The SPEAKER-4. I beg lave to call the atten tion of the House to a letter which I have just now rectivt.d. addressed to me, and signed • Wm. Jones, Marshal of the King's Bench prison'." (Mar, hear.) • . The SPEAKER then read the following letter : " Lobby of the Howe of Commons, March 21,1413. " Sit-4 beg leave to Inform you, that having received infnr mri tttt that Lord Cochrane who had made his escape from my eustudy s to tht Kt Is'A Itt n:h w.ti in the H new of C motet, between twn and three n'cice:k this day. I tilt it my dory in take bim Into comely, end to convey him hick to the King's Bench. lam now waiting to know, wheeler. in the ovini.Lt of the House, I have acted improperly—an I 1 will he obl . . . you to scare to the House what I have dour. I hope I have not committed any breach of the privileges of the House; t I have, it originattd iu an error In judgment, and did not arise from any wish to give offence." _ _ The SPEAKER—" Under these circumstances, any Honourable Member may suggest to the House the courte of proceeding which he conceives ought to he adopted." Lord CASTLEREAGH...m. 4 e From the nature of the arrest, and the circumstances attending it, I do not think, Sir, that the House is called upon to inter. fere. lam not aware, as the House was not actu ally sitting, with the mace on the table, and the Speaker 1046 e Astir, when the arrest took place, that any breach of privilege has been committed.— But, if any Gentleman .entertains a doubt on the subject—if any Gentleman conceives the privileges of the House to have been violated—then it is pr 'per that a due degree of jealousy should be manifest,d— and thatran enquiry into the circumstances should Le instituted.—(ifear, hear.).—lt is not, however, in. cumbent on me to propose that enquiry —for, as tar I as I can judge, our privileges cannot be affected by any occurrence which may take place in the cliAmher appropriated to the sittings of the Commons of the realm, whit they are not regularly assembled there. On one point, I think, there can be no difference of opinion. It must be quite . obvious t 3 every man, that the Marshal has not acted wilfully in violation of the privileges of the House.— (Hear, hear.)—No blame can attack to him, since he has submitted himself to the judgment of the House of Commons, after having done that which he considered his duty as a civil officer. Having had Lord Cochrane in irs, custodr, from which he had eseap!d t the blarstsst was bound not to pass over any justinabie means•of putting him under arrest whenever a fair opportunity occurred. As far as the individual officer is concern ed, it is quite clear that lie acted from a sense of duty ; and that it is only necessity for him to know what the privileges of Parliament are, to act in con formity itlt them on any future occasion." Mr. C. W. WYNNE—" Sir, it certainly appears to me that the present arrest cannot be considered as a breach of the privileges of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) —Let us, in the first place, examine whether an ar rest of this peculiar description could be prevented by Parliamentary privilege. I do not know under what circumstances any Member of this House is privileged from arrest, having broken prison, where he had been confined, in cousequence of a regular conviction. I cannot conceive how an • arrest, in consequence could be opposed. Now what arc the 1 circumstances attending the arrest of the Noble Lord : He was taken on one of the benches of the House, the House not being then regularly sitting. This unlit be considered in exactly the same light as if he ' were arrested in his way down to the House ; and it cannot be maintained, that the privilege of a Mem ber of Parliament would, in his peculiar case, pro tect him in his transit. The only other point to be considered is, the entrance of a peace officer, or of any other person, who has no right to come here, but by the permission of the House. Undoubtedly, if :thy officer, acting under a warrant, or any other authority, catered the House without having received its previous permission, I should hold that to be the highest breach of its privilege that could be commit ted, and it should not be suffered to pass unpunished. But, Sir, this applies only to the House when sitting, and not to the place in which we usually assemble. These walls arc not peculiarly appropriated to our use. If, at half-past three o'clock, this day, a mes sage from the Throne came down, directing us to meet, not in this House, but, for instance, in the Painted Clamber, or in any apartment in the King's, Palace, we must proceed thither; for we assemble here only under the writ calling on us to meet in Westminster—and therefore, Sir, I do not think that any privilege is attached merely to these wall , . If it were otherwise. that privilege would be available in the case of any stranger. Any mass coming within these walls, guilty of an o ff ence against the laws, and sitting himself down, would be placed exactly in the same situation as the Noble Lord. If the House were sitting, he would, of course, be ordered out, and he might then be taken ; but if he Caine in here when the House was not sitting, he could see nothing peculiar in the place which was used for their assem bling in, that could privilege him from arrest. It appears to me, that the Noble Lord could only be considered as coming down to take his place—and in that case, I know