i - CROWDER, hiAVORI A 10311110 N COUNCIL, holden in the CHABIBERfof the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on THURSDAY, the 17th June, 1830 ; RESOLVED, THAT this Court, deeply sensible of the importance and solemnity of an Oath, and of the injurious tendency of ..Iministering oaths, unnecessarily or on comparatively trivial oc. :dons, (which only weakens their security,) is anxious to draw the •t,lttion of Parliament to the subject of Oaths generally, but espe ially to the o•ths and Declarations the Members of this Court are required to take by various acts of Parliament. That this Court is of opinion, that the Clause in the Oath of Abjuration against the Pretender, and his Successors, is useless .md unnecessary, that Family, by lapse of time, being extinct or unknown. That this Coutt agree in opinion with the law Archdeacon Paley, •ehn considered that the " levity and frequency with which an oath is sdministed, to have brought about a general inadvertency to the , Aligation of Oaths, which, both in a religious and political view, is nu& to be lamented, and it merits public consideration whether the tegciring of oaths on so many frivolous occasions, especially in the Customs and in the qualifications of the Petty Officers, has any c•thct effect than to make them cheap in the eyes of the People." That this Court is further of opinion, that (laths should only be iiministered on important and solemn occasions ; and that the fre. pient and often trivial use of (laths in the Customs, Excise, and cater departments of Government, has an injurious and demoraliz. .ng tendency. iThat Petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament, pray. ing to be relieved from the Clause in the Oath of Abjuration ,sgainst the Pretender and his Successors, and against the too coin. mou use of Oaths generally.

Was the Peerage belonging to the tenant in tail, or tenant far life, as well as the tenant iu fee ? Suppose the estate were sold, would the title pass with It ? Suppose the tenant became insolvent. ' and the estate were sold by the Insolvent Debtors Court, would the Peerage be sold with it ? To these propositions Mr. Baottnnam adverted in the course of his argument, contending that the consequences, however absurd, which might arise front the claim being substantiated on the grotto& put forth by the claimant, ought not to weigh with their Lerdshipsa The Learned Counsel called their Lordships attention to a variety of documents, among which was the following charter, confining' to Robert Fitentaurice de Berkeley the grant to Berkeley ilerncase, in the reign of King John : Johannes Der grade Rex Anglize Dominus Hibernite Dux Normannim Acquitanite et Comes Andegavie, Archiepi'cepis Eris copis Abbatibus Cotnitibus Baronibus Justiciarils Viceeduitibus et omnibus ballivis et fidelibus Buis, salutem.

From this charter, he said, the highest jeriatliction was given with the possession of the lands. The power thus conferred extended ever: to judging persons who might be taken in faking. Here was thus the highest power gio,n—vie. a criminal jurisdiction with the manor. There were but three modes of conferring dignity—by writ, patent, or tenure But the barony, by patent, did not exist until the 11th year of Richard 11. a period long subsequent to that in which the Lords de Berkeley were mum - toned to Parliament. The Learned Counsel then traced the descent to William de Berkeley, who was created Marquis Berkeley, and who, by means of a tine, settled the castle and manor of Berkeley, with their appur tenances, to hires& in tail general, with remainder to King Henry VII. in tail male; remainder to the right heirs of the said Alarquis. That Monarch wee considered to be Mild of money. Ile had it so much at heart, his love of accumulation was so great, that, had he lived at the present day, he would have directed his favourite. the alarquis, who was generally known by the title of the Earl of Not tiughatn, to go to the Stock Exchange, and there eflect bargains for Lie). But in those times the land-market was the way to wealth. Instead, therefore, as now, scrip would be obtained, an estate, with the entail linseed, was sought after. The honour of the barony merged in the Crown on that Monarch chtairing possession of the castle. When he died time estate cattle to Henry VIII. and, on the &nth of the latter King, descended to Edward VI. This was about I) years after the entail had been cut off. But there were heirs of the Thomas de Berkeley existing all this time. It' the dignity had proceeded either uy writ sr by patent, they must needs have been Peers. But they were only Commoners, and treated as Com owners. After retesting to other documentery evidence, front the period of Henry VII. to the lilst of Charles 11. 