The Ifiniottrable Alember then pointed out the extraordinary, power' b ilged in the Judges of Wales. They exercised.l n jurisdiction in Wales similar to - that-of the Lord Citanceiler and the Chief Justice of tl a C attrition Pleas. And . since these Welsh Judges possessed such extensive. anthoray, it was the duty of Parliament to leek with some degree of jealousy to the way in which they es-, ercised it.

KENIUCK. 1 ~.-N ay . .iy menu..--. _ stated ; namely, the purpose, as the Papee (The Morn ing Chronkk) stated, of wresting from the prior wretch the freehold which he possessed. But no: he admitted himself that he wets desirous, at he said, " to get rid of a bad neighbour;" and for that purpose he hai, fur the sake of so miserable a piece of property as a small elm slab, brought this prosecution for felony against him. The tact was, the circumstances against Franks were not sufficient to establish a charge of even suspicion of felony against the most notoriously dishonest character in the world. He did not wish to cast any imputation on the Magistrate, Mr. Burgess, who had committed Franks, but he certainly coaceived that the Judge in those Cases was not very apt to exercise, perhaps, any involuntary influence over the mind of the Magistrate. but when this causeless suspicion was compared with the conduct of the same person in the instance of a sheep which was found by the owner in circumstanced of real p suspicion, when a wa'rint had been refused to the person who lead lost the sheep,- it certainly did seem that some undue motive lurked beneath, and influenced the actions of the defendant. Many Of the articles which. bad appeared in The Morning Chronicle on the subject had been accompanied by sums for the use of the pour man while he lay in prison in a state of utter destitution ; and it was during this period that Mr. Senrick had published that letter to Mr. Collet, which appeared in lhe .Staarforel News, and which, in fact, was written for the purpose ut being published in that paper. It was surprising too, that Mr. Kenrick should net in that letter have brought forward that suspicion about the bloody knife, which he had hinted at in his petition yesterday. But he did bring forward many, and nothing could be fouler than the taking up some old account of a charge brought against Frank's child, a girl then only ten years of age, on whom a few - strips of silk and a pair of scissors had been found in a doll's box, a circumstance which it was clear Franks and his wife were perfectly ignorant of. After stating this circumstance, Kenrick added, " This was before the Act for the punishment of abettors in such cases bad passed;" thus insinuating, that had the Act been in existence, Franks and his wife would have been prosecuted under it. Again, the charge brought in this letter against Franks, that there was abundant proof of his having killed two sheep belonging to a Mr. Peters, another Magistrate, was perfectly false. It was declared by that Mr. Peters, that the only ground of sus picion (and amp but Mr. K. could have. tortured that into a suspiciousscircumstance) was a piece of paper once belonging to Franks which was found near the sheep-fold. This was declared to be an absurd ground on which to found suspicion, and, in fact, Mr. Peters declared he had never suspected Franks at all. All the insi nuations which Kenrick had throvra out against Franks's charatter were disproved by all the accounts of the same individual &rained - from those who knew him well. But the fact was, the attempt of Mr. Kenrick to fet poor Franks to pleat - guilty to this charge, of which be knew he was innocent, snowed that his object was indeed what he bad himself acknowledged—, the " . getting rid of a bad neighbour"—and the acquistuot of that bad neighbour's freehold. But Franks,Jilar I,a boneit man, and a spirited man, bad refused, Mil Slit the promise of impunity, to plead gdilty to td p . . charge, or to any one of which he felt conscious he *as innocent, and thus disappointed his prosecutor—(Hear). He would therefore ask the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite "If such a man is St to govern s speak !" • But he was not so, for, at all events, the conduct of the Inn had proved him to be completely ignorant of the duties of his station. How strange it was to hear it said, that this was not a matter of public interest— tbat it was nothing more than an inquiry into private sad domestic transactions between man and man. He wished the House to say, whether he (Mr. Denman) had not already said enough to shew that it was a case which called loudly for the interposition of the public voice, and which made it a point of duty with that Assembly to express, in the strongest and most decisive manner, the sense which they Mt of the value of a pure admi. nistration of public justice, by removing, in this in stance, an odious impediment to its progress. He bad heard it said that a lawyer ought not to have brought the subject under the consideration of the House. No Hon. Member ought to have said se without following it up by saying that a lawyer ought not- to have a seat in ch it House, because lawyers, from their habits of examining evidence to ascertain facts, and to detect misrepresentation, and from their jealousy of any mal administration of justice, were the persons most likely to bring forward such subjects. For his own part be would say, that no one had a greater repugnance to engage in such matters, but he felt that he shouid not have discharged his duty if he had not pursued the course which he bad. The lion. and Learned Member concluded by moving the following !Resolutions: a That k appears to this Hooks, that the charge against William Karrick, Esq. one of his Majesty's Justices of the Great Sessions is Wales, has been fully established by the evidence, except so far as that be applied for leave to withdraw the prosecution against Jahn franks, ran account of the said John Franks's good character. " 'flue it appears tv this House. that the said William Kennett, Faq. has bhowtt himself unfit to be continued- itt his present dffice ; and that a humble Addrew-beiresented to his Majesty, praying W- Kennck, toot his liLijesty will by ples.ea to remote the ssid . m. flog. from Ace at. Justice of the Great Sessions In Wales." