No accident whatever ad occurred through mismanagement of the Steam vessels on the Clyde : though it was certain that a fatal accident had happened near Norwich; through some deficiency of skill- perhaps. The probability of mischief depended considerably on the choice of pro • per Engines. He did not see the necessity of making any•law on the subject, and he wished the Hohour able Member to desit from legislating upon it.— He moved that the Bill be committed on that day three months. Mr. HARVEY (who brought in the Bill) said, that notwithstanding what had been stated of the superior skill shewn in the Steam-sesseis on the Clyde, there had been evidence sufficient produced before the Committee, to chew the propriety of a measure to prevent the repetition of such accidents as had occurred. On a similar principle, Parliament had regulated the arrangements - of Stage-coaches, &c. Under all the considerations, he trusted the Ilouse would allow the Bill to proceed. Mr. K. FINLAY said, that under the circum stances he should take the sense of the House on a future proper occasion. The Amendment was-nega tived. The Bill went through, a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. Theßeport of the Committee of Supply was brought up, and -he sums of 13,5001. for Dr. Burney's Li-, brary, of 1,500,00D1. for Extraordinary Expellees of the Army, and of 50,0001. for the same service in Ireland, were agreed to. The remainder of the Re solutions were then agreed to. SCOTCH BURGHS. Sir RONALD FERGUSSON seeing a Learned Lord at the head of the law department in Scotland, in his place, took this opportunity of moving for leave to present a Petition from the Burgh of Dun fermline. relative to the regulation of the Funds in • Royal Burghs. The Petitioners, he observed, had expresse.l their sentiments in such mo lerate terms, that the/most timid Gentleman in the House would not be alarmed at the language of their Petition.— He should now merely move that it be brought up and read. The Petitioners expressed their hostility to the doctrine of Universal Suffrage, but enlarged on the necessity of a Reform in the Royal Burghs, .ind prayed that the Bill introduced by the Lord-Ad vocate might not pass into a law. The Honourable baronet then moved, that the Petition do lie on ,the ' table, and that it be printed, both which motions Vote agreed to, BANK RESTRICTIONS. Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS rose to give notice, that it was his intention to propose that to a n woicls should be introduced into the preamble of the Bill for continuing the Bank Restrictions, instead of the words which now stood there ; butt as he wished to consult the convenience of the House, he begged to a'sk what stage of the Bill would be most proper for his motion ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped that the Ilouse would allow the Bill to pass through a Committee pro forma. He would then propose such a preamble as he conceived to be proper, and when the Report was brought up, if any Ho nourable Gentleman thought a different preamble ht to be adopted, he might then move it. Mr. J. P. GRANT observed, that the general ac count of income and. expenditure which had been , laid before the House had been lately withdrawn, and, therefore, he now wished to know when they might receive it again. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was perfectly true that the account had been with drawn, as certain estimates from Iceland had not ar rived; but it would he completed in a very short time, and laid before the House. MOTION TO DISCHARGE THOMAS TERGUSSON PROM NEWDATE. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, he rose to move for the discharge of Thomas Fergusson, seho had been commuted to prison by the House, for an at tempt to influence the vote of a Freeholder, on the approach of an election. It was impossible not to criesider the treatrmat of that man, on't of gross in justice, when 0r..: called to mind the course and result of the proceedings on an occasion something similar, in which a Noble Lord opposite (Lord Castlereagh) hid beea concerned. At the time when the motion he alluded to against that Noble Lord had been brought forward, it would have become the character of the House to skew a resolution to maintain their own privileges against whoever might transgress them—to treat high and low with the same impar tiality. If such had been the conduct of the House, little room for complaint would exist now. But when they recollected what happened when the Noble Lord was chlnged with having endeavoured to procure a seat for a Gentleman in the most odious vay—by the exercise of India patronage—being, moreover, a Member of the India Board, constituted teprevent the abuse of patronage—the other person, for whom the influence was exercised, being also a Member of the same Board—when there were so many circumstances rendering that transaction so aggravated in its character, and pernicious in ite effects (for he