He was to aware of the ezister ee of any ollacial details by means of which those returns could be furnished. CONSOLIDATION Of CRIMINAL LAWS. • Mr. Secretary PEEL, pursuant to the motion of whish he had given notice, rose to move for leave to bring la a Bill for consolidating the statutes of larceny, burglary, and robbery. His Bill would have four chapters ; the object of the first was, the consolidating and simplifying the laws of thelt ; that of the second, the consolidating the laws relating to another class of offences against personal proper; those of lesser burglaries; that of the third, those of the provisions of the taw of rob bery ; and that of the fourth, the repealing all the statutes regulating those laws, so as to give the other three a free and unembarrassed operation. He le- on a former occasion, entered so fully into the merits , and principles of the measures he bad been, since ' his entry into office, engaged in, that he felt it an- 1 necessary to trouble the House, though many of its Members were new Members of a new Parliament. The main principle of consolidating the policy of those laws was, that it was consistent with the dictates of common sense, and with the rules of justice, that the laws by which the'conduct of the members of society was regulated should be intelligible to all, that its pro. visions should be known to all, from its spirit being couched in precise, definite, and unambiguous language --(Hear.)--He expected, therefore, the House would support him with the same cordiality as its predecessor —the rather, as he was far from acting with rashness or immaturity of-judgment, had introduced no important alterations in the spirit of ihe laws, and had retained all those forms and language of expression which usage bad invariably adhered to, and which authority had sanc tioned. In his fit st statute he intended to dispense with se veral clauses, which were framed under circumstances of society quite different from those we live in, and adapt them to the improved manners and institutions of the age. As the laws stand at present, there exists a distinction be tween grand and petty larceny,for which he saw no cause, either in reason or what is called practice, and which he therefore meant to abolish. It a criminal stole to' the value of Is. he was indicted for simple larceny; if for more than Is. for grand larceny, and punished accordingly. Among other inconveniences copse quent upon this distinction was, that the latter crime could only be tried is certain County Courts; so that if a man stole 2.. worth of property, he could not be ' tried by the Court which might punish him for a Is. theft, but must be sent to the County town at a great expense and delay to the ends of justice. The conse quence was, that to evade the inconveniences of the law, thefts were often valued at Is. and only punished as such. He would abolish these distinctions, and the inconveniences consequent upon them ; and this with the less hesitation, as the maximum of punishment for I I either grand or petty larceny was seven fears trans portation; and he begged leave to say, that he at no time •in his Bills increase!! the penalties for crimes.— Whenever he interfered, or would interfere with punish ment, it was merely to mitigate it—(Hear, hear, hear.) Another distinction between grand and petty' larceny, which he (Mr. Peel) meant also to abolish was, that a second committal c f the former offence constituted le. lony without benefit of Clergy. He intended to wipe off that class of penalties from the Statute Book. It was absurd to retain the term clergy able offence (a term that could not be translated into any other language— s() bad test of its folly) in our criminal code at all, now that the prioelegiuns ckrici, and the rights of the tonsure, and other such absurdities, no longer ex ked but in the records of antiquaries—(Hear, !tear, hear.)—The principle of these was so absurd and so irrational, that it had only to be known to be repro.] bated. It was, in a word, that the more educated and' enlightened you were, the less you wet e responsible for moral transgressions—(Hear, hear).—lnstead then of having the penalty of one conviction of grand larceny a clergyable offence, he would punish it with transpor tation for life—a mitigation of the penalty; Another alteration he meant to introluce was to raise the sum (at present 405.) the stealing of the value of which, con stitutes the distinction between capital burglary and that species of robbery which was nut liable to capital convictions; this alteration therefore would le.►eu ma tesially the number of capital convictions. He claimed credit to himself for havii g more mitigated the severity, and done more to improve the administration of the Cri minal Laws, than any r ne in or out of office that ever sa: in Parliament—(Hear).