+. ~ ; F (DEBATS—Costiourdi runt 2d pap.) COLOPILL 801111. On oar return to the Gallery, we found Mr., GREY 13E NNET on his legs, ceiling the attention of the House to the We of Col. Home, of the 311 Foot Gaudy. He said that he had taken great pains to collect accurate informs on the subject, end then brought a question before the Nuse, which affected the character of an injured and ho nouraoble o ffi cer, , as well as that of the British ermy in general. The Alcor in question entered the service In ISIS, fought in the Peninsula, and received particular notice for his gallantry at the battle of Waterloo. lie there took the post of Hogyemont, which was called the key of the posri tion. Oh his return to this country , he bec ame a partne ki a trading mining. concern—he became what was called a sleeping partner, and was prevailed on to do so on the Misrepresentations, as they were afterwards admitted to be, of the other partners. In the summer of 1514, he went to France, and on his retorts beard various rumours as to tke ruinous state of the concern. lie sent his brother into Worcestershire to inquire into the actual state of the bosh sees, the result of which was, that Colonel Home offered env terms to the other partners to let Mm out. That they refused to do, end still kept up his liability. His next step eras, under the *deice of Counsel, and for his own protect lion, only to eccept bills drawn by his brother on him. which he accepted in the name of the firm. The object by so doing was to draw the whole business Into* settlement. A short time after, when Colonel Home was in Scotland, he vies informed that a gross and malicious placard was et -111131(.4 reflecting upon his character. He Immo* wrote to his agent to investiate it, and from the sts sebieli were taken, it was proved g to be totally unfounde ep d. The very agent to his opponents declared, by a letter of 1817, that his conduct was of the most honourable and gentlemanly nature. In n short time after this Colonel Home was sure 'prised to receive a letter front Colonel Hill of the Cards. elder, Oat it was considered necessary to appoint a Court of Implies' for the purpose of investigating certain wanes°. Mons in which Colonel Home was connected with the firm of Salisbury rod Company, with a view of ascertaining of 1- them whether there were sufficient grounds fur a Court Martial. Another letter shortly followed explaining the caries of complahut. First, that Colonel Home accepted • e.otain bills in the name of Salisbury and Co., pertkmarly oat: for e3Ol. when he was restricted by the terms of partner. ship front so doing. Secondly, for asserting and swearing by affidavit that he was ignorant of any such restrictive elflaSe in the articles of ugreement ; and, lastly, for include.' Quarter -Master Westenra to receive in his name en injunc tion front the Court of Chancery, which was directed against Col. Hume. After some further correspoudence, the Court met on the 25th January. ISIS, and the Stith came to certain resolutions, tchielt he (Mr. Bennet) considered as most gel, and and without founda tion in evidence-40 directly in the teeth of the °eidetic.; so inattentive were they to form, that they omitted to receive any evidence of Col. Home, being a partner in the firm of Salisbury led Co: Col. House in a short ti•tiveceived a letter from . the Secretary to the Duke of Giouceiter, steting that he wee commanded to inform him tie his Royal Ilightes+ the Duke of York had seen rho re port of the Court of Ingairy, and on that report had decided t.at Col. Home could not remain in the service motor such etsteeme Aleitout circling his character by a Court-Martial. ('ol. limit immediately cxpre:eed his anxiety 'or a Court Martial. The Honourable Member here went into a de tailed e ceount of the proceedings of the Court of In tiiry. and read at length the opinions of the Judge Ad. vocete. It appeared that the Judge Advocate consi dered that the de, lara•iou of a Court Martial would affect • the civil question in a Court of Law as to the liability on come of the Bills, and it aas therefore better, torier all tf,erircumstancee of the case, to embody another Court of ineeiry into ao honourable investigation of the in tendon and cotidnet of Colonel Home, than to. appoint, the mere formal tribunal of a Court Martial. The Hoe. I Member (Mr. Iknnet)strieraly animadverted on• such a principle being