'chit subject. On the contrery, Ise bad beliesedtbrit de aloe were very prevalent upon it, -and it was fur the purpose of removing those doubt*, thit he bad made his preseet motion. As the Attorney.Gnneral, for whose-opining he enterteined great respect, told `him that there were unaloubts on the subject, ha was not foolish enough to wish to introducwt Rill to remove doubts which did not exist. Hie coudegt io the affair in question bad been called in questing. it hod fallen once or twice from the Honourable. Upd, Learned • Geotleman, that he (Lord Folkestone) ,bad wished to establish the right of the Magistrates to g 9 sod bold secret communication with suspected traitors. He 'bad no such object, He thoeght he had a right to 'visit them; and be went to try that right. .14 al lowed, that after he had been in the first instance re fused admisslee, the jailer offered to let him in, if 'he would previously stipulate what he would say 'when in. This he refused, as unbecoming a .Magis trate' and be had told the jailer, that were be tared. - reit him on those terms he would not satisfy him (Lord Folkestone), and might °fend those whose. . pe remptory orders he had received on the sub. eat. Now he wished to know what there was pe mproper in that ? An Ilonoemble • Gentkmae lied been pleased to say that be had, stated only pieta of the case, and not the whole.—.—The fact was, that belied not stated any pert of the case. 'lie had not alluded to any part of the proceedings 'before the Quarter Sessions. Ile would now state the whole slog :.--.011 the 10th of June he went to 'what the jail, accompeeied_ by several Magistrates. They had a good deal of discussion with the jailer, who reified to admit them....illere he would ob. reeve, wkhoot having the least animosity to the in. divides!, that the discovery of his great merits had taken place since the recent occurrences ~ and that lie (Lord Folkstone) had so reason to believe, that ' the high eulogies bestowed on him were perfectly well founde4.3-11e to tempted to peesnade the jailer that he was acting illegally, to which be replied, " I quite agree with you ; I believe I. have no right to keep you out ; but I am ordered by my superiors to do so, and I must ()Spy." On ttsf. 14th of June, he again went to the jail, but the jailer persisted in his refusal to admit him. At the ensuing Quarter Ses sions, he (Lord F.). offended, made a luring! Com plaint of the conduct of the jailer, and moved a get of resolutions, one of which was, that the Meg's trite, had a right, under the Statute of the 31st of the King, to go into the jell. , The Court unani mously agreed in his opinion. The jailer was called in and admonished; and told that the Magistrates Considered they bad a right to visit the jail. Tim jailer applied for leave to write to the Secre tary of State. This was refused, and an hour given to him for his determination, at the expiration of which period, he said he would let them in; Ile (Lord Folkesone) then thought the question was set at rest ; but a month afterwards he was told, that the jailer persisted in his refusal to Admit the Ms. gistrates. A few days before the nest Quarter Seto. along he (Lord Folkestiiee) called at 'the-jail, and required admittance, but was refused, mid A leTser of Lord Sidmouth's was shown to him. lie was time on his way to town; and when he arrived there ba4. an indictment drawn against the Jailer. Returning to the Quarter Sessions, be there made a tallier com plaint. Ile found on the Bench an unpeevedentiol number of Magistrates. Gentlemen were there who were sot at all in the habit of attending. Ile learot that they had come for purpose of reversing the order of the last Court. As the Jailer had refused to obey the estanimoes order of :the Coast, whine serteet be was, it was the defy of the Court, is • the: main tenance of their character and dignity, to take uo.. lice of that refesal, and that notice was only to suspend him until the trial of the iodicement in goes. lion. That this was the least which the Court of Quarter Sessions could do was his opinion then—it was his °pistil's still. As to the publication of the Resolutions in the Newspapers, he had voted against it ; and, with respect to the names of the Magi. strafes who voted against the Resolutions being at. tacked to them, the Rea. Gentleman whe had made that charge ought to knew, that when any Resolu tions - passed at a Coast of Quarter Session, were published, the eases of theislogiatrates present al. ways preceded them. There was no part of the whole proceeding he felt the least ashamed sf, or that he would not go ewer agile auderthe same sir. cumstaaces. Mr. S. BOURNE and Lord FOLKESTONE mutually egpkined.