— Still he acted cautiously and gradually, convinced that as crime was on the increase, and as terror seemed to be its most efficient check, that it was mpetatite to act with the most gradual caution, in mitigating the penalties of offences. He had also an example to the House, in presenting them with Acts . of Parliament which- all might read and understand. All he bad hitherto read was so lull of repetitions, of plurals and singulars, kc. thaehe never could unravel the puzzlintparaphrases—(Heu, hearorad laughter). The Right Ron. nentletnan• announced his intention to have a Commission i istituted for the purpose of aster mining the tees and emoluments of the subordinate Officers engaged in the administration of justite, simi lar in its scope and end to that which so ably pro. mated the ends of justice by its successful efforts to ascertain the fees and emoluments of the Judges and higher Officers. The subordinate Officers, to which be principally alluded, were the Sub Sheriff' and Coroner, (who complained much of being ill paid,and yet contested their appointments with great expense and obstinacy,) the Clerk of Assize, the Clerk of the Peace, and the Clerks of Magistrates. He could recite instances where the fees of all these persons materially interfered with the ends of justice, and therefore should be estimated to be otherwise regulated. The Right Hon. Gentleman stn ed, that the expense of his Bills to amend the Jury Laws, and she Liters of Felony, which permitted to take bail in certain cases, did not exceed 10001. —(Hear,)hear)--and that though.;it had.been objected to them thy it would be necessary to remodel them, to amend and alter them, he found they worked so svell, that he never had the least occasion to introduce the least alteration into their present form. It had been' besides objected to them that they increased the county rates ; and kt had been thrown in his teeth, that the at- tempt to diikover the Fetcham murderers cost the County of Suiedy 6001: 'This expense had nothing to say to any Bill of his whatever, and was not undertaken at his advice, or from his knowledge. A statement had been drawn op in whicis the increase of the county hies, consequent upon his Bills was estimated (he ad mitted as far as the items west correctly) at 2,3431. for this yeir's Sessions at Clerkenwwll; and the Old Bailey, while that of last year amounted to bar 1,2974 Now the fart was, that the number of felonious cases tried this year amounted to 524 while only 406 were tried at the same period last year; and all that his Bill ap plied to was misdemeanours, of which 45 were tried a: an expense of 1491. ; this chiefly, because the witnesses were poor persons who required to be recompensed for their time and trouble; and he asked, ought not the poor man to receive justice cheaply ?—(Hear.) This reminded him of another improvement, namely, that of detaining cri missals,' who had undergone the incarceration adjudged to them by the law, from inability to pay prison fees. This was a monstrous anomaly in a code of justice, and should be abolished. The Right Hon. Gentleman ex ,pressed his acknowledgments of the most able assist ance from the Judges and Law Officers of the Crowp, and with appealing to a Noble Lord (Althorp) cob versant with the details, as to the vast labour which the mere preparation of a Bill required. He might acquire a more splendid reput*ion by identifying his name with a new Code altogether ; but he thought he better .stag his country, and promoted the ends of justice, by VW running counter to ancient ue and prejudices, MI contented himself with the moderate reputation allay. ing done his endeavour to consolidate, improve, and umplify its Criminal Code—(Loud cheering.) Lord ALTHORP expressed his satisfaction that the Right Hon. Gentleman bad thus far surmounted the difficulties of his undertaking, tie arduous nature of which his own experience had enabled him fully to appreciate ; and he rejoiced still mere in the determina tion he had expressed to persevere in his beneficial course. The expenses awarded to prosecutors and wit nesses at Quarter Sessions were much less than those awarded at Assizes, and the reason was plain enough, for at Quarter Sessions they were awarded by the payers of the county rates, and at the Assizes by other per sons. These expenses ought he thought to be made a general charge upon the country. He thought it right to mention one circumstance connected with the Act now in force, for the punishment of malicious injuries to property. This act was frequently applied to purposes for which it bad never been intended. He could in stance the case of poaching; which it had been attempt ed to check by means of it. He gave the Right Hon. Gentleman the highest credit for his persevering and judicious efforts. Sir EDWARD EAST begged to offer his humble tribute of thanks to the Right Hon. Gentleman. He had acted for 24 years as a Magistrate in a very popu lar county, and from the experience he had had of the effects arising from the present state of the law, he had no doubt that the measure proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman would confer a lasting benefit on the country. ' Mr. HOBHOUSE never rose with greater pleasure than he now did, to offer his humble testimony to the outwits and services of the Right Hon. Gentleman.