. . 'elected to serve in Parliament since the passing of the late Act. The Hon. Member at the table was, es he and all the House Pell knows, returned long lefori. the Passing of the Act, and therefore he can only refer to the law as it.iffected all persons returned to serve ,in Parliament before the alteration which has been lately . made. That alteration consisted in repealing the oath of supremacy and the declaration against transubstan lietien, leaving other particulars as they stood before. -.Under the former state of the law it was necessary that every Member, before entering the House, should take the'oaths of allegiance and supremacy before the Lord Steward or his Deputy, and aftetwards the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, in this House. The view which I take of the state of the law, before the late alterations, is confirmed by the uniform usage of the House, and by an express Act of Parliament.— This being my view of the law, it is my duty to state to the Hon. Gentleman that he cannot persevere in the course which he has adopted. and must, therefore, with . draw. I have had less hesitation in stating my view • of the case, because it cannot in any way prejudice the rights of the Hon. Gentleman, who will have tern ways of redressing any wrong which he may sustain. The first method is appealing to the House by way of peti tion ; the second is by entrusting his case into the hands of any Hon. Gentleman who is already , a full Member of the House, and who can bring the question on for discussion. For the present it is my duty, to state to the Hon. Member that he must withdraw. Mr. O'Connell then bowed to the Speaker, and re tired under the gallery. Mr. BROUGHAM immediately rose and said, that, however difficult he felt it to approach a question of so delicate a nature, yet he ventured to submit to the House whether, upon every principle of reason and jus tice, as well as upon the strictest usage of the House, the Hon. Gentleman who had just retired was not en-' titled to be beard at the table, and to acquaint the House from th nce with the objections which be enter tained to taking she oaths which had been tendered to him by the Cleik ? (Here there was considerable noise, and cries of st Order, order," •' Bar, bar," interrupted the Hon. Member for some time. Some Members called upon Mr. Brougham to speak loud. The Hon. and -Learned Member proceeded.) He had a great defe rence for the House, and was therefore anxious to make himself plainly heard; but the Hon. Gentlemen about the bar would perhaps perceive that to enable trim to succeed in that object it would be necessary that the Hon. Gentlemen should make rather less noise, and favour him with their silent attention. I understand, Sir ('aid Mr. Brougham, addressing the Speaker), that the difficulty in your mind. and which induced you to form the judgment which you have just pronounced, is, that it is generally understood that whilst a Member is at the table for the purpose of being sworn, all business in the house is to cease. If this position were not de nied, or were even doubtful, I am 'aware that during the continuance of the Honoorable Member for Clare at the table I should have been precluded from ad dressing the House even upon that question. But, now that the Hln. Gentleman has retired. I say, that; al though the House has received your construction of the law, and your opinion as to the peculiar position in • winch the H incurable Gentleman is 'placed upon the present occasion, yet we ought to exercise our own:dis cretion upon the subject, and recall the Honourable Member, for the purpose of stating his own case to the House. This proposition I state in regard to the prier `es of the House, and without meaning to depart in the sliehtest degree from the profound respect which I entertain for you, or from that deference with Uhich I receive every opinion which proceeds from that Chair. But the question at present in issue is one of great im portance; and the opinifio of no man, whether in or out of the House, ought to bind the House of Commons so as to prevent them from giving a deliberate opinion upon a question of such great Importance to 06: own privi leges and construction. The question at present be f ire the House (said the Honourable and Learned Gentleman) is, whether the Member for Clare shall be allowed to speak from his place—for what must for the present be considered as his place, the floor at the table—and to. assign the reasons in consequence of which he believes he has a right to sit in the House upon only taking certain oaths, and without the veers lily of taking other,' Upon this part of the subject, the right of Mr. O'Connell to address the House. he (Mr. Brougham) should take leave to cite, for the considera tion of the House, two or three precedents upon the sub ject, which be thought would fully bear him cut in the propositions which he had laid down, and which were well worthy of the consideration of the House. The first case was that of Sir H. Monson. which took place 13th May, 1689. and the other was that of Viscount Fan. shawe, which occut red on the same day. It appeared by the journals of the House, and by every account which remained of the proceedings which took place upon that oicasion, that Sir Henry Monson was at the table, awl that some discusion, little or much, took place there; and that he was called iu by the authority of the House, and asked if he had any objection to take the u ual oaths ? He