After Debate;

The Question was put, "Whether the Bill offered shall be now read?"

It was Resolved in the Affirmative.

Protest against reading it.

"Dissentient.

"For that the main Foundation and greatest Motive for the Legislative Authority to intermeddle in the Settlement of Private Men's Estates, is the Desire and free Consent of all Parties concerned in the said Settlement first had and obtained; and the Lord Granville, next Heir to the present Earl of Bathe, having, in his Place in this House, declared, "That he conceived his Interest in that Estate, to be prejudiced by this Bill; and that he could by no Means give his Consent to it:"

"We do therefore humbly conceive, the receiving this Bill to be contrary to the usual Method of proceeding in all Bills of this Nature; and therefore ought not to have been received.

"Rochester.
Buckingham, C. P. S.
Winchilsea.
Guilford.
Nottingham.
Granville.
Craven.
Warrington."
