He world therefore again ask, could such a solemnity, which had been performed with so little interruption, be a matter so indifferent as to render it of no consequence whether it was enjoyed or not ? Those who denied the existence of such a right, were bound to :hew how it had existed at all. It it were optional with the King whether the right should be enjoyed or not, it meant nothing. This he would lay down with the greatest confidence, as a principle of Constitutional law. There was. he maintained, no usage of any magnitude that existed at the Sove reign's pleasure. To assert the contrary would be to say that the King reigned .not for the realm's benefit, but for his own private en•is. The 14w held that such important ceremonies were for the realm's benefit; and every solemnity. the ori B in of which was lost iu antiquity, and the observance of which occupied a ' grrat share in the annals of the country, mist on that account be cot,si.tered a right of the realm, and not an appanage of the King. He held that a coro nation was of this nature. Long before the Act of William and Mary, regarding the Coronation Oath, &c. it WAS taken to be a high and ancient ceremony, with which the King could not dispense. It. was a right not of the. person but of the Sovereign,•to be I exercised for the benefit of the realm, and as a So- vereign on!) , he was kwt:•wn in that solemnity.— The Sovereign was the mere creature of the law, as those solemnities were the creatures of the creatures of the law ; and the Sovereign had only' to execute these solemnities of the realm for the benefit of the realm. Those who said that the Queen's coronation depended upon the King's pleasure, must be prepated to go another step, and say of the King's coronation that it also depended upon his will, and that it was a mere vain and empty ceremony-1n insignificant, an unmeaning, pageant ; for it must be so, if it depended upon his will whether it should be or•not. He was at a loss to know how this ceremony could be considered as the mere personal right, as belong ing to the man and not to the Sovereign. flow could it be said that he was not there in his political capa city, when perhaps, of all other occasions, it was then that his political capacity stood most forward, and that his personal existence was most deeply merged ? The coronation of the Queen rested precisely upon the same feeling; it was a right as ancient, and as constantly exercised as that of the King. With' re spect to the principle itself, though not bound to shew it, still he would deal a little with that part of the question, because he thought that the reasoning would throw much light upon the subject. It was, he said, likely that, in ancient times, the coronation was much more than a ceremony—it was an acknow ledgment, or probably the election of the Monarch— at which the King and Queen were shewn •to the people for their approbation : when the King was held up for the approbation of the people, every one would discover a good reason for holding up the Queen also, on account of her place, her natural con nection with the King. The necessary connection with the*rest of the Royal Family, made her an im portant and necessary figure in the Royal ceremony. He then referred to a Charter of the fifth year of the reign of John, in which there was a grant of dower to his daughter Isabella ; referring to the coronation of his Queen, it stated that she had been crowned with the common consent of the Barons, Clergy, and the People. He proceeded to shew the importance of acknowledging in every public manner the rights of the Queen of kngland—the necessity of holding her up not only as pure, but with conduct above sus picion. It was from her that the rightful successors of the Crown were to issue ; an.: it was above all things necessary that the legitimacy of that issue should be without taint or suspicion, in order to pre vent the greatest domestic calamity—a disputed Suc cession : upon an undisputed Succeaion, the peace and prosperity of the Crown depended. It was with that view that the Law of Treason, as far as related to the conduct of the Queen, depended. The law made no' istinction between a young Queen and a Queen advanced in life—between a Qu: en of eighteen and of eighty years of age—the law guarded with equal anxiety the Royal bed to the List hour of the Queen's existence. The Learned Gentleman then next proceeded to combat the argument that the co ronation of the Queen del:ended entirely npon the Proclamation of the King—the right of the subject depended upon the Crown issuing a writ of right in some cases, a Royal Proclamation in others. • Here he referred to the usual summons issued to an Earl's eldest son, to the issuing of a Proclamation in the case of prizes, and lastly, to the issuing of a Procla mation for the calling of Parliaments. These differ ent rights depended upon the Crown issuing its Pro clamation ; they could not be exercised or enjoyed without that Proclamation or summons ; but then tic question was, was the Crovin bound to issue Pro clamations in the one case, or its writ or its summons in the other? He contended that it would be mon strous to say that the Cwown was not bound,•strictly bound, to issue such writ, summons, or Proclamation. In case the Crown delayed, or refused to do so, he was not bound to say what diode was to be taken by the aggrieved subjects. Possibly impeachment would be the remedy. It was enough tor him to say that the Crown was bound—that it could not refuse to issue its Writ or its Proclamation ; and that w ith re spect to the coronation of her Majesty, the right was equally clear and the necessity equally obvious and imperative.. Put the Queen's claims upon the same grounds as the rights of the People, alio he was shti,_ tied. He had heard it said that the Queen was no Corporation, and had no right of preset iption. She was as much a Corporation as the King. And he would say, that'she could prescribe as a functi , -nary, and by virtue of the dignity and authority of her < slice. Chief Baron Comyn laid it down that Officeis could pre scribe, and-instanced the right of a Chancellor so ,o do. In 2o Roll, p. 264, it was laid down that a Se:jeant- Attnrney and Under-Sheiiff are all presum i aive, as hol,iing those places not merely for themselves, but with reference to the rights of all those who may suc ceed them in such offices.