adopted; and put it to the Neryers in tbe H o me, if there w ere pany, any, ifjostice should be administe r rier Br opinions red not by facie. There was no term of me.' proach, however severe, which the proceedings• of the Court of luquiry dal not merit. It was most unjust and niquitous to submit use character and fairly earned emo Inaients of au officer of merit to the decision of a Court, the members of which were trot ma'orn, the witnesses bofore which were not scorn, and elm were even unable to chneel the attendance of nuwilling whet-twee. The Judge-Advocate gave his opinion that this officer email n t have jestice done him before such a tribitual • at the Petrie time that be declared be might before another viii ferently roue' ituted. flot the gteat complaint against Colonel Home was, that he drew these bills in direct violation, of the articles of partnership, of which he was entirely coe,noseent, and to which he was a party. --He (Mr. B.) denied that Cohntel Home ever wae a par to teis agreement. This lie, contended to be t h e feet, from the omission of hie name to the article of partnership, and from hie having never received them. Another charge was that of Isis withdraesing himself from the service of the injunction before the Coert of Chancery. But, in this latter part of his conduct, be . (Mr. It) contended that there was nothing unbecoming or unzeutlemanlv. Besides, the evidence to this fact was far from conctuelve. The state of thh case appeared to be this: Colonel Home was confined to his bed at . Windsor When the injunction came dosn to be served. Mr. Winning'on, the. Solicitor, to whom that service • was committed, came to the Colonel's quar'ers to inquire for him, and there met with a person in coloured clothes, to whose questions reepecting his business with the Co lonel, .however, he refuted to give any answer, to. ' This • •persotetn r ned out to be Qoarter•master Weatenra, who, as Mr. Witutington said in his evidence, had instructions front Col: Home to personate him,. so as to avoid the ser vice of the injunction. The glarter-maeter, however, and the Colonel's seri ant denied that he had any such instructions 'from Colonel Home. This was a strong contradiction n t 6 the evidettee of Mr. Wineingto, of whom he (Mr. B.) did not wish to say any thine It ash, • sod ee should.therefore content himself wait saying that • possibly be might have made a mistake in his evidence. leis evidence' of the Quarter-Maiter was of the greatest • Importance, as he was nut the Witness of Colofiel Home, bar k one produced against him. After this proceeding, • Chbefore. the forer Cout of inquiry, the Coinntande Chief directedm a nother, r which was the third, to be call ed. At this Colonel Home never appeared at all, by the advice of his lao yens ; and the reasons of his not appearing, these lawyers offered to bear witness to. Ihe conclusion to which this Court came was, as he (NIL it.) contended. not at all warranted •by the premises. lie now defied the Noble Lord to say • that there was a scintilla of evidence against Colonel Home to support the first part of the cusation, namel of y, that of his being privy to the article s of p ar tu e tship 1813. Yet, noiwithstending this lack of evidence against Colotel Home. the result of the deliberetiou of the Court ' that sending a letter to the Colonel, in which it was • intimated to him that he was removed from the Army. but atilt leave reserved to sell his commissions of Ensign end Lieut.-Colonel.- These produced him 1,300!.; but lie was Dot allowed to sell his company, which was given to hire as a reward for eighteen years service. But it was not with the single dis elvantage of the constitution of the Court, that Coloeel IthrueThad to cob oat en extd ; the pl a ce at which the iliptiry was p lp ruceedrel iu reme inconvenient, and Il l s own witnesses were in France. • The Court ea, celled for one purpose; hat used for atter they. Under all these eircumetances, there was no re source left Colonel Home, beet to make an :Tile tl through this House th the country. He (Mr. it) hoped the geodoess or joisii , :e of his ciese had u..t suffered in his •etntis ;- and he did rot entirely detpair of having viudi- THE STAI • ' - -- _ *e had nothing to do. He should oppose the prodactioo of these papers, as a demon I of au unprecedented nature.

HelLorti P.) did not feel himself called.wpos to follow the Min.

