, not suspecting said Elec- 
tion would finally close on the third day thereof, 
several persons, duly qualified by law to vote at 
said Election, would have voted thereat for the said 
John Mathew Galwey, but were, by such conduct as 
aforesaid, deprived of the opportunity of so doing, 
and thereby of exercising their franchise at said 
Election, although they did, on the following day, 
being Tuesday, the fourth day of said Election, 
proceed to tender their vote for the said John Ma- 
thew Galwey, and having informed the said John 
Hudson, as such Returning Officer, of such their 
object and intention, Petitioners were greatly sur- 
prised at being informed that the Election had 
finally closed, in the return of the said Michael 


Nicholas Foran and the Reverend Patrick Fogarty, 
and other clergymen, at the said Election, in fur- 
therance thereof, the said Reverend Patrick Fogarty 
read a letter, which he declared in open Court was 
written by Lord Viscount Melbourne to himself, 
recommending him to use every exertion and influ- 
ence in his power to induce the electors of said Town 
and Borough to vote for the said Michael O’ Loghlen ; 
and moreover the said Patrick Fogarty published 
in the public newspaper a letter purporting to have 
been written by Mr. Anson, Secretary to his Lord- 
ship, dated from his oftice Downing-street, London, 
expressive of his Lordship’s approbation of the exer- 
tions then being used at, and the result of, said 
Election ; all which said influence, so practised by 
said individuals, Petitioners most humbly submit 
were undue interference with the freedom of Elec- 
tion, and tended to secure the undue return of the 
said Michael O’Loghlen, against the legitimate 
rights of the Electors, and of the said John Mathew 
Galwey, who ought to have been, as he would 
otherwise have been, duly elected ; the Petitioners 
therefore most humbly pray, That the House will be 
pleased to take the premises into their consideration, 
and to declare the Election of the said Michael 
O’ Loghlen wholly null and void, and that the said 
John Mathew Galwey may be declared to have been 
the person duly elected, and that he ought to have 
been returned as a Member to serve in this present 
Parliament for the said Town and Borough of Dun- 
garvan, and that the Return of the said Michael 


| O’ Loghien might be set aside, and that the name of 
| the said Michael O’ Loghlen nay be erased from the 


Return, and the name of the said John Mathew 
Galwey substituted therein for the name of the said 
Michael O’ Loghlen, and that such further and other 
relief may be granted in the premises as to the 
House may seem proper. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be taken into 
consideration upon Thursday, the 17th day of 
March next, at three of the clock in the afternoon. 

Ordered, That Mr, Speaker do issue his Warrant 
or Warrants for such persons, papers and records, as 
shall be thought necessary by the several Parties on 
the hearing of the matter of the said Petition.

cient or correct Maps or Plans and Sections of such

Clerk of the Peace of every county, riding or divi- 
sion in or through which such Railway is intended 
to be made; nor do the Plan or Plans which were 
deposited, and which purport to be Plans of the 
above description, describe correctly the line of the 
said Railway, or the lands in or through which the 
same is intended to be made; nor do the Books of 
Reference, deposited with the said Plans, contain cor- 
rect Lists of the Owners, or reputed Owners and Occu- 
piers of such lands respectively, nor do the Sections

praying, That an investigation may be directed to

Mr. Charles Russell reported from the Committee 
on the Petition for the Great Western Railway 
(No. 2.) Bill; That the Standing Orders relative to 
Bills for making Railways, had not been complied 
with; but it appeared to the Committee, that the 
necessity of the intended application to Parliament 
did not arise until long after the period limited b 
the House for the compliance with the Standing 
Orders thereof had elapsed, inasmuch as mutual 
arrangements had been made between the London 
and Birmingham Railway Company and the Great 
Western Railway Company, for the joint use of a 
portion of the line of Railway belonging to the 
former Company, and that they should provide the 
latter with a sufficient portion of land at Camden 
Town and Euston Grove for the purposes of Depot 
and Station Houses for a term of years, whereas it 
was only on Wednesday, the 17th day of this in- 
stant February, that the London and Birmingham

Railway pe ae | declined to carry such agreement 
into effect, but offered, in lieu thereof, a term of onl 
five years in the said lard, which would make it 
wholly unadvisable for the Great Western Railway 
Company to lay out or expend any considerable 
portion of money in forming a junction with such 
Railway; and it further appeared to the Committee, 
that if the delay in the proposed application to Par- 
liament be deferred until another Session, very con- 
siderable loss and inconvenience will arise to the 
public, as it has been estimated that an unavoidable 
delay will occur in opening and using a portion of 
the Great Western Railway, as far as Maidenhead, 
of several months, if such Company be not allowed 
to proceed with their present application ; that it 
further appeared to the Committee, that several con- 
siderable Land-owners on the line of the proposed 
extension had already signified their consent to 
their land being used for the purposes of the said 
extension; and that the Committee had examined 
the matter of the Petition. 

Ordered, That the Report be referred to the Select 
Committee on Standing Orders.

A Petition of the Undertakers of the Navigation 
of the Rivers Aire and Calder, in the city and county 
of York, and Owners and Occupiers of property 
through which the Railway hereinafter referred to 
is proposed to be carried, was presented, and read ; 
taking notice of the application for the orth 
Midland Railway Bill; and setting forth, That the 
measure designed by the said Bill would, if carried 
into effect in the manner contemplated by such 
Bill, most seriously affect the interests of the 
Petitioners, and they therefore strongly object to 
the passing of such Bill in its present form; that 
the Petitioners beg leave to represent that the 
Standing Orders of the House have not been complied 
with by the applicants for the said Bill, inasmuch 
as it appears, upon inspection of the Plans, Sections 
and Books of Reference deposited with the respective 
Ylerks of the Peace for the West Riding of the 
county of York and for the borough of Leeds, and 
in the Private Bill Office, that such Plans do not 
describe the line or course of the said intended Rail- 
way, nor the lands in or through which the same is 
intended to be carried; such Sections do not describe 
the levels ; and such Books of Reference do not show 
to what parties the lands proposed to be taken 
belong, nor by whom the same respectively are 
occupied ; and that the Plans, Sections and Books of 
Reference so deposited with the said Clerks of the 
Peace differ materially from each other in many 
instances, and are not duplicates; that, upon in- 
— of the documents deposited in the Private 

ill Office, it appears upon the face of such docu- 
ments themselves that the Plan, Section and Books 
of Reference there deposited are not duplicates of the 
Plans, Sections or Books of Reference so deposited 
with the said Clerks of the Peace for the West 
Riding of the county of York and for the borough 
of Leeds respectively, and that incorrect descriptions 
are given in all the said Books of Reference of the 
ownership and occupancy of the lands which are 
described upon the said Plans, as well those be- 
longing to some of the Petitioners as those belong- 
ing to other parties ; that it is also manifest, upon 
the face of the documents themselves, that the 
names of many of the owners and occupiers of 
property do not appear in the Lists of Owners and 
Occupiers deposited in the Private Bill Office ; that 
several parties who are owners or occupiers of pro- 
perty intended to be taken for the purposes of the 
said Railway do not appear to have been applied to 
previously to presenting the Petition for the Bill; 
that in several other instances in which it is stated 
that application has been made to the owners and 
occupiers of property, the answers received on the 
occasion of such application being made have not 
been entered in the said Lists; and that in other 
instances the answers which were given upon the 
occasion of such application being made are not 
correctly entered in the said Lists; and that in several 
other respects the Standing Orders of the House 
have not been complied with ; and praying, That they 
may be heard upon their Petition by themselves, 
their agents and witnesses, or that they may have 
such other relief in the premises as to the House 
shall seem meet. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table. 





A. 1836. 


A Petition of the Company of Proprietors of the Bancticter and 


Rochdale Canal, was presented, and read ; taking 
notice of the application for the Manchester and 
Leeds Railway Bill; and setting forth, That the said 
Railway is proposed to cross the Rochdale Canal 
five times, once under and four times over the same ; 
that such frequent crossings are not necessary for 
the formation of the said Railway, and many or 
some of them may be avoided, and the said Railway 
may be effected without so direct and prejudicial an 
interference with the said Rochdale Canal; that it 
is also proposed to make a Tunnel in the said Rail- 
way of one mile and probably two miles in length, 
in part at the side of, and in other part under or at 
least so near the said Canal as to be the same in 
effect as if it passes under the same ; and the 
Petitioners believe that the making of such Tunnel 
will endanger their Canal altogether, and may lay 
the same dry by reason of the porous state of the 
earth at the situation where the said Tunnel is pro- 
posed to be made; that the Petitioners have not had 
time to consider and provide against the said antici- 
pated injuries, and have requested the promoters of 
the said Railway to postpone their application till 
another Session of Parliament, in order that the 
interests of all parties may be considered and pro- 
vided for; that the promoters of the said Railway 
refuse to listen to this reasonable request, and insist 
precipitating the undertaking, although the Peti- 
tioners believe that they, the promoters, are not 
fully and duly prepared for so momentous a mea- 
sure, affecting interests of so great a magnitude and 
importance; that the Petitioners are advised and 
believe that the promoters of the said Railway have 
in many respects omitted to comply with the 
Standing Orders of the House, and particularly in 
the first requisite of lodging Plans and Sections 
with the Clerks of the Peace of the several counties 
through which the said Railway is proposed to pass 
in the true spirit and meaning of the Standing 
Orders of the House, which, as Petitioners conceive, 
requires the Plans and Sections to be lodged for the 
use and advantage of the public; that although a 
plan was lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the 
West Riding of the County of York, at his office in 
Wakefield, on the 30th of November last, by a sur- 
veyor employed by the promoters of the said Rail- 
way, yet the same surveyor, on the morning of the 
1st of December, again obtained possession of the 
said Plan, and remained in possession thereof for 
eight successive days, to the exclusion of the Peti- 
tioners and the public, and the surveyor of the 
Petitioners, in his application for a sight of the said 
Plan from day to day, for eight days after the said 
30th of November, was informed that the said Plan 
was still in the hands and use of the surveyor of 
the promoters of the said Railway; and that the 
Petitioners contend that the Standing Orders of the 
House have been evaded and not complied with ; 
and praying that the Committee on the Petition 
for the said Bill may be revived, for the purpose 
of inquiring into the several matters aforesaid, and 
that the Petitioners may be heard by themselves, 
their agents and witnesses, and that they may 
have such further relief as to the House shall seem 
meet. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table.

taking notice of the said Bill; and setting forth, That 
the Standing Orders of the House have not been 
complied with in respect of the said Bill, nasmuch 
as certain property belonging to Emanuel Alderson,

line of Railway, and numbered on the Plans thereof, 
has been described in the Books of Reference de- 
posited with the Clerks of the Peace for the counties

to other proprietors than the said Emanuel Alderson, 
George Clay, William Mills, Joseph Butterworth and 
Wilbraham Egerton, nor have all the said parties

the Petitioners are unable to determine on which to 
rely as correct, neither are the said Plans and Sections 
duplicates of those deposited in the Private Bill Office 
of the House; and that the said Plans and Sections 
do not accurately describe the property interfered 
with by the said Railway or the levels of the same

Orange Lodges. The House was moved, That the Resolutions and 





Order of the House of the 11th day of August in the 
last Session of Parliament, relative to Orange Lodges 
in Ireland,and the Address to His Majesty thereupon, 
might be read ; and the same were read, as follow: 

“ Resolved, That it appears, from the Evidence 
laid before this House, that there exist at present 
in Ireland more than Fifteen hundred Orange Lodges, 
some parishes containing as many as three or be 
Private Lodges, consisting of members varying in 
number from 16 to 260, acting in communication 
and correspondence with each other, and having 
secret signs and pass-words as bonds of union, and 
all depending on the Grand Lodge of Ireland. 

z pert That it appears that the Orange 
Institution of Jreland is unlimited in numbers, and 
exclusively a Protestant Association; that every 
member must first belong to a Private Lodge, to 
which he is admitted under a religious sanction, and 
with a religious ceremony, carrying a Bible in his 
hands, submitting to certain forms and declarations, 
and taught secret signs and pass-words. 

“ Resolved, That it appears that no Lodge can 
be constituted without a warrant of the Grand Lodge 
of Ireland, signed by the Grand Master and Office- 
bearers for the time being, and having the seal of the 
Grand Lodge thereto affixed. 

“ Resolved, That it appears by the Laws and 
Ordinances of the Orange Institution in Jreland, 
dated 1835, that the Secretary of each Private Lodge 
is directed to report to the Secretary of the District 
Lodge; the Secretary of each District Lodge to report 
to the Grand Secretary of the County Lodge; the 
Grand Secretary of the County Lodge to report to 
the Deputy Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge in 
Dublin; and the Grand Lodge to hold meetings at 
“o yeas to transact the ordinary business of

és) 


the Society; and the Deputy Grand Secretary of the 
Grand Lodge to communicate half yearly to each - 
Lodge in Ireland, and also to the Grand Lodge of 
Great Britain. 

“ Resolved, That it appears by the books of the 
Grand Lodge of Jreland, produced by its Deputy 
Grand Secretary, before the Select Committee of this 
House, that numerous Warrants for constituting and 
holding Orange Lodges in the Army, have been 
issued to Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates 
of Regiments of Cavalry and of Infantry of the Line, 
at home and abroad ; to Non-Commissioned Officers 
of the Staff of several Militia Regiments ; to mem- 
bers of other Corps, and to the Police. 

“ Resolved, That it appears by the Evidence, that 
such Warrants are sent privately and indirectly to 
such Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates, and 
that Lodges have been held without the knowledge 
or sanction of the Commanding Officers of such 
Regiments or Corps; and further, that every Lodge 
held in the Army is considered as a District Lodge. 

“ Resolved, That it appears that such Warrants 
have been issued, and Lodges held in the Army with- 
out the knowledge of Lord Hill, although the General 
Orders of the Tomneveniie in Chief of the Forces 
(Parliamentary Paper, No. 395, of 1835), addressed 
in the years 1822 and 1829 to Commanding Officers 
of Regiments and of Depots, and to General Officers, 
and other Officers on the Staff, at home and abroad, 
strongly reprobate the holding of Orange Lodges in 
any regiment, as ‘fraught with injury to the dis- 
cipline of the Army;’ and ‘ that, on military grounds, 
the holding of Orange Lodges in any Regiment or 
Corps, is contrary to order, and to the rules of the 
service ;’ and ‘that a disregard of this caution will 
subject offending parties to trial and punishment for 
disobedience of orders.’ 

“ Ordered, That the said Resolutions, and the 
Evidence taken before the Select Committee on 
Orange Lodges (Ireland), be laid before His Majesty 
by such Members of this House as are of His Ma- 
jesty’s most honourable Privy Council. 

“* Resolved, That an humble Address be presented 
to His Majesty, praying that He will be graciously 
pleased to direct His Royal attention to the nature 
and extent of Orange Lodges in His Majesty’s Army, 
in contravention of the General Orders of the Com- 
mander in Chief of His Majesty’s Forces, issued in 
the years 1822 and 1829, whieh strongly reprobate 
and forbid the holding — Lodges in any of His 
Majesty’s Regiments, and also, to the circumstance 
of His Royal Highness Ernest Duke of Cumberland, 
a Field Marshal in His Majesty’s Army, having 
signed warrants in his capacity of Grand Master of 
the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland (some of them 
dated so recently as April in the present year), which 
warrants have been afterwards issued for consti- 
tuting Orange Lodges in the Army.” 

And a Motion ring Suse and the Question being 
proposed, That this House, taking into considera- 
tion the evidence given before the Select Committee 
appointed to inquire into the nature, extent, character 
and tendency of Orange Lodges, Associations or 
Societies in Lreland ; and of Orange Institutions in 
Great Britain and the Colonies; and seeing that 
the existence of Orange Societies is highly detri- 
mental to the peace of the community,  Cineera: 
discord amongst the several classes of His Majesty’s 
subjects; and, seeing that it is highly injurious to 
the due administration of justice, that any Judge, 
Sheriff, Magistrate, Juryman, or any other person 
employed in maintaining the peace of the Country, 
should be bound by any secret obligation to, or be 
in any combination with, any Association unknown 
to the Laws, and founded upon principles of re- 
ligious exclusion, that even if justice were impar- 
tially administered under such circumstances, which 
is in itself impossible ; yet any connexion with such 
Societies would create suspicions and jealousies 
detrimental to the peace and good government of 
this Country ;

Mr. Daniel Gaskell reported from the Committee 
on the Petition for the Wakefield Water Bill; That 
the Standing Orders relative to Bills for supplying

not the surface-level of the line of the ground under

A Petition of Proprietors of lands and heritages, 
and Inhabitants of the county of Stirling, was pre- 
sented, and read; taking notice of the Stirlin 
Canal Bill; and setting forth, That by the said Bill 
it is proposed to incorporate certain persons, sub- 
scribers to the Undertaking, to make and maintain 
a navigable Cut or Canal from the Town of Stirling 





A. 1836. 


to the Forth and Clyde Canal, at or near to Wynd- 
ford, in the county of Dumbarton; that under the 
authority of various Acts of Parliament a Canal 
has been formed from the Firth or River of Forth 
to the Firth or River of Clyde, termed the Forth 
and Clyde Navigation, and great and extensive 
powers have been given to the incorporated Com- 
pany of Proprietors of the said Forth and Clyde 
Navigation to supply the said Canal with water, 
by taking and using the water of many rivers, 
brooks and streams situated in the different counties 
through which the said navigation runs and is con- 
ducted ; that the Petitioners see with great surprise 
that the only means by which it is proposed by the 
said Bill to supply the intended Canal from the 
town of Stirling to the Forth and Clyde Canal, 
near to Wyndford, with water, is by taking such 
supply of water from the Forth and Clyde Eeseks 
that no notice whatever has been given of the inten- 
tion of diverting the supply of water which would 
be necessary for this intended Canal from the Forth 
and Clyde Navigation, nor has any notice been given 
to the owners and occupiers of the rivers, brooks 
and streams by which the Forth and Clyde Navi- 
gation is supplied, of the intention to divert the 
supply of water to a new and totally different pur- 
pose ; that to enable the Proprietors of the Forth 
and Clyde Navigation to divert the supply of water 
to a purpose entirely foreign to its original destina- 
tion, notices should have been given of such mten- 
tion to all persons interested, and a Bill should have 
been introduced to carry the intention into effect ; 
that in these respects an attempt is made by the 
present Bill to obtain objects and purposes mani- 
festly unjust, with a total neglect of what the 
Standing Orders of the House in such cases require; 
and that it has only been since this Bill was intro- 
duced to the House that the purposes of the pro- 
moters of it in the respects above stated have become 
manifest, nothing thereof having appeared in the 
Petition upon which the Bill was introduced ; and 
praying, That the Committee upon the original Pe- 
tition should be revived, and that it should be re- 
ferred to such Committee to inquire whether the 
Standing Orders in the relation to this Bill have 
or have not been complied with, and that the Peti- 
tioners may have such other relief as to the House 
shall seem meet. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table. 


The Lord Advocate presented a Bill for making

A Petition of John Blaydes, of Oulton, in the west 
riding of the county of York, Esquire, was pre- 
sented, and read; taking notice of the North Mid- 
land Railway Bill; and setting forth, That the 
Petitioner is an owner of land over or through which 
the line of Railway contemplated by the said Bill 
is intended to pass; that the measure designed by 
the said Bill would, if carried into effect in the man- 
ner contemplated by such Bill, most seriously affect 
the interests of the Petitioner, and the Petitioner 
therefore strongly objects to the passing of such 
Bill in its present form; that the Petitioner begs 
leave to represent, that the Standing Orders of the 
House have not been complied with by the appli- 
cants forthe Bill, inasmuch as it appears, upon in- 
spection of the Plan, Section and Book of Refer- 
ence deposited in the Private Bill Office of the 
House, that the same respectively are not duplicates 
of the Plans, Sections and Books of Reference 
deposited with the respective Clerks of the Peace 
for the county of Derby, for the west riding of 
the county of York, and for the borough of Leeds, 
nor are such last-mentioned Plans, Sections and 
Books of Reference copies of each other, but, on the 
contrary, the same differ materially from each other 
in many important particulars, and that the same 
do not, in any or either of them, accurately describe 
the line or course of the said intended Railway or 
the levels upon which the same is intended to be 
made ; and praying, That he may be heard upon his 
Petition, by himself, his agents and witnesses, or 
that he may have such other other relief as to the 
House may seem meet. 

A Petition of Owners and Occupiers of property 
through which the said Railway is proposed to be 
carried, was also presented, and read; taking notice 
of the said Bill; and setting forth, That the measure 
designed by the said Bill would, if carried into effect 
in the manner contemplated by such Bill, most seri- 
ously affect the interests of the Petitioners, and they 
therefore strongly object to the passing of such Bill in 
its present form; that the Petitioners beg leave to 
represent, that the Standing Orders of the House 
have not been complied with by the applicants for the 
said Bili, inasmuch as it appears, upon inspection of 
the Plans deposited with the respective Clerks of the 
Peace for the west riding of the county of York, 
and for the borough of Leeds, and in the Private 
Bill Office, that as relates to the parish of Leeds, 
and township of Hunslet, such Plans do not de- 
scribe the line or course of the said intended Rail- 
way, nor the lands in and through which the same 
is intended to be carried; such Sections do not 
describe the levels, and such Books of Reference do 
not show to what parties the lands proposed to be 
taken belong, nor by whom the same respectively 
are occupied; and that the Plans, Sections and 
Books of Reference so deposited with the said 
Clerks of the Peace, differ materially from each

other in many instances, and are not duplicates ; that 
upon inspection of the documents deposited in the 
Private Bill Office, it appears, upon the face of such 
documents themselves, that the Plan, Section and 
Books of Reference there deposited, are not dupli- 
cates of the Plans, Sections or Books of Reference 
so deposited with the said Clerks of the Peace for 
the west riding of the said county of York, and 
for the borough of Leeds respectively, and that in- 
correct descriptions are given in all the said Books 
of Reference of the ownership and occupancy of the 
lands which are described upon the said Plans, as 
well those belonging to some of the Petitioners as 
those belonging to other parties; that it is also 
manifest, upon the face of the documents themselves, 
that the names of many of the owners and occu- 
piers of property do not appear in the Lists of 
Owners and Occupiers deposited in the Private Bill 
Office; that several persons who are owners or 
occupiers of property intended to be taken for the 
purposes of the said Railway do not appear to have 
been applied to previously to presenting the Petition 
for the Bill ; that in several other instances in which 
itis stated that application has been made to the 
owners and occupiers of property, the answers re- 
ceived on the occasion of such application being 
made have not been entered in the said Lists; an 
that in other instances the answers which were given 
upon the occasion of such application being made 
are not correctly entered in the said Lists; and 
that in several other respects the Standing Orders 
of the House have not been complied with; and 
praying, That they may be heard, by themselves, 
their agents and witnesses, or that they may have 
such other relief in the premises as to the House 
shall seem meet.

Owners and Occupiers of lands situate in the neigh- 
bourhood of the proposed Westmoor Canal, in the

notice of the Parrett Navigation Bill; and setting 
forth, That under an Act passed in the second year 
of the reign of His present Majesty, intituled, “ An 
Act to explain and amend two Acts of the fifty-first 
year of his late Majesty King George the Third, 
and the fifth of his late Majesty King George the 
Fourth, relative to the Bridgewater and Taunton 
Canal Navigation,” the Petitioners, the said Com- 
pany of Proprietors of the Bridgewater and Taunton 
Canal Navigation, have vested in them a portion of 
the River Tone, in the said county of Somerset, in- 
cluding so much thereof as lies between Bridgewater 
and Taunton, and, as part of the same, so much of the 
River commonly called the Parrett, as lies between 
Bridgewater and Stanmoor Bridge ; that so much of 
the said River, commonly called the Parrett, as lies 
between Bridgewater and Stanmoor Bridge,and which 
is so vested in the Petitioners, the said Company as 
aforesaid, will be affected by the works seiiacied by 
the promoters of the said Bull, inasmuch as that part 
of the said river will be deprived of a considerable 
portion of the water now supplied by the tide, as the 
said works will prevent the tide from flowing so high 
up the said River Parrett as at present, and conse- 
quently from returning down the same, upon which 
return the Petitioners, the said Company, are now 
dependent for the purposes of their navigation from 
Taunton to Bridgewater ; that the said lands of the 
Petitioners, the proprietors and occupiers of lands 
situate in the neighbourhood of the works projected 
by the promoters of the said Bill, and also Walaaer 
aforesaid, in which the said last-named Petitioners 
have nights, will be materially injured by such 
works, depriving the said lands and Moor of water, 
with which the same are kept moist in the summer 
season, and the cattle grazing thereon supplied, and

in many other respects; that the Standing Orders | 
of the House have not been complied with in relation | 
to such Bill, inasmuch as the consent of the Peti- 
tioners, the said Company of Proprietors, hath not | 
been applied for with reference thereto, and inas- | 
much as no Section of the works contemplated to 
be made on the said River Parrett hath been depo- 
sited with the Clerk of the Peace of the said county 
of Somerset ; that the said Standing Orders have not 
been complied with in relation to the said Bill in 
the other respects following; that is to say, first, 
according to the notice given, as directed by the 
said Standing Orders, of the intended application 
to Parliament, the new navigable Canal was to 
commence at the junction of the Rivers Parrett and 
Isle, whereas, according to the Plan deposited with 
the said Clerk of the Peace, such Canal is con- 
templated to commence higher up the IJsle, at a 
distance of one furlong or thereabouts from the said 
junction; secondly, according to the said notice 
the said canal was to go to the town of Ilminster, 
whereas, according to the said Plan, it is contemplated 
to terminate it at a place called Park-lane, being 
four miles or thereabouts short of that town ; thirdly, 
the said Plan contemplates the making of two cuts 
adjoining the said River Parrett, one near Huish 
Bridge, and the other near Muchelney Ford, neither 
of which cuts is mentioned in the said notices; 
fourthly, the said Plan contemplates the making of 
two other new cuts connected with the said River

sufficient time, except as to four persons who resided 
respectively at Newton Barry, in the county of Wez- 
ford, Wicklow, Dublin and Liverpool ; and it further 
appeared to the Committee, that all diligence was 
used to complete the said Lists, which would have 
been completed in due time, but for the distance at 
which six individuals resided, which was not known 
to the person employed to make the application 
until too late; and that five of such individuals have

Standing Orders relative to Navigation Bills, and to 
Bills for making Docks, had not been complied with, 
inasmuch as the documents required by the Stand- 
ing Orders to be deposited in the Private Bill Office 
of the House, had not been so deposited ; but it ap- 
peared to the Committee, that the omission arose 
from its having been the intention, until within these 
few days, that the expense of the new works should 
be defrayed by subscription, and not by the Glamor- 
ganshire Canal Company ; but that such intention 
being abandoned from the inability to obtain sub- 
scriptions, it is now wished to raise the necessary

that all the preliminary steps required by the Stand-

Petition.

and the same being read ; 

Ordered, That the said Petitions be referred 
to the revived Committee on the Petition for the 
Bill. 

A Petition of Owners and Occupiers of property 
through which the Railway hereinafter referred to is 
proposed to be carried, was also presented, and read ; 
taking notice of the Manchester and Leeds Railway 
Bill; and setting forth, That the said measure, if ex- 
ecuted in the manner contemplated by the said Bill, 
will most seriously affect the interests of the Peti- 
tioners, and they therefore strongly object to the 
passing of such Bill in its present form; that the Peti- 
tioners beg leave to represent, that the Standing 
Orders of the House have not been complied with by 
the applicants for the said Bill, inasmuch as it ap- 
are upon inspection of the Plans, Sections and 

ooks of Reference deposited with the respective 
Clerks of the Peace for the west riding of the 
county of York, and for the county of Lancaster, 
and for the borough of Leeds, and in the Private 
Bill Office, that such Plans do not, in many in- 
stances, describe the line or course of the said 
intended Railway, nor the lands in or through which 
the same is intended to be carried; such Sections do 
not describe the levels, and such Books of Reference 
do not show to what parties the lands proposed to 
be taken belong, nor by whom the same respec- 
tively are occupied; and that the Plans, Sections 
and Books of Reference so deposited with the said 
Clerksof the Peace differ materially from each other 
in many instances; that, upon inspection of the 
documents deposited in the Private Bill Office, it 
appears, from the face of such documents them- 
selves, that the Plan, Section and Book of Re- 
ference there deposited are not duplicates of the 
Plans, Sections or Books of Reference so deposited 
with the said Clerks of the Peace for the west 
riding of the county of York, for the county of 
Lancaster, and for the borough of Leeds respec- 
tively ; that incorrect descriptions are given in all 
the said Books of Reference of the ownership 
and occupancy of the lands which are described 
upon the said Plans, as well those belonging to 
some of the Petitioners, as those belonging to other 
parties ; that it is also manifest, upon the face of 
the Documents themselves, that the names of many 
of the owners and occupiers of property do not ap- 
pear in the List of Owners and Occupiers deposited 
in the Private Bill Office, and that several parties 
who are owners and occupiers of property or og 
to be taken for the purposes of the said Railway, 
have not been applied to previously to presenting 
the Petition for the Bill; that the Plan deposited 
with the Clerk of the Peace for the west riding of 
the county of York was not so deposited in its pre- 
sent state on or before the 30th day of November 
last, as required by the Standing Orders of the House ; 
and that in several other instances the Standing 
Orders of the House have not been complied with ;

Sir Harry Verney reported from the Committee on 
the Petition for the Aylesbury Railway Bill; That 
the Standing Orders relative to Bills for making 
Railways, had not been complied with, inasmuch 
as in the Newspaper Notices inserted three times 
before the 30th of November, the termination of the 
Railway differed from the actual termination, as 
described on the Map or Plan deposited with the 
Clerks of the Peace; but it appeared to the Com- 
mittee that the said termination was, in fact, in the 
same parish as described in the notice; and it fur- 
ther appeared to the Committee, that a corrected 
notice accurately describing the termination, as it 
appears on the Plan deposited, was inserted in the 
county newspapers twice before the 30th of No- 
vember, and once in the first week of December ; 
and that the Committee had examined the matter of 
the Petition. 

Ordered, That the Report be referred to the Select 
Committee on Standing Orders. 


A Petition of the Honourable Frances Ingram 
Shepherd William Gordon commonly called Lady

ously affect the interests of the Petitioner, and she 
therefore strongly objects to the passing of such Bill 
in its present form; that the Petitioner begs leave 
to represent, that the Standing Orders of the House 
have not been complied with by the applicants of

nor is any or either of them numbered or shown 
upon the Plan of the said intended Railway depo- 
sited with the said Book of Reference, save only the 
number 139, which has been inserted in the said 
Plan since the same was deposited; and that 
although there is an enlarged Plan of part of the 
said town of Leeds, wherein the property of the Pe~ 
titioner is shown and numbered, yet in such en- 
larged Plan there is no line or course of the said 
intended Railway drawn or shown, in consequence 
whereof it is impossible for the Petitioner to ascer- 
tain in what way the Petitioner’s said property is to 
be affected, or whether the said line is intended to 
pass over, or to intersect such property, or only to 
pass by it; that the Petitioner 1s also owner of lands 
in the townships of Oulton and Woodlesford through 
which the said line also passes, numbered from 1 
to 16, and 1 to 8 respectively; but the Plan and 
Section lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the 
west riding of the county of York, as aforesaid, and 
those so deposited at the Private Bill Office, do not 
correspond in regard to such lands, or the line and 
levels of the said Railway as it passes through the 
same, and the same are not therefore duplicates of 
each other; and praying that he may be heard upon 
his Petition, by himself, his agents and witnesses, or 
that he may have: such other relief in the premises 
as to the House may seem meet. 

And the said Petitions were ordered to be referred 
to the revived Committee on the Petition for the Bill.

certain lands of the Petitioner, situate in the town- 
ship of Altofts, not numbered on the said Plan, or 
referred to in the Book of Reference when so depo- 
sited, have since had numbers inserted therein ; viz.

A Petition of John Blayds, of Oulton Lodge, in the 
township of Oulton, in the west riding of the county

taking notice of the said Bill; and setting forth, 
That the Petitioner is the owner of a considerable 
quantity of land and other property in the line of 
the said intended Railway, and particularly of divers 
messuages, warehouses and other buildings in the 
township of Leeds, and the measure designed by the 
said Bill will, if carried into effect, materially affect 
the interests of the Petitioner, and he therefore 
strongly objects to the passing of the said Bill in its 
present shape; that the Petitioner begs leave to 
represent, that the Standing Orders of the House 
have not been complied with by the applicants for 
the said Bill in the following, amongst other parti-

tion of Thomas Daniel, and David Evans; and also

mittee having determined “ that the Petitioners be 
heard on behalf of themselves only,” the agent for 
the Petitioners stated, that in consequence of such 
determination, it was not his intention to proceed 
with the said Petitions; the Committee therefore

of Church Rate, the Universities, Marriages and

flogging and naval impressment may be satisfactorily 
adjusted ; that the establishments of the country

A Petition of Nicholas Wilcox Cundy, of South 
Lambeth, in the county of Surrey, Civil Engineer 
was 


survey and plan a line for a Railway from London, 
by Mitcham, Ewell, Epsom, Leatherhead, Mickle- 
ham, Dorking, Newdigate, Horsham, Nuthurst, West 
Grinstead, Beeding and Shoreham, to Brighton; 
that, in the year 1834, two other lines were pro- 
jected, surveyed and planned by Messrs. Rennie and 
Mr. Vignolles ; that the two several lines projected 
by the Petitioner and the Messrs. Rennie were 
examined by Mr. Stephenson, Civil Engineer, for 
the purpose of reporting to the parties interested in 
the said two lines which of them in his judgment 
he considered the more eligible to adopt; that Mr. 
Stephenson, on or about the month of January last 
year, reported, that the line projected by the Peti- 
tioner, in point of levels, population, expense of 
construction, and revenue, was superior to the line 
projected by the Messrs. Rennie by forty per centum; 
that Mr. Stephenson, having possessed himself of 
the Plan, Section and Estimate of the Petitioner’s 
projected Railway from London to Brighton, de- 
tained the same for upwards of two months, by 
which the Petitioner, and such other persons as had 
subscribed towards raising the money for effecting 
the said Railway, were prevented from applying to 
the House, during the last Session of Parliament, 
for a Bill to empower them to make the said Rail- 
way; that the Petitioner has caused the usual and 
necessary notices to be given of an application to 
Parliament for making a Railway from the South- 
ampton Railway, at Wimbledon, to Shoreham and 
Brighton, and has caused the Plans, Sections and 
Book of Reference, and other necessary documents, 
to be lodged in the Private Bill Office, in conformity 
to the Standing Orders of the House; that the 
Petitioner has learnt with surprise that a Petition 
has been presented to the House, during the present 
Session, for leave to bring in a Bill for making a 
Railway from London to Brighton under the sanc- 
tion of the said Mr. Stephenson, the plan and line 
of which, as appears by the documents lodged in 
the Private Bill Office, are taken and pirated from 
the plan and line projected by the Petitioner as 
aforesaid, with the exception of two deviations, 
which will render it necessary to have two tunnels, 
and a high, dangerous and expensive embankment 
for a distance of two miles, whilst the Petitioner’s 
projected line avoids both tunnels and embank- 
ment, and embraces a much more desirable and 
opulous portion of country; that the Plan and 
Section lodged in the Private Bill Office by Mr. 
Stephenson are in many respects very imperfect, and 
incorrectly drawn; and praying, That the House 
will cause all the details of the two several Plans to 
be thoroughly investigated in such manner as to the 
House shall seem meet, and that preference may be

representing to the Petitioner that he had previously 
obtained the consent of his, the Petitioner’s land- 
lord, Lord Eldon, the Petitioner was induced, on 
that account, to allow himself to be put down as 
assenting thereto; that ‘the Petitioner has been in- 
formed and believes, that he was deceived by the 
said Mr. Tennant, inasmuch as the said Lord Eldon, 
at the time the application was made to the Peti- 
tioner, had not given his consent to the said Rail- 
way ; that if the Petitioner had not been so deceived 
and misled by the said Mr. Tennant, he should have 
given a decided dissent to the said Railway, instead 
of allowing himself to be put down as assenting 
thereto; and he therefore conceives that in this 
respect the Standing Orders of the House have not 
been complied with; and praying, That the Com- 
mittee on the Petition for the said Bill may be revived,

and their partners in the West Auckland Brewery, 
are occupiers of land in Saint Helen’s Auckland, 
through or over which the said Railway is proposed 
to be carried ; that the Petitioners are advised, that 
the Standing Orders of the House have not been 
complied with, inasmuch as no application has been 
made to the Petitioners and their partners in the 
said brewery for their consent to the said Railway, 
nor are they returned in the Lists of Occupiers depo- 
sited in the Private Bill Office of the House, either 
as assents, dissents or neuters in respect thereto ; 
and praying, That the Committee on the Petition 
for the said Bill may be revived, and that the Peti- 
tioners may be heard, by themselves, their agents or 
witnesses, before the said Committee, or that they 
may have such other relief in the premises as to the

of a field in Eldon, through or over which the line of 
the Railway hereinafter mentioned is proposed to 
be carried, was also presented, and read; takin 
notice of the said Bill; and setting forth, That the 
Petitioner conceives the said Railway, if made, will 
most inconveniently and injuriously affect him as 
occupier of the said field, and he decidedly objects to 
the same, although his name is put down in the 
List deposited in the Private Bill Office as assent- 
ing thereto; that the Petitioner, when the applica- 
tion was made to him by Mr. Tennant for his assent, 
distinctly told the said Mr. Tennant, that he was 
convinced the said Railway would be a great injury 
to his property, and that he was against it; but 
upon the said Mr. Tennant representing that he had 

ot his, the Petitioner’s landlord and master, Lord 

Idon’s sanction, he was induced to allow himself 
to be set down in the said List as assenting ; that 
the Petitioner has since been informed and believes, 
that when the said application was made to the 
Petitioner, the said Lord Eldon had not given his 
consent to the said Railway, and that the represen- 
tation of the said Mr. Tennant, that he had got the 
sanction of Lord Eldon, was a misrepresentation 
made for the purpose of influencing the Petitioner’s 
conduct with respect to the said Railway, and pre- 
venting his giving an answer to the application ex- 
— of his opinion thereon ; that if the Petitioner 

ad not been deceived and misled by the said misre- 
presentation, he should have given a decided dissent 
to the said Railway, instead of allowing himself to 
be put down as assenting with respect thereto; that 
the Petitioner is advised, that in the above and 
several other respects the Standing Orders of the 
House have not been complied with; and praying, 
That the Commttiee on the Petition for the said Bill 


11° Marti. 


A. 1836.

by himself, his agents or witnesses, before the said

rity of various Acts of Parliament now consolidated,

T minating

minating at Autherley, in the said county, and 
where the said Birmingham Canal Navigation joins 
the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Naviga- 
tion; and great and extensive powers have been 
given to the incorporated Company of Proprietors 
of the said Birmingham Canal Navigation, to sup- 
ply their said Canal with water, by taking and using 
the water of many rivers, brooks and streams, and 
situated in the different counties through which the

is ordered, that in all applications intended to be 
made for such Bills, certain Maps and Sections 
shall be deposited for public inspection at the Office 
of the Clerk of the Peace of every county, riding 
or division in or through which such Cut, Canal, 
Reservoir, Aqueduct or Navigation is intended to 
be made; and that the Map or Plan shall also 
describe the brooks and streams to be diverted into 
such Cut, Canal, Reservoir, Aqueduct or Navigation, 
or into such variation, abridgment, extension or 
enlargement for supplying the same with water, and 
the elevation of any such Aqueduct; and such Section, 
shall specify the levels, and describe the same by feet 
and inches ; that the Petitioner sees, with great sur- 
prise, that the Map or Plan deposited with the

the House, do not comply with the above Standing 
Order, and do not describe the brooks or streams to 
be diverted into such projected line of new Canal ; and

intended new Canal, is of material import to the 
Petitioner, as a neighbouring land-owner, and to 
numerous other parties whose properties are in the 
neighbourhood of the said existing Canals and pro- 
jected Cut; that in the Petition for the said Bill 
nothing whatever was disclosed relating to the in- 
tended supply of water; that the assent of the 
Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal Com- 
pany to the Aqueduct and Canal proposed by the 
above-mentioned Bill, was not properly or duly 
given, and is improperly stated as a consent, 
whereas the same was given at a proposed general 
meeting of Proprietors of the said Canal Naviga- 
tion Company, at which there was not present a 
sufficient number of proprietors to constitute a legal 
meeting, according to the provisions of the Act of 
Parliament regulating the meetings of the said Canal 
Company ; and praying, That the Committee upon 
the original Petition may be revived, and that it 
may be referred to such Committee to inquire whe- 
ther the Standing Orders in relation to this Bill 
have or have not been complied with; and that the 
said Bill may not be allowed to proceed, unless the 
promoters of the said Bill can prove their com- 
pliance with the Standing Orders of the House.

But if there shall be both a Feoffment and a Bargain and

attach on either. 


And it is hereby declared, That the purchase-money or 
consideration shall be truly expressed and set forth in 
words at length, in or upon every such principal or 
only deed or instrument of conveyance ; and where 
such consideration shall consist either wholly or in part 
of any annuity, rent or yearly sum, or of any stock or 
security, the value thereof respectively to be ascertained 
as hereinafter mentioned, shall also be truly expressed 
and set forth in manner aforesaid, in or upon every 
such deed or instrument. 


And where any such conveyance as aforesaid shall be 
made in consideration wholly or in part of any annuity, 
rent, or yearly sum, to be afterwards borne or paid by 
the purchaser, the value of such annuity, rent or yearly 
sum, shall be ascertained in the manner hereinafter 
mentioned ; and such value shill be deemed and taken 
to be the purchase or consideration money, or part of 
the purchase or consideration money, as the case may 
be, in respect whereof the ad valorem Duty shall be 
charged as aforesaid. Provided always, That nothing 
herein contained shall be construed to charge any such 
ad valorem Duty in respect of the rent reserved on any 
lease or tack charged with Duty in respect thereof under 
the title Lease in this Schedule, nor in respect of any 
quit or chief rent, which may be issuing out of any 
lands or estates sold; or if the same shall be situated 
in Scotland, any Feu Duty, or other payment, service 
or prestation, which may be exigible by the immediate 
superior thereof, or with which the property may have 
been effectually burdened, in pursuance of any preced- 
ing investiture ; or in respect of land tax, tithes or any 
other public or parochial burdens, or any rent or annual 
payment for land tax redeemed, or for exoneration from 
tithes; or in respect of any copyhold rents or services 
for any copyhold tenements sold; or to charge with 
any such ad valorem Duty, assignments or transfers of 
leases or tacks, or of under leases, in respect of the 
rents originally reserved, or prestations, or services sti- 
pulated in the leases or tacks, or under leases, thereby 
assigned or transferred. 

And it is hereby declared, That the value of such annuity, 
rent or yearly sum as aforesaid shall be ascertained ac- 
cording to the Tables for the valuation of Annuities 
annexed to any Act in force, or which may be in force 
for granting Stamp Duties on Legacies, and on suc- 
cessions to personal or moveable estates, in Great Bri- 
tain, in all cases to which such tables shall be appli- 
cable ; and in cases where the term, either for lives or 
years, for which any such annuity, rent or yearly pay- 
ment may be granted, shall exceed in either case the 
duration of the terms calculated by such tables, then 
the highest value given according to such tables, either 
for lives or years, as the case may be, shall be deemed 
and taken as the value of such annuity, rent or yearly 
sum; and in all cases where the term either for a life 
or lives, or years, for which any such annuity, rent or 
yearly payment may be granted, shall be subject to any 
contingency which may defeat the payment thereof, 
then the value given according to such tables, of a 
term either for such life or lives, or for years, as the 
case may be, not subject to any contingency, shall be 
deemed and taken as the value of such annuity, rent or 
yearly sum; and in all cases in which such annuity, 
rent or yearly sum shall be in fee simple or in per- 
petuity, the same shall be valued at and after the rate 
of twenty-five years’ purchase thereon. 


And where the consideration, or any part of the considera- 
tion, shall be any Stock in any of the Public Funds, or 
any Government Debenture, or Stock of the Bank of 
England or Bank of Ireland, or any Debenture or 
Stock of any Corporation, Company, Society, or per- 
sons or person, payable only at the will of the debtor, 
then the said Duty shall be calculated (taking the same 
respectively, whether constituting the whole or a part 
only of such consideration) according to the average 
selling price thereof respectively on the day, or on 
either of the ten days preceding the day of the date of 
the deed or instrument of conveyance ; or if no sale 
shall have taken place within such ten days, then ac- 
cording to the average selling price thereof on the day 
of the last, preceding sale; and if such consideration, 
or part of such consideration, shall be a mortgage, 
judgment or bond, or a debenture the amount whereof 
shall be recoverable by the holder, or any other security 
whatsoever, whether payable in money or otherwise, 
then such calculation shall be made according to the 
sum due thereon for both principal and interest. 


And where any lands or other property of different tenures 
or holdings, or held under different titles, contracted to 
be sold at one entire price for the whole, shall be con- 
veyed to the purchaser in separate parts or parcels by 
different deeds or instruments, the purchase or con- 
sideration money shall be divided and apportioned in 
such manner as the parties shall think fit; so that a 
distinct price or consideration for each separate part or 


Vou. 91. 











parcel may be set forth in or upon the principal or 
only deed or instrument of conveyance relating thereto, 
which shall be charged with the said ad valorem Duty 
in respect of the price or consideration therein set forth. 


