He knew be should be told, as upon former Chronicle = ar t y i n m u tt on p r i se ' L ea. eceasiesta, that the Magistrates of the County of The Tune Re &eau: or to Paget Somerset were honoorable and humane men ! He Mad* Calendar, omelets/ the legunmeseme fee mit. would deny the fact. It was neither humane nor just to set towards a man as they bad acted towards Mr. Hunt. It was was acting regardless of public 'twice and the liberties of the people. The Her. Member then read pets of the Petition, in one of widish the Magistrates were charged with malicious mekempeiciorls motives is their treatment of Mr. eonearre4 la all the views of Gift Petition. /Hi THOMAS LETRIPHIDOE did not'rhe tp oppose the reeeption of the Traitlou, but to protest egalnst the lespetadon of malicious or capricious motives to the ma gistracy of the county of Somerset. It was q.ite im possible that men of their character could act from such motives fend be did think it exceedingly hard that they shoed he exposed to such charges. It would be well for the House to art its face against such Petitions as the present, and although he did out oljert to, its being brought up. be hoped that some mark of the disapprobation of the Rouse would be manifested fie would tell the Hos. Member for Aberdeen that there had keen no malice entertained towards the prisoner, and that be never had bees in solitary confinement, — Whoa he was first there, indslgencies were granted to lida *bleb no prisoner in bis situation ever possessed : and that bad been the cause of all the complaints and abuse now directed opine the Magistrates. It was peculiarly bard that they should . be subjected to such attacks for the perform a aere of painful dnty, in en hieing rules and regalatioes which haul beers sanction ed audordered by the highest authority. The SOLICITOR-GENEftAIi certainly felt it ne esesory.la consequence of what bad jag past, to ad dress a fey words to the House. It was a remarkable eirenmeamee that the Hon. Member fur Aberdeen had chosen to repeat to the House an attack wpm Mho elm gistrates of the county of Somerset, which wits made some days ago. He (the Soliciter-General) at that time stated, that an application bad been wade to the Court of King's Bench, and that inqairies were aetnally he. lag as*. When that application Was made to the Judges, whom the Honourable Member for Alserdems hid so scandalously libelled.—(Loud cheers)—the up. plication came in au irregular manner, being without the meal affidavits. The Judges, however, immedi ately nwrg and gave the necessary orders for procairing these sidevits, and for taking the regular steps in such cams. Notwithstaatling this, however, Mr. Host bad takes no steps whatever. and nothing moos had bora heard of him. fit remained. therefore, for the lierepeo ormelade Gm* e complests were at least exammentall, and tismit ti ti os udgesent aotil the proper investigatio• upon The Moo. Member for Aber.' deem - to mi. that Mr. Justice Beet 014 astboiladlo stsfo penishelteltt upon the primmer MIA the to~nitooto_ led. He admitted that in subsea * witatWeadereersytereas tyrants/ to beet Miil was correct. But if the Petitios stated that Mr. Justice Best bad la any war directed the indiction of arbitrary confinement upon tfie prisoner, be believed it to state that which was entirely false. He bad sent for a copy of the roles and regulations signed by Mr., Baron Oma has and Mr. Justice Best, and he could answer that they eoutained nothing against the law of the bowl, and nothing bat what bad been sanctioned by the prede cessors of those Learned Judges ;—of men whose chm racier and talents were of the highest description, sad who had as much respect for the law, and for the rational liberties of the country as the lion. Member for Aber deen.—(Cheers.)—With respect to the question of the il legality of the Manchester Meeting and of Mr. linnt's confine' there, it had eventually come before the twelve Judges, and after hearing it argued before them in a most able manner by those concerned for Mr. Hume, witb.tbe greatest patience cad attention, they came to all unanimous decision that the meeting was illegal.— Where he had the honour to address the House upon this subject, be always predicted that such would be the result if the question were sent to threourts of Law. But the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, doubtless considered himself better qualified to understand the law and the constitution than those who had spent their whole lives in studying it. He had always understood that nothing was more necessary than for the character of the Judges of the land to stand uoreproached.