When the clause re444oßiriting a Court, and a ,f edge to preside therein, fur the perp.i+s,e of deciding ou the cases of the several' Insolvent pelg4r4 who shall claim the benefit of the *id Act', Isere rose, and after stating that our system of ju risprudence was long in whit of such an additiOn . to it, as this now produced by the-Noble and .I.Arerned Lord (Redesdale) to whom; Il e said, - that both Creditors and Debtors aught to Seel and icknesrileclge their gratitude observed, that one person Wt 00% not ,he Sulicieur to perform the heavy and arduous duties iybiely :tins would necessarily crease. In his judgment there -should -he three tompetent persona selected and appointed for the Purposes of the. Act, which would then render appeal to other judges wholly unnecessary. His Lordship noticed the nlaus'erwfiieli directed the oaths to be.taken by Debtors on sur- Tenderilg their property and delivering in their schedules, con tending that it would be snich better to have them examined (ratii tMiel:ing , their schedules, rather than allowing them tor deliver itrthe schedule, and then attest the truth of them attow.ards ipm oath. ' • PfdlkliDSSDA X E replied, that he had considered the obser vations iitisleiby the Noble Earl with attention, and iNhad also revolyedintis mind, long previous to the Introduction of the 141, the'qesession whether one or more . hedges should 'sit in the infendedcourt; aunt alter the best advice that he could obtain fronfthose most capable of giving it, he found that the Judge • vr-s infinitely prefirable to a great number, as, in truth, he would have little flee to advert to, or to adjucate, these mere yiyittersof Net.. H i s Lordship urged a variety of remarks on ether parts Of the Bill; as did Lord Holland, the Marquis of Landsdowne, and 14e Lord Chancellor, and. the W.I went thsou4li the Comm:Wee. • .• • 4: 1 , 1 e %egOtt Wag ordered to be received, and 4e *Mouse :ry.

On the question being put, The Earl oT LIVER rdol. objected to it, on the ground that it was whoßy..unnecessary, because no grievance had been proved to exist front the law on that hirad prevailing as it did, but es pecially as it is a well known fact, that neither compulsion or yet - prevention was exercised towards either the Catholic' or the Dissenting soldier throughout the whole army. His Lordship also added, that on the contrary, when an illustrious person age, then sitting near him (his Royal Highness the 'Duke of York), Was in power, and held a high situation in the controul of the army, he directed general orders to issue, allowing the Catholic soldier the indulgence which was now sought by the clause aubmitted by the Noble Earl, and the practice has ever since preVailed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNa then urged, that as it was allowed to be the practice, there could be nu sound reason why it should not also have the sanction of law. Earls SPENCER and ROSSLYN spoke to the same effect, and Lord I..avraroot-replied. The House then divided, Contents 11 —Non Contents 22—Lost by a majority of 11. The other clauses were severally agreed to, and the Report was ordered.—Adjourned. • -HOUSE OF COMMONS. . 'Crib' to MONDAY, MARC!! 11.

The Syealy.tr having left the Chair, Mr: PER CEVAL rose and observed, that in xibmitting to the Committee the result of the Inquiry iiitu the state of Commer cial Credit, and in proposing the adoption of the measure recom mended by the Committee up stain, he was perfectly. ready to admit that, as a general principle, Parliamentary interference in these cases was to be avoided, such interference would bt Mischievous in many respects; .the hope of relief would. dimi nish the - caution of the merchants ; the, apprehension of misfor tune would be weakened; which at present, •was certainly not stronger than it ought to he—and thus the checks upon impro vident speculation wonld in some measare be removed.
