COMPLAINT AGAINST BARON M'CLELLAND6 ' 1 Mr. BROUGHAM said be held in hishatid a Petitioe t : which, from its importance, lie considered deserving d attention. It Waithe Petition of Mr. Robert Quin (et Paine) surgeon,of Belfast, in Ireland, complaining of an abuse in the administration of the law: Of the Petitioner,. or the merits of his case, be (Mr. B.) of course knew no thing, and the absence of the Hon. Member for the Peti tioner's County prevented his obtaining any information in that quarter. which he might otherwise have applied for. He could, therefore, no otherwise recommend the facts for authenticity, than as they were borne out by the authority of the Petitioner himself. The Petition had been pot into his bands, and tiuding the langnagi re spectful to this Honse, he undertook to present It—fur thermore, he vouched tint. The facts were as follow : live years ago Petitioner said, an action in the case for as assault was tried before Mr. Baron 51*Clelland and a Special Jury, in which lie was plaintiff and another party defendant. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant with costs. For these costs Petitioner was taken inexe. ention, and continuing nnahle to discharge them, was , finally made insolvent. His prospects in life, .whioh bed been fair enough before, were now totally basted. Titus' much for the general ontline of the case, out of .t.'wliieh arose the twofold charge, first against the Sheriff aid re turning Officer of the Court, for packing a.Jury; second ly, agaiist the Learned Judge for misconduct whilst presiding at it. To the first part, the petitioner said, that after an none was joined in the case, an application was made In Court to -have the ruse struck for a Special Jury, but as the distringas and venire bad been' already sued out to the Sheriff, the 'application came too late, and vs as therefore pr. perly refused. 'T. this • nO, ' db jection of course was made by the rtitiouer, more ape. daily as the application came from the other side. He merely observed the panel was not the same as was in tended fur the trial of the other revises, being the -I of the yea? preceding. But now came the g i st of mtr ibis part of the complaint. Although the Court refused the application of the defendant for a Special Jury, because it was. too late, and of course a later one was granted. cad that . to an officer who was not a party to the cause Four days previous to the assizes, the returning officer of the Sheriff applied to have the cause set down for a Special July, and succeeded.— Whether this was or was,not the act of the Court, he (Mr. B.) would not undertake to say, but it appeared to Ida unaccountable that the Mune Court whim bad some time before ruled spinet a similar applicetion , as too late, should p ranted the request at a•time that the object was ten fold stro.iger, and that too to a party who had no rig ht whatever to Interfere. He applied it' as the'att of en it , ferior officer of the Court. The Special Joey, so stela& the petitioner statea r was composed exclusively of the de fendant's friends, and were entirely of his own eboostier.... Tile majorityprere either reputed or avowed Orangemen.— The Petitioner was a Roman Catholic—the defendant a Clergyman of the Established Church. l'he Sheriff was his cousin-german, and his Attorney was the es-partner of the Officer whosranted the Special Jury. He (Mr. B.) did not know hog' an inferior officer could take on himself to grant a rale for a Special Jury, for he ought tufty to be the minister of the Coon giving authenticity to their decrees. — The returning ',dicer of the Court was the law-agent of the Sheriff. The easier was the first milled the fret morning of the Assizes, but perhaps that was not missal in Ireland in Special Jury easel, which were always lived for a certain day. It was tried before Mr. Baron hl'Cleitanri, who sat in the Crown Court, though the other Judge was sitting in what the petitioner calls, the " Record Court," or the Nisi Prins Cease kern. The fact was, perhaps, that both Judges were slitting at Nisi Prins, a happens here sometimes to. w.rds the end of the Assizes. An objection to the models which the Jury was struck, was taken by the plaiatirs counsel, but over-ruled, and the cause was called on.. Here the second pert of the complaint began,—viz. teat against the presiding Judge. It was, as before stated, an action of damages for an assault, the peculiar mature of which renders the eireemstane,s of the affray important.