And where any lands or other property, contracted to be 


purchased by two or more persons, jointly, or by any 
person for himself and others, or wholly for others, at 
one entire price for the whole, shall be conveyed in parts or 
parcels, by separate deeds or instruments, to the persons 
for whom the same shall be purchased, for distinct parts 
or shares of the purchase money or consideration, the 
principal or only deed or instrument of conveyance of 
each separate part or parcel shall be charged with the 
said ad valorem Duty in respect of the sum of money 
or other consideration therein specified as the considera- 
tion for the same; but if separate parts or parcels of 
such lands or other property shall be conveyed to, or 
to the use of, or in trust for different persons, in and 
by one and the same deed or instrument, then such 
deed or instrument shall be charged with the said ad 
valorem Duty in respect of the aggregate amount of 
the purchase money or consideration therein mentioned 
to be paid or given, or agreed to be paid or given, for 
the lands or property thereby conveyed. 


And where any person having contracted for the purchase 


of any lands or other property, but not having ob- 
tained a conveyance thereof, shall contract to sell to 
any other person, and the same shall in consequence be 
conveyed immediately to the sub-purchaser, the prin- 
cipal or only deed or instrument of conveyance shall 
be charged with the said ad valorem Duty in respect of 
the purchase money or consideration therein mentioned 
to be paid or given, or agreed to be paid or given by 
the sub-purchaser. 


And where any person, having contracted for the pur- 


chase of any lands or other property, but not having 
obtained a conveyance thereof, shall contract to sell 
the whole, or any part or parts thereof, to any other 
person or persons, and the same shall in consequence 
be conveyed by the original seller to different persons, 
in parts or parcels, the principal or only deed or in- 
strument of conveyance of each part or parcel thereof 
shall be charged with the said ad valorem Duty in re- 
spect only of the purchase money or consideration 
which shall be therein mentioned to be paid or given, 
or agreed to be paid or given for the same, by the 
person or persons to whom or to whose use, or in trust 
for whom the conveyance shall be made, without regard 
to the amount of the original purchase money or con- 
sideration. 


And in all cases of such sub-sales as aforesaid, the sub- 


purchasers, and the persons immediately selling to 
them, shall be deemed and taken to be the purchasers 
and sellers within the intent and meaning of the pro- 
visions and regulations relating to the ad valorem 
Duties on Conveyances on the Sale of Property. 


But where any sub-purchaser shall take an actual con- 


veyance of the interest of the person immediately sell- 
ing to him, which shall be chargeable with the said ad 
valorem Duty in respect of the purchase money or 
consideration paid or given, or agreed to be paid or 
given, by him, and shall be duly stamped accordingly, 
any deed or instrument of conveyance to be afterwards 
made to him of the property in question, by the ori- 
ginal seller, shall be exempt from the said ad valorem 
Duty, where the same shall exceed 1/. 15s. in Great 
Britain, or 11. in Ireland, and such Deed or Instru- 
ment shall be charged only with the ordinary Duty on 
deeds or instruments of the same kind not upon a sale. 


And where any lands or other property, separately con- 


tracted to be purchased of the same or of different 
persons, at separate and distinct prices, shall be con- 
veyed to the purchaser, or as he shall direct, in and by 
one and the same deed or instrument, such deed or in- 
strument shall be charged with the said ad valorem 
Duty in respect of the aggregate amount of the pur- 
chase money or consideration therein mentioned to be 
paid or given, or agreed to be paid or given, for the same. 


And where any lands or other property shall be sold and 


conveyed in consideration, wholly or in part, of any 
sum of money charged thereon by way of mortgage, 
wadset, bond, annuity or otherwise, and then due and 
owing to the purchaser, or shall be sold and conveyed, 
subject to any mortgage, wadset, annuity, bond or other 
debt, or to any gross or entire sum of money, to be 
afterwards paid by the purchaser, such sum of money 
or debt, or the value of such annuity, shall be deemed 
the purchase money or consideration, or part of the 
purchase money or consideration, as the case may be, 
in respect whereof the said ad valorem Duty is to be 
paid. 


Provided that where any joint tenant, tenant in common, 


or other person having an undivided share or interest 
in any lands or other property, the entirety whereof 
shall be charged with any such gross sum of money, 
debt or annuity as aforesaid, shall sell and convey his 
undivided share and interest, or any part thereof, in

ticeship. 


A Petition of Inhabitants of Birmingham, praying

read ; and ordered to lie upon the Table. : 


A Petition of Tenants of Colonel Henry Bruen, Carlow County 
resident in the county of Carlow, was presented, and Election. 
read ; setting forth, That the Petitioners are in- 
formed, and believe, that a Petition on behalf of 
Nicholas A. Vigors, Esquire, containing certain 
allegations against the character of Colonel Bruciz 
as a landlord, has been presented to the House ; 
that the Petitioners are the tenants and neighbours of 
Colonel Bruen during many years, and having a 
perfect knowledge of all his official acts, both as a 
landlord and a resident country gentleman, they 
respectfully but earnestly state that the charges set 
forth in the said Petition of WV. A. Vigors, Esquire, 
are unfounded, and they express their deep regret 
that charges so groundless and unwarrantable could 
be set before the House so indiscreetly by the said 
NN. A. Vigors, calculated to hold forth an amiable 
and indulgent landlord to the indignation of the 
lower classes of society, who are necessarily unac- 
quainted with the truth or fallacy of the allegations 
in the said Petition ; that the Petitioners take this 
public opportunity of testifying before the assembled 
Representatives of the Nation, their deep gratitude 
to Colonel Bruen, not only as an indulgent land- 
lord, but as a gentleman, whose charities for years 
have been unbounded; that the Petitioners feel them- 
selves called upon to state to the House, that Colonel 
Bruen never exerts his authority to eject his tenants, 
unless where large arrears accumulate from negli- 
gence and want of industry, and even then his 
humanity is equally conspicuous as his indulgence, 
for he permits them to remove their stock and the 
produce of their farms, forgiving rent and arrears, 
and in many cases has granted annuities for life to 
persons ejected under such circumstances ; that the 
Petitioners believe the list of grievances set forth in 
the Petition of V. A. Vigors to be wholly unfounded, 
—one solitary instance they respectfully hope will 
suffice to show the general character of the uae 
of the said Petitioner; Colonel Bruen obtains the 
credit of ejecting from the lands of Ballytarsna, 
“ nineteen families, consisting of 104 individuals, 
including twenty-one widows and orphans ;” now 
the facts that should have been stated to the House 
are, that a Mr. Mills is the intermediate landlord of 
the said tenantry, and that, if a few families were 
ejected several years ago by him, Colonel Bruen 
had not, directly or indirectly, any power or autho- 
rity over the said property, being only the head land- 
lord, and paid only a nominal rent by Mr. Mills ; 
that the Petitioners having stated thus fairly and 
honestly their opinions on this extraordinary case, 
leave with confidence the consideration of the matter 

cc3 to 





198 


tw the House, satisfied that such measures will be 
adopted in vindication of Colonel Bruen’s character 
as the House shall deem wise and expedient; that 
the Petitioners submit to the House that such accu- 
sations were put forward by the said WV. A. Vigors 
in order to impress the House with the idea that 
Colonel Bruen has made use of intimidation towards 
his tenantry to induce them to support him as can- 
didate for the said county of Carlow,which the Peti- 
tioners are fully prepared to contradict before a 
Committee of the House; that the Petitioners further 
beg to state, that they are prepared to show that 
gross intimidation has been used in numerous in- 
stances at and previous to each Election since the 
year 1831,when Sir John M. Doyle and Mr. Blackney 
were returned, in order to prevent the tenantry of 
Colonel Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh from supporting 
them, which they were most anxious to do; and 
praying the House to afford an opportunity of 
fully investigating all matters relating thereto before 
a Committee of the House. 

A Petition of John Alexander, of Milford, m the 
county of Carlow, was also presented, and read ; 
setting forth, That the Petitioner has read with great 
astonishment in the public papers a Petition pre- 
sented to the House by the honourable Member for 
Greenock, accusing the Petitioner of having used 
harassing and ruinous measures wantonly as a land- 
lord towards his tenants, and committed acts me- 
riting the reprehension of the country at large ; that 
the Petitioner humbly but earnestly prays for public 
inquiry into the particulars of these statements, as 
he is anxious of having an opportunity of refuting 
such calumnies against his character; at the present 
the Petitioner, unwilling to intrude on the House, 
except as far as necessary for the vindication of his 
character, humbly declines entering into any detail, 
further than to state, in reply to that part of the 
Petition which accuses the Petitioner of having 
ruined his tenantry by vexatious modes of litigation, 
that he was forced to recover by legal proceedings 
the tithe for which he had become hable under 
Lord Stanley’s Bill, and which his tenantry had 
declared three several times most os that 
they never would pay, although not demanded by 
the Petitioner till upwards of four months from the 
day it became due ; the amount of the costs in each 
case returned by the Petitioner’s Law Agent was 
2/.15s., which the Petitioner thinking too high, 
actually remitted 1/. in each case, leaving only the 
sum of 1/. 15s. to be paid by each as law cost ; this 
is the total amount of their expenses which have 
been stated to the House as ruinous; the Petitioner 
begs humbly to remind the House, that the farms 
leased by him to the persons whose names were 
affixed to the Petition against him, were declared on 
oath before the Committee of the House in August 
last on the Carlow Petition, by three several wit- 
nesses (respectable in appearance) to be worth one- 
half more than the rents for which the Peiitioner 
leased them, and in several instances more than 
double the rent, though the Jeases are but five years 
in being; the Petitioner therefore considered himself 
most fully justified in enforcing the payments of his 
just and moderate rights, which his tenantry most 
directly and most distinctly refused to pay three 
different times; the Petitioner never acted as his 
own Bailiff, nor ever served his tenantry with any 
law process or law paper whatever; and praying 
for strict and immediate investigation into all the 
circumstances of the case. 

A Petition of Thomas Woodcock, of Coolnakisha, 
in the county of Carlow, was also presented, and 
read; setting forth, That the Petitioner, who is 
an Englishman and a Protestant, has had many 
opportunities, during a residence of several years in 
the county of Carlow, of witnessing the grievous 
oppressions and persecution practised against the 
humbler classes of electors, and their connexions, 
for having dared to support their own principles at 


23° Martiz. 





A. 1836. 


the hustings, contrary to the wishes of their Tory 
landlords, persecutions to which the Petitioner 
verily believes no people in the world, save the ill- 
treated Jrish, would patiently submit for any length 
of time; that the Petitioner has, or can have, no 
motive save those uf a love of justice and sense of 
humanity, in making statements which expose even 
himself (but that he wholly disregards) to the 
resentment of those men who are linked together in 
opposition to the liberties of the people; that the 
Petitioner, though acquainted with many cases of 
grievous injustice, yet, to avoid unnecessary detail, 
will confine himself to the statement of one in- 
stance, sufficient, as he believes, to give the House 
an idea of the wicked and corrupt means resorted 
to for the subjugation of those voters who dared to 
obey the sacred dictate of conscience rather than 
the mandate of Tory landlords ; that James Hawes, 
of Cloghna, a freeholder of the county of Carlow, 
holding a farm of 40 acres, at two guineas per acre, 
under Colonel Bruen, a Member of the House, ob- 
tained an abatement in the amount of rent when the 
circumstances of the times rendered him, as well as 
most other tenants in the county, unable to pay the 
very high rents reserved in their leases, which leases 
were granted when agricultural produce brought 
double its present price; that, previous to the 
County Election in June last, the tenants who con- 
tracted arrears of rent under the circumstances just 
stated, but to whom receipts in full were not given, 
received intimation, conveyed to them in the most 
guarded manner, that no demand for such arrears 
would be made if they supported Tory Candidates ; 
if they acted otherwise, all arrears, it was hinted, 
to the last penny, would be most rigorously de- 
manded ; that James Hawes went to the hustings, 
under these apprehensions, to poll for his landlord, 
Colonel Henry Bruen, but fearing the displeasure 
of Heaven, when the Gospels were put into his 
hands, refused to take the bribery oath, and being 
thus unable, without incurring the guilt of perjury, 
to support his landlord, he left the polling booth 
without voting at all; that for thus hesitating to do 
that which he conscientiously believed would stamp 
him with the crime of perjury before his Creator, and 
destroy for ever his peace of mind, he has been per- 
secuted ; old arrears, incurred in consequence of the 
great fall in the price of agricultural produce, not 
through any fault or negligence of the tenant, have 
been in one round sum exacted, together with law 
expenses attendant upon a writ of ejectment with 
which the said James Hawes was served; and this 
honest, industrious and conscientious man, to escape 
eviction from his farm, has been obliged to embar- 
rass himself with debt, which the labour of years, 
under a very high rent, will scarcely enable him to 
liquidate ; that the Petitioner, aware of, and asto- 
nished at the facility with which the most accu- 
rate statements have been denied, respectfully 
prays the House to grant him an opportunity of 
proving at the bar of the House, either by himself 
or agents, the truth of this and other cases of 
grievous oppression which the Electors, and their 
connexions in that county, have so long and so 
patiently endured ; and if it be clearly established, 
of which the Petitioner cannot entertain the slightest 
doubt, that the people have been persecuted on 
political and religious grounds, he prays the House 


g|to grant them that relief which they confidently 


hope for from the justice, wisdom and humanity 
of the House. 


And the said Petitions were ordered to lie upon 
the Table ; and be printed. 


A Petition of Operative Weavers of Kilsyth, com- Hand-loom

Majesty, having been informed of the contents of 
the said Petition, recommends it to the consideration 
of the House. 


Then the said Petition was read ; setting forth, That 
the only funds belonging to the Petitioners, for the 
support of the British Museum, consist of 30,0001. 
3 per cent. Reduced Bank Annuities, the annual 
dividends whereof amount to 900/., and also of a 
bequest of the late Earl of Bridgewater, consisting 
of 12,9927. 15s. 7d., in the 3 per cent. consoli- 
dated Annuities, and of a small estate in land, 
valued at about 251. per annum; that the Establish- 
ment is necessarily attended with an expense far 
beyond the annual produce of the above-mentioned 
sums, and the Trust cannot, with benefit to the 
Public, be carried on without the aid of Parlia- 
ment; and praying the House to grant them such 
further support towards enabling them to carry 
on the execution of the trust reposed in them

A Petition of James Sothern, of Worsley Hall, in 
the county of Lancaster, Esquire, one of the trustees 
and sole superintendent under the last will and 
testament of the late Most noble Francis Duke of 
Bridgewater, was presented, and read; taking notice 
of the Manchester and Salford Canal Bill; and 
setting forth, That the Petitioner having strong 
grounds for believing that such a Bill, if passed into 
a law, would not only not promote any public ad- 
vantage, but that it would be highly injurious to the 
Canal and other trust property devised by the said 
Duke, considered it his duty, in compliance with 
the trusts and powers given to him exclusively by 
the will of the said Duke, as such superintendent 
for the time being, to oppose the said Bill; and for 
that purpose the Petitioner did, on the tenth day of 
March instant, present a Petition to the House 
against such Bill; that the Petitioner has beeni n- 
formed that a Petition has been presented to the 
House by the Right honourable and Most reverend 
Edward Harcourt, Lord Archbishop of York, and 
the Right honourable William Earl of Devon, two of 
the trustees of the said Duke of Bridgewater’s will, 

DD complaining 





| 
| 


erie eae SLD 





202 24° Martie. A. 1836. 


complaining that the Petitioner’s said Petition of 
the 10th day of March instant was presented to the 
House without their knowledge or sanction, and 
without their being consulted, and that no intimation 
thereof was given to Lord Francis Egerton, who is 
entitled to a life interest in the income arising from 
the trust property devised by the said Duke, and 
also complaining that the Petitioner’s said Petition 
was presented after information had (as it is there 
alleged) been given him that certain negociations 
were pending between the promoters of the afore- 
said Bill, and the said Lord Francis Egerton, with 
the approbation of the said Archbishop of York and 
the said Earl of Devon; that the Petitioner begs to 
state, that the will of the said Duke, after directing 
that his Lancashire and other estates therein men- 
tioned, including his said Canal, should be under 
the sole care, direction, management and control of 
the Petitioner, as the present superintendent, gives to 
the Petitioner exclusively, as sole superintendent, 
amongst other powers, an express power in the words 
following, namely, “ to make such applications to 
Parliament concerning my Canal, or any other such 
canal as aforesaid, and any of the rights or powers 
annexed to the same, or any infringement or at- 
tempted infringement on my Canal, or any regula- 
tions concerning the same, as he shall deem expe- 
dient ;’’ that in the said will is also contained an 
express direction that the other trustees should concur 
in all such acts as should be necessary or proper 
to enable the superintendent to exercise the powers 
and authorities thereby given him, and that such 
trustees should not have any power or control over 
the superintendent; that the Petitioner, following 
the provisions of the said will, did not consult his 
said co-trustees on the subject of the said Bill, as- 
much as they are expressly excluded by the said 
will from all control or power whatsoever over the 
Petitioner and his acts, and are made by the said 
will merely nominal trustees, for the purpose of better 
enabling the testator to accomplish his object of 
restricting for a considerable period the limited dis- 
positions made by him to his cestui que trust ; and 
such co-trustees for the time being had, from the 
death of the said Duke, hitherto acted on such under- 
standing, never having, as far as the Petitioner is 
aware, interfered with the management of the trusts, 
or in anywise acted as trustees under the said will, 
unless when required so to do for any technical pur- 
poses, and the Petitioner’s predecessor had always 
acted in the same manner, without consulting the 
co-trustees for the time being; that the Petitioner, 
as early as the 15th of December last, intimated, in 
a letter to Lord Francis Egerton, the necessity of 
opposing the said Bill, and an anxiety to see his 
Lordship on the subject, and that the Petitioner 
should be preparing in the meantime for opposing 
the Bill; heat which course his Lordship did not 
express any dissent, but, on the contrary, by a sub- 
sequent communication with the Petitioner,impliedly 
assented thereto; and accordingly, so soon as such 
preparations were in sufficient progress, namely, on 
the 4th day of February last, the solicitor employed 
by the Petitioner to oppose the said Bill, did, by the 
direction of the Petitioner, forward to Lord Francis 
Egerton a full statement of the several facts in support 
of his intended opposition ; and did also, by the like 
direction, offer to furnish any further particulars 
which his Lordship might think necessary as to the 
grounds of such opposition, and which said letter 
and statement was delivered at the town residence 
of Lord Francis Egerton; that shortly after such 
communication, the Petitioner’s solicitor received a 
letter from Lord Francis Egerton in answer, acknow- 
iedging the receipt of such communication, but, to 
the surprise of the Petitioner, further stating that, in 
consequence of not having, up to the period of the 
last-mentioned communication, received from the 
Petitioner any information on the subject of the pro- 
jected junction, he had directed his attention to the 








subject, and had employed certain solicitors to pre- 
pare the way for an arrangement on the subject of 
the junction cg by the said Bill, but his Lord- 
ship did not by his letters, nor has at any time since, 
conveyed to the Petitioner any intimation whatever 
of the nature of the arrangements which he contem- 
plated, and of such arrangements the Petitioner is 
yet wholly ignorant; and the Petitioner distinctly 
denies that he has ever been informed, or that he 
was aware, that at the time of his said Petition being 
presented, or at any time negotiations were pending 


between the promoters of the said Bill and Lord Midland 
Francis Egerton; that the Petitioner therefore, having coil 
a very sincere and decided opinion of the absolute , 
necessity for his intended opposition to the said Bill, 

and being prepared with strong evidence in support 

of such opinion, has felt it his imperative duty, in a 
the execution of his responsible office, and having od 
reference to the expressed objects, wishes and direc- Bill 


tions of the said Duke of Bridgewater, as well to the 
future as the present interests derivable under the 
general trusts of the said will, to adopt his present 
course of proceeding ; that the steps hitherto taken 
by the Petitioner have been conducted by his pro- 
fessional advisers and agents, according to his judg- 
ment and discretion, in the usual course, and in 
conformity with the directions of the will; and the 
Petitioner humbly submits, that no negociation can -_ 
or ought to be made according to the directions con- noe 
tained in the will, except by the Petitioner, inas- 
much as any arrangement under other negociations 
might materially affect the future and ulterior inte- 
rests of the said trust estate, which he is in duty 
bound to protect ; and praying, That the allegations 
above contained may be considered to form part of 
the Petitioner’s said former Petition, and that he 
may be allowed to establish the same by evidence 
before the Committee sitting on the said Bill. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be referred to the 
Committee on the Bill. 


The House was moved, That the Report in respect Wakefield 
of the Petition for the Wakefield Water Bill, which, Water. 
upon the 3d day of this instant March, was made

lative to Private Bills, might be read ; and the same 
being read ; 

Ordered, That leave be given to bring in a Bill for 
better supplying with Water the Town of Wakefield, 
and the Neighbourhood thereof, within the Parish 
of Wakefield, in the County of York: And that Mr. 
Daniel Gaskell and Sir George Strickland do pre- 
pare, and bring it in. 


Sir William Molesworth reported from the Commit- Tremoutha 
tee on the Petition for the Tremoutha Harbour and Harbour 


: Nev 
Railway Bill; That the Standing Orders relative to "4 Ball*y- (Mc 
Harbour Bills, have been complied with, but that the aan 
Standing Orders relative to Railway Bills, have not 
been complied with, inasmuch as that the Mapor Plan 
of the Railway was not deposited with the Clerk of 
the Peace for the county of Cornwall until after the 
30th day of November last ; but it appeared to the 
Committee, that although the notices for the Harbour 
and Railway were duly published before the end of the 
month of November last, the Parties were unavoidably 
prevented from lodging the Map or Plan with the 
Clerk of the Peace until the 4th day of January Wi 
last, in consequence of a delay occasioned by a pro- an 
tracted negociation with Lord Rolle, the proprietor " 
of the land on which the Harbour is to be made, 
and also of part of the land over which the Railway 
was intended to be carried, and without whose pre- 
vious approbation the survey could not be carried Br 
on ; that such necessary approbation was not finally 2 
given until near the end of the month of November, 


and that thereupon the survey of the line of Railway 
was immediately carried on until completed, and 
that the Map or Plan was lodged on the day afore- 
said, being the day before the last Epiphany Quarter 

Sessions ;

object to the passing of such Bill; that the Peti- 
tioners beg leave to represent, that the Standing 
Orders of the House have not been complied with 
by the applicants for the said Bill, inasmuch as it 
appears, upon inspection of the Plans, Sections 
and Books of Reference deposited with the respec- 
tive Clerks of the Peace for the county of Dublin, 
the county of Meath, and for the county of the city 
of Dublin, and for the county of the town of Drog-

carried ; such Sections do not describe the levels, 
and such Books of Reference do not correctly show 
to what parties the lands proposed to be taken be-

and that incorrect descriptions are given in all the 
said Books of Reference of the ownership and occu- 
ancy of the lands which are described upon the said 
Plans ; that it is also manifest, upon the face of the 
documents themselves, that the names of many of 
the owners and occupiers of property do not appear 
in the Lists of the Owners and Occupiers deposited 
in the Private Bill Office, and that several parties 
who are owners and occupiers of property proposed 
to be taken for the purposes of the said Railway,

notice of the applicants’ intention of applying for the

set forth therein never did become shareholders or 
subscribers to the said Undertaking; that in the 
Book or List of Owners and Occupiers of lands over 
which the said Railway is proposed to be carried, 
many are set down as assenting Parties thereto who 
never did assent, but, on the contrary, are much op- 
osed to said line of Railway; that im several other 
instances the Standing Orders of the House have 
not been complied with; and praying that they may 
be heard, by themselves, their agents and witnesses, 
against the said Bill, or that they may have such 
other relief in the premises as to the House may 
seem meet.

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the word “ That” to 
the end of the Question, in order to add the words 
“ it appears to this House, that this money has 
been expended under the immediate direction of 
Mr. Vigors, and others connected with the County 
of Carlow, on what may be called legal expenses ; 
or so unavoidable that this House see no reason 
to question their legality; and that the balance 
was absorbed in-defending the Return of Mr. 
Raphael and Mr. Vigors before the Committee 
appointed to investigate it, on the 28th July 1835,” 
instead thereof. 

And the Question being put, That the words pro- 
posed to be left out stand part of the Question ; it 
passed in the Negative. 

And the Question being put, That the words “ it 
appears to this House, that this money has been 
expended under the immediate direction of Mr. 
Vigors, and others connected with the County of 
Carlow, on what may be called legal expenses ; 
or so necessary, that this House see no reason to 
question their legality ; and that the balance was 
absorbed in defending the Return of Mr. Raphael 
and Mr. Vigors before the Committee appoimted 
to investigate it, on the 28th July 1835,” be added 
instead thereof; it was resolved in the Affirmative. 

Then the main Question, so amended, being put ; 

Resolved, That it appears to this House, that this 
money has been expended, under the immediate di- 
rection of Mr. Vigors, and others connected with

reason to question their legality; and that the balance 
was absorbed in defending the Return of Mr. Raphael 
and Mr. Vigors before the Committee appointed to 
investigate it, on the 28th July 1835. 

A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- 
posed, That. it appears that there was between the 
contracting parties a distinct understanding that if 
any surplus should remain after providing for the 
legal expenses of the Election of Mr. Raphael, that 
surplus should be applied in the first place towards 
defraying the expenses of a Petition upon a previous 
Election, and in the next to the fund of the Carlow 
Liberal Club; and that such understanding calls for 
the notice of this House, as liable to serious abuse, 
as of dangerous precedent, and as tending to subvert 
the freedom and purity of Election ; 

And a Motion being made, and the Question being 
put, That the other Orders of the day be now read ; 

The House divided : 

The Yeas to the old Lobby ; 

The Noes to the new Lobby.

PRAYERS. 


S IR Matthew Ridley reported from the Com- 
mittee on the Brandling Railway Bill; That 
the Standing Orders relative to Bills for making 
Railways, had been complied with; that inasmuch 
as the Bill is merely to facilitate the carrying into 
execution an Act already passed, by giving powers 
to a Company for that purpose, and does not con- 
tain any authority to take land or other property, and 
as no variation is proposed to be made in the pre- 
sent Line, the Committee are of opinion, that none 
of the Resolutions of the House of the Ist day of 
March last, except the first, apply to the present Bill; 
and that the Committee had examined the allega-

Lord Viscount Clements reported from the revived 
Committee on the Petition for the Dublin and Kil- 
kenny Railway Bill; and to whom two Petitions, 
complaining of non-compliance with the Standing 
Orders were referred; That the Standing Orders rela- 
tive to Bills for making a had not been com- 
plied with, inasmuch as the Section deposited in 
the Private Bill Office does not specify the levels, 
and describe the same by feet and inches ; and inas- 
much as the List of Owners and Occupiers does not 
state the names of the proprietors who are neuter ; 
and inasmuch as the List lodged in the Private Bill 
Office contains an entry of the Grand Canal Company 
as Proprietors on the Line, but does not state whether 
the said Company assented, dissented or was neuter ; 
but it appeared that a letter was received from the 
secretary of the Grand Canal Company, dated the 
25th of November 1835, acknowledging the receipt 
of an application from the Promoters of the Kilkenny 
Railway, which answer the Railway Committee did 
not know how to interpret, or whether the Grand 
Canal Company would assent, dissent, or remain neu- 
ter, and that this was the ground of their not making 
any entry in the Lists lodged in the Private Bill Office ; 
and further, that the Standing Orders had not been 
complied with, inasmuch as the Subscription List 
lodged in the Private Bill Office does not set forth the 
sums of money respectively subscribed by two of the 
persons appearing in the said Lists, and does not con- 
tain a full description of the places of abode of some 
of the subscribers ; but it appeared to the Commit- 
tee, that the designations of the parties subscribing 
were sufficient to identify them; that further, the 
Standing Orders had not been complied with, inas- 
much as the Section was not lodged with the Clerks 
of the Peace in Jreland before the 30th day of 
November 1835, but such Section was admitted to 
have been lodged previous to or on the 20th day of 
January 1836, and early in the month of December 
1835 every facility of inspection was afforded to the 
parties now petitioning against the Bill; that further, 
the Standing Orders had not been complied with, 
inasmuch as the proposed Railway crosses the 
River Barrow, and it has been admitted, that no 
application for assent or dissent was made to the 
Board of Proprietors of the Navigation of the said 
River till the month of February 1836, but it 
appeared that application was made within the 
proper time to Colonel Rochfort, one of the Di- 
rectors. 

Ordered, That the Report be referred to the Se- 
lect Committee on Standing Orders.

A Petition of Inhabitants of the towns of Worth- 
ampton, Market Harborough and Stamford, and who 
are also Shareholders and Members of the Committee 
of Management of a certain Company, established 
for the formation of a Railway from Leicester, by 
Market Harborough and Northampton, to jom the 
London and Birmingham Railway at or near Blis- 
worth, with a Branch from Market Harborough to 
Stamford, and called “The South Midland Counties 
Railway Company,” was presented, and read; setting 
forth, That the Petitioners, together with many other 
persons, in or about the month of March last, pre- 
sented Petitions to the House, praying that they 
might be heard, by themselves, their counsel, agents 
and witnesses, against so much of a certain Bill then 
and now depending in the House, intituled, “ A Bill for 
making a Ramen, with Branches commencing at 
the London and Birmingham Railway, in the Parish 
of Rugby, in the County of Warwick, to communi- 
cate with the Towns of Leicester, Nottingham and 
Derby, and with the Mansfield and Pinzton Railway, 
to be called the Midland Counties Railway, ’ as relates 
to the extension of the line of the said Railway from 
Leicester to Rugby; that the reasons stated by the 
Petitioners for opposing the said Bill were, amongst 
others, that the line from Leicester to Rugby would 
divert the extensive traffic which has been for a great 
number of years carried on between the metropolis 
and the Midland and Northern Counties from its pre- 
sent direct route through Northampton and Market 
Harborough into another channel, to the great pre- 
judice of the Petitioners; that a Railway might be 
formed from Leicester, by Market Harborouyh and 
Northampton, to join the London and Birmingham 
Railway at Blisworth, which would reduce the dis- 
tance between Leicester and London upwards of five 
miles, as compared with the route proposed to be 
taken by the Midland Company, from Leicester to 
Rugby; that the lme by Harborough and Northamp- 
ton would be made without a tunnel, whereas there 
were no less than four on the line by Rugby, and 
one of them, namely, that at Kilsby, would be upwards 
of a mile and a quarter long, and in other — 
very objectionable to passengers ; and that a Com- 
pany had then lately been formed for the purpose of 
making such Railway by Market Harborough and 
Northampton, with a branch from Market Har- 
borough to Stamford, if they could obtain the sanc- 
tion of Parliament for that purpose; that such 
former Petitions were referred by the House to 
the Committee appointed to consider the provi- 
sions of the said Midland Counties Railway Bill ; 
that the Petitioners accordingly attended, by their 
counsel, agents and witnesses, at the first meeting 
of the said Committee, when an objection was made 
by the promoters of the Bill to the Petitioners being 
heard thereon, as not having a locus standi, and the 
Committee ordered that the Petitioners should be 
allowed to examine witnesses on this point on a future 


day, but that they would not allow counsel to make | 


any observations in support thereof; that the Peti- 
tioners, on the day named, produced their evidence, 
but before the first witness had concluded his exa- 
mination, the Committee intimated to the counsel 
for the Promoters of the Bill, that unless they could 
contradict the statements of the witness, they were 
satisfied the Petitioners had clearly shown themselves 
to be the promoters of a competing line then being 
in contemplation, and consequently entitled, under 


Vou. 91.

the Resolutions lately passed by the House for the 
guidance of Railway Committees, to be heard 
against the Bill ; and the counsel for the Bill, being 
unable to contradict the witness, the Petitioners 
were allowed a locus standi, and admitted: to’ be 
heard accordingly ; that the Petitioners attended, 
with their counsel, agents and witnesses, for eleven 
successive days before the said Committee, and 
during that time, by their counsel, cross-examined 
the witnesses examined in support of the Bill, and 
were required to produce to the Committee a Plan 
and Section of their proposed line of Railway, and 
which was done accordingly, except as to a small 
portion of the said Section; that on Saturday, the 
26th of March last, the Petitioners were informed 
by the Committee that their case would not be gone 
into until after the Easter Recess, and inasmuch as 
the case of other and distinct parties opposing the 
Bill was then immediately proceeded with, the Peti- 
tioners, with their counsel and agents, consequently 
absented themselves from further attending the said 
Committee pending the examination of witnesses by 
the other parties aforesaid ; that on Tuesday, the 
29th day of March, immediately before the rising 
of the Committee for the Easter ; Reson the counsel 
for the Promoters of the Bill, in the absence of the 
Petitioners and their counsel made an application 
to the Committee for an order to the Petitioners to 
deliver to the agents for the Bill a List of the Sub- 
scribers to the Petitioners’ Company, and a Plan 
and Section of their proposed Line, ona Parliamentary 
scale, by the following Saturday; that during the 
time this application was being made, the agent of 
the Petitioners happened accidentally to come into 
the committee-room, whereupon the said agent was 
informed by the Committee of the order they were 
about to make, when the said agent urged that his 
counsel and engineer were absent, and that if the 
Committee thought proper to make such order, he 
hoped they would allow as long a time as possible ; 
that an order was then made by the Committee as 
follows, that is to say, “ Resolved, That the Promoters 
of the contemplated Morthampton Line deliver to 
the agents of the Midland Counties Railway, on or 
before Saturday, a List of Subscribers to their _ 
ject, and the Plan and Section of their Line, on a Par- 
liamentary scale, on or before the Thursday follow- 
ing;” that their said agent immediately proceeded to 
the office of Mr. Giles, the engineer employed b 
the Petitioners, and informed him of the order which 
had been made, and instructed him to spare no 
trouble or expense in complying with the said order, 
if possible, but that Mr. Giles at once said it was 
utterly impossible for him to measure, plot and plan 
such an extent of country within the time mentioned, 
anc that he did not know where to find a sufficient 
number of competent surveyors for the purpose, but 
that he would as quickly as possible complete the 
section of the proposed line, and furnish the pro- 
moters of the Bill with a list of the proprietors over 
whose land the proposed line would pass, and which 
he conceived was all that the promoters of the Bill 
really required, and that he would communicate to 
the engineer for the Bill the impossibility of his com- 
plying literally with this order ; and that Mr. Giles 
did the same evening proceed to the office of the 
engineer for the Bill, for the ot te of making such 
communication, and on finding he had gone into the 
country, he made such communication to a clerk in 
his office; that the List of Shareholders in the com- 
pany of the Petitioners, and whose shares amounted 
to about 400,000/., and upon which the whole de- 
posits had been paid, with a memorandum at the 
foot of such List, stating that applications had been 
made for shares to double the amount of capital 
required (such capital amounting to the sum of 
1,200,000 .), but that the remaining shares had not 
then been allotted was delivered to the agents for 
the Bill in due time, and the List of the Proprietors 
over whose lands the proposed line passed, on the 
ss 3 10th 








318 


10th of April; that on Wednesday, the 13th of April, 
being the day on which the Committee first met 
after the Easter Recess, the Petitioners attended, with 
their counsel, agents and witnesses, and their en- 
gineer was prepared with the section of the line, com- 
pleted on a Parliamentary scale, and with the line 
of the proposed Railway accurately marked out on 
the Ordnance Map, and which the engineer for the 
Bill admitted was sufficient for him or any other 
engineer, to trace the line across the country within 
one hundred or two hundred yards ; that the Peti- 
tioners did not complete a more accurate and minute 
survey of their contemplated line of railway through 
Market Harborough and Northampton, upon a Par- 
liamentary scale, in sufficient time to produce it 
before the Committee, in consequence of negocia- 
tions having been opened between them and the 
directors of the Midland Counties Railway Company, 
the Promoters of the Bill, by which it was agreed 
that the said directors should cause the line proposed 
and contemplated by the Petitioners to be surveyed 
by their own engineer, and that if he should report 
in its favour, it should be adopted by the said di- 
rectors ; which negociations were carried on during 
the whole month of February, and that it was only 
on the first of March that the resolution of the said 
directors not to adopt the said contemplated line 
was communicated to the Petitioners; that in con- 
sequence of the said negociations, and the hopes 
held out thereby that the said contemplated line 
would eventually be adopted by the said directors, 
and the delay consequent thereupon, the Petitioners 
were deprived of the opportunity of completing the 
said detailed plan and section of such line within 
the time limited by the Committee, which, but for 
the said delay so caused as aforesaid, they would 
have been enabled to do; that under these circum- 
stances, Mr. Giles, the engineer employed for the 
Petitioners, stated to the Committee, in his evidence, 
the impossibility of his complying with the order of 
the Committee within the short time limited by such 
order, all the engineers and surveyors he was ac- 
quainted with, and upon whose skill he could place 
reliance, being at this particular time of the year so 
engaged as to be unable to give their immediate and 
undivided attention to a survey of this description, 
and that he knew not where to apply to obtain a 
sufficient number of competent surveyors for the 
purpose; that counsel urged the reasons stated in 
the former Petitions of the Petitioners, why they 
were not in a more forward state with their plans 
and sections, and submitted to the Committee that, 
in the spirit of the Resolutions lately passed by the 
House for the guidance of Railway Committees, 
they should examine the merits of the contemplated 
line by Harborough and Northampton, in reference 
to the interests of the public, if not out of considera- 
tion to the Petitioners, as being the promoters of a 
competing line of railway, but the Committee refused 
to allow the counsel for the Petitioners to open their 
case, or to call any witnesses in support of their pro- 
posed line; that it was admitted in evidence by the 
engineer examined on the part of the Bill, that the 
line contemplated by the Petitioners from Leicester 
by Market Harborough and Northampton, was prac- 
ticable, and upwards of four miles shorter than the 
line proposed by the Midland Company from Zei- 
cester to Rugby; tbat the principal argument used 
betore the Committee by the Promoters of the Bill 
was, that the line by Rugby would open a commu- 
nication for the town of Leicester with Birmingham, 
and the west of England; but the Petitioners are 
prepared to show, that the traflic between those 
places is inconsiderable, compared with the im- 
portance that would attach toa railway communi- 
cation between Stamford and the eastern part of 
the country, with London and the manufacturing 
and coal districts of Leicestershire and Derbyshire, 
and which would be advantageously effected by the 


proposed line by Market Harborough and North-

ampton, and the branch from Market Harborough 
to Stamford ; the Petitioners feel it incumbent upon 
them, both in regard to their own interests and that 
of the public, to represent, for the consideration of 
the House, that the chairman and two other mem- 
bers of the Committee to whom the Midland Counties 
Railway Company’s Bill was referred, and who have 
mete attended the meetings of the Committee, 
are shareholders to a considerable extent in that 
Company; that seldom, if ever, more than fifteen 
or sixteen members attended the meetings of the 
Committee, and on the day when the Petitioners 
were precluded from going into their case, only

withstanding any such contract, be entitled to the 
use and benefit of any of the said Railways, upon 
the same terms and conditions, and upon payment 
of the same tolls, rates and sums as they would 
have been in case no such contract had been 
entered into, nor shall any such contract give any 
preference or advantage to any Company or per- 
son, party thereto, over any other Company or 
person, but al! such Companies and persons so 
contracting shall, notwithstanding such contract, 
pay the same amount of tolls or rates as shall

Indies, agreed to at a Meeting of the said Inha- 
bitants, held at the Town Hall, on the 5th day of 
January 1835, convened by the Sheriff, was pre- 
sented, and read; setting forth, That by the Act 
passed in the third and fourth year of the reign of 
His present Majesty, and intituled, “ An Act for 
effecting an Arrangement with the East India Com- 
pany, and for the better Government of His Majesty's 
Indian Territories, till the 30th day of April 1854,” 
the Petitioners feel aggrieved, masmuch as they 
humbly conceive that only the first of these objects 
has been in any degree attained ; and that, although 
an arrangement very beneficial to the East India 
Company has been effected, such benefit has been 
bestowed at the expense of the inhabitants of India 
of every class, and that no secure or reasonable pro- 
vision whatever has been made for the better govern- 


ment of His Majesty’s Indian Territories; that the | 
arrangement which has been made is one which | 


benefits the East India Company at the expense of 
the inhabitants of India, is plain, from the provisions 
of the 9th section of the said Act, by which the whole 
bond debt of the East India Company in England, 
as well as the debt called the Territorial Debt, and 
every other kind of debt and liability whatever, is 
charged upon the revenues of India, without exa- 
mination of the accounts by which the Debt (so 
called) was made to appear territorial ; whilst it is 
further provided by the same section, that neither 
any stock or effects which the said Company may 
hereafter have to their own use, nor the dividend of 
101. 10s, per cent. by the Act secured to them, nor 
the directors or proprietors, shall be liable to or 
chargeable with any of the then existing debts or 
liabilities ; that such arrangement benefits the East 
India Company alone, is further plain, from the pro- 
visions of the 11th section, by which it is provided, 
that out of the said revenues there shall be paid to 
Vor. 91. 


