HL Deb 13 June 1806 vol 7 c648

In the appeal Seymour v. the earl of Euston and lord Henry Seymour, Mr. Richards was heard for the respondents, after which the further consideration of it was postponed till the next day.—The royal assent was given by commission to the Property Duty bill, the Irish Sugar bill, the Irish Stamp Duties bill, the Irish Additional Force Repeal bill, and several private bills. The commissioners were the lord Chancellor, lord Walsingham, and lord Auckland.—Lord H.Petty, and several other members of the house of commons, brought up a message, stating that the house of commons requested a conference with their lordships, on a subject in which the reputation of the country, and the interests of humanity, justice, and sound policy, were deeply concerned. The house agreed to a conference presently in the painted chamber, of which the messengers from the commons being called in, were informed. A committee was appointed to manage the conference.—The house being informed that the commons waited the conference in the painted chamber, the committee appointed to manage it, consisting of the duke of Norfolk, earls of Radnor and Romney, lord Falmouth, the bishop of St. Asaph, lords Holland, Keith, Dundas, Ellenborough and Lauderdale, went forth to the painted chamber. Shortly afterwards they returned; when the duke of Norfolk reported that the commons had communicated to them a certain resolution relative to the Abolition of the Slave Trade.
