HC Deb 06 May 1806 vol 7 c1

A message was received from the lords acquainting the house that their lordships would proceed farther in the Trial of lord Melville, on Thursday next, at 10 of the clock, in Westminster-hall. Also that their Lordships had agreed to the Sea Offence Bill without any amendment.—On the motion of Mr. Vansittart the order for the third reading of the Iron Duty bill on Thursday was read, when he moved that the order be discharged, and the bill ordered for recommitment on Friday next. He was induced to make this motion from a desire on the part of his majesty's ministers, that the subject might meet with the maturest consideration. The order was made accordingly.—Mr. W. Smith brought up the report of the committee of ways and means relative to the duty on the exportation of Iron, which was read a first and second time and agreed to, and instructions ordered to be given to the committee of the whole house on the Iron Duty bill, to make provisions therein accordingly.—Mr. Alexander brought up the report of the committee of ways and means on the extension of the duty on Iron to the stock in hand. The resolutions were read and agreed to, and instructions directed to be given to the committee on the Iron duty to make provisions in the said bill accordingly.—The Lord Advocate of Scotland brought in the bill For increasing the Salaries of the Judge of the Court of Admiralty and of the Judges of the Commissary Court, which was read a first time.
