Contractors Bill, Conference on, at desire of H. C.

A Message was brought from the House of Commons, by Sir George Yonge and others:

To desire a Conference with this House upon the Subject Matter of the Amendments made by this House to the Bill, intituled, "An Act for restraining any Person concerned in any Contract, Commission, or Agreement made for the Public Service from being elected, or sitting and voting as a Member of the House of Commons."

To which the House agreed,

And the Messengers were called in and told, "That the Lords do agree to a Conference as is desired, an appoint the same presently in the Painted Chamber."

The Lords following were appointed Managers of the Conference; (videlicet)

Ld. President.
Ld. Chamberlain.
D. Beaufort.
D. Montagu.
E. Derby.
E. Salisbury.
E. Sandwich.
E. Coventry.
E. Jersey.
E. Oxford & Mortimer.
E. Waldegrave.
E. Effingham.
E. Radnor.
E. Spencer.
E. Chatham.
E. Bathurst.
E. Ailesbury.
E. Clarendon.
V. Stormont.
V. Keppel.
L. Bp. Peterborough.
L. Bp. St. David's.
L. Bp. Bristol.
L. Paget.
L. Say & Sele.
L. Craven.
L. Chedworth.
L. Sandys.
L. Vere.
L. Scarsdale.
L. Beaulieu.
L. Hawke.
L. Amherst.
L. Harrowby.
L. Loughborough.
L. Walsirgham.
L. Bagot.
L. Southampton.

The House being informed, "That the Managers of the Conference for the Commons were ready in the Painted Chamber;"

The Names of the Managers for this House were called over;

And the House was adjourned during Pleasure, and the Lords went to the Conference;

Which being ended, the House was resumed:

Report of Conference:

And the Lord President reported, "That they had met the Managers for the Commons at the Conference, which was managed on their Part by Sir George Yonge, who delivered to them the Bill with the Amendments, and also a Paper containing as follows; (videlicet)

The Commons have desired this Conference with your Lordships, in order to preserve that good Correspondence between the Two Houses, which it is always the Desire of the Commons to maintain.

To the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Amendments made by your Lordships to the Bill, intituled, "An Act for restraining any Person concerned in any Contract, Commission, or Agreement made for the Public Service from being elected, or sitting and voting as a Member of the House of Commons;" the Commons do agree.

To the Sixth Amendment made by your Lordships, which is to insert the Words ("except such Wares and Merchandize as shall be of his own Growth, Production, or Manufacture, and also except such Houses, Warehouses, Lands, and Tenements, as shall be hired out or contracted for, for the Service of the Public;") the Commons do disagree.

Because,

First, They cannot suggest to themselves any Reason, for excluding from a Seat in the House of Commons the Merchant who shall furnish for the Public Service, those Wares and Commodities which the Course of his Dealings with Foreign Countries may enable him to do, which Reason is not equally applicable to the Farmer, the Grazier, the Grower of Timber, the Manufacturer, and every other Person deriving a Profit from the Rent of his Houses, Warehouses, or Lands; that undue Influence, which it is the Object of this Bill to destroy, resides equally in every Contract or Agreement that is made with the Commissioners of the Treasury, or any of the Public Boards, and therefore the Contractor under such Circumstances, of whatever Denomination he may be, ought equally to be restrained from being elected, or sitting and voting as a Member of the House of Commons.

Secondly, Another Reason which induces the Commons to disagree with this Amendment, is, that in their Opinion it gives great Opportunities for Fraud and Collusion, and opens a very wide Door for evading the principal Object of the Bill; there are very many Articles, furnished for the Public Service, which are of the Growth, Production, and Manufacture of Great Britain, and it will be a very easy Matter for any Person furnishing these Articles, who wishes to be a Member of the House of Commons, to give them such a Colour and Appearance of their being of his own Growth, Production, or Manufacture, as it will be extremely difficult, if not totally impossible to detect.

For these Reasons the Commons hope that your Lordships, who have shewn your Approbation of the Principle of the Bill, will not insist upon an Amendment, which in their Opinion, tends to render the Provisions of the Bill fruitless and nugatory."

Which Report being read by the Clerk;

Report to be considered.

Ordered, That the same be taken into Consideration on Thursday next; and the Lords summoned.

Sir G. B. Rodney, &c. Thanks of the House to.

Ordered, Nemine Dissentiente, "That the Thanks of this House be given to Sir George Brydges Rodney Baronet, Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, for his able and gallant Conduct in the late most brilliant and decisive Victory obtained over the French Fleet in the West Indies, by the Fleet under his Command."

Sir S. Hood and others, Thanks of the House to.

Ordered, Nemine Dissentiente, "That the Thanks of this House be given to Rear Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, Rear Admiral Drake, Commodore Affleck and Sir Charles Douglas, and to the several Captains and Officers of the Fleet under the Command of Sir George Brydges Rodney, for their Bravery and gallant Conduct on the said late most glorious Occasion; and that Sir George Brydges Rodney do signify the same to them."

Resolved, Nemine Dissentiente, "That this House doth highly approve of and acknowledge the Services of the Seamen, Marines and Soldiers on board the Ships under the Command of Sir George Brydges Rodney, in the late glorious Victory over the French Fleet; and that the Captains of the several Ships do signify the same to their respective Crews, and do thank them for their gallant Behaviour."

Ordered, That the Lord Chancellor do transmit the above Resolutions of this House to Sir George Brydges Rodney.

Address to His Majesty on the Success of His Fleet.

Moved, "That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, to congratulate His Majesty on the late signal Successes obtained by His Fleet in the West Indies, and to express our Reliance in the Divine Providence that those Successes may obtain a farther Extent from the Bravery of His Majesty's Forces, the approved Conduct of their Commanders and the Wisdom of His Majesty's Councils."

Then an Amendment was proposed to be made thereto, by leaving out ("Fleet in the West Indies")

Which being objected to,

After Debate,

The Question was put, "Whether the Words ("Fleet in the West Indies") shall stand Part of the Motion?"

It was resolved in the Negative.

Then it was proposed after the Words ("obtained by His") to insert the Word ("Fleets").

The same was agreed to.

Then it was proposed to leave out from the Word ("Fleets") to the End of the Motion.

The Question was put thereupon?

It was resolved in the Affirmative.

Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, to congratulate His Majesty on the late signal Successes obtained by His Fleets.

Ordered, That the said Address be presented to His Majesty by the Lords with White Staves.

Causes put off.

Ordered, That the Hearing of the Cause wherein Richard Legrand Esquire is Appellant, and Mrs. Maria Stewart his Wife is Respondent, which stands appointed for To-morrow, be put off to Friday next.

Ordered, That the Hearing of the Cause wherein Robert Hunter Esquire and others are Appellants, and John Buchan Esquire is Respondent, which stands appointed for Wednesday next, be put off to Monday next.

Ordered, That the Hearing of the Cause wherein Charles Earl of Aboyne is Appellant, and George Earl of Aberdeen is Respondent, which stands appointed for Thursday next, be put off till after all the Causes already appointed.

Ordered, That the House be put into a Committee upon the said Bill To-morrow; and that the Lords be summoned.

King's Answer to Address.

The Lord Chamberlain reported, "That the Lords with White Staves had (according to Order) waited on His Majesty, with their Lordships Address of the 17th of this Instant May; and that His Majesty was pleased to receive the same very graciously."