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted that his Honourable and laainetl'Friend had been actuated by the purest motives, and was sure that he had tome /steward with a vie* of discharging what he felt to be _a duty. But his (the ittterney-Geilerafs) views, after looking through the evidence, were widely different from those of his Hon. and Learned fe.iend. What was the charge against Mr. Kearick ? His Hon. and Learned Friend was toot to be allowed to prefer one charge, and . endeavour to establish another —(/ /ear). Mr. Kentick was called upon to :tissue' a diitiritt and 'eclat charge.; his flow. F 1 ier.l said. " I will chew that he has been guilty of an ,, ther." The charge was, •this--:--thiet rlr. ltienrick preferred a chirge it Woo! !rteripst John Franks. en which charge he had been committed by Air. Burgess, a Magistrate, and of which fru had been acquitted by. a Jury. .111cre was no accu sation of corrupt motives or of malice ; yet lii, lion. Friend said, not that this charge was proved. but that another chargt: of a deeper distracter had been sub which Mr. Kenrick had never fiee n c..tied to answer. Had this proceeding taken place bifort snother tribunal, his -Hon.:Friend. ovoid, have teen told that he Awar n not, competent to adopt this . course—that he must confine himself to the reco rd. Tlie course was unjust to Mr. Kenrick, for this obvious reason ; could we be lure that if the charge had been differently worded, Mr. Kenrick would not have ad duced evidence to refute it? This was enough to shew the unjust course pursued by his Hon. Friend—f Hear). But was it any offence to prosecute a man on insufficient evidence? Could any civil action be maintained— could any verdict be got against a man on account of - ouch tin act, utiles: malice could be sbewn ? The terms of the charge contained no crime cognisable by law. Mr. Kenrick was charged with having preferred an ac cusation on insufficient evidence; but this very evi dence was adduced before Mr. Burgess, who committed the prisoner. - It followed ► then, that Mr. Burgess must be charged as well as Mr. Kenrick. On that very evi ' dence, too, the Grand Jary found the bill. Ns undue influence over the witnesses was imputed; there was Nothing to impeach their character ;,they told the same story to Mr. Kenrick, to Mr. Burgess, and to the Grand Jury ; and the House was now to say that Mr. Ken rick was actuated by malicious motives.. His Learned Friend said the property was trilling: it might be sot Tile law said that the act of taking it was a crime.— With regard to the slat., it was not proved that Franks did not know it was not his own ; he owns that he sew it. He (the Attorney-General) did not mean to insinuate that kranki stole the timber ; he maintained 'hat it was a fit case to go before a jury. What was Mr. Kenrick's answer fo the charge respecting the cottage? He swore distinctly that his negociations on the 'subject of that cottage had been entirely over six years before the pro secution in question was thought of. The charge of vindictive feelings, on the store of a refusal by Franks to give a footway through his grounds, was negatived, it possible, more completely. There had been an its. closure of common lands, in consequence of which two pieces had Leen allotted to Frans: and a man of the name of Gates. These pieces not being conveniently situated for the use of the parties, Mr. Kenrick had exchanged them for two other pieces of his own, which abutted on their gardens.. The houses being adjoining to each other, Mr. Kenrick had told Flanks that he ought to give Gates a way through his allot ment, or he could not enjoy his own conveniently; Pranks had refused to do this; and for that refusal it was said that Mr. Kenrick bore malice against him. The second part of the accusation against Mr. Kenrick was no better supported than the first ; that part which regarde4 the publication of the libel in Drakard's Stamford NOG —The Rouse would not consider it, morally, >1 very grievoua crime on the part of Mr. Kenrick, if in a private letter to a near connec don, answering a call from that connection for defence lei explanation, be bad made some charges against the party accusing him which it was not afterwards in his power to prove. Ms. Collet, to whom the letter was written, bad sent it to Drakard, the proprietor of the Stamford Paper ; but white was the slightest evidence to show that he ever had Mr. Kenrick's authority for so doing? And the contents of that letter—the unproved charges it contained—what were they ? One expression accused Franks of having been privy to the petty theft committed by his daughter. Well, all the circumstances l of that affair were favourable to such a supposition ; and k was clear that Mr. Kenrick had not invented it when be wrote the letter, beaten alert of.Ftanksasavidestce admitted the same accusation to have been made before Cblit.,Dasseax tweeted the Right Hon. Gentleman a read that pan of Flankei evidencel—The