-- There was only one passage of his able speech with which he did not concur. The Right Hon. Gentleman bad said that he might have shed greater lustre upon his name by the formation of a code ; but he (Mr. H.) giould say, that it was impossible for any name to be awe splendid than that which the Right Hon. Gentle. man was about to secure for himself in the history of his country. Other eminent men had bad the will to effect these important alterations, but the Right Hon. Gentleman had bosh the will and the power. If the distinguished Lawyer, who once filled the seat be now' so unworthily occupied, could have seen a Secretary of State acting as be had done, how gladly would he have resigned to him the benevolent labours he bad so zealously and nobly, though so unsuccessfully, pursued? No doubt there were difficulties in the way of the Right Hon. Gentleman; but if he persevered in the wise, temperate, and vigorous course he had begun, he might be confident of the successful convic tion of his undertaking. It was sometimes his task to complain of the conduct of Ministers, and he gladly, therefore, embraced the opportunity of offering a Et ibute of unqualified praise. He did not now express merely the sentiments of an individual, for at the annual meet ings when the Representatives for Westminster were' brought into immediate communication with their con stituents, the name of the Right Hon. Secretary was constantly mentioned as one of the greatest benefactors of his country. He hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not be deterred by difficulties. He anticipated confidently for him a more splendid fame than his Modesty permitted him to look forward to. He had laid the secure foundation for becoming a great man by being already a good one.—( Hear, hear I) Mr. SYKES recommended that single Magistrates should be eprivtd of the power t.f commitment, and that con ty rates houkt be spared as much as possible in any iew regulations that might be adopted. Toe county rates amountscho a larger sum uow than the poor rates did thii teen years ago. • CRIPI'S warmly applauded the otioctr of tic r Gentleman. In reply to as obtereados of able Gentleman wl@ had *Cott &mit, he Itn that it would be djfficult, and hi some country impossible, to bring .m.o !Ugh er in every case where a commitment was ......AILEY return!d his thanks to the Riglit Hon. Gentleman. for the able and admirable speech which 1 he bad that evening delivered. Ile was quite convinced that the comprehensive plans disclosed in that speech would have the effect of diminishing the amount of capital punishment—(Much impatience was here mania fasted by coughing and other noises). He would not trouble the House further than by sal ing that the Right Hon. Gentleman had achieved for himself a permanent fame, and that his exertions were calculated to produce the most salutary results on the morals of society. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he would be guilty of great injustice to the House, if he did not briefly express the gratitude which be felt for the general sup port which his proposed measures had received— (Hear, hear). It was most gratifying to him to observe, a complete oblivion of all pasty and personal feeling, when the object before the House was an endeavour on his part to effect a great public benefit—(Hear.) — Such a support was the most honourable testimony that could be borne to the utility of his efforts, and the uprightness of his intentions--(Hear.)—He would not, on the present occasion, make any observations on the subject.which had been alluded to by an Hon. Gentleman opposite—he meant the melancholy in crease of capital crimes. He had, however, caused comparative tables to be drawn up, and he was cony to observe, but he owed it to justice to declare, that the comparison of the present with former. periods was not satisfactory. Perhaps, however, the overgrown amount of the population might be adduced as one of the reasons which produced that unfavourable result. That, however, this subject had not escaped his atten tion, and that he meant to apply some teenedy for the evil, must be obvious to the Hon. Gentleman, as he had giien notice of a motion as to the state of the police wi**lo miles of the metropolis. When that motion came Thrward, the whole question could be discussed. Leave was then given to bring in the Bills mentioned by the Right Hon. Gentleman in the course of his speech. most remit parts of the Mr: HUME rose to call the attention of the House to a subject of the greatest importance. He regretted that, when any question connected with the interests of