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER. stated, that he had no:objection to the production of the Circular ; bat not being aware of that Honour. ,able and Learned Gentleman's intention to, move for Illtrliting beyond that, he was not prepareil at pre lent to agree to hit second Motion. 3 .. 111 r. BROUG RANI !aid, he should confine himself at present to the Circalar, hut after the holidays tie should call the attention of the House to the abuses in the collection of the Assessed Tam, and to Defaul ter,. He wished, however, at present, to call the at tention of the Right Honourable Gentlemen to one branch of Defaulters, through whom great injustice bad happened—and he did it that the Right Honour: able Gent knout might apply his mind to the staled during the holidays. It was a very 4 . bardshiV that persons should he exposed to pay their taxes twice over, from the embezzlement of some Defaut. ler. In general the persons who collected tales alight be said to be chosen, in some degree, by the persons paying fuses. But this was not always the case; and! it wet a great hardship that persons, who hid no con-1 trial over Collectors, should atilt be liable for De faulters. lie alluded particularly to the case of ..late Defaulter in thettedsance Deportment, who had ab sconded with 20,0001. in his hands, in consequence many Military and Civil Officers, and, in:particular, amity Half-pay Officers, had considerable sums to pay over again. There perms had no coutrool over tree appointment of this Walther, and yet 'they were liable fur him. Of all men Half-pay Officers were least stile to bear such a loss. How this person could Ile allowed to have so large a balance inland, he was at a loss to know—he hoped it was not through fa- I tour. The motion, that there be laid before the Rom a Copy of the Circular fatter from the Tax-office, of the let December, 1817, was then agreed to. , Sir JOHN -NEWPORT moved for an hecoent of the several Unions of Parishes which had been effected in Ireland by the Lord Lieutenant in Council, under- the Act of t George I. and sabsequent Irish Statutes, specifying the dates, Dames of Parishes upited, and Dioceses • and for a 'similar Argoept of the Parishes disunit ed by the Lord Lieutenant in Council, under the 2 George 1., the 1 George 11., and subsequent Irish Statutes, with similar specifics dims. His reason foe moving for these Paper was, that the House might see to what *trent the union of. Parishes, in consequence of the :nervosa of Pastur age, had been carried. When this state of things cheated, a great conversion from pasture land to till g, took pleee, the religious worship of the cots. try required different measures. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to ask the Chancelier, of the. Eactiequer, whether the Order cespecting the' Property Tax. Reterns had been obeyed ? . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEB., answered in an inaudible tone of voice. . I BROUG II Ahl said, since the last tievp.lho bed spoken ou this subject, he had received.lS pr. ten made by a very worthy Glergyreaw i wheal come, he was sorry to see, was ender the 1001. though be bad thought it higher. S‘VING BANKS. • The CllANCkl.i.thi of the EXCIIEQVER said, he rose to mole fur leave to bring in a Bill -to amend the Act relative to Saving Banks. His chief object was, to remove some technical difficulties in the Act, as it now stood. lie congratulated the • House and the•country on the prosperous state et, these most useful iastitations.—(lkar, hear !)-lle could now state from a paper which he held ia his hand, that the actual amount of the monies depo sited in the Saving flanks of England, Prom the 6th of August to the tat of this month, was-657,0001. General THORN EON impressed himself in terms of great approbation at the state of those Banks ; bet ' he wished so high a rate of interest as the debeolores *ow boat, should not be granted ; bosses. it might hereafter have injurious effects on the feeds. The poor only wanted to have their money in oaf. tum- Lady ; and did nor desire any interest. • Sir JOHN NEWPORT differed is °piston from the loomed Gentleman, whose proposal woeld bee tleatb.blow too system, that, of all ethers, bad tbe • greatest possible 'tint in producing habits of sobrie. ty and fregolity among the lower orders of the Peo ple; turd the gratitude of the couotry was duo to the 'Chancellor of the Esslicquer fur giving the amity _ S'rATFSMAM. . • of Govoroasont to the little gasbags laid op in these Banks & -- bir.-13ABIN(OON highly 'wowed of 4 wilit fell frie r' lb. iilon.