both then and now thought that the Noble Lord's being a Minister was a heinous aggra vation of the offence)—when they bore these facts in mind. and the issue of them, they could scarcely say that the measure of justice dealt out to the two offen ders was equal. However, he was rot then anxious to Finish the Noble Lord s because he looked upon his offence to be not a very great one in a Nerd point e iview, though a more unconstitutional one could not exist. But it was the judgment of the House on that occasion that was' to be considered—and they came to a resolution, that as the proceeding by the Noble Lord had been only begun, and not completed, they did not think proper to adopt any definitive measure. Let them now torn to Fergusson's case—a case that did not contain the one-hundredth part of fhe guilt of the• Noble Lord's. The Noble Lord attempted to influence election by wholextile—to bargain for a seat. Fergusson only aimed at influencing a single vote— he had incuned qnly the minimum of guilt. Here was so scandalous abuse of patronage; besides, it was a case only just is embryo. Every reason for lenity that could apply to the case of the Noble Lord, would apply with tenfold force to that of Fergusson; yet the latter had beca brought from Scotland, and already subjected to a he.avipurdiunent. He woul d ! be glad to know the datinction in the two cases ; why this ponr individnal had been sentenced to im prisonment, while the Noble Lord was suffered to go free without any censure Bat subsequently to the transaction he had alluded to, the Noble Lord, with his colleague, Mr. Percevak was accused in the House of haviig connived at the absolute sale of a seat under the disposal of Government ; and Sir Henry Wellesley was proved to have actually receiv ed the price of it. That was noy all—for when the Member who had paid his money for the seat wished to vote in the-House according to the dictates of his conscience, he was told that he must, in honour, either vote for those by Means of whom he had got into Parliament, or resign—and the Member, in consequence, did resign. -Here was every aggravu tion—a corrupt purchase by money of a seat, with an implied obligation of voting agreeably to the wishes of Ministers. It appeared that in the opinion of certain persons, there was not only a Parliamen tary language, but a Parliamentary conscience—,the former allowing to say, the latter to do any thing.— The purchasing Member, however, did not recognise this species of conscience, and resigned his seat.— Here was a case of corruption complete, and carried through all its parts. What was said then upon that affair being brought before the House ? Why, Ho nourable Members got up in theirjgaces, and de clared the practice was as notorious as the sun at noon day, as common as the streets of the metropolis. With such practical illustrations of the way in which that House was composed—after the various descriptions of the undue means generally used for admission into that House,. and with particular force in that Petition which has been lying on thejable for five and-twenty years, stating, and offering to prove, that the Crown, either directly or indirectly, returned a large proportion of the Members of that House, and that no inconsiderable part of it consisted of men ne cessarily and naturally attached to the interests of the Peers—it was too hard that art unfriended indi vidual should undergo •severity of punishment, on pretence of sullying theprity that did not belong to the House, while Ministers practised much more aggravated offences with perfect impunity—(hear. hear). But it seemed that robe of purity could be thrown off, and put on again, according to conveni ence. Did they think the people were so blind that they would look at this case with any other feelings than those of indignation, as - he did? The transac tion reminded him of the fable, in which the beasts of the forests were made to assemble, in order to discover the cause that excited the vengeance of, HEAVEN hi inflicting a contagious malady which' had committed temble ravages among them. The lion came forward and sai&--" It is true, I have put a few animals to death to satisfy my hunger, but surely that cannot be the cause." The bear, the wolf, &c. made similar declarations, and were all acquitted by acclamation. At length the ass came into the assembly, and, with fear and trembling, confessed that he had stolen some cabbages, upon which all the beasts together cried out, that, un doubtedly, he was the criminal—(hear, hear, and laughter). It was in vain for that House to talk of preserving its character—that was gone long since, ' , and it was impossible to have been otherwise— " Thieves for stealing have authority, • When Judges steal tiienuelve3!" Ministers themselves carried on the transactions for which Fergusson was imprisoned, and, when disco vered, were defended. If the Noble Lord were suf fered to go free, why was Fergusson to be punished? The latter might state that he knew there were laws against what he had attempted to do, but that now the House of Commons had put a very different construction on those laws. He might say, the House of Commons have declared that these laws are obsolete—they are not to be put in force : how, then, can they take offence at my conduct ? For his own part, he could not understand how Fer gusson, who had followed the eiample of the Noble Lord, but followed him " hoard pass us acwis," should be punished, while the Noble Lord himself had been so fully protected. He should not then detain the House any longer. This case lay in a very narrow compass indeed, and therefore he should conclude by moving—" That Thomas Fergusson be discharged forthwith."