answered that he had objections. but that they were entirely personal, regarding only him self, and not in any degree calculated to produce danger Cr uneasiness to the King's Government. It appeared that Sir Hew y Monson spoke a new sentences, at least, in explanation of . the objections which. he had to the oaths. The House, it appears, was not satisfied with his es planation, and he was directed to withdraw. A dis enssioe then took place upon the question, and the re strt was that the seat was declared vacant,'and a new writ issued. But what he now wished 'moat particu larly to impress upon the House was that which took place before the issuing of the writ, namely, that the party whose interests were more immediately concerned was heard at.the table of the House to. state his ow n ease before it was disposed of. Ia the case of Mr. Arch dale a similar course was pursued. He stated that he could not in conscience take the oaths winch were ten dered, and a new writ issued. The same was tl.e course pursued in the case of Lord Fanshawe; but in all of them the party concerned had a hearing, and addtes-ed the House from the table before be witbdtew. This question it was of course impossible to raise until tie Honoorailtr - Member for Clare had withdrawn. It seemed to hum (Mr. Brougham) that the only coarse which now Remained was, to recall the Honriurable Gentleman to the table, and allow him to state the oroonds on which he objected to the oaths. If, after hearing these objections, the House should again order tam to withdraw, they would at least come to the Cult sldeitation of the main qnestion with more information than they possessed as present. The House, he was sure, would see that the inipeetance of the subject rendered it absolutely necessary that %key should proceed in every stage with the utmost delsiseration—(Hear).— The Honourable Member then sat doses. but cries of it Move, move," resounded from all sidekoftbe Mahe, upon• which he again rose, and said that he bad already sufficiently, and as fully as he was able, explained to the House the views which he entertained of %be ques tion then before the House. He considered it a Phial, thegreatest hardshipto the Hon.Gentlemao in question, that, in a case involving the enjoyment of a civil right of the highest unagnitude . and importance, be should:Awes . not indeed deprived of that right , but certainly del• rived of the means of using-it to the fullest eztintVott indeed. to any considerable extedt at all. He should' conclude by moving, that the Hon. Member for Clare be recalled, and heard at the table of the House. Mr. PEEL said, that whatever form the discussion may have assumed, it was quite obvious that the House was now sitting in a judicial capacity, and that the question before them was to be decided upon the prac- tice of the House, which was the foundation of the law of Parliament. Upon the reason of the case, he (Mr. Peel) had not the slightest doubt that the Honourable Gentleman who had been returned for Clare was not entitled to be beard at the table. If the fact wets otherwise, every Member who may be returned to the House, and who may have any objection to particular parts of the oaths required to be taken, would be entitled to a hearing—(Load ct ies of 4. Hear" from theOppobition Benches). He apprehended, however, that the law and usage of Parliament was in direct opposition to such a doctrine. If it be indispensably necessary to his becom ing a full Member of the House that he should take the appointed oaths, then it is impossible for him :o pei bras any of the functions of a Member before the oaths have been administered to him with regard to the precedents which have been cited. If any serious doubt remained upon the minds of Hon. Members as to the 'effect of tt4 preceoents, he thought it- would be most desirable that they should not come to any decision upon the question thd:y. His (Mr. P.'s) conclusion was certainly different from that of the Hon. and Learned Member upon the op— posits side of the House. and he thought that noMember who refused to take the oaths could be entitled to tAke his seat. It would be'premature to enter then epon the , other question connected with the case, as it had been impossible to give notice to the members of the Hoope that to important a discussion was coming forward,: Whether in reference to the difficulty of the subject or the dignity of the House. he was of opinion that the most desirable course to pursue would be to postpone the consideration of the questiohuntil Monday nest. Mr. W. WYNN said, that he folly agreed with the Right Honourable Secretary in thinking that it would be very inconvenient to enter at present into the dis cussion of the question, whether a person who, being a Roman Catholic, and elected before the passing of the late Act a Member of the House of Commons, can take his seat in the House opon taking only such oaths as are contained in the Act recently passed by the legislature? That was a question of very consider able moment, and he thought that a day ought to be specially appointed for its consideration. The point, which was at present to be decided arose upon the motion of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman,and upon this question, it was his '(Mr. W.'s) opinion that the precedents were all decisively in favour of allowing the Hon. Member for Clare to state to the House the reasons why he objected to the taking of the oaths.