India was brought before the House, it did not meet with that attention which the vast importance of those interests required and merited [several Members had ,left the House when the Hon. Member rose to submit his motion]. —it was a proof that great insensibility was shewn on Indian subjects in that House, when it was considered that oar dominion in India extends over a kondred millions of people, yet the subject of India was rarely—scarcely once in a Session, brought before Parliament ; and even when it was accidentally brought forward, it was coldly received by the House. lire Hon. Member, having stated that the expectation of receiving some information which he had desired was the cause of the delay io bringing forward the motion, before be proceeded to call the attention of the House to the cata strophe at Barrackpoor, which took place in N0v.1824, observed that Barrackpoor was a military station, about fourteen miles from the Presidency of Calcutta. When the catastrophe to which he was about to call the atten tion of the House occurred, the local Government op pointed a Committee of Inquiry into it. This Com mittee consisted of three Military Gentlemen of expe rience and of high character. These Officers did not complete their commi,sion until some time in January, 1825. He (Mr. H.) called for the Report of that Com mittee towards the close of last Session, when he was told by the Right Hun. the President of the Board of Controls' that it had not arrived in this country, though he had good reason to believe that it had arrived by the Rose, from India, although perhaps not with the know ledge of the Right Hon. Gentleman. OS THE SPEAKER. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that as the motion of the Hon.. Member was not one that was pressing as•to the time at which it may be brought forward, he trusted that, in consideration of the indisposition of the Speaker, the Hon. Member would postpone his motion, and assent to his amendment, " That the House do now adjourn." —(Loud cries of Hear, hear I and Adjourn, adjourn 1) Mr. HUME said, that he had consulted with the Speaker on this motion, and it was not until he had received the assurance of that Right Hon. Gentleman that it would net be inconvenient to him to bring it for ward, that he bad risen to submit it to the House. The SPEAKER—I am anxious to express the sense of great obligation that I owe to the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Peel), to the Hen. Member (Mr. Hume), and to the House, for the consideration and indulgence they seem disposed to shew me, by proposing a postpone ment of the present question. In fairness to the Hon. Member, I should state, that before be brought forward the motion, he stated his readiness to postpone it, if the Winging it forward would be a personal inconvenience to me ; and be has now brought it forward, after I had assured him that my sitting here would lead to no in crease of any inconvenience that I might feel, and that the delay or postponement of his motion would be without the benefit of relieving me from that inconvenience.— The Right Hon. Gentleman repeated his expression of thanks for the indulgence and kind consideration of the House, and requested that no Adjournment might take place on his account. The cries of " Adjourn, adjourn," were loud and ge neral from both sides of the House; and after an inti mation from Mr. Hour, that he would bring forward the motion this evening, the House adjourned at a few minutes after Num o'CLocr. ST. KALEARINE'S DOCK COMPANY. Yesterday a Special General Meeting of the Pro prietors and others interested in the intended new Dccks, at St. Katharine's, was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of bearing the Report of the Directors, relative to the affairs of the Company. The assemblage was numerous and highly respectable, and,what has been very unusual in Ci.y. Meetings elate, quite unanimous. A few minutes after one o'clock, JOHN Tooxa, Esq. Chairman to the Directors, took the Chair, supported by several Members of Parliament and leading men or the City. Mr. Tooke convatulated the Meeting on its respectability, and the number of Proprietors present, and the great success of the Cosup.iny's operations.— ['wee-quarters of the ground required to be cccu ,iied by the intended Docks had been purchased and excavated, and the other quarter was now in doe course of becoming the Company's property on favourable terms. Contracts bad been entered into for , tV fetelletion of the Works at soon below the aide, and the whole would be completed, • liberally for contingencies, much under the spin eased, namely, one milli n' and a h,if.

The Report of the Chairman and Directors read by Mr. Hall, the Secretary, and in other particulars mentioned by Mr. Tooke, the Ducks were in a much more forward paration than had been anticipated; in foot they had advanced, the prospect of cess was more and more manifested.
