HOUSE OF OF COMMONS, Falbay, Aram 6. The SPEAKS* tonic the Chair at half•past three o'clock, and was shortly after summoned in the usual manner to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given to certain Bills, for which see Lords' Report. NEWINGTON VFSTRY BILL COMMITTEE. As soon as the SPSAKER had returned to the House, and regunied the Chair, Sir It. WILSON addressed the Chair on the suhject of some most tlisorderly and irregular conduct which had taken place that morning In a Committee up stairs appointed by the Wine. This conduct was of such a nature that he conceited it incumbent on him to repre• sent it to the House, and to obtain that justice from them, which it had been found ionpospible to obtain from the Chairman of the Committee. The House would remember the circumstances under which the present Committee on the Newington Select Vestry. Bill was appointed. It had been the opinion of the last Committee on that Bill, that the preamble of the Bill was not true, in consequence of some of the Standing Orders of that House not having Woo strictly complied, with. l'pou receiving this Report, the [louse was in duced to appoint a Special Committee, to examine into the abstract point of whether the StandingOrdere , alluded to hail been infringed, or not. That Special Committee having reported that the said Orders of the House hail been sufficiently complied with to justify the further progress of the Bill, the House again ap pointed a Cou aaaa ittee on the Bill, wills power to send for persons, papers, and records. This was the his tory of the transaction up to that day, when on the as sembling of the Committee, his lion. Friend, the Mem ber for the Borough, thoaght fit to make a proposition to send for the Report of the Special Committee, which motion was carried by a decided majority ; but not withstanding that the Chairman, the lion. Member for Surrey (Mr. H. Sumner) was the means of preven ing the decision of the Committee from being carried into effect. Ender these circumstances, the perverseness of the Chairman obstructing all proceeding with the business of the Committee, lie (Sir R. Wilson) (moved an adjournment, in order that they might have the benefit of the Speaker's advice ; for their exclusion from sending for the Report by which they were authorised to sit, appeared to him to be a gross violation of justice, and time orders of the House itself. That iinm.s lion was put and car ried by a majority in the nega tive, and thus they saw themselves deprived of the means of ascertaining the extent of the powers with which they were invested, or of the views by which they were di rected to sit again. He was aware that in the space of time which these proceelings occupied, great disorder prevailed in the Committee ; and in the course of the discussion about to ensue, allusions would be made to the irregularities that ono- co 11111 l itted ; but he begged to ask who were the cause and origin of the whole:— Those miti.loubtedly who refused to send for the papers demanded by the Coi 1111 l ittee in the first place, and then opposed a reasonable opposition to refer the questions at issue to the Speaker. Such conduct was in violation of every principle of common sense and justice. He was confident the House would hear out the decision of the Committee, by ordering the paper in question to be re ferred to it. and he hoped it would he remembered that if' they did not enforce their own regulations they could have no hope of being able to command respect out of doors. For these reasons. he should move " That the Reports made by the late Committee on the Standing Orders of the House with respect to the Newington Se lect Vestry Committee, be referred to the said Coin miltee." Mr. H gUMNER said, that the motion was as im portant in its consequences as extraordinary in its ns tnre. lie, as Chairman of the Com 11l liter, would con• Rider it his duty to bring the whole twitter before the House as soon as there should he a full attendance of Members. His motion would certainly be one in the spirit of complaint agaiust the couJuct of several Members of the Committee. Mr. HUM E said, that the present was the proper time for the Hun. Member to bring forward his threatened complaint. He felt that it would be the duty of some Member to bring forward a complaint against the Chair man himself.—(Hear.) Mr. H. SUMNER said, the only reason for delaying his motion was the very thin state of the House. Mr. HUME said, that he thought time reason an ex traordinary one. He saw millions of the public money were voted by much thinner Houses.