words were these— Referring to the time Whig tote charge of theft had been made against his daughter, Franks sad— “ I do net know that Mr. Kenrick then threatened to prosecute me ; but he jumped up in a great passion, and said if he could catch hold of me he would make a public example of me." The charge with respect to the sheep was certainly unfounded; but it did not fol low therefore that Mr. Kenrick, at the time when he Wrote, had not believed it to be true. The charge against Mr. Kenrick of having tampered with Franks: wife while he was in prison, and endeavoured to per suade her to apply to the parish for relief, that she might be compelled to sell the cottage—was positively sworn by Mr. Kenrick to be untrue, and that Gen tleman's affidavit was not contradicted. With• re spect to the third and last division of the accusa tions against Mr. Kenrick,—to wit, that when Franks had been some time in prison he was anxious to liberate him, and get the matter quietly over,—that was a charge which the facts of the case rather more than contradicted. The evidence stood thus :—A few days before Franks' trial would have come on his wife went to Mr. Ken: ick to request his forbearance. Mr. Kenrick's answer was, that he would write to the gaoler; and if he found that he acknowledged his offence, and expressed con- ' onion, he would exert himself in Court to procure a lenient sentence." Now this, it was said, bad been offered, because Mr. Kenrick knew he was innocent, and was anxious to induce him to plead guilty..— With Kenrick's promise to do this with respect to the sentence, Frank's wire was not sat'sfied. She said, "It this happens we are still ruined. My husband is a sub- Isce iber to a benefit society ; and by the laws of the so ciety. if he is convicted of felony, he forfeits all benefit from the subscriptions which we have been paying."— Mr. Ktnrick then thought that the man bad suffered enough. lie wrote to the Clerk of the Peace fur the county to know if the recognis - ance could be with drawn. Oa•finding that they could not, he forebore to appear himself at the trial, and kept away the material witness; and the result, as he wished, was, that the pri surer was discharged. put It was, doing Mr. &mink almost in. justice to enter into this kind of detail, when no ease—he was lsbund to say this, and he was sure that the House would agree is it—had been reasonably establlblied against him. No man could feel more strongly than he diskthe importance of keeping tie seat of justice pure • but he could see nothing like a charge made out against Mr. Keurick to warrant the House is adopting suck a resolution as the Hon. Member for Nouinghaat (Mr. Denman) calkd for. Sir E. KNATCHBULL said a few words • bat the rued cry of '• awake made their meaning anlntellihk in the gallery. Me. DEN MAN shortly Aid he should withdraw his modem— `(Cries of •• Hear, hear?) By the cheers of the Right Hon. Gem demist. it appeared to him (Mr. Denman) that they seemed to consider Watts a species of triumph ; but he could tell the House that nothing had transpired to shake his Ant estavictioa. He had done his duty—he had called the attendee of the House tithe ,transaction ; and in doing so be thought he bad done but right. The motion was then segatived without a division. The Order of the Day was neat read. WAVY CSTIMA Tit.. Mr. Itacomm brought op the tteport of the Committee of &sp. !ply. On the mottos; that the Report be read, Sir F. OLMNIANNEY complAieled of the hardships ,to which the widows of. Assistant Surgeons were sub jected, particuLnly tiro of them, for whom the Hon. Member had endeavoured - in to obtain redress; o the relative situ.siion of Pursers and Captains' Clerk., the Admiralty having ho power to reward litter, iri consequence of thi regulation which forbad more Parsers to be appointed thin there were ships. The Hon. Men berg roe notice of his intention to move for at return of the number of Assistant Surgeons Widows who bad applied for pensions between 1803 and 1809 —the time when the new regulations were curled into effect.— The Report was then ordered to bt read. On the part being read relative to granting 50,000 men for the service of the Navy, including 90u0 itlar hies, Mr. HUME- said he hid heard nothing yet to con vince him that these large establish inents were necessary. When these estimates were framed, the Ministers could not have eontemplated the circumstances under 'which `the country was now being placed ; end he regretted that none of them were present, as he had hoped that they would have given a promise to reconsider the subject. If the House would not support hina. the ginisters were right to do as they did in Aeping uls these enormous establishments; but he thi.uld do his duty, and enter his protest against them. As far as hi could understand the speech of the Honoirable Gentle. man who. preceded him, it appeared that he had taken two widows under his eipecial protection—(a who had claims upon the Admiraky, but could not obtain satisfaction. It was useless for any ierosos to apply in that cleaner who were not backed by family interest. Young men who had the support of the aristocracy were continually hoisted over the heacis of old and deserving officers, for the sake of being afterwards pensioned off upon the State. He sa* this every day, and was sorry to say that the mass of the Nobility regtitarly put their ravager sons into the army and navy in order to m rite prevision for them •bt pensions' paid nut of the taxes attracted from a miserable and starving people. Ilse called on • the House to consider what might speedily be the result of that distress, and