§ Lord Grenvillemoved to send a message to the Commons, informing them that his majesty had been graciously pleased, in pursuance of an address of that House, to give directions for fitting up a place proper in Westminster-Hall for the Trial of Lord Viscount Melville. Ordered.—Lord Grenville adverted to the motion which had been formerly agreed to by the house, for the attendance of Witnesses on the 29th of April, relative to the charges against Mr. Justice Fox, and observed that it would be impossible for the house to proceed at the same time on the trial of lord Melville, and in the examination of the charges against Mr. Justice Fox. He therefore moved to discharge the order, and renew it for Monday, the 19th of May. The marquis of Abercorn assented to the motion; which was agreed to.—Lord Holland, after referring to the numerous Petitions on the table from the Debtors in the different prisons, praying for relief, stated that he did not think it necessary to detain their lordships by entering into any discussion upon the subject; 755 he should merely observe, that he had prepared a bill for the relief of that description of persons, which was framed in the same manner as former bills of that nature. He intended to propose, that the bill should be printed, and that it should be read a second time as soon as possible after the prints were ready. His lordship presented the bill, which was read a first tune, and ordered to be printed. On the motion of the noble lord, several accounts were ordered of the number of persons confined for Debt in different prisons.
