§ Sir J. Andersonbrought up a petition from the parish of St. Leonard Shoreditch, in favour of the East-London water works bill.—On the motion of sir J. Sinclair, it was ordered to be an instruction to the committee appointed to consider of the laws relative to waggons, &c. on the highways throughout the united kingdom, to take into their consideration the act of the 28th of the king, c.27, relative to outside passengers on stage coaches.—Mr. Vansittart brought up the Scotch Distillery bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next, and to be printed.—The Irish Malt Duty bill was read a third time and 578 passed.—Sir J. Newport gave notice of a motion he intended to make, for leave to bring in a bill to regulate the elections in Ireland. The first object of the bill he should propose was, to disqualify revenue officers from being returning officers, as they were now disqualified from being voters. In the second place, he wished that it should be imperative upon corporations, to examine speedily the claims of persons claiming the right of freedom; and thirdly he wished that in cities and towns, the freeholders should be put on an equality with those who had obtained their freedom by trade, who at present can act six months after obtaining their freedom, whereas the freeholder must be registered at least twelve months prior to the election.—Sir Arthur Wellesley moved for papers respecting the charge against marquis Wellesley. The first paper for which he moved was "the copy of a letter from Mr. Paull to Marquis Wellesley, dated Lucknow, March 10, 1803, with the answer." Mr. Paull seconded the motion. He however begged leave to state, that at the time of his writing that letter, he had been only six weeks in India, after his return from England, where he had staid above two years. It would be seen, however, that that letter complained of the oppression and extortion committed under the system of the British government in the province of Oude. The paper was then ordered, as was also an immediate return of papers formerly moved for and ordered.