In the year 1813, 4 epprar-1 ed that ColooelMonte became a partner in a coaspmat 1 engaged in a mining specula tion. it was for his condos: C I ' in tins capacity that the charm which Ted to- the Croft 1 of Inquiry were preferred spinet him. Colonel Home. became a partner, lay hairiest lowtorlaup shares to Ilse amount of 3,1001., and **owe of the firm, of coarse , he came bound by all the stipulations Which were agreed to at its comtheocement.. Now whether be was or was not await, of the previous engagements subsisting between Hut powers mattered little, for it was the duty of Colo -1061 Horne on eotering into the firm to bare tuaae himself.' acquainted with theta. The partner, whom share he purchased, was mimed Perch. Colonel House had not had long experience of this connection, white be found the concern to be a tottering one, and .that the specula tion is which lie had engaged was not likely to he pro ductive of any great advantager; disputes accordingly .4 *ruse between him and the other twirlers, and the Colo nel signified his intention of ei•lidro ' hiinself alto. getber. He (Lord P.) did not wi sh. WO was right ;be was willing to admit ti ' were In error. Neither did he quarrel with hi w Winning himself from the firm, if he had'. ell taken os legitimate end manly course of doing so. he whole capital of the tient was 270900, of whi at was, said Wore, Colonel Home's share was wily 3,1811 k• Colonel Home, although the lest who bad a right toed's*. plain, took meant of ridding himself of vie partnership discreditable to him in tho extreme. By the articles of , agreement, all the partners were prevented from draw ing or endor‘ing bills of exchange egeept the manager.. But Colonel Home construing this engagement n ot to: extend to " accepting," had his brother to di aw Mitte l upon him, which he accepted. Now, although this tm struction, in a technical seism. might be correct; it was% certainly ungentlemanly and dislionunrable - to put suchl a construction upon it. In a discussion upon the greed tion afterwards in a Court of law, Lord Ellenborsaminl decided, that the drawing of bill by his brother whilst acting as his agent, made it in all respects his arm op en the principle law "qui. Tacit p er allure. /iiii; per. Sc. i It was clear that the value g . iveu fur the bills eel quite I fictitious, fur as they came into the hinds of umbrella- makers, comb-makers, and cloth-makers, the object'' clearly was to bring them all into the market, and IN fix the concerti smith their amount. The bills were drawn in the name of David /loam, but as this was de- clare! to be the same as if the olel imself k a d I diewn t them, Ise hail so fat violated t C he on agre h ement into which as partner he catered. Ile (Lord P.) was at a loss tome upon what grounds this transaction could be j vindicated. lie knew that the concern was in a &din- Lag mato, and that it did nut even pay the 'Merest of 115 capital. The payment of •these bilk, therefore, should i be 111A.1t1 out of their capital. But could Colonel Horne say, that he had been unfairly dealt with; Certaiuly I not. He had entered jute the concern with his eyes open He (Lord P ) again asserted, that nothing could justify Colonel Hume, who was the smallest partn mm er, in ti ithdr awing hie gallimi from that.cencersi• The so at fur which Ise , drew term 4,590/., - *tit it appeared that no nsortmeisan his own slime *lts mall erogas g o inta, the m a rket.

Aet applicatiOn fattegenknally nsmiq by the totters of these bills to the Coati of,Chancery fur au injunction to restrain Colodel Home from issuing any more, lest he shaittl injure the property to i mush. The injutrtion being ' granted,, Mr. Wit.itington was charged with 'jibe service of it.-----The No ble• Lord then refaced te.,the evidence of the other W itnesses• to this Wet, from which .lie contended it was clear that Colonel Home was awaeCof the 'more of the injunction, and lied employed a prison to repre sent hint, and so @hole `the service of this process. Of this contact, which was certainly most ougentletimuly sad unothcer like, the Court of Inquiry found inns guilty. Bub in fact, the first &eke which the Cournauder-io- Chief had of this transaction, was by his limits; his at tention called to a placard which was posted up in all ~parts of the metropolis. Counter-placards afterwards a-- peered, issued, it must be presumed, by the friends of , Clonel lims, vindicating his conduct ; hut the Noble • Lord asked, n was, this the way in which a Lieut.-Colood of the Guards should reply to such en Weak? The Noble Lord here produced an immense placard, which was the one alluded to. He (Lord P.) had no hesitation in saying now that it was the original intention of the C om mauder-in-Chief to have brought Colonel Home to a Court Martial, but the Judge Advocate gave an opinion against the measure, ou the 'ground that it involved questions affecting third parties. Colonel bonus having applied to he Courts of Law to ascertain whether the production of these papers could be insisted upou, was answered by Chief Justices Abbott and Dallas, that the Minutes of a Court of Inquiry could not be demanded, though those of a Court Martial might. But it was not true that. a Court of Inquiry was either unconstitutional or novel in its principle. 'I here were now to he filund Records of Boards of Inquiry, as far back as the middle of the last century, and there could be no doutt but they , existed long before. The Noble Lord then read at length the opinions of the Chief Justices upon the case+ submitted to them. The gist of these ripinions was, that as the King had it always in Isis power to dismiss Lis officers, the bringing wiserthm before a Court of Inquiry, as a preparatory step, ther an set of kindness than o therwise.. After spine,nioo obsereatlena in the to s train, the . \ ohlifrordcOntlniled by iiiiinnpluirfalill the remoras urged he slionid amide the mottoitl • Mr. BENNET spoke in reply, and said ii .14 mike was refused he should be sttisthol in kuowing, that in the mind and jtolgnient of the public souse jastice.weull be done to this moot, injured individual.