— The two parties it appeared had been at a theatre in Ar magh, whilst the air of "GOD save the King " was playing. The defendant, a clergyman of the Church tif England, went up to the petitioner, and after rebuking him in some very harsh terms, openly attacked him for remaining covered, which he said was dune in contempt of the music. This the p-titkiner denied, end some of the bye-standers also es deavoured to convince the defendant that the petitioner did net keep his hat on in contempt. The former, how. ever, persisted. he (Mr. B.) would not mention hie name, , and at length 'besotted the petitioner, swearing " by the bini—tat One. tnet if he did not take offhis*hat, he would knock off his hat."—(Loud lauglifug.) He (Mr. B.) had stuted facts before which were not T. c meileable in a legal view, but this language was totally at variance with all no - lions of clerical propriety.—(Laughing) He went on abasing the petiti wire, and. when " Patrick's Day," which was the national air, came after, he kept his hat on, expect ing that the petit or.er would hese assaulted him also. This, however, did not take place. All these facts were incon trovertibly proved at the trial, and no defence was at t.-elided—not a witness was examined on the other side. When it came to the Learned Judge's turn to charge the Jury, he said " the specific breach of law is decidedly against the defendant. but notwithstanding, gentlemen, you must find for the defendant—in honour of our good bid King, who has been properly called the father of his peo ple." —(Lond laughing.) The peiitioner offered to prove every part of the statement at the bar of the House. He prayed that the Sheriff end returning officer might be sum moned to the bar, and he also preyed what he (Mr. B.) was afraid could not be greeted him, a new trial from the House. If they would for once overstep their authority, he (Mr. B.) would only sugg st that they would order the trial to take place in the City of Westminster. }ferrite he sat down, be wished to say a word as to the statement which he had made' on a previous night, respecting the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (Lord Norhury). What had occurred then was not aechlental, and he would 'not retract a word of what be had said, though a contradiction had been given to it by a Dublin piper. He bad made the statement upon the authority of a private letter, which vouched for what it stated, and which was not voi....thed in terms so unqualified as he had used. The Chief Justice himself did not deny the fact, for when he had the printer of the Newspaper tile (Dublin Morning Post) brought before kiln, he merely said, " it was hard that he could not have his own jokes."— (A laugh )—The lion. Member concluded. by moving that the petition be brought up. air. CANNING rose to object to the Petition bring re ceived. This, he observed, was a charge of a most serious nature against a Judge for corruption in his office, end fo laded as it was upon such bad authority, the House sit told act advisedly before they gave it their sauction.- Ff.Vll the very tone of the Petition, and the admissioal marla by the honourable Member himself, he was quite con vinzed met tile ~oils of the Learned Judge must be misre presented. It was in due courtesy at tenet to that Learned Person to have consulted him before sb serious a charge) was hrought forward. He would therefore recommend to the Hon. and Learned Member to Withdraw the petition, until an opportunity should be offered of consulting with the Learned Judge, and In the event of receiving no satis faction In that practice, it would be then time to come to this House. If that course was not adopted, he should be dis posed to oppose the petition, on the presumption that all the facts set forth in It were false. Mr. BROUGHAM admitted the justice of what had been said by the Right Houoerable Gentleman. and said he had acted upon the same feeling of delicacy to the Learned Judge, so far as to reject the evidence of a letter which came from a respectable quarter, bearing testimony to the allege- Coos in the petition. The petition having been put into his heeds, however, he had no course left but to present It; hut the Right Houourable - Gentlemaa's objectiou would be fully seaweed by mot having the petition printed. Ile was aware that charges so serious should not tie made usadvisedly, end therefore he would sot tell upon the ilouseto give that sanc tion to CHM. with* thew ordering it to be printed would imply. He had elated holmthe beginning that the libitumt reMed eetirely a the authority of one who was very mo tor . gent, bat be hoped in the mean thee that the Learned Judge .~ . • • •i THE *AtitsitAP would take an opportunity of giving satisfactory expt tins. He never meaht to rest for the priming of this Wien, is he was aware that tbp lateens of the Sessi rendered it improper to bring forward any "limier *Miro Mr. GOULBURN said it- appeared As Whole Court O. King's Bench concurred in refusing the motion for a new trial, which formed at least a presumption that Baron ill'eleiland was not quite so guilty as the petitioner repro mated him. , Mr. PEEL asked why the petitioner bald suffered tbitk subject tostand over five years? ~ Mt. BROUIRIAM -could not say. He brought the better forward, in order to give Bat uti M•Clilland au 0 1 )- I I portnnity of replying to it ; for if only one-half of what was stated was true, there was sufficient for a new trial. 