the Clock, to proceed on the Bill, intituled, "An Act

Lords Reasons for insisting on their Amendments to the Bill for prohibiting India Silks, &c.:
The Earl of Stamford reported from the Committee
appointed to draw Reasons for the Lords insisting on
their Amendments made to the Bill, intituled, "An
Act to restrain the wearing of all Wrought Silks
and Bengalls imported into this Kingdom from Persia
and East India, and all Callicoes printed or stained
there."
Which were read, and are as follow; (videlicet,)
The Lords insist on the Amendments made by their
Lordships to the Bill, intituled, "An Act to restrain
the wearing of all Wrought Silks and Bengalls imported into this Kingdom from Persia and East India,
and all Callicoes printed or stained there:"
In the 4th, 21th, and 32th Lines of the First Skin,
the 27th and 32th Lines of the 2d Skin, and in
the 6th, 9th, and 14th Lines of the 3d Skin:
"Because, the Design of this Bill seeming to be for
the Encouragement of the Manufacture of this
Kingdom, and for preserving the Money within
the same which is usually sent Abroad to purchase Foreign Silks, the Lords conceive it cannot
be effectual for either of these Ends unless the
Prohibition be general; without which, the Silks
that will infallibly be imported, from France,
Italy, and Holland, will carry at least as much
Money out of the Kingdom as ever, and be as
great a Discouragement to our own Manufacture:
And their Lordships are of Opinion, that the
general Prohibition will no more endanger the
Loss of the Trade with those Countries, than
the particular Prohibition will that with Persia
and India, which the Lords cannot suppose is
designed to be lost by this Bill.
"The Lords insist on the Amendments made by their
Lordships in the 38th Line of the 1st Skin, and 4th
Line of the 2d Skin:
"Because, if there be not a Penalty imposed upon
the wearing as well as upon the Sale of any
Commodity that is prohibited, such Prohibition
would be totally ineffectual; which the Lords
conceive the Bill, as it came from the Commons,
was defective in. Their Lordships conceive, that
the imposing of Pecuniary Penalties of this Nature is no Charging of Money upon the People;
because nothing can truly be called so, which is
within the People's Choice not to pay if they
please, as they need not to do in this Case, unless
they will wilfully break the Law; which is made
for the Welfare of the State, and not for taxing
of the Subject: And their Lordships cannot
imagine how the imposing a Penalty in a Legislative Way can well be denied to arise properly
in their House; when, according to the Law of
the Land, their Lordships, in a Judicial Way, are
in Possession of that undoubted Right by themselves alone.
The Lords insist on their Amendments in the Title
of the said Bill, for the Reasons aforesaid."
Message to H.C. for a Conference about them.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir John Hoskyns and Mr. Meredith:
To desire a Conference, upon the Subject-matter of
the last Conference on the Lords Amendments made to
the Bill, intituled, "An Act to restrain the wearing of
all Wrought Silks and Bengalls imported into this
Kingdom from Persia and East India, and all Callicoes
printed or stained there," To-morrow, at One of the
Clock, in the Painted Chamber.
Adjourn.