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, IN CONTINUATION FROM THE STAR or YESTERDAY. Mr. BROUGHAM proceeded.—lt was with reference to Henry's delay of that coronation, that Margaret of Burgundy declared it to be the only instance, since the Norman Conquest, of a Queen not having en joyed 'the solemnity of her coronation. He had, therefore, s% ith him the uniform enjoyment of the right her Majesty claimed; then the successful re sistance of an attempt, as in Henry's case, to delay the exercise of the right ; and, lastly, the total ab sence of any adjudication or confiscation, ' or any thing like either in any single instance against him. There was, in fact, no other possible way of shewing the existence of the right, but in the maiiner in which he was assuming, proving, and, as he thought, esta blishing it. How else, before the Court of were rights of service at the ceremou) of the Coro nation established? How else did the Barons of the Cinque Potts shew their right to carry the Canopy over the King, and to have a part of that Canopy for their service? Suppose any instance in which the Barons should, for want of specific proof, in the lapse of ages, fail to shew that they had exercised that privilege—would that countervail the validity of their claim, founded on repeated usage? Cer tainly not. He would venture to say that there were at lea-t half a dozen instances in which the Barons could not shew they had exercised their asserted right ; and would any of these instances, where that proof tailed, shake the firm hold of their long and undeniable u-age? In fact, he knew not any pos sible manner f panting a claim, or establishing it .before any tribunal, according to the principles of common sense, reason, or law, exce r t that by which he had shewn the right of the Queen-consort to exist in this case. It was the only way of establishing any such right ; it was the only way in s , hich any right was attempted to be established before the Court of Claims; and the only froofs receivable or admissible bet() e hat Colin were those which he now tendered to their Lor.fships. There was, the other day, a case decided by the Court of Claims, where the right had . fallen tor a long course of time into disuse. It w the claim set up by the successors of John Moyne, in the .ight of the Manors of Ogres iii Dorset, Ship ton Mor i 4ne in sslmice,tershire, ..ladington in Wilts, and Eysson atte siount in Es,ex— ,, per les services desire achatour del kuysine le Roy et lardiner le Roy a temps Coronomentz de Royes et de Itoignes Don ;4.kter, according to the words in tire Harleian ma nuscripts. The claim, as set torch L the original words he had read, was to be caterer of the King's kitchen, and 'orderer of the Kings and Queens. This record of service for the Queens, he begged of their Lordships to recollect was antecedent to the existence in England of a Queen-regnant, and could only there fore apply to a Queen-consort. The quotation was taken from the Coronation Roll of Henry V.—( Here the interruption was so great below the Bar, that it was impossilde to collect a few sentences uttered by Mr. B.) He was understood to state, that there was great complexity in the grounds laid for this claim of Moyne, owing to the disuse ; but, nevertheless, the Court of Claims admitted its validity, owing to the clear proof of the usage having existed in remote times. Upon a reference to the services which were to be performed at the ceremony of the coronation, it was clear, from the separate rights held upon the performance of particular kinds of attendance upon the Queen, that her part of the ceremony was sub stantive, independent, and principal—that her right was clearly within herself, and not dependent upon the mere will of the King. So essential, indeed, was it that she should be crowned with all the forms of pomp which belonged to such a solemnity, that the same writs of summons were issued, and nearly the same demands of service made upon Officers of State, as when the King himself was crowned. The usage clearly governed the right, and more especially in this solemnity of coronation, which was altogether the creature of precedent, and existed only by its authority. So completely was the Queen's right re cognized, that a separate ceremony was arranged; where the King and Queen were crowned apart from each other. Ile entreated the recollection of their Lordships to the cases he had cited yesterday. He had shewn them from the page of history, that nine Queens were crowned either with their husbands' original curonations,or where the Kings were crowned a second time, still more to grace the Queens coro nations; there were six cases of. the coronations of Queens alone after their Kings had been crowned, viz. the Queens of Edward 111. Richard 11. Henry HI. V. and VI. If the practice were invariably that the Queen's coronation should take place with the King's, then it might be said that her solemnization was merely as an auxiliary or corollary to his, and to give additional grace to the pomp of the King'S ceremony ; but that was not the case ; the Queen's', coronation was always performed with that separate attention to her rank which must have been intended to shew, at least, something more than mere forma.] lity ; it was a mark of respect evidently intended to the Queen as Queen, and independent of that always paid to the King. It was in itself manifestly a sub stantive, important, and independent ceremony, il lustrative of the tight of the one party, and•not de pendent or contingent upon the mere walla the Mo narch. The origin of the King's ceremonial was lost in remote antiquity; but the numerous tenures and dependencies determinable by the nonpeformance of services at the solemnity, shewed how important it was intended to be in the eyes of the people. The only grounds of right for the Kings coronation, the Queen equally had for her's; and there were, as he had already stated, separate forms prescribed for those who were officially to attend her during the ceremony. These would be found so ea,ly as the Saxon records, as he had noticed yesterday.