I : shell not go into statements regarding, the cithspiracy, bat, .at preseet, crin ge. toy *hole ettention to e this question only.-- The charge At present made it two-fold:-1. That the lA. Of f icers of the Crown have tampered with a witness-2. That, knowing there was s question, he must answer in the negative before he could be ezamined, and that if he did answer, so he would be guilty of perjury, they yet brought him forward. I say to the learned Lord and his coadjutors, that a record of this nature should not remain incentra. dieted in this House. This record. contains the dor position on oath of a credible witness. This maims stated facts, and circumstances, which could not hum escaped the mind of any man connected with eh, transaction. He has given the names of parties who may deny hit statement, if it be false. Aud.l ask of my Learned Friend, the Attorney-General. whether, in his experience, he has ever wet a case where perjery might an clearly be established, as in the present; if what Campbell has advanced be en foondtd.?—(lfear,. hear !)- 7 -Moothe and months have elapsed since this emu's trial, and circumstances have been dischsied, which, until this period, I thought oo horouiabia man would have suffered to remain a single hoar without contradiction.—(llear, hear !) —The Learned Lord, who may be termed Oa Grand Jury of Scotland, might. have promoted this lath. 'ideal and the teamed Lord could not possibly have felt greater pleasure than I would feel, Whet bad prosecuted this man to conviction, and this rescued his own character, sod the characterof the profession, to which I have the honour of belonging, from the stigma which this business attached to them. —(Hear, hear !)--I fear I espress myself siith too much warmth on this occasion. But let it not, for a moment, be supposed, that I feel any thing like personal spleen towards the Learned Lord, and theother unfortunate Gentlemen who are implicated, in this proceeding.—[ fiver, hear ice ques tion in which the welfare of the country is involved, - and therefore it eight to be brought forward."-a-Tho Learned Gentleman then staled the facts of the case from a copy of the record, or notes which have been published, of all the proceedings that took place with respect to Camphell—to !betroth of which he (Camps bell) had sworn, and proceeded thes:— . " What my Noble Friend says, is this—Produce the re cord. Let the parties accused be beard. If they have evidence to show that they have been ea justly attacked, give them every file opportenisfy Id bring it forward. Bet, as it is a case ae which they ought to .be pot on , their: terence, vers must take this *rnan's deposition to be tt u-, *wit h is proved to be false. When Campbell was first taken up by the Sheriff of Laoarkshire he said, he did not know for what he was apprehended. The Sheriff in sisted that he did, and told him the best thing he could do was to confess alt he knew—for there were six persons' reiJy to swear against him. ' JUIIII,P said he, if you proceed In this way, and deny *bat you know, you will do yourself much harms—bet, if you act in a different mautier, you will do your self much good.'—[(leur, hear!]—Campbell an swered that he tticl• not see much harm in the one course, nor much good in the other, and he, there- fore, declined. Mr. Drummond, the Advocate-Do pute, now came into the room, and staled that the Procerator-Fiscal had commissioned hint to de- dare, that he would confer on the Deponent any obligation he chore, provided he would become a ' witness. This Campbell positively swears to be true. Soon afterwards the Procaretor-Fiscal him- self came into the room. Now, I conceive, that this statement is enough to gall on Mr. Drummond to prove whether the Procurator-Fiscal had or had test given him each directions. in a few days afterward the witness wee removed to Edinborgh.— While he was confined in the Castle of Edinburgh, Drommciud came and informed him that an indictment bed' been found against bl'liinley—and thaX his (the witness's) name was amongst the list 0+ persons who were to give evidence, and now was the time to determine whether he would he a witness or, not.— ( Bev,. hear!)—[s this, I ask, a question as to what infermation he could give?—is this a goes tion as to what he meant to do ?-:-Mr. Drummond, without hfs consent, puts , him into the list of wits neues, aid tells hies his name is there. Yes are,' said he, to he examined as a witness—stooge. , to be placed in the brat- 7 -and now is your time'—to do what ? To say . whether or no you will come for ward as a witness, - Campbell said he did not wish to be a witnesk—aed, if he were, he knew tie cook not go back to Glasgow—for he would not be suffered. to live there, Drummond said, that was sure—heat t he might live in any other manefacturing place.-es, 'He afterwards observed, that he had thought 14 a plan that would answer perfectly well, Hie s would write to, Lord. Sidinouth to get him., she' (nation in the &cite. He would de so ionast. diately, if he pleased. This, it is to be observed, was done when Campbell's name was placed os the list of witnesses. He must be a witness--ba cannot avoid being placed is the box—bet, as it ' was impossible to know whit he would say, when! he was placed there, these tempting offers were made: to him to induce him to state circumstances that' would be pleasing to the Law Officers of the Crown.:l Campbell, however, refused the situation. He said M I Lad been a peace•ollicer before; it was a troublesowla situation, and he bad lost by it. But still this pro. lectiun he swore was offered to him—but his object was to go abroad. At this conversation, MOW , mond, and no other person, save the witnesses, wee present—and he stated, that Drummond had entail been with him in the Castle. Under these circum-1 stance., no third person being by, we must be con.i teat with Campbell's evidence on this point. Drum mond afterwards asked, 6 Whet then, do you de-, wand ? what will you have ?' Now, if all this werea fabrication, it is to be presumed that Campbell would let it drop as soon as possible—but be again alludes, to this very circumstance of writing to Lord Sidatooth N ._ ,b ; IL ,ot ••• 41 ,_! i t/ taken ti . iell a o l l 7 004 14 Ak i tlitt14" ; 4 1 44 0 144 . •ii1:1 Bet 414 nr SaitifitSsafaAr rullukkont.. -.. .!, A i Mr I.