—(Hear.) —Therefore, if there was any thing distinct to be charg ed against them, let it be brought forward regularly and directly. Bat let not the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. under cover of a petition, traduce and calumniate the Judges in a manner which, out of that House, be Amalfi call scandalous. Mr. G. BENNET load received a letter from Mr. Hunt that morning. He was not in the habit of cones. pending with him, and if he was, he should not be' ashamed of so doing. He had received the rules and regulations of the prison,• and they were by no mesas applicable to the offences like that for which Mr. Heat suffered. They were intended for felons; and it was the first time that a person confined for a political mis demeanor had been subjected to them. He then remark. ed upon what be considered to be the lofty tone assumed by the Hon. and Learned Solicitor•tieneral upon all *e t:maims., as if be was sitting in the chair of the Old Bailey. if persons bad been accustomed to certain manners elsewhere, they ought to change them when they got into that House, and endeavour to snit then, to the society they were in. When he charged his Hon, Friend with uttering scandalous libels, be (Mr. B.) did not know where the lion. and Learned Gentleman had picked up such language, nor did he care ; but be was 9uite sure that it was neither tit nor proper to be used in that House. The Hon. Nfetriber then stated that be had the highest respect fur Mr. Justice Bayley. but Ite• must protest against Members not having the liberty ref speaking . their sentiments, if they believed the Judges to be acting improperly. A Member would less faith fully discharge his duty by remaining silent, than by de livening his opinion. Mr. LOCKHART agreed that it would be an Many rantabla act to inflict the punishment of solitary cOll6OO. meet upon the prisoner. As the Hon. Baronet, hos - ever, had denied that Mr. Hunt had been placed in sill- Aar, confinement, be was bound to believe that that was the ease. If any roles made by Magistrates and sane [Boned by Judges could lead to that punishment, mi lking could be more unconstitutional, and the laws upon the point ought to be looked into sod restored to their original vigour. It was his opinion that no such principle as that of solitary confiorrent was re- Mr. PARIMOCSE brought up the 18th Report of the Carnattic Commissioners. Mr. CREEVEY said, that in consequence of there be ing no house yesterday, his motion upon the Ministerial Pension Act of 1817 had dropped. He therefore beg ged leave to give notice of the sane motion for this day se'asight. Whilst on his legs be would also give notice of a motion upon the subject of the Offices ander the Board of Control, for this day fortnight. ASRICULTDRAL DISTRESS. Mr. LOCKHART presented Petitions from Scarsdale, and a place, the name of which we could not learn, pray ing relief from Agricultural Distress. 31r. JONES expressed his opinion that the plan adopt ed by Ministers would afford no relief. The redaction of a shilling a quarter upon malt would only give every partial relief to the barley counties. He contended that the duty on salt hying removed would afford a mere ge neral and effective relief. The removal of that tax, and some regulation on the tax of leather, would he all that was necessary. At present the duty was so much per pound, and the poor man being obliged to hare thicker soles than the ladies, consequently he paid a mach higher tax upon his shoes. Some further reductions ought to be made in the expenditure, and be thought the Civil List was the quarter from whence they ought to commence. He believed that Ministers had and deserved the confidence of the country, and possessede hoped that they would continue to do so by attending to the general voice expressed at all, the county meetings without dissent, unless where reform was mixed up with other topics. He recommended that there should be au abolition of Lotteries, for it was absolutely unjust to suf. fur the poor man to pay a tax upon gaming, whilst the rich squandered their fortunes without contributing any thing for their play to the expeuces of the Oovernment. Either the Lottery should be abolished, or the gaming houses should be exposed to a tax. The Petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. DAVENPORT presented a Petition from certain Owners and Occupiers of Land in the county of Clie shire, praying relief from Agricultural distress.—Order ed to be printed. ORPHANS . 'CND. Sir W. CURTIS presented certain papers, with an se went of stuns paid into the Chamberlain's Office on amnia outfit Orphans' Fond.—Ordered to be printed. Ma. MINT. Mr. HUME presented a Petition, signed by 4 or WOO inhabitants of Preston and its vicinity, praying that part of the sentence of Mr. Hunt might be remitted.— The Hon. Member stated that be bad wriues to Mr. Hunt to ascertain the truth of the contents of the Petition, and that be had confirmed it. The Peti tion contained the same complaints as that presented to the House a few nights ago, as to Mr. Hunt be ing denied to see lie Surgeon and Solicitor, and sub mitted to solitary confinement. The Hon. Member then stated that he was quite convinced by the argu ments of the Hon. and Learned Member fur Notting ham (Mr. Dentuan,) that the Manchester meeting was a legal meeting, and that Mr. Hint was unjustly punished. He believed that no Jithtes, since the days of Judge Jelfetleei bad pronounced sentences of such -...- , • • i ognised in our law books. At d 1 mein; it Malt the the laws ill qoestion should be Pulsed. *se?. trrEIRKIDOR explained. The Petition bedew read, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL felt himself called upon to trouble the house again, particularly. for the purpose of explaining oatureofthe appliention made by 31r. Hunt, whieli sensed to have bees relsoilterstood. Hunt made an appfitation by letter to Mr. Jpetien Bayley, who immediately communicated it to the other Judgee. The letter complained that the Surgeon awl Solititor of the Prisoner had been excluded from weidg him. As the Court could give no judgment ripen a let ter without first hearing the other party and having the aftessary affidavits, th e y i mme di ate ly sent an or d er f or the ridentelion of the Solicitor to Mr. Hunt, in order that he beighespelehe with him, and take the reqsisite pre- Meetings. This was the position in which the case stood with regard to the Court of King's Bench. the Hod. Member for Shrewsbury had thought proper la charge him with bavinEc used unbecoming language ; sot to himself, but to soother Hee. Member of that Heat. It wonid be remembered Oat that Hon. 111.