— He should now beg leave, for the purpose of sheaving that fixed and important arrangements were always provided for the Queen's coronation, to refer to the Liber Regalia, to which he had called their Lord ships notice yesterday ; but before he did so, and as he had alluded to the circumstance of the book hair- - - - sing been withheld from het Niajesty's Counsel by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, he owed it to these reverend personages to state, that (as he had been informed) they were bound by an old statute of Elizabeth not to allow the book to be inspec ted. ith- out sufficient authority. That book he had since yes terday referred to; it was a manuscript of the feign of Richard 11. It contained a full account of three ceremonials. Ist, One of the King's coronation sepa.' rate from the Queen's, at least so far separate as merely containing the parts which belonged to the King himself; and in which the Queen had not to bear any part. In the manuscript were these words —" Si regina cum rege sit soronando ;" and then came the arrangements for diem both—" Ungere et corn flare reges Anglia algae regiuns ex antique consuelu dine he:denies *tunic, principaliter coastal." Where the Gospel which the Bishop had to say was laid down, then again one part was assigned for the King, and one for die Queen—" Verson si regina eodem die ungenda et coronanda sit." There was also ar '. angement about their receiving the Sacrament alone —" Tam ad r?gent quam ad reginant evangelium de podabit." Then if it be the Queen alone, the words ran thus--" Si regina sola sit coronanda." And again —" Sic recedet rex regalibus suit ornatus, sin present sit," &c. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then referred to the Red Book of Knights' fees in the Exchequer, folio 43, in which Gilbert de Sandford claimed, in right of his serjeantry, to be Chamber lain to the Queen at her coronation; and when Queen Eleanor of Provence was crowned at Winchester, he claimed the right of keeping the chamber-door, and having for his service certain fees therein named. Then Richard Vere, son and heir to Alice Vere,, claimed by virtue of the said manor, which he held ' by the tenure o, Grand Serjeantry by descent from Gilbert de Sandford, to serve at the coronation of the Queen of Richard 11. as Chamberlain to the Queen, and as Keeper of her Chamber-door on the day of the coronation, and to have certain fees, the bed, &c. in consequence thereof. He should next call the attention of their Lordships to the sum monses issued on the coronation of Katharine, Queen of Henry V. by which all persons were ordered to at tend at her Majesty's coronation whose lands were held by thetenute of doing her service upon that day. These summonses were now preserved in the Close Rolls in the Tower. He should likewise request them to notice, that when Queen Philippa was crowned alone, the Barons of the Cinque Ports performed the duty of carrying a canopy over her, and claimed, in consequence, certain fees as their right. In the coro nation of the Queen of Richard 11. Reginald, Lord Grey de Ruth yn, as possessor of the manor of Ashlee, Claimed to serve the napery as well at the coronation of the Queens as that of the Kings of England.— There was also a proclamation relative to certain , services to be performed on the coronation of Eliza' beth, the Queen of Henry VII. It was true that the proclamation for that coronation was not extant ; but a pioclamation existed fur the appointment of the Stewards' Court upon that occasion. The other pro. clamations to which he had alluded were not procla mations concerning the Stewards Court, but prods mations containing summonses calling upon every' one of his Majesty's subjects to come forward and perform the different offices which they were bound to perform by their tenures at the coronation of the Kings and Queens of England. To these procla mations he would add that made upon the corona tion of his late Majesty, when, by a dis inct procla mation, it was announced that "it was his Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that all who were entitled, by letters-patent to them directed, by offices, or by tenures, should attend at the ensuing coronation; such coronation being the coronation of our dearly beloved Earl of LIVERPOOL-Mr. Brougham, what is the date of the earliest document you have regarding the coronation of a Queen-consort, and does it refer to a separate one, or where the King and Queen were crowned together ? Mr. BROUGHAM said he could inform their Lord ships in a few moments, but he was not prepared to give an answer on the instant. At any rate it was as far back as the coronation of Philippa, Queen of Edward the Third. Thus it would be seen, that there were the rights of others interwoven with the right of the Queen—rights which they could only enjoy when the Queen exercised her right. There were the services, there were the claims, and the separate and distinct proclamations ; and could the whole mean nothing—absolutely nothing ? Was all unsubstan tial form ? Was all what might, or might not, be performed ? Was that which had always been an integral part of the coronation, when the King was martied, unimportant and insignificant? When the Queen's right was connected with the legal rights of other pe;.sons, could any one pronounce it to be pos sible that a right so used and connected was abso lutely nothing e Of all suppositions, that, he thot , ght, would be the most violent one. He might not be able to divine how the right had originated—he might not be able to chew what was the intendment of a curona 7 Lion—he might not be able to point it out as a prin ciple of the Constitution, as far as documents were concerned ; but if he could demonstrate what had been the facts, the presumption would be in favour of the principle. This inability to adduce evidence on some points, ought to be no argument againstliim . • .. ~ • t . _ I i •
