Seamen's Petition referred to Committee on Soldiers Bill.

Upon reading the Petition of several Persons, whose Names are subscribed, on Behalf of themselves and many Hundreds of other Seamen, that have served Her Majesty very faithfully at Sea in the late Wars; praying, "That they may be included in the Bill now depending in this House, for enabling the Officers and Soldiers, who have been in Her Majesty's Service, to exercise their Trades; that those who have been in the Sea Service may have like Encouragements with those that have been in the Land Service:"

It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Petition shall be, and is hereby, referred to the Committee of the whole House to whom the said Bill is committed.

The Question was put, "Whether this Bill shall pass?"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

"Dissentient.

Protest against it:

"1st. Because we apprehend, that the charging Scotland with this Malt Tax, will be a Violation of the Fourteenth Article of the Union; by which it is expressly provided, "that Scotland shall not be charged with any Malt Tax during this War;" and it was not denied, for indeed it is undeniable, that Peace with Spain is not yet concluded: And, by Construction of Law, and Usage of Parliament, this Bill is to be reckoned as a Grant to the Crown, and a Charge upon the People, from the First Day of this Session, at which Time even the Peace with France was not made.

"2dly, Because a great Part of this Malt Tax is for the satisfying and making up the Deficiency of the Malt-Tax, in the Year 1711; from which Scotland being entirely free, we conceive it unjust, even though the Peace were concluded, to make that Part of the United Kingdom pay any Part of that Tax, which was expressly given (as appears by the Preamble) for this present War.

"3dly, Because it is, by the foresaid Fourteenth Article, expressly provided, "that due Consideration shall be had of the Circumstances of Scotland, when any Imposition or Tax is laid on it:" And we are fully assured, that it is impossible for Scotland to bear so heavy a Tax, by which it will be liable to pay vastly more when the Peace shall be concluded, than it did during the War; whereas England has its Burthens greatly diminished.

To acquaint them, that the Lords have agreed to the last mentioned Bill, without any Amendment.