13° Maiz.

the Company for their own use, a dividend of 101. 10s- 
per cent. half.yearly ; by the provisions of the 12th 
section, by which 2007. sterling is to be paid for 
100/. stock as the price of redemption; by the pro- 
visions of the 13th section, by whi the Company 
is entitled to demand redemption of their stock, at 
the rate aforesaid, in case of their ceasing to retain, 
or being deprived by authority of Parliament of the 
possession and government of the said territories ; 
and, lastly, by the provisions of the 17th section, by 
which the said dividend of 107. 10s. is to be paid 
in preference to all other charges payable in Great 
Britain, which in effect, as the East India Company 
is left in possession of the whole government of Tada, 
and the control of the revenues thereof, is as much 
as to say in preference to all charges whatever; by 
all which enactments, the Petitioners submit, an in- 
justice has been done to the whole body of Zndian 
creditors holding: Government promissory notes, 
given for money unquestionably borrowed on the 
security of the territorial revenues, and on that se- 
curity alone; inasmuch as their security, which was 
expressed in terms, and prior in date, has been sud- 
denly and without an opportunity of objection made 
secondary, inorder to pay the commercial capital of 
the East India Company, with which the commercial 
assets alone were chargeable; while, although the 
dividends on East India Stock are further secured 
to the Proprietors of the Company, by the provisions 
of the 14th and 15th sections of the said Act, creating 
a guarantee fund to accumulate to the amount of 
twelve millions sterling ; the territorial creditors are 
in no wise secured against the injurious effect of o. 
perpetual drain of greatly more than a million and 
a half sterling annually hen India, the revenues of 
which, while decreasing, are thus encumbered with 
an immense additional burthen; that not only has 
injustice been done to the territorial creditors by 
these enactments, but the condition of every man 
and every class of men in Judia is made worse by 
the exorbitant provisions of these sections ; and no 
class of men benefited but the proprietors of the 
East India Company ; for the effect of these enact- 
ments must necessarily be to reduce the salaries of 
the European servants of Government of all descrip- 
tions, so as to render the reward of labour scanty, 
and return to their own country always remote, in 
most cases impossible, to cripple the efforts of the 
merchant, and diminish, commercial activity and 
enterprise by the scarcity of money, which an annual 
drain of capital to such an amount must needs pro- 
duce ; and, finally, to fill the reflecting land-owner 
in Bengal (the country which has hitherto been 
looked to to supply all deficiencies) with a just 
alarm, lest the permanent settlement of the land 
revenue, fixed in 1793 by Lord Cornwallis, should 
also, at some future, yet no distant period, be set 
aside, when it shall become evident to all men that 
the sums charged upon Jndia by this Act cannot be 
paid without increased taxation; that the Petitioners 
are so seriously impressed with the belief that the 
difficulties which must arise in making these pay- 
ments are so great as to be almost insurmountable, 
and the discontents that are likely to be produced 
in the endeavours to meet them, may be so great as 
to be dangerous, that they deem it necessary to 
mention other sources of useless expense, created 
by this Act, that they might not otherwise have 
thought important enough to call to the notice of 
Parliament; that the creation of a new Presidency 
at Agra is calculated apparently for no other end 
than to increase expense and patronage, inasmuch 
as, by the provisions of this Act, all political power 
and responsibility are taken away from the Governor, 
and centered in the Governor General of India; and 
the Petitioners are not aware of any increase of 
benefit to be expected in the civil administration of 
the Upper Provinces of the Presidency, that can 
compensate for the increase of aeet which is 
beyond doubt; that the extension of episcopal ests

blishments of the Church of England (even though, 
as the Petitioners admit, the extension has not been 
as yet effected on an expensive scale) is still an en- 
tirely useless burthen,and, moreover,a grievance laid 
upon the great body of the people of India ; and 
the Petitioners submit, that if such extension of 
episcopal establishments be deemed of importance 
by the people of England, that the expense thereof 
should be paid out of the dividends of 10/. 10s. per 
cent. on India stock, or otherwise provided for by 
Parliament out of the revenues of England ; that 
the Petitioners submit, that the only legitimate 
object of taxation is civil government, defence and 
improvement of the country to be taxed; that the 
only legitimate object of extension of territory or 
colonization, is the extension of knowledge, civiliza- 
tion, trade and commerce ; that, whilst roads, canals 
and public institutions are almost unknown through- 
out India, whilst it wants nearly all that art and 
science can do to promote the prosperity of a country, 
more of its surplus produce than ever will be by the 
provisions of this Act sent to England for the ad- 
vantage of an English company of proprietors, or 
applied to objects alike foreign to its usages, its 
people and its interests, and wholly unnecessary for 
the purposes of good government; that while the 
financial consequences of the arrangement with the 
East India Company, and the other provisions of the 
Act before noticed, are most burthensome and preju- 
dicial to the inhabitants of His Majesty’s Indian terri- 
tories, they can find in the other provisions of this 
Statute no secure or reasonable provision for their 
better government ; that this is the case seems plain 
to the Petitioners, from a summary of the changes 
effected by this Act, and which the Petitioners sup- 
pose are intended to be the securities provided by 
the wisdom of Parliament for their better govern- 
ment; that, as far as the changes im that part of 
the government of Jndia which is carried on in 
England are concerned, it appears to the Petitioners 
that the whole material difference consists in this, 
that by the twentieth section of the Act, two more 
of the Cabinet Ministers of the Crown are made ez- 
officio Members of the Board of Commissioners forthe 
Affairs of Jndia, and all real and substantial political 
powers (except that arising from the possession of 
patronage) are transferred to the Board of Control 
from the Court of Directors; that, with respect to 
patronage and the power of nomination to the civil 
and military service of the East India Company, the 
Government of Jndia remains, as appears to the 
Petitioners, in precisely the same state that it was 
in before the passing of this Act, for the whole 
result that can be expected from the complex and 
numerous provisions of the 103d, 104th, 105th, 
106th, 107th, 108th and 109th sections (if any 
material result at all can be expected), is, that the 
government of the Institution or College of Hay- 
leybury may possibly be improved, while all other 
matters relative to the granting and distribution of 
such appointments are left unchanged, and the civil 
service remains as exclusive and segregated from the 
national and all other establishments of education 
as before; so that the provisions of the 87th section 
of the Act, whereby it is enacted that no native of 
the said territories, nor any natural-born subject of 
His Majesty resident therein, shall, by reason only 
of his religion, place of birth, descent, colour, or any 








ment have the right, or can exercise the power, of 


appointing a single individual to any office in the 

civil, military or medical service of the country 

however great may be his claims, or however valu- 

able the services performetl by his family; that the 

Petitioners submit, that this mode of appointment 

to public employments is obnoxious in principle and 

injurious in practice, and that it would be more just 

and convenient to remunerate the services of the 

Directors of the East India Company by competent 

and liberal salaries than to continue a system so 

faulty and invidious, which gives them a power over 
public appointments commonly exercised on the 

same principles as if they were dealing with matters 

of private property ; that, as far as the Act affects 
the local government of India, its effects upon the 

inhabitants of the country may be thus not unfairly 
characterized, viz. that the inhabitants of Calcutta, 

and every Englishman throughout the Presidency, 
have been deprived of the security they before pos- 
sessed, that no local law repugnant to the law of 
England should be imposed upon them, while the 
great body of the people have gained no additional 
security for better government whatever ; that, so far 
as the inhabitants of Calcutta of all classes, and all 
Englishmen not in the service of the East India 
Company, are affected by the provisions of this Act, 
they find the security they have enjoyed for more 
than a century by the establishment of Courts of 
Justice created by Royal Charter and the authority 
of Parliament, and proceeding on the known maxims 
of English law, threatened by the extraordinary 
provisions of the 46th section, which declares that 
it shall not be lawful for the Governor General in 
Council, without the previous sanction of the Court 
of Directors, to make any law or regulation whereby 
power shall be given to any Courts of Justice other 
than the Courts of Justice established by His Ma- 
jesty’s Charters, to sentence to the punishment of 
death any of His Majesty’s natural-born subjects, 
born in Europe, or the children of such subjects, or 
which shall abolish any of the Courts of Justice 
established by His Majesty’s Charters; that the 
Petitioners of all classes, nhabitants of Calcutta, are 
most desirous to retain the security they derive from 
the institution of the Supreme Court of Judicature, 
and the Petitioners, who are natural-born subjects of 
His Majesty, born in Europe, and now in the East 
Indies, respectfully, but still with firmness, main- 
tain that they are entitled to the protection and sup- 
port of the law of England, in common with all 
other Englishmen, having committed no fault for 
which they should be deprived of them; and they 
further maintain, that it would be a breach of the 
law of England, and the maxims which have always 
governed the conduct of Parliament, to suppose 
that a body of Englishmen could be deprived of 
every political right and personal security, and sub- 
jected to the punishment of death, even without 
trial by jury, provided the previous sanction of the 
Court of Directors were obtained to such pro- 
ceedings ; that the Petitioners, who were born in 
the United Kingdom, can see no pretence of reason 
for depriving them of the security of their own law 
in this country, while their Mahomedan and Hindoo 
fellow subjects of the crown are still left, and must 
be left, to enjoy their own; that, while the Peti- 
tioners affirm that they have been deprived of secu- 


of them, be disabled from holding any place, office | rities, and the great body of the people of India 
or employment under the said Company, seem likely | have gained no additional security for good govern- 
to be confined in their effect during the period of | ment, they are well aware that the termination put 


twenty years to come, to the barren assertion of a 


| to the commercial existence of the East India Com- 


principle that indisputably ought to prevail in all | pany, the opening to the people of England of the 
Governments ; that, in consequence of the omis- | trade to China, and the permission to Englishmen to 


sions of this Act, the power of appointment to the 
public service still remains attached as a personal 
perquisite to the individuals composing the Court 


‘settle in the provinces which composed the Presi- 
'dency on the 1st January 1800, are advantages

cannot, on a candid examination of this Act,

the people of England, and that the permission 
to reside without license is rendered insecure and 
valueless by the uncertain state in which the laws 
respecting Englishmen seem purposely left; and 
that, finally, the injustice under which that country 
labours, in having extremely high and almost pro- 
hibiting Duties imposed on one of its staple produc- 
tions (sugar), and by many other vexatious com- 
mercial restrictions and unjust differences, is still 
unremoved, and the several West Indian Colonies 
are benefited at their expense, an inequality the 
more striking, since, in the course of the same 
Session in which this Act passed, there was be- 
stowed on the West Indian Colonies, at the expense 
of England, a compensation for the loss of slave 
property to the amount of twenty millions sterling ; 
while, by this Act, annual burthens to a sum 
which it would require nearly twenty millions to 
redeem, were laid on Jndia tor the benefit of one 
English Company, and no compensation whatever 
afforded ; that no additional security for better 
government has been gained by any class of men in 
India, the Petitioners cunceive is further plain, from 
the following facts, viz. that by the 43d section of the 
Act, an absolute power of legislating is given to the 
Governor General in Council, with no proviso that 
saves the rights of any man, or class of men, but only 
a proviso (deemed necessary, as it would seem, by 
Parliament) to save the prerogative of the Crown, and 
supremacy of Parliament itself, from destruction or 
diminution, by the legislative powers of the Governor 
General in Council ; that the provisions for the repeal 
or disallowance of any obnoxious laws that may be 
made in pursuance of such prodigious power, still 
rests, as it did in substance before, with the Minis- 
ters of the Crown; that the provisions of the 46th 
section afford no protection to the class for which it 
legislates, and that the provisions of the 47th section 
for promulgating future laws do not prescribe even 
the very scanty security under the authority of Par- 
liament of a publication of laws for a reasonable 
period previous to their enactment, which has been 
granted even to Ceylon, a country nearly or similarly 
situated with India; while the provision of the 40th 
section, that one legislative member of the Council 
of India is not to be a member of the Company’s 
service, must be looked upon as no security at all, 
since it will be the Board of Control and the Minis- 
ters of the Crown who will henceforward be com- 
mitted by a previous approval of the future legis- 
lation of India to its support, and not the Directors 
of the East India Company; that, moreover, as 
appears to the Petitioners, any consideration of the 
constitution of the new Council of India, in its legis- 
lative capacity, is rendered of no importance by the 
provisions of the 49th section, by which in effect the 
Governor General of Jndia for the time being is 
rendered the sole legislator, responsible only to the 
Ministers of the Crown in the first instance, with 
such possible responsibility to Parliament as even, 
at such a distance, may be supposed by some to 
exist; that, in the judgment of the Petitioners, the 
result of all these provisions, which they suppose to 
be intended to secure their better government, must 
be characterized by the same terms nearly as those 
they have employed to characterize the provisions 
for effecting an arrangement with the East India 
Company, viz. that, while the great body of the 
people of India has received no additional security 
for good government whatever, the body of English- 
men resident there has been deprived of one most 
valuable to them ; so that no men are the better for 
these provisions of the Act, but the Ministers of the 
Crown, who have acquired additional, and in India, 
by delegation, almost absolute and uncontrolled

that something better for all was to replace them ; 
that the constitution of a Legislative Council might 
easily have been rendered more popular and more 
useful, for the Petitioners are persuaded, that in all 
the Presidencies many men could be found, out of 
the pale of the East India Company’s service, whose 
knowledge would prove most valuable in the task 
of legislation ; and though the Petitioners do not at 
present assume to point out with whom the power 
of selection should reside, yet they do solicit that a 
less exclusive body of men, and some possessing 
local property and knowledge, should be added to 
assist the Legislative Council in all matters relating 
to the making of general laws, even though the 
selection should for the present remain with the 
Governor General in Council; and further, that the 
plain and obvious security of a previous publication 
for a reasonable period of time of all proposed laws 
before their enactment should be given to the people 
of India, and means provided by which they could 
lawfully, peaceably, without offence, and with the 
sanction of Government, meet to make known their 
objections to such proposed laws, before their enact- 
ment, and be heard on such objections before the 
Legislative Council ; and that, whatever may be the 
constitution of the proposed Legislative Council, their 
proceedings may be made public at least, if not pub- 
licly conducted ; that the Petitioners therefore pray, 
that the House will be pleased to take in its delibe- 
rate consideration the Ringing matters, and apply 
such remedies, by amendments of this Act, and new 
enactments, as shall seem calculated to remove the 
evils complained of by the Petitioners, to retain the 
securities for their rights and for good government 
they always had, and really to improve their con- 
dition.

“ expenses of collecting, preparing for sale and 
“ marketing the great or small Tithes respectively 
“ shall exceed Forty pounds, for every One hun- 
“ dred pounds of such gross value of the same 
“ Tithes taken in kind, or if it shall appear to the 
“ said Assistant Commissioner, by reason of any 
“ charges imposed by Parliament on any lands for 
“ dramage or embankment, or by reason of any 
“ other special cir¢umstances, that the sum of Sixt 
“ pounds for every One hundred pounds of suc 
“ gross value of the Tithes, if taken in kind, is more 
“ than has been paid as aforesaid, and more than 
ought to be taken for calculating a permanent 
“ commutation of the said Tithes, it shall be lawful 
for the said Assistant Commissioner to make a 
“ special report, setting forth all the material cir- 
“ cumstances of the case to the said Commissioners; 
“ and it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, upon 
“ the receipt of any such report, if they shall think 
fit, to direct some Assistant Commissioner to hear 
“ all the parties interested in the said Tithes on a 
day or days to be appointed by the Commis- 
“ sioners, or Assistant Commissioner for that pur- 
pose, and thereupon to make such order concern- 
ing the sum to be taken for calculating a perma- 
nent commutation of the said Tithes as to them

tioned in such Petition; and that noland belonging

And the said Determinations were ordered to be 
entered in the Journals of this House. 

Ordered, That the Clerk of the Crown do attend 
this House forthwith, with the last Return for the 
City of Dublin, and amend the same, by rasing out 
the Names of Daniel O’ Connell, and Edward South- 
well Ruthven, Esquires, and inserting the Names of 
George Alexander Hamilton, and John Beatty West, 
Esquires, instead thereof. 

the Clerk of the Crown, attending according to 
Order, amended the Return for the City of Dublin. 


Mr. John Mazweil also reported to the House, 
That the said Select Committee had come to the fol- 
lowing Resolutions, which they had directed him to 
report : 

Resolved, That the Committee feel it to be their 
duty specially to report to the House, that eight per- 
sons, namely, Matthew Madden, George Osborn, 
Patrick Finucane, Oliver Richards, John Forsyth, 
Charles Dempsey, James Baldwin, and Andrew 
Hutchinson, were struck off the Poll as having voted 
under a corrupt expectation, and having subse- 
quently received money; but the Committee are 
unanimously of opinion, that there is no evidence 
that Messieurs West and Hamilton, for whom they 
voted, were either directly or indirectly implicated 
in such corrupt practices. 

Resolved, That the Committee further consider it 
their duty to make known to the House, That they 
have found a very general irregularity to prevail in 
the assessment and collection of Municipal Taxes in 
Dublin; and that from the absence of all public 
notice of their imposition, the uncertainty attending 
their collection, and the liability to payment, at- 
taching in many instances to various occupiers of 
the same premises, the exercise of the franchise is 
frequently subject to impediments and difficulties, 
which the Committee cannot believe were contem- 
plated by the Legislature. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table.

Colonel Lygon reported from the Committee on 
the Petition for the Worcester County Hall Bill; 
That the Standing Orders relative to Bills regarding 
County Rates, had not been complied with; but 
it appeared to the Committee, that the committee

new County Hall were not aware, until very lately, 
that the sum which by the former Act they were 
empowered to raise, was insufficient for the entire 
completion of the building, and supplying the same 
with furniture; and should the proposed Bill be 
deferred till another Session, the progress of the 
work must be suspended, and the county put to 
considerable inconvenience, and ultimately, it is ap- 
prehended, will be put to a great expense; and that 
the Committee had examined the matter of the 
Petition.

rtion of the recent views and determinations of His 
Sisiante’&gt; Government, in so far as it has been pos- 
sible for them to become acquainted with them; they 
pray the House to believe in their sincerity ; they 
desire, as the representatives of a people who have 
even in times of difficulty shown a strong attach- 
ment to the British Empire, not to forget the senti- 
ments of respect they owe to the House, and which 
its high attributes require ; but at the same time it 
would be culpable in them to sanction by their 
silence any misconception with regard to the nature 
of the improvement and reforms required, or to the 
constitutional and practical system of government 
which they desire to see established in that province, 
and which they believe to be equally in accordance 
with the true principles of the constitution, the in- 
contestible rights of the inhabitants of that province, 
and their natural and social position, and with their 
wishes, interests and necessities; when they solemnly 
repeat, that the principal object of the political re- 
forms, which the House of Assembly and the people 
of that province have for a great number of years 
used every effort to obtain, and which have frequently 
been detailed to the House, is to extend the elective 
principle to the Legislative Council, a branch of the 
provincial legislature, which, by its opposition to the 
people, and by reason of its imperfect and vicious 
constitution, has proved insufficient to perform the 
functions for which it was originally created ;—to 
render the executive council directly responsible to 
the representatives of the people, conformably to the 
principles and practice of the British Constitution 
as established in the United Kingdom ;—to place 
under the wholesome and constitutional control of 
the House of Assembly the whole public revenue 
raised in that province, he whatever source derived ; 
—to obtain the repeal of certain Acts passed by the 
Parliament of the United Kingdom, in which the 
people of that province are not represented, with 
regard to the internal affairs of that province, making 
its territory and best resources the subject of unfair 
speculation and monopoly, and which they hold to 
be a violation of the rights of the legislature and of 
the people of that province ;—to ensure equal rights 
and impartial justice to all classes of the inhabitants 
of that province ;—to abolish sinecures and the accu- 
mulation of incompatible offices ;—to redress the 
numerous abuses which prevail in the various depart- 
ments of the public service ;—to obtain for the pro- 
vincial legislature, with regard to the mternal affairs 
of the province, and more especially over the ma- 
nagement and settlement of the waste lands thereof, 
for the benefit of all classes of His Majesty’s sub- 
jects, without distinction, that essential control, 
which would be the direct consequence of the prin- 
ciples of the constitution ; when, they say, they re- 
spectfully repeat to the House these their demands, 
and declare their firm intention to persevere in asking 
them, as being alone calculated to ensure the liberty, 
peace and welfare of that province, and the con- 
fidence of the people in the government, and to 
cement their political union with the United Empire, 
they can scarcely fear that they should not be un- 
derstood by the an: they will, however, add to 
their humble declarations some new facts, which 
must tend yet more to convince the House of the 
justice of what they ask, and of the correctness of 
the view they take of the common interest of the 
mother country, and of that colony. They are bound 
in the first place to express their satisfaction at the 
recall of the head of the executive government, and 
at the appointment as his successor of a distinguished 
personage, who, independently of his qualifications 
as an individual, of which they have no motive for 
doubting, was, from his previous habits and position, 
more likely to comprehend their wishes and their 
wants. At the opening of the present session of the 
provincial Parliament, they had to applaud the prin- 
ciples of order and justice announced in the speech 


delivered from the throne, by his excellency the Go- 
Vox. 91.

vernor in Chief of that province, on divers matters 
connected with the administration of the government, 
and which might become the subject of their deli- 
berations ; in their firm hope that the efforts of His: 
Majesty’s Government to do full justice to the people 
of that country, would be continued without relaxa 
tion, in a spirit of enlightened liberality, they have 
by their answer shown that confidence could still 
exist on their part, and on that of the people in His 
Majesty’s Government ; they believed so much the 
more firmly, that the declarations of which they have 
just spoken, and the extraordinary attributions and 
circumstances which accompanied the usual powers 
of His Majesty’s representative, were their own gua- 
rantees that the essential and vital subjects which were 
only spoken of to them as matters for the future deli- 
beration and decision of His Majesty and Parliament, 
would be looked at in the same comprehensive spirit, 
and with the same views, and, above all, that the 
researches and determinations adapted to throw light 
on the solution of these weighty questions, would not 
be restrained by any formal refusal of the demands 
which were to form the matter of investigation, nor 
by any final determination to maintain at all events 
the pretensions raised from time to time on divers 
subjects of colonial policy by His Majesty’s respon- 
sible ministers, and which called forth the remon- 
strances of the House of Assembly and the people ; 
matters which, as His Majesty was pleased to assure 
them, were to be equally the subject of research and 
deliberation ; they thought, that without bringing 
forward unjust and inapplicable theories of metro- 
politan domination and colonial abasement, without 
recurring to a system proved false by memorable 
examples, regard would be had exclusively to the 
principles of the constitution, the mutual interests 
of all parties, and the peace, welfare, rights, wishes 
and wants of these important portions of the British 
dominions ; it could therefore only be with lively 
anxiety that they were brought to suppose, from the 
knowledge which reached them, at first indirectly, 
and afterwards by the official channel, of certain ex- 
tracts from a despatch dated the 17th July 1835, 
addressed by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of 
State for the Colonies, to certain persons in Lower 
Canada (unacquainted as they moreover are with 
the tenor of the other parts of the same document, 
and with any subsequent instructions) that in pomt 
of fact, the researches authorized by His Majesty, 
for the purpose of ascertaining the means of domg 
justice to His Canadian subjects, were on several 
of the most essentia! pomts limited by preconceived 
opinions and anticipated decisions im the manner 
hereinbefore set forth ; they are bound on this head 
to declare, that in the face of obstacles like these, 
if His Majesty’s Government should persist in main- 
taining them, and without the assent of the mother 
country, to the essential reforms they expect, no 
measures of minor importance can have the effect 
desired ; that the delay occasioned by the investiga- 
tions announced, will serve only to embolden the 
enemies of the people of that province and of His 
Majesty’s Government in their hopes of dissension 
and violence, and that the best intentions, or even 
acts on the part of the head of the provincial exe- 
cutive, even in conjunction with the efforts of the 
House of Assembly, and of the people, might be 
wrecked in contending against the deep rooted 
system of vice and abuse which has robbed His Ma- 
jesty’s government in that province of all efficiency 
and respect, and has endangered the liberties and 
safety of the inhabitants of Canada. At the head of 
the reforms which they persist in considering as 
essential, is the imtroduction of the principle of 
popular election into the constitution of the Legis- 
lative Council; the people of the country, without 
distinction, regard this body, as at present constituted, 
as factiously opposed to its institutions, its state of 
society, its feelings and its wants, and as having 
been and as being necessarily the strong-hold of 
3A4 oppression 








368 


oppression and abuses; they continue in like manner 
to believe that any partial reform which shall stop 
short of the introduction of the elective principle, 
will be altogether insufficient, and will, as leaving 
the inherent vice untouched, brmg back the same 
evils and the same collisions. They think that, with 
regard to the constantly baneful action of the legis- 
lative council, they have amply explained themselves 
to the House, and that no other proof that the past 
and present acts of that body, is needed to remove 
all doubt as to the nature and spirit of the improve- 
ments to be introduced into it; they look, in this 
respect upon the Act of 1791, giving legislators for 
life to the Canadian provinces, at the mere pleasure 
of the executive authority, as an unfortunate experi- 
ment, followed by most unhappy consequences; they 
also look upon this experiment as entirely — 
to the British constitution. They regret that in the 
extracts from the despatches they have mentioned, 
an attempt is made, by begging the question, to infer 
an analogy which does not exist, for the purpose of 
aggravating certain specious objections agamst an 
elective council; they would respectfully pray the 
House to remark, that the influence which prevailed 
in the councils of the Empire, at the period when the 
Act of 1791 was passed, was calculated to give an 
undue preponderance to the aristocratic principle, 
while in America, the independent state and the 
progress of society, repelled any doctrine of this 
nature, and demanded the extension of the contrary 
principle ; they must also express their regret, that 
while His Majesty’s representative in that province 
has solicited the co-operation of the two houses of 
the provincial legislature to labour at the reform of 
abuses, and while the House of Assembly is fully 
disposed to grant that co-operation, the constant 
opposition of the legislative council is of a nature to 
prevent so important an appeal from being followed 
by any result; for themselves, they are conscious 
that they have ever been and are still guided in their 
labours by their conviction of what was for the 
greatest advantage of the people, and best adapted 
to cause His Majesty’s government in that province 
to be respected, cherished and strengthened ; and, 
firm in their determination to pursue the same course, 
they pray the House to believe that they will not 
depart from it; they are not ignorant that some 
individuals interested in the maintenance of bad go- 


vernment, and accustomed to a system of ascendancy 
and domination, pretend that harmony might be 
established between the constituted authorities in 
that province, by introducing in its territorial limits, 
or in the representation of the people, violent changes, 
of which the sole end would be to ee a numerous 


portion of His Majesty’s subjects of a due participa- 
tion in the advantages of the constitution, and to 
establish invidious political preferences, as a prelude 
to the subversion of the institutions of the province, 
at the very time when His Majesty’s government is 
proclaiming principles of equal justice to all, and 
acknowledges the excellence of their institutions ; 
they rely too much on the honour of the government 
to believe in the possibility of attempts which would 
destroy all the ties that bind the people to Great 
Britain, and would force them to regret their alle- 
giance ; they cannot, however, but express their 
regret, that in the extracts already mentioned, as well 
as in several other instances, it has appeared as if 
the same importance was attached to the calumnious 
representations of a small number of individuals, 
supporting the abuses of past administrations, as to 
the solemn deliberations and unvarying opinions of 
the representatives of the people, who form a branch 
of the legislature, which no prejudice against their 
origin can succeed in causing to be regarded as less 
essential than the other and co-ordinate branch. In 
this systematic practice of assimilating a recognized 
authority, acting in a constitutional capacity, to the 
disorderly passions which seek to overthrow it, the 
people of that country might in the end see a desire

to misunderstand the essence and unity of the popular 
principle acting in the government, while the aristo- 
cratic principle is upheld, by attaching it to the 
legislative council, as if it were part of the essence 
of the constitution itself; they have at least the 
satisfaction of seeing that the great body of the in- 
habitants of that province, of every creed and of 
every origin, are satisfied with the share they have 
in the provincial representation, and that their fellow 
subjects of the less numerous origin in particular, 
acknowledge the spirit of justice and brotherly love 
with which they have endeavoured to ensure to all 
the inhabitants of the country a participation in its 
political and natural advantages ; they perceive in 
this happy union another guarantee of good govern- 
ment, and an antidote against the tortuous policy, 
which it is sought to support by unjust distinctions. 
Even admitting, in opposition to principles and to 
facts, that the legislative council of Zower Canada 
had some analogy to the House of Lords, it would 
not follow that the constitution of the said council 
ought not to undergo any change, when such change 
had become necessary to the stability of the govern- 
ment, and to the common welfare of the people ; 
since the happy modifications in the institutions of 
the United Sapien, which have assured to seven 
millions of men their civil and political rights, which 
have dispensed with intolerant tests, and have purified 
and equalized the representation of the people, 
although opposed at first by the powers of the day, 
as contrary to the constitution, found at length their 
place in the statute book, to the great benefit of His 
Majesty’s Government,and of His Majesty’s subjects. 
What theinhabitants ofthe three Kingdomsasked and 
obtained for themselves, under given circumstances, 
the Petitionersask forthemselves under circumstances 
very little dissimilar, and they believe that when they 
shall have obtained them, the constitution will have 
lost nothing of its essence or of its efficiency, but 
will, on the contrary, have acquired an element of 
strength and activity, rendering it more fit to attain 
the object of its institution, the happiness and con- 
tentment of the people. Respecting as they do the 
expression of the royal pleasure, they yet regret that 
the Ministers of the Crown should have declared 
that His Majesty was most unwilling to admit that 
the question of an elective legislative council was 
a subject open to debate in that ane nee ; they beg 
to be permitted to represent to the House, that it is 
not within the province of the Colonial Secretary to 
limit the subjects which are to engage the attention 
of the House of Assembly, and the people it repre- 
sents, within the required forms, with the view of 
improving the laws and condition of the province. 
Against this infringement of the liberties of the 
subject, by one of the responsible servants of the 
Crown, they dare to appeal to the supreme autho- 
rity of the empire, to that of the high court of 
Parliament. They do not intend to discuss the 
historical points of English colonial government 
on which they venture to differ with His Majesty’s 
Ministers. Time has solved the problem, and they 
firmly believe that those happy countries to which 
these questions refer, would never have attained the 
degree of prosperity which they now enjoy, either 
under the old colonial government, or under a system 
like that which successive Colonial Ministers have 
established and maintained in that colony. On the 
subject of the Executive Council, they abstain from 
entering on any details, because they hold this ques- 
tion to be closely connected in practice with the other 
more important subjects of colonial policy; they 
confine themselves to saying, that the full and entire 
recognition of the rights of the House of Assembly, 
and of the people, bythose whom His Majesty may be 
pleased to call to His councils, and their constitutional 
responsibility based upon the practice of the United 
Kingdom, will be essential motives for confidence in 
His Majesty’s Government. They have also asked, 
and they now again ask, for the repeal of certain 

noxious 








6 Witt. IV. 


noxious Acts, of which the people of the country 
have complained ; they wish, among others, to men- 
tion the Act of sixth year of our late Sovereign King 
George the Fourth, chapter 59, commonly called “the 
Tenures’ Act,” and also the more recent Act granting 
certain privileges to a company of individuals residing 
chiefly in London, whose object is to make the lands 
of that province a subject of speculation. With regard 
to the former of these Acts, its nature and its effects, 
their complaints have been so detailed, and so 
numerous, that they abstain from repeating them ; 
they will. only add, that recent decisions of the 
superior tribunals of the country have refused any 
validity to the proceedings of the pretended court of 
Escheats established by the said Act, which has in 
fact merely served as a pretext for creating several 
sinecures, paid out of the public revenue of that 
province, and which they have not recognized, and 
will never recognize. They pray the House, then, 
that being at length convinced of the baneful effects 
of the said Act, on the social institutions of that 
province, the common rights of its inhabitants, and 
the settlement of the waste lands therein, without 
its containing one redeeming beneficial provision, 
but when, on the contrary, it has tended pa ws to fa- 
vour the seignor, while it professes to be intended 
for the relief of the mass of the sensitaires, it may 
please the House to concur with the other branches 
of the Parliament in effecting the immediate repeal 
of the said Act, in order that the provincial legisla- 
ture may be no longer prevented from enacting laws 
(as it has the right to do) on the numerous subjects 
which it has been pretended to regulate by the said 
Act, and in order that they in particular, as one 
branch of that legislature, may do justice in that 
behalf to their constituents, in a manner adapted to 
their interests and their wants, with which they have 
better means of being acquainted than any authority 
sitting without that province. On the subject of the 
latter of the said Acts, they have, as well before it 
was passed, and with the knowledge and approba- 
tion of His Majesty’s Ministers while it was in pro- 
gress through the Houses of Parliament, as since 
that time, made equally numerous representations. 
They know that one of the effects of this Act, besides 
authorizing monopoly in improved lands, already 
owned and occupied by the people of that province, 
has been to confirm the illegal sale of nearly a mil- 
lion of acres of the waste lands, of that province, 
made to the said company, in addition to the unusual 
privileges it confers on the said company, with regard 
to the application of the proceeds of the said sale,— 
privileges which belong solely to the provincial legis- 
lature, whose powers have been therein usurped. This 
subject is also closely connected with the incontest- 
ible right of British subjects inhabiting that pro- 
vince, and of those who come to settle therein, not 
to be taxed without their free consent expressed 
through their representatives, The said sale has also 
rendered impossible the free settlement of the most 
advantageous portion of the accessible lands, and, 
properly speaking, the only portion of these lands 
which had escaped the action of the system of fraud, 
speculation and monopoly which the servants of His 
Majesty’s Government in that province have con- 
stantly maintained in this department. They humbly 
believe, that, independently of the high considera- 
tions aforesaid, an essential point of the public law 
of the country has been lost sight of, namely, that 
the waste lands of that province are not of the same 
nature as the hereditary and patrimonial property 
belonging to the crown, any more than they had that 
character when they were held by his Most Christian 
Majesty; they formed then, and they deem that they 
form at this day, part of the public domain of the 
State, which in the several dependencies of the em- 
pire, is committed to His Majesty’s paternal care, 
for the benefit of their inhabitants and of other sub- 
jects of the empire who may wish to settle therein, 


and is subject to the supreme authority of Parlia- 
Von, 91.

ment; and they conceive that in that province the 
provincial Parliament is fully and exclusively in- 
vested with this authority, the exercise of which 
they will never willingly renounce; they believe 
they have given too many proofs that they are per- 


g| fectly disposed to exercise it for the advantage of all 


classes of His Majesty’s subjects, to render it pos- 
sible that any consideration foreign to the laws and 
constitution, should induce the Parliament of the 
United Kingdom or His Majesty’s Ministers, for- 
cibly to abridge on this point the rights of the pro- 
vincial Parliament. If other arguments than those 
drawn from constitutional law, and from the public 
law of the country, were requisite to demonstrate the 
correctness of the view they take of this question , 
they would say, that in practice, other portions of 
the public domain of that province, which were a 
source of profit at an earlier period, have continued 
to be administered as having precisely the same 
character as before the cession of the country; that 
in divers instances no objection has been raised to 
various acts of the provincial Parliament on matters 
therewith connected; and that from the moment 
when the very act which defines the forms of their 
present constitution went into operation (a circum- 
stance which cannot but have weight with the 
House), His Majesty’s Government has recognized 
the nature and destination of the waste lands of that 
province, by the very circumstance of reserving, and 
continuing to this day to reserve, a seventh part 
thereof, to belong more particularly to the Crown, 
and to be under its special control. Instead of this 
seventh, the executive authorities have taken pos- 
session of the whole of these lands, of which the 
have disposed for the personal advantage of their 
members, and of their friends and subalterns, for 
the purpose of planting corruption in the representa- 
tion, and among the people, of securing an undue 
irresponsibility in the provincial administrations, and 
of withdrawing them altogether from the control and 
influence of the House of Assembly. To justify their 
former waste, and to retain the same means of bad 
government for the future, the same authorities esta- 
blished as a doctrine what had theretofore been only 
a culpable act, and these pretensions, rendered 
powerful by their own effects, have unhappily made 
their way to His Majesty’s throne, and to the Su- 
preme Council of the United Kingdom. Under the 
ancient government of Canada, the settlement of 
the wild lands, under a system as regular and easy 
as possible, and adapted to the circumstances of the 
climate, the laws, manners and locality, by the then 
inhabitants, and by others of their fellow subjects 
who come to settle among them, was regarded as a 
point so essential, that a great portion of the ancient 
law of the country relates to this subject, and lays 
down rules which ensure the right of the population 
to obtain lots of land for the purpose of cultivating 
them, and which establish the relative rights of all 
parties interested ; they conceive, that the power of 
ensuring the efficiency of these laws, of modifying 
them or enacting others in their stead, in case of 
need, has devolved solely upon the provincial Par- 
liament ; they regret, that since the change of domi- 
nion, the exactions of certain seignors and the undue 
favours which have been conferred on others under 
the Tenures’ Act, on the one hand, and the preten- 
sions of the executive to dispose of these lands with- 
out control, on the other hand, have entirely nulli- 
fied the advantages which were best adapted to 
advance the moral and physical welfare of the people, 
and to give stability to their institutions and to their 
political existence, as a happy and affectionate por- 
tion of His Majesty’s subjects; they are sure that 
the —— of Canada, of whatever origin, have 
equally had reason to complain of the vices and 
abuses above mentioned; they cannot believe, that 
while rights so essential were recognized and re- 
spected under an absolute monarchicai government, 
the operation of the British constitution, though 
3B imperfect 





370 


imperfect ir. its application to that province, will be 
absolutely insufficient to maintain them. The House 
cannot but know that the climate of that portion of 
the world, and other peculiar causes, render the 
clearing of lands, in order to bring them under cul- 
tivation, one of the chief resources of the surplus 
population of the oldsettlements,and the surest mode 
of investing the very moderate capital possessed by 
the people of the country; the resources which the 
waste lands would afford in point of revenue, under 
a wise system of management established under the 
authority of the provincial Parliament, would be 
equally necessary as a provision for the support of 
the provincial government, and for the completion 
of the numerous local improvements made requisite 
by the increase of the population, the emigration 
from the United Kingdom, and the state of a rising 
country ; these resources are so important in both 
these respects, that if left to the unrestrained dis- 
posal of the executive, they would destroy the 
constitution, purchase the adherence of men made 
powerful by the authority vested in them, and give 
the administration ample pecuniary means equiva- 
lent to the other revenues of the province, and con- 
sequently the power of governing arbitrarily in defi- 
ance of the authority of the legislature. They state, 
as a fact, that such has been in effect the system 
which has prevailed in that province, and has been 
an inexhaustible source of evils and abuses. The 

attach so much importance to this subject, that they 
are firmly of opinion, that without the legislative and 
constitutional authority of the provincial Parliament 
over the lands of the provincial domain, and the re- 
venue arising from them the power vested in the 
legislature to make laws for the peace, welfare and 
good government of that province would be alto- 
gether nugatory. The House may infer from this, 
how much they differ rom His Majesty’s Minister, 
when in one of the extracts from despatches above- 
mentioned, while commenting on the tenure of public 
offices in the province, in a manner which seems to 
them but little applicable to the subject, he appears 
to wish to curtail the influence of the representatives 
of the people over the persons composing the admi- 
nistration, because the House of Assembly must be 
animated by the spirit of the people, while they re- 
gard this latter circumstance as a most fortunate 
one, and as a pledge for the due and efficient con- 
duct of public officers, and for the security of those 
whose affairs they administer; they therefore pray 
the House to be pleased so to act as to procure the 
repeal of the said Act passed in favour of the land 
company, and also to adopt constitutional means for 
annulling all the undue privileges incompatible with 
the rights of that province, which it is the object of 
the said Act to confirm, or of which it may have 
been the source. They also humbly pray the House 
to be pleased, with regard to the matters relative to 
the public domain and the land of that province, to 
concur in recognizing the rights of its legislature 
and of the Inhabitants of that province, to the end 
that they be no longer prevented from labouring as 
a part of that legislature, to render available all the 
resources of the country for the support of His Ma- 
Jesty’s government therein, and for the equal benefit 
of all the subjects of the Empire who inhabit that pro- 
vince, ormay come to settle in it, and more especially 
to ensure to all without distinction the means of set- 
tling on the waste lands, under an easy system,and on 
such conditions as shall be found most advantageous. 
On the subject of the independence of the Judges, 
they see with pleasure that there exists no difference 
between the views of His Majesty’s Government and 


16° Mazz. 





A. 1836. 


basis. They will not, however, abandon the con- 
sideration of the subject, and they will attentively 
examine any plan which shall appear to them well 
adapted for the attainment of the desired end. What 
they have now said will suffice to show the House 
what their views are with regard to the politics of 
the Colony as a whole, to the functions and powers 
which they believe to belong to the provincial legis- 
lature on all matters relative to the internal affairs of 
the Colony, and with regard to what they conceive 
to be the best means of ensuring activity, efficiency 
and responsibility in the public service. They would 
suggest, that there are on that portion of the Ame- 
rican continent more than a million of His Majesiy’s 
subjects, composing the Colonies of Upper and 
Lower Canada, who, speaking different languages, 
and having a gieat diversity of origin, laws, creeds 
and manners, characteristics peculiar to them re- 
spectively, and which they have severally the right 
to preserve as inhabitants of a separate and distinct 
province, have yet come to the conclusion that the 
institutions common co the two countries ought to 
be essentially modified, and that it has become ur- 
gently necessary to reform the abuses which have, 
up to this day, prevailed in the administration of the 
government; they rejoice that they have, in their 
just claims, the support of their brethren of Upper 
Canada ; this support will demonstrate to the House 
and to their fellow subjects in all parts of the em- 
pire, that they have been sincere: in their declara- 
tions, that the circumstances and wants of the two 
Canadian provinces do indeed require a responsible 
and popular government, and that they have been 
actuated by no narrow views of party or of origin in 
demanding for many years from the authorities of 
the mother country that such a government may be 
granted them. With regard to the protection and to 
the equality of rights which His Majesty’s subjects 
in that province are entitled to, the remedy of evils 
and abuses, the abolition of sinecures and pluralities, 
the expected formation of an Executive on 
the principles above set forth, and to divers other 
subjects more particularly mentioned in the speech 
from the throne at the opening of the present session, 
they refer to their answer to his Excellency the Go- 
vernor in Chief; and they ardently wish that the 
views and instructions of His Majesty’s Government 
on essential points, may be of a nature to facilitate 
the results which His Majesty’s representative has 
been pleased to promise, and which it will afford 
them the most lively satisfaction to see attained. 
In the extracts from despatches hereinbefore cited, 
there are certain passages which induce them to be- 
lieve that they have not made themselves understood 
by His Majesty’s Government, with regard to the 
nature of the control they desire for the provincial 
legislature over the waste lands of the public domain 
of the province, and which might cause some mis- 
apprehension in the opinion of their fellow subjects. 
They have never claimed to exercise over this portion 
of the affairs of the government, any other authority 
than the parliamentary and constitutional authority 
which they are entitled to exercise over all the other 
affairs of the country, in so far as the peace, welfare 
and good government of the country may be therein 
concerned. They have already set forth at length 
their reasons for believing that this authority belongs 
tothem. On this head, as on all others, their wish 
is that the due execution of the laws may remain in 
the hands of the executive authority, within the limits 
prescribed by the laws and the constitution, and 
under the necessary responsibility; but they also 
wish that the right of the Assembly of the province 


their own; they regret that their efforts to carry | to legislate on these subjects, jointly with the other 


those views into effect have been misunderstood. | 
Since that time the modifications which have ren-| 
dered the character of the legislative council worse, | 
while it was pretended to improve it, have convinced | 


them that it would be of no advantage to the due 
administration of justice to proceed on the same 


branches of the legislature, and to exercise in this 
behalfthe other powers of the Commons of thecountry, 
may receive its full application. They believe they have 
demonstrated the fatal results of the systems in which 
this wholesome doctrine has been lost sight of, and the 
necessity which exists that their effects should be 

remedied 











6 Witt. IV. 


remedied by laws, in making of which they have a 
right to participate. They would esteem themselves 
happy, if this explanation of their views remove any 
unintentional mistake into which His Majesty’s 
Government may have fallen, in construing their 
former representations. If they have, in them, dwelt 
more especially on this subject, it is because, until 
lately, it was enveloped in that province in a system 
of secresy, by which the rights of the Provincial 
Parliament were violated and rendered nugatory, 
and which has been most injurious to the interests 
of the government ; and also because His Majesty’s 
Ministers seem to agree in the opinion that these 
matters should be withdrawn from the legislative 
and parliamentary control of the Provincial Parlia- 
ment. If on this occasion they repeat their claims, 
it is because the more recent opinions of the same 
servants of His Majesty have appeared to them to 
have the same tendency. On the subject of the 
waste lands, they will here add, that they consider 
them as of much greater importance with regard to 
their free settlement, than with regard to the imme- 
diate pecuniary revenue which might be derived 
from then: by disposing of them at too high a price, 
or in larger portions than would suffice to meet the 
demands of such of His Majesty’s subjects as should 
be disposed personally to cultivate and settle on 
them. It remains for them to speak on an important 
and extensive subject,—the public revenue and ex- 
ene of the province. They are rejoiced at His 

ajesty’s gracious declaration, that He is disposed 
to admit the control of the representatives of the 
people over the whole public revenue raised in that 
province. They regard the fulfilment of this pro- 
mise as of the highest importance. In stating ex- 
plicitly in the preceding portions of this Petition, the 
rights which they humbly believe to belong to the 
legislature of that province, with regard to certain 
parts of this revenue, they wish to present the subject 
in its true point of view, in order that no miscon- 
ception may hereafter retard the desired result. In 
its deliberations on this result, it is impossible that 
the House should lose sight of the essential prin- 
ciples of the constitution, or of the Declaratory Act 
of 1778, to the benefit of which they believe the 
people of that country are peculiarly entitled. They 
will receive with respect, and examine with the 
most scrupulous attention, any communication which 
His Majesty’s Government may be pleased to make 
to them, tending to the settlement of the financial 
questions. They believe, however, that any merely 
temporary arrangement, made as a matter of expe- 
diency, and not carrying with it the recognition of 
the principles they have supported, could not have 
the desired effect, but would sooner or later bring 
back the very difficulties with which they are now 
contending. They humbly represent to the House, 
that the people of that province, tired of the con- 
tinued struggle in which they have been so long 
engaged to obtain the recognition of their rights on 
the part of the metropolitan and colonial authorities, 
would regard with painful apprehension the possi- 
bility of the recurrence of the same state of things, 
and of the necessity of making new sacrifices for the 
purpose of laying these complaints before His Ma- 
jesty and Parliament. They wish for a government 
which will assure them freedom and security ; the 
unrestricted effect of His Majesty’s declarations can 
alone confer it on them ; and it will be when they 
possess it, and can entertain a hope of the removal 
of the grievances and abuses they complain of, that 
they can properly consider the means of giving 
effect to the wishes of His Majesty’s Government 
with regard to an appropriation of a permanent 
nature. With respect to the extension of any appro- 
priation of this nature beyond what they have 
hitherto thought to be reasonable, it will be impos- 
sible for them to take the subject into consideration 
until after the views of His Majesty’s Government, 
with regard to the details, shall have been made 
Vor. 91.

known to them. They must, however, declare, that 
having represented their views with regard to the 
efficiency and responsibility which they wish to see 
established in the Provincial Government, they 
should think they failed in their duty to their con- 
stituents if they destroyed that efficiency and that 
responsibility, by placing, as a general rule, the 
great public functionaries of the province beyond the 
reach of the wholesome action of the constitution. 
They are not actuated by any considerations of a 
merely pecuniary nature; they believe that the 
largest sums His Majesty’s Government could ask 
for, would be utterly insignificant in comparision 
with those for which His Majesty's servants in that 
province have been defaulters, or the enormous sums 
expended out of the public revenue, without the 
authority of the Provincial Legislature, and even in 
opposition to the votes of the House of Assembly, 
or in comparison with the waste of the public pro- 
perty, by which four millions of acres of land or 
more, scarcely an eighth part of which has yet been 
settled, have been monopolized or alienated. But 
they earnestly desire to preserve the benefit of a 
Just control on the part of the legislature over the 
several branches of the provincial executive, and 
they can never consent, by renouncing it, to con- 
found all the powers of the State for the time to 
come. The pretensions set up by the executive 
authority to the exclusive disposal of considerable 
portions of the public revenue of that province, have 
been so different and so variable, that they shall 
ever consider it a fortunate circumstance that the 
discussion of these questions, as far as principles are 
concerned, has been closed by the general declara- 
tion, for which they here record their gratitude to 
His Majesty. But they cannot admit that their 
present claims are at variance with their anterior 
acts, as His Majesty’s Minister supposes. If they 
could consent to retaliate and continue the discus- 
sion, they might say, that the control of the Pro- 
vincial Legislature over the sources of revenue in 
question, has been recognized by a long course of 
practice ; that with regard to the casual and terri- 
torial revenue, the message of his Excellency Lord 
Dorchester, in the year 1794, was then, and has ever 

since been interpreted in the province, and even b 
the royal authority, in assenting to divers Bills 
passed by the Provincial Parliament, in such a 
manner as to leave no doubt on this subject. They 
might, then, regard the more recent pretensions of 
the executive as of a nature altogether unexpected. 
But, omitting these arguments, they appeal only to 
the principles of the constitutional and public law 
of the colony, and the very nature of these sources 
of revenue, which they believe they have wane 
set forth. There is another point connected with 
the casual and territorial revenue, of which they 
ought not to omit to speak. The very definition of 
this revenue, and the particular sources from which 
it is formed, demonstrate that it extends to all 
resources which may be derived from the public 
domain in that province. Lord Dorchester, m the 
message above-mentioned, confirms this conclusion 
in speaking of the sources of revenue from which no 
= had then been derived. And his Excellency 
ord Aylmer had, very recently, included the revenue 
arising from the sale of lands and the cutting of 
timber in the casual and territorial revenue. The 
House, therefore, will not see without surprise, that 
His Majesty’s Ministers and Servants, feeling that 
the control of the Provincial Parliament must 
sooner or later be exercised over the said casual and 
territorial revenue, compelled, moreover, to acknow- 
ledge, that in any case this revenue could not be 
applied otherwise than to the wants of the civil 
government and of the administration of justice, and 
desirous of creating funds which might be otherwise 
applied, and might enable them to indulge the spirit 
of favouritism and perpetuate their system of bad 
government, have endeavoured to separate from the 
3 B2 said 








372 16° Mair. 


