The Marquis of LANSDOWNE objected to the proceeding. The Home was placed in • most extraordinary situatioo.. - If the cosiduat 'et the Queen had been such as to demand Parliamentary vagary. in wiser situation would the House of Lords stand as the Cart of Judicature. - If an impeachment was recommended by use House of Commons u the grand Inquest of the country. audissa person would be bold enough to say the contents of • glom . bag might not lead to impeachment of the illustrious mem the House of Lords would stand in the situaion •of Jaen. . What could be the result of such a Committee. but an smirks from the individual Lords who had procured the exparte evidense, and that of five or six others who might be added to their amber. The Noble Lords who. had been some months in posseuies of the evidence wets, no doubt, able to form an opi bion es it, 'if so, why not direct the Law Officers of the Crown to pooled ha the open Constitutional form? The Earl of LIVERPOOL was most anxious to avoid stating the exhume of guilt in the illustrious person, and what he said runt bet taken hypothetically. Hail a direct case of guilt been mode out, within the operation of law, It would have been the dote of his Alin/sty'. servants to direct the law officers to institute the doe course of proceeding 4 •' but mom " said he Earl of Liesrpool, the Oise to be that the Queen has been guilty g a ligtreasse ; that is, supposing the commission of a perfidy r abroad. and the eVidence so strung and clear as to Lem se denim: I hare to infirm your Lordships, on high Iva audimity. that would not be high treason by the laws of iossaroy, esselesuld it be cognisaUe by the civil nibunals of this cottony. Thestetute of Edward the Third makes the act of adults,. committed by any person with respect to the • Queen Consort. high treason. The Act also makes it high treason in the Queen. if consenting, because she is an accomplice; but io a Me like this it will not apply, for if the Queen or Princess of Yaks commit adultery abroad with a foreigner, the foreigner ewes no a.legiantse to this country, and it would be no crime whatever.

He would not go to his grave without asserting. to the last moment. that the b e of that principle belonged to every individual, high or low. He supported the motion for a Secret Committee. believing that mode of proceeding best calculated to pentectinnocence, if innocence was to be protected. The Noble and Learned Lord gave an opinion upon the statute of Edward the Third, which agreed strictly with the statement male by the Earl of Liverpool. No spiritual court had jurisdiction in a caw where the adulterer is a foreigner. and the act committed out of the realm. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE explained. Lord DONOUGH MORE supported the motion. The Noble Lord said he differed in opinion upon this question from the Noble Lords whose views ibe had long supported. The Motion was ultimately agreed to, after which the House adjourned.
