The House having been occupied in ballotin.- for a Committee to try the merits of the Petition, complain• ing of an undue return of the Borough of Portsmouth, the Gallery was not opened until half-past four. General MONTGOMERY presented a Petition from the Freeholders of Ayrshire, against the Scotch Jury Bill. Mr. ABEItCROMBIE said a few words in contra yentibn of the prayer of the Petition. The LORD ADVOCATE supported the Petition, and said that when the second reading of the Bill came on, he would offer such reasons against it as be thought would induce the House to reject it. Sir R. FERGUSSON advocated the principle of the 8111, and argned the propriety of allowing prisoners in Scotland the benefit of being tried by a Jury con stituted like an English one. Mr. DE` MAN said a few words on the same side; and Sir G. CLERK supported the Petition, which was ordered to be printed. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. R. MARLIN said he had to call the attention of the House to a matter connected with its character and privileges. Ile had on the preceding evening presented a Petition from the Stage Coach Proprietors of London, praying that some measure might be abspted for pnaishing, in a ettnintary manner, those persons in their employment who by ill-treatment isr. jutted and maimed their horses. This, said the tloa. Umber, was a serious and grave matter, and vet a idaDy paper had represented the very mention of it as lsevlog convulsed the House with laughter. lie (Mr. 54.) bad spokes of a horse's eye being knocked oat, rand this lamentable fact, which in such an Assembly ought to excite any other feeling than that of merri userat. was said to convulse the House with laughter. Much a statement was derogatory to the character of the !louse. He would not detain the House longer by tioninienting.upon it. The Report had appeared in The. Timis newspaper of that moeniag, and it was his intention to move that the Printer and Publisher Of that paper be called to the Bar. He then gave in the pairagTaph complained of, which was read by the Clerk at the table as follows 4' Mr. R. MAR FIN rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the House to a Petition which had been put into his hands by several individua and its ls of ca rital and respectability iu this metropolis trinity. In the present state of the law it was much to be lamented that horses of the ;nest valuable cha racter might have an eye knocked out (a langla), or h e irretrievably ruined f or ever (a laugh), by grooms or other servants, against whom, from their, statious in life, no damages could be resoverred." The ahows.puisage having been read, the Honest , able Member added, that what eoneitiortsLhini that this wis a thali• hitt, misrepresentation, both •as regarded nim and :hat ass: mthly, wag, the: he hail read Al t!le After a pause, au we could not hear, seconded it. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that undoubtedly the Privileges of the Noose, and of every Ilmsoorable Member, ought to be protected ; bet this wits ease of so trifling a nature, that it did not deserve veiry Se rious attention. The word "a laugh," iosettei in a parenthesis, appeared to apply to some particular ex pression, and not to the subject at that time before the Huse,—(Hear, hear) 11. of this kind here to become inbjeal tarnp* Pir lir time would be occupied every day in listening to them. Ile therefore trusted to the good nature of the lion. Mem ber for inducing him not to persevere with the mo tioa.—(Hear.) Mr. R. MARTIN midis@ would yield to the Right Honourable Oentlensin's suggestion; yet as to the imputation of having convulsed the House with laughter, he mast say that be was happy he had an opportunity of 'hewing that he bad said nothing to excite laughter, or provoke unseasonable merriment in that (louse. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW stated it as his opinion, that the House had not treated the subject with levity, but agreed with the Right lion. Oentletnan that it was not a matter which called for so important a proceeding The Motion was then withdrawn. Lord J. RUSSELL presented a Petition from a class of religions persons called Separatists, of the town of Ennis, praying, as well as we could understand, from the noise prevalent in the House, that they might be allowed by law to make affirmation,in place of taking an oath. Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. THOMPSON presented a Petition from the' Company of Dyers of the North side of the river, praying that the Thames Wharfs' Bill might pass into a law.—Ordered to lie on the Table. The reduced List of Members appointed on the Committee to try the Borough of Portsmouth Elec tion Petition was then brought up aid read. BREAM OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. BENNET moved the Order of the Day for calling T. Arrowsmith, Wm. Shackell, K. T. Weaver, and Henry Cooper, to the Bar.