said casual and territorial revenue the most im- 
portant and extensive portion of it, namely, the 
whole of the waste lands and saleable timber in that 
province ; and they appear to have assigned to the 
fund which they thus procured by the sale of the 
said lands and timber, without lawful authority, the 
name of His Majesty’s hereditary revenue. It is 
sufficient to examine the purposes to which this part 
of the revenue has for many years been applied, to 
be convinced that their opinion of this application 
is by no means erroneous, and that these purposes 
have only an almost infinitely distant relation to 
the essential wants of the civil government and of 
the administration of justice, for which the casual 
and territorial revenue is destined. From this ad- 
ministrative manceuvre it follows, as a necessary 
consequence, that in the hands of His Majesty’s 
servants to whom the management of the territorial 
domain is entrusted, the waste lands will be alienated 
with a view to the immediate increase of this uncon- 
trolled revenue, instead of being managed with a 
sage foresight, founded on the consideration of the 
resources which these lands offer for the future, and 
of their settlement by His Majesty’s subjects. It 
seems to be intended that this revenue should be 
enormously increased by the proceeds of the sale to 
the Land Company. On this latter subject they 
pray that from the revenue over which they have 

een encouraged in the hope of seeing the control 
of the Legislature of that province established, 
all sums arising from alienations in favour of the 
said Company may be excluded. They hold the 
unrestrained access to so great an extent of the 
waste lands to be too valuable to His Majesty’s 
subjects who inhabit that province, or who may 
hereafter come to settle therein, to allow them to 
barter away their rights for any pecuniary considera- 
tions whatsoever, or by acknowledging the validity 
of the said alienations. They are therefore bound 
to abide by the requests herein above made to the 
House. If they rightly understand the said extracts 
from despatches, the announced recognition of the 
control of the Provincial Legislature over the whole 
revenue extends equally to the sources of revenue 
thus separated from the casual and territorial re- 
venue. This extension will have the effect of pre- 
venting, for the future, the consequences of the 
system heretofore followed. They observe, however, 
that there is a desire to maintain, under any final 
arrangement, the charges to the payment of which 
this particular revenue has hitherto been applied, 
and which are considered as permanent. They have 
already expressed their opinion as to the nature of 
these charges. His Majesty’s Government cannot 
doubt their readiness to make every provision which 
may be necessary to ensure the efficient and bene- 
ficial management of the said lands and timber. 
They shall likewise give their attention to the nature 
of the other charges, with the view of making the 
result of their deliberations known to His Majesty’s 
Government. They have, however, already declared 
that they could not recognize the sinecures created 
under the Tenures’ Act. With regard to the several 
pensions which have hitherto been paid out of this 
fund, it is their wish to express no premature opinion 
here, and they will merely remind the House that 
they have hitherto been paid in opposition to the 
determinations of the House of Assembly. If they 
see the desired arrangement effected, they shail 
receive with respect, and shall take into considera- 
tion with the liberality they have always exercised 
(regard being had to the circumstances of each case 
and to the resources of the country), all recom- 
mendations from His Majesty requesting appropri- 
ations on their part, of the public monies for con- 
stitutional purposes. Having thus exposed their 
opinions on the essential points of the extracts from 
despatches which have come to their knowledge, 
they refer on all other points to their humble Peti- 
tions to His Majesty, and Parliament, of the 1st of 





A. 1836. 


March 1834, and the 28th of February 1835, in 
which they persevere. They beg leave to call the 
favourable attention of the House to the essential 
reforms they have pointed out in the former part of 
this Address, and which they believe to be indis- 
pensable. Declaring themselves unsatisfied with 
the views and intentions of His Majesty’s Ministers, 
they address themselves to His Majesty and Par- 
liament, in order that their just claims may be 
listened to, and that His Majesty’s Government in 
that province may be rendered constitutional and 
responsible, and possess the confidence of His faith- 
ful subjects. They have frequently regretted that 
the destinies of the inhabitants of that portion of the 
British Empire should depend almost solely on a 
Colonial Minister on ithe other side of the ocean, 
acting for the most part on incorrect data and on 
an imperfect knowledge of facts, and left to act on 
his own responsibility. They also venture humbly 
to express their regret, that in the discussion of 
colonial questions in general, it has not been thought 
right to attach sufficient importance to them to 
place them among the number of those on which 
the public confidence in His Majesty’s Government 
depends. They have suffered and still suffer from 
this state of things, and they believe that it would 
be best remedied by the action, in the province 
itself, of a government at once popular and re- 
spected. In the position in which they are placed, 
and however unjust the projects of the colonial office 
may appear, it is yet their wish to give a proof of 
their desire for conciliation and peace. They have 
expressed their regret, that pore 20 to the extracts 
from despatches above cited, even the temporary 
arrangement alluded to by His Majesty’s repre- 
sentative cannot take place unless the House of 
Assembly virtually admits the control of the execu- 
tive over the funds which they believe to belong to 
them, nor unless these funds remain hereafter, as 
they have done heretofore, and for a term of which 
it is impossible to ascertain the extent, subject to 
charges created by the mere authority of the exe- 
cutive, and which it regards as permanent. They are, 
however, resolved to neglect nothing which can afford 
to His Majesty and Parliament an opportunity to 
do them justice, and to the present administration of 
that province, the means of effecting such reforms 
as the vices of the system permit them to effect ; and 
they have determined to provide for the expenses of 
the Provincial Government for a limited time, regard 
being had to the circumstances attending the several 
items, and the resources of the country. They pray 
that the House will attribute the manner in which 
they will endeavour to give effect to the decision 
they have thus come to, solely to their sincere desire 
to obtain a better government, and not to any aban- 
donment of the principles they have supported ; 
and that the House will not allow it to be made a 
subject of reproach to them when they may again 
hereafter insist on these principles. It is with the 
view of maintaining them, and of obtaining the 
decision of His Majesty and of Parliament on the 
weighty matters they have set forth, and the re- 
moval of grievances and abuses, that they have 
postponed the consideration of the other demands 
which would have necessitated a further departure 
from what they believe to be the constitutional 
rights of the people. They expect full justice from 
the august tribunal to which they appeal; and they 
trust that the Provincial Parliament will be called 
together for its next session so as to enable them to 
continue as early as possible their labours for the 
| welfare of the country, and, re-assured by the jus- 
‘tice and liberality of the measures they expect, to 
consider the means of finally arranging the diffi- 
culties existing in the government of that province, 
and of giving strength, stability and public con- 
fidence thereto. Wherefore they respectfully entreat 
the House to listen favourably to their humble 
prayers, and, as well by the exercise of its high 








influence

motives of religious persecution and political party 
feeling, which allegations, the Petitioners humbly 
submit, are contrary to the fact ; that the Petitioners 
further state, that whatever appalling misery, dis- 
sensions, heart-burnings and crimes, as set forth in 
the Petition of said Wicholas Aylward Vigors, there 
may be, have been produced by the conduct and 
unconstitutional interference of the Roman Catholic 
priests, previous to, during and subsequent to the 
several elections for Members of Parliament for that 
county since the year 1830, many of whom have, 
from their chapel altars, as also at public meetings, 
delivered harangues of a most inflammatory nature, 
and denouncing such freeholders as should dare to 
vote against their wishes; that in consequence of 
such harangues, Roman Catholic congregations have 
been disturbed on Sabbath days by the forcible ex- 
pulsion from their chapels of respectable individuals, 
their pews have been torn from the places which they 
occupied, and destroyed, and numerous other out- 
rages perpetrated on the persons and property of 
such Roman Catholic electors as resisted the man- 
dates of the priests; that the Petitioners have fur- 
ther to state, that mobs, headed by Roman Catholic 
“ect have perambulated the county, visiting the 
ouses of electors, and endeavouring to coerce them 
by intimidation, to vote contrary to their wishes ; 
that the farming labourers of many electors who 
refused to comply were compelled to quit their em- 
ployers’ service at the busiest season of the spring ; 
that electors were forcibly carried to a distance from 
the county, to prevent them from voting for can- 
didates who would not be dictated to by these priests, 
and detained until the elections had terminated ; 
that these, and a multitude of other grievances, solely 
occasioned by the unconstitutional conduct of the 
Roman Catholic priests of that county, with the 
details of which the Petitioners are unwilling to 
trespass on the House, and under which the Roman 
Catholic tenantry of the Petitioners have been long 
suffering, causes the Petitioners humbly to solicit 
the House to institute a thorough inquiry into the 
whole of this matter, and pass such legislative enact- 
ment as may in future control the dangerous and 
unconstitutional power exercised by the Roman 
Catholic clergy at elections for Members of the 
House, as otherwise no Roman Catholic can with 
safety exercise his constitutional privileges. 
Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being put,

raising the levels on the Pinzton Branch above those 
shown in their Section delineated in the Plan de- 
posited in the Private Bill Office, and from laying 
more than a single line of Railway on that Branch ; 
and, secondly, to limit their future inquiries to the 
comparative merits of the Line intended by the

That the Committee were unable to commence

quence of the Engineers of both the above Lines 
being also the Engineers for two of the competing 
Lines of Railway proposed from London to Brighton: 

That since the 21st of March the Committee has 
sat 31 days: 

That 83 witnesses have been examined before 
them, many of whom were a considerable time under 
examination : 

That the case of the Commercial Blackwall Rail- 
way engaged the sole attention of the Committee 
in the examination of witnesses for and against the 
Bill up to the 14th instant : 

That since that time witnesses have been exa- 
mined in favour of the London and Blackwall Rail- 
way, and the evidence is now proceeding : 

That in consequence of two conflicting Lines 
having been referred to the Committee, and of the great 
number of witnesses who have been, and yet remain 
to be examined, it will not be possible, with justice 


20° Maiz. 


to the parties interested, for the Committee to con- 





A. 1836. 


clude the evidence, and make their Report, within 
the time limited by the House for that purpose : 

That the promoters of neither of the Bills are 
chargeable with any delay, or any attempt to dela 
the proceedings of the Committee, but that ne: 
able interruption took place in the proceedings, in 
consequence of Sir John Rennie, the Engineer of 
the Commercial Blackwall Line, being in the act 
of giving evidence before the Committee on the 
Brighton Railway at the time he was required to be 
examined before this Committee, and a subsequent 
illness of the said Sir John Rennie (which altogether 
occasioned a delay of a fortnight), during which this 
Committee was compelled to adjourn, it being their 
opinion that the due course of proceeding would be 
to examine Sir John Rennie before any other engi- 
neering witnesses; and that a different course of 
proceeding would have led to confusion, and still 
greater delay. 

The Committee therefore recommend, that the 
time for making their Report be enlarged to the 
30th day of June next. 

That the Committee unanimously agreed to this 
Report. 

Ordered, That the time for the Committee, to make 
their Report, be enlarged till Monday, the 20th day

Mr. Speaker acquainted the House, that he had Kilkenny City 
received, from the Deputy Clerk of the Crown and ““"™ 


Hanaper in Jreland, a Petition of Talbot Glascock, 
Esquire, complaining of an undue Election and 
Return for the City of Kilkenny ; and the said Peti- 
tion was laid upon the Table. 

A Petition of Talbot Glascoch, of the city of 
Dublin, Esquire, Recorder of Baltinglass, &amp;c. was 
read; setting forth, That Petitioner was invited to 
stand as a Candidate for the representation of Kél- 
kenny, for which purpose a new Writ was ordered, 
and notice given by the Returning Officers of said 
city that a new Election would be held on Tues- 
day, the 17th day of May, between the hours of 
eleven and twelve o’clock on said day; which 
notice was even short, and not according to the law 
of the land ; that Petitioner was accordingly pro- 
ceeding to the Court, precisely at the hour of eleven 
o'clock, when Petitioner was sent for by Kenny 
Purcell, Esquire, the conducting agent of Daniel 
O’ Connell, the other Candidate for Kilkenny, to his 
house or offices, near to the City Court-house ; that 
Petitioner, believing that at all events no deception 
would he practised with a view to preventing Peti- 
tioner being proposed and seconded, for which he 
was prepared, was then requested by said Kenny 
Purcell, Esquire, to oblige him by not opposing 
said Daniel O'Connell, and requesting to know the 
grounds of Petitioner’s opposition to him; Petitioner 

unhesitatingly 





6 Wit. IV. 


unhesitatingly communicated with said avowed 
agent the grounds of his opposition, videlicet, that 
the said Daniel O’ Connell was incapacitated to take 
his seat, even though returned, and that Petitioner 
would petition the House against his continuing to 
sit, should he even be returned ; that Petitioner was 
led into a deceitful security that the Election would 
not have been proceeded with, at least for a few 
minutes after eleven o’clock, the more particularly 


as the conducting agent of the person who was/B 


returned remained at his own residence, while Peti- 
tioner proceeded to the City Court-house, where, in 
a few minutes after eleven o’clock, the said Daniel 
O’ Connell was declared duly elected; that Peti- 
tioner, finding he was the unpopular Candidate, and 
that the Returning Officer decided that he had de- 
clared Mr. O’ Connell duly elected, that Petitioner 
merely remonstrated upon the indecent haste and 
deception which had been practised by means of 
treachery and fraud ; Petitioner therefore prays that 
he may be permitted to support, by proof of the 
fact before the bar of the House, that a systematic 
sanction of anticipating the proper period of Elec- 
tion, was practised even by the Returning Officers, 
and that, without imputing corrupt motives, Peti- 
tioner undertakes to prove that the Returning Offi- 
cers declared Daniel O'Connell, Esquire, dul 
elected before half past eleven o’clock, althoug 
they had previously advertised that the Election 
was to be holden between eleven and twelve o’clock, 
thereby deluding the Candidates that no deception 
would have taken place, particularly when the — 
of the agency of the deceiver can be brought home 
to the party non-inculpated ; that no proclamation 
was made, or any interval of time elapsed, from the 
moment the Returning Officer declared said Daniel 
O’ Connell duly elected, without a single voter 
having polled; that the notice for holding the said 
Election was even short, according to the law of the 
land ; that, as evidence of the indecent hurry and 
fraud by means whereof the said Daniel O’ Connell 
was declared duly elected, the Petitioner undertakes 
to prove before the House, or any Committee that 
may be appointed for that purpose, the following 
facts; and that, although said Daniel O’ Connell 
might have been amidst an uproarious tumult de- 
clared duly elected about eleven o’clock on Tuesday, 
when the Petitioner demanded a poll, and had in 
attendance two registered Electors for the purpose, 
et the Return was not made upon the Writ of 
Election, nor the deed perfected until nearly twelve 
o’clock ; that some of the documents necessary to 
complete the formal Election of said Mr. O’ Connell 
having been forgotten at the Court-house, the same 
was supplied and signed by the Returning Officers 
at the house of Kenny Purcell, Esquire, attorney, 
and conducting agent for said Daniel O’ Connell, 
and that said Kenny Purcell immediately left Kil- 
kenny with all the original papers relative to said 
Election, by express to London vid Dublin, so as to 
ensure the said Daniel O’Connell should take his 
seat in the House as Member for Kilkenny before 
the Recess, which he did do, although, as aforesaid, 
so unjustly and unduly elected; and praying the 
House to take the case of Petitioner into considera- 
tion, and to order that a new Writ be issued for the 
city of Kilkenny, if it should appear, on an investi- 
gation, that the Returning Officers, or acknowledged 
agent of said Daniel O’ Connell, had been the cause 
of the deception and delusion, to deprive a fair 
competitor of his rights against the law of the 
land ; that the name of the said Daniel O’ Connell 
may be erased from the Return to the Writ of Elec- 
tion, and that of the Petitioner substituted in its 
lace. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be taken into 
consideration upon Tuesday, the 21st day of June 
next, at three of the.clock in the Afternoon. 

Ordered, That Mr. Speaker do issue his Warrant 
or Warrants for such persons, papers and records as

the sick poor, is mefficient and unjust ; first, it is

of population is generally scattered over too great 
an extent of country for any individual to render 
that prompt and immediate assistance which many 
cases of illness and all accidents require; 2d. it 
is unjust, because while it does not afford proper 
medical relief to the sick poor, it does not offer a

tionate to the laborious duties required of him, but

attendance upon criminals, was presented, and read ;

A Petition of the Legislative Council of the pro- 
vince of New Brunswick, in Provincial Parliament 
assembled, was presented, and read ; setting forth, 
That the Petitioners, having had under their con- 
sideration the Resolutions reported to the House 
in the last Session of the Imperial Parliament on 
the subject of the Duties on Timber imported into 
the United Kingdom, humbly represent to the 
House, that the intelligence of the alteration in these 
Duties contemplated by the said Resolutions has 
occasioned great alarm in those provinces, and 
which is by no means confined to those whose in- 
terests would be more immediately affected by the 
change ; that, under the present scale of protective 
Duty, Baltic timber and deals enter so largely into 
competition with those manufactured in Canada, 
that the prices obtained for the latter in the United 
Kingdom scarcely yield a return of their actual 
cost in that province, and it is evident, from the 
information laid before the House of Assembly, that 
a reduction of that protection to the extent proposed 
by the Resolutions above mentioned, or even less, 
must have the effect of excluding the leading arti- 
cles in this most important branch of their com- 
merce from the British markets, of curtailing their 
trade with the parent State to one-third of its present 
extent, and be fraught with ruinous consequences to 
a numerous class of the inhabitants of dan pro- 
vinces, who, confiding in the Imperial Parliament, 
have invested a large capital in saw-mills, wharfs 
and other fixed property required for the manage- 
ment of the business ; that the capital thus invested 
is estimated at 450,000/., and in the circumstances 
of those provinces very little of the property could 
be converted to other purposes, the alteration of the 
timber Duties and the consequent reduction of the 
trade would therefore render the greatest part of it 
useless, and that portion which consists of buildings 


would in a few years become nearly a total loss;

but it is not only with reference to the capital sunk 
in fixed property that the House of Assembly must 
regard every measure tending to cramp or destroy 
this essential branch of their commerce with deep 
concern ; the number of persons employed as clerks, 
conductors and labourers in manufacturing and 
transporting lumber, and who derive their subsistence 
from it, is computed at 24,000, and all the ac- 
counts submitted to the Assembly concur in stating 
that the curtailment of the teaide would be most 
severely felt by these people, there being no other 
occupation in the province to which they could 
immediately betake themselves ; that, in addition to 
the large body of men engaged in producing the 
supply of lumber, the trade affords employment and 
the means of support to a very numerous class at 
the ports of shipment, where the amount put in cir- 
culation for ships’ disbursements is .reckoned at 
150,0001. per annum, and the loss of which or the 
diminution thereof consequent to the decrease of 
shipping arriving in the country would inflict a 
severe blow on the resident population of Quebec 
and Montreal; that the severity of their climate is 
known to the House, and repeated failures of the 
grain crops attest the precariousness of agricultural 
pursuits in the lower districts of the province; the 
inquiry in which the House of Assembly have been 
engaged proves that the farmers in those parts of 
the country rely in a considerable degree on the 
manufacture of deals for the means of supporting 
their families, and that without this resource the 
distress on particular occasions would have been 
greatly aggravated ; the House of Assembly may 
here observe, that the large floating capital em- 
barked in this branch of their trade is chiefly dis- 
bursed for labour, which constitutes the principal 
item in the cost of the lumber ; that the demand for 
provisions for the persons and provender for the 
cattle engaged in the business enables the farmer to 
realize at his own door good prices for his surplus 
produce, and to become in his turn a larger consumer 
of domestic and foreign goods ; that the process 
of their shipments of lumber to the United Kingdom 
are returned to them chiefly in British manufac- 
tures, and that the great interests of agriculture 
and commerce are thus mutually promoted, they 
go hand in hand in extending the settlement of the 
country, and advancing its importance as a portion 
of the British Empire; that the collector of His 
Majesty’s Customs at the port of Quebec has laid 
before the House of Assembly a comparative state- 
ment, for the last seven years, of the tonnage and 
seamen employed in the export trade of the perme 
which is annexed to the Petition, and to which the 
House of Assembly humbly entreat the House to 
refer; this statement shows, that between the 
years 1829 and 1835, the tonnage employed has 
gradually increased from 253,992 tons, navigated 
by 11,449 men, to 341,216 tons and 14,866 men; 
that the increase has taken place in the lumber 
branch, and that of 1,266 vessels cleared in the last- 
mentioned year, 1,023 were destined for the United 
Kingdom, of which 967 were laden with lumber and 
only 56 with other goods; that these facts, while 
they demonstrate the paramount importance of the 
timber trade to that province and its relative import- 
ance to the United Kingdom, also exhibit the 
serious manner in which their means for paying 
the British manufacturers would be affected by the 
proposed alteration in the Duties, and they trust 
will convince the House that the injury which the 
change would inflict on that province would not be 
confined to those directly engaged in the trade, but 
would extend to all classes of the community, and 
paralize every branch of its industry ; that this trade, 
so important in other respects, is likewise of essen- 
tial service to those provinces, by affording the 
means of cheap conveyance from the United King- 
dom, and thereby promoting emigration, and to the 
emigrants themselves equally serviceable, in addition

to cheap conveyance, by providing them with em- 
ployment at good wages immediately on their 
arrival, whereby many obtain funds for the purchase 
of lands which their previous occupation has fitted 
them to clear, and the trade is thus again instru- 
mental in advancing the settlement of the country ; 
that, without dwelling upon the serious conse- 
quences which, in a national point of view, would 
attend the destruction of this branch of their trade, 
the House of Assembly entreat the attention of the 
House to the fact, that if those now engaged in it 
should be compelled to relinquish it, and the policy 
of the Empire should thereafter suggest the expe- 
diency of reviving it, the measure could only be 
accomplished by a very considerable outlay of 
capital, which it would be in vain to look for with- 
out a higher and more permanent protective Duty 
than is now afforded, and even under such advantages 
it would require several years to restore the trade 
to its present extent and efficiency ; wherefore they 
humbly pray that the House will favourably con- 
sider their representations, and make no change in 
the Duties on timber and deals imported into the 
United Kingdom unfavourable to the interests of 
the North American colonies, but leave the said 
colonies in the enjoyment of the trade without 
alteration.

A Petition of George Read and John Moore, 
electors of the city of Kilkenny, was delivered in, 
and read; setting forth, That a writ of Election 
was presented by The Speaker of the House to the 
Sherifis of the city of Kilkenny, to elect a Member 
to represent the Citizens in Parliament, in the room 
of Richard Sullivan, Esquire, who accepted the office 
of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds; that accord- 
ingly the Sheriffs, in obedience to said writ, ra 
pointed Tuesday, the 7th day of May instant, for 
that purpose, to be holden between the hours of 
eleven and twelve o’clock, at the Court House of 
said city; that a Candidate, in the person of Daniel 
O’ Connell, Esquire, was proposed, seconded and 
declared duly elected in less than five minutes after 
eleven, and that no Proclamation, or other form re- 
quired by law, to constitute a fair Election, was 
made or observed; that a second Candidate, in the 
person of Talbot Glascock, Esquire, of Dublin, was 
ready to be proposed and seconded by Petitioners, 
registered electors, but in consequence of the illegal 
and indecent haste, they had not an opportunity of 
exercising their undoubted privilege, notwithstand- 
ing they were in attendance at the hustings at the 
exact hour advertised by the Sheriffs, when it was 
then specified to them by the Sheriffs in person, 
that said Daniel O’ Connell was declared duly elected 
long before that hour; and the Petitioners have 
heard and verily believe, that the haste so made was 
perfectly in pois tr to prevent Talbot Glascock, Es- 
quire, from being returned, and to hurry the poll, 
as a carriage and four horses were in readiness to 
convey the result by express to Dublin, in time for 
the mail, so that the said Daniel O’ Connell should 
take his seat on the ensuing Thursday, and before 
the Recess; and Petitioners have indisputable evi- 
dence to offer, that the Sheriffs having in their 
hurry forgot several documents absolutely necessary 
to goes ne it, before any return could be made, 
proceeded from the Court House and to his private 
residence, then and there they were perfected, con- 
trary to the law of the land in such cases made and 
provided ; Petitioners therefore, having a due reli- 
ance upon the justice and honour of the House, 
do pray respectfully and firmly, that the House will 
cause inquiry to be made into the said Election, 
and substitute in the Return thereof the Name of 
Talbot Glascock for that of Daniel O’ Connell, or 
grant a new Election, declaring the previous one void, 
inasmuch as it was untrue, false and fraudulent. 

Ordered, That the said Petition be taken into 
consideration upon Tuesday, the 21st day of this 
instant June, at the same time that the Petition of 
Talbot Glascock, Esquire, is ordered to be taken 
into consideration. 

Ordered, That Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant, 
or warrants, for such persons, papers and records, as 
shall be thought necessary by the several parties 
on the hearing of the matter of the said Petition.

Amendments made by the Lords to the Bill, in- 
tituled, An Act to provide that Persons in Scotland 
accused of Letter Stealing, and certain other Crimes 
or Offences, shall not be entitled to liberation on 
Bail, unless in certain cases; That the Committee 
had drawn up Reasons accordingly, which they had 
directed him to report ; and the same were read, as 
follow : 

The Bill recites an Act of the 5th and 6th year 
of the reign of His present Majesty, “ for abolishing 
Capital Punishments in cases of Letter Stealing and 
Sacrilege,” and in the sequel of the Bill references 
are made to that Act “as the said last recited,” and 
as containing a description and enumeration of cer- 
tain crimes and offences against the Post Office. 
The Amendment made by the Lords introduces, 
between the recital of the said Act and the references 
thereto, the recital of another Act, viz. an Act 
passed in the present Session for amending the said 
recited Act; but inasmuch as in the Act so recited 
in the Amendment of the Lords there is no descrip- 
tion and enumeration of crimes and offences against 
the Post Office, the references made in the Bill to 
such description and enumeration are rendered 
incorrect and inapplicable, and the Bill consequently 
rendered inoperative. 


The said Reasons, being read a second time, was 
agreed to.

and what amount of Compensation ought to be

“1. Resolved, That it appeared to your Committee, 
that Mr. Buckingham resided in Bengal from the 
year 1818 to 1823, under a License of the East 
India Company, and was engaged as principal Pro- 
prietor and Editor of the Calcutta Journal, which 
was then a highly profitable concern, yielding to 
himself and the other Proprietors a large annual in- 
come. 

“2. Resolved, That it appeared to your Committee, 
that in the year 1823, in the exercise of the discretion 
vested in the Governor General, Mr. Buckingham 
was, by the acting Governor General, ordered to 
quit India within two months. 

“3. Resolved, That it appeared to your Committee, 
that after the departure of Mr. Buckingham from 
India, the Calcutta Journal was, by order of the 
Governor General, altogether suppressed. 

“4, Resolved, That your Committee, without im- 
pugning the motives which actuated the measures of 
the Government, feel that those measures have in 
their consequences proved to Mr. Buckingham and 
his family penal to a degree which could not have 
been contemplated at the time of their adoption. 

“5. Resolved, That your Committee are therefore 
of opinion, that compensation ought to be made to 
Mr. Buckingham. 

“6. Resolved, That your Committee abstain from 
expressing any opinion as to the amount of Com- 
pensation, in the hope that that subject will be taken 
into the favourable consideration of the East India 
Company, and thus the interposition of Parliament, 
in the next Session, to fix such amount be rendered 
unnecessary.”

put, That this House doth agree with the Committee

Tent, 


Ordered, That the Managers who managed the 
Conferences upon the 9thand 15tk days of February 
last, do manage this Conference :—And the Names 
of Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Sir Andrew Leith Hay, Mr.

Mr. Pryme reported, That the Managers had met

the part of the Lords by the Lord President of the 
Council, who acquainted them, that the Lords being 
desirous at all times of maintaining a good corre- 
spondence with the House of Commons, have de- 
sired this Conference on the subject-matter of the 
two Conferences of the 9th and 15th days of February 
last. 

The Lords concur in the first Resolution of the 
Commons, viz. That the Resolution of the House 
of the 7th of May 1801 (which Resolution was 
adopted by the House of Lords), be rescinded, and 
that a new scheme, founded on the principles re- 
commended by the Committee, be adopted. 

The Lords do not concur in the second and third 
Resolutions of the Commons; viz. “ That the whole 
number of copies of Statutes for promulgation be 
printed of one uniform size ;’ and “ That the Sta- 


Vor. 91. 


9° Junie. 


| 











447. 


tutes for promulgation be of the royal octavo size, 
continuously printed,” for the following, among 
other, Reasons: 

Because the Lords are of opinion, That it is con- 
venient for the public service that there should be 
two distinct editions of the Statutes for promulga- 
tion ; and that it is of the highest importance that 
there should be one printed in separate Acts, for the 
purpose of the earliest possible distribution after 
they are passed. 

Because the Lords think it also of essential ad- 
vantage that these two editions, the one printed in 
separate Acts, and the other continuously, should 
both be prepared and carried on at the same time, 
quite independently of each other, so that there 
would be no possibility of making the saving which 
some have supposed might be obtained by changing 
the one into the other as occasion might require ; 
and they see no good purpose which could be an- 
swered in both editions being printed in one uniform 
size. 

Because the convenience of the different offices, 
courts and classes of persons included in the pro- 
mulgation order, is better consulted by the different 
sizes, than by one uniform size. 

Because the octavo form is not the most econo- 
mical ; and, although more portable, and therefore 
convenient for purposes of transport, is for that 
reason not so well adapted for permanent deposit in 

laces, courts and offices, for the use of which the 
Statutes are promulgated, as the folio or quarto sizes. 

Because no material saving could be effected by 
adopting one size rather than another, so long as 
the same sized type is used ; and the Lords do not 
think it advisable that in all the Statutes printed for 
promulgation, the smaller type now used in the 
quarto edition should be adopted. 

Upon the whole, the Lords see no advantage in 
departing from the present system of printing the 
Statutes, in respect of form, size of paper or type. 

The Lords concur in the next Resolution com- 
municated by the Commons, marked 5, viz. “ That, 
to secure the publicity and preservation of the Sta- 
tutes for the use of the Courts and Offices, such 
copies shall be stamped “ Promulgated for public 
use,” and be accompanied by a distinct notice on 
each volume, that they belong to the said courts 
and offices, and are to be solely appropriated for 
public use.” 

The Lords do not concur in the Resolution com- 
municated at the Conference on the 15th of Februa 
last, viz. “ That it is the opinion of this House, That 
it is expedient to discontinue the present mode of 
ingrossing Acts of Parliament in black letter, and 
to substitute a plain round hand instead thereof,” 
for the following, among other Reasons : 

Because the Lords are of opinion that there is no 
mode of writing upon parchment, which could upon 
the whole be advantageously substituted for the in- 
grossing hand now in use. 

Because, although the substitution of round hand 
for the ingrossing hand would afford greater facility 
for reading quickly the Acts so written, it does not 
appear to the Lords that this consideration is suffi- 
cient to decide the question. It can very rarely 
happen that any person has occasion to read quickl 
the parchment record of an Act of Parliament, the 
object is rather to preserve an uniform, durable and 
correct record of the Acts of the Legislature, which 
shall be legible at a distant period, with ordinar 
care, than merely to afford facility for reading the 
record expeditiously. 

Because the mode in which the ink is transferred 
to, and the characters impressed upon, the parch- 
ment by the ingrossing hand, gives a permanence 
and an uniformity which cannot be obtained by the 
ordinary mode of writing. 

Because it appears to the Lords that the adoption 
of the plain round hand would afford a greater 
facility of falsifying an Act of Parliament or other

record by interpolation or otherwise, than the use 
of the ingrossing hand. 

Because they learn also, that no advantage would 
be gained in point of expense, nor in the saving of 
time, by the proposed change. 

Under these circumstaces, the Lords regret that 
they cannot concur in this Resolution of the Com- 
mons; but as the difficulty of reading the ingrossing 
hand is principally found in the proper names of 
places and persons, they think that this part of the 
difficulty would be removed by directing that the 
io names of persons and places should in future 

e written in round hand. 

And the Lords have directed us to communicate 
to the Commons a printed Copy of the Report of 
the Select Committee on the subject-matter of the 
Resolutions of the Commons, together with a printed 
Copy of the Minutes of Evidence upon which they 
passed the said Resolutions now communicated to 
the Commons.

posed, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to extend

A Petition of His Majesty’s dutiful and loyal sub- 
jects the Commons of Upper Canada, in Provincial 
Parliament assembled, was presented, and read ; 
setting forth, That the Petitioners, after unavailing 
struggles fora series of years to obtain such an ad- 
ministration of their local affairs as would secure to 
the people of that Province possessing the very 
image and transcript of the British Constitution, the 
blessings of good government, are at length driven 
to appeal to the wisdom, justice and magnanimity of | 
the House, in the hope that the powerful interces- 
sion of the House with His Majesty may yet redeem 
the Petitioners from a condition every day be- 
coming more ruinous and alarming; the Petitioners 
are not unacquainted with the overwhelming influ- 
ence of station and weight of authority which will 
be brought to bear against their exertions to procure 
redress; and, without the interposition of the House, 
they entertain a fear, grounded on the experience of 
the past, that His Majesty’s ear will be so abused 
by secret dispatches and personal detractions as 
almost to set at defiance the best-directed intentions 
of His Majesty to arrive at the truth; and they 
desire to add, as a further difficulty, an inveterate 
disposition to adhere to what is called the colonial 
system under which their present condition has 
been produced, instead of accommodating it, as both 
wisdom and justice require, to the changing state 
and increasing wealth and population of the country : 
in answer to the Address of the House of Assembly of 
‘/pper Canada to His most gracious Majesty in the 
late Session upon the subject of their grievances, they 
received, as their new Lieutenant Governor his pre- 
sent Excellency Sir Francis Bond Head, who, by 
message, communicated to the House the instructions 
he had received from His Majesty’s Government for 
his guidance, but these imstructions leave them 
under the same unsatisfactory and injurious system 
that has heretofore prevailed, and they practically 
feel that the institutions of the country are so di- 
rected, their operations so abridged, and public 
functionaries so protected in misgovernment, by 
their distance from their superiors, as to render illu- 








A. 1836. 


sive and abortive the most promising schemes framed 
in England for their amelioration: upon the arrival 
of Sir Francis B. Head to represent His most 
gracious Majesty among the constitutiomal authori- 
ties of the province, they were disposed to entertain 

the happiest expectations; and when his Excellenc 
from the throne invited them to render him that loyal, 
constitutional, unbiassed and fearlessassistance which 
The King expects, and which the rising interests of 
the country require, and when they saw their often- 
repeated Seentiataction with the Executive Council 
removed, and the highest public confidence secured, 
by the addition of the Honourable John Henry Dunn, 
obert Baldwin, and John Rolph, Esquires, the Pe- 
titioners fully believed that they were about to en- 
joy under his Excellency the full benefit of their 
charter, by a wise, impartial and constitutional admi- 
nistration of their affairs: the reign of universal 
thankfulness and tranquillity under this change of 
things was, they lament to state, of short duration ; 
the country had always supposed that the Execu- 
tive Council of the Province, from time to time ap- 
pointed by His Majesty under the thirty-first George 
the third, chapter thirty-first, to advise His Majesty 
and His representative upon the affairs of the pro- 
vince actually discharged the important duties as- 
signed to them by the constitution, in consequence 
whereof all public odium of the mismanagement of 
their affairs os been heretofore visited on the Exe- 
cutive Council, while every Lieutenant Governor has 
been acquitted upon the presumption of his being, 
as pleaded to them by Sir F. B. Head, a stranger 
lately arrived among them, and therefore uninten- 
tionally misled by corrupt advisers ; but it has now 
come to light that the Reyoullis Council has been 
always limited in their duties to a Lana Board and 
Board of Audit, while the affairs of the province, so 
unsatisfactorily managed, seldom passed under their 
review, or were submitted for their advice: it ap- 
pears, from the Appendix to this Memorial, thereto 
annexed, to which they refer the House, and to 
which they earnestly pray a patient, candid and 
impartial regard, that the late Executive Council, 
composed of the old Council, with the aforesaid 
additions, after remaining three weeks in office under 
the old, but concealed, system of withholding from 
their advice the affairs of the province, addressed to 
his Excellency, Sir F. B. Head, the contidential re- 
presentation thereto annexed, praying either that 
the affairs of the Province might be systematically 
submitted for their advice preparatory to his Excel- 
lency’s final and discretionary action thereon, or 
that they might be allowed to disabuse the public 
respecting the nature and extent of the duties con- 
fided to them, and the need of this request must 
have been injuriously felt from the fact, notorious to 
them and the country, that every act of his Excel- 
lency’s administration proved either that the late 
Council had betrayed public confidence, or that his 
Excellency followed the advice of other uncertain, 
unsworn and irresponsible persons, neither possess- 
ing nor entitled to political confidence : in the above 
constitutional, just and reasonable representation 
made to his Excellency in official confidence under 
oath, his Excellency made the reply also appended’ 
to the Petition, and concludes, after denying the con- 
stitutional origin and duties of the Council, with the 
assurance to his Council that his estimation of their 
talents and integrity, as well as his personal regard 
for them, remain unshaken, and that he is not in- 
sensible of the difficulties to which he will be ex- 
posed should they deem it necessary to leave him ; 
at the same time should they be of opinion that the 
oath they have taken requires them to retire from 
his confidence rather than from the principles they 
have avowed, he begs that on his account they will 
not hesitate for a moment to do so: under these 
circumstances, the Council, feeling themselves under 
the alternative of abandoning either their principles 
or their places, honourably chose the latter: the 
aforesaid

aforesaid representation and reply, his Excellency’s 
answer to them accompanying the same, and various 
other popular explanations given by his Excellency 
to the public, with the public proceedings on the 
same, together with various other documents con- 
nected with the subject, and the adopted Report of a 
Select Committee thereon, are all appended to the 
Petition for the more full information of the House, 
and the more ample communication of their wants 
and views: it is with pain, disappointment and 
humiliation they notice the reiterated declaration of 
his Excellency to conduct their affairs without the 
advice of his Executive Council, according to his 
own will and pleasure, which his public acts have 
already proved to be arbitrary and vindictive; and 
this view of his own sole ministerial power and au- 
thority, with a nominal responsibility to Downing- 
street, he has sustained before the public by mis- 
statements and misrepresentations so palpably op- 
osed to candour and truth as to destroy all hopes 
of further justice from his Government, all which is 
more fully set forth in the documents appended 
thereto : since the resignation of the late Council, his 
Excellency has formed another, composed of Robert 
Baidwin Sullivan, Esquire, the Honourable William 
Allan Augustus Baldwin, and John Elmsley, neither 
enjoying nor entitled to the political confidence of 
the people or their representatives: upon the for- 
mation of this Council, although R. B. Sullivan, 
Esquire, was sworn in, and appeared to the public 
as senior councillor, upon whom, in the event of 
the death or absence of his Excellency might devolve 
the administration of the Government, yet a secret 
agreement was entered into, written in the council 
chamber by his Excellency himself, by which was 
to be defeated the apparent succession of the senior 
Councillor to the administration of the Government; 
this arrangement was denied by his Excellency to 
them in his answer to their Address on the subject, 
while, on the other hand, the facts so denied are 
proved by the testimony of R. B. Sullivan, Esquire, 
and the Honourable Captain Baldwin, both of whom 
are still retained by his Excellency in the Council : 
for other instances of his deviation from candour 
and truth, as well as of his utter unacquaintance with 
the nature of the constitution of Upper Canada, and 
the mode in which it should be administered, they 
refer to the appended documents, wherein are also 
detailed other grievances of an urgent and serious na- 
ture, to all of which they humbly pray the serious, 
speedy and impartial attention of the iow, being 
denied the beneficial and constitutional operation of 
their local institutions for the management of their 
local affairs, being threatened with the exercise of the 
unadvised, arbitrary government of his Excellency, 
virtually irresponsible, and being satisfied that no- 
thing but an open, entire and honourable abandon- 
ment of this policy, equally unconstitutional and per- 
nicious, will ever restore their peace, welfare and 
good government. They have, in justice to the people 
whose civil and religious interests they are solemnly 
bound fearlessly to vindicate, been obliged, as a last 
resort, to stop, most reluctantly, the Supplies, and, 
for the attainment of redress in these and other 
matters contained in the Report —— to their 
Petition, they pray the aid of the House. 
Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 


Table.

Mr. O’ Connell reported from the Committee on

first day of this instant June the Committee pre- 
sented a Report to the House, wherein it was stated, 
that the case was not brought before the Committee 
till the 5th of May, in consequence of the Engineer 
of the line, Mr. William Cubitt, having been en- 
gaged in Scotland as Engineer of the Dundee Water- 
works, and also in Wales, on the Cardiff Harbour, 
and in Shropshire, Cheshire and Liverpool, on Canal 
business with Mr. Brickwood, the Secretary to the 
Exchequer Loan Bill Commissioners, and after his 
return to town, before Committees on the Dundee

mittee had sat ten days, viz. 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th,

June, and examined thirteen Witnesses, many of 
whom underwent protracted examinations on the 
part of the Promoters of the Bill, and also pro- 
tracted cross-examinations by the counsel for the 
opponents of the Bill; and that the Committee ad- 
journed their sittings from the 17th of May till after 
the Recess ; and that the Promoters of the Bill were 
not chargeable with any delay, or any attempt to 
delay the proceedings of the Committee : 

That in consequence of the number of Witnesses 
who then remained to be examined in support of the 
Bill, and also Witnesses to be examined in support 
of a rival Line in contemplation, the Promoters of 
which had appeared before the Committee as Peti- 
tioners, and cross-examined the Witnesses in support 
of the Bill, it would not be practicable, with justice 
to the Parties interested, for the Committee to con- 
clude the Evidence, and make their Report within 
the time limited for that purpose; and the Com- 
mittee therefore unanimously recommended that the

mined in support of that Line on the 14th instant, and

instant, and was re-examined on the 16th instant : 

That the Promoters of the said competing Line 
have intimated an intention of pay ae Witnesses 
in support of the said Line ; and that therefore the 
Report upon the said Bill cannot be made on the 20th 
instant, without great inconvenience to both Parties:

at those Ports; for Whitby a toll is levied of $d. per 
Newcastle chaldron, or 2d. on ten ton per London 
measure ; for Scurborough 4d. per Newcastle chal- 
dron ; for Burlington 4d. per Newcastle chaldron, 
or 1d. on ten ton per London measure: The last 
Act: for Whitby Harbour was passed in the year 
1827, and has no limitation; the last Act for Scar- 
borough Harbour was passed in the year 1823, for 
twenty-one years ; the last Act for Burlington Har- 
bour was passed in the year 1816, for twenty-one 

ears. 

: 4. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That, although under peculiar circumstances, the 
Harbour of Whitby has afforded protection to many 
Vessels, yet that it is very dangerous to enter in a gale 
of pin! wind blowing on shore ; that there is no 
safe roadstead; and, that from the construction of 
the Piers, there is so wide an opening to the swell 
from the north-east, that Vessels cannot ride in it 
safely during a gale below the bridge. 

5. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That there is no safe roadstead at Scarborough in an 
on-shore wind; that although in the present state 
of the Harbour, the entrance in a severe gale of wind 
on shore is attended with great danger, yet that as 
many as a hundred and seventeen Vessels have 
taken refuge there during one storm; and that in 
the course of fifteen years, one hundred and eighty- 
four Vessels have found refuge there in a disabled 
state, most of which, but for the existence of that 
Harbour, must have been lost: A plan for the im- 
provement of that Harbour has been submitted to 
the Committee, and it is the opinion of competent 
witnesses, that if that plan were carried into effect, it 
would afford a safe and more capacious Harbour, 
and easy of access during on-shore gales, parti- 
cularly to Vessels embayed between Flamborough 
Head and Whitby Rocks: The expense of these 
improvements is estimated at £.49,000; that the 
local dues and tolls collected from Vessels trading 
to the Port, are quite unequal to the support of the 
existing Harbour. 

6. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That Burlington Bay affords peculiar advantages to 
the Coasting Trade: The promontory of Flam- 
borough Head running out nearly five miles in the 
sea, and on which a Lighthouse is erected, forms a 
natural breakwater, under which Vessels of any 
depth and to any number can ride safely in northerly 
and north-easterly gales ; that although the Bay is 
open to the east and south-east, yet that a consider- 
able protection is afforded by the Smithwick Sands ; 
that the anchorage is good ; that during low water 
Vessels can bring up under Flamborough Head in 
almost any situation; and that there is no other 
place between the Frith of Forth and the Humber, 
where a Ship can stop a tide to get into a Harbour 
with safety. 

7. Resolved, That at the bottom of this Bay, 
distant from a mile and an half to two miles from 
the best anchorage ground, Burlington Harbour is 
situated; that in consequence of the dilapidated 
state of the Harbour, the Commissioners have, since 
the passing of the last Act, proceeded to construct 
new works, which were necessary for its maintenance 
and improvement; that about sixty yards of the 
new North Pier, being the outer end, are completed ; 
that it is the opinion of Mr. Walker, an eminent 
engineer, who te lately examined the Harbour, 


that these works are well constructed, and that, if 
fully carried into effect, with some alterations in the 
proposed plan for the Southern Pier, the Harbour 








A. 1836. 


would be more easy of access, and more capacious ; 
that Mr. Walker estimates the charge of biting 
these works at about £. 57,000. 

8. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
from a statement of the Funds, presented during the 
Session to the House of Commons, and inserted in 
the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Com- 
mitte, that more than one-third of the expenditure 
which has taken place since the year 1816, has been 
defrayed from the local funds; but that unless 
adequate funds in aid of the local are granted, not 
only the works now in progress must be suspended, 
but that the whole Harbour will shortly go to decay ; 
that it is, however, the opinion of the Clerk to the 
Commissioners, that if the Harbour were once com- 
pleted, that the local funds would be sufficient 
for its maintenance. 

9. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That from thirty to forty Vessels on an average 
yearly run for this Harbour in different states of 
distress, and that on the 1st of last May not fewer 
than twenty-six Vessels took refuge in this Harbour 
during a very severe storm: But the Committee 
are of opinion, that a very imperfect view of the im- 
portance of this Harbour to the Coasting Trade 
would be taken, if it were confined merely to the 
number of Vessels which may actually seek there 
an asylum ; upon the frequent and long continuance 
of north-easterly gales, the vast number of Vessels 
which are at those times collected in the Bay, the 
large supplies of provisions and other necessaries 
which are frequently required, the very heavy surf 
which during continued north-easterly gales does 
not allow a Vessel to land on the open beach, the 
high charges which would under such circumstances 
be made by Boatmen from the shore, when all these 
facts are carefully weighed, then only can the value 
of such a Harbour be duly appreciated. 

10. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That a very convenient and capacious Harbour which 
would be accessible in north-easterly winds, and at 
all times of the tide, could be formed at Redcar, 
near the mouth of the Tees, where nature appears to 
have done a great deal towards the formation of such 
a Harbour ; also, that a spot a little further south 
than Scarborough, called Filey Bay, affords great 
facilities for the same purpose: But the Committee 
cannot recommend to Parliament, that works of 
such magnitude necessarily attended with a very 
heavy expenditure, should be provided for by a pas- 
sing toll, either uponVessels or their cargoes; whether 
the interests of humanity or other great national 
objects may require that such Ports should be 
formed and kept up at the public expense, are points 
upon which the Committee are not prepared to offer 
an opinion. 

11. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee 
to be of vast importance, that every possible facility 
and security should be afforded to the very extensive 
Coasting Trade of this part of the Empire, particu- 
larly to that portion of it which is daeaik in the 
Coa! Trade, on which the regular supply and con- 
sequent cheapness of so necessary an article of con- 
sumption to this vast Metropolis mainly depend, 
that this constantly increasing demand can only be 
regularly met by an uninterrupted intercourse, at all 
seasons of the year, between London and the Ports 
of exportation on the north-east Coast of England ; 
that the Vessels so engaged are during many months 
of the year exposed to violent gales of on-shore 
winds, on an iron-bound Coast, to the great danger 
of life and property. 

12. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
That, although much evidence of a conflicting nature 
(both with respect to the general effects of Harbours 
of Refuge and the proper means of their support) 
has been offered to the Committee, upon a careful 
consideration of all the circumstances of the existing 
Harbours, to which their attention has been directed, 
with reference to their situation, their oeneeponeee

their maintenance, the state of their funds, the 
sanction of the present system by oft-renewed Acts 
of Parliament, combined with a due regard to the 
claims of humanity, and the safety of the valuable 
lives of an immense body of Seamen, the Com- 
mittee recommend, 

First. That a Passing Toll, not exceeding the pre- 
sent amount, upon all Coals exported from the Ports 
on the north-eastern Coast of the Kingdom, passing 
southwards, should be continued or granted under 
due regulations. 

Second. That, as soon as the works now in pro- 
gress, or the proposed 1 in the existin 
Harbours shall be completed, the said Tolls shal 
cease, or be modified in such manner as Parliament 
may limit. 

hird. That Vessels engaged on voyages in which 
they have paid the Passing Tolls, shall be exempt 
from all charges on entering the said Harbours in 
a state of distress during such voyage. 

13. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
that on the north-west Coast of Wales there is a 
great deficiency of Harbours of Refuge for Ships 
sailing to and from Liverpool ; that great facilities 
are offered for such a Harbour between the Great 
and Little Orme’s Head, which would prevent very 
great losses, as appears by a Return extracted from 
Lloyd’s Books, and would be a good station for 
Pilots required for taking Vessels into the Mersey. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed.

A Petition of Zalbot Glascock, was presented, Kilkenny City 
and read ;. setting forth, That the Petitioner lately Election. 
transmitted a Petition relative to the Election for the 
city of Kilkenny, and which Petition is ordered by the 
House to be taken into consideration on the twenty- 
first day of June instant; That, on learning from 
the published proceedings of the. House, that the 
Petitioner’s late Petition was received, he hastened 
to comply with the anticipated mandate which he 
knew would come from the House, and thereupon, 
as soon as practicable, he repaired to London, in 
order to comply with all requisites, and particularl 
to enter into the necessary securities to prosecute his 
complaint against the undue return of Mr. Daniel 
O’ Connell as still sitting Member for the City of 
Kilkenny ; that on Friday, the third day of June 
instant, he repeatedly called at the office of the Clerk 
of Recognizances in Parliament-street, and also on 
Saturday, the fourth day of June instant, but was 
not fortunate enough to find the principal, or any 
representative, at his office to have the names of 
his sureties taken ; that he called again repeatedly 
on Monday, the sixth day of June instant, when he 
at length saw Mr. Rose, who informed him, that the 
office had been kept open until twelve o’clock of 
the Saturday night preceding, to enable the Peti- 
tioner to comply with the rules as to his sureties, 
the papers relative to which had been prepared and 

. 3Q ready,

ready, but that he, Mr. Rose, thought that Petitioner 
was then, on Monday, too late; that the Petitioner 
also called repeatedly on the Speaker’s Secretary 
on Saturda MMT as can be testified by a mes- 
senger of the House, but was not fortunate enough 
to meet with him; that the Petition of the two 
Electors of Kilkenny was only received on Friday, 
the third day of June instant, by the Speaker, and, 
it is humbly submitted, that as Sunday was a dies 
non, the Petitioner was in full time on Monday to 
give the security to prosecute that Petition ; that 
since the presentation and reception of the Peti- 
tioner’s Petition, facts have come to the knowledge 
of the Petitioner, as well as some of the most re- 
spectable of the constituency of the city of Kilkenny, 
which will elucidate, if not prove, the mode by which 
elections in some parts of Jreland are effectuated, 
videlicet, by terrorism ; that it appears by the re- 
cords of the House, that the late honourable Mem- 
ber for Kilkenny accepted a stewardship, for which 
the Petitioner does not question his qualification, 
but which it is to be apprehended he may not long 
retain; that, in consequence of such acceptance of 
office, a vacancy occurred in the representation for 
the city of Kilkenny; that therefore, on or about 
the day of May, in the present Session, a 
new Writ was ordered for the city of Kilkenny; that 
the returning officers m a hurry gave short notice 
of trial, but Petitioner does not impute all the 
blame to those functionaries for being too derelict in 
their duty as impartial judicials, inasmuch as Peti- 
tioner believes that they thought they acted accord- 
ing to law, because under the authority of Govern- 
ment; as evidence whereof, the Petitioner waited 
upon each of the Sheriffs of Kilkenny several hours 
before the election had been advertised to be holden, 
videlicet, on the morning of the seventeenth of May, 
in order to pay them whatever might be the reason- 
able expense attendant upon a contested election, 
to which they were or might, even by usage, be 
entitled to receive ; that Petitioner, on the morning 
of the seventeenth of May, previous to ten o’clock, 
waited upon, and had a personal interview with Major 
Greene, the stipendiary magistrate of the district in 
which the election was advertised to be holden, for 
the purpose of procuring a police force to preserve 
the peace on the hustings; that said magistrate most 
kindly intimated his own intention to be present at 
the hustings, but he suggested, in order to provide 
such police force, it would be necessary that Peti- 
tioner should procure a requisition from the Sheriffs 
of Kilkenny, the returning officers, calling upon him 
in his magisterial a to supply such civil and 
military aid as might appear necessary; that ac- 
cordingly Petitioner did call upon each of the Sheriffs, 
the returning officers, one of whom is a retail grocer 
and the other a local attorney; that each of the 
Sheriffs contrived to be always absent from their 
homes, or then “ whereabouts,” on the eventful 
morning of the day when the election was advertised 
to be holden ; that accordingly not a single police- 
man was to be seen in the court-house, where the 
greatest disorder prevailed ; that one of those same 
Sheriffs, being an attorney, was employed to prepare 
the preliminaries for the election, oe’ had _ pre- 
viously been decided on in favour of the popular 
candidate, Mr. O’ Connell; that he did do the deed, 
hut when he managed to absent himself, as well as 
his colleague, Petitioner requested to know from the 
conducting clerk of the (attorney) Sheriff when the 
election would take place, and he was then and there 
informed that it could not be much sooner than 
twelve o’clock, inasmuch as he was only then in- 
grossing the return to the Writ by which Mr. O’ Con- 
nell was to be elected, and that the deed had still to 
be perfected, which could not be completed until 
nearly twelve, nor was it completed until nearly that 
hour, although the Sheriffs declared Mr. O’ Connell 
was duly elected at eleven o'clock ; that Petitioner 
then informed said confidential clerk that he had 





repeatedly called without seeing this same Sheriff; 
that the Petitioner had avowed himself a candidate, 
and was ready to pay all legal fees attendant upon 
the contested election, when said clerk intimated 
that the matter had been all along arranged before ; 
but Petitioner charges and Seaman to prove the fol- 
lowing facts: that the late Member for Dublin, and 
the present presuming sitting Member for Kilkenny, 
induced or influenced a Member of the other House 
of Parliament, at a period when Mr. O’Connell was 
de facto 1 Member of the House, to bestow a place 
upon the late Member for the city of Kilkenny, one 
Mr. Sullivan, which the present citizen and late 
Member was coerced to accept from fear, and yet 
does not hold it from fright ; that a new Writ was 
ordered on the day of May last; that there- 
upon an advertisement was inserted as privately as 
possible in a Kilkenny newspaper on the eleventh 
day of May last, the notice of which was short by 
one day, that an election would be held on the seven- 
teenth day of May, between the hours of eleven and 
twelve o’clock on said day; that Petitioner, as before 
stated, undertakes to prove that not even one pro- 
clamation was published on the morning when the 
said Mr. O’ Connell was declared duly elected, nor any 
one real voter tendered or polled on behalf of said 
Mr. O’Connell, although Petitioner had many in 
attendance, and a poll was demanded on his part ; 
yet said Mr. O’ Connell was declared duly elected by 
the returning officers so as aforesaid described, the 
one a retail grocer, and the other a local attorney ; 
that the said returning officers are the nominees in 
the corporation of Kilkenny of the Right honourable 
the Lord Duncannon, who possesses property, and 
consequently influence, in that city ; that, according 
to the rules of the corporation of that town, his 
Lordship’s dictation is almost omnipotent ; that, on 
the present and late occasion, in order to insure the 
return of the popular candidate for Kilkenny, and 
to support by an unconstitutional power a tottering 
government, by the return of Mr. O’ Connell to Par- 
liament, the said Lord Duncannon,a Cabinet Minister, 
sent for his own confidential counsellor and legal 
agent, videlicet, Kenny Purcell, Esquire, to Lon- 
don, who was dispatched thence to Kilkenny the 
moment the Writ had been moved for and ordered ; 
that when notice of its advertisement (which was 
even short as aforesaid) had been fixed for the seven- 
teenth May, the grossest attempt at fraud was prac- 
tised by the partisans of the nominee of said Lord 
Duncannon, whose own confidential agent was em- 
ployed (for the first time forsooth) as if agent for 
said Daniel O’Connell; that said Kenny Purcell, 
Esquire, never before was the known or confidential 
agent of the said Daniel O’ Connell, who notoriously 
employed as his agents in all his libel and election 
cases, Patrick Costello, Esquire, of the town of Kil- 
kenny, and William Ford, gentleman, attornies, but 
who, for some reasons best known to the parties 
themselves, declined to interfere even for their own 
client on the hustings; that Petitioner went to the 
law offices of the leading lawyers in Kilkenny to re- 
tain some one of them as conducting agent, but all 
declined, from fear of becoming unpopular with the 
peasantry ; that Petitioner, not dreading democracy, 
dared to stand the hazard of the die, and did so cer- 
tainly at personal risk, having subsequently received 
a wound for histemerity; but of that Petitioner does 
not and cannot complain; but he does complain 
that an unconstitutional power was exerted by a 
noble Lord, a Member of the other House of Par- 
liament, and his known agent, which Petitioner 
undertakes to prove, as follows: that one of His 
Majesty’s Cabinet Ministers, a Member of the Upper 
House of Parliament, and a Peer of the Realm, used 
an undue and illegal influence in a district in which 
he could employ it, to procuté the return of Mr. 
O’ Connell for the city of Kilkenny, without affording 
even a chance for a fair competition; that, as evi- 
dence thereof, Petitioner is willing to appeal to the 
evidence 


6 Witt. IV. 


evidence of the said Kenny Purcell himself, who, 
though an attorney, Petitioner believes to be a man 
of honour, and he knows he will and must declare 
whether in the entreaty said Mr. Purcell made to 
Petitioner not to attempt to go to the hustings on the 
morning of the 17th May last, he did not intimate that 
there would be personal danger attendant upon the 
consequences of his opposing Mr. O’ Connell; that 
Petitioner then asked oF said Mr. Purcell to procure 
him a hearing at the hustings, at all events, and that 
said Mr. Kenny Purcell stated, that he could not 
even procure a hearing for himself in opposition to 
Mr. Daniel O’ Connell, for whom he happened to be 
then conducting agent ; that Petitioner did, notwith- 
standing, proceed to the hustings, accompanied by 
his proposer and seconder (both registered electors), 
who demanded a poll; and, though in a terrific 
tumult, the said Mr. O’ Connell might, amidst the 
noisy din of democracy, have been declared to be duly 
elected, without any opportunity being afforded to 
other candidates to prove their pretensions, or even 
electors to make a Milles: and without one real or 
recognized registered voter having been polled for 
said Mr. O’ Connell, or one proclamation pronounced, 
Petitioner respectfully requests the House may take 
such measures as may be consistent with the honour 
of the House, and the dignity due to the House of 
Lords, with a view to require the attendance of a 
Cabinet Minister, who may be induced to acknowledge 
the fact of an exercise of unconstitutional power or 
perchance, to negative the imputation ; and that if 
the House should deem this not a case of election,

insufficient public lamps and lights, and that it 
would be a great advantage to all the inhabitants 
thereof, and to all persons travelling along the said 
roads, streets, and places, if they were lighted with 
Gas ; that Petitions from the Mayor, Aldermen, and 
Burgesses of Stockport, from the Inhabitants of the 
township of Heaton Norris, from the Inhabitants 
of the township of Brinnington, from the Inhabitant 
Rate-payers of Stockport, and from the Managing 
Committee of the Police Commissioners of Stock- 
port, containing various allegations, which for the 
most part arose out of or depended upon an alleged 
intention on the part of the town council of Stock- 
port to erect Gas Works of their own, and the 
preference which the Petitioners would give to such 
Gas Works over the existing and proposed works of 
the Petitioners, have been presented to the House 
against the said Bill, praying that the same might 
not be allowed to pass into a law in its present 
form, and that the Petitioners might be heard, by 
themselves, their counsel or agents, before the Com- 
mittee on the said Bill ; that the said Bill having been 
read a first and second time, the same, and also the 
said several Petitions, were referred to a Commit- 
tee; that the Promoters of the said Bill, as well as 
the Petitioners against the same, respectively ‘a 
peared by counsel before the said Committee on the 
19th and 31st days of May last, and on the 1st 
day of June instant, and various witnesses were 
produced and examined, as well on the behalf of 
the Promoters, for the purpose of supporting the 
allegations in the preamble of the said Bill, as on 
behalf of the said Petitioners, in opposition to the 
same ; that evidence was adduced by the Promoters

such preamble, and that such evidence was not in 
any respect either contradicted, or even called into 
doubt or question, on the part of the said Petitioners;

reported to the House, that the same had not been

and, in support of their claim to the House to appeal 
against the said vote, the Petitioners beg leave to 
refer to the Minutes of the Committee for the 
evidence given in support of such preamble, in the 
fullest confidence that a re-consideration and ex-

the evidence adduced on the part of the promoters

The House was moved, That the Report which Dublin ang 


was yesterday made from the Committee on the 
Dublin and Drogheda Railway Bill for an exten- 
sion of the time for the Committee on the said Bill 
to make their Report, might be read ; and the same 
being read ; 

Ordered, That the time be further enlarged till 
Friday, the 1st day of July next. 


Resolved, That this House will, at the rising of 
the House this day, adjourn till Monday next. 


Ordered, That all Committees have leave to sit, 
notwithstanding the adjournment of the House. 


Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer reported from 
the Committee appointed to draw up Reasons to be 
offered to the Lords at a Conference, for disagreeing 
to certain of the Amendments made by the Lords 
to the Bill, intituled, An Act for the Regulation of 
Municipal Corporations and Borough Towns in 
Ireland; That the Committee had drawn up Reasons 
accordingly, which they had directed him to report ; 
and the same were read, as follow : 

In the discharge of the high trust committed to 
them by the Constitution of this Realm, the Com- 
mons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 
Ireland feel it to be their duty to guard against the 
establishment of any precedent inconsistent with 
the maintenance of that good correspondence and 
understanding between the Two Houses of Par- 
liament which is essential to the framing and enacting 
of good laws, to the ease and contentment of all 
classes of the King’s subjects, and the security, 
honour and dignity of His Majesty’s Crown. 

In considermg the Amendments made by the 
Lords in the Bill for the Regulation of Municipal 
Corporations in Zreland, the Commons are bound 
to advert to the mode of procedure adopted in the 
other House of Parliament. 

The Bill passed by the House of Commons pro- 
vided for the Regulation of Municipal Corporations 
and Borough Towns in Jreland, and was framed 
upon the principle of reforming existing abuses, but 
of preserving within certain Cities and Towns in 
Lreland a system of municipal government. 

It appears from the Minutes of the House of 
Lords, that, in pursuance of an Instruction from 
the House, the principle of the Bill has been alto- 
gether altered in Committee, and a change of Title 
has been consequently rendered indispensable. 

By the Bill returned from the Lords it is proposed 
to abolish Municipal Corporations throughout all 
Ireland, and to place the management of all cor- 
porate property under Commissioners, appointed by 
the Lord Lieutenant of Jreland, and holding their 
offices during his pleasure. 

The Bill, as amended, founded on a new principle, 
bearing a new Title, and varying in its enactments 
from the Bill sent to the other House of Parliament, 
must therefore be considered as an original measure. 
The Commons are far from questioning the un- 
doubted right of the Lords to exercise their undis- 
puted powers and privileges in modifying or rejecting 
legislative measures submitted to them; but as the 
due and careful examination in each House of Par- 
liament of the principle and details of all legislative 
enactments passing through the various stages as 
prescribed by the orders, ancient usages and con- 
stitution of Parliament, is essential to the making 
of just laws, and as such due and careful examina- 
tion is rendered difficult, if not wholly impossible, 
if original Bills are transmitted in the form of 
Amendments from the one House of Parliament 
to the other, the Commons trust that the course 
pursued on the present occasion by the Lords may 
not be drawn into precedent. 

But while the Commons have felt it to be their 
duty to state the Reasons which preclude them from 
agreeing to the Bill as amended, yet, from an _—&lt;

desire to maintain undisturbed that good under- 
standing and correspondence between the Two 
Houses which they consider essential to the well- 
being of the British Monarchy, and from a con- 
viction of the evil consequences of leaving great 
and admitted grievances without present and ade- 
uate remedy, they have si to take into 
their consideration the Lords’ Amendments, in an 
earnest hope that such a measure may be thereon 
founded as shall meet the concurrence of the other 
House of Parliament, as shall be consistent with 
the principles of legislation adopted in the reform 
of the Municipal Corporations of Great Britain, 
satisfying the just expectations of His Majesty’s 
subjects in Jre/and, and thereby maintaining and 
strengthening the union between Great Britain 
and /reland. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment pro- 
posed by your Lordships Pr. 1. 1. 1., the said 
Amendment being to leave out from the word 
“ Whereas” to the word “be” in 1. 11., for the 
following Reasons : 

Because the restoration of the Preamble, as it 
passed the House of Commons, is rendered 
necessary by the alterations which it is pro- 
posed to make in the clauses. 

The Commons propose to add the words “ And 
whereas” before the words “ it is expedient” in 
me — proposed to be inserted by your Lordships 

r1.i. 1. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment Pr. 
1. 1, 23, 24.; they also disagree to the Amendment 
1, 28. 

Pr. 1. 1. penult. The Commons propose to leave 
out the words “ Schedule (A.)” in the Amendment 
proposed by your Lordships, and to insert the word 
“‘ Schedules.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments Pr. 2. 
1. 1. and in |]. 2. and in 1. 3., and in 1. 3. and 4., and 
inl. 7. and in 1. 10., and in 1. 11. and 12., and in 
1.18. 

Pr. 3. 1. 3. and 4. The Commons disagree to the 
Amendment. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments Pr. 3. 
1. 5.1. 12. 1. 13. 1.29. 1. 31. 1. 34. 1.35.; Pr. 4. 1. 2. 
1. 13. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment Pr. 4. 
1, 29., the said Amendment being to leave out from 
the word “ the ” to the word “ provided ” in 1. 33., 
for the same reasons as are stated for disagreeing 
to the Amendment Pr. 5. 1. 20.; and propose to 
amend the words proposed to be inserted by your 
Lordships in 1. 33. by adding before the words 
“ Commissioners for the time being” the words 
“ or to the,” and 1. 8. in the said Amendment, after 
the words “ be no such,” to insert the words “ Bo- 
* rough or.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments Pr. 5. 
in |. 7. and in 1. 19. 

The Commons have taken into consideration the 
Amendment proposed by your Lordships Pr. 5. 1. 20., 
the said Amendment being to leave out from the 
word “ purchase”’ to the word “‘ And” in Pr. 11. 
1. 13., including therein six Clauses. The Commons 
proceeded to consider the said Amendment Clause 
by Clause. The Commons disagree to so much of 
the said Amendment as relates to the leaving out 
the first of the said Clauses, namely, from the word 
“ purchase ”’ Pr. 5. 1. 20. to the word “ And”’ Pr. 6. 
1. 19., for the following Reasons: 

Because the Commons cannot consent to abolish 

a branch of the Institutions of this free 

country which is coeval with the earliest 

connexion between Great Britain and Ire- 
land, which is founded upon charters granted 
by His Majesty’s royal predecessors, and is 
recognized by the statute law of the realm 
at various periods, more particularly in the 
Act of Settlement and the Act of Union 
between Great Britain and Ireland. 

Vou. 91.

Because, as the Imperial Parliament has passed 
laws for Great Britain reforming the exist- 
ing corporations, but providing a permanent 
system of municipal government, the Com- 
mons are not prepared to consent to an 
enactment for Jreland irreconcilable wit 
those sound principles which haye given ease 
and contentment to the inhabitants of the 
corporate Cities and Towns in G'reat Britain, 
and have been conducive to the common weal. 

Because it appears to the Commons essentially 
necessary to the best interests of Great Bri- 
tain and Ireland, and to the maintenance of 
the legislative union between the two Coun- 
tries, that the same general principles of 
legislation should be applied to both parts of 
the Empire, subject to such modifications as 
local circumstances may render indispensable 
or expedient. 

Because, if the rights, immunities and fran- 
chises granted and continued to municipal 
corporations in Great Britain are in Ireland 
abolished or withheld, the Commons are 
apprehensive that a spirit of distrust and 
discontent will be produced in Ireland, lessen- 
ing the confidence reposed in the decisions 
of Parliament, endangering the public tran- 
qullity, and thereby impairing the strength, 
the resources and the security of the British 
Empire. 

Because the Commons consider the discharge 
of local duties, and the enjoyment of local 
privileges, under a system of self-government, 
as established in the Acts for the Reform of 
the Municipal Corporations of Great Britain, 
to be among the most efficient guarantees 
and securities for peace, good order and con- 
tentment, and to afford the surest means of 
directing the active ambition of the free sub- 
jects of a constitutional Monarchy to just 
and legitimate objects, thus ensuring obe- 
dience to the laws, and an attachment to the 
constitution of the Realm. 

The Commons disagree to so much of the said 
Amendment as relates to the leaving out of the 
second of the said Clauses, namely, from the words 
“this Act,” Pr. 6. 1. 19. to the word “ And,” Pr. 7. 
1. 4, for the reasons already stated; but the Com- 
mons propose the following Amendments to the said 
Clause, to leave out in Pr. 6. 1. 23. from (“ B,”) to 
“ respectively,” 1. 25, and also to leave out from the 
word “ Parliament,” 1. 35. to the end of the Clause 
Pr. 7. 1. 4. 

The Commons disagree to so much of the said 
Amendment as relates to the leaving out of the 
third of the said Clauses, namely, from the word 
“ direct,” Pr. 7. 1. 4. to the word “ And,” Pr. 9. 
1. 25. for the reasons already stated; but the Com- 
mons propose to amend the said Clause by leaving 
out from the word “ Borough,” Pr. 7. 1. 30. to the 
word “ Provided,” Pr. 8. 1. 12. and in 1. 21. by 
leaving out from “ Ten pounds” to the words “ for 
“ the space,” in 1. 23. 

The Commons disagree to so much of the said 
Amendment as relates to the leaving out of the three 
remaining Clauses, namely, from the word “School,”’ 
Pr. 9. 1, 25. to the word “ And,” Pr. 11. 1. 13. for 
the reasons already stated. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments Pr, 11. 
1. 35. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments Pr. 11. 
1. 38. and in |. penult, Pr. 12. 1. 1. and in 1. 2. 3, 4. 
and 5. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amendment 
Pr. 12, 1. 8. by leaving out from the words “ not- 
“ withstanding he”’ to the word “ shall” in 1. 3. and 
in the same Amendment, |. 15. by leaving out from 
the words “ notwithstanding he” to the word “ shall” 
in 1.17. in the words proposed to be inserted by your 
Lordships after the word “ passed” in Pr, 12. |. 8.

The Commons have taken into consideration the 
Amendment proposed by your Lordships Pr. 12. 1. 8. 
the said Amendment being to leave out from the 
word “ passed” to the word “And,” Pr. 35. 1. 29. 
including therein Twenty-two Clauses. The Com- 
mons proceeded to take into consideration the said 
Amendment Clause by Clause. The Commons dis- 
agree to leaving out of the first, second, third, 
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, 
eleventh and twelfth of the said Clauses, namely, 
from the word “ passed,” Pr. 12. 1. 8. to “ And,” 
Pr. 26. 1. 3. for the reasons already stated. 

The Commons disagree to the Siasina out of the 
thirteenth of the said Clauses, namely, from the 
words “such Borough,” Pr. 26. 1. 3. to the words 
“ And be it Enacted,’ Pr. 27. 1. 35. for the reasons 
already stated ; but they propose to amend the said 
Clause by leaving out from the words “ his debts,” 
Pr. 26, 1. 24. to the words “or shall occupy,” 
Pr. 27. 1. 5. 

The Commons disagree to leaving out the four- 
teenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, 
nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-se- 
cond of the said Clauses, namely, from the words 
“ property therein,” Pr. 27. |. 35. to the word 
“ And,” Pr. 35. 1. 29. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment Pr. 35. 
1, 29. and also to the Amendment in I. 30. and also 
to the Amendment in I. 37. 38. penult. and also to 
the Amendment in |. ult. and also in the same line 
to the leaving out of the words from “(A.)” to “ in” 
in Pr. 36. 1, 22.; but they propose to amend the 
said words so proposed to « left out by leaving out 
the words “and (C.)” after “(B.)” and also by 
leaving out from the words “the provisions of this 
Act,” Pr. 36.1. 10. to the words “ provided also in 
“every Borough,” Pr. 36. 1. 21. 

The Commons disagree to the words proposed to 
be inserted Pr. 36. 1. 22. instead of the words pro- 
posed to be left out, and also to the words proposed 
to be inserted after the word “ which,” and also to 
the Amendment Pr. 36. |. 24. and in 1. 27. and in 
1, 29. and in 1. 30. and in 1. 31. and in 1. 35. and to 
the Amendment in Pr. 37. 1. 3. and im 1. 4. and to 
the words proposed to be added to the end of the 
same Clause after the word “ office.” 

The Commons proceeded to the consideration of 
the Amendment Pr. 37. 1. 4. the said Amendment 
being to leave out from the word “ office” to the 
word “ And” in Pr. 67. 1. 3. including therein 
Twenty-five Clauses. The Commons proceeded to 
consider the said Amendment Clause by Clause. 
The Commons disagree to the leaving out the first 
of the said Clauses, namely, from the word “ office,” 
Pr. 37. 1. 6. to the word “ And,” Pr. 38. 1. 4. but 
propose to amend the said Clause by leaving out the 
words “the said Schedules (A.) and (B.),” Pr. 37. 
l. 16. and inserting the words “ the said Schedule 
(A.),” for the reasons already stated. 

The Commons disagree to the leaving out of the 
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth 
of the said Clauses, namely, from the word “ men- 
“ tioned,” Pr. 38. 1. 4. to “ And,” Pr. 43. 1. 26. for 
the same reasons. 

The Commons disagree to the leaving out of the 
ninth of the said Clauses, from the words “ hold 
“ office,” Pr. 43. 1. 26. to “ And,” Pr. 45. 1. 18. for 
the same reasons; but propose to amend the said 
Clause by leaving out from the words “ One thou- 
“sand pounds,” Pr. 44. 1. 22. to the word “ over,” 
1. 24. and from the word “ debts,” 1. 26. to the word

Pr. 45. 1. 18. to the word “ And,” Pr. 56. |. 28.

namely, from the words “ of such County,” Pr. 56- 
]. 28. to the word “ And,” Pr. 65. 1. 21. 

The Commons disagree to the leaving out of the 
twenty-fifth of the said Clauses, namely, from the 
word “Court,” Pr. 65. 1. 21. to the word “ And,” 
Pr. 67. 1. 3. for the same reasons. 

Cuause (A.) The Commons disagree to Clause 
(A.) proposed by your Lordships, for the reasons 
already stated. 

CravuseE (B.) The Commons agree to Clause (B.) 
proposed by your Lordships, with the following 
Amendment: Fo. 1. |. 3. to leave out from the word 
“ shall,” to the word “be,” in. 1. 5. and to insert 
“ at the time of the passing of this Act.” 

CiavuseE(C.) The Commons agree to the Clause 
(C.) with the following Amendment: Fo. 1. 1. 3. 
leave out from the word “ who” to the word “ shall” 
in |. 5, and insert “ at the time of the passing of this 
“ Act.” 

Ciause (D.) The Commons disagree to Clause 
(D.) proposed by your Lordships. 

Cuiavuse (E.) The Commons disagree to Clause 
(E.) proposed by your Lordships. 

Ciavuse (F.) The Commons disagree to Clause 
(F.) proposed by your Lordships. 

Ciause (G.) The Commons disagree to Clause 
(G.) proposed by your Lordships, for the following 
Reasons : 


Because the conduct of the several Corporations 
in Ireland, as set forth in the Reports pre- 
sented to Parliament, has been such as to 
render it wholly inexpedient to continue in 
office by one general Enactment all the ser- 
vants of such Corporations, intrusted as the 
are with the BL of duties highly 
important to the mercantile and commercial 
interests of the several Cities and Towns in 
Ireland. 

Crause (H.) The Commons disagree to the Clause 
(H.) proposed by your Lordships, for the following 
Reason : 

Because such Clause would be inconsistent 
with the other Amendments proposed to be 
made by the Commons. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendments Pr. 67. 
l. 4. 1.5. 1.9. 1.10. 1.11. 1.14. 1.15. 1.16. 1. 19. 
1, 23. 1. 26. 1. 30. and in Pr. 68. 1. 11. the same 
being the whole of the Amendments proposed by 
your Lordships to the Clauses commencing Pr. 67. 
l. 3. and ending Pr. 71. 1. 20. for the following 
Reasons : 

Because the grant of such compensation, with- 
out reference to duties of office performed by 
the party claiming compensation, is unprece- 
dented, and likely to lead to injurious re- 
sults. 

Because the payment of pensions, allowances, 
and annual sums, without reference either to 
the time at which such pensions, allowances 
or annual sums were granted, or to any public 
services rendered by the persons to whom 
such grants have been made, whether sup- 
ported by an alleged established usage or a 
previous resolution, may entail on the Cities 
and Towns of Ireland charges created con- 
trary to law, unsupported by any just autho- 
rity, and may thus continue and sanction 
abuses of trusts, augmenting the local bur- 
thens and diminishing the revenue applicable 
to the common good. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments 
Pr. 71. 1. 21. 1. 25. 1. 26. 1. 29. 1. 30. Pr. 72. 1. 1. 
1. 6. 1. 10. being the whole of the Amendments pro- 
posed to be made to the Clause commencing Pr. 71. 
I. 20. and ending Pr. 72. 1. 25. for the same rea- 
sons. 

The Commons proceeded to consider the Amend- 


ment to leave out from the word “ fund,” Pr. 72. 1.25. 
to 











6 Wit. IV. 


to the word “ And,” P. 110. 1. 15. including therein 
thirty-two Clauses. 

The Commons disagree to leave out the first, 
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, 
ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, four- 
teenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, 
nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second 
and the twenty-third Clauses, from the word “ fund,” 
Pr. 72. 1. 25. to the word “ And,” Pr. 99. 1. 26. for 
the following Reason : 

Because such Clauses are rendered necessary 
by the Clauses proposed by the Commons to 
be reinstated. 

The Commons disagree fo the leaving out the 
Clause Pr. 99. 1. 26. from the word “ Act” to the 
word “ And” in Pr. 100. 1.11. and propose to 
amend the same by leaving out the words “ Sche- 
“ dules (A.) (B.)(C.)” Pr. 99. 1.38. and 39. and in- 
serting the words “ Schedule (A.)” 

The Commons disagree to leaving out the Clause 
commencing Pr.100. |. 11. and ending Pr. 102. 1. 5. 

The Commons disagree to leaving out the Clause 
commencing Pr. 102. 1. 5. and ending Pr. 102. 1. 39. 
and propose to amend the same by leaving out the

serting the words “ Schedule (A.)” 

The Commons disagree to the leaving out the 
twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, thirti- 
eth, thirty-first and thirty-second of the said Clauses, 
namely, from the word “ satisfied,” in Pr. 102. 1. 39. 
to the word “ And,” in Pr. 110. 1. 15. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments, 
Pr. 110. 1.17. 1.18. 1. 30. 1.31. and in Pr. 111. 1. 25. 
1.27. 1.33. and in Pr. 113. 1.8. and in Pr. 115.

The Commons proceeded to consider the Amend- 
ment Pr. 121. 1.21. the said Amendment being to 
leave out from the word “ passed” tothe word “ And,” 
in Pr. 131. 1. 9. the same including therein six 
Clauses. The Commons agree to leave out the first 
and second of the said Clauses, namely, from the word 
“ passed,” Pr. 121. 1. 21. to the word “ And,” in 
Pr. 124. 1.9. The Commons disagree to leave out 
the third, fourth, fifth, sixth of the said Clauses, 
namely, from the word “ borough,” Pr. 124. 1. 9. to 
the word “ And,” Pr. 131. 1. 9. 

Cxavuse(I.) The Commons propose to amend the 
Clause (I.) in the following manner: To leave out 
from the word “ Whereas,” in |. 1. to the end of the 
Clause, and add the following words, “ by the said 
“ recited Act of the ninth year of the reign of his 
late Majesty King George the Fourth, it is,amongst 
other things, enacted, that upon the application of 
“ twenty-one or more householders residing in any 
“« City, Town Corporate, Borough, Market Town, or 
“ other Town in Jreland, the lighting, watching, 
cleansing or paving of which is not provided for 
under any Act of Parliament, each of such house- 
holders occupying a dwelling-house or other te- 
nement of the annual value of Twenty pounds or 
more, it shall be lawful for the Lord Lieutenant or 
other Chief Governor or Governors of Jreland to 
authorize the carrying of the said Act into execu- 
tion, and for that purpose to order and direct that 
a Meeting shall be convened; BE it Enacted, 
That so much of the said Act as requires or may 
be construed to require that an application shall 
be made by any number of householders to the 
Lord Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Go- 
vernors in any Borough named in the first section 
of the Schedule (C.) to this Act annexed, shall be 
and the same is hereby repealed, but so as not to 
affect any act already done under the provisions 
of said Act ; and that from and after the passing 
of this Act it shall and may be lawful for the 
Lord Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Go- 
vernors of Ireland, without any application from 

Vou. 9}.

any householder of any of the Towns mentioned 
“ in the first section of the said Schedule (C.) to 
“ direct that the said recited Act shall be carried 
into execution in all or any of the said Towns, 
and for that purpose to direct that any Two or 
more Justices of the Peace resident within Ten 
miles of any such town shall convene a Meetin 
for the purpose of carrying the said Act, as altere 
by this Act, into execution, and shall preside 
thereat, and such order and direction shall be sig- 
nified and published in the same manner as an 
order made under the said recited Act is thereby 
directed to be signified and published; and at every 
Meeting so convened, the persons who under the 
provisions of the said Act would be entitled to vote 
at a Meeting convened under the said Act shall 
be entitled to vote; and it shall not be lawful for 
“ the said Meeting to determine that the provisions 
“ of the said Act shall not be carried into execution 
as directed by such order; but the persons so 
assembled and entitled to vote shall proceed to 
elect Commissioners, as directed by the said Act, 
from among the persons aera according to 
the provisions of said Act: Provided always, how- 
ever, That in case a poll shall be demanded, it 
shall not be continued longer than the hour of 
four of the clock in the afternoon on the second 
day of polling, but may be closed before that hour 
after the lapse of one hour without any person 
having tendered his vote, and the Commissioners 
elected as aforesaid shall have all the powers, 
rights and privileges which Commissioners elected 
under the said recited Act now have, and shall 
continue in office for the same period, and be 
bound to perform the same duties, and be liable 
to the same penalties as the Commissioners under 
the said Act are, and new Commissioners to supply 
their places shall be elected as is provided by the 
said Act with respect to the Commissioners elected 
under the provisions thereof,” for the following 
Reasons : 

Because these enactments of the Lords, if not 
amended, are wholly at variance with the 
facts of the case, as appearing on the face of 
the Report of the Commissioners presented 
to both Houses of Parliament. 

Because if the malversation and abuse of trust 
by existing Corporations, be such as to im- 
pose an obligation upon the legislature to 
extinguish or remodel all such Corporations, 
a continuance of the existing corporators in 
the discharge of their duties is inexpedient 
and unjust. 

Because the property of many of the existing 
Corporations has been granted in trust for 
paving and improving several of the Cities 
and Towns in Jreland, and for other public 
uses, and consequently these enactments 
would continue the powers of the existing 
Corporations, or of the governing bodies and 
leading members thereof, by a law which 
proposed to provide for their absolute aboli- 
tion and extinction. 

Because these enactments would in some cases 
have the effect of converting a terminable 
trust or office into an office or trust for the 
life of the party, and that, not in the case of 
persons appointed or elected with such intent, 
but for the benefit of such as are casually in 
office on a given day. 

Because such enactments might create an im- 
pression, that, whilst the legislature proposed 
to abolish the existing Corporations, care 
was taken to continue and to sanction the 
power and authority of the existing cor- 
porators, 

Ciavuse (K.) The Commons propose to amend 
Clause (K.), proposed by your Lordships, in the follow- 
ing manner : To leave out from the word “that” in Pr.

Ciause (M.) The Commons propose to amend

“ gaid.” The Commons: consider these Amend- 
ments necessary, for the followmg Reasons: 

Because the estates and personal property of 
Corporations, being granted for local pur- 
poses, will be most advantageously adminis- 
tered by those who are at once locally 
interested and locally responsible. 

Because, in so far as these corporate funds are 
applicable to the purposes of paving, watch- 
ing and lighting, and other analogous public 
services, which must otherwise be provided 
for by local taxation, it is just that the parties 
authorized and empowered to impose these 
local taxes should also be intrusted with the 
management and application of the corporate 
estates. 

Because the effect of placing the management 
of these estates and funds in the hands of 
Commissioners holding office during the 
pleasure of the Lord Lieutenant would be the 
creation of an undue influence in the several 
Cities and Towns, inconsistent with their 
freedom and political independence. 

Because the transfer of the nght of nominating 
various public servants and officers from a 
local authority to Commissioners holding 
office during the pleasure of the Lord Lieu- 
tenant will increase the patronage of the 
Crown, and is unsupported by the suggestion 
of any adequate grounds either of necessity 
or of ten 

CiavusE (C.) The Commons propose to amend 
Clause (C.), by leaving out from the word “ who,” 
Fo. 1. 1. 3. to “ shall,” in 1. 6., and in 1. 8. leave out

Amendments to Clause (P.): To leave out from the 
word “who” in 1. 3. to the word “ shall” in 1. 5. 
L. 11. to leave out the words “ Schedule (A.),” and

Clause. 

Criavuse (Q.) The Commons propose to amend 
Clause (Q.), by leaving out all the words from the 
first word “ And ” and inserting the words “ whereas 
“ it may be expedient that the powers now vested

sundry Acts of Parliament for paving or lighting 
or cleansing, or supplying with water, or improving 
certain Boroughs named in the said Schedule (C.),

“ them expedient, at a meeting to be called for that 
“ purpose, transfer in writing all the powers vested 
“ in them as such Trustees by any such Act or Acts

“ sioners of such Borough; and the said Commis-

“ the same duties as if their names had been ori- 
“ ginally inserted in such Act or Acts (or as if they 
“ had been elected under the provisions of any suc 
“ Act or Acts), as such Trustees respectively,” for 
the following Reasons : 

Because the estates and personal property of 
Corporations, being granted for local pur- 
poses, will be most ‘euetaaneele admuinis- 
tered by those who are at once locally inte- 
rested and locally responsible. 

Because, in so far as these corporate funds are

which must otherwise be provided for by 
local taxation, it is just that the parties autho- 
rized and empowered to impose such. local

of their estates and funds in the hands of 
Commissioners holding office during the 
pleasure of the Lord Lieutenant would be the 
creation of an undue influence in the several 
Cities and Towns of Ireland, inconsistent with 
their freedom and political independence. 

Because the transfer of the right of nominating

local authority of Commissioners holding 
office during the pleasure of the Lord Lieu- 
tenant would increase the patronage of the 
Crown, without the suggestion of any ade- 
quate grounds either of necessity or of ex- 
pediency. 

Ciause (R.) The Commons propose to amend 
the Clause (R.), by leaving out the word “appointed,” 
1. 3. and inserting “ elected,” and by leaving out all 
the words from the word “ shall,” in the same line,

“ in the name of their clerk for the time being.”

1. 21.; 1. 24. leave out from “ effectual ” to “ and in

Criavuss (D 1.) The Commons propose to insert, 
Fo. 1. 1. 2. after “ said” the words “ Council or ;” 
1. 4. after “ the” insert “ Borough or.” 

CuiavseE (E 1.) The Commons propose, I. 3. to in- 

sert after “‘ said” the words “ Council or;” 1. 4. 
leave out from “to” to the end of 1. 12; 1. 19. after 
“ Town” insert “ or Borough ;” Fo. 2. 1. 1. leave

“ or demise and lease, the property comprised in 
such Fund in the same manner, and with the same 
approbation, and subject to the same conditions, 
as the Council of any Borough named in the said 
Schedules (A.) and (B.)” 
Criavuse (F 1.) The Commons propose, 1. 16. to 
leave out from “ town” to “ where,’ 1.19; Fo. 2. 
1. 2. leave out the word “ Recorder;” 1. 5. leave

leave out from “ thereof” to the end of |. 1. fo. 3; 
1. 3. leave out from “ Commissioners ”’ to “ for” in 
1. 4. for the following Reasons : 

Because the enactment that such surplus 
revenue may be applied to the public benefit 
of the several Towns is vague and indeter- 
minate, and leaves too wide a discretion to 
the nominees of the Lord Lieutenant. 

Because it. is proposed in this Enactment to 
sanction the appropriation of corporate reve- 
nues to the use of local boards or trustees 
acting under a statutable authority ; and the 
public revenues of the Cities and Towns may 
thus be applied to purposes of limited useful- 
ness, by which the general interests of the 
inhabitants may not be promoted. 

Because this Enactment may sanction a misap- 
plication of the corporate funds from the 
public purposes to which they were originally 
destined, and to which for the benefit of the 
country they should still continue to be ap- 
plied. 

Cuiavuss (G 1.) The Commons propose I. 2. after

Because, if the conduct of the existing Cor- 
porations in Jreland has been such as to

a more permanent title in their several offices

rence are such as appear to them to be wholl 
irreconcilable with the principle of the Bill 
as introduced, and no less at variance with 
the principles adopted in reforming the Muni- 
cipal Corporations of Great Britain. 

From these leading principles the Commons 
think it would be inexpedient, unwise and 
unjust to depart. In an Address carried b 
both Houses to the foot of the Throne, a 
determination was expressed to preserve in- 
violate the Legislative Union, but at the 
same time to remove all just causes of com- 
plaint, and to promote all well-considered 
measures of improvement. Were the present 
Corporations of Ireland, or the governing 
bodies thereof, to be continued im the exercise 
of their functions, proved and admitted as 
has been their scandalous abuse of trust, the 
Commons feel that a just cause of complaint 
would remain unremoved. And if a Bill 
were permitted to become law extinguishing 
in Ireland all traces of those Municipal In- 
stitutions which have existed for upwards of 
six centuries, and which at no former period, 
even during mternal commotion and civil 
war, it was ever proposed to abolish, the 
Commons do not conceive that enactments 
of such an unprecedented nature would come 
within the description of those well con- 
sidered measures of improvement which Par- 
liament has pledged itself to promote. 


The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill:—And 
that Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer do go to the 
Lords, and desire the said Conference. 


