This was an appeal from the Court of Session (Scotland). Heard out.—Judgment postponed. Mr. Terments, from the Treasury, presented certain Papers relative to the regulation of Public Offices. Mr. DAVCXPOCT, Mr. SIVAS? WORTLEY, and other Members ler the House-of Commons, brought up the Bill for Lighting the Town of Halifax with Gas, and four Road Bills, which were severally read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented certain Papers that had been roved for relative to Ilchetter Jail. Lord MELVILLE moved that there be laid before the House a copy of the Commission directed to the Lords Com missioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of England. Ile wished this document to be produced prepara tory to a Bill which he intended to move for on the following day, to amend the Act which declared that the duty of the Board of Admiralty should not be performed by less than three Commissioners.—The motion was agreetTto. SUBsTITUTE FOR COFFEE. Mr. Adrian, of the Treasury, was called to the bar of the House, pursuant to an order madt to that effect, and was ex amined by the Marquis of Lansnown. Being asked if be had received an Order of that House, dated the 11th of March, fur producing a copy of the Order given by the Commissioners of Excise for seizing roasted wheat and other grain under the -de nomination of Breakfast Powder? he answered that he had. Being asked what passed on that occasion? he said the person who brought the Order asked him if it was right to leave it with him, and he told the person that it was. What did you do in consequence of receiving such communi- 1 cation ?—I transmitted the Order to the Board of Excise, in a letter, which was signed by Mr. Lushington. Did you receive a second Order from Mr. Walmdey, one of the clerks of this House, and at what time ?—Yes ; I received an Order on the 234 of March, and I communicated the same, in a second letter, to the Board of Excise, informing them that they had not complied with the first Order, and that the House demanded a return forthwith ; and requiting a return to be made with all possible dispatch. This letter was signed by Mr. Lush ington, and dated Treasury Chambers, March 23. Did you • in consequence of the last letter, receive anything from the Board of Excise?—l did; the return was put into the hands of Mr. Lushington this morning. Did you receive any communication from the Board of Ex cise before this morning ?—None whatever. Mr. Adrian held in his baud the Papers he had received from the Board of Excise; and having stated, in answer to a ques tion from the Earl of laysaroot, that these Papers were origi nals, he was directed to prepare copies of them, and present the same to the House. The Marquis of LAT4SDOWN now observed that their Lordships must perceive that nu neglect of duty whatever could be imputed either to the officer of the House who served their Lordships Order at the Treasury, or to the person belonging to the Treasury who received that Order • but that the whole blame lay with those on whom the Order had been served at the Board of Excise. It would therefore be necessary to follow up this inquiry, by calling on one of the Commissioners of that Board to account for the reason why the Order of the House had not been complied with. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the proper person to call before the House, for that purpose, was the Secretary to the Board of Excise. Earl GREY observed, that the Secretary might not be able to give the necessary information. The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied, that the regular mode was first to examine the Secretary of the Board, and, if he could not give the information, then one of the Commissioners might be called. Earl GREY apprehended that the inquiry might, by this means, be extended too far. He thfiught some of the Commis sioners ought to attend as well as the Secretary. The Earl of LIVERPOOL then moved, " That the Secre tary of the Excise Board do attend that House on Monday next." Ordered. Mr. ADRIAN again appeared at the bar, and presented a copy of the return transmitted to the Treasury by the Board of Ex cise, containing the instructions which had been given by the latter for seizing roasted wheat and other grain, which went un der the denomination of breakfast powder. The Earl of LIVERPOOL asked Mr. Adrian who was the messenger who had been sent with the order of their Lordships to the Board of Excise? Ile answered Thomas Woodyer.— Being asked if he had ascertained the fact of the delivery of the letter at the Board of Excise ? he answered he had not. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved, " That the messenger, Thomas Woodyer, do attend at the bar of the House on Mon day next."—Ordered.--The House then Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT withdrew the notice of a mo tion which stood for this day, relative to Mr. Hunt, and 'oboe quently filed it for Tuesday next. Mr. N. CALVERT presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land attending Hertford Market, complaining of the inadequacy of the measures proposed by Ministers to give relief to the farmers, anctit expressed their hope that the House would withdraw their confidence from his Majesty's present Ministers.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. LENN ARD gave notice, that he would, on the Bth of May, bring on his motion (which was a dropped order of yester day) for repealing the 60 Geo. 111. c. 6. fur preventing Se ditious Meetings; and chap. 8. of the sante year, fur the punish ment of blasphemous libels ; and he gave notice further, that lie would on the same day, move the repeal of chap. 9. of :he same year, for compelling publishers to give security.

