Agreed to.—Col. Stanley moved for a copy of the memorial presented to the privy council by John Duke of Athol.—Mr. Curwen rose to move for several additional papers relative to the Duke of Athol, and wished for the production of copies of all the papers of the proceedings relative to the compensation granted at the time of the sale to Government, in 1766. Mr. Rose observed, that the most regular way of proceeding would have been for the hon. gent. to have given previous notice of his motions. The speaker having acquainted the hon. member that this would have been more conformable to the rules observed by the house, Mr. Curwen named to-morrow.—Mr. Foster brought up the Irish Spirit Permit Duty bill and the Irish Small Note Restriction bill.
