Mr. Mammies SUTTON having called the atten tion of the Houfe to the claims of his Royal High. nefs the Prince of Wales to the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall fince his birth, addrefred the Chair to the following effea— , 4 Sir, I rife in con fequence of the notice which I have given, and in order to difcharge the duty, to the performance of which I have pledged myfelf, to propofe that the ' Houfe fbould enter into an examination of the ac counts of the Prince of Wales, refpeaing the fums due to him from his revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall. Although fatisfied as I have reafon to be, with the force oithe arguments upon which the claims of his Royal Highnefs are founded, and feeling as I do, great confidence in the ju ft ice of thefe claims, and in the deci fi on of the Houfe ; yet I am not fo vain as to think that no informa tion is neceffary in addition to that which has been already advanced upon a fubjea of fo much con cern, in which the interefts of the Prince and of the public are equally implicated. I haie,'Sir, up. on a former occafion, Rated Tome circumftances which were not unfavourably received, and it is now my duty to go more at length into the grounds by which the rights of the Prince of Wales may be belt maintained. I am thankful to the Houfe for the attention and indulgence with which I was heard, at the moment to which I allude, and the only return I think rnyfelf enabled to make, is to endeavour to be as wort as poffible in the obferva tions I have to fubmit. It is necelTary to premife that the objet of my motion goes to the appoint ment of a Committee, for enquiring into, and af certaining what Rims have been received, and by whom, from the revenues of the Duchy of Corn wall, from the birth of his Royal 'Highnefs the Prince of Wales, to his coming of age, and in what way, or in what . part or parts they have been applied ? and alto for the purpofe of afcertaining the amount of the fums advanced to his Royal Highnefs from the period of his coming of age, until the sth of June, r7og ? In fupporting tins motion, I do not feel much hefitation in contend ing. whatever appeal might be made to the Courts of Law, or whatever decifions may have previouf ly taken place on fubjeas of this nature, that it is the province of Parliament to difcufs and deter mine the queftion which is thus brought forward for their confideration. There are two principal points which in my mind call for particular ex amination. The &it is whether the Prince is or is not entitled to the rums arifing from the revenues of Cornwall from the period already mentioned ? and the fecond, whether the public have, by the application of thefe funs, derived any benefit from them ? I (ball undertake to Rate, that the firit point is one which does not involve any nice or abftrufe queftion of law, and I hope I (hall be able to fatisfy the Houfe, that upon that head they can entertain no doubt whatever. The title of the Prince of Wales to the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, originated in a grant from King Edward HI. to his fon, the hlack Prince, and in the records of that grant it is exprefsly Rated that they were aligned to him for the maintenance of the dignity attached to his birth. It recognized molt explicitly the inveitment of the revenues of the Duchy in the perfon of the eldeft urn of the King—fo born he was undoubtedl y entitled to them, and his claims to the property were eftabli (Ind from the hour of his birth. I mutt however obferve, that the King is entitled to manage the produce of the revenues until the Prince attains his full age ; but I with to be clearly underftood in raying, that the prefent queltion is by no means one which lies between his Majetty and the Prince. The King has not received any of the revenues, nor have they in any refpea been applied to his ufe ; but if they had, I think it my duty to remark, that neither I nor any other perfon would have been permitted to agitate the queftion here or elle where. I underfland, that doubts have been enter tained with refried to the juftice of the claims for which I am an advocate, by a Noble and learned friend of mine in the other Boat, and by another learned friend They have, Sir, I am hap. py to fay, Ratted doubts cinly. If it be maintain. ed that the King is entitled to receive the reve nues during the infancy of the Prince without ren dering an account of the diffiurfements and appli cation of inch rums, I have to ()Verve in anfNer, that no fuels doctrine or practice was kno'wn or re forted to even in gitard;anfhip in chivalry. Ani fhould my alfertion he found incnrreCt in that te epee, it would be funicient for my purpole to Hate that the whole of that feudal fyilem teas abolilhed by the At of Charles 11. Again, if any prero gative of the Crown be let up, it mull ante out of the grant; but here I (hall end e avo ur to th ew , tint no filch right can be eltabliffied from the experi ence of many fucceilive reigns. The Biotic Prince continued in poileflion of the Duchy of Cornwall and all its revenues and profits for eorty years,and his Ibis Richard had afterwards