BOROUGH OF ORAMPOUND. On the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Bill for disfranchising this Borough, Lord LAUDERDALE said, that before proceed ing to the Order of the Day, he should move for the production of the names of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Freemen, of the Borough of Grampound, as well of those who had been accused, as of those against whom not a tittle of evidence had been pro duced. The Bill appeared to him to be one of the most unjust ever brought into Parliament. Only eighteen of the accused were now in possession of the elective franchise, and against thirty-two no cvi dence had been produced; so that for the delin quency of a few the whole of the Corporation was to be punished ; on account of the misconduct of eigh teen, thirty-two Electors were to lose the elective franchise. And this proceeding was said to be un impeachable. A Bill that •tended to -deprive the humblest individual of his rights was as much *.Bill of Pains and Penalties as one that went to affect any of their Lordships. He had at one time been a Par liamentary Reformer ; but since he had seen cause' to alter his opinion. The People had heard of a cla mour for Parliamentary Reform, and,• like men in distress, imputed their distress to a cause that had no connection with it. The House should know the real state of the case, and he should move for the appointment of a Committee to report to the House the names of the accused and unaccused Freemen of Grampound. Lord CARNARVON had never in the abstract been a Parliamentary Reformer, but shciuld always give his opinion in favour of Reform when a gross abuse had been proved, as in the case now before the House. Out of 55, he understood, 48 had been accused of corrupt practices, and 41 had been proved guilty. Three years had elapsed before the trial had taken place; and in order to disqualify the voters, it was necessary the action should have been brought within two years. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not refuse his assent to the Motion of the Noble Lord. He had been always of opinion, that nothing was more dan gerous than a partial reform ; and it appeared to him to be most alien to the Law and the Constitution to take away the rights of innocent men. The Bill was, to all intents, one of Pains and Penalties, and an ex post facto law. In this case, innocent men would be punished in a more severe manner than the law had appointed for the guilty. The offences of individual Corporator could never be visited upon the Corpo ration itself; and that had been held by the most eminent Lawyers, in the case of the Borciugh of Col chester, and others. Had the innocent Freemen of Grampound been refused the right of voting at the last Grampound Election, they could have brought an action for damages in a Court of Law. The trust was reposed in-the Corporation after the guilty had been disfranchised. Such a proposition had never , been made before; and why was the franchise to be transferred to Leeds, or to the County of York ? He believed there were thirty-two as pure voters in Grampound as any in the kingdom. He should also object to extending the right to the Hundred ; though, if an alteration was to be made, he should prefer that to any other. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was sorry. to differ from his Noble and Learned Friend ; and he con ceived that this motion would go to defeat the Bill altogether. As to this Bill being one of Pains and Penalties, be must say, that a public trust, intended for the public benefit, had been abused, and Parlia ment had a right in such case to take away that trust. Should a Peer of the House be proved guilty of abusing his privileges, he would be deprived of them by a vote of that House; and such cases had taken place. In the case of the innocent voters, let them have votes in the County. Though he was an enemy to Parliamentary Reform, he was a friend to Bills of this nature. The argument of his Noble Friend went to this, that, though out of 1000 Elec tors 999 had been proved to be corrupt, yet, because one was pure, the place could not be disfranchised. At the same time, he did not approve of the remedy proposed by the Commons, and should propose another in the Committee. In the case of evident corruption, what necessity had created, necessity could limit; and the reason why he supported the Bill was, not because he was a Reformer, but be cause he was an Anti-Reformer. A general measure appeared to him to be the most unwise and inexpe dient ; it was the particular case that called for re medy. He should vote against throwing the fran chise open to the Hundred, on account of the other Cornish Boroughs. A case of systematic -corruption had been proved, not at one, but at many successive Elections, and none called more loudly for remedy. The principle of the Bill had been recognised in the cases of Cricklade, Shoreham, and Aylesbury, and even in those Bills that the House had thrown out. He should vote for the Bill going into the Committee. Earl BATHURST said, that the object of the Bill was completely to disfranchise the Borough of G ram pound. Had the same principle been adopted as in the case of Barnstaple; it should have had his suppoi t, as he saw no reason fur a deviation from the course that the House had formerly adopted. l'bete was nothing in this case to distinguish it from Cricklade and Shoreham. That had been a principle of ame lioration, while the present was one of extinction and of total change, and a change, too, uncalled tor by the circumstances of the case. In this case, the House was about to confer a great privilege on those who had not enjoyed k before; and the gleatest care was needful to guard against partiality, for which a wide door was opened, and to something like Par. I liana:atm y jobbi..g,„ 'f,) throw this power iu:o