IMPERIAL PIRLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAT. Mr. Brogden brought up from the House of Commons, the Silk Manufacturers Bill, and the Irish Offices Compensation Bill. MARRIAGE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented to the House the amendment which he had given notice of his intention to propose respecting the property acquired in consequence of improper marriages. It went to provide, that in case either of the parties entering into a fraudulent marriage was under the age of 21 years, it would be competent for the Attorney or Solicitor-General to file an information in the Court of Chancery against such party, and in such ease the Court should have the power of restraining the party from possessing - the property that might otherwise be ob tained In consequence of such marriage, and apply the same to the issue of the marriage, or in any other way most ad vantageous to the original owner of the property. His Lordship proposed that the clause be printed, and taken iota consideration on Monday next. He thought it would be proper to enact, that the Information should be filed within three yetis after the marriage. After a few ob lions from the Earl of WESTMORE LAND, the clause was received. I The Marquess of LANSDOWN gave notice, that early hi the nest Session of Parliament, he should lay before the House a Bill for authorizing the marriages of Dissenters In their own chapels. It would be similar to, but drawn oat in a more perfect form than that which he had offered to the House last eight, and which was negatived only by a small majority. PRISON DISCIPLINE. The Prison Laws' Coosolidation Bill was eowiratted, when some amendments were proposed by Lord SID 11101JTH. His Lordship observed that a clause had been introduced into the 8111, in the other Horse, to enable gaolers to inflict corporal punishment oa prisoners; that clause bad been expunged ; and he now wished It to be restored. He never met with a Magistrate who was not clearly of opinion that the infliction of corporal punish men on refractory prisoners was absolutely necessary. There were hardened offenders who could not be kept in subjection except by corporal punishments. Many per sons sentenced to hard labour had peremptorily refused to submit to that labour; and it was necessary to inflict pu nishment on them when they conducted themselves in such a manner. None, however,but persons sentenced to hard- labour, and convicted felons, should be subject to corporal punishments. He then proposed,a clause to that effect. Lord DACRE said he should object to the clause, so far as related to convicted felons. He asked if it was fit that a man should, at the will of a single Magistrate, be subjected to punishment without a trial by Jury, and contrary to the law of the land, and after a previous sentence had been passed on him ? Lord SIDMOUTIT replied, that by the Acts already ex isting, persons confined for misdemeanour were liable to corporal punishment ; but what he proposed was, to render convicted persons liable to the punishments. As to con victed felons, there were no persons more refractory than they were ; and it was necessary to exercise a severe con trout over them. Ile proposed that no corporal punish ments should be inflicted for minor offences. The Marquess of LANSDOWN said that personal cor rection was the last species of punishment which should bel resorted to. What was now proposed would certainly be an addition to tte punishment of convicted felons. The , ground on which the clause could be supported was the necessity of obliging prisoners to undergo the discipline of the prisoners ; but he did not think that this principle' should apply to convicted felons; and that it should only apply to persons sentenced to hard labour. The power of punishment might be proper with regard to boys, but should not apply to grown persons. Earl SPENCER supported the amended clause. The Earl of ROSSI.YN did not think that personal cor rection should be applied to any persons except those sen tenced to hard labour, and that only in cases of their re fusing to labour. The Earl of HARRGIVBY supported the clause, which was agreed to without a division. The Bill was then ordered to be reported onTvesday next. A person from the Court of Great Sessions, in Wales, presented certain papers. The Irish Joint Tenantry Bill was read a third time and passed. At Seven o'clock the House adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMHONS.-FRIDAT. Mr. NOLAN postponed the Committee on the Poor Laws to Friday next. Mr. CHICHESTER presented a petition from the cotton spinners of Belfast against the Coal Duties. The Report of the Ciss Light Bill was referred to a Select Committee upon th• motion of Mr. DAWSON. Mr. M. A. TAY LOR presented a petition from the wool len weavers of the West Riding of :Yorkshire, against a Bill before the House respecting the importation of foreign yarn. —Laid on the table. Gen. HART presented a petition from the kelp manufac turers of the county of Donegal. praying a prohibition on the Importation of foreign kelp.—Laid on the table. Mr. MANNING brought in a Bid fer allowing further time for completing the London Docks.—Read a first time, and second reading ordered. Mr. T. WILSON presented a petition from the soap makers of London relating to the Barilla Duties.