Commodore Fohnflore infittéd on the propri
ety of printing, and that the Minifteis could
not prevent it ; for as every member had z
right to take a written copy, so had he 2
right to print that copy ; but there were ar
ticles in the Treaty before the Mouse, which
Ministers were afraid to fend abroad among
the public, and vne zrticle in particular,

~the Duke of Richmond and Lord Keppel)—
and they had withdrawn from dislike to this
Tteaty.—He allowed everyjmember-had =z
right {o 2 written copy ; but he theught to
print that written copy would be a breach
of privalege. He would not divide the House