the PRICE SE\ 1::• ! r. hands of the Crown, he conceived would be more dangerous. By adding two new Members to the County of York, no new right would be conferred on voters, and that perhaps would be the least objec tionable plan ; but were he an inhaiiitant of the County of York, he should never assent to it, from the perpetual contests it would occasion. Lord REDESDAI.E opposed the Bill as one which resembled the principle of the Representative system once adopted in France, %%hen Representation was fixed according to the population ; and nothing could be More dangerous than a principle of this kind. It was the beginning of a new system which might grow up to the utter destruction of the present state of Representation in this kingdom.. The Marquis of LANSDOVVN observed, that if the right of voting was to be extended to the Hundred, as the Noble Secretary of State recommended, or if any other alteration was to be made, it could only be done by sending the Bill to a Committee. The Earl of LAUDERDALE spoke in reply. Earl BATHURST observed, that all he had said was, that if the Bill had proposed to extend the fran chise to the Hundred he should support it; but that could not now be done by sending the Bill to a Com mittee; for in that case, every clause of the Bill must be altered. The Motion of Lard LAUDERDALE was then put, and negatived without a division. On the question for committing the Bill, Lord SIDMOUTH said he would have no objec tion to the extending the right of Election to the Hundred ; but he could never consent to the dis franchisement of the Borough. The Marquis of LANSDOWN wished- that the Committee on the Bill should be postponed to Mon day next ; because, if it had been anticipated that this unexpected discussion was likely to take place to-day, several Noble Lords, not then in the House, would have been prevent. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no objection to the postponement. The Earl of WESTMORLAND said he should oppose the Bill in every stage. The motion for postponing the Committee to Mon day systs then put and carried, and the I.Ords were ordered to be summoned for that day. At Half past Seven the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SIMANZIL took the Chair before four o'clock. Mr. CREEVEY gave notice that he would, on Thursday, the 24th inst. submit a motion respecting a Fund called the Four and a Half per Cent. Barbadoes Fund. Mr. DENISON rose to present a Petition from the Inhabitants of Christ Church Parish, Surrey, praying the House not to pass into a law the Newington Se lect Vestry Bill. The Petition was said to be most respectably and numerously signed, and deprecated the injustice of the Bill in the warmest terms. The Honourable Member also presented a Petition from an individual, named James Comer, of Frances street, Newington, on the same subject. This Peti tioner was rather singularly situated toward the House. It was known that the Bill in question was founded upon a Petition to the House, signed by one hundred and six inhabitants of Newington, who were said to be amongst the most respectable of the parish. A Petition was afterwards presented against the Bill, signed by no less than 1,965 persons. Comer was one of those who signed the former Petition, but be came forward now to say, that he had been induced to do so from a misconception of tha objects of the intended Bill, having understood that the Bill *as for repealing the Statute Duty, and protecting the inhabitants against the Highway Act, and not for creating a Select Vestry in Newington. He pro tested against the principle of a Select Vestry in the parish. The Petitioner, in conclusion, prayed letve to withdraw his name front the former Petition, its order that he should not be liable to the charges arising out of the operation or the Bill. Sir ROBERT WILSON presented a similar Peti tion froth W. Copely, of Walworth, Newington, who had also signed the Petition, and prayed the same re lief as the former. Mr. WHITBREAD one from John Millet. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNX one from G. Ives, and Mr. LAMBTON one from Thomas Clark, all si tuated like the former Petitioners. This last Peti tioner stated that he was told the Bill for which he petitioned was an enactment for removing the dust from the parish. These Petitions were all ordered to lie on the table. Mr. H. SUMNER presente4 a Petition from Jan Chinon, agent and solicitor, in favour of the New. ington Select Vestry Bill. The Petitioner stated that some measure of this sort was wanted to preserve order in the parish. The greatest inconveniences had arisen from the disorderly and crowded Vestries which were usually held. On one occasion, no fewer than one thousand persons were present, and it was found necessary to send for the Ur:ion-hall Police to disperse the assembly. He then went on to make some complaints against the Committee on the Bill, asserting that they had recei”ed some improper evi dence at a time that strangers were esc:ulcd from the Committee-room. Mr. CC RWEN here interrupted the further read ing of this Petition, and protested against its being re ceived, on the ground that its language was highly offensive to the house. It was most improper in the Petitioner to arraign the conduct of the Committee, at a time too, when strangers were excluded (hear). -The SPEAKER was of opinion that there was no inegularity in the Petiti o n. The Petitioner did not arraign the conduct oft he Committee, 6nt sought re lief from thelioue against the re,ult of their decision. . Mr. 1 - 117AIE had never heard such a Petition teal in that house before—(iear). lle asked if it did nut contain a charge against the Ctimmittee to this effect—" That the Committee ha ti decided contrary to the usual forms and practice`of the House on such O:CkUi‘WY If those words were to in bound . ih the