'flee petition was then laid upon the table. ' TRADE TO INDIA. Mr. WYNN moved the third reading of the Ent fella Trade Bill. Mr. HUME protested against the Bill. The Hon. Member addressed himself particularly to theinjnstice which it worked Mrainst the Lascars, depriving them of certain rights whirls they possessed before. Mr. FORBES concurred in these sentiments, and pre dieted that the time wall not far distaut.when the House would be forced in justice to restore rights which they now took away.. Mr. MONEY observed that, by the Act of CharleslC., the Latears *ere admitted to many valuable' sigh* -iis British subjeets•, which, without consulting them, this Bill'orai calculated to like' array. The Bill star read a third time. ... ! Op the question 9c that 1; do , psis: Mr. MIME complained that the Right Hon. President of the Board. of Controul, had not stated whether this 'measure was intended to be a' tettiphrary or a permanent one. This w-as the first time he bail seen attempts made to 'aye away from all the statue° of ladies° many vaini-0 Isle rights, wittiest eveo consulting them. The promoters of thiwme!ssure,.he thought.tall exposed themseltes t* S 'Very SWIM degree of responsibility. He entered bli pretest orefost the Bill. liti. WYNN declined debating the merits of this Bill, which bad been, to fully discussed in - a former stage. it, was admitted before that the concessions to the Lowers, of which the lion. Member spoke, would not be betteficiid to the individuals themselves. Having iirenglAthe Bill forward with the approbation of the Court of Threctors, be could not consent to give up any purtuf it. After a few Words from Mr. BRIGHT , the Bid ./woolli PRIPON DISCIPLINE. • 'di Mr. COURTENAY moved the Order of the Da,. !fete taking into consideration the Lords' Amendments to the, Prime Bill. • Mr. BENNET observed that these amendments 'ft,* very copious. They had in fact altered the whole nature of the Bill. One clause particularly—namely, . that if permitting dogging he prisons, which had been ottani. moosly rejected by Ibis House, had formed a prominent part amongst the amendments of their Lordships. It was not necessary to discuss the inhumanity and ieetfi cagy of such -a practice, for it was admitted by this Mow According to the present system, it was necessary to kW a Dr. Tbwarkern in every prison. He never wooldkcease as long as he lived, in his efforts to rescue the people of this country from so creeland barbarous a pmuslament. The House would hanlly.believe the number of anion's nate persons, who had suffered this punishment withio a short period. Within seven wars there were - no less than 6,959 persons dogged in IRngland ; most of which bad taken piscwin private. The other day two eaten ii- Matt children. completely desolate, without father,. mo ther, or relation, atter their heehaw'', torn and lacera ted in a prison, were again about to be let loose to rub ;gain. till the kindness of the prison keeper induced him to send them to the ReArge fur the Destitute. He bad a picture drawn representing the lacerated state of the backs of some of these unfortunate beings, and he would certainly have them exposed in the streets ' though be might subject himself to prosecution, till be had rescued the pe,le from this shameful and degrading punish ! @sent , flint floggiogs wary indicted in holes and corners, where none were witness save those who assisted in in dieting the torture. Now it might be some alleviatioe, and be could see no objection to it, if two Magistrates .were obliged to ise present at every such puoiihment.— New South Wales flogging had failed, sod was abandon ed. After its abolition there, upon what pretence, he would ask, could it be coutinued , here? Objecting strongly to this mode of punishment, be would move as an amendment, that the words " by personal correction ; —those convicted of felony or sentenced to hard labour," be left out. Mr. W. tX)CRTENAY opposed the amendment. The House divided. *The °umbers were— For the amendment, 22; Against it, 36; Majority, 14. On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. W. COURT EN.I Y on his legs, moving several verbal amend ments, which were agreed to. Mr. U. BENNET said, that he hoped in the course of next Session, same better provision would be made for those confined in the Penitentiary. After a few words from dlr. W. COURTgNAt and Dr. Um NOTON, the !Ards' Amendments were agreed to. NEW SOUTH WALES. On the Order of the Day bring snored for the further consideration of the Report of the New South Wales Ju. risdiction Bill, Mr. WILMOT HORTON said, that in rising to call the attention of the House to this Bill, it was necessary to stale that it originated entirely from the Report of the Commis sioners who had been appointed to inquire into the state of that colony. This Bill related to New South Wales, espe cially as a colony, while all the previous measures related to it only as a receptacle for convicts. One of its objects was to institute unequivocal punishment against all offenders, but unattended with any a aaaaa onable sorority, for the pur poses of reformation. There were three places recommend ed by the Commissioners as proper places by way of expe riment, for convict settlements ; one of which was Norfolk Island, which, on account of its fertility, and the means of employment it offered, appeared the best calculated for that object. This island was intended as the receptacle of con victs Of the worst class, and indeed might be better described as a penitentiary upon an extended scale, where the convicts would he properly classed. and from which it was impos sible to escape. It was also proposed, as a means of re formation, to diminish corporal punishment and spread the convicts over seri:untold districts, rather than keep them In. towns es hitherto. The less they were in contact with each other, the greater was the chance of improvement in their habits. The greet object of the Bill was to reconcile New South Wales as an improving and growing colony, with Its being the receptacle of offenders, au object which it was in every way calculated to effect. As a step towards this end, It was necessary to devise some means of employment for the higher classes of convicts, and after every consideratiou ;It was determined that they should be employed as school masters. The principle of trial by Jury, however desirable in itself, was not salted to the peculiar circumstances of the colony. In civil cases, where trial by Jury was desired by both parties, it would not be denied; but it was not conso nant with the system of jurisprudence which the interests of 'the colony required, that it should' be granted on the demand of one of the parties only. Ile was wilting to admit that the colony of New South Wales was entitled to the full be. nefits of the British Constitution. except as it was precluded from enjoying them by its being a receptacle for convicts.' It appeared to him that the measure now proposed was im periously called for by the necessities of the case. The po pulation of New South Wales was every day increasing, and be thought that the restrictions proposed by Hon. Gen tlemen on the other side were decidedly at variance with the true interests of that colony. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Bill be recommitted. Mr. BRIGHT opposed the motion. He considered the Bill as most objectionable in principle. He thou g ht it displayed a studious desire to avoid any analogy with the English Constitution. He contended that New South Wiles was perfectly fit to receive the 'benefit of Trial by Jury. Mr. Justice Bent, who had resided there, was of I . Irrir fc c~ ~` • Y this opinion. The colony was very fir from being a colony of convicts only; for it was compelled in a great measure of settlers of great property and respectability. Ths BM gave allaorts of Courts, a Court of Chancery , an Ecclesiastical Court, a Court of Quarter Sessions, and 'petit did not give trial by Jury. He disapproved of the provisicum for regulating the lesolvnt Court; they Went to declitre a man insolvent who was not able at the lament to pay a debt for which he should be sued. Bill, in fact; attacked the whole of the English law. A 'Council was provided for; but it had do power to propose him; in some, rases it ladnot even the power to give effect to their disapproval of a proposed law. The Hon. Member concluded by movies that the Bill be committed that day six month,. nay This motion was not seconded, and therefore not put from the •Chair. • • Mr. G. RENNET said, that there were not stiffisient. Materials in New South Wales, foe the formation of a Jury of prelpos et legates /tontines. He believed there never Was, and never would again be such a Colony.