On the motion of Lord FOLKSTONE, Captain Huxley San den, now a prisoner in Newgate, in consequence of an order of this Honourable House, and Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke, were or dered to attend thi s evening before the Committee of the whole House, on the Inquiry respecting the Duke of York. A new writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a Member for Stamford, in the room of General Berrie, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds.

IRIS PECULATORS. 'Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose, pursuant to his notice of yes terday, to move for leave to bring in a bill to render the embez zlement of public money, by any Collector, Agent, or other per son entrusted to receive the same, felony without benefit of clergy. Not anticipating any objection to the bill, he felt it us• necessary to trouble the House at any length sow. He found that so long since as the 29th of h 6 late Majisty a bill had passed, to render it felony without benefit of clergy, for any person em ployed in the collection of public monies in Ireland, to embezzle any sum above fifty pounds. That bill, however, had become obsolete, and was not sufficient to answer the objects of this bill, which was to carry the law further, and reach the principal as well as the deputy officers entrusted with the receipt of the pub lic money. He therefore moved for leave to bring in the bill. The SPEAKER suggested to the Right Honourable Baronet, that the regular course of proceeding in such cases was to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better prevention of frauds and embezzlements in such cases, and leave It for the Committee on the bill to insert the punishment to be inflicted on offenders. Sir JOHN NEWPORT amended his motion. Mr. FOSTER wished to apprize the Honourable Baronet that he had a bill in contemplation, which he intended shortly to in troduce, and which, besides embracing all the objects of the bill now proposed, would extend much farther. He therefore wished the Right Honourable Baronet to postpone the introduction of his Bill until the other should come before the House ; if, how ever, he wished to persevere, there would be no negative to his motion. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it would be time enough to withdraw histill, when he should find that his• objects were an swered by the bill now announced. It bad been already provided by a regulation, that no greater sum should remain in the hands of any Collector than 3001. notwithstanling which, it was found that there had been left in the charge of one officer upwards of 90,0001. and recently, the Collector of Cork, Mr. O'Connor, had embezzled 23,0001. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY admitted that the Collector of Cork had embezzled this sum ; but it was the collection of only one week; and he eloped at the moment that a Commissioner was sent down to enquire the reason of his delaying his pay ment. After a few words from Mr. WYNNE, leave was given to bring in Sir John Newport's Bill. The Report was brought up from the Select Committee, to whom had been referred for selection, certain papers laid before the Committee of the whole House on the preceding night, rela tive to the inquiry into the conduct of the Commander in Chief. The Report was to this effect : " Your Committee having inspected all the said letters, are of opinion, that they 'all contain inatter relevant to the matter now under investigation."—The papers Were accordingly referred to the Committee of the whole House. • Lord FOLKSTONE having moved the order of the day for going into the Committee, . Mr. BERESFORD rose and said, that as he sel dom troubled the House, he hoped for their indul gence while he stated a circumstance which regarded heir privileges. In a _Morning Paper of this day, appeared a statement of the proceedings of the Com. mittee last night, in which words were imputed to him, reflecting on the conduct of an Honourable Gentleman, which he certainly never uttered. The words were these :—" Mr. Beresford, addressing him self to Mr. Wardle, said, he could not refrain from animadverting on several parts of the Honourable Member's conduct in reference to him from the com mencement of this inquiry. He considered it un handsome and ungentlemanly. Upon this, some smart retorts passed between Mr. Wardle and Mr. Beresfind." Mr. Beresford thought it quite unneces. sary for him to appeal to the recollection of the House whether he had ever addressed any such words to the Honourable Gentleman. In fact, none such were uttered by him ; and he should have felt it ex tremely unmanly not to take the first oppoitunity of making this explanation, in order to remove any im pression which such a publication might make on that Honourable Gentleman's feelings. It was a gross misrepresentation, and therefore he should move that the Printer of the Paper in question should appear at the Bar to-morrow, in the custody of the Serjeant at Arms. The SPEAKER said, that the course usual on such occasions was to give in the paper containing the misrepresentation to be read by the Clerk ; and then to move that the Printer do appear at the Bar on a .future day. Mr. BERESFORD accordingly gave in the Paper, when the passage was read by the Clerk. Mr. B. then said it was not his wish, from any personal feel.: ing, to proceed to extremities with the Printer in this case : he had merely taken up the matter as a gross mischievous breach of the privileges of the House. He would rather leave it to their discretion ; but if they encouraged him, he would repeat his motion. The SPEAKER said, if the Honourable Gentle man did not wish to make any formal complaint, it would be best to hold the business over in suspense, in order to see rhether the party persisted in state ments of the same colour and tendency ; and there fore he suggested that the subject should be farther considered on that day se'nnight. Mr. BERESFORD acquiesced. Lord FOLKSTQNE seconded this latter proposi tion, and rose to beer his testimony, in the absence of his Honourable 'Friend (Mr. Wardle), that the words in question had not been