In 1717, George Fairiie and several others were indicted far like offences, under the:nalne statute, and underwent similar sentences. And on the stOili January, 1718, , several other persons met with a similar fate.— . Since that time the church of Scotland had uni formly complied with the Orders in Council, direct , ing the alteration to be made in the prayers fur . the Royal Family in the same way as in England. •• . Whatever might be the opinion of the House upon . those decisions, whether they were right or armor, they were the decisions of the Supreme Courts of ' Scotland ; and he thought it could not be doubted ' that,. if the Judges hail thought they could pos- ' aiely, consistently with their consciences, come to any other conclusion as to the application of the statute of Anne, they would have acquitted the pp rsons to whose rages he had referred. He had lafo:e mentioned an alteration which was made in the time of Qinam Anne; from that period down to the present time, with only two exceptions, whenever any alteration was made in the Liturgy sir England, by an Order of the King in Council a like Order had been sent doWn to Scotland, di-' roc:ted to the Moderator and the General Assembly; and such acts on the part of Government had never been questioned until the present day. Ile was quite .surt., Arrefore, and he hoped the Home would ° go.altilig with him in the feeling, that is sending rfriin the Order in the present_instance, an intention tied for a moment been entnrimined of •ceinrnitting the slightest infringement on the fiber- . ties of the church of Scotland, but that it was merely done beaeuse it hail been the uniform prim lice before. "The Noble Lord had argued that the • Order was illetil; inasmuch as it directed the pray ing '1 in etwesis words;" but by that was meant n:ily tIM expn;siltlentiou of the King's name, with-' "nut refereticeto any form. so that if the 11l i l iistef Intl* said,." God bless King George the Fourth," .-: . that was quite:enciugh to pupil the Order. That su c h I wait the paturtd construction of it was evident from "0!, that the Act of Anne raid they should pray " - iwila,nitpress Word; fur her Must Sacred Mikity Qietitt'Anne," • Bic. Now he would appeal to the "119ble Lod himself, or to any Gentlem a n at all uc , siosinted Pith the practice of the Clinic:ltof Sent- So, : ...,...... roost expressly r. memi the Church of Scotlan d, that any introduction of the name of the Queen, contrary to the Order in Council, arising out of political feelings, would be ▪ most reprehensible act. The minister certainly had a right•to pray by mime for whomsoever he pleased—fur the whole of the Royal Family, for the whole of the Presbytery, fur the whole of his congregation, if he pleased ; hut to in troduce any one particular name from political motives, or to gratify any political feeling, lie would say was a gross Auer, a most unworthy and indecent exercise of that right. But if any Minister presumed to refuse to pray for King George IV. conformably to the Order, he would subject himself to the penalty of the Act of Anne; end if he knew diet any clergyman so refused, lie should feel it his duty, as the public prosecu tor of Scotland, to indict him, and lie lied no doubt that any jury of Scotchmen would convict bins under the Act of Anne. He con tended that the issuing of the Order having been founded on the decisions of the Courts of Scotland respecting the Act of Anne, and on the uniform course of precedents from 1711 down to the present time, there was no pretehee for guess tioilisig the propriety of that o..iler. With respect to the complaint made by the Noble Lord of the act of the Kirk Session, he did i.ot mean to defend for he conceived it to be unwise, foolish, and illegal ; but the Presbyter', who were a higher aqtliority, not only ordered it to be erased from their ,be borill i but cited the individuals concerned hilt them. The individuals appeared to'alidisibil, l tud the Presbytery being satisfied with their ickaoig. ledgment, dropped all further proceedings. He cattle now to the other case, which, although the person implicated was in some degree coil nected with the former case,' A•irlit , :altoget her distinct from and disconnected it. They happened in different place*, tot • different time, and bad un relation whatever to each other. lie concurred in every sentiment of approbation that had been paid to the Rev. Gentleman by the Noble Lord; he knew he was possessed of the soundest principles of loyalty and attachment to the Constitntion, and he regretted that lie refused to give nu answer to the question proposed to him. -That gentleman for a considerable time threatened to bring the matter before the Courts, but subse quently referred it to the opinion of the humble individual who then addressed them, Ile (the Lord Advocate) thought, that in a matter of political importance, he was one of the last turn that should In upplied to; but that Gentleman perse vered, and at length lie consented, and gave an • award, which award was not yet made public. Sir J. MACKINTOSH, in rising to make a few ob servations on the able and candid speech of the i)Lord Advocate, felt considerably releved by the Veer and perspicuous speech of the Noble Mover, 'in well as by the speech of such promise. he would 'Aidd, such talent as had been delivered by the Noble Lord who seconded it, whose name, and the Warne of whose ancestors had been connected with every thing deft' teitise'liberties of their country— and as a Scotehlisan, he felt