A Petition of Inhabitants of Colchester ;—Fin- Municipal

House not to pass the Municipal Corporations (Jre-

them to state the foregoing Reasons for their 
Disagreement with certam of the Amend- 
ments sent to them by the Lords. 

In the Bill, as now amended, the Commons 
have consented to confine the establishment 
of Town Councils to Twelve considerable 
Cities and Towns, of which the wealth and 
importance render them well suited to such 
system of local government. The Commons 
have further provided for the local govern- 
ment of Twenty Cities and Towns of lesser 
extent and population, by applying to them 
the enactments of a Statute specially relied 
upon in the Amendments of the Lords. Within 
these several Cities and Towns it cannot be 
doubted but that the wealth, the intelligence, 
and the public spirit of the inhabitants will 
supply both a constituent and a representa- 
tive body fully qualified for the performance 
of local duties. The Commons have excluded 
from the immediate operation of the Bill as 
returned to the Lords, Eighteen Towns, in 
which the necessity of the legislative inter- 
ference is less apparent.

intituled, An Act for putting an end to the separate 
Palatine Jurisdiction of the County Palatine of 
Durham; and the same were read, as follow:

their aforesaid complaints, and added others in a 
second Petition presented to the House during the 
last Session of the Imperial Parliament ; and that 
no opportunity of meeting the complaints contained 
in the aforesaid Petitions of the House of Assembly 
of Lower Canada by any counter statement on 
his behalf has ever been afforded to the Petitioner, 
so that the complaints of the House of Assembly 
against the Petitioner remain to this day unanswered 
before the House, to the prejudice of his character 
as a public officer; the Petitioner therefore prays, 
That the House will be pleased to afford him such 
relief in the premises as the House in its wisdom 
ard justice may see fit; and he further prays the 
House to believe that he has nothing more at heart 
than that every act of his administration of the 
Government of Lower Canada should undergo the 
strictest and most searching investigation. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table ; and be printed. 


Ordered, That leave be given to bring in a Bill

Amendments made by the Lords to the Bill, inti- 
tuled, “ An Act for making a Railway from Leeds 
to Derby, to be called, ‘ The North Midland Rail- 
way ;” That the Committee had drawn up Reasons 
accordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House, as follow : 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by your Lordships in Pr, 235.1. 15. it being after 
the word “ up” to insert the words “ unless any 
“ of such boards, stones or other conspicuous marks 
“‘ shall have been removed or obliterated without 
“ the privity of the said Company, in which case 
“ the same shall be restored as soon as circum- 
“ stances will permit,” for the following Reasons : 

The Commons consider, that when a toll is to 
be levied upon any class of His Majesty’s 
subjects by the authority of Parliament, 
there ought not to be any difficulty in ascer- 
taining what toll can be legally exacted, and 
that for that purpose a Table of Tolls, per- 
fectly clear and legible, ought to be fixed up, 
and always continued in such state at ever 

lace or station where toll may be phones: | 
The Commons consider, that the Amendment 
made by your Lordships would open a door 
for evading this provision, so essential for 
preventing heavier tolls being demanded and 
taken than those authorized to be taken by 
Parliament. 

The Commons decline giving any other reasons, 
trusting that what they have already stated 
will be sufficient to induce your Lordships 
not to insist on your said Amendment. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill: And that 
Sir John Beckett do go to the Lords, and desire the 
said Conference.

Ordered, That the Managers who managed the 
last Conference do manage this Conference :—And 
the Names of Mr. Ridley Colborne, Mr. Oswald, 
Mr. Emerson Tennent, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Barnard, 
Mr. Ward, and Mr. Chalmers, were added to them. 

Then the Names of the Managers were called 
over; and they went to the Conference :— And 
being returned ; 

Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer reported, that 
the Managers had met the Lords at the Conference, 
which was managed on the part of the Lords by the 
Duke of Wellington, who acquainted them, that the 
Lords, having taken into consideration the Reasons 
given by the Commons at the last Conference for 
disagreeing to several Amendments made by their 
Lordships to the Bill, intituled, “ An Act for the 
Regulation of Municipal Corporations and Borough 
Towns in Jreland,” do insist upon some of the 
Amendments to which this House hath disagreed, 
for which they gave their Reasons; and do not 
insist upon other of the said Amendments to which 
this House hath disagreed; and do agree to some 
of the Amendments made by this House to the 
Amendments made by their Lordships, without any 
Amendment, and to other of the said Amendments 
with certain Amendments, to which they desire the 
concurrence of this House; and do disagree to 
other of the said Amendments :—And the same 
were read, and are as follow: 

The Lords participate in the conviction expressed 
by the Commons, that a good correspondence be- 
tween the Two Houses is essential to the well-being 
of the British Monarchy ; and it is always a sub- 
ject of regret to them, when in the performance of 
their duty, they are compelled to take a different 
view of any important measure from that which 
has been adopted by the House of Commons. 


The Lords are earnestly desirous of removing all 
just causes of complaint, and of promoting all well- 
considered measures of improvement in all parts of 
the United Kingdom. 

Impressed with these feelings, the Lords were 
anxious to co-operate with the Commons in carrying 
into effect some of the important objects of the Bill 
for the Regulation of Municipal Corporations in 
Ireland, although there was one principle in that 
Bill in which they were unable to concur. They 
assented to the dissolution of corporations, the 
practical effect of whose constitution is a subject of 
reasonable dissatisfaction. It did not appear to 
them advisable to establish in their place that par- 
ticular form of local government which was proposed 
by the Commons, but they were not without the 
hope that the Two Houses might agree upon pro- 
visions which, accomplishing at once their common 
object of removing a just cause of complaint, might 
at the same time secure the due administration of 
justice in Cities and Towns, preserve the corporate 
property for their respective benefit, and leave their 
local government under Acts voluntarily adopted. 

The Lords coincide in the opinion that it is not 
generally expedient to introduce in the form of 
Amendments matters which may seem to require the 
more mature consideration which is given in its 
successive stages to an original Bill; but on this 
occasion the most convenient mode of procedure 
appeared to be that which enabled the Lords to 
make the fullest communication of their views to 
the House of Commons. 

The Lords remain strongly impressed with the 
belief that the system of local government proposed 
by the Commons, would in the actual state of Jre- 
land be the present cause of party triumph, and the 
continued source of party and religious dissensions. 


The Lords earnestly desire the tranquillity of 
freland; they are unwilling to adopt a measure 
which would in their apprehension supply new occa- 
sions of collision to the adherents of different creeds 
and principles. 


Von, 91 


30° Junie.

They are prepared to do equal justice to all,— 
but it cannot always be assumed that by the grant 
of similar institutions to countries differing in their 
circumstances, equal justice will be done. 

The Lords are unable to acquiesce in the pro- 
position now made by the Commons, that corpora- 
tions, as re-constructed by the Bill, shall be con- 
fined to twelve Cities and Towns, because it is in 
those Cities and Towns of larger population that 
the most extensive evils would, in their opinion, 
result from such re-construction. 

The Lords disagree to the Amendment whereby 
the existing Corporations are to be continued in 
eighteen Towns; they are reluctant to circumscribe 
the extent of the general relief they deem it expe- 
dient to grant. 

Neither are the Lords prepared to concur in the 
proposition that the Act of the ninth year of the late 
King George the Fourth, to make provision for the 
lighting, cleansing and watching of Towns in Ireland, 
and to give the power of taxation for such purposes 
to elective Commissioners, should be imposed upon 
twenty Cities and Towns. 

Anxious that there should exist the power of 
taxation for local purposes wherever its existence 
might be desired by the inhabitants to be taxed, 
the Lords had not suggested any alteration of that 
Act. 

They had afforded new inducements to its volun- 


‘tary adoption, by giving the means of placing the 


surplus property of the Corporations to be abolished 
at the disposal of the Commissioners who might be 
elected in the Towns with which such Corporations 
are respectively connected. 

The Lords readily acquiesce in the desire of the 
Commons, that, wherever that Act may be adopted, 
the whole corporate property shall be at once trans- 
ferred to the management of the Commissioners 
elected under its provisions. 

But the Lords must call to the recollection of the 
Commons, that hitherto the imhabitants of towns 
in Zreland have very generally refrained from avail- 
ing themselves of the power of local government 
and taxation so offered to them. 

To render indispensable the election of Commis- 
sioners, to whom would be confided the power of 
raising taxes for local purposes, would undoubtedly 
be in accordance with the principle adopted in the 
reform of Municipal Corporations in Great Britain ; 
but the Lords cannot but apprehend that the pro- 
posed intervention of the Legislature to over-rule 
a manifest reluctance to be so governed and to be 
so taxed would not, as the Commons appear to an- 
ticipate, have any tendency to satisfy the just expec- 
tations of His Majesty’s subjects in Ireland, or to 
maintain and strengthen the Union. 

The Lords have abstained from insisting upon 
several Amendments to which the Commons appear 
to attach much importance. 

They acquiesce in the opinion that offices con- 
nected with the administration of Justice in Ireland 
should be removed from local influence, and placed 
under the direct authority of the Crown. 

They have willingly consented not to insist upon 
Amendments which conflicted with the immediate 
application of the principle thus established. 

It will be a matter of sincere regret to the Lords 
if their adherence to the more important Amend- 
ments made by them in the Bill, and their inability 
to concur in the new propositions made by the 
Commons, should have the effect of leaving a just 
cause of complaint without a full and present 
remedy. ‘ 

The Lords will, however, still entertam the hope 
that the Two Houses of Parliament, maintaining 
the good understanding which happily subsists be- 
tween them, and zealously co-operating in the dis- 
charge of their common duty to the country, may 
at no distant period devise such measures of Reform 





in the administration of local affairs as may give 
44 real 














592 


real contentment by effecting real improvement, and 
promote prosperity by promoting social and religious 
ace in the cities and towns of Ireland. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendment in Pr. 1. 
1. 1. to leave out from “‘ Whereas ” to “ Be” in 1. 11. 
for the following Reason : 

Because the retention of the Preamble as 
amended by the House of Lords is rendered 
necessary by the other Amendments on which 
they insist. 

The Lords do not agree to the Amendment made 
by the Commons to insert the words “‘ And whereas ” 
before the words “ it is expedient” in the Amend- 
ment made by this House in Pr. 1. 1. 1., the same 
being rendered unnecessary by the last Amend- 
ment. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendments dis- 
agreed to by the Commons, and do not agree to the 
Amendments made by the Commons, as far as 
Clause (B.) added by this House to the Bill, for the 
following Reasons : 

Because the Bill as it passed the House of 
Commons, having practically extinguished 
all existing Municipal Corporations in Jre- 
land, and the Lords having assented to that 

rovision, the question between the two 
Jouses is no longer whether Corporations 
should be abolished, but whether they should 
be re-constructed. 

Because in the present state of Jreland the 
general ease and contentment of the in- 
habitants of cities and towns therein would 
not be effected without modifications of the 
principle of local government, as applied to 
England and Scotland respectively, different 
from and more extensive than those which 
have been proposed by the Commons. 

Because the public good is the only true object 
of legislation, and according to the difference 
of circumstances that object is to be equally 
attained by different measures in different 
parts of the United Kingdom. 

Because confidence in the decisions of Parlia- 
ment follows the well-considered adaptation 
of measures to the position of those for whose 
benefit they are desired ; and a spirit of dis- 
trust and discontent would be produced by 
institutions similar in name, but dissimilar in 
their results. 

In the said Clause (B.) the Lords agree to the 
Amendment made by the Commons. 


The Lords agree to the Amendment made by the 
Commons in Clause (C.) added by this House to 
the Bill. 

The Lords do not insist upon Clauses (D.) and 
(E.) added by this House to the Bill. 

The Lords insist upon Clause (F.) added by this 
House to the Bill, for the following Reason: ~ 

Because it is similar in effect to another pro- 
vision contained in a Clause proposed to be 
inserted by the Commons in a subsequent 
part of the Bill, and the omission of which is 
proposed by the Lords. 

The Lords do not insist upon Clause (G.) added 
by this House to the Bill. 


30° Juniz. 





The Lords insist upon Clause (H.) added by this 
House to the Bill, for the following Reason : ~ | 
Because it is necessary, consistently with other | 
Amendments proposed by the Lords, to make | 
a temporary provision for the discharge of| 
the duties of the officers to whom the Clause | 

refers. 
The Lords do not insist upon their Amendment | 
in Pr. 67. 1. 4. 
The Lords insist upon their Amendment in I. 5. 
to leave out from “ any” to “ any” in 1. 6. but pro-| 


pose to insert the following words instead of those | 
previously inserted, “ Body Corporate named in the | 
“ said Schedule (A.) who shall be in.” | 








A. 1836. 


The Lords do not insist upon their Amendments 
in 1. 9. and in 1. 10. to which the Commons disagree. 

The Lords propose in 1. 11. to leave out the word 
“ or” in the Bill, for the purpose of carrying into 
effect the last-mentioned Amendment. 

The Lords do not insist upon their Amendments in 
1, 13. and in 1. 14. to which the Commons disagree. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendments in ]. 15, 
and in ]. 16. being as follow: 

L. 15. Leave out “ by the Council.” 

L. 16. Leave out “ out of the Borough Fund,” 
and insert “as hereinafter is mentioned.” 

The Lords do not insist upon their Amendments 
in 1. 19. and in 1. 23. to which the Commons dis- 
agree. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendment in 1. 26. 
being as follows : 

L. 26. Leave out from “ the” to “ Treasurer” in 
l. 29. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendment in 1. 30. 
to which the Commons disagree, the said Amend 
ment being as follows: 

L. 30. Leave out “ Borough,” and insert “ Com- 
“ missioners to be appointed in pursuance of this 
“ bet. 

But the Lords propose at the end of the said 
Amendment to add the following words: “ or elected 
“ or to be elected as hereinafter is mentioned,” for 
the purpose of carrying into effect the principal 
Amendments made by the Commons to Clause (N.) 
added by this House to the Bill. 


The Lords insist upon their Amendment in Pr. 68. 
1. 11. being to leave out from “ compensation” to 
“ And” in Pr. 71. 1. 20. for Reasons already stated, 
but propose to insert the following proviso: “ Pro- 
“ vided always, That no person shall be entitled to 
any compensation in respect of the abolition of 
his office, or of his removal therefrom, under the 
provisions of this Act, if he shall have been ap- 
pointed to such office since the Sixteenth day of 
“ February in the present year.” 


The Lords do not insist upon their Amendments 
in Pr. 71. 1. 21. or their first Amendment in 1. 25. 
but do insist upon their second Amendment in 1. 25. 
being to leave out “ the,” and insert “ any.” 


The Lords insist upon their Amendment in I. 26. 
to leave out from “ said”’ to “to” in 1. 28. and insert 
*€ Schedule (A.)” but do not insist upon their 
Amendment in |. 28. to leave out “ retired.” 


The Lords do not insist upon their Amendments 
in 1,29. and in]. 30. The Lords insist upon their 
subsequent Amendments to the said Clause, for 
Reasons already stated. 


The Lords insist upon their Amendment from Pr. 
72. 1. 25. to Pr. 110. 1. 15. being the omission of 
thirty-two Clauses, for the following Reasons : 

Because the first and second of such Clauses 
contain regulations respecting the Corpora- 
tions proposed to be abolished. 

Because the third of such Clauses contains 
regulations respecting property held upon 
charitable trusts, and which, for the Reasons 
hereinafter mentioned, are insufficient. 

Because the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh of 
such Clauses contain regulations for trans- 
ferring trusts and powers under Acts of Par- 
liament to Members of the Corporations pro- 
posed to be abolished. 

Because the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, 
twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, six- 
teenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth of such 
Clauses contain regulations of police, which 
the Lords consider to be sufficiently provided 
for by the Act passed in the present Session 
of Parliament for establishing a Constabulary 
Force in Ireland. 

Because the remaining Clauses contain regu- 
lations respecting the Corporations proposed 
to be abolished.

6-7 Witt. IV. 


The Lords insist upon their Amendments to which 
the Commons disagree, and disagree to the Amend- 
ments made by the Commons, from Pr. 110. 1. 15. 
to Clause (N.) added by this House to the Bill, for 
the following Reasons : 

The Lords have taken into their consideration 
the Reasons annexed by the Commons to 
the proposed Amendment to Clause (1.), 
which Reasons apply to other subsequent 
Clauses, to which the Commons equally dis- 
agree. 

The Lords observe that the Bill, as passed by 
the Commons, continued certain trusts in 
certain Corporations, being Trustees casually 
in office on a given day, notwithstanding 
those persons might have ceased to hold an 
office by virtue of which they were suc 
Trustees; and that the Clauses objected to 
were intended to prevent the detriment which 
might have arisen from the provision made 
by the Commons that all such trusts shall 
cease on a day named, and the Lord Chan- 
cellor then make such orders as he might see 
fit for the appointment of Trustees and the 
administration of the trust estate, if Parlia- 
ment should not have sooner otherwise 
directed. 

The Lords were of opinion that it was inex- 
pedient to throw upon the Lord Chancellor 
a duty he could not satisfactorily discharge ; 
the more especially as no provision was made 
by the Commons for the security of the trust 
property in the event of the duty imposed 
upon the Lord Chancellor not being in every 
case performed. 

The Lords therefore thought it desirable to con- 
tinue the several trusts in the several persons 
in whom they were continued by the Bill as 
it passed the House of Commons, until Par- 
liament should otherwise provide. 

The Clauses objected to contain other Enact- 
ments obviously necessary to meet cases 
which, arising out of the proposed abolition 
of Corporations, had not been provided for 
by the House of Commons; but all such 
enactments, proceeding upon the same prin- 
ciple, are of a temporary character, subject 
to the future direction of Parliament. 

For these Reasons the Lords insist upon these 
several Clauses. 

In the said Clause (N.) the Lords agree to the 
Amendment made by the Commons in I. 2. to leave 
out from “That” to “all” in 1. 4. but propose to 
amend the words inserted by the Commons as fol- 
lows, “ on the said First day of January One thou- 
“ sand eight hundred and thirty-seven, and thence- 
“ forth until the first election of Commissioners 
“‘ under the said recited Act, in any of the Towns 
mentioned in the said Schedule (A.) in which 
Commissioners have not been elected and are not 
now acting under the said Act.” 

The Lords do not agree to the Amendment made 
by the Commons to the said Clause in 1. 14. to leave 
out “(A.),” and insert “(C.),” nor to the Amend- 
ment made by them in 1. 27. to leave out “appointed 
“ by virtue of this Act,” and to insert “ so elected.” 

The Lords agree to the Amendment made by the 
Commons at the end of the said Clause, with the 
following Amendment : 

Before the word “and” at the commencement of 
the said Amendment added by the Commons, the 
Lords propose to insert the following words: “ and 
“ such Commissioners shall and they are hereby 
“ empowered to exercise all powers and privileges 
authorized by this Act, and shall be subject to 
the same actions and suits relating thereto in the 
same manner as if the fee simple or other absolute 
property therein were vested in them ; and on the 
first election of Commissioners under the said 
recited Act in any of the said Towns respectively,

the same manors and other hereditaments and 
property of the Body Corporate which has been 
constituted in such Town, or of any member 
or members thereof, m his or their corporate 
capacity (except as aforesaid), shall, subject as 
aforesaid, and also subject to all such acts, mat- 
ters and things as shall have been lawfully or 
equitably done or suffered in the meantime by the 
Commissioners to be appointed by virtue of this 
Act, be and the same are hereby vested in the 
“ Commissioners so to be elected.” 


Because such Amendments are rendered neces- 
sary by other Amendments proposed by the 
Lords. 


The Lords do not agree to any of the Amend- 
ments made by the Commons to Clause (O.) added 
by this House to the Bill, but propose the following 
Amendments to carry into effect the Amendments 
made by the Commons to Clause (N.), to which the 
Lords have agreed : 

Fol. 1. 1. 12. Leave out “to be appointed,” and 
insert “in whom the property of such Corporation 
“ respectively shall be vested.” 

Fol. 1. 1. 20. Leave out “ the said,” and insert 
such.”

“ respectively.” 


Fol. 2. 1.15. Leave out from “as” to “ Cor- 
porate ” in 1. 16. and insert “ such body.” 

The Lords do not agree to any of the Amend- 
ments made by the Commons to Clause (P.) added 
by this House to the Bill, but propose the following 
Amendments for similar Reasons to those assigned 
to Clause (O.): 


“ 


Fol. 2. 1. 1. After “ Commissioners”’ insert “ re- 
- eg 
ol. 2. 1.2. Leave out “ the said,” and insert 


“ such.” 


Fol. 2. 1. 3. After “ Commissioners ” insert “ re- 
spectively in whom the same shall for the time 
“ being be vested.” 

The Lords do not agree to the Amendment made 
by the Commons to Clause (Q.)added by this House 
to the Bill, for the following Reasons: 

Because it is necessary to provide for the secu- 
rity and management of corporate property, 
when, by the enactments of the Bill as in- 
sisted upon, Corporations shall be abolished. 

Because it is advisable to place the manage- 
ment of such property in the hands of Com- 
missioners removed from local influence, and 
responsible for the due performance of their 
duties. 

Because the management of an inconsiderable 
property, and the right of nomination to 
some offices of small value, required for the 
collection of such property, or otherwise ne- 
cessary, cannot, in the apprehension of the 
Lords, create an influence inconsistent with 
the freedom and independence of the several 
cities and towns in Jreland. 


In Clause (R.) added by this House to the Bill : 


The Lords propose the following Amendment for 
similar Reasons to those assigned to Clause (O.) 

L. 2. After “ Commissioners ’”’ insert “ elected 
“ or.” 

The Lords agree to the Amendment made by the 
Commons to the said Clause in |. 3. to leave out 
“ appointed,” and insert “ elected ;” but propose 
to add after “ elected”’ the words following: “ in 
“ any town in pursuance of the said recited Act,

“ and also the Commissioners to be appointed,” for

“ chase and hold lands, tenements and heredita- 
ments for the purposes of this Act, and may sue

Because the Amendment proposed by the Lords 
appears to them to be necessary with a view 
to the title to the lands which the Commis- 
sioners are by that Clause empowered to 
urchase. 
The ees insist upon Clause (S.) added by this

by the Commons to Clause (D 1.) added by this 
House to the Bill, but propose, for the Reasons

L. 20. After “ Fund” insert “ vested in them

The Lords do not agree to the Amendments 
made by the Commons in Clause (F 1.) added by 
this House to the Bill, but propose to make the fol- 
lowing Amendments : 

Fol. 1. 1. 4. After “ Commissioners ” 
“ elected and to be appointed as aforesaid.” 

L. 7. After “ Fund” insert “ vested in them re- 
“ spectively.” 

Fol. 2. 1. 9. After “ Majesty” insert “and shall 
be applied by them.” 

Fol. 3. 1. 3. After “ Commissioners ” insert 
elected or to be appointed as aforesaid (as the 
case may be.)” 


The Lords do not agree to the Amendments made 
by the Commons to the said Clause, for the fol- 
lowing Reasons: 

The Lords had provided that on the abolition 
of Corporations all corporate property should 
be vested in Commissioners named by the 
Lord Lieutenant, for the purpose of securing 
all such property for the use of the several 
Cities and Towns with which such Corpora- 
tions are respectively connected. 

They had provided that the surplus property, 
after the payment of debts and certain speci- 
fied charges, should be paid to the Commis- 
sioners appointed in any Town under the Act 
of the ninth year of the late King George the 
Fourth, or to any local Board or Boards, 
under any local Act, in such manner and in 
such proportions as, with the consent of the 
Lord Lieutenant, the Commissioners named 
by him might think proper; and that the 
residue, if any, should be applied by such 
Commissioners, under the direction of the 
Lord Lieutenant, for the benefit of the 
Town. 

The Lords acquiesce in the proposition of the 
Commons, that where there are Commis- 
sioners under the ninth of George the Fourth, 
the whole property of the abolished Cor- 
poration shall be at once transferred to them. 
But as the Act of the ninth of George the 
Fourth cannot be adopted in any Town 
whereof the lighting, watching, paving or 

. cleansing is provided for under any local Act, 
and as there may exist in such Town more 
than one Board of Trustees or Commissioners 
under local Acts, having different objects, 
and it is expedient that there should exist a 
discretionary power of appropriating from 
time to time the Corporate property to one 
or more of such objects, or to any other ob- 
ject of greater utility to the Town, it seemed 
to the Lords that such necessary power 
should be created, and they were of opinion 
that it could not be more safely placed than 
in the hands of Commissioners acting under 
the direction of the Lord Lieutenant. For 
this Reason they adhere to so much of their 
Amendments as effects this purpose. 


The Lords do not agree to the Amendments made 
by the Commons to Clause (G 1.) added by this 
House to the Bill, but propose, for the Reasons 
assigned with respect to Clause (O.), the following 
Amendment: 

L. 2. After “ Commissioners” insert “ elected

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, 
That under all the circumstances of the case, as 
presented to the Committee, especially in reference 
to the works now in progress at Dover Harbour, 
the completion of which is necessary, it is expedient 
that the Bill to amend an Act for more effectually 
maintaining and improving Dover Harbour, in the 
County of Kent, should be immediately passed ; 
and in regard to the constitution of the Board of 
Management of Dover Harbour, as it exists at 
present, and as it is susceptible of improvement, it 
is the opinion of this Committee that a Bill should 
be introduced early in the next Session. 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, 
That with a view to the future administration of the 
affairs of the Harbour, and to ensure the most mature 
consideration of any Plans that may be hereafter 
proposed for its improvement, all such Plans, toge- 
ther with Estimates for their execution, shall be 
submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty for their 
concurrence and approval; and such Plans and 
Estimates, as well as the annual accounts of the 
receipt and expenditure of the Harbour Commis- 
sioners, shall be annually laid before Parliament. 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, 
That in the Bill now in progress before the Com- 
mittee, a Clause shall be introduced by which the 
powers of the present Warden and Assistants shall 
cease and determine from and after the end of the 
next Session of Parliament; and in the event of 
Parliament not providing during the next Session 
for the future management of the Harbour, the 
powers and duties of the Warden and Assistants 
shall be vested in the Lords Commissioners of the 
Admiralty for the time being, until Parliament shall 
otherwise determine. 

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, 
That without expressing any opinion on the policy 
of Passing Tolls, the Committee, after the Reso- 
lutions they have come to, do not think it necessary 
now to recommend any alteration respecting the 
dues of Dover Harbour. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed.

A Petition of George Drummond and Francis 
Henry Davis, was presented, and read; setting 
forth, That the Petitioners are claimants for com- 
pensation from the Fund furnished by France for 
affording indemnity to all British subjects unlaw- 
fully deprived of their property, by acts of the 
French Government, at the commencement of the 
French Revolution ; that the claim of the Peti- 
tioners was rejected by those Commissioners by an 
award, founded principally on the assumption that 
their deceased relative was divested of his character 
as a British subject, by reason of the attainder of 
his ancestor the Earl of Melfort; that the Lords of 
His Majesty’s Treasury having permitted an appeal 
to be made from this award to the judicial Com- 
mittee of the Privy Council, that Court decided (in 
opposition to the opimion of the Commissioners of 
French Claims) that the injured relative of the Peti- 
tioners was undoubtedly a British subject ; but the 
question arose on the hearing of this appeal (for 
the first time in the course of proceedings which 
had been pending many years), whether, as well as 














A. 1836. 


retaining the character of a British subject, he did 
not also acquire the character of a French subject? 
and the Court concluded, expressly on the authority 
of a Digest of the French laws, and a collection of 
reported cases, that he was so; upon this conclu- 
sion, their Lordships, after declaring that it was the 
only point on which the case depended, refused to 
reverse the award of the Commissioners against the 
Petitioners, because they judged that, as a French 
subject, the sequestration of his property by the Go- 
vernment of France for “ emigration,” could not be 
deemed an “ unlawful confiscation” within the terms 
of the convention ; and praying the House to extend 
to the Petitioners the full advantage of their just 
rights and privileges, as subjects of this realm, from 
which they are now debarred by an interpretation 
of a French law, which is declared by the jurists of 
France to be erroneous. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the

A Petition of James George Fowler, George Municipal 
Kellner, and others, of the borough of New Windsor, —_—— 


praying for the introduction of Clauses, in the 
Municipal Corporations Bill, declaring the rights 
and liabilities of parishes, partly situate within and 
partly without any city, town or borough, subject to 
the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, 
was presented, and read; and ordered to lie upon 
the Table. 


Ordered, That the Select Committee appointed Statute Labour 
to investigate the several Acts, Public and Private, Seo!4.) 


regulating the Statute Labour in Scotland, and the 
manner in which the conversion is exacted or levied, 
and applied, in the several counties respectively, 
and to consider how the existing Laws may be 
amended, and to report thereupon to the House, 
have Power to report their opinion thereupon, toge- 
ther with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before 
them. 

Sir Andrew Leith Hay veported from the said 
Select Committee; and to whom several Petitions on 
the subject were referred ; That they had considered 
the matters to them referred, and had come to 
several Resolutions, which they had directed him to 
report; together with the Minutes of the Evidence 
taken before them, with an Appendix ; and the Re- 
solutions of the Committee are as follow : 

1. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That however much it might be considered of 
advantage to establish a general system throughout 
Scotland for making, altering or repairing the Roads, 
at present under the operation of either General or 
Local Statute Labour Acts, it would be inexpedient 
to enforce a measure subjecting all parts of that 
country to a system which, in practice, might be 
beneficial to some districts, but detrimental when 
applied to other; atthe same time, your Committee 
submit that, in coming to the above conclusion, and 
objecting to the general application of an Act super- 
seding the Local Statutes now enforced, they are of 
opinion that some alterations may advantageously 
be made, and regulations generally enforced, by 
which the system will be materially corrected. 

2. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That the qualification of Trustees ought to be 
established upon an uniform principle throughout 
Scotland ; and that persons in possession of property 
to the amount of Fifty pounds of real or valued rent, 
or being the eldest son, or in the absence of the Pro- 
prietor, his factor or mandatory, should be quali- 
fied to vote at Meetings held for the purpose of 
appropriating the Funds levied under the Statutes 
in force in their respective counties. 

3. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, for the improvement of all Roads not under 
Turnpike Acts, for suggesting and regulating altera- 
tions which will be generally beneficial, for the pur- 
pose of extending and improving the advantages to 
be derived from the system now in operation, it is 
expedient that the several Counties be divided into 
Districts, that control over the Statute Labour 
Commutation Funds shall in future be exercised, 
not parochially, but by District Trustees, subject to 
the revisal of General Meetings, and under the in- 
spection and direction of experienced and respon- 
sible District Overseers. 

4. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That in future the assessment ought to be 
exclusively laid upon Land, or upon Houses valued 
at or above a yearly rent of Two pounds; and that 
Labourers and others now personally assessed, not 
possessing Land or Houses to the amount of Two 
pounds or upwards, should be exempted from all 
future charge. 

5. Resolved, That it appearing that frequent, and 
in the opinion of this Committee, well-founded com- 
plaints have been made regarding the present appli- 
cation of Funds levied in Royal Burghs and other 
Towns, it is submitted that, in future the Magis-

tracies ought to be vested with powers to secure the 
application of money collected within Burghs, to 
the improvement of Roads or communications within 
the Boundaries, or in their immediate vicitity. 

6. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That for the satisfaction of those liable to 
assessments, interested in the state of the Roads, and 
in a proper application of sums levied under the 
respective Acts, it is expedient that in future a more 
careful audit of the Statute Labour Accounts shall 
be enforced, and they recommend ‘that the said 
Accounts be regularly and periodically published. 

7. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That it is worthy of consideration whether 
some of the more important lines of communication 
now supported by Statute Labour Funds might not 
be beneficially withdrawn from the operation of 
Commutation Statutes, and be placed under Turn- 
pike Trustees, and Tolls levied thereon. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed. 


A Petition of Inhabitants of Zondon and West- 
minster ;—and, of Dr. Lee and others ; complaining

habitants of Longford ;— Landholders and Inhabi- 
tants of Ballyhuskard and Killisk ;—and, Inhabitants

to pass the faery: Corporations (Zreland) Bill 
as amended by the House of Lords,—were presented, 
and read ; and ordered to lie upon the Table. 


A Petition of several Trustees of bg oa Roads, 
was presented, and read ; setting forth, That by the 
Highway Act of the last Session of Parliament, 
which altogether abolishes Statute Duty, there 
are extensive districts which are deprived of a con- 
siderable portion of the funds which have been 
hitherto available for the repair of Turnpike Roads ; 
in some Trusts, with which the Petitioners are 
well acquainted, the interest of the mortgage debt 
amounts to a sum nearly equal to the Tolls collected 
within the Trust, and hitherto the Turnpike Roads in 
such districts have almost altogether Ween repaired 
by the composition in lieu of Statute Duty levied 
under the Act of 44 Geo. 3, c. 52; that the Peti- 
tioners are far from intending to deprecate the con- 
solidation of Turnpike Trusts, according to the pro- 
visions of a Bill which they are informed has been 
under the consideration of the House, but they 
earnestly petition, that until an enlarged measure 
for the government of Turnpike Reads shall receive 
the sanction of the Legislature, the means of repair- 
ing such Roads may be preserved to the respective 
Trustees by a short Act of Parliament, declaring 
that the Trustees shall be entitled to such a propor- 
tion as may appear equitable, of the rate to be levied 
by the surveyor of each parish under the new High- 
way Act, or by any other enactment which may 
appear to be better calculated to provide for the 
difficulty to which the Petitioners have considered 
it to be their duty to advert. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table. 


A Petition of Solicitors of the diocese of Here- 
ford, praying the House not to forward any Bill for 
the transfer of the whole testamentary business to 
London, until an inquiry shall have been instituted 
into the testamentary jurisdiction of the country, for 
the purpose of ascertaining whether the Diocesan 
Courts in relation to such jurisdiction cannot be 
made effective for the wants of the country, was 
ea and read; and ordered to lie upon the 

able.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer reported from Municipal 


the Committee appointed to draw up Reasons to be 
offered to the Lords at a Conference for disagreeing 
to certain of the Amendments made by the Lords to 
the Bill, intituled, An Act to explain and amend an 
Act to provide for the Regulation of Municipal Cor- 
porations in England and Wales; That they had 
drawn up Reasons accordingly, which they had di- 
rected him to report; and the same were read, as 
follow : 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made by 
your Lordships as far as Pr. 4. 1. 18. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amendment 
made by your Lordships in Pr. 4. 1. 18. by inserting 
“ or Auditors ” after “ Assessors.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendment made by 
your Lordships Pr. 4. 1. 20. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by your Lordships Pr. 4. 1. 21., for the following 
Reason : 

Because, if there are any vacancies among the 
Councillors of a warded Town, they are to be 
supplied by election of the Burgesses of the 
several Wards, and not of all the Burgesses 
of the Borough, which is rendered doubtful by 
your Lordships’ Amendment. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made by 
your Lordships as far as the first Amendment, Pr. 5 
i, 17. 

The Commons disagree to the insertion of the 
words proposed by your Lordships after “ purpose ” 
Pr. 5. 1. 17. for the following Reason : 

Because the insertion of the words inserted by 

our Lordships after “ purpose” will render 
it doubtful whether, under this Act, any 
Council in which no Mayor hath been elected 
ean fill up any vacancies in the office of 
Aldermen. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made by 
your Lordships as far as Pr. 5. 1. 25. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by your Lordships Pr. 5. 1. 25. for the following 
Reasons: 

Because the Councils to which this provision 
will apply have not yet elected the Aldermen 
and Mayor, by reason of their being equally 
divided into two parties of opposite opinions, 
and because it does not seem to the Com- 
mons expedient in such a case to give the 
nomination of all the Aldermen and of the 
Mayor to either party exclusively, to be de- 
cided by lot, which will be the probable 
effect of your Lordships’ Amendment.” 

Because the Commons did not propose, for the 
like Reason, to give a casting vote to the 
Councillor chosen by the greatest number of 
votes, whom they have selected to preside at 
the meeting; and although the Commons 
have agreed to the Amendment made by your 
Lordships in substituting for that purpose a 
member of the Council chosen by lot, the 
Commons think it inexpedient to entrust 
greater powers to an individual chosen by 
lot than they had thought fit to entrust to 
one who had already received manifest proof 
of confidence placed in him by his fellow 
burgesses. 

Because it is not necessary that any member 
of the Council should have a casting vote, 
according to the provisions which the Com- 
mons had made for giving the election of 
Aldermen to the Burgesses, in case the 
Council should not agree within a reasonable 
time. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment made 
by your Lordships in Pr. 6. 1. 17.; but the Com- 
mons propose to amend the Clause commencing 
Pr. 6. 1.17. and ending Pr. 7. 1. 6. by omitting 
in Pr. 7. 1. 3. “ Councillor or Councillors elected 
by the greatest number of votes,” and inserting 

4n4 “ Alderman 


orporations 


ll. 





~ oa 


a

“ Alderman or Councillor chosen by lot,” for the 
following Reasons : 

Because the Commons have already stated 
Reasons for their unwillingness to entrust the 
large powers consequent upon a casting vote 
to any one person in Boroughs circumstanced 
as those are to which these provisions apply, 
and because it is therefore necessary to make 
provision for the possible continuance of the 
disagreement of the Council. 

Because agreement in the Council will probably 
be ensured by their knowledge of a provision 
taking the election out of their hands in 
case of the continuance of their disagree- 
ment, and thus an election by the Council 
will probably be secured adequately repre- 
senting the opinions of both the parties which 
are so equally divided. 

Because the alteration of the words in the 
Clause which the Commons propose to re- 
store is necessary, to make it agree with a 
previous Amendment of your Lordships to 
which the Commons have agreed. 

The Commons agree to Clause (A.) 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made 
by your Lordships as far as Pr. 16. 1. 25. 

The Commons agree to Clauses (B.), (C.), (D.), 
(E.), (F.), (G.), (H.), (1.) and (K.) 

The Commons disagree to Clause (L.), for the 
following Reasons : 

Because the provision made by the Act passed 
in the last Session to provide for the Regula- 
tion of Municipal Corporations in England 
and Wales was a temporary expedient, has 
been found inconvenient in practice, and the 
operation of it ought not to be further pro- 
longed. 

Because provision was made by the said Act 
for vesting the administration of the Trust 
Estates in the Lord High Chancellor or Lords 
Commissioners of the Great Seal, if Parlia- 
ment should not on or before the 1st day of 
August 1836 make some provision with re- 
spect to such Trustees other than that con- 
tained in that Act, and the Amendment of 
the Lords repeals that Enactment, without 
substituting a preferable arrangement. 

The Commons agree to the Clauses (M.), (N.), 
(O.), (P.), (Q.), (R.), (S.) and (T.) 

he Commons propose to amend Clause (U.), by 
leaving out from “ Recorder,” Fo. 1. 1. 13. to “ as” 
1. 20., and inserting “and, in the absence of the 
“ Recorder, such person, being a Barrister of not 
“ Jess than Five years’ standing, as shall be appointed 
by the Recorder under his hand and seal to hold 
the said Court shall be the Judge of such Court, 
and shall hold the said Court at such times ;” and 
Fo. 2. 1. 1. by leaving out from “ direct ” to “ Pro- 
“ vided” |. 6. and inserting “ and every Recorder 
or person so appointed to hold such Court, shall 
be entitled to live such Salary paid to him out 
of the Borough Fund as the Council shall fix by 
some bye-law to be made in that behalf.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made 
by your Lordships as far as Pr. 23. 1. 12. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause (W.), by 
leaving out from “ within,” Fo. 1.1.17. to “ any,” 
lt. 18., and in Fo. 2.1. 3. after “ Parliament,” in- 
serting “ and the Non-Corporate Members and Li- 
‘ berties thereof.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made 
by your Lordships in Clause (A.), added, by way of 
rider, to the Bill. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause (Z.), by 
adding, after “ notwithstanding,” Fo. 1. 1. ult. “ Pro- 
“« vided always, That no Vice-Chancellor of the said 
University, by reason of his being named in any 
Commission of the Peace for the said Town and 
Borough, shall thereby have, as touching the grant 
of Licenses to Alehouses, any greater authority as

that nothing in this Act shall be construed to alter 
or in any way to affect the rights and privileges 
which the Vice-Chancellor by virtue of his Office 
now lawfully has or enjoys, or might have lawfully 
had and enjoyed if the Vice-Chancellor had not 
been appointed under the provisions of this Act 

a Justice of the Peace for the said Town aud 

Borough.” 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill: And that 
Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer do go to the Lords, 
and desire the said Conference.

Mr. William O’Brien reported from the said 
Select Committee ; and to whom the Return of the

last, was referred; That they had considered the 
matters to them referred, and directed him to make 
a Report thereof to the House, together with the 
Minutes of the Evidence taken before them; and 
the Resolutions of the Committee are as follow : 

1. Resolved, That this Committee is not in a 
situation to pronounce any opinion upon the legal 
question, how far the Property of the Royal Dublin 
Society, partly acquired by former Parliamentary 
Grants and partly out of the Funds arising from 
Private Subscriptions, be of the nature of Public 
Property; but they are of opinion, that it is ex- 
pedient that, in reference to future Parliamentary 
Grants, it. should be fully understood that the 
members composing that Society are to be con- 
sidered as Trustees administering a Public Fund, 
and not as entitled to an absolute right of proprie- 
torship in the property acquired by means of such 
Parliamentary Grants; and in reference to the 
existing Property, thata clear and distinct guarantee 
should be given by the Society, that the Public 
should be entitled to the full and entire use of that 
Property as at present enjoyed. { 

2. Resolved, That it is expedient that the admis- 
sion of all respectable individuals to a participation 
in the advantages arising from the Parliamentary 
Grant to the Royal Dublin Society is most desir- 
able ; and in order to guard against the capricious 
exercise of the power of rejection, it is advisable 
that its Bye-laws should be re-considered; and 
“ that hereafter no individual be excluded, notwith- 
standing one-third of the members present may have 
voted for his rejection, unless at least Forty mem- 
bers shall have voted against his admission ;” and, 
as regards the admission Fee, that it be left 
optional whether the Candidate shall pay a Life 
Composition of Twenty Guineas, or a Fee of Five 
Guineas, and Two Guineas Annual Subscription; and 
that persons admitted on these terms shall cease to 
be members, if at any time their Annual Subscrip- 
tions shall be One year in arrear, unless the party 
so in arrear shall make a declaration in writing to 
the Council, that he has been absent from the 
Kingdom during the period for which the arrear has 
been incurred. 

That 


Taek ii obed Seiten i=

That Associate Subscribers should be admitted to 
the Society for the term of One year, upon the 
recommendation of Two members of the Council, 
on payment of Two Guineas, which payment must 
be made at the time of admission. 

3. Resolved, That the management of the ordinary 
business of the Society should be confided to a Coun- 
cil; but that it may be competent for Thirty mem- 
bers to call a General Meeting of the Society, when 
any subject of importance requires consideration, 
upon giving a Notice by Advertisement at least 
Fourteen days previous to the day of meeting, of 
the time at which it will be held, and of the subject 
to be entertained. 

That no such Meeting shall be called between 
the 1st of August and the 1st of November, and that 
there shall be no adjournment of such Meeting 
without a new Notice. 

That the Council should be formed by the union 
of the following Committees, each of which should 
consist of Three members elected by the Society ; 
one member of each Committee to go out annually; 
and that the Council should be empowered to 
associate with each Committee, not more than Three 
members of the Council.

That, at an early period in each year, an Estimate 
should be presented for sanction to a General Meet- 
ing of the Society of the expenditure which will be 
required in each department of the Society’s opera- 
tions; and that no deviation from that Estimate 
should take place to an extent greater than £.50 
in the province of any one Committee, without the 
sanction of the Society at large, except upon any 
extraordinary ‘occasion, when the consent of the 
Treasury shall be required. 

That it should be the duty of each Committee to 
report to the Council upon all matters relating to 
the department over which it presides; and that all 
recommendations emanating from the Committees 
should be subject to the final sanction of the whole 
Council. 

4. Resolved, That the Dublin Society should be 
considered as the great central association for the 
diffusion throughout Jreland of a knowledge of Prac- 
tical Science, and of all improvements in Agriculture, 
Horticulture and the Arts ; and that it should place 
itself in communication with all local Societies 
founded with a view to similar objects, affording to 
them assistance, encouragement and information, 
and receiving from them in return periodical Reports 
of their Proceedings. 

5. Resolved, That the Dublin Society should be 
enabled, upon ra to send down qualified 
persons to give Lectures in the provincial towns, 
whenever the travelling expenses of the Lecturer, 
and a reasonable proportion of his remuneration,

a Reading-room should be appointed, to which per- 
sons not belonging to the Society should have access 
by special permission of the Council. 

9. Resolved, That the Public should be gratui- 
tously admitted to at least one of the Courses of 
Lectures given by each Professor during the year ; 
and that such gratuitous Course should be given in 
the evening, in order to encourage the attendance of 
persons engaged during the day in industrious oc- 
cupations. 

10, Resolved, That each Committee should, pe- 
riodically, publish Reports of its Proceedings ; and 
that the Council should, by selection from the Pa- 
pers read at the evening Scientific Meetings, or by 
the compilation of such other interesting and useful 
information as they may think it desirable to com- 
municate to the Public, cause to be printed, from 
time to time, Publications which should be accessible 
to the Publi¢ by purchase. 

11. Resolved, That Newspapers and Political Pe- 
riodicals should no longer be taken into the Society’s 
Rooms, whether procured by special Private Sub- 
scription, or paid for out of the general Funds of 
the Society. 

12, Resolved, That measures should be taken for 
securing increased activity and efficiency in the 
management of all the Schools; and that they 
should be made instrumental rather in giving instruc- 
tion in the useful and the mechanical Departments 
of the Arts, than in those which are purely orna- 
mental. . 