-Issiet thought proper to state that no jadgesest shoe the time of Jades Jefrevies e was more inhumes thee that passed upon Mr. Hunt. Now be would ask wheelier it was unbecoming in him to describe seek hogeepte as being grossly libellons. If the lion. Member for Shrews bury thought that he was to form his manners or his langs d ere to suit his view of a case, he was more mistaken. He begged the Honourable Member fbe ' Shrewsbury to understand that wh e re ve r hi bad occa sion to speak of hint or his acts, he shook' be ready to justify his langnag• there or in any other places The SPEAKER rose to order. The House would see, notwitbstendiac the mysterious language of the Hon. and Learned Member, obat was its intended mean inc. Nothing could be more injurious to the freedom of debate necessary to the proceedings of Parliament.— '(Hear, bear.)—He trusted that the Hon. and Learned Member would be the first to see the necessity! 40 his stating that the words he had use d were hewed mewl rey no other than their literal meaning. Che SOLICITOROENERAL said, Attie the len gusee be had need, he bad no inteatios bet that of justifying himself against the charge which bad been made. Mr. HC'IIE said, that the assertios of the lies. Bart. that Mr. Haut had not been in solitary confieseineet, was net sufficient authority for the house to go epos, *alms the Hon. Boronet put it in possessioe of the source of his information. The Hon. and Learned Geetlentan op posite (the Solicitor-General) had done that which he often did, he hail employed abuse instead of argument. He would recommend him not to resort to such means. of sot sure clothed in brief authority weenie that die ...trial style +Ariel, so ill became them. Let the Hen. Mad Learned Gentleman not suppose, that by using obese instead of argument, he co u ld pr oduce the effect lie intended, either there or out of doors. With regard to the subject of the Petition, he should probably bring khefore the House at as early period. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE explained.

The Petition was ordered to be printed. SLATE TRADE. Mr. BROUGHAM, seeing a Noble Lord in his plat% . wished to ask him if be bad received any official com munication from Spain. upon the gratifying Weill genre which bad been received through the (weigh prints, that the Cortes had abolished the Slave Trade. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that he was not in possession of any official document open the sgbjet t. He understood that the Cortes bad passed some laws foe giving more effect to the laws previously in force. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was doubtless aware that Spain bad already abolished the Slave Trade; but the laws now enacted rendered the dealing in slaves More penal.—(Hear, hear.)—When in possession of the laws. he should be happy to give the Hon. and Learned Uem. further information. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that of tonne he wOOlOO O O4 that the Government of Spain bad previously abolished the home trade by law. What be wished to know was, whether the Cortes bad not affixed the penalty of ten years labour in the galleys for the importation of slaves to Cuba. or any other part of the dominions of Spas ? Th. Marquess of LONDONDERRY understood that to be the nature of the laws. LAW CRARGER. Mr. DENISON gave-notice of a motion for tbe 7th of March, to revise the Acts of the Ist of George 1., or the 67th of 0,0.111., relative to the law charges. The Hon. Alember stated, that at the last Spring Amite' at King 'ton, there were eleven actions to recover the sum of 691. 7.. 61., the law expenses of which, amounted to 111/6/. 9e. 10d. ; and that at the last Summer Moires at Crog don, four actions fur the recovery of 71. es. bd. met in law expenses, 531/. be. Id. Mr. WODEHOUSE presented a Petition from cettain owners and occupiers of laird in the eastern part of the Isle of Ely.—Ordered to be printed. ME. MOTT. Mr. DENMAN presented a Petition from Mr. A. Oa• thorne Butt, a 'person who had been iniprisonal for a libel upon the Noble Marston opposite. Ha +ben liwought actions against Mr. Conant. the Magistrate, upon whose warrant he was committed to prison, and Mr. Brown, 'the Keeper of Nett/late, for receiving hint upon the warrant. For the expentes of these amigos he had been committed to Wititerross-street Prison, whets he had been one and twenty isootha. The Petitioner stated his belief that the Magistrate and Keeper of New. irate bad sot paid the costs of the seders% but had be►n indemnified by the tto►ernmaa'. blow if-this were ...so rrel, he should like to know froftwbst parse the lades, ai6cation had been made, It woes Matter that required the grays consideration of the Soya. Ho slionld now more that the petition Ils.npoo the table, sad be hoped that it would be rendetod annocessary to nochle the House Colby, with t►e ao,biect, by releasing the Pe titioner from prison.
