Mr.Molyneux rose up, and animadverted severely on the character of Mr.Ramsay, one of the evidences in the privy council report, during his residence in the West Indies.

This called up Sir William Dolben and Sir Charles Middleton in his defence, the latter of whom bore honourable testimony to his virtues from an intimate acquaintance with him, and a residence in the same village with him, for twenty years.

Mr.Molyneux spoke also in angry terms of the measure of abolition.

To annihilate the trade, he said, and to make no compensation on account of it, was an act of swindling.

Mr.Macnamara called the measure hypocritical, fanatic, and methodistical.
