CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. The Earl of Do NO UGIIISIOIIII said, that his Roman Catholic countryniew hail placed several Pennons in his hands, which it was his duty then to pretend to the House. The grievance of which the Peti tioners complained nos one of no COMmon magni tude and extent—the exclusiosi of four-titths of the people from constitutional for no at [edged civil demerit on their Part, but for shear conscientious adherence to their religious That - was Slot the first time that Ica Catholic countrymen had made their humble solicitations to that House Butt hecircumstances of the present mo asent were such asjustly tocreate favourable a iitici pa bons in their mind ; they approached an unplcdged Parliament, and a King upon site throne, in whose mind there was at least iii reason to anticipate the existence of those consciesitinus scruple., «loch, un happily fur the question, and fur his Catholic coun trymen, said the Noble Earl, hail engaged the late venerated Monarch in perpetual hostility to a, y further relaxation of the code of proscription—nod which, perils a, lisd rendered it impossible fur bis present Majesty, whilst be acted for an other, so directly to corinteruct the known opi nions of that illustrious person. It had been at all times the practice that this question should be brought forwyd, as nearly as possible pari paua iu both the 64 Isoaretee, 'the precedence always • 4ibi l l g3ter Howe, becaust there one step had once been gained. Knowing as he did the anxiety of his Catholic countrymen fur an early (Its , ussion, his own wish would have been to have brought the question forward at the earliest possible period of the Session ; but room the reeling already mentioned, the Noble Earl waited till the notice had been given in the other House ; awl he had thought it his duty now to lose no time to request their Lordship. to name a day for the discussion of the question in their House. He accordingly r. quested their Lordships to per mit him to 'lame Thursday, the Bth day of March, which day lie found would be generally convenient to the friends of the measure—and fur Thursday the Bth day of March he accordingly moved that the House should he summoned. The Noble Earl thought it his duty to apprise the House that these several Petitions had been prepared with a view to their being discussed during the last Session 'of Parliament ; but the their Lordships had been so entirely engrossed by the important and interesting investigation which was then pending, that the Noble Lord said he did not conceive that that would have been a proper opportunity of obtaining the favourable at trillion of the Howe to the case of his Roman Catholic countrymen. The Noble Earl then presented Petitions from the Roman Catholic in habitants of the Parishes of St. Mary, St. Thoinier, and St. George, in the City of Dublin—from the Roma.* Catholic Inhiliitunts of the Parishes of Si. Andrew, Sr. Mark, St. Anti, and Sr. Peter's, in the City of Dublin—from the Roman Catbulie !w -het :items of the Co y and City of NVaterfertl— and the general Petition of all the Roman Catholics of Ireland—all which several Petitions the Noble Earl calmed to be read throughout at the table.

DENMAN a..id, he held in hot braid film to %Inch he wished to cull the Geri attention of the Houst, as it seemed to bun to deinattd that attention in a particular manner.- It related io that must important subject, the admilliatristion of jus tice. It was the Petition of a treisna named Davi soil, col - bled io Okelmat gaol, in the county of Rutland, in pursuance of the sentetice of the Court of King's Bench, fur libel, who conceived him self to have been illegally treated by Mr. Jun. time Best, before whom he was tried at Guildhall. Lie stated that in the course of his defence, in his trial ut Guildhall, on r charge of libel, he was fined three times by the Judge for expressions which he used in the course of his defence. The first fine was for this ex 00, .‘ there was 110 Cc:mo rel to be found at the bar who would undertake ass honest defence in such a case us his." He (Me. Walton') was not present at the trial, but he be lieved it was for a blasphemous libel. Two other hues were also imposed on him by the Judge in the course of his defence for other expressions. fie ( %Ir. Denman) thought this case the inure deserving of at tention, as this appenred to be the first instance, at least he had heard of no oilier, of the exercise of such a power by a Judge, as that of fining a defendant for expremicom used by him in his defence. The Petitioner entered into a legal argument upon the case, and cited several instances of expres sions of the strongest kind hosing been used by defendants, which were not visited by ally punish ment at all. Sir Walter Raleigh, iii the course of his defence, Made use of many expressiotts which he was told by the Court were treasonable, but no fine was imposed on him, nor any attempt made to punish hum on that account. Pryone and others were proceeded against in the Court of Star Chamber, where all the proceedings were oo paper; they put its au answer in which HOUSE OF COMNIONS, FRIDAY, Franumtv 23. - The House met at three o'clock, and the Stealer compauted by the Members who were present, proceeded to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Com mimiuu to sundry Billa—for which sea oar Lards itcport.) Mr. Mason, from the East India House, presented certain Papers, pursuant to a■ Order of t►e House, which were ordered to be printed. Mr. Mayor, from the British Museum. presented cestain Returns, agreeably to au Order of the House, which were ordered to he printed. Mr. CORTE'S presented Petitions from the Landholders of several perishes in the Couuty of Sussex, complaining of the agricultural distresses. TIMBER TRADE. Mr. BRAN DUNG presented a Petition against any alte ration in the dirties on Timber. Mr. MICHAEL A. TAYLOR expressed his determina tion to oppose soy alteration in the present system. The Petition was ordered to be referred to the Cm . =Mee ea Foreign Trade. they did out defend theoretic" from the change, but threw out strong imputations impolite the Arch bishop of Canterbury