— He agreed with what had been said by the Right Hon. Secretary, that until the Hon. Gentleman had taken the oaths. it was not competent for him to perform any act of a Member of Parliament io that House; but the states Went (Ibis objections to the oaths he prefers to make not as a Member, - but as a person claiming to be a Member, and for the purpose of getting over some preliminary bu siness for the purpose of becoming a Member of the House. There was a question of for m connected with ibis subject which may appear trifling, but which, in fact, wabof considerable importance—it was,whether the Hun. Gentleman should be heard at the table or at the bar? A case bad occurred in which the distinction had ap peared of some consequence. In the case to which he 'referred a Member who had not taken his seat, and who would incur penalties if he attempted to take it, wrote a letter to the Speaker, complaining of a breach of the privileges of the House which had been coma witted upon him as one of the Members. The parties against whom he made the complaint were ordered to attend the House, and the Member himself at the same time attended at the b4r, and having heard tile answer and excu ,e advanced by those who were the objects of his complaint, he withdrew. It was afterwards questioned whether his havii,g been at the bar of the House was not an offence within the meaning of the statutes of Elizabeth, hut the House resolved the question in the negative.— He (Mr. %%Wynn) was decioedly of opinion th4t, upon every ground of . reason, justice, and consistency, the House ought to allow the Hon Membef fur Class to come to the bar,and there state his objections to the taking of. the oaths, in the same manner as was permitted I , to any other Member, or, indeed, to any petitioner who claimed any right or advantage which it was in the power of the House .to bestow. It was for the House . itself to decide in what particular manner the heating should be granted; but, even if the Members had known nothing of the particular facts of tills cam, he was of opinion that, if the Hon. Gentleman had asked permis , sion to address the House from the table. he (Mr. Wynn) was sure, upon the authority of all the existing piece dents, be would be entitled to a hearing. Mr. SUGDEN said, that there was .1 difficulty ohids would arise in the case of the Hon. M, mber's addressing the House froth the table which may not exist in his, addressing them from the har. The sth of Ehz 'beds imposed upon any ►Member who should enter the House without having taken the oaths in the Lord Steward's Office certain penalties, amongst which was that of being disabled trom sitting, voting, or speaking in the Parliament to which the Member sn transgressing bad been returned. Now, it the sth of Elizabeth continued' yet in force (and he, Mr. Sugden, believed that it did) it was clear that the Hon. Gentleman who had appeared at the table had ceased to be a Member of the present Pitiliament, and could not, therefore, in any event, ad dress the House from the table. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that whatever cause may altimateiy prevent the House from hearing the Hon. Member for Clare, it would hardly adopt that which his Honourable and Learned Friend (ilr. Sugden) had just suggested. The House knew not4.ing of what passed out of doors, and could not therefrne found its decisions upon that of which they had no certain know ledge. He understood the fact to be, however, that the Honourable Member for Clete had a certificate of having taken what he conceived to be sufficient oaths, before the proper officers—CHere Mr. SUOMI addressed the House again, upon which Mr. Brougham reminded him that it was the usage of the House that only one Member should address the House at once.3—(A laugh). He should now take leave to suggest, in addition to what he hid alieady observed, that, as the Member for Clare had expressed his consent to take some oaths, whilst he objected to other+, the House would give him permission to take the oaths to which he did not object, leaving the question upon the others open as before. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that be did not agree with Mr. Wynn io thinking that the•distinction between ad- dressing the House from the table and from the bar was not very material. The whole question, however, was so very important that he earnestly hoped the House would adjourn the consideration of it until Monday, `test the purpose of affording an opportunity of nazis , ing the records tithe House for _proodtrop applicable co tre Ca • *. Mr.-SUDDEN Oidlßi t ln voyiog Apt the Ron. as t s lietttled Gentleman inonnel I) hafiiiit - Men the r. isigden) haat not made a rash "ass'ation. He held in his hand the printed case prepa.ed by Mr. O'Connell himself, in welch that Gentleman states that he objecteJ, in the Lnr,l Steward's-office, to taking some of the oaths which had been tendered.