1679, the Learned Counsel thus ptoctaded : My Lords, I have brought to a close the arguments 1 felt it my duty to urge in tracing this pedigree. with the application of the law thereupon ; and 1 trust 1 have shown your Lordships once and again, but particularly upon three spe cial and remarkable occasions, that there must have existed a land barony. It has been so recognised by the Crown, by the House of Lords. and by the (*mute of Law. By the pro. eettlinge in quo warranto, in the Itelt of Edward I. (from records preserved in the Court of Exchequer,) the title to Berkeley manor, per baroniam, is distinctly admitted. I think I have shown that the Courts of law admitted this. Next, upon the decease of Thomas, the fourth Lord Berkeley. whose daughter (sole child) was married to the Earl of Warwick, :fit had not been a land barony there would have been a severance of title from the lands, which there was not ; and 1 have demorstrated that the honour must have merged in the Crown when the estates were held by the Crown. Your Lordships find, when the land goes to the Crown, there is no Lord Berkeley summoned until the land again reverts to the heirs. on the expiration of the heirs of Henry VII. by the death of lielwerd V I. Then with the land returns the barony. I beg humbly but very confidentially to say m veer ler& ships. that my leached friends who are opposed to this claim must satisfy your lordships' minds that they have some explanation to give of the admission et' the crown, of the admission of parliament, and of the admission of the courts of law. to the existence of this barony by tenure. If tiny do not. diet . , our case is made our. It is proved by the audio:ill of the courts of law, ley acts of parlia ment, and by admissions of die crown. All that reanains for me to do is to say a few words on what is said would be the inconvenience, should this claim be established. But will your lordships in this individual case, by refusing the claim, declare that to bc law which is not law ? 1%111 your lordships say that it is not right fur so and so to act. or to enjoy, because some possible inconvenience may arise ? I t there be inconvenience, let the law be altered ; let the legislature interfere, and pass a general measure. My lords, there are one or two points upon which I might have argued, connected with the view which I take upon this subject. When I am asked whether any body ever heard of such a claim as a barony by tenure, I would beg to put a question in return. and ask by what right a bishop has a seat in this house ? They sit here, my lords, as ba rons by tenure, and in no other way : for it is possible that a man may be a bishop, and yet have no scat in parliament. Nay, we have an instance proving that fact, in the case of the bishop of :odor and Man. That right reverend prelate is a bishop, them can be no doubt; he exercises all the rights of a bishop:, ordaining per. elms properly qualified for the office of priest. with even as much right as the pope himself can enjoy. He also confirms, sits in ordination—nevertheless, lie has no scat in parliament. Why ? because he is not a land baron. But he has a scat in the Manx parliament : be receives his appointment, not from the King, but front the Duke of Athol, who, by the bye. might appoint his own gamekeeper to be the lord bishop of the Isle of Man. if he thought proper, and the bishop thus appointed would have the right to or. (lain persons qualified for holy orders. Could any thing be more absurd in its consequences than this ?--and yet who denied that such might he the fact ? Many things, my Lords, I admit, arc done which ought not to be done ; but we are not at liberty to alter the law. We have the case of a Bishop who is appointed by the Dean and Chapter —the Bishop of Gloucester—but who has not yet a scat in your Lordships' House: nevertheless he is Bishop.— He cannot sit, because he has not vet (lone homage to the Crown, in consequence of the extreme indisposition under which the Sovereign is labouring. But he is a Bishop past all doubt ; it is admitted, a Bishop once, and a Bishop ever. I do hope, my Lards, that you will dismiss from your minds all prejudices respecting the inconvenience which mayarise in allowing the claim, and administer the law melt now stands, and hereafter alter that law if necessary. But absurdities and inconsistencies may arise in other circumstances than these which are now before the House. The Crown can raise any man from the streets, even should he be a felon.— A man might be taken from a gaol, who was totally ignorant of writing, who hail never heard of such a thing as a Court of Chancery or a Master of the Rolls, and appointed to the high office of Lord Chancellor. But no one ever dreamed of doubt ing the existence of the prerogative.ef the Crown because one abuse of that prerogative might possibly occur. In the same manna a Peer. age by writ was liable to abuse—an abuse of the same kind as that which might accrue from admitting a Barony by tenure. A woman entitled to a Peerage might marry a person very much beneath her in blood ; site might marry the scum of the earth, and thus give birth to a person entitled to a seat in your Lerdshipe House. It was a much more likely thing that a woman should marry beneath • .. • her than the creditors of a bankrupt Baron by tenure shook) taLP pssession of his estate, a...A, thus beeonte entuled to a seat in yr 4 LonMips' House. I hope, my Lords, that you will deal with t!. question of law as it stands, and, if the mischief which mar by pos sibility arise, ought to be obviated, let it be done, not by ja-!•d;'1 proceedings, but by legislative ; because one is consistent with ril.l cilia with justice—the other is pregnant with wrong, wit; and is a violation of the law.

