HC Deb 20 May 1806 vol 7 c284
Mr. Baker

presented a petition from the maltsters of Hertfordshire, against certain provisions in the act of the 43d of the King.—Ordered, on the motion of lord Morpeth, that there be laid before the house, an Account of the Estimate of the probable amount of the revenues and charges of India for the year 1805–6, so far as the same can be made out; together with the interest of the debt, and the expenses of the government of St. Helena and the Prince of Wales's Island.—Sir J. Newport brought up the bill for regulating the collection of the Irish revenues, and for appointing additional commissioners of the revenue in Ireland; also a bill for the repeal of the Irish Additional Force bill; which were read severally a first time.—Mr. Vansittart presented an account of the amount of arrears and balances in the hands of the receivers of the revenues of the crown lands, and of the collectors of the land tax.—A message from the lords informed the house that their lordships had agreed to the Scoth Judges' Salary bill, without any amendment.—Sir W. Geary presented a petition from certain maltsters in the county of Kent, against certain regulations of the act of the 43d of the king respecting the wetting of malt.—Mr. Huskisson having given notice of a motion for the production of a document, which would shew the grounds upon which the board of Treasury were induced to relieve lord Melville from the interest on the ba lance of his first treasurership, begged leave to defer that motion till the final decision of the lords should be declared. He had hoped that he might he able to move for this document without in any degree interfering either with the evidence produced by the managers at the trial, or with any evidence called by the counsel for the noble defendant. On consideration, however, he thought it would be more proper to defer his motion till after their lordships' final decision upon the case.