not to vote away mil:- lions that were to be squandered on the already opts lent, when the great mass of the people had not bread to eat. He.should therefore conclnde by moving an Ausendmeor, to the following effect Th it_ the House cannot take into its consideraton the Report on the Committee of Supply on the Naval Bstimatcs,recom mending the sum of 1,638,0001. for the Service of the Navy, without referring to the Report of the Select Finance Committee of 1818, the Eighth Reprrt, and to the following words:—' Always bearing in mind, that not ships and stores and military arrangements are alone necessary for the safety, or for the glory of the country, in the event of war ; but thatioances recruited during peace, and wealth and industry generally dif. fused through the nation by all practicable savings of eXpense, and consequently diminution of burdens, are at least of equal importance; while they tnaittly contribute towards the happiness and comfort of all Glasses of society at the present time; and that, in eensegoenee, the House recommend the Campine, to the Estimates, and reduce them so as to_ be marcesisable m t tt present state of the country." Lord JOHN RUSSELI. seetmdeil the motion. Er tramline', he was sorry to observe, prevailed in all the Ruimatei; lithos* for the Army even more than in thou for the Navy and he should, with the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, divide the House on the amendment. On the question being put, • - Sir G. COCKBURN said, that the naval force in many quarters could not be reduced without' great discontent and injury to the mercantile interest. 'There were few places abroad where a trade with this country was carried on that did not feel the necessity of pos sessing the protection of our :hips of war. Those who were connected With the Admiralty, as he was, - could have no desire for an augmentation *of force..-inch augmentations caused them trouble, and if they mettett consulted their own Convenience, they would seek to have as little to do as possible; but they felt bound to consider the public interest rather than their o a n case. The House, he trusted, would recollec., that our tt'ade in the Mediterranean stood in need of pro wino ; it was in danger, from the aggressions of bath the belligerent parties. It was with great delight and satisfaction that he had it in his power to assure the House, that our naval officers—though it could not be expec...a that they should prove ern nest diplomatists- - -ii.id con ducted themselves on many trying occasions with most laudable skill nod discretion; and had managed their intercourse with such dexterity, as to have preserved the honour and dignity of the country untaniished, at die same time that the best understanding was preserved with the powers in whose neighboorhood they were stationed. He was sure that House would require but bide consideration to concur with him, that the naval force of the country could not be less than the amount proposed, without doing infinitely more mischief than the sum laved would be sufficient to compensate for.— The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had spoken of the pre ference shewn to Members of distinguished families in the disposal of favours at the Admiralty. This charge be distinctly denied. No one who applied to bins for an interview ever experienced a denial, nor were just claims ever overlooked, even though they might come without the recommendation of ramify connexion. In fact, fa mily connexion received from him no attenti•n. The most pleasing reward that could be bestowed en a father was to confer promotion on his children ; and this he soomived to be ao unfair mode of proceeding. • Sir C. COLE expressed his conviction that the Ad miralty displayed the otmost fairness and impartiality in the pro motion of °lacers. He bad himself represented to the Lords the cases of two sons of Officers, and they had been advanced in con sequence. Having himself served in the Indian fitas, he might he allowed to express his surprise fhat the naval force on that sta tion was at an times so small ; it extended over one quarter of. the globe, from the coast of Arabia to the Pacific Ocean. lie bast commanded some frigates off the coast belonging to the Buttner, and he knew enough of it to be able to assert, that the assistance of ships or war and boats would be most valuable. 41ti silt the stations it was necessary to keep a considerable naval force [oh' the protection of the trade of t►is country, and no whets was its pre ►ence more required than in the Mediterranean. Mr. WYVILL bad great pleasure in voting for the amendment of his Hon.,Friend (Mr. Home) in order to compel Ministers to observe the strictest economy. Mr. ROBERTSON supported the Amendment. lie wu nrprised that no Alinistu was in the House to account for the increase which appeared in the euirnates. The Lords et the Ad miralty bad nut given an adequate cause for the increase. Naysl force was not wanting in India. There was no utility to be de rived from the employment of seamen in the Burmese war. Mr. CROKER said, he had that morning received front the Comotander-in-Chief in India, dispatches, stating that I.e had collected a force on the River Ransoms, and w•s to Preeeeti immediately with an expedition against the enemy, consisting of snore that 1,600 men. This proved beyond a doubt chit naval faces were useful in India. Mr. HERRIES was surprised at the course pursue.l by the Hon.

There was no divi sion the Committee, no objection made there to this partlesslar 'apply; and yet the lion. Gentleman wished by a general mea sure to get rid of it. 'lle lion.