livery of polTerlion. Henry IV. when his eldeft fon was but ten years' of age, alto ave to the P ri nce livery ef poireftion.' But the mo lt material circumftances in favour of the claims will he foitnd to have occurred in the reign of Henry VI. During that reign, and from the year 1 f 53 to 1455, an Mt of Parliament was palled in the fourteenth year of the Prince of Wales, granting, after the application of a certain part of the revenues to the maintenance of the. Prince, the refidue to be difpnfed of for the benefit of his Maj efty's Houfehold ; but loon af te r, i n 1459, a Petition was prefented by the Prince's Council, aliening Lis , Royal Highnefs's right to the enjoyment oldie revenues from his birth, and calling for livery as abfolute and ample as any that had been given to hispredeceffers. This was called a Petition of Right, and I beg, Sir, to aflc, what is the inference to be drawn from this pucedent ? The dedudion is plain and undeniable; that the King 'poirelfed no right by his prerogative, or if he did, it may be demanded why he complied witla the object of the Petition which fct the right at de fiance ? Thus, Sir, I hope I (hall not be thought prefumptuous in raying that we have fufficrent proof that the eldeft fon of the Kin " is entitled, from the moment of his birth, to all the profits and revenues arifing out ofslte Duchy of Cornwall, and that the claim has been famdioned by the de cifion of Parliament. In the next reign, in the year 147 z, We learn that Edward the Fourthgrant. ed livery of poireffion of the Duchy of Cornwall to his eldeli fon, then only eight years old, and the patent vetting in the Prince the dignity and rive. nues recognized his title to them in the fullelt fettle which can fat* the molt fctupulous mind; while it mutt' not be palled over that the grant was rad: fled by the Lords and Commons. ‘Ve next come to the reign of Henry tb. Seventh, and here oar attention is arrelled by fart: which are in every point of view incontrovertible. Prince Arthur was born in 1486, and livery was given to him cagily in the fame terms, and conaituting the Prince of age with refine to the Duchy of Cornwall when born, .as folly as if he bad attained the age of 21. Upon this Chief Juftice Dodderidge remarks, that it (hewed the King was bound to make livery to the Prince, equalty as if he had reached his 2 tit year ; and that the title .if his Majefly to any ad vantages arifing from the DuchyofCornwall ceafail the moment the Piince of Wales was born. P r i n ts Henry, aftErwards Henry VIII. was on the fame principle put into poifeffion of the revenues, and was immediately, upon the death of Arthur, ad mitted into poiTeGion of the property of the Duchy. The fame courfe was purfued with I efped to Prince Edward, the fon of Henry the Eighth. During the reigns of Edward the Sixth, and Qt2eens Mary and Elizabeth, there was no Duke eat We now come to a reign in which (pule circum fiances very formidable to the claims which rhave the honour to fupport occurred, I mean that . James the Fiat, He was fora long time derti:s of retaining, for the tile of the Crown, the etre nues of the Duchy of Cot nwall ; yet he at length yielded to the jullice of the c tie, and granted li very to his eldeft fon, Prince Henry. iNhen that Prince died, and the Duke of York became Prince of Wales, fome teeth difficulties prefented felves, for James then Honed the quellion, that as he was not primogenitus, he was not entitled to the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall. It was, how. ever, folemnly decided to the contrary ; and the claim was cliablifhed. Paffing over Charles the Second, James the Second, King William, and Queen Anne, I now come to the prefent Family. iVhen King George the girft came to the thmne, his fon George the Second was thirty years of age. He nos admitted to the poffeffion, but no charter of livery took place. When King George the Se cond came to the throne, Frederick Prince of Wales was not quite of age, no charter of livery was made out ; but what is very remarkable, the Prince re• ceived an account of the funs due upon the reve nues from the Duchy of Cornwall during the time of his minority, to the moment he.came of age. In 1760, George the Third afcended the throne, and in 176 z, the Prince wasborn. From that ;p -liant his title to all the revenues of the Duchy com menced; and being born Duke of Cornwall, he was clearly entitled to e very advantage arifing from the right which he poilefled immediately upon his birth. • I have here to obferve, if any a& was no. ceilaty to carry that right into effect, that the Prince has been cruelly treated. His right has, however, been recognized by an Ad of Parliament paired in his prefent Majelty's reign when the Prince was only fix years old, for it WAS exprefsly made for the purpok of enabling his Maje ill' to grant 'cafes in the Duchy of Cornwall during his Royal Highnefs's minority. Finding therefore. Sir, all the legal declarations and proceedings from t he earliell period to the actual moment in whkb, have the lionortr of addreffing the noble; nitt , nly recogniaiag, but confirming hosed *sr •
