Were there not instances daily of persons being convicted before Courts, who, in the very teeth of that conviction, continued the sale of the ea noxious work, and even raised their profits in the ratio as they were prosecuted ? What then could Courts of Justice do? The law upon which they acted wai oT itself irisufficieut to punish the crime. Every distinct publication was a distinct offence, for which the -offender subjected himself to the punish ment of fine and imprisonment. Where then was the life long.enough to expiate the ten thousand of fences, which are multiplied, as copies of the work were sent in cart-loads from the bookseller's sh?p. Here was the anomaly which it Was expedient to cor rect. In the scale of crime every first offence was . venial, but a repetition of it was naturally a great aggravation ; when, by a forgiveness of the first, mild measures were unable to reclaim, it then became necessary to put it out of the power of the delinquent to go on in the commission of the of-' fence. As to the insinuation that it was because it! was suspected Juries did not do their duty, that the second offence was so much aggravated, he would answer, that for his own part, from the experience he had had of Juries, he was convinced they did' their duty. But whether they did or not that would have no influence upon him in the discharge of his duty as a Member of Parliament. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by asking the House if they thought, under the present system of restriction upon the licentiousness of the Press, the Constitution would be handed down to posterity in its purity ? if they did it would not be necessaryto adopt any new mea sures, otherwise it was absolutely necessary to throw up some new fences, and guard that invaluable bul wark against the inroads of facti9us and designing men—(Hear). Earl GREY began by referring to the trial of Mr. Hone for. his Parodies, and repeated the opinion he had before given, that he thought the prosecution most injudicious, and the verdict of the Jury as it ought to be. He declared, that he thought that Gentleman es innocent of any intention of bringing religion into disrespect, by that publication, as those persons who parodied Shakspeare, were of bring ing the immortal Poet into disrespect. He had said the prosecution was injudicious, because he was sure if Mr. Hone had been charged with having pub lished a seditious, in place 0f a blasphemous libel, he would have been convicted. But this, he added, was very immaterial to the question now before their Lordships. The Noble Lord'then, after saying, that however feeble his opposition might be, he would still raise his voice for the People, went on to com bat some of the positions laid down by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. That Noble Lord had said, that it was no evil to leave a discre tionary power with the Judges, a nd that, because they had the power of punishing by the pillorefbe fore, that it was no evil pow to enlarge that discre tion. He would ask, was it no light matter to put it in the power of a Julge tk,send a man, any man in the State, chained down in a transport ship, to Bo tany Bay ? He allowed that sedition was a serious crime, and that it ought to be punished very se; verely ; but the greatest fault in the Bill was, that it left the term seditious libel, undefined. A libel was in its nature extremely difficult to be ascertained, for what was at one time supposed to be an effort of pa triotism, at another time would be accounted libel lous. its character would vary with all times, and it was very likely, at no distanctime, that Ministers would prosecute for libel on Governinent—a libel on themselves. He differed greatly from those No ble I,lprds, who apprehended so much mischief from blasphemous publications ; for it appearc; to him, that the people of England, being a religi ous people, it would be a surer road to notoriety for any one who •was ambitious of fame, to obtain it. by rennin into the extreme of fanaticism, than by a ;eel in blasphemous writing. To spew how really unpopular these writings were, he alluded to what had happened within aim days, when an individual (Mr. Cobbett) thought fit to disclaim all connection with the doctrines of Mr. Paine, and who declared he had never read his works. He then referred to what hid fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, as to the severity of the laws, if they were enforced ; and asked, were they not suffi cient for All the purposes of suppressing these sedi tious publications? Was Government never attacked before, or. was it in a worse situation than at the time of the &volution, when there were plots of assassination farming against William the Third, and of Rebellion against the Government? Yet our ancestors trusted for their preservation to the ordinary effects of the laws Which were then in force, without thinking of adding new force to them. On the contrary, that was the time that the-Statute