Lord Templebrought up a petition from Mr. Lyon, the agent for the island of Jamaica, against the bill to prevent the Importation of Slaves into such of our colonies and settlements in the West Indies, as have been surrendered to his majesty during the present war. His lordship said, that the petition had been put into his hands, and he therefore thought it adviseable to present it; but he begged it to be understood, that in so doing, he did not pledge himself at all on the subject matter of it. The petition was ordered to lie on the table till the second reading of the bill, and that the petitioners should be heard, by counsel, against the said bill, if they thought fit.—Mr. Mitford, from the exchequer in Scotland, presented an account of Grants made out of forfeited Estates in Scotland, and the Balances due out of the same. Also, an account of all Malt chargeable with duty in Scotland.—On the motion of Mr. Vansittart, the house resolved into a Committee of Supply, in which the usual Annual Votes for Miscellaneous Services were agreed to.—The house having resolved into a Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Vansittart, with a view to the object of which he had given notice yesterday, namely, that of making a proportionate Addition to the Duty upon East and West India Sugar, moved, that an additional Duty of 1s. per cwt. should be imposed upon East-India Sugar imported. And also, that upon the exportation of the same, a drawback should be allowed of, equal amount.