— He was convinced from the reports lie had read, as well as frtim the conversation he bad with several individu als, that it was prematute to attempt the introduction of the trial by Jury into the Colony. Oat of the number of 4369 emancipated convicts h rthe Colony, there was but a small proportion living cm their own property. — The trial by Jury was estealtent is applied to the state of society in this country t lir the circumstances of the population of New South Wales, did not admit of its etzlication. The greatest 'corruption of morals pre y led through the whole ,Colony, particularly among the females: He gave his consent to the princip le of the Bill, and gave it his suppott. . . Sir JAMES MACINTOSH said he took the question to be whether. they were to communicate the benefits of the British Constitution to the Inhabitants of New South Wales, or whether they would continue that system of martial law, for so he would call it, and arbitrary power, that had hitherto existed. The present Bill conferred on the Colony not one of the institutions of England, ex-. ceps indeed the advantages of • an onesoinioal-and expe ditions COurt of Chancery.—(A laugh.) Much of the rftit seemed to be copied *from the famous Canada Bill, width produced such unfortunate results in, the other Adterican Colonies at that time, and which was the first', exception to the good old polity of our ancestors, who,' whenever they sent Englishmen, also sent with thetal the glorloowiastAtetion, of England. His chute against the Bill was, that Ii introduced nothing, but left despot ism and arbitrary*power in all their strength. Ile did not mean lousy mach of the Council. He would wish to see the germ and teed of the British Constitution planted in It, so that it may heredfttr be broken into two legislative chambers. The great point for which he contended wail the jostite,'llie polity, and ProprietY of establishing in the colooy the Trial hyJury. it was a mistake to sup pose that there was not fit materials in the colony foe that institatioo, the birthright of British subjects. He contended thatthere was aktie_propertion of freeholders ,to form a Jury. In support of that position he referred the Noose to 'the recorded opinions of the several Go ' vernors and Chief Justices of the colony. Among the former were Governors Bligh t Hunter, and filacquarrie; and among the latter werellr. Justice Bent. To those authorities he added the present Judge Advocate' Wyide. He complained of the inconveniency which would arise i from delaying- until next. Session, the confirmation of pardons granted by the Governors of New South Wales. Twotake the pardon of what were called " Einancipiets" good in law, it was necessary that they should be coo firmed by a pardon under the Great Seal. ' Now, no such general pardon bad been issued for sixty years, and con sequently sit persons who had bees pardoned by the Go. vernar and held. property were in a state of alarm. As they were situated at present they could not be witnesses in a Court of Justice. On these grounds be was of opl- Ries that these clauses sheuld be passed without delay. Mr. HORTON was for postponing the classes respect ing the pardons to next Session, when a general measure in transportation would be introduced. As that measure would have a retrospective effect, it would get rid of the objections as to the inconvenieoce stated by the Hob. and Learned Member. Mr. Secretary PEEL said he should not object to post pone the consideration of the first and third clauses of the Bill to wet Session. With respect to the clause which gave the Crown a power over pardons granted by the Governor of New South Wales, his opinion was that it ought to be carried into effect. Expectation had been raised on that subject, and that expectation should not be disappointed. Mr. DENMAN contended that Parliament had pledged itself to confirm all pardons of the Governor, and that if they failed to do so, it was a fraud upon the parties con cermet!. Mr. BRIGIIT withdrew his amendment. The House then went into a Committee on the Dill.— On the clause making a Jury of seven officers of the Army and Navy Judges in all cases, Sir JAMES MACINTOSH proposed an amendment, substituting a Jury of twelve of the inhabitants duly qualified. Mr. GOULBURN contended, that in the situation of the colony, a Court of Military officers was more calor lated to render justice than a Jury of twelve settlers could do. Mr. H. GURNEY supported the amendment. Mr. WILBERFORCE said a few words io favoir of the amendment. Mr. BRIGHT supported the amendment. After a few words from Mr. D. GILBERT and Mr MONEY, the House divided upon the amendment. For the amendment, 30—Against it, 41 —Majority, 11. Ina discussion on one of the clauses, Mr. CANNING said that it might core all the objections against the Bill, if it were limited to a period of five years. They would then have time to see its operation, and at the rno of that period, it might be reconsidered, and whateve• modifications were found necessary, made. To this altera tion he would consent. The House resumed. The Chairman reported progress, a nd asked leave to sit again to-day. LAW OF MERCHANTS BiLL. The order of tbeday being moved