Lord 110 WICK did not esteem it a case where the P thinner wa ent i tled to such an indulgence. It AO, a questioi. of taZI, and enough had been said to ....swfr t -e end, of suncttnti tl justice. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that a number of wit- messes had been examined nn t e pert of the Peti tioner ; up - in tt e coodult and demeanour of a great mejority of them, he should at the present moment be silent ; but there was one, Christopher Richard son, who had exhibited a case of greaser pre v.tt,eation than he had ever in the whole course of his lift: either heard or read ot. He WAS ignorant of the nece tiy si• ps to be adopted on such • preceedin; ; but he felt that the House would not consult Its own drmity, or further the ends ot justice, unless such pevarication was closely fol lowed or ; at lea,r, care shoal 4 he taken that the Witnes% aliould ont, by flignt a defeat the punish. strut which wa due to such eriminalty. and *hid', consirectly its own charaelcr, toe House was bound to toffiEl T.lO SPEAKER informed the !louse, that there were bet twri metlir,Js for its adoption, either on the convielma which the House then entertained, to commit the Witness to custody ; or to suffer him to rentaut at large, until the House st.ould again think lit to take rye matter into consideration. Mr. WHITBItLAD wit•ositted to the opinion of the House. that n-ts principal anxiety was that the witness 2V in th , tes •- time be enabled toescape. Sir JOHN ANs kU I Hls it thi,ught his Right Hon. Friend (Mr Whitbread) limited the case too tout' . In his opiniiin, a ease of grosser prevarica tion oevar was &set , sed within a Cart of Jus t:cr. It was a most uirninai sort of conspiracy. When a ciimplitrit ut subornaiiiin was made, he thouet the aivnt who suborned, equally deserving of punishment, and not only the agents but the Pr ionrr iintselt. It was due to the dignity of Par. liainent..in.l to the safety of its members, to hold up to punishment such offenders. A conversation arose relative to the time in which the Petition should be again taken into considera ti.m. Lord HOW ICK thought Thursday next sv Ad fully afford epportunity vs the House and the P:titioner to resume it. Mr. PERCEVAL and Mr. ADAM were for delaying. until the minutes of the evidence were primed. In their opinions, it was just that the Pe titiuner should have the fullest opportunity et pre. Dating and discussing his ease, inasmuch as from the general inspretsion, the business was not likely iti its present sh.ipe, but a case of conspiracy may be discussed. and a rev a measure of justice dealt out to the Petitioeto. kn. shculd, therefore, be inclined to vote for an extension of time. Mr. SHERIDAN wished to rive every facility to the Petitioner. His honour he felt certain was pale in the custody of the House; but, at the same rime. it was to be recolketed, that the character of some respettable friends, not Members of the House, were also implicate.: in the issue of this investigation. He was. of course, naturally anxious to relieve them. by the best possible cl.-fonce. namely, eon irMEng the Petitioner of doing that with which lee was an unfoundedly cl.alged by him. The Minutes might be printed alter the consideration of Monday. as it was equally the with of himself as of , his Right Hon. Friend, that as much publi city as risnibir should be given to the transaition. After 3 few words m're from Messrs. i BREAD. FLRCIZV AL, and ADAM, Counsel were ordered to attend at the Bar, and were in forocia by the SPE.AIa:!I. that it was the inten tion if the in go further into the consider ation Va Petition, vn Thursday twit.
