A liwafele importation is alto held by the Judge to be fati.ficel by the landing the goods and paying the ' duties. This therefore be, !think, the true import of that &alien The dotileitic is again laid down in fiat more explicit terms by the Government itfelf, in a corrcfpundence between Lord Hawked . - bury and my predeceffor Mr. King. The cafe was precifely find 4 tar to thole which have bean lately before the Court. Mr. King complained, In a letter of March mB, 'Sot, that the cargo of an ' American veffet going from the United States to a Spanifis colony had been condemned by the Vice Admiralty Court of Natian. on the ground that it was of the growth of Spain, which Jalisco be contend d was contrary to the law of nations, and requilled that fu it able inftrufUona might he difpatebed to the proper offleen in the Weft India., to prevent like abides in future. Lord Hawk& hury, in a reply of April t tit), communicated the report of the King's Advocate General. in width it is exprefsly Rated. that the produce of an enemy may be imported by a neutral into hi. own country and re-exported thence to the mother country ; and in like manner in that circuitous mode, that the produce and =mast tures of the motber country might find their way to its colonies; that the landing the goods and paying the duties in the neutral . country broke the continuity of the voyage, and legalized the trade, although the goods were re flipped in the fame steel, on amine of the lamb neutral proprietors, and forwarded for fate to th e me. I ther country of the colony. It merits attention In this report (fo clearly apd pofttively is the Jeanne laid down, that the lauding the goods and piing the duties in the neutral country, broke the continuity of the lidyage) that it is Rated as a doubtful point vibe ther the mere tnuchitig in the neutral counter to oiyain feel clear ances will be enufidered in the light of the direct trade, that no Pufitive inhibition Is tnflßal on, any but the dired trade between the Mucha canary and the colonies. This doctrine in the light therein Rated, is silo to be found in the treaty between Great Bri tain sod Ifitifia, June 17, t Sot I by the feeond feellon of the third ankle, the commerce of neutrals is declared to be free; that fee d= was afterwards explained by a declaratory article of &holier 10 of the fore year, by which it i. agreed that it (hall not be un derftowl to authorise neutrals to carry the produce or merchandiee att enemy, either (Wanly from the colonies to the parent men try,er from the parent country to the colonies.

He read the Bill as part of his (patch, and the title was immediately afterwards read pro firma from the woolfatk. . Lord ELDON did not the to give any oppofition to a bill, the objea of which was to fa at reft a queilion, which. after the opinions delivered from fuch high authorities, mull be attended with filch confiderable difficulty and uncertainty. The whole 1 of his life bad been devoted to the labours of his profeilion, and in the long experience the,surcife of his duties had fopplied. he did not recoiled a tingle inftance in which be had heard the objedion Rated by a wieners ee foe a winters, that the effeil of his &n -ewer would be that it would render him refponfible i in a civil fnit. Whatever concurrence he might feel with a Noble Lord. in the object ()Ellis bill, he was by no means fatisfied that the form of it would an ewer the &dip the Noble Mover intended.

The LOPPHAIICELLOft left the Woolfaek. He felt k his duty to communicate his r eutiments on it fubjefi of fo much cottfequence to the proceeding, in C:t.e of Law. He had been for (mg pd twenty yeangged in the duties of a laborious profellon, and •he was fq employed, he had the opportW. • • pity a more, eatenfive experience in the Courts, • than uny other Individeal of hie time. It wu true, thatin the profelfian diere bad been, and there now were, men of mtieb mere learning and ability, than he would even pretest, to, bot'enccels in life often de pended more span aceident, and certain phyfical advantages, than upon the molt brilliant talents and profound erudition. It was very fierier, that, dar ing there twenty-feven years, he had not for a Jingle day been prevented in his nuclide= on the' Courts by any indifpolition, or corporeal infirmity. Within much the greater part otthis period, he had been honoured by a Own of precedency, and irt, confequeoce of this privilege, had not only been el l gaged in every important cattle, but had concluded caul's' of this defctiption dating' that period in the Court of King's Beach. Dut with the hiftory of his profellional life, their Lordihipe had no concern, otherwife than as it was conneeed with the prefent enquiry. For this purpofe it was material to de clare, that although his experience was eqiial not ' only to any individual Judge on the Bench', but to all the Judges, with their collective praaice ; yet that he never knew a tingle objeaion to have been taken to an interrogatory propofed, becaufe the reply to it would render the %knees refponfible in a civil foie: It was true, that in Mr. Peat's book, which had been frequently cited on the prefent occafion, there was a note, by which it thould appear, that an objection of this kind had been taken by the late Chief Jullice Kenyon ; but notwithilanding his high opinion of the minute accuracy and great learning of that Reporter, he thought he had, in this inftanee, been guilty of a millake on two grounds: ill, becanfe he hirnfelf had been Counfel in the cattle, and had no recolleftion of the circumtlance ; idly, becaufe if that note were correct, Lord Kenyon mull have been guilty of an obvious contradiction of his own principles and f•n tiatents, as the L appeared even on the face of the fame report. His ordthip was of opinion, that the Bill now propofed would not effeauallyanfwer the purpofe intended by the Noble Mover : lie molt heartily con curred in the objeft, but moll materially differed from him on the means of dealing it. Notwitlitlatie ing fume difference of opinicin among high au:hc: - ties, among perfone for whom he had the gieateit 1 - veneratiols; yet he plaid not help thinking that the law ittelf was tmembarrafted from thefe contradi - ' Lions. He confidered it fo far precife, clear, and perfpicuous, that it was neceffary no new law fhould ' be promulgated; otherwife than in the form of a de claratory law, by which it fbotild be announced what had been tit: law, what was the law, and what ought to be the tau, and what Mould be the law of tts land as to this important particular. On thefe grounds be could nor give his airent to the 13111 now euggefted; and if no other Noble Lot d, more compe tent than himfelf, would undertake the hofineA, he fbould himfelf move a legillative regu:ation, with the view to place the (Ignition for ever iii repofe.