regarding high treason wet passed, which the Noble ./..ord so much eulo gized. He again wished to impress upon the House, that the lams at present in force, were quite adequate t o the suppression of seditious publications. He de sired their Lordships to look to the example of Carlile, who was nqvf suffering in prison on a charge of that nature, and who, from the prospect of bks being unable to procure bail, was likely to lie there 'a lora& time ; and he would ask, as that a light punishment? This was not the only instance; and_ under such circurnstancer, was there a necessity for' making encroachments on the law as it at resent' stood, and of legislating . for a permanent measure'' or. the spur of the occasion? He regretted to see' that this Was but a continuation of a system that had teal long going on, of gradually increasing, on every . e nergency, the powers of the Crown at the espense cfpopular liberty. He would ask, was that the way , -ecili - the People, when the; hild been 'drie J!ligt rendezvous to talk o: sures, he and it was of that cla! felt sensi bi nevertheless the bottom,' effect wh' it appeared which he himself with his voice against it—(flee, hear). • The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that it Was ado mitted on all hands, that there was great neceseity for suppressing these irreligious publications, which were calculated to sap the principles of the - wbolo,coal- - munity. The Noble Earl, who had just sat doom, said there was no danger. to be apprehended frous blasphemous publications so long as the People of England continued to be.religious ; but he would ask, how long that would be, if these publications had been suffered to keep their march uninterrupted ?. The Noble Lord, he added, had not argued fairly'io comparing the lenity of the law in past times, in rag Bard to libel, to what it now was ; for compared with the extent and influence of the libels now cis-, culated, the libels of ,former times were no evil at all. He begged their Lordships to see. how, by the cheapness of the price, and the extent of the publica. tunas, the reading ot libellous matter, was in a mari ner at every man's door. The facility of cbming at these increased the demand for them r and this, again, extended by the progressive increase of knkiwledge; some fifty or sixty years ago, half the nation knew not what was doing. The doors of Parliament were shut against.the Public ; but, at the present day, not only are the Bills which go through both Houses in the course of the night, but the very debates and re marks which arise out of them, before the Public in the morni. The Noble Lord had made light of the effect of irreligious publications ; but he would ask him to look to their influence in the early days of the French Revolution ! There, for the first time, arose a sect of men professedly without religion ; and it was because these men became leaders, that that Revolution was so much more sanguinary than the civil wars in this country, where the leaders either had some religion, or were obliged, in cow pliance,with the prejudices of the times, to put on the semblance of it—(Hear, !sear, hear). If ever there was danger of despotism in this country, he contended, it could only spring from this licentious ness, and these blasphemous publications—(Heer).— The Noble Lord, after some more remarks, took oc casion to deny that a Reform in the other House ,Could cure all the evils under which the People are now said to labour. He would ask what influence it could possibly have in making defendants, after they had been convicted of libel-, persevere in pub lishing them, and in exciting the Public to make up large subscriptions for these individuals? He was always of opinion that the Press was at once the greatest blessing or curse of a country,, in propor tion as it was well or ill used : when prostituted to i seditious purposes; he still continued to think, no of lento could be greater; and it was upon this . account be voted for the present Bill. At the same time, when be considered' that the Courts were still left' at discretion of apportioning the punishment as the of fence appeared more or fess.aggravated, be thought, br such a course, while the licentiousness of the Press was likely to be corrected, at the same time the ends of justice could not be disappointed—(Herr). The Earl of CARNARVON, spoke against the . Bill. He excepted to it chiefly on the ground, that to meet a temporary inconvenience, a permanent measure was enacted by it. After some remarks, he declaied an intention of proposing in the Committee, that it should have but a short duration. He con cluded by desiring the House to consider the claims which posterity had upon them to hand down the Constitution inviolate. The Earl of BLESSINGTON said, that he viewed, with great jealousy, the measures before the House, 'because they proceeded from the Noble Secretary opposite. Their Lordships ought to Amor that Podia ment was not only assembled