—The question haying been put, Lord CASTLEREAGH said he should not have risen on this occasion, were it not that the speech of the Honourable Baronet was so much addressed to him. As he did not know all the circumstances of the case of the individual to whom the motion allu ded, not having been present at the Committee of Privileges which had inquired into it, he should not enter into the discussion on that case. But it was very plain that the Honourable Baronet did not bring forward this motion eut of any tenderness to Mr. Fergusson, but with a view to serve that purpose, so common with the Honourable Baronet, who never omitted any occasion of bringing forward any tl:ir.g in past transactions which he thought could turn against the dignity of Parliament, and to degrade it in the eyes of the nation—(Hear, hear, bier!) He had uniformly- observed, that whenever there hap pened to be any Meeting out of doors in which the Honourable Baronet did not fill that space in the public eye which he was wont to do on such occa sions, he endeavoured to restore himself in the good opinion of those tuorthy characters, in whose estima tion he had fallen, by some corresponding effort against tl:e Constitution within the doors of Parlia ment—(hear,hear!) For his own part, no feeling of soreness at the attack of the Honourable Baronet should induce him to enter into the consideration o: a question on which the House hail already decided.' And as to the present question, he would leave it to the decision of the House, and of those who v•ere pre sent on. the Committee to whom tl-e examira:ion of that case was entrusted. Bait he apprehended that' the Honourable Baronet would not he more success ful on the present occasion that on the tr.any ()tilers in which he had endeavoured to destroy the Consti- I tution, and to lower the dignity of Parliament.— (Hear, Hear, Hear!) Mr. C. W. WYNNE.—The House was, by the present motion, called upon to rescind what it had already done ; not because what it had done was wrong—not becgusk the individual in question did not deserve punishment—but because in a certain case, trine years ago, the House of Commons had re • glected to do its duty—(hear, hear)--not because the present Parliament had neglected its duty, but be cause of what had been done by a former Parliament (hear, hear !) With respect to theVa.:e alluded to by. the Honourable Baronet, which had occurred in the year 1809, he (Mr. Wynne) hid not agreed to what was then decided on—he had voted with the minority, who wished for further proceedings in that case; but the House decided not to proceed farther. Whether that decision was a precedent to be followed or to be avoided, was a very fit subject for consideration; but was it to be said, because one Parliament had ne glected its duty, that future Parliaments should nut return to theirs ?—(hear, hear) Of the present case the Honourable Baronet had said nothing. When that case was under discussion, he did not think it of sufficient consequence to take part in the debate, or even to come down to the House; but a week after the decision of the House, the Honourable Baronet came down, and, without any notice, brought for ward the present motion. What had been the pro. ceedings in 1809? Was the Noble Lord's offence passed over without censure? No; the Noble Lord had been censured: and such an effect had the case produced upon the House, that in the very next Ses sion an Act was passed for the specific purpose of preventing cases of such interference in elections.