A Bill on the Principles of Lieutenant Tomiinfon's Plan for the more eafy and effeaual manning of the Royal Navy, & Moved for in the House of Commons, March 11, 1777. By the Hon. Temple Luttrel, &c. 8vo. 15. Matthews. This bill, not having met with the fuffrage of adminiftration, was thrown out of the Houfe of Commons, though powerfully fupported by many able fpeakers of the minority; whofe orations in its favour are here printed. From the fol lowing nota-bene prefixed, it feems as if it were intended to be again brought into the houfe. "The provifions herein contained are calculated for the general be nefit of the state, the fpecial and immediate redrefs of feamen and their families, as well as many thoufands of other perfons unconflitutionally and dreadfully aggrieved by the prefent practice of impreffing into the naval fervice. They are therefore printed, and fubmitted to the public at large, in hopes of meeting that zealous encouragement which it is humbly prefumed the nature of the object will be found to deferve. If the fenfe of the nation fhould clearly and implicitly prove favourable to the bill, it will again be moved in the Houfe of Com mons, when there can be but little doubt of its fuccefs under the national auspices, notwithstanding it unluckily tends to diminish the perquifites exacted by a very powerful minifterial board." It is a great pity that public and private intereft cannot in this inftance be brought to coincide, that fo great an evil as preffing is to individuals might be laid afide. N ΠΕΡΙ ΤΩΝ ΝΟΜΩΝ, κ. τ. λ.