to protect the Govern meat of the Country, gni the nghts of the Prince Regent, but also those of the People, and to listen to the distinct expression of existing grievances, that they might be able the more certainly to relieve them—(Near, hear). The Duke of SUSSEX said, that until Ministers had shewn that the priesest' laws for the suppression of blasphemous and 'editions publications were in significant, he could not vote for new ones. His, Royal Highness observed, that he entirely agreed with t})m in the principles of the other Bills now before the House, but to this he would !live a decided negat i After a few-words from Lord HOLLAND, the Bill was ordered to be committed for to-morrow (this day), and the Report to be received on Thursday next. REARM FOR ARMS SILL. Upon the Motion ciflised Viscount' SIDMOUTH, for recetvink.4be Report of the Committee on the *arch for Arms Bill, Earl GREY rose to-make some observations upon the principle of the Bill. He observed, that the .power given by it to enter the houses of individuals, ht night, in search of - arms; was very exceptional:oW ;Weed. It was the right of every British subject to' keep arms by him, as well for the protection of hie life and property against plunderers and assassins, its also to resist oppression. There was not evidence, enough, he contended, to warrant such a measure as this.' He denied that people in the country, with *born he was acquainted, were in possession of arms - the puhrse stated, of levying war against the though perhaps it was true that they laving retained them since they had volunteers. With regard to the state -1 by a Noble Duke and a Noble Earl in the other night, respecting a relative of his he was not then in his place, but he ascertained .that his brother, - certainly left the village and since that the alatm The - Noble Lord Newcastle could the whole population chl4qw,_ did not added, that a very postal is ill lifoot -nn/T-amangst those who also the better . repoOlkat 1-00,000 .se, about Carlin whole populat 100,000 transactions, had unknowingly or measure. bring hituseff e=Alinisters Wish instrument of oppression such insufficient grounds. - It was not those whom it was directed, that it would operate Jpon, as, in the time which must elapse before the Bill pass ed: into a law, the disaffected would have time to remove them ; whereat those who kept.them by thetn for good and constitutional purposes, would alone a injured, as having no suspicion (Hear, hear). The Earl of STRATHMORE said, he had had Iletter from awo Magistrates of the County of Dur ham, to whom Colonel French, the Military Com mander there, had applied for an additional armed force to suppress the rising which be dreaded. colo nel French's letter was also inclosed, it being ,ad: dressed to Adam Askew, Esq. and Mr. Collinson, Chairman, Btc. and expressed an apprehension that the whole populatidn was disaffected. He also read a letter, which, speaking of the Radicals, said, that l out of every 14,000 of them, 13,900 had no other object than universal plunder : " Dolls instrnetas et arte Pelasga!" These accounts, with the papers on the table, andthei fit'ct of arms being in the hands of lo many inslividgals, were a sufficient warrant for the measures •JIGWINAKe' ;the Holise. In regard to the Noble Earl's bretborp he observed, that it did not appear he had yet re- . turned to his house, which was a proof that he did not think the alarm had entirely subsided. His Lordship concluded with hoping that he might never have to say, in the language of the Poet, in quoting which he would take the liberty of substituting a word— " $i teens non lax/thaws, d Anglia mine stares !" The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND explained the sources from whence he had the information upon which he had made tke statement on a former night. igarl GREY said,.be must have factsand proofs before he could believe that the People wished to sub. vert the Government, or to destroy the State; and the 4 could be obtained only through inquiry. The Earl of STRATHMORE said, that this spirit prevailed on both sides the River. Lord ERSIUWE objected to this Bill, prinFipally on the ground that a person could have no redress, against any one injuring him in a search for arms, by an action at law. The Report was agreed to, ind the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (this day). ' ' TRAINING PRIVILNTION RILL. The Report on the Training 'prevention Bill w also received, and the Bill was ordered to he iead a third time to-morrow (this day). The House then adjouined at Eleven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. CURWEN presented a Petition from certain Persons, foreigners, praying for leave to present a Petition to bring in a Bill for the creating a Company for cartying Into effect a Plan, which is to prevent the respiration of noxious Air in Hospitals, and large Towns.- Laid on the Table.—A Committee snarap.. pointed to examine the matter of the Petition.
