The house met at ten o'clock, pursuant to order, for the purpose of proceeding to Westminster-hall to prosecute the trial of lord Melville. The managers left the house first, and repaired to the place assigned them in the court, after which the members went out according to the alphabetical order of their several counties, beginning with the English counties and ending with those of Ireland. About four o'clock the house returned to its ordinary place of meeting, for the dispatch of business, as usual.—A message from the lords announced their assent to the Irish Bank Note bill, the Exchequer Bills bill, the Tea Duty bill, and the Irish Hearth Duty Repealing bill; and also that the lords had determined to proceed further in the trial of lord Melville the next morning at ten of the clock. The Speaker then took this opportunity of stating that he would, as he had done that day, attend punctually at ten o'clock the next day; that at a quarter past ten the serjeant at 955 arms would be sent to clear the passages, and that at half past ten, the manager would go forth.—Lord H. Petty reminded the house, that he had given notice of motion on Friday, for leave to bring in bill for the better regulation of the office of receiver-general of customs, and took this opportunity of giving notice, that he should on the same day move for leave to bring in bills for better regulating the offices of receivers-general of excise, of stamps, and of the post-office, and the office of surveyor-general of woods and forests.—Mr. Meheux presented the Furruckabad papers moved for by Mr. Paull. Mr. Paull moved that they should be printed, and, at the same time, begged the house to observe the small bulk of those papers which had been represented as so voluminous. Mr. Creevey said, that the hon. gent. was under a mistake, as the Furruckabad papers had not been represented as very voluminous, though the papers relating to some of the other places had undoubtedly been so represented. Mr. Paull was proceeding to defend the correctness of his statement, when he was called to order. He then said that he was the only person who was kept to such strict order on these subjects; upon which the Speaker appealed to the house whether he deserved the imputation now cast upon him. The papers were then ordered to be printed.—On the motion of Mr. Foster, the house resolved itself into a committee on the Linen act. Mr. Foster stated, that the object of going into the committee was this. It had been the policy of this country to encourage the export of our manufactures, especially those that were common both to G. Britain and Ireland, such as that of linen. Drawbacks had accordingly been allowed, so as to give the decided preference to the exportation of our own manufactures over those of other countries. His object then was, to place the drawback on plain linen in the same situation in which it was before the act of last year. He concluded by moving a resolution to this effect, which was agreed to.
