HL Deb 20 June 1805 vol 5 c461

Counsel were further heard in the committee of privilege relative to the claim of sir Cecil Bishop to the Barony of Zouch.—Strangers were then excluded for some time, during which some bills were brought up from the commons. After our re-admission, the Lottery bill, the Militia Pay and Clothing bill, the Militia Adjutant's bill, the Militia Subaltern's bill, and some other bills, were read a third time and passed; as was also the Irish Commissioner's bill, after a few observations from the earl of Suffolk relative to the Barrack Department in Ireland and this country.—The Turnpike Act Amendment bill was also read a third time and passed, after leaving out, on the motion of the duke of Norfolk, the clause which gave the whole penalty to be applied to the repairs of the road.—The earl of Suffolk presented a petition from the churchwardens and inhabitants of St. Pancras against the St. Pancras Poor bill, but in consequence of some informality it was withdrawn, for the purpose of being presented again to-morrow.