and other !sermons of rauk. The Archbishop imbed this borne procredurg should be adopted by the Court to punish them hut the lauguage of that answer but the Court, at though the one was committed as one of a setae delous nature, and was still more aggravated fry such an answer, did tiro think proper to inflict any punislitii.nt ;WM/al sender accusation fur any expiesseirrs tory Millie use of in their defeece. Ltlburie in the time of Charles 11., a:rors Emile use ua his defence of messy expression" often viva to those before whom he was tried, but yet woe not. visited with any punishment. The Petitioner did out cite any other cases, but many whistler owes had occurred. The Learned Gentleman then mentioned Lord Cohlsatn's case, and that of the Counsel fur Williams, tried before Lord kenyou, for pablisheng Paine'es Age of Wargo. •Fious all tease carter, he 'llwasight the lair interred era:, that beretofJee each !lower was see supposed to exist. He ad mitted ii its rudest extent the necessity of Courts of Jueice bring vested with r summers power tai punish for contempt which ilitelferea with their per:et:Pilings ; but to carry it be pool the reps seem of obetructions to their proceed tugs, II! thouget it because ail abuse, mud particu linty sir whe i exereised agoest a defendant ertgag ed 111 Cmaltlyfing his case before a Jury. The Petitioner suer'', that the effect of the infliction of tho-e fines was to intinedste hen in such a manner as to pre-veto hum frosts pursuing his defence with that spirit and heftiness which lie should otherwise have dime. It was competent to •tiy person to conduct his own defence, if he preferred it to em ploy tog Coueeel. Mmy per had done so with complete succese and there were cases in which defendants were more likely to succeed by their own management of their defence than Counsel. But who could answer Ito the effect upon a person lii such a sitmoien, of such all exercise of power as that of pallialuag wills an arbitrary fine airy ex preseiiiii of his which the Judge might disapprove The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to sties", that by such uterus a defendant, who was after'ward's acquitted, might be visited with a punishineut greater titan could have been awarded him on a verdict of guilty, and would certainly expose him self to the dunce of a far heavier flee titan if he had suffered judgineet by defeult. Another objection to the prectice was, that it usust, iu a certain de gree, comtuit the Judge with the 'tarty he was try ing, so as to • nderger at least hid impartiality in deciding upon the case, or in summing it up and dueetiog the Jury. In (lit case, after the trial was over, the Judge informed the Defendant, that as tee ituposttiou of the tines hied lied some effect in iestreining him within the propel' Inuits of his de fence, he woutil 1.01 enforce the pep - tient of them. determination of the Judge removed the legal quesii in, for he did nut - know how the Court could have enforced the lees as fur • contempt; for altheugh the expression used was, in his opi nion, a most injurious tmarepresentaiion of the inernbets of the bar, yet he was at loss to too ceive how it could be consul-err] into a contempt of' the Court.—(Herr, hear, hear.)—lf he found soy disposition in the House to enter into the cave. he should move to refer the Petition to a Com mitter; for upon a prima facie view of it, he thought there was sufficient to iuduce thew to go into the inquiry ; and it might afterwards be found proper to recoil:tend an Address to the Crown to mitigate the punishment of the Petitioner. He was not in general disposed to eticourage such in terference with the judgments of the Courts below. He would have opposed it iu the case of a Ba ronet, who was formerly a Member of that House ; he would have opposed it also its the ease of a Noble Lord, who formerly sat in that Howie, because he could not think it should be left to the decision of the suajorities of that House to inter pose against the sentences duly given in Courts of Justice. But its the case of a defendant, who c 'plains that by an extraordinary stretch of the summary power of the Court he has been injured in his defence, he thought it not unlikely that something might be found upon inquiry to warrant such a recommendistior. He regretted one expression in the Petition, whist implied that the Learned Judge had gained hi* end, that end being improperly supposed by the Petitioner to have been the prevention of a full and fair defence. At all events, he considered that the practice of Courts of Justice, iti relation to offences of contempt against their authority, could never be fairly held to apply to defendants in the act of making their defence, as such persons could scarcely be considered as in a situation to enable them to spew contempt. He trusted that there would be no objection to receiving the Petition, and therefore moved that it be brought up. Mr. HOBHOUSC, it; seconding the motion, apo logised to the !louse fur detaitiing it • few minutes elide lie stated his rediiolls for so doing ; he also begged pardon of the legal Gentlemen preseet for adopting that line of argument which more p perly belonged to them. He had applied that smell portion of time to reading on thesubject winch lie could afford from has other pursuit', mud he must ray that his information had led him to no case at all beuring on the question, or which would serve to warrant the course hiker) by the Learned Judge on the trial of the Petitioner. He quoted Ana the general maxim of Loud Coke, that as usage implied a good intendment of law, a mon usage, where there was no example, should be con strued in the same manner as expressed objec tions. lie read the construction which Vsner put upon the queetiou of contempt, who It witted the application of punishments to enters of obstruction of process on very gross and direct interruptions of proceedings in the Courts. Lord Holt lied given them a wider application; but *bees this was only given as the dictum of a Judge, and the difference between such dictum rod I:deci sion upon • judicial question regularly discus-eel before the Conn, was ars)l kuowu to professicuAl Aland. . .
