§ Pursuant to the order of the day, their lordships resolved into a committee of privileges, and lord Walsingham having taken the chair, the solicitor general was heard at considerable length, in support of the evidence adduced by the duke of Rutland, and on behalf of his title to the above barony, towards his conclusion. He said he trusted he had made out to the satisfaction of their lordships, all those propositions that proved the noble duke to be entitled to the barony; that he had always held the barony by tenure, being possessed of the territory by which it was constituted; that a barony, so held, could not descend to the heirs general, except accompanied by the territory; and that he held it impossible that the noble petitioner, lady Henry Fitzgerald, could support her claim. The chairman was then ordered to leave the chair. The farther consideration of the case was postponed, and the house resumed.—The bills upon the table were forwarded in their several stages, and several bills brought up from the commons, were read a first time.—The lord chancellor having proposed the recommitment of the Stipendiary Curates' bill, their lordships accordingly resolved into a committee on the same. Some further alterations and amendments were made, principally on the suggestion of the lord chancellor, and in the course of some discussion on the different points between his lordship and the bishop of St. Asaph; after which the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow.—The Irish Civil List bill, and the Poor Clergy Relief bill, severally went through committees of the whole house, and were ordered to be reported.—The second reading of the Irish Revenue Regulation bill was, on the motion of lord Hawkesbury, postponed for three months. The principal reason assigned by the noble secretary of state was, that commissioners being appointed to enquire regularly into the subject, affected by the bill, it would be desirable to have the report of those commissioners before parliament previous to the passing such a bill as that in question.
