was certainly annexed and inseparable.

Lord Newhaven then withdrew his motion.

Percival said, that the exercise of this jurisdiction had been
antecedent to the Act of Henry VIII.

In the Committee, Lord Beauchamp objected to the word
established, which he wished to alter to the word recognized;
but that, unless it was agreed to, he would not press it.

I said that, as every word of the Bill had undergone the most
serious discussion, and the most attentive consideration, on
both sides of the water, and that as the present form had been
approved of, I wished the Bill might receive no alteration, in
order that it might pass, without any possible difference of

He then proposed to put for ever instead of for the future; to
which I agreed.

To the last clause, to prevent the receiving writs of error,
&c., I moved an addition, which was drawn by the
Attorney-General in consequence of the enclosed papers from Mr.

wished it had been inserted in the Bill, but hoped at least that
I would guard against the idea of its being called a new claim.
To this you will see that part of my speech was directed; and

After this business was over, Eden wished that Ireland might be
inserted in the American Intercourse Bill. I was gone; but the
Solicitor-General said that he thought it pretty extraordinary
that, on the very day that the House had declared that they had
no right to legislate for Ireland, that honourable gentlemen
should wish to make trade laws for her.