— Until that Act was passed, there was some doubt in point of law as to the criminality of such proceed ings. As to the other case in 1810, it occurred while the Act he had mentioned was passing through the House. To the decision of the House on that case he was not a party ; but the House decided, that as they were then passing a declaratory Act, they should not act retrospectively, for the purpose of including that case, but would provide stronger securities for the future. It was therefore impossible that the house could have passed over the case of Fergusson, which had occurred so long after the Act was passed. He was persuaded the House would era listen to the motion of the Honourable Baronet on such grounds as had been brought forward. If Mr. heignsson ex pected any remission of his tinishment, the proper coarse for him to pursue was, to petition the I louse that he might be discharged. Colonel WOOD was surprised tint the Honour able Baronet, of all men in the House, should venture to make attacks upon any other Member on the sub ject of improper conduct at elections. Had the Ho nourable Baronet forgot his contest for the County of ? Had he forgot that he brought forward three hundred millers_to vote as -freeholders lila mill which was not even built ? Had he forgot that the Sheriffs had censured him for this conduct, and that the House decided that the election was void? Af-' tenvards• the Honourable Baronet had another elec tion, where he say there was more universal suffrage practised than had ever - been known on any former occasion—where the cases were so gross that the Attorney-General was obliged to prosecute for perjuries, and that the second election was in conse quence declared void? A third election followed, at which all the artifices of the Honourable Baronet were exposed and exploded, and the result was, that the Honourable Baronet lost his election, having only eight hundred fair votes, while his opponent had three thousand. Mr. BRAND regretted that any personalities had been introduced into this debate. He regretted that his honourable Friend who brought forward the mo tion had made any personal allusions, though they were very slight—(Laughter.) He found it impos sible to vote for the present motion. In consistency with his coaduct in the cases of 1809 and 1810, when he had voted for farther proceedings, he felt it his duty to oppose this motion. How those who had re jected those motions on the former case: could reject the present motion, it was not for him to say.. Mr. CCRWEN wished that the law was more ex press in providing a punishment for the very offetice of which Fergusson had been guilty. Sir tR.‘NCIS BURDETI replied. He <hould confine himself to a very few observations. Insinua tions had been made to what had never once entered his mind. He should not occupy the House with re marking on the speech of the Noble Lord, for he had said very little on the subject. With regard to the Middlesex Elections, no man, he believed, had less reason than himself to forget ;hem. He had twice undergone the remedy which the House employed in such cases,..and, for a third time, he might say, it was quite out óf his power for him to undergo that re medy again---(hear,hgar.)—As tothe mill votes which had been mentioned, it had - been contended with much ingenuity in the Committee at the time that they were good votes a and how had the Committee go: rid of the difficulty ? not by deciding the ques tion, but by objecting that the voters had not been assessed to the Laud Tar, the year previous to the election—(hear.)--It had also been said that the Sheriff had been sent to Newgate for having made a partial return. That could net be the case, for he. had returned according to the majority on the poll, and it was net his duty to inquire into the validity of votes. The fact was, that he had returned a candi date that was not agreeable to Government—(hear, hesr).—The next time he had returned a ministerial candidate against the majority on the poll, and of course had not been sent to Newgate—(Hear ' hear.) He admired the consistency of the Noble Lord and his Colleague in punishing the present case. It would be futile to suffer his motion to go to a division ; for one set of men would have to vote against him from consistency ; and the other, in despite of the incon sistency, would vote against him • so that, between consistency and inconsistency, he should not press the motion. to the vote--(hear, hear, hear.—The motion \VJ. thou negatived without a division. and t: on end 'vac toot • 3 that sho for 'vol con aSk his . . hop thr( pro • aad HOU oUi cou laid and it al drat rive term S far beet tcm app' critsi justi of t 1 bid he brat of t 1 own then trali Ent whe to p vay mot urp for Met mat ag etre Nol vat' • TTIiT tha der to ] his 1 ?" 1 esi occ to 120 dic Le did of I inf Fel he tO 11 1 car tha wo yet • \, / 'I • . - ALIZNa. Lo:d CASTLEItE.WH, in rising pursuant to his notice, should not enter at lax ei tnto the merits of a question which had been so Wore the House, and so lately discussed. He was aware, that when ever the subject had been brought forward, it had excited a strong feeling and vehement opposition, and he was the last person who would blame the constitutional jealousy with which the House re garded the liberty of the subject, and that of fo retgners who came here, and who should be [rented with due hospitality-. The first duty, however, was, to consider the public security. Government should have the means of taking p precautions again s t ill-intentioaed foreigners, a r tr rospitality should not be pushed so far, in his opinion at least, as to subject them to no other controul than that of the ordiu.o y laws.
