The Provost obferved, that it was neceflary to bring in bills frequently for regulating the baking trade, and atcertain the alize of bread, especially in great cities like Corke and Dublin, which were effentially every man's concern, but he understood, though those bills were in their own nature public bills, yet, on the other fide of the water, they were confidered as private bills, and fees to a large amount, charged on them, which became a grievous expence. He therefore wished the houte would come to fome opinion on the matter, which might be a means of thole fees not being infitted on, 00 the other fide the water.

Mr. Ogle desired to know, whether in confequence of a motion made by him a few days ago, and the order of the house thereon, any return had been made by the proper officer of the time of the Tranfmiffion of the máting

[ocr errors]

The clerk of the houfe faid, the order had been served on the clerk of the privy council, but no account had been returned.

The Speaker faid he was of opinion the order had not been ferved on the proper officer, as he thought the clerk of the Hanaper was the proper officer.

Mr. Ogle declared he would deliver his fentiments at another opportunity, on the disrespect fhewn to the house on that occafion,-an occafion of fuch confequence to the nation.

Sir William Ofborne faid he was of opinion that the clerk of the council was the perfon; but should it be deemed otherwife, the secretary to the lord lieutenant undoubtedly was; he then adverted to the ufual Order made on fending bills to the lord lieutenant, and he infifted that the nation was in a dangerous fituation, if any attempt should be made to quarter foldiers, as there was no law exifting in the kingdom to warrant fuch a measure. He found gentlemen of the law in general, at leaft many of them with whom he he had converfed on that subject, had greatly mistaken the law on that head. He understood it was intended to adjourn for a few days. But if the hon. gentleman who should make the motion, would defer it, he would to-morrow engage to convince the house as there was no exifting law to support him, to no magiftrate could be found to attempt quartering foldiers without oppofition, and of course bloodshed. To prevent which, until we had a certainty of the fate of the bill, he would then read what he intended to move for avoiding the calamity and confufion likely to ensue on account of what feemed the molt thameful negleet; but if the right hon. Bart. would declare he had warmly recommended the bill to the English miniftry, as a favourite bill, and had not lent it in a cool manner, he would not make his motion.

No answer being made, Sir William read his motion, that an humble addrefs be prefented to the lord lieutenant, befeeching him, that for the good government of the kingdom, and peace of the subject, he would forbear from ordering any march or removal of the troops in this kingdom, until an act should be passed in this kingdom for the regulation of the army, and providing quarters for foldiers, except in cale of an invafion, and landing of an enemy.

Mr. Ogle and Mr. Fitzgibbon thought the motion extremely neceffary, and fraught with the best con'equences to the peace of this country.

Mr. Forster, the Solicitor General, captain Willon, and Sir Henry Cavendish urged the neceffity of the adjournment, as no ill confequence could arife from the interval of four days.

Sir Henry Cavendish then moved, that the houfe declare, they will, at the time of putting the queftion of adjournment, put is for Tuefday next. Carried in the affirmative without divifion.

Adjourned to Tuesday next.

Tuesday, Auguft 1] The houfe in a com mittee on the Lagan navigation bill, colone! Rofs in the chair, reported, and ordered to be -angroffed.

Deepthemes revolving in his impious breast,
Thro' Hell's black climate, fteers his rapid flight,
To fearch for new created fcenes of light,
Sometimes the right hand coaft he vainly tries,
Then on the left he darts, with piercing eyes,
Now skimming o'er the burning lake explores,
The doubtful path to Hell's infernal doors,
At length the fiery concave foaring near,
Far off, the maffy gates, in fight appear.
Three times three fold, their mighty ftrength

Three folds of brafs the durance help to clofe,
Three folds of iron, next fecure the lock,
And last, three folds of adamantine rock.
Could all ia vain to guard the pafs confpire,
Impenetrably arm'd with circling fire.

But ended falle, in many a fcaly fold.
Down from the waift a wreath of fpiral ring,
Arm'd with a deadly Serpent's fharpest fting.
About her middle, there were hellish hounds,
Who ne'er ceas'd barking, with unhallow'd

Yet if difturb'd, into her womb would creep And kennel there, and yet would bark and grin,