The motion was then negatived without a division. N£WPOUNDLAND. Mr, WILMOT rose pursuant to notice to Move for leave to bring Ina Bill to amend the laws iti the Colnny of New foundland. He said the measure he was shout to propos:. would embrace three distinct objects; the. first was, to in troduce amendments In the state of the. laws ?elating to the tisiteries. to encourage the cultivation of the soil, and im prove the law relatingao marriages. In the second place it" was intended t 1 iittroduce impravements ic the Courts of Justice, so that justice might he administered conformably t o British Jerisprhdecce; and the third objtet was the insti tution of a local power to make aye-laws for the regulation of particular districts. He admitted that many ineonve nieoces and abates existed in this colony. in consequence of the Imperfect coustruc.ion of Courts of Justice, and tit., im -roper coadeet of the persons presiding in them. These; He WWI. •eats before the Rouse with laforoistios as to the state if those I.:Wattles before say measure of this kiwi was adopted. Dr. LUSIIINGION was convinced that the two sys• trios of jurisdictions could not go tan ;together, and wished to know whether the consent of the inhabitants bail been obtained fur the proposed alterations : if not, it would he most uust to legislate for them without knowing whs.- ' ti the proposed measures were likely to be approved by them, or were conformable to their habits. Mr. WILMOT said be founded this measure on a his• tory which had been published respecting is colony. — lie said there were peculiar circumstances in the state of soriity in Newfoundland, which would render it impos sible to ealloet the opinions of the inhabitants as to the regulations which Uoverntuent might think tit to esta blish here, awl for iehich Government would take the whole responsibility on themselves. The SUMO circurn stanesajorould also render it necessary to continue many of the earsepuir jorittlistiarns.

General (MSCUYNE complained of the hardship of the present system, in snaking the - payment of half-pay officers arid widows in Irish currency merely incidental upon their residence in that country. It prevented the residence of that class in that country, the wautof which nes now so flinch deplored—naniely, a resident gentry, by imposing a tax of Si per cent. upon their residence. The Lion. Member concluded by musing for a copy of the warrant of the 6th of the present month, issued trout the War Office, ordering that the pensions of half-pay officers and widows, and orphans of officers, residing to Deland, should be paid in Irish currency. Lord PALMERSTON said that he would not oppose the motion of the Hon. Member, but he thought that be should have also moved for copies of the warrants issued in Sept. and May, in order to give the House the fullest information upon the subject. Ile did not think it un reasonaltte that those resident in Ireland should be pant in Irish currency, when it was considered that they paid for every article they used in that currency . If an ahem- tion Awes to he made in bayou of half-pay officers in Ire laud, it would produce a difference of one hundred thou sand punnda a-year. Gen.IiNSCOYNE explained. Sir J. NEWPORT said that the Noble Lord should recollect that those who were paid in Irish currency w ere, however, obliged to pay the taxes in British currency.— He maintained that so far from attaching a penalty of Si per cent. upon the residence of lialf-pay Officers in Ire land, there was no class of men whose residence in that country ought to be more encouraged, because there were none who could more contribute to improve the in- Mint of the country by the valuable store of information they had acquired. The Noble Lord forgot that there was no penalty imposed upon a res idence in France.— They who went to reside in that country were still plaid in British cutreucy. It was a strange anomaly that it was only in tat counry where their residence s most wanted, t h at they incurred a penalty for choosinwag it as their abode. Mr. HUME lieped that the pay' of all the army would be put un an equal footing. He entirely concurred in the sentiments of the Hon. Baronet. The motion was agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON then moved for copies of the Warrants issued trot' the War office in Sept. and May of last year, ordering officers on half-pay, and widows and orphans of officers, receiving allowances in Ireland, to be pankin British corrency.—Agrced to. excise sten cusTosis. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose t move fur leave to bring in a Bill to'consolidate certain. Revenue Departments of Great Britain and "reknit!. The I Right Rol. Gentleman observed, that the Commissioners t of Iniptiry bad furnished so much information on the subject of the Excise in Ireland, that it was only neces sary to state to the Howe the principle he was desitous to recommend. The three Boards of Excise in England and Ireland consisted or 39 persons, receiving adequate salaries ; all these Boards mere under the superiti,end nice of the Treasury, lint an uniformity of practice coul.l nut lie expected.
