ADAMS stated, that though the witness was in a state of intoxication, •he had given his evi dence in a clear and intelligible manner. - - Mr. WHITBREAD stated, that the •videttee, if left on the minutes, would-spenk for itself. • • Mr. SUMNER, acceding to the propositiOn of the Right Honourable Gentleman (the Chancellorof the Exchequer,) begged leave to withdraw his motion: The CHANCELLOR . of the EXCHEQUER ob, served, that the Committee was in a state' in which they ought to decide whether the evidence was or was not to be allowed to *main without some particular notice upon the Minutes. It the witness was compe tent to give consistent and satisfactory evidence, he should not have been ordered from the Bar whilst un der examination by a Member ; and if he was in. such a state as to require his being removed from the Bar, then his evidence ought not to be suffered to remain on the Minutes without the entry which he had sug gested. Besides, if it appeared that he was drunk when he received the summons to attend, he could net he punished for disrespect to the House; not hay...! in.; had time to sober himsey since,yloud lauglater.) .'Colonel VEREKER contended, that it was ob vious to every Member about the Bar, that the wit ness was in a state of intoxication. In such a state his testimony would not be admitted in any Court of. Justice, and ought not therefore to be admitted 'in that, the highest judicial tribunal. Mr. ELLISON.—If ever he had known anything of the rules of evidence, he had lost it since the com mencement of this inquiry. It had been said that the witness was drunk, but that he could not observe. — The witness had not given - as flippant answers as other witnesses had, who had not. been Inspected of being drunk. At all events, it %Yas beneath the dignity of , the House, whose conduct was flow before - the coml.. try, to take any notice of the circumstance. Admiral HERVEY had attended to the evidence, and the %violets did not appear to him to be-in a state to preclude him from giving testimony: The CHANCELLOR .of the EXCHEQUER observed that, if it Was the opinion of the Committee that the 'witness was not intoxicated, he ought not to have been ordered •to withdraw before he had been fully examined. • Mr. DENNIS BROWNE argued, that the Witness either was drink, or •he was not drunk ;—(a laugh.) if he was drunk, his evidence ought to be expunged ; if not, he ought to be again eiamnicd: Mr. FULLER, as there seemed to be such a va riety of opinions on the subject of the state of the wit ness, thought that the best way would be to-have him in again, and thus to give him fair Pl:ty. (r/laugh.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rpeated, that if the Committee was agreed that the man was not drunk, he ought to be called in to have his examination finished: Mr. BATHURST said, that if the witness was to be called in again, he should be examined only as to his previous sobriety, without adverting to what he might have drank since he withdrew. Mr. BLIGH stated, that if the witness shcnld be called in aenin, he would put the same question to him as lie . had done before. Witness called in and examined* Mr. Et,imr. Q.

On the question being put that Mrs. Favourite be -, I.7MNER expressed his stsrpri•.e that the Cc,:i.n . ;;tt.2e had not resorted to some proceeding on I;.e , ,n;y. , ,estion of the Honourable Member. ( Hear ! ) At all events, if it was the opinion of the (f.nrlittee that the witness was drunk, be was of n that his evidence ought to be expunged from '•ir. BATHURST admitted that it must have to every Gentleman, particularly th. st near the bar, that the witness had taken more than he ought. but he - had given his evidence my as any other witness who had been exa *•: :1.2d at the bar ; and he thought it beneath the dig of th:: House to take any notice of the state in hu was. ;:ITMNER then moved, that the evidence of ,• .st witness be expunged from the minutes.
