The Earl of Limerickmoved for the production of an account of all sums, &c. paid at par, to persons in and from Ireland, on the part of the government thereof, since the Union, and distinguishing the sums so paid, in the present session of Parliament, with an account of the 1019 average of exchange during that period, together with a statement of the orders from the government of Ireland, under which such sums were paid, &c.
Lord Kingexpressed his wish to amend the noble Earl's motion, by the addition of account of all sums paid in specie in Dublin, to the same, if any were so paid." This was shortly objected to by the Earl of Limerick, on the score of irregularity, and as it may form ground to the noble Lord for a separate discussion.—And after a few words in explanation between these Peers, Lord King declined pressing the amendment—The question was then put upon the Earl of Limerick's motion, which was ordered accordingly.