—Laid on the table. Mr. JOHN SMITH brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the law of merchants.—Ordered to be taken into covideratlon on Wednesday next. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER. it was ordered that the House, at its rising, do ad journ to ilond•y. BARILLA DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR et the EXCHEQUER moved the ( Order of the Day for the House.going into a Committee on idle Bariila Duties. Mr. BEREA!, objected to any, alteration in the duties on * this drficle, to consequence of the injury which it would work towards the soap manufacturers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would postpone his answer to the objections of the Hon. -Mabee midi the Home went into a Committee. The House then went into a Committee on the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did -eV contend that the duties should be raised upon bartlla merely to encourage the manufacture of kelp. The kelp manufacturers bad been already oppressed by a reduction Of the tax on salt. He had reason to know. that unless Mame relief was given to the kelp manufacturers of Soot- lead, they would he reduced to the geeatest distress. Their *nation was unlike that of ordinery labourers, who could ',move from one place to another to seek for employmeeti It was not upon principle that he proposed this, bet in t►e Nene compassion to those people who, injured by the re. deetion of the duty on salt, which was so great a benefit td the public at large. He concluded by moving that the duty ibould be raised from five guineas to eight. to be in opera tion for five years, beginning at January 1824. . Mr. DENISON adverted to the injustice which would be done to merchants who had made consignments under the old duties. He wished that Mae should be eyes those merchants. Mr. CAMPBELL °blinded to the uncertainty of the law as to the duties upon Bertha. and complained that ming persons would be injured, unless an importation duty was passed. Mr. CALCRAFT said the House, when it took off the duty upon salt, had a clause in the Act which imposed a higher duty upon Barilla. Ile was doubtful whether it would be to the advantage of the kelp growers, but unless the measure was passed, it might seem to betray an Indifferesesi to their wants. Mr. K. DOUGLAS objected to the imposition of the de.-1 ties altogether, especially the hurry in which the measure was likely to pass through the House. Lord A. HAMILTON thought the measure should not be postponed, and.supported the motion. Mr. RICARDO said, from some papers which he had seen upon the subject of kelp, it was represented, in thel event of a war, there was a probability of being no alkali in the country. Another argument used was. that duties upon alkali made from kelp. used in manufacturing soap, is Liverpool alone, amounted to nearly half a million of tect-1 ney. It had been urged that the duty should only be 10-1 posed for five years, in order to give the subject a trial. la his opinion it was better to have it made perpetual at oncos t ' for at the expiration of five years there would be the same objections urged as now. Mr. T. WILSON opposed the tax. Mr. J. P. GRANT thought the kelp munufactarers served protection, end therefore he should support the mea sure proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord BINNING said, counting the inlets of the sea roved the Islands where kelp was cultivated, there was not an ex• tent less than 700 miles of coast, inhabited by persons welt deeply interested in the measure. There were many thou sands of his countrymen whose existence depended upon the cultivation of kelp, and unless their trade was protected. they would suffer great privations. An encouragement bad been given to them during the war, and their attentions bad particularly been drawn to cultivate that commetEity, aed they now deserved encouragement. Ile was aware that ge neral reasoning and general arguments were against him as a subject of political economy, but the House would not suffer themselves to be acted upon by a dry question of political economy, when the property of so many High land Gentlemen was at stake, and the comfort and well being of so many industrious and useful people were likely to be sacrificed. Mr. MARRYATT _said he had upthieg personally to do with either kelp, hernia, or soap, but he thought that those merchants who had sent out ships to the Mediterranean for barilia. ought to have their property protected. They sent out vessels on the strength of an Act of Parliament passed last year, and nothing could be more clear that if an addi tional duty on barilla were imposed, it would injure their property and be taking them by surprise. If the House one year passed an Act and repealed it the next, it placed pro perty in a very hazardous situation. It was unfair not to give due notice that an alteration in the Act wa■ contem plated, in order to place the merchant in a situation where he might know how to act. Mr. HUME agreed with the last Hon. Member respecting the necessity of not repealing Acts as soon as they were made, end recommended the Right Honourable the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to take the matter in a Committee up stairs, in order to ascertain the true nature of all the facts connected with the subject. Lord FRANCIS GOWER and Oen. HART spoke in fa vour of the tax. Mr. H. G. BENNET said, if no on, took the sense of ' the liouseupon the motion, he would. Ile considered the property of the kelp growers to have been considerably im proved, and thought they ought uot to be protected at the expense of many other equally deserving individuals. Mr. M`DONNELL spoke a few words in favour of the motion. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, when the numbers were—For the motion, 100—Against it, 20—Ma jority, M. Mr. DENMAN said that he held in his hand a petition from the Hon. Basil Cochrane, complaining of the conduct of the Victualling Board and other offices, bat as it would occupy some time if he were to go into its details now, he would not trespass on the House farther than to give notice that he would present it on Tuesday next. On the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moving the Order of the Dry for bringing up the Report on the Beer Duty Bill, some discussion took place relative to the proceeditess of the House ; after which Mr. C. HUTCH INSON took occasion to complain of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland, for having brought on the Commercial Credit (Ireland) Bill at half-past two o'clock, when scarcely sn Irish Member was present, end after he had apprized the Right lion. Gentleman of his intention to oppose it. This Bill limited the relief to the poor of Ireland to 100,00.1. instead of 250,0001. which should have been placed at the disposal of the Irish Govern ment for the relief of the indigent in that country. Con eelving this to be a measure of great importance to Ireland, he gave notice, that on some future day, he would move for the extension of this vim to 230,0001. Sir J. NEWPOR'F said it was a matter of regret that so grave and seriour a charge should be for two years left hanging over the Learned Judge. This could not have happened if the Session had commenced at an earlier period. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said a few words, in tee course of which he expressed himself in favour of delay, on the grounds stated by his Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr. Scariett) and the Right Honourable Cleutlemau (Mr. Secre tary Canning.) Mr. HUNIE described the circumstances in which the case came to the present stage, and gave it as his opinion that it wasu terly impossible for the Honourable Member for Limerick, unless he was compelled by the House, to stop its progress. lle was sorry that any Judge should have fallen under such suspicions, but still sorrier that a Judge, with such serious charges against him, should con tinue to preside on the bench of justice. The House should either acquit him at Once, or proceed to the examination of the charges against him. It was not with the Honourable Member for Limerick, but with the House, it rested, to pro -died in the investigation. Mr. SCARLET r repeated part of his termer observa tions, and added, that in oar own Conrts of Westrois- I ster Hall, fees were allowed to be taken, for which he could not find any law or authority, but that the Judged had permitted the practice. Lly An of Parliament only 4d. was allowed the officer for executing a writ of capies; and yet a guinea was always allowed. He did not mean to give any opinion then on this question, but he mild not avoid again repeating, the difficulties which Hun. Members would bave, in order to come to a clear and conscientious vote on it. Captain O'GRADY said that he bad abstained from expressing anisipinion himself, nor did he address the Howie with a view to induce them to'vote one way or the other. He admitted that in a communication wit!. his Hononrable and Learned Friend, he said he would he the last individual to stand in the way of the motion. He felt himself entirely in the bands of the House, sett it was for them,to do as they pleased. Mr. IVETHEE.ELL observes' that the evidence taken before the Commissioners was not sufficient to found on it the proceedings which a charge of thatsor; reqnired. It would he departing from the principles of Parliament to ground on such evidence criminatory resolutiont„ which should be folio.: ed up perhaps by the removal of the individual charged. That was one of the reasons by which he was induced to hope that the further proceed ing would be postponed. Mr. PEEL said as the result of the present conver sations would probably be the p-etponing of the goes. don, he thought it would be prudent to avoid any dis cussion on it. All th.tt lie would wish to say at present was, that as the inquiry was to he postponed, the indi vidual, being ready to meet it. was entitled to that pre sumption, which the laws of England gave to every sub ject till convicted—the presumption of irnacence. After a few words from Mr. FORBES, Colonel BARRY said, that a question affecting the' administration of justice. like the present, ought to he investigated speedily and carefully. If it te e post poned now, a pledge ought to be given that it would he brought under the consideratida of the House early is the next Session, as nothing could be so detrimental to public justice as to have such charges made; and n)t • refuted or confirmed. Mr. S. RICE said, tl r in deference to what seem •d the una: im we opinion of the House, he abandoned the motion. He would not pledge himself to undertake Cie bringing of it forward next Session. He was then pre pared