not of any privilege that could exempt him from this particular species of arrest. If, however, any Gentleman has serious doubts on this question, the regular course would be, to refer the letter to a Committee of Privileges—because, in a case of this kind, if any difference of opinion exists, the greatest attention ought to be paid to the perfect exam nation of all its circumstances. Mr. r [ERNE Sir, I perfectly agree in the sentiments 61 Me able Lotd, with tweet to thi PRICE SIXPENCE-lIA LFIII:NNY. - ,.ter_,..:. - ~::; conduct of the Marshal of the King's Benda Prisons cn this occasion. He c,otainly has sheen no disposi tion to co:nmit any offence :!gainst the privileges of the House, and he has taken the earliest opportunity to strte what be has done. But, Sir, Ido nut agree with the Noble Lord in thinking, that this e pre. seuts no circenictances that deserve to he farther looked into. We are told that Lord Cochrane has broken prison. AS a private individual I may know as a r*::•Mher of Parliament. I am igno rant of it. I know that Lord Cochrane was con victed, because the record of that conviction was laid before us ; but I do not know whether he did not afterwards n:ceive a full pardon. I consider this to he the case :I a Member regularly elected to serve in Parliament, and Coming down to take his seat. Now, Sir, the Moose is rt-gsilqtly aojourned until 10 o'clock hi the morning —and I recollect one occasi"n, when the Speaker did take the Chair at that hour. Suppose, then, a Memher. about to take ids seat, c ime down hem at an early hour, with the proper d. cumeets in his hand, and desired to he instrocted in the u.o:fe of proceeding—and, while waith:g, an officer entered, arrested him, and took his person away, woisiO not this be a ease to call for the interference of the H use I know the individual who has arrested Lord emit. rave has not manifested any wish to conceal the cir cumstance. But it might be the other stay. Some persons might desire, from shOster motia:ei, to arrest a Member of this House under these circumstances. I do not think, therefore, that the case is quite such a matter of course as the Wale Lord has stated. Unless, Sir, I hid your authority, which would weigh much with me, that the case was not such as called for investigation, I shoul.l wish that the House would institute some proceeding on the subject—not against the Marshal of the King's Bench, whose con duct appears to be open and candid—but to prevent the circumstance from being drawn into a precedent on some future occasion, where the principles that day laid down, might be made use of for an impro. I cor fess I feel this matter to be very new to us aii. It: the sl , ort time which has darted, since it occurred, i Irtre given it all the attention 1 could. and on particehe carts of the case, I have very little doubts. I :he Mar shal, 'inchr t'se circumstances which occasioned him to act, is not likely to fall under the displeasure of this House. —(Haar.)--L an, also of opinion, that the individual who came into this building, at an hour when the House was not sitting, could claim no special protection from the place in which be then was. But I think it also appears equally clear, that he was legally returned to Parliament, and that he came down, in order to go through the necessary krms, and to take his rest . %Vhateeer may be the toondi of Inqniey, we ought to refer the matter to a Committee of Privileges, to see whether or not any foundation exists fair a complaint of breach of privilege. This will be found the safer course—and, if k be thought necessary, we are at libel ty to adopt it.'i Lord CASTLEREAGIidi I stated, when beiore addressed the House, that if it doubt arose iii the m;nctoi any Genii man, it would be ci.;i po tent for him to submit a motion on the subject.— As a doubt his been expressed, and very properly expressed, I think it right that some proceeding should b. adopted. Indeed, even if lessdoubt were expressed, the jealousy with which any thing like an infraction of our privileges ought to be viewed, would render some proceeding necessary. I, there , fore, move— " hat the letter now in your hand, and the matter thereof, be referred to a Commiuet tit PrivilcaLs, to consider the saute, and report thereon to the House." On the question being put ty Mr. BENNET rose and said—cc Sir, I have just come front examining, as one of the Committee, ap pointed for that purpose, the state of the King's Bench Prison. I found Lord Cochrane confined there, in a strong room, fourteen feet square, with out fire, table, or bed. Ido not think it is necessa ry, for the purposes of security, to confine him is this manner. Accordin,r, to my own feelings, it is a place unfit for the Noble Lord, or any other person." Mr. BOOTLE WILBRATIAM--“ When Lord Cochrane was v sited, not more than half an hour had elapsed from the time of his arrest, and perhaps the Marshal had not time to select that situation in the prison which would be sufficiently secure, and at the same time proper for his Lordship's accommo dation. I trust and hope, it is not the intention of the Marshal to keep the N9ble. Lord in the place de scribed by the Hon. Gentleman. I particularly rise to suggest, whether it v:ould not answer every pur pose, and save considerable trouble, if the Marshal were called in, and asked, whether the sentence of the Noble Lord had expired—or whether he had received his Majesty's pardon ? This, I conceive, would clear the way for any subsequent proceeding." The SPEAKER- 4, We have before us the record of conviction, and the sentence of imprisonment for twelve months. Whether this was done away in any other manner than by suffering the penalty, admits of proof. The Marshal has however told us, that the Noble Lord escaped from his custody. It remains for the party complaining of breach of privilege to disprove the assertion." Lord CASTLERE4GH" A question still re mains behind for consideration, nanteiy, whether the privileges, generally, of this House have not been in fringed by the arrest of a Member ?" The motion WAS then agreed to, anti the Commit tee appointed to, sit to-morrow at twelve o'clock. On the motion of Sir C. MGNCK, an account was ordered of Oak Timber • offered for sale to the Navy Board timing seven years past, specifying what had been: refused. . Sir JOHN NEWPORT .gave notice for that day three weeks, of a 'notion respecting an act of Lords of Session in Scotland, of the 14th of February, in ;* contravention o a ct of l'alliainent.—Adjourned. .4 • 4 •f CONGRESS AT VIENNA. The Marquis of WELLESLEY was desirous to leant from the Noble Eat) opposite (Liverpool) whe. ther it was intended by his Majesty's Ministers to communicate to that House, any information relative to the proceedings of the Congress at Vienna. The situation of affairs, as they then presented themselves in the centre of Europe, amounted to a magnitude of importance unequalled in the history of the world ; and he trusted that at such a period there would be no unwillingness, on the part of his. Majesty's Go vernment, to give all proper information to the House. s ll3e Earl of LIVERPOOL felt the greatest dispo sition to impart to the House every degree of infor mation which he onold give consistently with the public safety, and the due attention to engagements yet depending. SOMi minute piste, particularly relative to Genoa, he might not be prepared to state; but enough he trusted might be produced for the sa tisfaction of the House. _ _ _ _ _ Atter a few observations from the Marquis of fimentottast, is was agreed that the Papers required should be presented soon after the recess. BANK RESTRICTION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in moving for the third reading of the Bank Restriction Bill, observed, that he believeitthere could be little difference of opi nion among their Lordships, as to the propriety or expediency. of that Bill, at the present moment. The necessity which at fint imposed the restriction was dee* to be deplored; but under the circumstances of the times it could not be alsoided. It was, how ever, a temporary expedient, and every consideration :Aggested the propriety and the necessity of taking off the restriction as soon as possible. Ttie proceed ings of Parliament in the last Session were in their Lurdships' recollection, and no difference with respect to the policy of the measure could since have occurred. The public credit was deeply and of unavoidable 'ne cessity engaged to a vast amount in 1814, to no less a sum than thirteen millions. Yet, even under those circumstances, such was the credit at which the coun try stool, 'that the general balance of Exchange, particularly at Hamburgh, was in our favour, and the value of bullion had materially fallen at home.— He did not feel himself warranted to give a specific pledge, that the payments in cash would commence at the period suggested, yet, upon the most deliberate refLction, he saw no reason for postponing the period of such anticipated payment. Lord GRENVILLE had not, indeed, entertained a hope that the payments in cash at the Bank would be speedily renewed. The extraordinary occurtences which had taken place, and were still taking place, unhappily prevented him from indulging in any such pleasing speculation. nut he was anxious then, as he had always been, even from the first, that some regular Parliamentary enquiry should be instituted to ascertain the propriety, or jiistny the expediency of the measure which had been adopted. As he had ardently wished, so he had confidently expected, that the period for that enquiry had arrived. Circum stances, however, which lie deeply deplored, had oc curred, which abated the confidence which he had entertained of the durati, aof peace. He should not, however, oppose the motion for the third reading. The Earl of LAUDERDALE spoke on the same side, strenuously insisting on the necessity of a solemn and strict Parliamentary inquiry, which should either prove to the public, by its result, that cash payments ought directly to be made, or shewiog satisfactory reasons why they were not made. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no desire to enter into any minute enquiry on the subject, or to distinguish accurately between the separate interests of the Government and the Bank ; but tie held it as his incumbent duty to protest against the measure in tato, unless it was understood that the Bank shc.uld take steps to secure, in proper and prescribed time, the fulfilment of their duty in paying their bills in money. He was particularly anxious that effectual measures should be taken by the Legislature to re move from the Bank Directors the danger of tempta tion, by which they were supposed to have it in their poser, at once to enrich themselves, and and im -is!, the people poveriL The Dill was then read the third time and passed.
