It *p ressed by the statement of the Noble Lord, that the peti tioner Lad brought an action of false imprisonment against Sir Nrdhaniel Conant. fur having committee! him on a cherge oflibel. Tree ection was tried in the Common Pleas. and a speeial verdict rettitned ; upon which special verdict:the Judges Lad resolved the committal to have been correct. mad **Court proaousiecel a decision. which bound the petitioner Mr the cords of the action; for non payment of which he was cemetted. This decision. according to his (Lord Grey's) °piston. was unwarranted by any law, and he had submitted rout:ou :Fled% eto the subject. at the time when a circular ietr..r was, he conceived, most illegally sent to the Magis trates by the Secrrtary of State for the Home Department. retotuteendisg to them to act in execution of this assumed petftitta ought to r essaLdera as a OA subject. After a few indistilet words from Lord Falk's', the pen- Cor. was ordered to lay on the table. PETJTUIN 1.11011 HER MAJESTY. Lord Dscsia rose and said. that he claimed the indol ence of the House in rising without previous notice to pre sent a petition from the Queen. which had been but a short time before put into hi- hands, and which he held it to be his duty to present. more especially as her Majesty had not been able to procure it to be laid on their Lordships' table 'ay the bands of their Speaker. which be conceived would have Seen Cs most proper way of cony es ing it to their Lordships. As. however. it had been put intoids hands. he intended to pro pose SOCA a "lessen- as it could authorise and require. and he thought their Lordships would concur in it. when they heed tne petition read from her ki‘jesty the Queen. The petitict complained of the mode adopted by their Lordships of enteric; Iti 4 o the investigation of her conduct by means nf a hecret towline,. It also stated, that she bad not been Hewed time to procure witnesses (row the Continent to re l.& the charges easiest her, and naturally complained of the n: premiere that. might be stacje elsewhere by a partial de eistoo. before she could be enabled to rebut the evidence against her. mid forswore the pepsins. emasequent upon sal e--parse report.. The Noble Lord then proceeded to say. that he felt it his bounder; duty to make this statement be fore he presented the petition, unacquainted as he tees with. l te real circumstances of the ease, further than they ap peared in tltn public acts relative to them, as be.nerer had before a part le nay transaction with her Majesty, and newer Lail tie honirar of a similar consemeiwation.

Lor.ll)xece then rose and snid, that the petition had been put into his hands an short a period before bepresented it to their I.orciships, that he had only time to read Relief. with a flew to ascertain that there was nothing in its lan guage or expressions contrary to the rules of the Hons.. 11 ith regard to its contents, be %tumid abstain from making any obsereetions, and content hiintelf w ith moving. that the Con's. , be now called to their Lordships' bar. according to the prayer of the petition.

Mr.Baononios Ise.tun by stating, that he had the honour to appear before their Lordships as Counsel for her Majesty the Queen.

The Loan CIIANCTLLOR said. it was his sincere wish to avoid saying many words upon the subject. But a hat had been stated by the Noble Lord who haft just croken. had been frequently maintained by other Noble Lords on the same side of the House. If their flew was the proper one, the majority of that House had hut to inform him (the Lord Chancellor) of it, and it they imposed duties much araater, be was satisfied.

' Lord llott.ann bore testimony to the ronscientions wanner in which the Noble and Learned Lord tlis *barged his duties. But he could not help saying. that be concurred with Isis Noble Friend (Lord fiery) as to his view of what those ditties were. It was his opinion, that the ditties which the Nolole Lord performed. when rising from the woolsack. were to be regulated as those of every other Member of that Honer. tine thing was of great importance, that their Lordships should appre hend that no petition, coming through Isis hands.

Iles he was convinced, that he acted on this as in every other instance. from pure, delicate, and honourable motives. He had forgotten, however, that all Peers of Parliament were equal. No Member of that (louse could address it with greater authority than another—if his rink con ferred on him the power of doing so. It would he oh structice of the firedom of debate. Nothing canto, be inferred from a petition haring been presented by any lone Peer, mere than would follow from its being pre sented by another. The Noble and Learned Lord hod spoken of the dilleolties which the subject bruit with it. He (Lord Holland) believed that h e was - reet in stating. that he had searched the Journal, In yams for a precedent of a petition from a Queen of llaj- e land to that Hesse. Hot when there was n o other iii of impeaching the Mime but through a petition seated by bv a ?fable Lord, it might have been es well if that pethiois had been remotest by the Noble Lord alto tad ins beet applied to.

Ile could not pay that compliment to the situation which the Nor and Learned Lord held in that House, as to suppose that he could present a petb lion on any other grounds, than as a Member of that House performing a duty in Misplace. as it might be performed by any other. The situation was not in that respect of the smallest importance. The Earl of Livsstroot; said, that he agreed In the propriety of receiving the petitio n, u p on the clear path ' lie principle, that every subject, from the low est to high est, all had access by petition to that House. lint he could sot agree is what had fa llen from the Haw Lords opposite in the eourae of their observ ations * p aw the opinion. pronounced by the Noble and Learned.