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LITTLETON took the opportunity of calling the a tt e ntion of the House to the manner in which private business was conducted; anti he gave notice of • Isis in tention to bring the subject before the House during the present Session. Mr. Srrjeant oNsLoir said that the ground of dig ference, as appeared to him, sprang out of a motion that the Report of the Select Committee shou'ad be read. Mr. W. COURTENAY begged to call to the recol lection of the House that the motion of the Honour able and Gallant General, the Member for Southwark, remained to be disposed of. Sir It. HERON said, that if the Honourable Member (Mr. Sumner) had, as Chairman of the Committee, pursued a more temperateline of conduct, the present transaction never would hare been hron7ht before the House. The conduct of the Honourable Member appeared more like a partial advocate than an indifferent and impartial Chairman of a Committee of that House. The motion was then put and curried. Mr Hl: ME next rose, and was about to address the House, when Mr. S. WORTLEY said, that if the Honourable Yilember were al tto bring- forward any motion re specting the conduct of the Chairman, he would pro test against such motion without previous notice be ing given. HOME submitted to the Speaker that the pre sent was the time to call the attention of the House to transactions respecting a private Bill. The SPEAKER said, with respect to the proper time for any lion. Member to bring forward a motion, lie could not be expected to determine. With respect to the point of orde-, certainly a question might be raised as to the priority of private or public business ; bit he apprehended that the House would be ready at any time to entertain public questions, it remaining - in the breast of the House itself and of Hon. Members bow far the convenience of the House should be con sulted in regard to time. r- Mr. MIME then proceeded to make his motion. He should not Isere pprsistell in troubling the House at that particular period, had it not been for the threat held out by the HO*. Chairman that he would, as soon as the Speaker took the Chair, bring a charge against every individual who had opposed him in the Committee. The lion. Member then recounted the occurrences of the morning in the Committee alluded to. There were lie believed twenty-live Members on esteil side who would be obi," to corroborate his state ment, or put the House in possession of the facts of the ease. As he disapproved of the . principle of the Bill, which went to disfranchise a great number of the inhabitants of the parish of \e►vington, he had made a point of attending this Committee, which that morn ing lie had fou►:d very fully attended with not less than 50 or 60 nip/obert. His lion. Friend moved as he went into the Committee that the Report of the Se lect Committee be read. .1 division took place on this question, which was opposed by the lion. Chairman. At the imminent of proceeding to divide, three members came in, one of whom was the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury. Time Chairtuan upon this declared that those Members should not vote, and directed them in a manner not remarkable for mildness or urbanity to leave the room. His lion. Friend, the Member for Shrewsbury, refused toil() this, declaring that although he might not be permitted to vote he saw no reason for quitting the room, and had never heard of such a command coining from the Chairman of any Com mitter up stairs before. The Hon. Chairman then with no treat alteration in tone or gesture, ordered the Clerk to write down the names of these them Members vowing that they should not be allowed to vote. This might tend to give the blouse a notion of the temper likely to have been created in the Com mittee. The lion. Member for Huil declared, that he should have been in the room time enough to be en titled to vote hail it nut been for the exit of strangers which prevented his entering, although It' had his hand on the handle ..f the door and heard the question put from the Chair. Under these circumstances he contended it was the duty of the Chairman to put tl►e question again. This the Chairman refused. It was then moved that the Committee should adjourn, in order to refer the point in dispute to the Speaker. This motion was also negatived, although he was con ♦inced there could not have been a more reasonable one tinder the circumstances made. The division ac cordingly took place ; and when the tellers handed up their report of the numbers, through the Clerk, to time Chairman, that Hon. lientleman, with that peculiar suavity of mariners fur which he was distinguished, threw the paper down on the table, declaring that he would not pmt it. Such were the circumstances which originated the confusion complained uf ; and although he scarcely knew if he were proceeding regularly, he should move that it be a resolution of the (louse, "Th►at the conduct of the Chairman of the Committee appointed by that House to sit upon the Newington Select Vestry Bill, was intemperate and irregular, and led to riot and disorder in the Committee." The Hun. Member was proceeding to write down his motion, in order to band it to the Speaker to put to the (louse, when— Hr. WYNNE remarked upon the anomaly of calling upon the House to pass an opinion upon a subject of which they mild know nothinz.—{Near.)-.—lf the motion were entertained, the House would be occupied the next hour and a half in hearing contradictory statements from the two - sides of the House. which could leid them to no satisfactory conclusion. Mr. HUME said, that be had no objection to delay his motion. After a few words from Mr. WRO'TTESGET, The SPEAKER observed, that the numbers of the proceedings of the Committee must have been taken. and it would be necessary. in the flint instance,ft have those number. before the House Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, that the motion Were the House was caused by a notice given by the Hoe. Member (Mr. Runner) of rather a crimiaatery nature. Undoubtedly it was competent for the Chairman of a Committee to bring forward any motion he might Wok fit, either with or without the instructions of the Com. mime, but to give notice of a criminatory proceeding against certain Members of the Committee, without the instramiess n< sogh Qiegpmialg t wip e tom. least of It; ' in Unusual proceaing—was a from that temperance and impartiality which were the first and most valuable qualities of a President. It. appeared that extreme disorder and violence pre vailed in the Committee—disorder and violence from which, of course, the lion. Member escaped, in come quence of the peculiar happiness of his temper— (Mach laughterr.)