13. Resolved, That, in order to form a National 
Museum adequate to the public wants, it is neces- 


sary to provide larger accommodation for the Exhi- _ 


bition of objects than the present rooms of the

Resolutions to be reported. 


Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair; and Mr. Bernal

Head-money, or any other name, to Electors, before, 
at or after an Election of Members to serve in Par- 
liament, in consideration of or for the vote of such 
Electors, whether made by a Candidate or by any 
one acting for him, or on his behalf, is a gross viola- 
tion of the freedom of Election, of the Orders of this 
House, and of the rights and privileges of the Com- 
mons of the United Kingdom :—And a Debate arising 
thereupon ; 

Ordered, That the Debate be adjourned till Wed- 


nesday next. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- 
posed, That any payment, or promise or agreement 
for the payment of any sum of Money to an Elector 
or any other person for his benefit, in consideration 
of a vote given at the Election of a Member to serve

House :— And a Debate arising thereupon ; 

Ordered, That the Debate be adjourned till Wed-

of the British Musuem, have Power to report their 
opinion thereupon, together with the Minutes of the 
Evidence taken before them. 

Mr. Estcourt reported from the said Select Com- 
mittee ; and to whom the Report which, upon the 
6th day of August, in the last Session of Parliament, 
was made from the Select Committee upon the same 
subject ; and an Account, and several Petitions upon 
the subject of the British Musuem, were referred ; 
That they had considered the matters to them re- 
ferred ; and had come to several Resolutions, which 
they had directed him to report, together with the 
Minutes of the Evidence pe before them, with 
an Appendix; and the Resolutions of the Committee 
are as follow : 

1. Resolved, That the great accessions which have 
been made of late to the Collections of the British 
Museum, and the increasing interest taken in them 
by the Public, render it expedient to revise the Esta- 
blishment of the Institution, with a view to place it 
upon a scale more commensurate with, and better 
adapted to, the present state and future prospects 
of the Museum. 

2. Resolved, That this Committee do not recom- 
mend any interference with the Family Trustees, 
who hold their offices under Acts of Parliament, 
being of the nature of national compacts. 

3. Resolved, That though the number of official 
Trustees may appear unnecessarily large, and though 
practically most of them rarely, if ever, attend, yet 
no inconvenience has been alleged to have arisen 
from the number; and the Committee are aware 
that there may be some advantage in retaining in 
the hands of Govsmacannt a certain influence over 
the affairs of the Musuem, which may be exercised 
on special occasions ; yet if any Act of the Legis- 
lature should ultimately be found necessary, a re- 
duction in the number of this class of Trustees might 
not be unadvisable. 

4, Resolved, That, with regard to the existing 
elected Trustees, the Committee think it very de- 
sirable that the Trustees should take steps to ascer- 
tain, whether some of those whose attendance has 
been the most infrequent, might not be willing to 
resign their Trusteeships ;—That in future it be un- 
derstood, that any Trustee hereafter to be elected, 
not giving personal attendance at the Museum for 
a period to be fixed, is expected to resign his Trustee- 
ship, being, however, re-eligible upon any future 
vacancy. 

5. Resolved, That in filling up vacancies it would 
be desirable that the electing Trustees should not in 
future lose sight of the fact, that an opportunity is 
thus afforded them of occasionally conferring a mark 
of distinction upon men of eminence in literature, 
science and art. 

6. Resolved, That the extension of the Collections 
which has taken place, and the still greater exten- 
sion which may be looked for, render a further divi- 
sion of departments necessary; and that at the head 
of each department there be placed a Keeper, who 
shall be responsible for the arrangement, proper

condition and safe custody of the Collection com- 
mitted to his care. 

7. Resolved, That it is desirable that the heads 
of each department shall meet once in Three months 
for the purpose of consulting with reference to any 
matters of detail relating to the internal arrange- 
ments of the Museum, which they may desire jointly 
to submit to the Trustees in writing. 

8. Resolved, That whenever there may be a va- 
cancy in the office of Principal Librarian, or in that 
of Secretary, it is desirable that the distribution of 
the duties now discharged by those officers respec- 
tively, including the Expenditorship, be re-con- 
sidered, and that the office of Secretary be not com- 
bined with the Keepership of any department. 

9. Resolved, That it is desirable that the hours 
during which the Museum shall be open on public 
days, be hereafter from ten o’clock until seven 
throughout the months of May, June, July and 
August; and that the Reading Room be opened 
throughout the year at nine o’clock in the morning. 

10. Resolved, That it is desirable that the Mu- 
seum be hereafter opened during the Easter, Whitsun 
and Christmas weeks, except Sundays and Christ- 
mas-day. 

11. Resolved, That it is expedient that the Trus- 
tees should revise the Salaries of the Establishment, 
with the view of ascertaining what increase may be 
required for the purpose of carrying into effect the 
foregoing Resolutions, as well as of obtaining the 
whole time and services of the ablest men, inde- 
pendently of any remuneration from other sources ; 
and that when such scale of Salary shall have been 
fixed, it shall not be competent to any Officer of the 
Museum paid thereunder, to hold any other situa- 
tion conferring emolument or entailing duties. 

12. Resolved, That it is desirable that the heads 
of departments do consult together as to the best 
method of preparing on a combined system, an im- 
proved edition of the Synopsis of the Museum; that 
each officer be responsible for that part which is under 
his immediate control, and attach his signature to such 
part, and that the work be prepared in sucha manner 
as to enable each part to be sold separately, which 
should be done at the lowest-price which will cover 
the expenses of the publication. 

13. Resolved, That it is expedient that every ex- 
ertion should be made to complete within the shortest 
time, consistent with the due execution of the work, 
full and accurate Catalogues of all the Collections 
in the Museum, with a view to print and publish such 





Juli. A, 1836. 


17. Resolved, That the Committee, in the altera- 
tions which they have suggested, do not mean.to 
convey any charge against the Trustees, or against 
the officers of the Museum, whose talents, good con- 
duct and general and scientific acquirements, are 
universally admitted ; and they are aware, that where 
imperfections exist in the Collections, those imper- 
fections are mainly attributable to the very imade- 
quate space, hitherto available for their exhibition, 
and to the limited pecuniary means at the disposal 
of the Trustees, and they are of opinion that the 
present state of the British Museum, compared 
with the increasing interest taken in it by all classes 
of the people, justifies them in the recommendations 
contained in the above. Resolutions. 

18. Resolved, That the Committee, having taken 
into consideration the Petition presented to the House 
by Mr. Charles Tilt, and referred to the Committee, 
which Petition prayed for public assistance in the 
rage of a work from the Medals in the British 

useum, and having taken evidence on the said 
subject, consider that in no way can they more satis- 
factorily discharge the duty confided to them by the 
reference in question, than by simply laying before 
the House the Minutes of Evidence so taken, and 
ordering the Petition of Mr. Charles Tilt, to be 
placed as an Appendix to that Evidence, and to 
these Resolutions. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table; 
and be printed. 


Mr. Speaker, 

The Lords, authorized by virtue of His Majesty’s 
Commission, for declaring His Royal Assent to seve- 
ral Acts agreed upon by both Houses, do desire the 
immediate attendance of this Honourable House in 
the House of Peers, to hear the Commission read. 

Accordingly Mr. Speaker, with the House, went 
up to the House of Peers :—And being returned ; 

Mr. Speaker reported, That the House, at the desire 
of the Lords, authorized by virtue of His Majesty’s 
Commission, had been at the House of Peers, where 
a Commission under the Great Seal was read, giving, 
declaring and notifying the Royal Assent to the se- 
veral Public and Private Bills therein mentioned ; 
and that the Lords thereby authorized, had declared 
the Royal Assent to the said Bills :—Which Bills 
are as follow: 

An Act to repeal so much of two Acts of the 


portions of them as would hold out expectations of | ninth and tenth years of King George the Fourth, 


even a partial sale. 

14. Resolved, That it be recommended to the 
Trustees, that every new accession to the Museum 
be forthwith registered in detail, by the officer at the 
head of the department, in a book to be kept for 
that purpose; and that each head of a department 
do make an Annua) Report to the Trustees of the 
Accessions within the year, vouched by the signa- 


as directs the period of the Execution and the Prison 
Discipline of Persons convicted of the Crime of 
Murder: 

An Act to amend an Act passed in the: seventh

ture of the principal Librarian, of desiderata, and of | _An Act to amend an Act of His late Majesty 


the state and condition of his own department. 

15. Resolved, That it he recommended to the 
Trustees to take into consideration the best means 
of giving to the public a facility of obtaining Casts 
from the Statues, Bronzes and Coins, under competent 
superintendence, and at as low a price as possible. 

16. Resolved, That the Committee are well aware 
that many of the alterations, which they have sug- 
gested, cannot be carried into effect, except by m- 
creased liberality on the part of Parliament, both 
with respect to the establishment of the Museum, 
and also to a much greater extent, for the augmenta- 
tion of the Collections in the different departments ; 
but they confidently rely on the readiness of the 
Representatives of the people to make full and 
ample provision for the improvement of an establish- 
ment which already enjoys a high reputation in the 
world of Science, and is an object of daily increas- 
ing interest to the people of this Country.

A Petition of Catherine Robson and Isabella Troutbeck’s 
Ainsley, next of kin of the late Samuel Troutbech, "tate. 
of Madras, was presented, and read ; setting forth, 
That Samuel Troutbeck, of Madras, Patnam, India, 
died in the year 1785, at the advanced age of 85 
years, possessed of considerable property, and leaving 
a will, which the Court of Chancery, in the year 
1814, declared to be void, and no heir at law or next 
of kin appearing, the estate of the said Samuel 
Troutbeck became by law vested in the Crown; 
and the produce of the said estate, videlicet, the 
sum of 3,764/. 14s. cash, and the produce of 
139,433 1. 4s. 4d. Bank 3 per Cent. Annuities, was 
paid into His Majesty’s Treasury ; that the Crown 
is by law the Trustee of such unclaimed properties 
in trust for any claimants who may establish their 
right, and in default of next of kin, legally entitled, 
such properties are now paid into a common fund 
for public purposes; that, in the year 1816, two 
sums, part of the said estate of Samuel Troutbeck, 
videlicet, the sum of 20,000/., and 38,360/., were by 
Treasury Minute paid out of the Droits or Stock 
Funds, and appropriated for and on account of the 
furniture and building cost of the Pavilion residence 
at Brighton of his late Majesty George the Fourth, 
then Prince Regent; that the Petitioners have 
reason to believe that other portions, if not the 
whole, of such funds have been similarly appro- 

4Q2 priated ; 





668 


priated ; that subsequently to these part appro- 
priations the Petitioners, in or about the year 1824, 
were apprised of the unclaimed property of the said 
Samuel Troutbeck, and discovered ‘that the Peti- 
tioners were the next of kin; that the Petitioners, 
by the pecuniary aid and large advances of collateral 
relatives, proceeded to investigate and collect the 
proofs of their kinship to the said Samuel Troutbeck, 
and of their title to his said estate ; that the Peti- 
tioners having obtained such proofs in 1824, peti- 
tioned the Treasury, and were allowed to prosecute 
and prove their said claim in the Court of Chancery ; 
that the Petitioners in every stage of their legal 
proceedings were rigidly opposed in the prosecution 
of such claim by the Solicitors of the Treasury and 
their deputies; that most expensive and protracted 
litigation ensued for a period of eight years, in which 
the Petitioners were held to the strict legal proof of 
every link in their pedigree, involving registers and 
proofs of a century and a half; that, ultimately, in 
an issue tried at York, in 1831, the Petitioners failed 
to obtain a verdict in their favour, owing to a local 
preyevire in the minds of the jury; but that the 
Judge in his charge to the said jury, represented the 
undoubted right of the Petitioners to a verdict in 
their favour; that, notwithstanding the loss of such 
verdict, the Petitioners were allowed their costs by 
the Court of Chancery, the Lord Chancellor admit- 
ting the moral certamty of the claim of the Peti- 
tioners; that the Petitioners have subsequently 
obtained further evidence, placing their claim be- 
yond all doubt; but that such evidence is not 
strictly legal or admissible in Courts of Law without 
consent of the Crown; that when the Crown was by 
law constituted the Trustee of such properties, it 
never was intended that the Crown should retain 
such private funds by forcing on claimants extreme 
legal proof, or by denying consents to receive evi- 
dence which placed the validity of claims beyond 
doubt ; that the Petitioners have recently memo- 
rialized the Treasury to allow them a new trial, and 
which memorial was specially referred to a Lord of 
the Treasury, who, after personally and laboriously 
investigating all the facts of the case, reported, as 
the Petitioners were informed, and believe, decidedly 
m favour of the right of the Petitioners to a new 
trial, and to the consent of the Crown for the recep- 
tion of the evidence procured since the said verdict 
at York; that, notwithstanding such investigation 
and report, the Petitioners have been refused ali 
further redress in the matter of their claim; that 
the Petitioners believe that the abstraction and ap- 
propriation of the estate of the said Samuel Trout- 
beck, principally to the cost of the Pavilion at 
Brighton, is one of the principal impediments to 
the Petitioners’ obtaining justice ; that, under these 
peculiar circumstances, the Petitioners seek redress 
from the House; and praying, That the House will 
appoint a Select Committee to inquire into the cir- 
cumstances of their case, and into the investment 
of the said fund, and to report to the House, with a 
view to the redress of the Petitioners in the matter 
of their complaint. 

Ordered, That the said Petition do lie upon the 
Table ; and be printed. 


te Ordered, That the Return relative to Dissenting 
housesxe, Meeting Houses and Roman Catholic Chapels, which 
No. 443, Was presented yesterday, be printed. 
County Lunatic Ordered, That the Return relative to County 
ge ge Lunatic Asylums, which was presented yesterday,

A Message from the Lords, by Mr. Martin and Message from 

Mr. Roupell : the Lords, 
Mr. Speaker, 

The Lords desire a present Conference with this Municipal 
House, in their Lordships’ Committee Room, No. 5, — 
upon the subject-matter of the Conference on Tues- - 
day last, relative to the Amendments made to the 
Bill, intituled, An Act to explain and amend an 
Act to provide for the Regulation of Municipal Cor- 
poretione in England and Wales :—And then the 

essengers withdrew. 

Resolved, That this House doth agree to a Con- 
ference with the Lords, as desired by their Lord- 


ships. 

And the Messengers were again called in; and 
Mr. Speaker acquainted them therewith :—And then 
they again withdrew. 

Ordered, That the Managers who managed the Municipal 
last Conference do manage this Conference :—And —_——* 
the names of Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Alston, Lord ~'.* 
Viscount Ebrington, Mr. Gore Langton, Sir Charles 0-459. 
Lemon, and Sir George Grey, were added to them. 

Then the names of the Managers were called 
over; and they went to the Conference :—And being 
returned ; 

Mr. Attorney General reported, that the Managers 
had met the Lords at the Conference, which was 
managed on the part of the Lords by the Marquis 
of Salisbury, who acquainted them, that the Lords, 
having taken into consideration the Reasons given 
by the Commons at the last Conference, for dis- 
agreeing to several Amendments made by their Lord- 
ships to the Bill, intituled, An Act to explain and 
amend an Act to provide for the Regulation of Muni- 
cipal Corporations in England and Wales, do insist 
upon some of the Amendments to which this House 
hath disagreed, forwhich they gave their Reasons ; 
do not insist upon other of the said Amendments 
to which this ~ soll hath disagreed ; and do agree 
to some of the Amendments made by this House to 
the Amendments made by their Lordships, without 
any Amendment, and to other of the said Amend- 
ments, with certain Amendments, to which they 
desire the concurrence of this House; and the same 
were read; as follow: 


The Lords agree to the Amendments made by the 
Commons as far as Pr. 4. 1. 21. 
The Lords propose to make the following Amend- 
ment in the original Bill: 
Pr. 4. 1. 28. After “ assessors” insert “ and 
“ auditors,” in order to give effect to the Amend- 
ment made by the Commons in Pr. 4. |. 18. to which 
the Lords have agreed. 
The Lords agree to the Amendments made by the 
Commons as far as Pr. 5. |. 25. 
45s The 





Charitable 
Trustees Bill, 


682 


The Lords insist upon their Amendment in Pr. 5. 
1. 25. to which the sete disagree, for the fol- 
lowing Reasons: 

Because by the Act for the Regulation of Mu- 
nicipal Corporations in England and Wales, 
the presiding officer at Municipal Elections 
has a casting vote, and the Amendment ob- 
jected to by the Commons is in accordance 
with this principle. 

Because the casting vote appears to have been 
given to the presiding officer solely as an 
expedient to obviate the inconvenience of 
non-election, arising from an equality of votes ; 
inasmuch as it was provided, that in the first 
election of Councillors the Mayor should act 
with the joint powers of Mayor and Assessors, 
that Mayor being the officer of the corporate 


19°—20° Julze. 





body which it was deemed fit to abolish, and 
being without any manifest proof of the con- 
fidence of his fellow burgesses under the new 
law. 

Because it seems advisable rather to incur the 
risk of the possible effect apprehended by the 
Commons, that of giving the preponderance 
to one of two equal parties—a risk inse- 
parably attached to a casting vote—than to 
make enactments at variance with those ma- 
turely considered and recently sanctioned by 
Parliament. 

The Lords insist upon their Amendment in Pr. 6. 
1. 17. to which the Commons disagree, for the fol- 
lowing Reasons : 

Because by the same Act the election of the 
Mayor and Aldermen was confided to the 
Councillors, and the Amendment objected to 
by the Commons is likewise in accordance 
with this principle. 

Because it appears expedient that occasional 
defects in the working of an Act should be 
supplied by provisions not going beyond the 
occasion which requires them, and not con- 
travening the principles of the measure they 
are intended to amend. 

The Lords insist upon Clause (L.), added by this 
House to the Bill, to which the Commons disagree, 
for the following Reasons : 

Because the inconvenience which would arise 
from allowing the management of the Cha- 
ritable Trusts to devolve upon the Lord 
Chancellor on the ist of August next, appears 
to be greater than that which would result 
from prolonging the powers of the present 
Trustees, with the view of enabling Parlia- 
ment to mature a measure for the future ad- 
ministration of such Trusts. 

The Lords agree to the Amendments made by the 
Commons as far as Clause (Z.), added by this House 
to the Bill. 

The Lords agree to the Amendment made by the 
Commons to the said Clause (Z.), with the following 
Amendments : 

L. 12. Leave out from “ affect” to “ which ” in 
1. 13. and insert “ any right or privilege ;” and in 
L. 13. after “ the ” insert “ Chancellor, Masters and 
“ Scholars of the said University or the said.” 


L.15. After “lawfully” insert “have or enjoy or.” |

be taken into consideration upon Thursday, the

1. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee 
that, since the year 1795, the Sales of Waste Land 
in the United States have produced a sum of 
59,707,439 dollars, or 12,439,049/. sterling, without 
including the first quarter of the present year (1836), 
during which the Land Sales amounted to 4,439,650 
dollars; and that the revenue derived, annually, from 
this source, has advanced, progressively, from 4,836 
dollars (which was the amount received in 1796), to 
11,000,000 of dollars (which was the amount re- 
ceived in 1835), with every prospect of a farther 
increase, the estimate for the present year being 
20,000,000 of dollars, and the receipts for the 
quarter ending 31st March 4,439,650 dollars. 


2. Resolved, That the Land Sales in the United 
States appear to be conducted upon an uniform and 
well-organized system, which is applied to the whole 
Federation; there being a General Land Office 
established at Washington, under separate and re- 
sponsible officers, who have no political duties 
whatsoever, with 40 subordinate District Land 
Offices in other parts of the Union; that these Land 
Offices are connected with a Surveying Department 
upon so extensive a scale, that the Land actually 
surveyed amounts to 110,000,000 of acres, over and 
above the 40,000,000 of acres already disposed ‘of ; 
that all Land is offered for Sale by Auction, at an 
upset price fixed by the Legislature ; and that pur- 
chasers have the security of an Act of Congress both 
for the performance of the conditions upon which 
they buy the Land, and for the permanence of the 
system under which they acquire it. 


3. Resolved, That it does not appear to the Com- 
mittee, that, in the British Colonies included within 
the reference to this Committee, any regular or 
uniform system of Sale was adopted up to the year 
1831, although certain conditions were attached to 
the occupation of Land, under the name of Quit 
Rents, Toner Payments or cultivation of the soil, 
which it was found impossible to enforce effectually. 
These conditions, moreover, were exceedingly vari- 
ous and fluctuating, productive of little advantage 
to the State, and often injurious to the Colonists 
themselves, by allowing vast tracts of waste Land, 
either as grants to individuals, or as reserves for 
various public purposes, to interpose between the 
settled districts, and thus to interrupt the progress 
of cultivation and improvement. 


4. Resolved, That, in the year 1831, the principle 
of uniformly affixing a price to Land was introduced 
by Lord Ripon’s Regulations, which required that 
all Land should be disposed of by Auction, at a 
minimum upset price, and for ready money only, by 
the colonial authorities, the sale being declared 
void, and the deposit of 10 per cent. forfeited, if the 
purchase were not completed withina month. But, 
it is the opinion of the Committee, that the new 
system, although its effects are shown to have been 
highly beneficial already, has not yet been produc- 
tive of all the good which may be expected to flow 
from it, when brought into more extended operation 
under a system of superintendence similar to that 


of the United States, and with the guarantee of an 
Act of Parliament.

5. Resolved, That the Committee, therefore, re- 
commend that the principle established by Lord 
Ripon’s Regulations should be affirmed by an Act 
of the Legislature, in order to give to this principle 
a character of permanency and stability, which it 
does not possess at present. 

6. Resolved, With regard to the minimum price, 
which ought to be affixed to Land in the first 
instance, the Committee pronounces no opinion, 
conceiving that the whole tenor of the Evidence goes 
to prove that it must vary according to the circum- 
stances of each Colony, and can only be determined, 
in any one, by the test of experience. 

But it appears to the Committee, that the whole 
of the arrangements connected with the Sale of 
Land, including both the price and the precise mode 
of sale, should be placed under the charge of a 
central Land Board, resident in London, and made 
responsible either to some existing department in 
the Government, or to Parliament directly, as may 
be deemed expedient: That this Board, acting 
through Local ) anes established in the Colonies, 
should be charged as well with the superintendence 
of the Surveying Department, as with the care of 
so directing the stream of Emigration, which may 
be expected to flow into the Colonies from the 
Mother Country, as to proportion, in each, the 
supply of labour to the demand. 

7. Resolved, That, with a view to this latter duty, 
in the opinion of the Committee, it is most expedi- 
ent that, with the exception of the West Indies, to 
which it will appear by the Evidence that a different 
system of Colonization might be more suitable, but 
where the application of the same principle appears 
to be equally desirable, the net proceeds of the 
Land Sales in those Colonies, the climate of which 
is not unfavourable to the European frame, should 
be employed as an Emigration Fund ; each Colony 
being furnished with emigrant labour in exact pro- 
portion to the amount of its own Land Sales. 

8. Resolved, That the Committee sees reason to 
believe that, by a judicious selection of the Emi- 
grants, and by giving a preference to young couples 
recently married, a great effect might be produced, 
in opposite senses, upon the state of the population 
here and in the Colonies, by the removal of a much 
smaller number of persons than might at first be 
thought necessary. The Committee beg to refer to 
certam Tables prepared’ under their direction b 
Mr. Lewis, and annexed to the Report, to ssa 
their meaning. 

9. Resolved, That it appears to the Committee that 
it would be perfectly practicable to raise, upon the 
security of the future Land Sales, the funds necessary 
to set on foot a plan of systematic Emigration, upon 
a scale sufficiently large to meet the exigencies of 
the Colonies and of the Mother Country. 

10. Resolved, That in this, as in all their other 
recommendations, the Committee have looked with 
ea as lively an anxiety to the welfare of the 

olonies as to that of the Mother Country ; that, in 
all matters connected with Emigration, they con- 
ceive the interests of the two to be inseparable ; 
one thing wanting in the Colonies, being precisely 
that free or hired labour, a superabundant supply of 
which is occasioning great local suffering in other 
parts of the Empire; while the sranalee of this 
labour to the Colonies, by enabling them to turn to 
the best account the advantages of soil, climate and 
great natural fertility, which they possess already, 
cannot fail to open new channels of industry and 
commerce, both to them and to the Mother Country, 
and thus to enhance incalculably the prosperity of 
the United Empire. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ;

Cxiavse (B.) “ And whereas by an Act passed in 
the fourth and fifth years of the reign of his pre- 
sent Majesty, intituled, ‘An Act for the Amend- 
ment of the Proceedings and Practice of the High 
Court of Chancery in Jreland, after reciting that 
it was reasonable and just that the Six Clerks of 
the said Court, being purchasers of and entitled 
to sell at pleasure their respective offices, should 
receive for any diminution of annual income, and 
also for any depreciation of purchase value of their 
offices, full and adequate compensation, and also 
that such of the other officers of the said Court as 
the Commissioners of His Majesty’s Treasury 
thereinafter provided should think entitled thereto, 
should also receive compensation for lawful fees 
and emoluments diminished or taken away, it was 
enacted, that it should be lawful for the Piceais. 
sioners of His Majesty’s Treasury for the time 
being, by warrant under their hands, to order and 
direct that such compensation should be made to 
the said Six Clerks respectively, and to such other 
officers who then held office ia or belonging to 
the said Court, as the said Commissioners in their 
discretion should deem just and reasonable; and 
it was by the said recited Act further enacted, 
that the several and respective sums for compen- 
sation should be paid and payable out of the 
account called ‘ An Account of the Interest and 
Produce of the Compensation and Fee Fund of 
the Suitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland,’ 
as far as the same would extend ; and in case the 
Suitors’ Fund should be inadequate to the payment 
of the whole amount of compensation, the amount 
beyond what could be satisfied out of the Suitors’ 
Fund should be charged upon and paid out of the 
Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom ; and 
it was by the said recited Act further enacted, 
that if any of the Six Clerks should sell his said 
office, it should be lawful for him, at any time 
within Six calendar months after such sale, to 
apply to the Commissioners of His Majesty’s 
Treasury for compensation for the diminution of 
value of his office, and in such case it should be 
lawful for the said Commissioners to order and 
direct that such annual or other compensation 
should be made to the Six Clerks as they should 
deem just and reasonable ; and all such compen- 
sation, whether annual or in gross, should be 
charged upon and paid out of the Consolidated 
Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain 
and Jreland: And whereas the said Six Clerks 
being deprived of their offices by virtue of this 
Act, they are now entitled to be paid compensa- 
tion, as well in respect of their right of sale of 
their said offices as in respect of their annual in- 
come derived therefrom: And whereas it is rea- 
sonable and fit that compensation should also be 
made to the Usher and deo to the Cursitor of this 
Court; Be it therefore Enacted, That it shall be 
lawful for the Commissioners of His Majesty’s 
Treasury for the time being, or any Three or more 
of them, by warrant under his or their hand or 
hands, to order or direct such compensation in 
gross to be made to the said Six Clerks for such 
their right of sale of their said offices, and also to 
order or direct such compensation to be made to 
the said Six Clerks and persons, for such annual 
loss as they shall respectively sustain by reason 
of the provisions of this Act, as shall be just and 
reasonable ; and such compensation shall be issued 
and paid and payable in manner hereinafter men- 
tioned: Provided always, That such compensa- 
tion to the Cursitor for his loss of office shall 
be regulated by the average annual amount of the 
emoluments of the said office for Three years 
next preceding the First day of November One 
thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, and that 
an account ofall such compensation shall, within

ranted, be laid upon the Table of the House of 
Cuikiaions, if Parliament shall be then assembled, 
or if Parliament shall not be then assembled, 
within Fourteen days after the meeting of Parlia~

that the compensation to be made to the Usher 
shall not exceed the annual amount of the income 
of his office, of an average of the Five years next 
preceding the First day of November One thou- 
sand eight hundred and thirty-four, or be less 
than three-fourths of such amount.” 

Crauss (C.) “ And be it further Enacted, That 
for the better enabling of His Majesty’s Treasury 
to form a correct judgment of the nature and 
amount of the compensations which it may be rea- 
sonable and proper to make to the said officers 
for their loss of office or diminished income under 
this Act, it shall and may be lawful for the Com- 
missioners of His Majesty’s Treasury, if they shall 
think fit, to refer all claims for compensation to 
Commissioners, as in the said before-recited Act 
they are authorized to do with respect to claims 
thereunder.” 

Cuavuse (D.) “ And be it further Enacted, That 
the several and respective sums as and for com- 
pensation which the Commissioners of His Ma- 
jesty’s Treasury shall by warrant or warrants as 
aforesaid order and direct to be paid to any officer 
shall be paid and payable to the officer or officers 
named in such warrant or warrants, in the first 
place, out of the funds standing to the credit of 
the Account called ‘ An Account of the Interest 
and Produce of the Compensation and Fee Fund 
of the Suitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, 
as far as the same will extend, and in the next 
place, out of the funds which may be standing to 
the credit of ‘ The Suitors’ Fee Ane Account ;’ 
and in case both the said funds shall be inadequate 
to the payment of the whole of such compensa- 
tion to be given under this Act, the amount of the 
compensation beyond what can be so satisfied 
shall be charged upon and paid out of the Conso- 
lidated Fund of the United Kingdom, without any 
fee or deduction whatsoever ; and every such sum 
as and for annual compensation to be issued in 
pursuance of this Act, shall be payable and paid 
qoarterty, on every Twentieth day of January, 

wentieth day of April, Twentieth day of July, 
and Twentieth day of October, the first payment 
thereof to be made on the First of said quarterly 
days which shall next follow the day of the com- 
mencement of this Act.” 

Cravse (E.) “ And whereas the Office of Six 
Clerks in the Court of Chancery of Ireland will 
be abolished by the provisions of this Act, whereby 
the several persons now acting as Clerks in said 
offices, many of whom have been acting therein 
for a series of years, will be deprived of employ- 
ment in such situations, and it is just and reason- 
able that compensation should be made to such 
persons for the loss of their several situations, 
and also to the Clerk now employed in the office 
of the Cursitor, and to Mr. Daniel Daly and 
Joseph Whelan, clerks employed in the office of 
the Registrars, for the loss of their offices by 
reason of this Act; Be it therefore Enacted, That 
it shall and may be lawful for the Masters of said 
Court, or any two or more of them, to inquire 
into, by examination on oath or otherwise (which 
oath they are hereby authorized to administer) 
and ascertain the annual amount of the lawful

custody of the Great Seal of Jreland for the time 
being, and thereupon it shall and may be lawful 
for the said Lord Chancellor, Lord Keeper or 
Lords Commissioners for the custody of the 
Great Seal of Jreland for the time being, with the 
sanction of the Commissioners of His Majesty’s 
Treasury, to order to all and oy of said clerks 
who shall be so deprived of employment in said 
offices as aforesaid an annual sum or sums to be 
paid out of ‘The Suitors’ Fee Fund Account,’ and 
that such annual sum or sums shall be paid and 
payable to such person or persons and his or 
their assigns during the term of his or their 
natural life or lives, by Four quarterly payments 
in each and every year, free and clear of all taxes 
and deductions whatsoever, on every Twentieth 
day of January, the Twentieth day of April, the 
Twentieth day of July, and the Twentieth day of 
October, the first payment thereof to be made on 
the first of said days which shall next happen 
after the commencement of this Act, and also 
such proportions of any such quarterly payments 
as at the time of the decease of any such person 
or persons shall be due from the quarter-day next 
preceding the time of such decease: Provided 
always, That the annual sum so to be payable to 
any of said clerks shall not exceed Two-thirds of 
the average annual amount of the sums received 
by them respectively as such clerks for the periods 
aforesaid.” 

CuauseE (F.) “ And whereas John Daly, who 
held for many years the office of chief clerk in 
the Registrar’s Office, became unable, in conse- 
quence of a severe illness, to discharge the duties 
of said office, and has received for some years an 
annual allowance of Four hundred pounds, which 
is paid as follows; (that is to sy) Two hundred 
pounds thereof by Yelverton O’ Keefe, the present 
chief clerk, One hundred pounds thereof by 
Francis Prendergast, one of the present Regis- 
trars, and One hundred pounds thereof by Charles 
O’ Keefe, the other Registrar ; and it is expedient 
to provide that such annual allowance shall con- 
tinue to be paid during the life of the said John 
Daly in case he shall survive any of said persons ; 
Be it Enacted, That in case the said John Daly 
shall survive the said Francis Prendergast, Charles 
nbe'g 28 or Yelverton O’ Keefe, the person who 
shall be appointed to any office which shall be- 
come vacant by the death of | of them shall 
continue to pay to the said John Daly, during 
his life, so much of the said annual allowance as 
the person so dying has usually paid as afore- 
said.” 

Cuavse (G.) “ And whereas by said last-recited 
Act it was enacted that it should be lawful for 
every officer claiming compensation as therein 
mentioned on the first day of Hilary Term One 
thousand eight hundred and thirty-six, and on 
every succeeding first day of Hilary Term, and 
for one month thereafter in each year seapertely, 
so long as the said officer should hold his office, 
to make out and render to the Lord High Trea- 
surer or Commissioners of His Majesty’s Trea- 
sury an account in writing, to be verified as therein 
mentioned, of the gross and net emoluments of 
said office, and of the disbursements thereof, in 
such form and with such particulars of receipt as 
the said Commissioners, or any Three or more of 
them should require, and that the said Lord High 
Treasurer or said Commissioners as aforesaid 
should ascertain as they should think proper the

gross and net income of such office, and also the 
disbursements thereof, for and during the year 
for which such account should be rendered, and 
the amount of compensation to which he or they 
should deem such officer entitled for and during 
said year: And whereas inasmuch as by the 
operation of this Act the offices now held by 
some of said officers entitled to compensation 
under the provisions of the said recited Act will 
be abolished, and they will thereby be rendered 
incapable of making the returns directed by said 
Act; Be it therefore Enacted, That it shall be 
lawful for such officers as may be disenabled by 
the provisions of this Act from making the returns 
directed by said recited Act, to make or cause to 
be made out and render to the Lord High Trea-- 
surer or the Commissioners of His Majesty’s 
Treasury accounts in the form and with such par- 
ticulars of receipt and expenditure as is directed 
by said recited Act for the portion of the year 
intervening between the first day of last Hilary 
Term and the day of this Act coming into opera- 
tion; and the Lord High Treasurer or Commis- 
sioners as aforesaid, shall ascertain as they shall 
think proper the compensation to which he or 
they shall deem such officer entitled for and durin 
the said portion of the year; and that it shall be 
lawful for such Lord High Treasurer or Commis- 
sioners as aforesaid, or any Three or more of. 
them, by warrant or warrants under their hands, 
to order and direct such compensation to be 
made to said officers for such portion of the year 
as aforesaid as the said Lord High Treasurer or 
Commissioners of His Majesty’s Treasury in their 
discretion shall deem just and reasonable.” 

Cuause (H.) “ And whereas John Brenan, one 
of the Six Clerks of said Court, is now, under 
the provisions of an Act passed in the fourth year 
of the reign of his late Majesty King George the 
Fourth, intituled, ‘An Act for the better Adminis- 
tration of Justice in the Court of Chancery in 
Ireland,’ and an Act of Parliament of the sixth 
year of his late Majesty’s reign, to amend said 
Act, entitled to be paid out of the produce of the 
Consolidated Fund an annual compensation for a 
diminution of the emolument of his office, occa- 
sioned by the provisions of said Acts, the amount 
of which compensation is to be ascertained an- 
nually, as mentioned in said Act: And whereas 
the said John Brenan will cease to hold his said 
office under the provisions of this Act, and on 
that account it will not be practicable to ascertain 
the annual amount of the compensation to be 
paid to him under said Acts, in the manner 
therein mentioned; Be it therefore Enacted, That 
the sum of Nine hundred and fifty-two pounds 
ten shillings and five-pence present currency, 
equivalent to the sum of One thousand and thirty- 
one pounds, seventeen shillings and eleven-pence 
halfpenny of late Jrish currency, which was the 
sum payable to him in the year ending one 
thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, as and 
for his compensation under the said before-men- 
tioned Act, shall from and after the third day of 
November One thousand eight hundred and 
thirty-five, be taken to be the amount of the 
annual compensation payable to him under said 
Acts, and shall be paid to him out of the Con- 
solidated Fund at the times and manner as 
directed by said Acts with respect to officers who 
have heretofore sold their respective offices under 
said Acts.” 

CravseE (I.) “ And whereas under the provi- 
sions of certain Acts of Parliament recently passed, 
and certain rules for regulating the practice of the 
Court of Chancery in Treland, the duties of the 
Clerk of Enrolments may ,be considerably in- 
creased ; Be it Enacted, That if it shall appear 
reasonable and proper to the Lord Chancellor and 
Master of the Rolls to direct any remuneration to

“* now payable to him, it shall be lawful for them to 
order, with the sanction of the Commissioners of 
“ His Majesty’s Treasury, that such annual sum,

annum, as they shall think reasonable, shall be 
paid to such Clerk for the performance of such,

And also, 

The Lords have agreed to the Bill, intituled, An

sire the concurrence of this House :—And then the 
Messengers withdrew. 


Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer reported to the 
House, That their several Addresses of the 28th and

this instant August (that His Majesty would be

Ordered, That the said Papers do lie upon the

Lord John Russell reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up Reasons to be offered to 
the Lords at a Conference for disagreeing to cer- 
tain of the Amendments made by the Lords to the 
Pill, intituled, An Act for the Commutation of Tithes 
in England and Wales; That the Committee had 
drawn up Reasons accordingly, which they had 
directed him to report ; and the same were read, as 
follow : 

The Commons agree to the Amendments made 
by the Lords, as far as Pr. 26. 1. 29. but propose to 
amend Clause (C.), by leaving out “ the Tithes 
“ whereof,” Fo. 3. 1. 2. and 3. and inserting “ where- 
“ of the Tithes,” and after “ commuted,” 1. 4. by 
inserting “ shall be the subject of such agreement,” 
and by leaving out “ of Freehold tenure,” Fo. 3. 1. 12. 
and after “ outgoings,” 1. ult. by inserting “ and 





4° Augusti. 











A. 1836. 


“ shall not be of Leasehold tenure, nor of Copyhold 
“ or Customary tenure, subject to ordinary fine or 
“ the render of heriots.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments as far 
as P. 32. 1. 10. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amendment 
Pr. 32. 1.10. by leaving out “ real value of,” and 
inserting “sum fairly payable by way of composition 
ie,” 

The Commons agree to the Amendments as far 
as Pr, 33. 1. 9. 

The Commons disagree to the insertion proposed 
by the Lords, Pr. 33. 1. 9. and in lieu thereof propose 
to insert “ such an,” and after “ thereof,” Pr. 33. . 
1. 10. to add “ as shall be an equivalent for all such 
“ yates, charges and assessments as were actually 
“ paid or duly imposed.” 

The Commons agree to the Amendment Pr. 33. 
1. 13. 


The Commons disagree to the Amendment, 
33. 1. 38. for the following Reasons : 

Because one of the objects of this Clause is to 
enable the Commissioners to reduce the sum 
at which the permanent rent-charge is to be 
calculated in those cases in which the real 
value of the Tithes during Seven years pre- 
ceding Christmas One thousand eight hun- 
dred and thirty-five, may have been greater 
than would probably accrue permanently in 
the parish, according to the usual course of 
husbandry: Because this object might be 
defeated, if the words proposed to be inserted 
by the Lords should be construed with re- 
ference to the past value of the Tithes only, 
and not with reference to their permanent 
average value. 


The Commons agree to the Amendments as far 
as the Amendment, |. ult. in Clause (A.), added by 
way of rider to the Bill. 


The Commons disagree to so much of the Amend- 
ment, |. ult. Clause (A.), as proposes to leave out 
from “ Commissioners” to “ and,” Pr. 39. 1. 24. 
for the following Reason : 

Because they observe that the Lords have made 
this Amendment for the purpose of removing 
the Clause here struck out to a subsequent 
part of the Bill; and because it appears to 
the Commons that the place in which the 
Clause stood originally is the most suitable: 
for it, as another Clause almost immediately 
— relates to the mode of valuing the 

ithes of hops and garden produce, to which 
this Clause has also reference. 

The Commons propose to amend Clause (F.), by 
leaving out “ during that period,” Fo. 1. 1. 9. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments as far 
as Pr. 52. 1. ult. 

The Commons disagree to Clause (G.), for the 
Reasons already stated for disagreeing to the Amend- 
ment to leave out from “ Commissioners,” 1. ult. in 
Clause (A.) to “ And,” Pr. 29, 1. 24. 

The Commons agree to the Amendments as far 
as Pr. 81.1. 38. 

The Commons disagree to the Amendment Pr. 81. 
1, 38. for the following Reasons: 

Because the continuance of the Tithes which 
would be preserved from commutation by 
this Amendment would be productive of dis- 
sensions between the Tithe-owners and the 
Tithe-payers, which it is a principal object 
of this Bill to put an end to. 

Because if it should be found that any incon- 
veniences should be occasioned by converting 
these Tithes into a Rent-charge, in the manner 
provided by the Bill, provision might be 
made in a Bill now before your Lordships, 
intituled, “ An Act for the Abolition of Per- 
sonal Tithes,” for extending the inquiries 
authorized to be made by that Bill to the 

Rent- 








6-7 Wit. IV. 


Rent-charges for which these Tithes will 
have been commuted, with a view to extin- 
guishing them upon a due compensation. 

The Commons agree to the other Amendments 
made by the Lords to the Bill. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill: And that 
Lord John Russell do go to the Lords, and desire 
‘the said Conference. 


A Motion was made, and the Question being pro- 
posed, That the Order of the day, for the third read- 
ing of the ingrossed Bill to amend the Laws relating 
to the Customs, be now read ; 

An Amendment was proposed to be made to the 
Question, by leaving out from the word “ That” to 
“ the end of the Question, in order to add the words 
an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, 
requesting that His Majesty will be graciously 

leased to direct that an immediate Survey be 
made of the Harbours of Liverpool, Holyhead 
and Port Dynilaen, and of such other points on 
the Western Coast of England and Wales as 
may appear suitable for a direct communication 
between London and Dublin, so as to ascertain 
the respective qualifications and capacities of 
improvement of each as a Packet Harbour be- 
tween London and Dublin, and also as a Harbour 
of Refuge for the trade passing up and down the 
Irish Channel, with a view to such Surveys being 
laid before Parliament,” instead thereof.

ing Drawbacks on the removal of the same ; to repeal 
the additional Duties of Excise on Licenses to Re- 
tailers of Spirits in the United Kingdom, and to 
alter the Laws relating to Distillers and Retailers 
of Spirits: And also, 

The Lords agree to a Free Conference, as desired Municipal 
by this House in their Message of yesterday, and Corporations 
appoint the same, presently, in the Committee Room, ~"* 

No. 5:—And then the Messengers withdrew. 


Ordered, That Lord John Russell, Mr. Chancellor Municipal 

of the Exchequer, Lord Viscount Palmerston, Lord Corporations 
Viscount Howick, Lord Viscount Morpeth, Sir John - 
Hobhouse, Mr. Poulett Thomson, Lord Seymour, Mr. 
Attorney General, Mr. Solicitor General, Mr. Ber 
nal, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Alston, Mr. Tancred, Dr. 
Lushington, and Mr. Baines, be appointed Managers 
to manage the Free Conference. 

Then the names of the Managers were called over; 
and they went to the Conference :—And being re- 
turned ; 

Lord John Russell reported, That the Managers 
had met the Lords at the-free Conference, which 
was managed on the part of the Lords by the Earl 
of Ripon; that they acquainted the Lords that the 
Commons agree to the Amendment in Pr. 4. 1. 28.; 
that they insist upon their disagreement to the 
Amendments in Pr. 5. 1. 25. and in Pr. 6. 1. 17. and 
upon their disagreement to Clause (L.); and that 
they agree to the Amendment made by the Lords 
in the Amendment made by the Commons to Clause 
(Z.) 
That the Commons greatly regret that they are 
unable to agree to all the Amendments made by the 
Lords; that they insist on their disagreement to 
the Amendments made by the Lords in Pr. 5. 1. 25. 
and Pr. 6. 1. 17. because it does not seem reasonable, 
when the means of popular Election are at hand, 
to refer to chance the nomination not only of the 
Mayor, but likewise as a necessary consequence of 
the body of Aldermen, who will remain in office for 
the periods of Three and Six years. 

That the Commons insist on their disagreement 
to Clause (L.); that they consider this Amendment 
of far greater importance than the former ; that they 
fear that, by giving any assent to it, they might 
countenance the belief that they were prepared to 
continue in the members of the late Corporations 
a trust which, in too many instances, has been mis- 
used ; that the inconvenience of leaving the direction 
of those charitable trusts to the Lord Chancellor 
might be obviated, in the opinion of the Commons, 
by expressly giving to the Lord Chancellor the 
nomination of new trustees, to be appointed under 
the Great Seal, for a single year; that the Commons 
are unwilling to believe that the Lords attach so 
much importance to this Clause as to consider its 
insertion in this Bill absolutely essential; that the 





Commons therefore hope that the Lords will recede 
from the Amendments to which the House of Com- 
mons have disagreed.