One of the subjects which most particularly engrosses the atten. tion of the Corporation of London, is the attempt now making to restore the resident Freemen in Loudon to those Elective rights which are exercised by every other freeman livit!it itt eitlea reprc. sented in Parliament. The advocates for the rt•stormion of the pri. vii..ges state that by custom, confirmed by Charters, these rights once belonged to the citizens of London ; but through the influence of the livery.companies, together with a petition from rite major part of the Aldermen of London, the Act of the 11th Gen. I. was procured, which deprived the resident citizens of London of their elective rights, and gave those rights to the liverymen, (of the different companies,) who may be living in any part of the world. The Committee Lase matte a report adverse to the claim of the freemen. They state that no Evidence has been produced, showing that at any period there was a settled rule or custom that the freemen residcttt in London should elect the Representative+ of the City in Parliament, the Lord Mayor, the Sheri ff s, the Chamberlain, or the Auditors of the City Accounts ; but on the contrary, it appeared that, until the reign of Edward the:Fourth, such officers were elected from time to time by different persons; and from the period when the general political rights of the people became settled and defined, until the passing of tire statute I Ith Geo. I. the right of election was exercised, with a few exceptions, by the Livery of London. The advocates of the free. men are in possession of a record, which they say distinctly proves that the right of electing the Sheriffs was confirmed to the citizens by Charter of Henry the First, (1100,) which says that the citizens of London shall place as Sheriffs whom they will of themselves, and which must have continued the right of the Citizens until the 7th of -Edward the loin th, (14(7.) at which time the first mention is made of the Liverymen. thus settling it In the Citizens by Charter 1 367 years ; while the Charter of John grants to the Barons, who were the freemen, that they may choose unto themselves evert year a Mayor of themselves. 'file record also chews that from the 7th of Richard the Second, (13810 to the 7th of Edward the Fourth, the elective right continued undisturbed for 83 years, in the resident freemen in scot and lot. Several influential members of the Corpo. ration are decidedly iu favour of the claims of the freemen. REGISTER OP PUBLIC SALES, JuNs 17.

BERKELEY PEERAGE. Their Lordships sat on Wednesday morning in a Committee of Privileges on the above-named Peerage, the Earl of Shaftesbury, as usual, being the Chairman. In addition to the Lord Chancellor were the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Ifarrowby, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord C,althorpe, Viscount Strang ford, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Sheffield, the Earl of Rad nor, the Marquis of Cleveland, and the Earl of Rosshn, with four or five other Peers. The simple proposition upon which Colonel Berkeley grounds his claim is the possession of the freehold and castle of Berke ley, the possessors of which hail, in early times, by virtue of their tenure, been summoned to attend the King in his Council and Par liament. When the cave was last before the Committee, the Enrl of ELDON submitted several hypothetical propositions, which might result if the claim were held valid. ------ The noble and learned Lord said it was obvious that the claim rested on tenure, but of what kind or nature ? Was it tenure in fee ? and, if so, did the claim depend on the equitable or legal estate ? S:uppose a person vete tenant in fee of the castle and ba rony of Berkeley, would he be thereby constituted a Peer ? Sup pose the tenant, having the legal estate, should mortgage It, and the mortgagee was in possession, would the mortgagee, as having the tar PRICE 7D.