used, and that the feelings of his Honourable Friend were in no respect ag. grieved. His Lordship approved of the course pro posed to be adopted, and acknowledged the handsome and honourable manner in which the Honourable Gentleman had taken up the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the mode proposed accorded with his own feelings. If any offence had been committed against the privileges of the House, and a regular complaint were made of it, it would then be necessary to take notice of it in a solemn way; but as it had been iris. totnary to overlook a certain-violation of the privi leges of the House,:from the nature ,cif their proceed ing% it was scarcelr possible to•suppose that mistakes might not occur ; but if these were not grossly and • obviously intentional, they were not such immediate objects of serious notice. He seated some parts of his own speech which had been misrepresented, and words put into his mouth which he had never uttered. However, it appeared to him that this was the result of error, and not of intention ; and unless the mis statement was palpably designed, he thought the mode last suggested a proper one. Mr. N. CALVERT thought the Printer certainly ought to be brought to the liar, and at least repri. manded for his error. Mr. W. SMITH, at the same time that he applaud.. ed. the handsome manner in which Mr. Beresford had acted, nevertheless thought that, although a Member, from a sense of his own dignity, might not wish to follow up a complaint of this sin with any Severity, that the House, in cases of gross mistatement, ought not to pass over the matter so lightly. He thought that the party who had made the misrepresentation should be brought to the Bar to tell his own story, and make his apology, or receive the reproof of the Speaker, and think himself well off for being so ten derly dealt with. He (Mr. Smith) was one of the warmest advocates for the liberty of the press, but is this case he thought great.lenity was shewn. Mr. YORKE thought that the liberty of the press had of late been carried to such lengths, and the misre presentations of the proceedings in th at Hottse, both collectively and individually, had for some time been so frequent, that it was time for the House to come to some understanding on the subject. He regretted that he was not in the House when this business was intro. duced ; but from what he understood, he agreed with - the last Honourable Gentleman in thinking ihat the Printer ought to be brought to the bar to answer for his conduct. As to the liberty of the press, he him self had been bred up in principles which taught him to view it as the palladium of British liberty : but he thought that from a laxity of discipline in the exercise 'of that liberty, of late so much licentiousness had crept in, as to call for some effectual check to its pro gress. He did not feel a wish to introduce any law or statute on the subject, but merely a vigilant exer cise of the laws already in existence. As to the- en croachments which had been made upon the privi leges of that House by the publication of its proceed. ings, he was not one of those who wished fur any ri. gorous exertion of their powers in that respect; but he thought, at least, that those who took upon them to infringe those privileges, by publishing the proceed ings of the House, should be responsible for their mis representations, whether intentional or otherwise.— The rules of the House ought not to be violated : tri vial mistakes might be passed over, because, other wise, enquiries would be endless ; but where such se rious complaints as the present were made, he thought the Printer should be called to the bar and punished. Mr. WHITBREAD rose, and said he could not agree with the principles laid down by the Honoura ble Gentleman who spoke last, of acting with rigour in the case- of an unintentional misrepresentation of what had passed in that House. The mischief -aris ing from such errors was nothing in comparison with the good , which the country derived from the publica tion of the substance of what was spoken by Members within those walls. This was not the first time of late that the Righf Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Yorke) had expressed his disapprobation of the licen tiousness of the press ; but before the Right Honour able Gentleman complained of that licentiousness, in respect to the problications to which he had before al luded, it should be proved that they were libels, and unfounded in truth. On the contrary, those publi cations complained of *ere productive of the happiest consequences to the country, in promoting inquiries which otherwise would never be instituted. The Right Honourable Gentleman had said, that the pri vileges of the House were equal to their own protec tion; but he never knew any instance of the nature now under discussion, wherein those privileges were exerted, that the least good ensued. The Right Ho. nourable Gentleman complained of laxity in discipline towards the press of late : it did not appear, however, that the Law Officers of the Crown had been remiss in their duty, if he looked to the prosecutions for li bels which were Carrying on ; nor was it at all evident that the Courts of Law had been criminally lenient in awarding their punishments. Mr. Whitbread then expressed a wish, that the Chancellot of the Exche quer, in order to obviate a mistake which appeared in his narrative last night, by the insertion of *word not, would insert the whole of that narrative upon the minutes, as he for one was happy to acknowledge that narrative to be a complete and faithful picture of the proofs he afterwards adduced, Mr. YORKE and Mr. WHITBREAIR mutually ex- plained. Mr. BATHURST thought the insertion on the minutes of the narrative alluded to would be an irre gular proceeding ; but with respect to what had been said of the liberty of the press, though he was one of those uillo wished to support it when gent i , e, he could not avoid observing the recent notoriety of its licenti lousness ; and if public bodies allowed their proceed ' irg to be misrepresented, it was impossible to say • VICTUALLING OFFICE, February 9, 1909.