Marriages Bill, 


784 


That thereupon the Earl of Ripon acquainted the 
Managers that, as one of those who had been de- 
puted by the House of Lords to meet the House of 
Commons in Conference upon the present occasion, 
he begged on their part to assure the Managers on 
the part of the Commons, that they felt it to be their 
duty, and should discharge that duty most con- 
formably to the wishes of the House of Lords, by 
giving most respectful attention to the suggestions 
and representations which had been made to them 
on the part of the House of Commons, feeling most 
anxious, whatever difference of opinion may exist 
upon occasions in which the two Houses of Parlia- 
ment may be called upon to meet together in free 
Conference, to do all in their power to promote the 
public interests and sound legislation, by maintaining 
that harmony, good understanding and mutual re- 
spect which has always characterized the intercourse 
of the two Houses of Parliament. That, with these 
feelings, it would be their duty to represent to the 
House of Lords the statement which had been made 
to them, in order that they may receive from that 
House their final structions as to the decision to 
which they will come. 

That thereupon the Managers delivered the Bill 
and Amendments to their Lordships.

appoint the same presently in the Committee Room, 
No. 5 :—And then the Messengers withdrew. 


Resolved, That this House doth agree to a Free 
Conference, as desired by their Lordships. 

And the Messengers were again called in; and 
Mr. Speaker acquainted them therewith :—And then 
they again withdrew. 


Ordered, That the Managers who managed the 
last Free Conference do manage this. 

Then the names of the Managers were called 
over ; and some of them not appearing, Mr. Hume, 
Mr. Ewart, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Cutlur Fergusson, 
and Mr. Loch, were added in lieu of those wile did 
not appear. 

Then the Managers went to the Conference ; and 
being returned ; 

Lord John Russell reported, That the Managers 
had met the Lords at the free Conference, which was 
managed on the part of the Lords by the Earl of 
Ripon, who acquainted them, that the Lords adhere 
to their Amendment in Pr. 5. 1. 25: 

Because the Municipal Corporations Act not 
having provided that a fresh election should 
take place in the event of an equality of 
votes, the Lords consider that it would be 
in accordance with the principle of that Act, 
which this Bill is intended to amend, to 
meet the difficulty arismg from an equality 
of votes, in the manner in which it is met 
under the provisions of that Act, namely, 
by the casting vote of the person presiding 
at the election. 

That the Lords likewise adhere to the insertion of 
Clause (L.): 

Because they are of opinion, that the incon- 
venience arising from the placing of the 
Charitable Trusts under the management of 
the Lord Chancellor, would be much greater 
than that of allowing them to remain until 
the end of the next Session, or until Parlia- 
ment shall otherwise provide, in the hands of 
the persons in whom both Houses of Parlia- 
ment concurred in continuing them by the 
Act of last year.

That the Lords observe, that it has not appeared 
that any practical injury has arisen from the 
disposition with respect to these Trusts made 
with the concurrence of both Houses in the 
course of the last Session; but the Lords are 
nevertheless anxiously desirous that the ma- 
nagement of these Charitable Funds should 
be placed upon a permanent and satisfactory 
footing, whereby the administration of Cha- 
rities intended for the benefit of the poor, 
might, as far as possible, be divested of all 
party influence. 

That thereupon a discussion arose between the 
Managers on the part of the Commons, and the 
Managers on the part of the Lords; and that the 
Managers on the part of the Lords thereupon deli- 
vered back the Bill, and Amendments, to the Mana- 
gers of the Commons. 

Ordered, That the said Reasons and Amendments 
be taken into further consideration upon this day 
three months.

with the most injurious consequences, as 
tending to render contracts between landlords 
and tenants uncertain, and holding out a 
temptation to commit perjury; and because 
the policy of the law both in England and 
Ireland has for a considerable length of time 
been_ to cause all contracts, and particularly 
contracts relating to land, to be reduced into 
writing, and serious evils daily occur in those 
cases which the law has not as yet reached ; 
and because the legislature, acting on such 
policy, did not by the Act of the 56 Geo. 3, 
c. 88 (the Act conferring on the Assistant 
Barrister the ejectment jurisdiction in cases 
between landlord and tenant), confer such 
jurisdiction on the Assistant Barrister; and 
although two subsequent Acts have since 
been passed to amend and extend the pro- 
visions of such Act, viz. the 58 Geo.3, c. 39, 
and 1 Geo. 4, c. 41, yet it has never been con- 
sidered expedient until now to confer on the 
Assistant Barrister the jurisdiction in eject- 
ments for non-payment of rent in cases of 
parol demises ; and because such jurisdiction 
would enable Assistant Barristers to decide 
cases of ejectment for non-payment of rent 
on evidence which would not be sufficient in 
any of the Superior Courts if the ejectment 
was brought in such Superior Court ; and be- 
cause, in the opinion of the Commons, the 
object which the Lords have in proposing 
this Amendment will be better elected by 
the proposed reduction in the Stamp Duty 
on all leases or contracts for leases where 
the rent does not exceed £.25, the obstacle 
now existing to a writing in all cases being 
the expense of the Stamp; and because the 
proposed Amendment would effect a material 
alteration in the law of landlord and tenant 
in Jreland, inconsistent with the provisions 
of several Acts of the Jrish Parliament which 
require that there shall be a contract in 
writing ascertaining the rent, in order to enable 
the landlord to maintain an ejectment for 
non-payment of rent.

The 








Adjournment. 


Port of London, 


No. 557. 





796 


The Commons agree to all the other Amendments 
made by the Lords to the Bill. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Conference be desired with the 
Lords upon the subject-matter of the Amendments 
made by their Lordships to the said Bill: And that 
Mr. Lynch do go to the Lords, and desire the said 
Conference. 


Resolved, That that this House will, at the rising 
of the House this day, adjourn till To-morrow, at 
twelve of the clock. 


Ordered, That the Select Committee appointed to 
inquire into the state of the Port of London, and to 
report their observations thereupon to the House, 
have Power toreport their opinion thereupon, together 
with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before 
them. 

Mr. Labouchere reported from the said Select 
Committee; and to whom several Petitions were 
referred ; That they had considered the matters re- 
ferred to them, and had come to several Resolutions, 
which they had directed him to report, together with 
the Minutes of the Evidence taken before them ; and 
the Resolutions of the Committee were read, as 
follow : 

1. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, 
that the navigation of the River Thames, in the Port 
of London, has for a great length of time been sub- 
jected to serious and increasing obstructions, by 
which the maritime approach te the Metropolis has 
been impeded, the shipping exposed to injury and 
needless detention, and that frequent accidents have 
occurred, several of which were attended with the 
loss of human life. 

2. Resolved, That these obstructions have been 
produced by the crowded state of the River, arising 
from the greatly increased and still increasing Traffic 
and Shipping frequenting the Port, by the introduc- 
tion of Steam Navigation, and especially by the Col- 
lier Tiers stationed in the Pool, and the ill-regulated 
manner in which Colliers have been permitted to lie 
at anchor in the stream; by Shoals and Banks, 
which present impediments tothe Navigation; and, 
finally, by the want of an efficient supervision and a 
more effective execution of the Harbour Service ; and 
that although it appears to this Committee that since 
the period at which they commenced their inquiries 
an improvement in the last respect has taken place, 
yet they conceive that the public have no adequate 
security against its recurrence. 

3. Resolved, That this Committee are of opinion, 
that the various conflicting jurisdictions and claims 
of the Admiralty, the Trinity House and the Cor- 
poration of the city of London, over the River 
Thames below the Bridges, have had a most injurious 


12° Augusti. 





effect upon the interests of Navigation, and that it is 
desirable that they should be consolidated and vested | 
in some one responsible body, and that means | 
should be found to provide for the removal of Shoals | 
and obstructions in the bed of the River. 

4. Resolved, That, considering the magnitude of | 
the interests involved, and the pressing necessity of | 
remedial regulations under legislative authority, by | 
which accidents on the River may be provided | 
against, additional security to property afloat afforded, 
arid the Commerce and Navigation of the Port of | 
London preserved and promoted, the Committee re- | 
commend that a Copy of the Minutes of Evidence | 
taken before them, and of the Papers connected | 
with this inquiry, be referred to the Right honour- | 
able the Lords of the Committee of His Majesty’s | 
Privy Council for Trade, with ‘a view that a Bill | 
may be prepared under the authority of His Ma- | 
jesty’s Government for consolidating, enlarging and | 
amending the laws for rendering more commodious 
and beiter regulating the Port of London, and to 





embrace the various amendments and one 


A. 1836. 


regulations required, and that such Bill be submitted 
to Parliament early in the ensuing Session. 

5. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, that for the safe and convenient transit of 
Shipping and Craft in the Port of London, it is ex- 
pedient that a clear passage of the width of not less 
than Three hundred feet should be maintained in 
the River Thames, according to the existing Bye- 
laws, that the Colliers at anchor in the stream should 
be so regulated as to prevent interruption to Ships 
passing up and down, and that suitable Moorings 
should be laid down for Colliers in the Pool, so as 
to secure them in their respective stations, and pre- 
vent encroachment on the waterway; and that if, 
in consequence of preserving a clear passage to this 
extent, inconvenience should result to the general 
Trade of the River, it appears to your Committee 
that it may be desirable to encourage the construc- 
tion of Collier Docks, in order to facilitate this 
object. 

6. Resolved, It further appears to this Committee, 
that as a precautionary measure, and with a view 
to the preservation of human life, the rate of speed 
of Steam Vessels, navigating between Deptford and 
London Bridge, should be at a reduced rate, and 
that the attention of proprietors of Steam Vessels 
frequenting the River Thames should be called to 
this subject, as well as to the number of passengers 
which are received on board these boats, until the 
sanction of Parliament shall have been obtained to 
such remedial measures as shall hereafter be deemed 
expedient. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table;

entitled to the concluding address, and that

the matters referred to them; and had come to 
several Resolutions, which they had directed him to 
report, together with the Minutes of the Evidence 
when before them: —And the Resolutions of the 
Committee were read, as follow : 


I.—Extent or Loss 1n Property anpD Lives 
aT Sega. 

1. Resolved, That the number of Ships and Ves- 
sels belonging to the United Kingdon, which were 
wrecked or lost in the periods specified below, 
appears, by a Return made to the Committee from 
the books at Lloyd’s, to be as follows :— 


Number of Vessels stranded or wrecked. 


1816 - - 343 18838 - - 595 
1817 - - 362 1884 - - 464 
1818 - - 409 1835 - - 524 

1,114 1,573 





Number of Vessels missing or lost. 





1816 - - 19 1833 - - 56 
1817 - - 40 1834 - - 48 
1818 - - 80 1835 - - 30 

89 129 








Making a total of 1,203 ships or vessels wrecked 

and missing in the first period of three years, and 

a total of 1,702 wrecked and missing in the second 
eriod of three years. 

That taking the number of vessels wrecked and 
lost in the two periods named above, at the as- 
sumed value of £.5,000 for each ship and cargo, 
on the average of the whole; the loss of pro- 
perty occasioned by these wrecks would amount 
in the first three years to £.6,015,000, being an 
average of £.2,005,000 per annum ; and in the last 
three years to £.8,510,000, being an average of 
£.2,836,666 per annum. 

That the number of ships in each of the years 
above specified, of which the entire crews were 
drowned, though the exact number of each crew 
is not stated, appears, by the same Return made to 
Your Committee, from the books of Lloyd’s, to have 
been as follows : 


Number of Vessels in each year, of which the entire 
Crews were drowned. 


1816 - - 15 1833 - - 38 


1817 - - WW 1834 - - 24 
1818 &lt;- - 15 1835 - - 19 
49 81 





Making a total of 49 in the first period of three 
years, and a total of 81 in the second period of three 
years. 

That the number of persons drowned in each of 
the years specified, in addition to the above, and 
of which the number drowned belonging to each 
vessel is distinctly known, appears, by the same 
Return from Lloyd’s books, to be as follows : 


Number of Persons drowned in each year by Ships 








named. 
1816 - - 945 1833 - - 572 
1817 - ~- 499 1834 - - 578 
1818 - - 256 1835 - - 564 
1,700 1,714 


That assuming the average number of persons 
in each of the vessels of which the entire crews 
were lost, to consist of 10 individuals, including 
officers, seamen and passengers, it would appear, 
that in the first three years the number of persons 
drowned were 588 in the 49 vessels whose crews 
were entirely lost, and 1,700 in the vessels of which 
the exact number of each was known, making a total 


15° Augusti. 811 


of 2,228 lives, or 763 per annum; and that in the 
last three years the number of persons drowned was 
972 in the 81 vessels whose crews were entirely lost, 
and 1,710 in the vessels of which the exact number 
in each was known, making a total of 2,682 lives, 
or 894 per annum. 

That among the special cases of loss by Ship- 
wreck on particular parts of the coast, it has been 
stated, that during the last four years 272 ships 
were lost belonging to the Port of Tyne, averaging 
68 vessels per annum; the whole number of ves- 
sels registered in that port being about 1,000 sail ; 
that these 272 vehioels measured 60,489 tons ; 
and assuming these to have been total losses, and 
the average value of the whole to be £.10 per ton, 
the loss of property from this single port would be 
£.604,890 in four years, or £.151,222 per annum, 
while the number of lives lost in these 272 vessels 
during the same period was 682; the number of 
widows and orphans left for relief 147; and the 
amount of money paid out of the funds of the Sea- 
man’s Association at Shields, for relief of members 
of that society only, amounted to £.1,935. 15. 9.; 
the ships employed from this port being principall 
colliers, which perform eight or nine voyages in ores 
year, and are continued in occupation during winter 
as wellas summer along a dangerous coast. 

That during a period of 16 months, from Ja- 
nuary 1, 1833, to May 1, 1834, the number of 
vessels reported in Lloyd’s books as missing or 
lost, and which have never since been heard of, 
amounted to 95 in number; and these ships being 
principally engaged in foreign voyages, the calcula- 
tion made on their value, and the number of their 
crews, including officers, seamen and passengers, 
assuming £.8,000 as the lowest average value of 
ship and cargo throughout, and 15 persons as the 
average number of persons on board the whole, 
gives a total loss in these missing ships only, within 
the short period of 16 months, of £.760,000 sterling 
in property, and 1,425 lives. 

That these results do not embrace the whole 
extent of loss in property or lives occasioned b 
Shipwrecks even among those vessels only which 
belong to the United Kingdom; inasmuch as 
these Returns include only the losses entered 
in Lloyd’s books, from which the Returns ad- 
verted to were made out ; whereas it is well known 
that many vessels and lives are lost by wreck or 
foundering at sea, of which no entry is made in 
Lloyd's books, and of which, as no record is kept, 
no Return can be produced. 

That the whole loss of property in British ship- 
ping wrecked or foundered at sea, may therefore 
be assumed as amounting to nearly Three millions 
sterling per annum; the value of which property, 
though covered by insurance to certain parties, 
is not the less absolutely lost to the nation, and its 
cost paid for by the British public, on whom its loss 
must ultimately fall. 

That the annual loss of life, occasioned by the 
wreck or foundering of British vessels at sea, 
may, on the same grounds, be fairly estimated 
at not less than One thousand persons in each 
year, which loss is also attended with increased 
pecuniary burthens to the British public, on whom 
the support of many of the widows and orphans 
left destitute by such losses must ultimately fall. 


Il.—PrincipaL Causes or SHIPWRECK. 


2. Resolved, That among the various causes of 
Shipwreck, which appear susceptible of removal or 
diminution, the following appear to be the most 
frequent and the most generally admitted :— 

; Defective construction of Ships. 

Inadequacy of equipment. 

Imperfect state of repair. 

Improper or excessive loading. 
Inappropriateness of form. 
Incompetency of masters and officers.

Construction of Ships. 


‘That the defective construction of ships appears 
to have been greatly encouraged by the system 
of classification, which from the year 1798 up 
to the year 1834 was followed at Lloyd's, by 
which the age of a vessel and the port at whic 
she was built were made the chief tests of her 
strength and safety; and by which all new vessels, 
however slightly constructed, were entitled to be 
registered in the First Class for a given number of 
years, varying from six to twelve, after which, the 
strongest ships were placed on a level with the 
weakest, being excluded from the First Class when 
the prescribed period of years had expired ; the ten- 
dency of this system of classification being to induce 
shipowners to build their ships in the cheapest man- 
ner, and with the least degree of strength that was 
sufficient to sustain their vessels through the shortest 
air named, (some having foundered and others 

aving gone to pieces on their first voyage,) after 
which period their value would be greatly reduced 
by their exclusion from the First Class. 

Equipment, Repair and Loading. 

That the frequent replacing of such vessels as 
had thus passed into the Second Class, by building 
new ones to occupy their stations in the First 
Class, led to an increased supply in the num- 
ber of new ships beyond the healthy or profitable 
demand for them ; while the vessels which had run 
out the short term prescribed for their continuance 
in the First Class, being sold at very reduced prices, 
and the purchasers having no inducement to put 
them in an efficient state of repair—since no amount 
of reparation would restore them to their original 
position—such vessels were navigated ona less ca- 
pital and at less freight than others, and by thus 
competing on lower terms with the already super- 
abundant number of ships afloat, contributed to pro- 
duce such general depression of freights and profits, 
as to compel the most rigid economy in the outfit 
and expenses of shipping generally, and the greatest 
efforts to make a moderate interest on the capital 
employed, which too frequently led to the inadequacy 
of equipment, the imperfect state of repair, and the 
improper and excessive loading enumerated among 
the causes of Shipwreck. 

Foreign Competition. 

That in addition to this operation of severe 
competition among different classes of shipping 
belonging to the United Kingdom, the British 
shipowner had also to meet the competition of 
foreigners, in the ships of Continental Europe, who, 
from the many advantages enjoyed by them in the 
superior cheapness of their materials for building, 
equipping, and provisioning their vessels, and the 
lower rate of wages paid to their crews, were en- 
abled to realize profitson terms of freight which would 
not even cover the expenses of British ships. 


Forms of Ships. 


That the inappropriateness of form in British 
nerchant vessels, which often incapacitates them 
from beating off a lee shore, a consequently 
leads to their being wrecked, has been partly 
the result of the nature of British maritime 
trade, and partly of the defective systems of mea- 
surement, and the heavy tonnage duties formerly 
levied on British ships ; many vessels being neces- 
sarily constructed of a flat form of bottom to adapt 
them to the shoal harbours of England, and enable 
them to lie in safety while aground; but though 
these last are causes which no system of fiscal regu- 
lations could remove, yet it is established and ad- 
mitted that the system of admeasurement and 





15° Augustz. 








A. 1836. 


heavy tonnage duties which formerly existed, pre- 
sented a strong inducement to shipowners to build 
their ships of such forms and dimensions as should 
unite a small nominal tonnage by admeasurement 
with a large actual capacity for carrying a cargo 
considerably above the tonnage at which she sight 
be registered ; which united qualities could only be 
obtained at the sacrifice of speed, buoyancy, cele- 
rity of evolution, and consequent incompetency to 
escape from the dangers of a lee shore. 


Classification of Ships. 


That the system of classification has been very 
greatly improved by the formation of a new as- 
sociation, intituled, “ Lloyd’s Register Society for 
British and Foreign Shipping,” the basis of whose 
regulations appears to be a bond fide attempt 
to classify vessels according to their real and 
intrinsic merits, including their age, construction, 
materials, workmanship and stores; but though 
there is good reason to believe that the ultimate re- 
sult of this new system of classification will be to 
effect a great improvement in the general character 
of the ships of the United Kingdom; yet this So- 
ciety possesses no authority, beyond that of any other 
private association, to enforce the observance of 
such rules as may be necessary to secure the great- 
est degree of strength and safety desirable to be 
attained in merchant ships. 


Admeasurement of Tonnage. 


That though the system of admeasurement, as 
recently changed, may define with sufficient ac- 
curacy the cubic space of the ship’s hold, it is 
a problem well worthy of attention to discover 
some method that shall fix the admeasurement of 
tonnage at the actual amount of dead weight which 
a ship can carry without sinking, a fixed proportion 
of which might be deemed the registered tonnage ; 
in order to remove every inducement to build ships 
of inappropriate forms, with a view to lessen their 
tonnage duty. 


Incompetency of Masters and Officers. 


That the frequent incompetency of masters and 
officers appears to be admitted on all hands, this 
incompetency sometimes arising from the want 
of skill and knowledge in seamanship, but more 
frequently from the want of an adequate knowledge 
of navigation; it. being proved that some mas- 
ters of merchant vessels have been appointed to com- 
mand after having been for a very short time at sea ; 
that others have hardly known how to trace a ship’s 
course-on the chart, or how to ascertain the latitude 
by a meridian altitude of the sun; that many are 
unacquainted with the use of the chronometer, and 
that very few indeed are competent to ascertain the 
longitude by lunar observations; while some are 
appointed to command merchant vessels at periods 
of such extreme youth, (one instance is given of a 
boy of 14, all of whose apprentices were older than 
himself,) and others so wholly destitute of maritime 
experience, (another instance being given of a por- 
ter from a shipowner’s warehouse who was made a 
captain of one of his ships,) that vessels have been 
met with at sea who were out of their reckoning by 
several hundreds of miles, and others have been 
wrecked on coasts from which they believed them- 
selves to have been hundreds of miles distant at the 
time. 


Drunkenness and use of Spirits. 


That drunkenness, either in the masters, offi- 
cers, or men, is a frequent cause of ships being 
wrecked, leading often to improper and contradic- 
tory orders and directions on the part of the 
officers; sleeping on the look-out or at the 
helm among the men; occasioning ships to run 
foul of each other at night, and one or both foun- 
dering; to vessels bemg taken aback or over- 
powered by sudden squalls, and sinking, upsetting, 
or 


6-7 Witt. IV. 


or getting dismasted, for want of timely vigilance in 
preparing for the danger ; and to the steering wrong 
courses, so as to run upon dangers which might have 
otherwise been avoided. 

That the practice of taking large quantities of 
ardent spirits as part of the stores of ships, whether 
in the Navy or in the Merchant Service, and the 
habitual use of such spirits, even when diluted with 
water, and in what is ordinarily considered the 
moderate quantity served. to each man at sea, is 
itself a very frequent cause of the loss of ships 
and crews; ships frequently taking fire from the 
drawing off of spirits, which are always kept under 
hold ; crews frequently getting access to the spirit 
casks, and becoming intoxicated; and almost all 
the cases of insubordination, insolence, disobedience 
of orders, and refusal to do duty, as well as the 
confinements and punishments enforced as cor- 
rectives, both of which must for the time greatly 
lessen the efficiency of the crews, being clearly 
traceable to the intoxicating influence of the spirits 
nsed by the officers and men. 


Experiments in American Vessels. 


That the happiest effects have resulted. from the 
experiments tried in the American Navy and Mer- 
chant Service to do without spirituous liquors as an 
habitual article of daily use; there being at present 
more than 1,000 sail of American vessels traversing 
all the seas of the world, in every climate, without 
the use of spirits by their officers or crews, and 
being, in consequence of this change, in so much 
greater a state of efficiency and safety than other 
vessels not adopting this regulation, that the Public 
Insurance Companies in America make a return of 
five per cent. of the premium of insurance on. vessels 
completing their voyages without the use of spirits ; 
while the examples of British ships sailing from 
Liverpool on the same plan have been productive 
of the greatest benefit to the shipowners, under- 
writers, merchants, officers and crews. 


Marine Insurance. 


That the system of Marine Insurance, though 
affording the means of protecting individuals from 
excessive loss, has nevertheless a tendency, by trans- 
ferring the pecuniary responsibility for such losses, 
from the owners of ships to the underwriters who 
insure them, to induce less care in the construction 
of ships, less efficiency in their equipment, and 
less security for their adequate management at 
sea; inasmuch as the risk of such loss to the 
shipowners, can be covered by a fixed premium 
of insurance, which, being charged on the freight, 
and then re-charged on the goods conveyed, fixes 
the real responsibility and real loss ultimately on 
the public; as all the parties actually engaged in 
the transaction can secure themselves from any 
= in such loss by the aid of Marine 

nsurance. 


Harbours of Refuge. 


That there are many portions of the coast of 
Great Britain in which the want of Harbours of 
Refuge has led to the loss of many vessels that 
might have been easily saved had such harbours 
existed ; of which the two following instances ma 
be named :—In three different gales of wind hich 
occurred in the years 1821, 1824 and 1829, there 
were lost on the east coast of England, between the 
Humber and the Tees, 169 vessels, of which 73 were 
wrecked on the rocks of Redcar, where peculiar 
facilities exist for constructing a Harbour of Refuge, 
by which the loss of nearly all these vessels might 
have been avoided. In the present year, 1836, no 
less than 39 vessels were seen on shore in Holyhead 
Bay at one time, 20 of which were totally lost with 
all. their crews on board; and within the same 
period many vessels have been wrecked between 
Holyhead and Liverpool, where an excellent position 
exists for forming a Harbour of Refuge between the 

Vou. 91. 


15° Auguste 4 





813 


Great and Little Orme’s Head, near the entrance 
of the River Dee, at which, had such a harbour 
been formed, the greater number of these vessels 


‘might have been saved. 


Imperfection af Charts. 


That the imperfection of charts is more parti- 
cularly the cause of shipwreck in the newly opened 
regions of the Eastern Archipelago and the China 
seas, where, notwithstanding the highly valuable 
labours of the East India Company’s maritime 
officers, and the zealous perseverance and ability 
of their distinguished hydrographer, the late Cap- 
tain Horsburgh, whose directory and charts of the 
Eastern seas have been invaluable safeguards to 
life and property in those regions, there yet remains 
much to be achieved towards obtaining correct 
nautical surveys of the islands and coasts. 


III.—REMEDIES PROPOSED OR SUGGESTED. 


Mercantile Marine Board. 


3. Resolved, That it is a matter of the first 
importance to authorize, by enactment, the forma- 
tion in London of a Mercantile Marine Board, to 
direct, superintend and regulate the affairs of the 
Mercantile Marine of the United Kingdom, on such 
a plan of organization and control as shall unite a 
due regard to the private interests of the shipowners, 
merchants and underwriters, whose individual pro- 
perty may be. embarked therein, with an equal 
attention to the public interests in the preservation 
of the national capital from destruction at sea; and, 
above all, in securing as far as possible the safety of 
the lives of those who may be engaged in navigating 
the ships and conducting the maritime commerce 
of the country. 


That this Mercantile Marine Board should be so 
constituted as to embrace a competent number of 
experienced officers of the Royal Navy, and masters 
in the Merchant Service, united with experienced 
shipowners and shipbuilders, ‘assisted by a skilful 
hydrographer, a professor of nautical astronomy 
and navigation, and one or more men of eminence 
in the legal profession, the election of such mem- 
bers to be vested, in certain proportions, in the 
Admiralty, the Trinity Board, and the Shipowners, 
and to be irremovable from office, except by the 
concurrence of the ‘three bodies named ; and that 
to such a Board should be entrusted the power to 
carry into effect, both in London and the outports, 
under the sanction and authority of Parliament, the 
following primary objects : 


Code of Maritime Law. 


The compilation and consolidation of a Code of 
Maritime Law, embracing so much of the existing 
common and statute law of the realm as should 
appear to the Board to be most important to be 
adopted and made generally known ; adding thereto 
such other provisions as might seem necessary to 
the completion of such a Code as should clearly 
and accurately define the relative duties and obliga- 
tions of shipowners, officers and seamen; with a 
view to supply the remarkable defect under which 
Great Britain now labours, in being almost the 
only maritime country of the world in which no 
se | special code of maritime law exists. 


Nautical Improvement. 


The promotion and encouragement of Nautical 
Improvement, by receiving, examining and report- 
ing upon plans presented to them for that purpose, 
whether in science, art or discipline, embracing 
therefore subjects connected with nautical astro- 
nomy and navigation, hydrography and surveying, 
naval architecture, seamanship, rigging, stowage, 
sailing, regulation of crews and other matters con- 
ducive to the improvement of British ships and 
British seamen. 

5L3 The 





814. 


Classification of Ships. 


The perfecting a system of Classification of Ships, 
to the utmost attainable point of accurately defining, 
by such classification, the real state and condition 
of every ship registered. 

Building, Surveying and Equipment. 

The collection of information as to the best me- 
thods for building, surveying, fitting out, equipping, 
loading and furnishing with the requisite supply of 
men, provisions, water and boats, all ships built and 
registered in the United Kingdom ; and the sugges- 
tion of the best means of giving practical efficiency 
to the information thus acquired. 


Examination of Officers. 


The formation of certam standards of qualifica- 
tion in seamanshp and navigation, to be attained 
by officers before they should receive licenses of ap- 
pointment to particular grades in the Merchant 
Service ; and certain higher standards of qualifica- 
tion in seamanship, navigation and nautical astro- 
nomy, to be attained by masters before they should 
be entitled to receive licenses of appointment to the 
command of vessels of different classes and for dif- 
ferent voyages. 

The appointment of examiners in seamanship, 
navigation, and nautical astronomy, for the public 
examination of all candidates for appointment as 
officers. or commanders, with power to remand all 
who should be deficient in the requisite degree of 
knowledge for the class to which the candidate 
might aspire, and with a power also to grant li- 
censes to officers of superior skill and knowledge, 
authorizing each class to wear a uniform, as was 
done in the late mercantile marine of the East 
India Company, differing from the uniform of the 
Navy, but at the same time sufficiently marked for 
the purpose of distinguishing the persons wearing it 
as passed officers of the Merchant Service. 


Savings Banks and Asylums. 


The preservation of the health, strength and 
moral character of seamen, which are material ele- 
ments in the efficiency of ships’ crews, and tend 
to lessen the risk of Shipwrecks, by the establish- 
ment of Savings Banks for the wages of seamen, 
and Asylums for the reception of the men and their 
effects, either im ships to be moored afloat, adapted 
to their reception, or in buildings erected on shore ; 
for the purpose of saving these seamen, as far as 
may be found practicable, from the misery and 
degradation into which they are so constantly 
plunged almost immediately after their return from 
sea, when, being made intoxicated, and sometimes 
stupified by drugs, they are robbed and plundered by 
crimps who make them their victims, and who hold 
them in actual bondage till all their wages are 
drained from them, when they are often taken in 
a state of intoxication to a ship, of the officers and 
crew of which they know nothing; and their 
advance of wages, instead of being applied to the 
purchase of an outfit for the voyage, is seized by 
their original betrayer for a real or pretended debt 
incurred while in his custody. 


Registry Offices. 

The formation of Registry Offices for merchant 
seamen, at which certificates of the name, age, 
capacity and character of every seaman (which, by 
the late Act for the Registration of British Sea- 
men, must be granted to all seamen demanding the 
same from their commanders at the time of their 
discharge,) may be deposited and recorded in a re- 
gister book to be kept for that purpose; such 
Registry Offices to be bound to furnish, free of 
expense, authenticated copies of such certificates of 
character to all seamen applying for the same ; in 
order to afford the requisite facility for the selection 
of the best men; and to furnish inducements to 
commanders to engage at early periods of the ves- 





15° Auguste. 





A. 1836. 


sel’s fitting out, the actual crews by which their 
ships are to be manned for the voyage. 


Nautical Schools. 


The establishment of cheap Nautical Schools, 
either in ships afloat adapted to the purpose, or in 
appropriate buildings on shore, in which the prac- 
tical duties of seamanship and the elements of na- 
vigation should be taught to the young apprentices 
who are training up for the sea; and in which, 
under proper directions, some attention should be 
paid to their habits of cleanliness, order and sobriety, 
and the preservation of their moral characters, all of 
which are at present unhappily neglected. 


Courts of Inquiry. 


The arrangement of a plan for the institution of 
Courts of [Inquiry to examine into the circumstances 
of every Shipwreck that occurs, as far as may be 
practicable, with power to pronounce a verdict of 
censure on the owners or commanders of all those 
vessels where the result of the inquiry should esta- 
blish the fact of such wreck being occasioned by 
any fault or deficiency on the part of either, as 
well as to acquit honourably the owner and com- 
manders of those ships against whom no fault 
could be proved, and to make the evidence and 
verdict in each case public in every port of the 
Kingdom; with further power to suspend, for a 
given time, the licenses or certificates of such 
officers and seamen as should be proved guilty of 
gross incompetency or gross neglect of duty; and 
to reward, either by re-imbursement of their loss of 
wages and effects, or by gratuities, or medals of 
honour and distinction, those officers and men who 
should have particularly distinguished themselves 
by their skill, courage or humanity in preserving the 
lives and property of others, whether actually be- 
longing to the ships that were wrecked, or coming 
to their assistance from other vessels or from the 
shore. 

Settlement of Disputes. 


The formation of Special Tribunals for the cheap, 
speedy and open trial and adjudication of all ques- 
tions arising between shipowners, officers and men, 
relating to claims for wages, breaches of disci- 
pline, and such other matters of dispute as might 
be fitly submitted to summary jurisdiction; in 
order to avoid the great delay, expense and un- 
certainty attending such trials in the ordinary courts 
of law and police, as at present constituted, the 
effect of which is often sufficient to deter parties 
from seeking redress, and thus to defeat the ends 
of justice, equally to shipowners, officers and sea- 
men. 

Funds from Fees. 

That the funds for the support of the Mercantile 
Marine Board in London, and its auxiliary esta- 
blishments at the principal out-ports, might be 
raised by the payment. of moderate fees on the re- 
gistration of ships, and on the granting of licenses 
and certificates to officers and commanders, aided 
by such contributions from the public revenue as the 
institution might require. 


Assistance of Government. 


That while the Marine Board should be engaged 
in carrying out the principles and accomplishing the 
objects hereinbefore enumerated, there appear to 
this Committee to be others well worthy the atten- 
tion of the Government, by the promotion of which 
they can render material assistance towards the im- 
provement of British ships, and the relief of British 
seamen, more especially the following : 


Reduction of Duties. 


The gradual reduction of all the duties, imposts 
and taxes which press in the first instance on 
shipping, and which tend to enhance the cost of 
their building, equipment and navigation; so as to 





enable 











6-7 Witt. IV. 


enable them the better to meet the severe compe- 
tition to which they are now subject with the ships 
of other nations. 


Diminished Use of Spirituous Liquors. 


The encouragement, in His Majesty’s Navy, of 
the system, so happily followed both in the ships 
of war and merchant vessels of America, and in 
some instances in the merchant ships of England 
with the best results in every case, of discontinu- 
ing the daily supply of spirits to the seamen as an 
article of necessary use, and substituting the more 
nutritious and wholesome beverages of coffee, cocoa, 
chocolate or tea; so as to restrict the quantity of 
spirits supplied as stores to the amount required for 
special and urgent occasions, to be served under the 
direction of the commander and medical officer of 
each ship, and at such periods only as they might 
deem necessary. 


Loading and Provisions. 


The prevention, by such means as may be deemed 
most efficient, of the practice of carrying any por- 
tion of the ship’s cargoes on deck, by which vessels 
are frequently upset and water-logged or sunk ; and 
the securing the reservation of an adequate portion 
of the provisions and water for the crew, to be kept 
in some part of the vessel that shall be accessible in 
such cases of peril, to prevent the dreadful scenes of 
hunger, misery and lingering death, to which so 
many are subjected every year, for the want of 
some such securities as those proposed. 


International Negociations. 


The opening a negociation with all the maritime 
powers of the world with which Great Britain has 
either political or commercial relations, in order to 
effect, if possible, a comprehensive treaty with each 
and all of them, to use their best endeavours for 
the preservation of the lives and property of those 
who may have the misfortune to be wrecked on their 
shores, first securing the lives, and affording sus- 
tenance, shelter and protection to the persons, of 
those who may be cast upon their coasts, and then 
disposing to the greatest advantage of the property 
saved, holding the proceeds for a given period at the 
command of the lawful claimants, if any should 
appear ; and after such period, should no claimants 
apply, transferring the amount to a Shipwreck Fund, 
out of which to defray the expenses incurred in the 
preservation of life and property saved on their 
coasts ; in order to supersede, if possible, the pre- 
sent barbarous practice of plundering the ships and 
men thrown by misfortune on dangerous shores, as 
well as to transfer the proceeds of such wrecks from 
the funds of the droits of the Admiralty and lords 
of the manor to a fund for the relief of shipwrecked 
mariners, and the restitution to its lawful owners of 
shipwrecked property. 


Plans and Models. 


That among the various plans and models of 
proposed improvements in the construction of ves- 
sels, which have been submitted to the Committee, 
there appear to be none more worthy of serious 
attention than those which show the great superio- 
rity, in strength and powers of resistance, of the 
solid bottoms for ships, as evidenced in the case of 
His Majesty’s ship Pique, over the ordinary me- 
thod of construction in merchant vessels, by which 
open spaces are left between every pair of timbers. 
They conceive, also, that the apparatus of Captain 
Manby, for conveying a rope communication from 
shore to the ship, in cases of wreck, and the appa- 
ratus of Mr. Trengrouse, for conveying a rope com- 





15° Augusto. 815 


American Shipping. 

That the Committee cannot conclude its labours 
without calling attention to the fact, that the ships 
of the United States of America, frequenting the 
ports of England, are stated by several witnesses 
to be superior to those of a similar class amongst 
the ships of Great Britain, the commanders and 
officers being generally considered to be more com- 
— as seamen and navigators, and more uni- 
ormly persons of education than the commanders 
and officers of British ships of a similar size and 
class trading from England to America ; while the 
seamen of the United States are considered to 
be more carefully selected, and to be more efficient ; 
that American ships sailing from Liverpool to New 
York have a preference over English vessels sail- 
ing to the same port, both as to freight and to 
rate of insurance; and, higher wages being given, 
their whole equipment is maintained in a higher 
state of perfection, so that fewer losses occur; and 
as the American shipping have increased of late 
years in the proportion of 12 3 per cent. per annum, 
while the British shipping have increased within 
the same period only 14 per cent. per annum. the 
constantly increasing demand for seamen by the 
increasing maritime commerce of the whole world, 
the numbers cut off by shipwreck, and the tempta- 
tions offered by the superior wages of American 
vessels, cause a large number of British seamen 
every year to leave the service of their own country, 
and to embark in that of the United States, and 
these comprising chiefly the most skilful and com- 
petent of our mariners, produce the double effect of 
improving the efficiency of American crews, and in 
the same ratio diminishing the efficiency of the 
British Merchant Service. 


Legislative Enactments. 


That it is therefore the opinion of this Com- 
mittee that the earliest opportunity should be taken, 
in the next Session of Parliament, to call the at- 
tention of the Legislature to the present state of 
British ships and British seamen, with a view to 
the introduction of such enactments as may be best 
calculated to elevate and improve the general cha- 
racter of the British Mercantile Marine, and to 
place it in such a state of safety and efficiency, as to 
make its ships the most perfect structures that art 
and science can form, its officers the most distin- 
guished for their competency and their skill, and 
its seamen as respectable in character, and as happ 
in the enjoyment of adequate remuneration for their 
toils, as their devotion to their country in war, and 
their services to commerce in peace, so justly entitle 
them to expect.

day of September, in the last Session of Parliament,

follow : 

“ Whilst your Committee agree with the Com- 
mittee of 1833, and have elsewhere recommended 
that no officer of the House be allowed in future to 
conduct any private business as Agent for Private 
Bills, or as Agent at Election Committees, it appears 
desirable that Agents so employed should be in 
some degree answerable to the Speaker and to the 
Clerk of the House for correct conduct, and for 
their observance of the Rules and Orders of the 
House; but your Committee are of opinion, that 
evil instead of good would accrue to the community 
if any thing approaching to a monopoly or restriction 
of the number of Agents, should be produced under 
the recommendation they have offered. 

“ It has been represented to your Committee, that 
considerable arrears of the Fees of the House exist 
at times, chiefly from Agents not belonging to the 
House ; and your Committee suggest that no Agent 
should be allowed to proceed with any new Bill or 
Petition until the Fees incurred and due to the 
House on the Bills and Petitions he may have pre- 
viously conducted shall be paid.” 

Resolved, That this House doth agree with the 
Committee in their opinion, as regards Agents con- 
ducting or attending on the Private Business of this 
House; and that Mr. Speaker be requested to prepare 
and publish such Regulations as he may think best 
calculated to accomplish the object of the Com- 
mittee. 


The House was moved, That the seventh and tenth Private Bills. 


of the Resolutions which, upon the 30th day of July 
1834, were reported from the Select Committee on 
Private Bills, might be read; and the same were 
read, as follow: 

“7, Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That the House Copy may be dispensed 
with. 

“10. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Com- 
mittee, That an alteration should take place in the 
present system of blanking Bills.” 


1. Resolved, That, it being required by the Stand- 
ing Orders of this House, that all Private Bills, 
except Naturalization and Name Bills, be ee. 
and printed copies thereof delivered to the Members

tinue the practice of presenting a manuscript copy 
of Bills required to be printed. 

2. Resolved, That, in lieu of such manuscript Copy, 
a Bill printed on large paper, of a size to be deter- 
mined upon by Mr. Speaker, be presented to the 
House, with a cover of parchment attached to it, 
upon which the Title of the Bill is to be written. 

3. Resolved, That five Copies of the Bill, printed 
on paper of the same size, and interleaved with blank 
paper, be deposited at the Private Bill Office, for 
the use of the Committee on the Bill, and for the 
Report.

over; and they went to the Conference :—And being 
returned ; 

Mr, Ewart reported, That the Managers had been 
at the Conference, which was managed on the part of 
the Lords by the Earl of Rosslyn; and that the 
Lords insist upon their Amendment in Pr. 1. 1.19. 
to which the Commons have disagreed, and dis- 
agree to the Amendments proposed by the Commons, 
for the following Reasons : 

Because, although the Lords have considered it 
just and reasonable to put an end to the ano- 
maly in the practice of the Criminal Courts of 
England, by which the counsel for a prisoner 
charged with felony is restrained from address- 
ing the juryon his behalf; yet they donotthink 
it proper, until they have had some experience 
as to the manner in which this measure will 
operate to adopt as incidental to it, the further 
alteration proposed by the Commons. 

Because the proposed alteration would, if 
adopted, be at variance with the practice in 
prosecutions for high treason and misprision 
of treason, and to the analogous practice in 
all civil proceedings. 

Ordered, That the said Reasons be taken into 

nsideration-upon Friday next.

Houses of Parliament, as followeth: 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


The state of the Public Business enables Me at 
length to relieve you from further attendance in 
Parliament; and in terminating your labours, 
I have again to acknowledge the zeal with which 
you have applied yourselves to the Public Business, 
and the attention which you have bestowed upon the 
important subjects which I brought under your con- 
sideration at the.opening of the Session. 

The assurances of friendly dispositions which 
I receive from all Foreign Powers enable Me to con- 
gratulate you upon the prospect that Peace will 
continue undisturbed. 

T lament deeply that the internal state of Spain 
still renders that country the only exception to the 
general tranquillity of Europe; and I regret that the 
hopes which have been entertained of the termination 
of the Civil War have not hitherto been realized. In 
fulfilment of the engagements which I contracted 
by the Treaty of Quadruple Alliance, I have afforded 
to the Queen of Spain the co-operation of a part of 
My Naval Force, and I continue to look with un- 
abated solicitude to the restoration of that internal 
Peace in Spain which was one of the main objects 
of the Quadruple Treaty, and which is so essential 
to the interests of all Europe. 

I am happy to be able to inform you, that My en- 
deavours to remove the misunderstanding which had 
arisen between France and the United States have 
been crowned with complete success. The good 
offices which for that purpose I tendered to the two 
Governments, were accepted by both in the most 
frank and conciliatory spirit; and the relations of 
friendship have been re-established between them in 
a manner satisfactory and honourable to both parties. 
I trust that this circumstance will tend to draw still 
closer the ties which connect this Country with two 
great and friendly Nations. 

I have regarded with interest your deliberations 
upon the Reports of the Commission appointed to 
consider the state of the Dioceses in England and 
Wales; and I have cheerfully given My assent to 
the measures which have been presented to Me for 
carrying into effect some of their most important re- 
commendations. 

It is with no ordinary satisfaction that I have 
learned that you have with great labour brought to 
maturity enactments upon the difficult subject of 
Tithe of England and Wales, which will, | trust, 
prove in their operation equitable to all the interests 
concerned, and generally beneficial in their results. 

The passing of the Acts for Civil Registration and 
for Marriages in England, has afforded Me much 
satisfaction. Their provisions have been framed 
— those large principles of religious freedom, 
which, with a due regard to the welfare ‘of the 
Established Church in this country, I have always 
been desirous of maintaining and promoting; and

ment will encourage this good disposition, and 
enable that Country to develope her great natural 
resources. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I thank you for the liberality with which you have 
voted, not only the ordinary Supplies of the year, but 
the additional sums required to provide for an in- 
crease in My Naval Force. 

I am also gratified to perceive that you have made 
provision for the full amount of the Compensation 
awarded to the Owners of Slaves in My Colonial 
Possessions, and that the obligations entered .into 
by the Legislature have thus been strictly fulfilled. 

The increased productiveness of the Public Re- 
venue has enabled you to meet these charges, and 
at the same time to repeal or reduce Taxes, of which 
some were injurious in their effects upon My People, 
and others unequal in their pressure upon various 
parts of My Dominions abroad. 

The present condition of Manufactures and Com- 
merce affords a subject of congratulation, provided 
the activity which prevails be guided by that caution 
and prudence which experience has proved to be 
necessary to stable prosperity. 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


The advanced period of the year, and the length 
of time during which you have been engaged in 
public affairs, must render you desirous of returning 
to your respective counties. You will there resume 
those duties which are in importance inferior only to 
your legislative functions ; and your influence and 
example will greatly conduce to the maintenance of 
tranquillity, the encouragement of industry, and the 
confirmation of those moral and religious habits and 
principles which are essential to the well-being of 
every community. 


Then the Lord Chancellor, by His Majesty’s 
command, said, 


My Lords and Gentlemen, 


It is His Majesty’s Royal will and pleasure, that 
this Parliament be prorogued to Thursday, the 
Twentieth day of October next, to be then here 
holden; and this Parliament is accordingly pro- 
rogued to Thursday, the Twentieth day of October 
next.
