The French insist on the Senate's punishing them with imprisonment and bodily chas tisement in the House of Correction.

The Requisition was signed by forty of the inha• bitants. The following is the Opinion of the ATTORNEY GENERAL upon Sir FEANCIs BURDETT'S Arrest Query. The Serjcant at Arms attending the House of Commons bay. Ing in the execution of this Warrant been resisted, and turned oat of Sir Francis Butdett's private dwelling house by force, Your opi:non is desired, whether in the execution of this Warrant he sill he justified in breaking open the outer or any inner door of the private dwelling house of Sir Francis Burdett, or of any other person in which there is reasonable cause to suspect he is concealed, for the purposeof appre hending him. And whether he may take to his assistance i sufficient civil or military force for that purpose, such free acting under the direction of a Civil Magistrate. And whether such proceedings will be justifiable during the night as well as in the day time Opinion. " No instance is stated to Me, and f presume that none is to be found, in which the outer door of a house has been broken open under the Speaker's Warrant for the purpose of apprehending the person against who n such Warrant issued then being therein. I must, therefore, form my opinion altogether upon cases which have arisen upon the execution of Writs or warrants issuing from other Courts, and which seem to fall within the same principle. " I find it laid down in Semayne's caw, S Co. 91. that Where the King is a party, the Sheriff may break open the Defendant's house, either to arrest him or to do other execution of the King's process; if otherwise, he cannot enter. So if the Defendant he in the house of another man, the Sheriff may do the same; but he cannot break into the house of the Defendant in the execution of any process at the suit of an individual. This distinction pro-. ceeds, as I apprehend, upon the greater importance of enforcing the process of the Crown for the public benefit, than that of in• dividuals for the support of their private rights. Reasoning from hence, I should think that the Speaker's warrant, which had issued to apprehend a man under sentence of commitment for a Breach of the rrieilegesot the House of Commons, might be aecu:ed in the same manner with criminal process in the name of the Kt ag, inasmuch as thott privileges were given to the House of Comm ans for the benefit of the public only ; and the public are interested in the due support of them.—lf the act had been tone d and : ewer asked whether it could be defended, I should way the it could ; but where it is prevkaisly known that the execution rf the Warrant will be resisted bystorce, and if death should ensuch such a conflict, the Officer who executes the Warrior wield stand justified, or not, as the breaking of the house mai be h d lawful or unlawful. I feel myself obliged to bring this uodue notice, leaving him to judge for himself whether he will ire . e to act upon my opinion, which has no direct authority in p .it IQ support it, but mats upon reasoning from other cases, ..r • pear to me tn. i''!l within the same principle. Should s. ()IR e resolve to break into the house, if it be found necessary mu t be careful, first, to signify the cause of his coming, aed sake re , quest to open the doors, and not %Jae any force u it it aee:•are that those within will not comply; and he should he avni - • CA. him a the party whom he seeks to apprehend is within the linea 'For l. the purpose of executing the warrant, he may tak sufficient force of such deseription as the nature at the case ren ders necessary. If he has reason to apprehend a degree ut resis tsaunc c h e n which .ce w eau thm h i only ; bu be tth repelledis ea by Wiltaltp f orce , h e may ta k e se it Will be prudent to take with him also a Civil Magistrate. " I do not think it advisablf " The Officer shnui execute the Warrant in the night. iniderstani, that when Sir Francis Bur dett has once b'een arrested, it he afterwards effects his escape or IS feSCU his own house, or the house of any ..ther person into which he retreats, may be broken tor the purpose or re-taking hint.

'W'cre you consultea upon the subject of the Speaker's Warrant, as directed agaion Sir Francis Burden, at any time previous to the ctits being submitted to you upon the part of the Serjcant at Arms ?—I was never consulted upon the legality of the warrant, but was consulted upon the question, whether it could he exe cuted by breaking the outer ilr )1. of Sir Francis Burdett's house. When, and by whom the Saturday morning I was des• sirod to attend the Council, and 1 did attend h; I 'cannot charge my recollection with the time; I can recollect, from the effects of having sat up so late the preceding night, it was extremely late; I should think it was about one or two o'clock, but I will not pre• tend to speak to the time. I was astet, at the Ceuta what I t hought of the legality of breaking the outer doer of e !Tense; it was anew question !it arose upon the execu',on et a warrant, with the mode of executing so exeett'L, g the warrant, I mean, by which I was it: practice unaLliialinetl. No instance could be stated to me in which such a warrant had been executed by breaking the outer door (tithe house; I could therefore only reason from analo gy to other cases in the law, which I had in my recollection. The tendency of my opinion certainly then was, that it might be so exe cuted; that i,, that the Scrjeant bad a right, having demanded entrance, and being refused, and having stated the ground upon which lie demanded entrant.', ram lv, to execuie such a warrant, that lie would be justified iu breaking the outer door of the hothe. I stated at the same time that it was a question new, for the rea sons 1 have stated, and that I could not give a decided opinion ; but that as far as my opinion went, which was the result of rea soning, and not of any authority upon the particular point, I thought it might be so executed.