—The Hon. Member, however, came down from the Committee to that House, and rave notice of a proceeding of a Eliminatory nature against some Members of the Committee; and he very properly intended to bring forward that motion whilst the. minds of the fifty Members who sat on the Committee • were yet heated, from the disorderly proreedlags of the day. Was that a moment to discuss the threatesed motion?—No doubt the lion. Member, from his un paralleled command over his own (eelings—(A laugh) —from his extreme temperance, and his habitual mildness, would escape that warmth in debate which tientlemen, not gifted with such superior endowments of temper, would naturally be subjected to. The lion. ausl Learned Gentleman said, that the inquiry would lead to no useful poop ,se whatever; it would lead to no result that would be either creditable or useful. Il e would therefore recommend the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sumner) to withdraw his motion, and his lion. Friend (Mr. How) would not persist in his motion, which was put ely defensive. Mr. SCNINEII said, he would not be thrown off his guard by the very invidious insinuations of the Honourable and Learned Geutleinan—(a laugh),—or the very unhandsome part which he had taken. He denied that his notice, though one certainly of con.- • plaint, was of a criminatory nature, and he was ready to go on with it. He waited for the opinion of the House, whethei he should appear as the accuser or the accuses'. M. W 1 NN suggested the people*. a s.delay to Monday. 31r. DENISON said be was sorry that the lion. Dent!email should have been betrayed into s slight deviation front Ole right line. Mr. SUMNER spoke to order. He wished to know whether he was now called upon to defrnd his conduct ? Mr. S. WORTLEY snggested the propriety of the Honourable Member withdrawing his notice of mo tion till Monday. After the lionottrable Gentleman sat down, sever.,l Members rose together and caused some confusion iu the House. Mr. DENISON said, that, if he were not inter• rupted, he would have made a proposition which would have reconciled all parties ; it was, that the Com mittee ha. to got a paper which they deemed essen tial, if the Honourable Member for Surrey would ►rithdraw his threat of an accusation, the Members of the Committee ►would be contented not to proceed further. Mr. SUMNER refused to withdraw his notice, and was proceeding to wake sonic observations, when-- Sir J. NEWPORT said, that he hoped a delay of at least •iti hours would be allowed to take place. Mr. SUMNER said, it was indifferent to him; he was ready to I roceed now or on Monday. Mr BP,NNET said, that as he was likely to form a figure in the discussion, he would not consent to have it postponed for a single hour. He was quite ready to say, that heats hail existed on both sides in the Committee. He (Mr. Rennet) had then forgotten then►--(hear, hear') ;—hut he saw that vindictive feeliii.rs urged the Honourable Member to pursue the matter against those who differed with him in the Com mittee. Whether they proceeded on the inquiry now or on Monday, they would find themselves in this singular predicament-45 members would appear on each side, flatly contradicting each other—(a loud laugh.)—lie would pledge himself that that would be the case. What had already occurred ? The Chairman ass •rted that he put the question. An Ho nourable Member replied, " you did no such thing— (a laugh)."—This occurred a , the starting-post. The House might judge what would take place before the conclusion. The House should recollect that these proceedings would go forth to the public—they would be emblazoned in every country where the EngliA language was understood—it would be read with sur prise, that on Committee on the Parish Bill, 50 gen tlemen of the (louse of Commons lint their temper and forgot themselves—and that the Chairman of that Committee CAMP down to-the House to prefer an accu sation against a number of Members of ir. The SPEAKER said, that the House always re posed in its Committees the utmost confidence, slid never imputed int ntlons to pursue a wrong line of ca. - duct. With respect to the points that fame imme diately before the House, the practice of Parliament was, that Membets who entered .the House whilst strangers were withdrawing, after the questiee was put, had nut a right to rote on the question. As to the it other po i nt, appeared to him, that where the Report oldie Tellers agreed as to numbers, that report waft always stied on. Metnbers were never counted ilk se cond time, unless there existed a strong impression that an error bad taken place in couating. Weems eeptions and errors might take place without 'DJ a existed for throwing any imputation un the currla : of any party. Ile suggested that if any farther f r:- MR.
