On the motion that the bill for extending the Royalty of Glasgow be now read a third time, Mr. Maxwell moved as an amendment, that the said bill be read this day three months, which after a conversation, in which Mr. Boswell, Mr, Laing, and Mr. Creevey supported the amendment, and the lord advocate and solicitor general of Scotland the bill, was negatived on a division of 41 to 21. The bill was then read a third time and passed.— Mr. Mellish presented petitions from the parishes of St. Mary, Islington, and St. Clements Danes, against the Parochial Poor Relief bill.—The Speaker acquainted the house that lieut. col. Alexander Park not having entered the required recognizances within the time limited by act or parliament, the petition complaining of an undue return for the shire of Kinross fell to the ground, and the order for hearing the same was discharged. The time for entering into recognizances on the petition complaining of the undue return of sir James Craig tor the town of 851 Carrickfergus was enlarged to this day se'nnight.—Mr. Jones gave notice, that it was his intention in the early part of the ensuing session, to move for leave to bring in a bill to compel parochial officers to give in on oath certain rate-books previous to elections.—Mr. Brundrett, who had refused to answer the interrogatories of the house, on the subject of the detention of the Poole writ, and who had been committed to Newgate for that refusal, being in attendance pursuant to order for the purpose of being discharged, was brought to the bar, where he received the following reprimand from the Speaker: "Jonathan Brundrett; an unwarrantable delay appearing to have taken place in the execution of the last writ of election for the town and county of the town of Poole, and it appearing also that the writ was delivered from the great seal into your hands, you were interrogated at the bar of this house touching your conduct in that transaction, and you then thought fit to refuse making answer to the questions upon which you were examined. For that contumacy you were committed a prisoner to his majesty's gaol of Newgate, in order that you might feel, and others might know, that this house will not suffer any man, with impunity, to violate its privileges, or set its authority at defiance. But now that your imprisonment has brought you to a confession of your error, and a proper sense of obedience; this house accepts your submission, and consents to your discharge; and you are discharged accordingly." On the motion of the chancellor of the exchequer, what the Speaker had said in reprimanding Jonathan Brundrett, was ordered to be entered on the journals. Mr. Brundrett was ordered to attend on Thursday next, at the resumption of the enquiry respecting the detention of the Poole writ; and Mr. Wm. Spurrier was ordered to attend at the same time.