—.. , Now, thee was only one of them to which he could feel any objection, and he (Mr. Sugden) was therefor* warranted in interring that that one he had WOE taken. His Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) might therefore 'have spared the observation which he bad made upon his (Mr. Sugden's) view of the case. Mr. BROUGHAM—Now I think I had much better not have spared the observation which I made. For what was it which the Honourable and Learned Mem ber was calling upon the House to do ? He was tilling upon the Houv to proceed in a case of 'such delicacy and importance upon vain conjeztures &rived float printed arguments, which may support an inference or may not. How can the House tell whether the Hon. Member for Crate took any, or what oaths, or no oaths at all? How can we know that, after tile printing of the pamphlet, Mr. O'Connell may not have gone to the Lord Steward's office, and then taken the oaths? With regard to the Right Hon. Secretary his ante. va ions were of a very different nature iron' those of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. &pion), and required a different notice. The point suggested by the Ittght Honourable Secretary was, like !v . pry other past et the case, very important. He '(%lt. Brougham) did not, however, believe that it was a matter of notch rm• portance whether the Member for Clare addressed the House from the table or the bar, although i.e ailowegl that it was a matter of some conequence ? Howevei,,' whether from the bar or the table, bear him they muss; for, supposing him to be an ordinary petitioner, pray ing for the re titration 01 pieservatioti of his rights, without mesiong to go so tar as to say that he has la right to be hearu at the table of the Howe, I have no hesitation in saying that we have a right to hear him ; and this was clearly a case in which we ouAht rather to be anxious to hear than not to be so.' It the House. thought proper to postpone the case for this puroose, he (Mr. BroughSm) had no objection to such a course. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT rose for the purpose of stating that the oaths to which Mr. O'Conncil Hid not object had been taken by hen. and that he (Sir Francis) was present when the oaths were taken at 'the office of the Lord Steward. The SPEAKER said that, before he should finally put the question to the House, they would, perhap,, not . think him unreasonable if he put them in full posses sion of the course which he had intended to pursue, and which be had pursued. The House had already agreed that the question before it, both as to the hearing itself arid as to the manner in which it was to take plase,was one of great importance. The most decisive picot or the sentiments of the House upon the subject was thr. unanimitywith which they agreed to postpone its further consideration to a future day. lie did not agree with the 1 - .:n. Member on the opposite side of t .e 14.,use that there was much difficulty in the case. Yes, even if the case was one of difficulty, still no time tor deliher anon was allowed to the Speaker in the Chair. He wa fore obliged to act upon the view which he en•ertained, of the state of the law. As to not hearing tie Hon. Gent. he founded his conduct upon what he belt. ved to have been the uniform practice of the House. as h• knew of no precedent in which a person had been al lowed to address the House until a reolution directly and expressly granting permission to do so had hero passed. He WAS also in this part of the ca-e influenced by the consideration how far the Hon. Gentleman might be affected, not by the statute of Elizabeth, bait that of Charles 11. it he should proceed to address the House from the table. There was one other subject on which he wished to make an observation. The House was aware that the Lord Steward and his Deputy were nit officers of the House, and that a certificate from them of the oaths having been taken was all the evidence which the House could have of that tact. The House. therelme, in it, aggregate charactes, cannot gnaw whe ther improper oaths have been taken, and were therefore bound to inter that the oaths taken were the right ortes. Mr. TIERNEY wished to know, and to understand correctly, whether it was to be understood• that the Hon. Memtier for Clare was to be heard at the table or at the 'bar of the House? If that point were n t settled n.,w, as it might very well be, it Would occasion the loss of another day. If the motion of his am. and Learned Friend should be agreed to, which lie understood was to the effect that Mr. O'Connell should be heard to•state his objections to taking the oath., then there would re. main the chief part of the subjet to be decided upon. He entirely concurred uith the It.glit Hon. Secretary in thinking that the matter was set sucnimportance as 'to require deliberation ; but he was at a loss to uoderstand why they should then adjourn to deliberate upon the first point when they bad not heard the argument respecting it. Buc if Mr. O'Ct.ntiell were t• be perstrit.ed to address the House, Ise apprehend...if there must be some resolution tweed to a, to time and place; and those vints, he contended, inie,ht very properly and easily be settled at once. It was indeed an imi ortant question, bin it was one upon which a speedy decision ought to be come to. He en. derstood his Hun. and Learned Friend to have produced precedents, by which it was clear that Mr.O'Connell ought to be permitted to state his reasons for the objet dons he had made. But it appeared that on a Gentle man having been duly declased by a Committee of that House to be elected a Member of it, it in its wisdom thought pope' to say, evcn when it had the party at its table, arid ready to make his sta:enient—no; the matter is of great inwriance; it requrres - deliberation ; and that we may deliberate the better, we wlll.sadjousn without hearing the argument. He begged. the Right Hon. Sect etary not to understand that he had not the slightest indisposition to deter the consideration of the' main question ; but What he was de,irous of was