to de so, and he hoped the House would think that he had done his duty. Let those whose duty it was to preserve pure and unsullied the administration of jos tier, bring it forward if they pleased. Mr. HUME protested against the opinion that be for one would asseut to the postponing of the motion. Mr. Secretary CANNING wished to repeat, that, for his own part, he was ready to go on and come to a decision on the question that night, but he would not put himself in the situation in which he, a Minister of the Crown, ought tof ta he—of a public prosecutor. Mr. S. RICi said, as the Right Hun. Gentleman was ready. he would proceed with the motion. Mr. R. MARTIN said, the Hon. Member for Idme rick was acquitted in the opinion of all, and had done what he ought to do, either to proceed or postpone the business, as the House desired. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen ooly refused his assent to the latter, and it was not unusual with that Hon. Member to differ from the House. Taking into consideration the suggestions of the Hoo. and Learned Member (Mr. Scarlett), be hoped the question would be postponed. Notwithstanding the dissent of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, the Honour able Gentleman (Mr. Rice) might fairly take it for granted, that be had the sense of the House with hilt, in favour of postponing his motion. Mr. CALCRAFT said be could not agree with the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) that this was a question which the Government ought not to take on themselves. For his own part he was not prepared to come to a decision on it, and he did not mean to give any vote at all on it. LUSHINGTON said, that the conduct of the Chief Baron stood already arraigned by the Report of the Commissioners, and by the concurring opinions of two Committees of that House. It was impo a ble that no suspicion of malversation should attach to him. He did not, therefore, agree with the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Peel) that he could be presumed innocent, or that he could spend the interval till next Session with out uneasiness. He could not consent to postpone the motion. What reason had he to hope that Hon. !Gem hers would make themselves better acquainted with the subject before next :Union ? He contended, in op position to the opinion of his Hon. Friends, from whom he seldom differed, that it was not the duty of Govern ment to take up that question. For so much confidence would attach to them, that the question could not be fairly examined. He was of opinion that they ought to proceed thin. Mr. Secretary PEEL, in explanation said, that the Chief Baron having &dared himself ready to meet the charges, he ought, if the question was postponed, be deemed innocent m such a way as to be competent to go on circuit in the mean time.. Mr. DENMAN thought it due to.tbe Hon M oober for Aberdeen, who was not then in his place, to say, that he was not the only person who was of opinion, that the question ought not to be postponed. The ad ministration ofjustice would not be free from suspicion, while a person, under such charges, were allowed to preside on the Bench. It was easy to sae that one is in nocent till declared guilty, but could Parliament coin mind the people to be of that opinion, and to throw away their own impressions. It was impossible. to say that the Chief Baron, while labouring under those charges, could try persons in the circuit with the sane confidence in his justice as if oo charge existed against him. He contended that Government ought to take up the question. It was their duty to water' over the ad ministration of justice. Ministers insulted the House when they presumed to tell them that the House, or any iadivjdual Alember, would vote with them, w!th de ciding for himself. He defended the House from tact, 4 eharoe, and he did not believe that any 31ini.00r, as sit , individua', could rise up clothed with more authority than any oilier Member. It was the duty of Govern ment to protect from the charge of corruption the seat of justice. If they abstained from taking any active put in the question, why not also abstain from voting on it ?—(Hear, bear.) He would suggest to'his Hon. Friend (Mr. Rice) not to postpone the rnatioa, but to proceed with it—not that night, hut in a few days, giving time to all lion. Members to make themselves ars optainted with the charges, and to come prepared with their minds made up on them. Mr CANNING contended that the Ministers were not called on to institute a prosecution against a Judge. He was determined that he would not be entrapped in doing so, and he would follow the example of Sir. Fox. who, though the Ma sager of the prosecution against Lord Melville, refused to interfere with it the moment be came into office. He would also follow the exempla of Lord Grenville in the case of Warren Hastings. Mr. DENMAN and Mr. CANNING mutually el plaineJ. Mr. WILBERFORCE spoke in favour of the post ponement. Mr. S. RICE regretted the discussion, as it should have been confined to the mere question of going on or not. He suggested, as the best course, to put the tines. Lion of going on or not, at present, and if any one person objected to that coarse, the option of postpone ment might be submitted to the ,House. He wished it, in any.rase, to be undtrstood that.he walt ready, and w.l'ing to go 00.