fur the third reading Of the Law of Merchants Bill, Mr. CREEVEY ohjected to it. in consequence of the lateness of the hour. and said that he supposed the ap• propriation clause must have been disposed of at a similar hour. He could not characterise the mode in which it was disposed of in other terms than a fraud. Instead o having public attention drawn to it, by introducing it in the usual way, as the Appropriation Act, it was tacked as a Resolution to the Bill for raising 14,700,0001. by Ex chequer Bills. As he did not wish to see the public bn siness tmusicteil in this way,he would move, as an amend ment, that the House do now adjourn. The CHANCELLOR of the MOM EQUER and Mr. HL'SKISSON contended the course adopted in passing this clause aas quite consistent with the usual practice of the House. . Mr. HUME, on the other hand, maintained that it was a violation of the practice of the House, and nothing lees than a fraud, in order to prevent those who were anxious to dose from making any observation on the Appropria tion Bill. He therefore gave notice that to-tn.rrow he would move for a Committee, to see if such were the usual practice of the House. Mr. J. SMITH opposed the adjournment. H e sa id that if the present Bil l e not passed now, it would lead to the commission of many frauds; for otherwise it wauld not be in time for the other House, and would therefore be postponed till next Session. Mr. IFIUME recommended his Lion. Friend to wi h. draw hie amendment. t i f / After a few whale from AlefA. TA TgOlt,,sthe ed. ginal question was put and arried, fdr;Creevey not pressit4 the amendment. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. llir. CREEVEY said that he would not consent to soy farther business being gone into till the House had determined upon the motion of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume.) 1 CHIEF BARON O'GRADY. The receiving the Report of the Committee on the conduct of Chief Barba O'Grady was postponed to tlyar day. o•her Orders of the Day were then disposed ore and the House adjourned at Quarter past Two o'clock: • " '. ~- -...

New Spanish 1111—New Prussia Ml—Rusk EMl—Da nish 971, Es. dividend—Nespolitan 73—Columbia 3(31f We have received this morning Bayonne papers to the let instant. The chief article they contain is an extract of a letter from Madrid, dated the 25th ult. The ohjeet of this communication is to represent the cause of the Royalists as every where t.iumphant; though it admits that " the gold which the army spread in abundance," was a principal means in conciliating the people. It admits also that the situation of the French in Andalusia must necessarily become critical, if Lopez, Banos, Villa. camps, and Ballasteros, were seconded by Guerillas; but it pretends that " their force does net inspire any fear, and that by the aid of some small detachments of cavalry the communications between Madrid and Seville, whir's had been intercepted for some days, have been restored. Catalonia," it acknowledges,' " by the meu•who combat, and its fortresses, is the only province where the Consti tutional troops have made a real resistance to the Allied forces, and consequently Arragon will not so soon be re lieved from the state of agitation in which it is ; for Catalonian Guerillas make frequent incursions in it, and keep the inhabitants in check."

Orders have been given by the Major-General Count Guilleininot, to all the French Commandants on the line from Madrid to Bayonne, to form immediately at Burgos' 'nil to send to Madrid by forced marches, a division of 090 men, to replace the troops that are gone to La Mancha. The Prince bas applied to France for a speedy rein forcement of 301.10 horses, and recommended exactness in remitting funds. The Juurnal de PaPie, which arrived since our last, contains the folios lag extract of a private letter frout Madrid : " The friends of order nre not free from uneasiness. The Constitutionalists accuse the Regency of fomenting a ft-ac tion which might bring the greatest calamities on the coun try. The Ultras, on the contrary, accuse them of inactioa they say, that the Regency ought to strike hard, especially on the liberal merchants, who,hy their fortunes,.bass contri buted to maintain the constitutional system." The same Journal states positively, that the Duke d'Avgonl-nie will rot go to Cadiz, and that he is expect d to return to Paris on the 25th of August, or on the Ist of September, at the latest. According to the other papers, 3iina, before lie entered Barcelona, left at the Sea d'Crgel only those troops which were necessary to defend that place. It is also eated that ltlasbtl•Dlon• cry was to commence the siege of Barcelous on the 6th of July. Every Bulletin of the French army seems to be at variance with some o her.