to see the preliminaries fairly arranged. Mr. PEEL blamed no one for the delay which had taken place in the agitation of this question ; but it was the custom of the House, on much less important occa• sions, for the Hon. Member bringing a'subject forward to give a regular notice of his intentions. And that being the case, he thought it was far trom unreasonable to ask for a delay of two days before they proceeded to decide whether a Member of that House should' be heard before be had taken his seat.' That was his opi nion at first, and having heard in the courseof the dis cussion great authorities upon the subject, and observed the discrepancies between t r am, he found a further reti.;' son for requiring time to look inn the precedenti a 'arid to consider the subject. The Hon. and Learned MeinheitS motion wahthat Mr. O'Connell bevecalled and heard it the table. When that came on for discussion it would be. in the power of any Honourable Member either 'to sup, port it, or to move chid Mr: O'Connell be heard at ;the. bar, or that be be not heard at all. He thotight thattitte plum discussion, especially the Speake?s opinion, had ins quite matins to Wm* that the subject could not • be sati.factotily dealt with .unless an adjournment to Monday was agreed to. It might then regularly b e broutht forward, and no one considered as pledged to any opinion upon the question. • Mr. M. FITZGERALD had nn objection to the que,tion being postponed, but be did Lot we how d i 110.1. Xlember f t Clare, after he had been declared duly elected, could be refused a hearing. By lbf opinion r 4 the Chair, Mr. O'Connell had been preiren ed fro nt stating the reasons why he objected to take the oaths ; he ought certainly to be afforded an opportunity of a s doing. It was of little consequence whether he wa s heard at the bar or at the table, but it world be depriting a Member of that House of his privileges ii it was y e „ fused to hear his objections to taking the oaths. Every hour of delay was are injury not only to Mr. O'Con ar a but to his constituents. Mr. PFAU. thought it was Impowlhlat to bear the stigm a if the Honourable Member for Clare until it had been deeidiilleh e tiger be was to be heard at the table or at the bar. Lard MILTON said, tbat whatever doubt might situ as see s mode of proceeding to be adopted, there did nut western be say as to the proceeding itself. lie was glad to see that, wltethr the flouourable Member for Clare was to br heard at the nid e ir at the bar. it seemed to be the unanimous opluim, that he .tight to be heard in some pan of the House. Sir J. YOItKR said, that he wag not very deeply versed precedents of the Hints,. In respect, however, to those wiggl y ,' bete; cited lie was able to state that Viscount Fanshawe was lent for by the Speiser, and on his appearance at the table &Asti, be had any objection to take the oaths. He refused to take thein; an d was then asked to assign his reasons; and in this man be' s & dressed the House at the direction of the House itself. • Mr. BROUGHAM said Or a the House would, d o bim the justice to recollect that he had had great die. telly and hesitation in proposing to the House in the loins of a motion the impression which existed to *au agli in his own mind. The cases of Sir Healy !Monson and Viscount Fanstravre, which he had cited to ibOluuse, had 5 1 :is pecnloatite, that they li.sd been .Membets of the Convention Parliament, and might thereto. e have taken their seats in the House during the sitting ot that Parliament. 'F! , e C..nvention Parlor. spent was certainly an illegal assembly. and, in point of fact, a person rh hed ben a Member of it had corn. milled an offence against the law ; and that Parliame!;t continued to have the same illegal character * until an Act was pas.erl alter the accession of William, rendering the Convzition PA. I I ameng legal. But in that legalising Act came the oaths to which Sit Henry Monson ob jected. The case of Archdale was not much different from the description which had been given by the Ho. 'towable and gallant Member (Sir Joseph Yorke) of an-titer case. The fact of Arch-tale having been sent for by ttie House might make some difference be weer his case And the present; but the cases of Sir .Heory ifoubon and Viscount Fan-hawe were ersctly • the -rune a. that of the present Member fur Clare. The Honoi.r.b:e and Learned Gentleman went on to say that the sense catr,e which had rendered him slaw and unwilling to present to the linuse iii the shape motion the strong impression .which he entertaibed tin this subject, and so hold hack until pressed by the House to do so; now influenced him in acceding to the proposal of the Right Hero. nee. demon opposite, and consenting to defer till Monday .tbe considers. tion of whethertbe Hon. and I,earned Minnher lot Clare should be beard from the table or from the bat. As to the fact of the House coming to the entieltodoo that they could not hear the Hen. 'Member at all, that was a matter which be (Mr.'tirougham) could not contemplate as main withip the range ot Viscount DUNCAN NON said that he had been reqoested'hy the. Hon.

The SPAM KKR then put the question upon the adjournmest to MotidaY of the consideration alibi. question,witether Mr. Deontica shoubi be heard from the table or from the bar ? The question was rattled in thisfiren:i;e Mr. Secretary rEKL said, tbst it would, he supposed, brander. stood that this case should, on the day appointed, bare precedence of all other business.
