§ Lord Grenvillepresented a message from his majesty, purporting that, by the act of parliament for granting an annuity to the earl of St. Vincent, that annuity was limited to the two next heirs male of his body, and desiring the house to take the further extension of the same into their consideration.—The message having been read, lord Hawkesbury asked. across the table, if any motion was intended? Lord Grenville answered in the affirmative, and observed that, in granting the annuity to lord St. Vincent, it had been originally intended, as was usual in similar cases, to extend the grant to the two next successors to the title. It happened, however, that, by the enacting words of the act, the annuity 178 was limited to the two next heirs male of the body of lord St. Vincent. The present message, therefore, had not for its object to confer any additional mark of royal favour on lord St. Vincent, but merely to carry into effect what was undoubtedly the original intent of the act to which he had alluded. A bill to this effect would, in due time, come before the house, when their lordships would have an opportunity of considering the subject. He concluded, by moving, in the usual form, an address to his majesty, in answer to his majesty's most gracious massage, which was agreed to.