Scarcely it (fay passed that some instance did not occur of the, arhitraty interference of the P.xcise , ofilcers with the venders of this powder. Ile held in his hand a l etter f rom a person Who sold this powder, mit with a view to defraud the Revenue; but with the declared intention of selling a cheap and whoksome beverage. lie was sure that the 41st of Geo. 111. which was the Act under which persons selling this powdet were prosecuted, could never have been intended to prevent the sale of what was put for*ard by the dealer as roasted wheat re duced to powder. Eloweirer, this unfortunate man was prose.: cuted by the Exciie Board at a time When he was Confined to prison, and the Clerk of the Cohrt informed his brother; if hc would plead guilty the penalty zheuld not be enforcede—i, However, when the term of his imprisonment had expired, he was surprised to find a detainer laid on hint for £6O, the penalty which he had reason to believe had been remitted. Mr. LUSH' NGTON said; that the subject generally had been referred by the Treasury to the Board of Excise, and they were now deliberating hoie far it would be expedient to permit *heat powder to be left in the hands of the dealers, with a view to the protection of the Revenue. Mr. ABERCROMBY considered it a monstrous thing, that if • man invented a powder which was more cheap and more wholesome to consume than coffee, he was not at liberty to sell it. He hoped the Report of the Board of Excise would be laid on the table as soon u it was made, and that a Cotnmittee would be appointed to consider the same. Sir ROBERT WILSON said, he was satisfied with the ex• planation of the Honourable Gentleman. The name of the per son was Parker. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. SYRF.S presented a Petition from the Owners and Oc cupiers of Land, near Richmond, in the North /tiding of York shire, praying for relief. The Petitioners, he said, expressed their opinion of the inadequacy of the measures of Ministeri to afford relief to the farmer. They expressed themselves in strong terms upon the necessity of further reduction of expense. So strongly were they disinclined to agree with the Honourable Member for Yorkshire (Mr. S. Wortley), in his views upon the subject of agricultural relief, that thcy abstained from giving him their Petition to present.—The Petition was then brought up and read. Mr. S. WORTLEY said, he did not perceite any allusion in the Petition to any particular vote in which he had taken a part. He regretted being obliged to differ from any of his Constituents in opinion; but he believed the same indisposition which they felt to give him their Petition to present, they also 'hewed to his Noble Colleague, and for the same reason. He felt, as well as the Petitioners did, that the means of relieving the farmer would be to raise the prices. How was that to be done? He certainly was not one who would give relief to the farmer at the expense of the other bodies of the country. Tile great object which, in his opinion, the Parliament ought to have in view, was the keeping up of public credit. Ii they injured that, they destroyed not only the interests of the monied man--of the landlord—but even of that very body itself, of which those Petitioners formed a part. With respect to taxation, he was perfectly satisfied that the taking off of taxat: rn would not have the effect contemplated by the Petitioners. He had stated his sentiments freely on the subject of agricultural relief. If there were those amongst the body of farmers who thought that hts views upon the subject were erroneous, he hoped they would allow him the credit of disinterestedness, for everybody knew that his whole dependence was placed in the prosperity of the agricultural interest.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. DRUMMOND presented a Petition from a Distiller (Mr. Alexander Dunlap) in Scotland, praying that the Scotch spirits might be put on the same footing, as to the English mar ket, with that of Ireland.—On the questior being put, that the Petition be laid on the table, Mr. S. WORTLEY said, that he thought it would be some relief to the agricultural interest, if Scotch spirits were allowed to be introduced into this country in the same way as Irish spirits. He wished to know from the Secretary of the Treas;:ry if such a measure was in contemplation? • Mr. LUSHINGTON replied, that it would be more advis. able to leave it to the consideration of the A,gricultural Corn mittee.—The Petition was accordingly ordered to be referred to the Agricultural Committee. CA RULE'S SIIOPMAg. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that the Petition which he held in his hand, and to which he was about to call the attention of the House, was from a poor and humble individual now sufiering under the sentence of the law. The Petitioner complained that he was suffering under that sentence unjustly—that the Jury by which he was tried and convieteil was nut free and unprejudiced, nor was it possible that they could have been, because the same Jury, a few days he fore, passed an opinion on the subject of his prosecu tion, having tried and convicted another individual charged with uttering the same publication. It vas unnecessary for him to apprise the Howe, that 11:).• thing was more important to the due administration of justice in this country—nothing more necessary to the upholding, in its pristine purity, the sacred cha racter of trial by Jury, which our ancestors never violated, than that it should enter upon the trial of the accused unbiassed and unprejudiced ; and in no lease was this principle more necessary to be kept in view, than when the person on his trial was charged with a crime of a deep dye, because the more fla grant the crime, the deeper was the prejudice likely to be. The Petitioner, John Baker, only seventeen years of age, was one of those who had fallen vic tims to an Association usurping the name of Con stitutional." He, on the 4th of March last, was put on his trial for having uttered a blasphemous and se ditious publication. The trial came on befoie the Common Setjeant. On the impannelling the Jury, the Counsel for the accused objected to it : and here he (Dr. Lushington) prayed the attention of tile House to what he was about to state—if the House did not give the Petitioner some remedy, he had no other quarter from which he could obtain it. The Counsel for the accused, he repeated, objected to the Jury, because that Jury had already, only two days before, tried and convicted another person forhaving uttered the same publication. This objection of the prisoner's Counsel, the C•immon Sorjeaut said, VFA3 not well. founded. Now he (Dr. Lushington) con tended the objection was well founded ; and to be tried by a Jury who had already prejudged the case, was, in his mind, a direct violation and subversion of every principle of justice. In this opinion he was borne out by that great and constitu:ional writer, Lord Coke, who laid down that no pc, son, sine ex ceptione, who had judged a case, was fit to form one of a Jury which was to judge the same case again ; because, having already decided on it, he could not come to the investigation of it again with a mind free and unprejudked. Was he net then on this authority justified in saying, that the trial of the Petitioner by such a Jury was a violation of the first principles of justice? If an individual who had been on the trial of a case before, could nut come to it again unbiassed, how much mod unlikely was it THE GRAVEL AND STONE, LUMBAGO, &c.