proud at seeing the descendants of two of the most illustrious families in Scotland stand forward on that occasion, to defend the independence of the Church of their Country. In considering this subject, lie was naturally led back to the Revolution, and one of the first Acts at that period, was to give to Scot land that religion that was most conformable and congenial to the feelings of the people. Ile meant no disrespect to the Churches, but mentioned this to shew, that there the interests of the people were not viewed with indifference. For they considered that the worst restraints that could be imposed on any men, were restrictions on religion. ProceAl ing on this principle, they established, or rather restored the Presbyterian faith ; and one of the essential articles of that faith, was, that the Church acknowledges no head upon earth. He would not now stop to inquire into the advantages or disarl 'vantages of this doctrine; nor would he say, whe ther this doctrine was of a sufficiently pliant na ture for an established Church. However, as the rloble Lord stated, this was confirmed at the Union ; and every successive Sovereign who sat upon ,the throne was sworu to preserve the religion of the Church of Scotland ; and if any thing could be considered a fundamental law, it was this independ ence of the Church of Scotland, a principle rati fied by the Union, and sanctioned by every Sove reign when he ascends the throne. He way of opi nion that every statute that related to the subject should be examined according to the strictest and most rigid rules of construction ; and its pursuance of that principle the Learned Lord would excuse him, having been bred in the Episcopal Church, for saying, that there was something in that statute which seemed to escape his attention. The Learned Lord slated, that that statute ordered that prayers should be offered up fur the (linen and the Princess Sophie, while living, and asks why the phrase " while living" should not apply to the Queen as well as to the Mimes,. Iu his opinion it• did, and it would be held in any Court in Scothoid that these- provisions were temporary. But the Learned Lord had adduced precedents in sup , port , of his arguments, and it was worth coil sideritig from what period these precedents were drawn. Between the period of two rebellions, Ibr scarce had the ashes of one liven cooled when the flames of another had been kindled into a blaze, and during this agitated period of heat and con fusion certain convictions took place, from whence Abe Learned Lord adduces his precedents— (Hens) if a time wheu men were brought up to trial by scores, with sit eagerness and zeal on the part of Magistrates which certainly influenced their ex ertions to support the Protestant Succeasion, pa ltrier rant without occasional deviations from the principles of justice,; and he certainly could not think that a period of civil war, rebellion, and 1 bled, was that from which be should like to cording pray for name, , •Ilhe _ letter, yet according to the spirit and analogy, and the propriety of the statute. But the Learned Lord had waived that part of the subject, with a degree of dexterity, which, from his usual candour, is easily free through. It was not, as he stated, the injoriction that bad been issued, but the inter ference of the Order of Council to effect the um's. sion of the Queen's name, that he complained of, fur according to the 10th of Anne, there was no autho rity to do so. The Learned Lord himself admitted, that it was en act of the roost egregious folly to I cite the 32d of George lIL iii support of the mea sure. It was a most unjust interference with the Presbyterian clergy of Scotland. That assertion would not be denied by the most lame and bi gotted follower of Joplin Knox. But the Learned Lord went a step further, and schnitted what was the fact, that although the clergy could be com pelled not to pray for the Queen here, yet in Scot land they could not be prevented from praying for the Queen if by name, so that, in fact, it all cams to this, that Ministers assembled together and advised their Sovereign to expose his authority, tied issue an order to Scotland to be insulted and despited.—(Heer, hear.)—But the Learned Lord asks, are not Ministers perfectly justifiable ? He admitted that if this were a criminal proceed mg that the arguments urged might be a, sufficient inducement to stay the proceedings, and if they admitted that this Order of Council was so much waste paper, and an ill-advised measure, then he would say it was sufficient to secure the iiidependence of the Church of Scotland.— But the Learned Lord was pleased to say that lie considered this Act as a legal extension of power. Nuw this matter was brought before the General Assembly of Scotland; were they ignorant men? No. And how did they act ? They admitted and exerted the Order in the way it was meant, and vindicated it in another. Many human words and ' many human actions are exercised in one sense, and vindicated in another; and the Learned Lord has shewn the manner to vindicate the act, arid these gentlesnen how it should be exercised.—(Heur.)— And he thought hint even in that chosen spot (Scotland) some Reverend Gentleineu might be found who would attach as much importance to the favour as to the law of the Learned Lord. That Gentleman had stated, that the Rev. Gentleman who had been aggrieved had referred the matter to him, and lie was quite sure that when that award was wade public, it would be founded in law amid justice': and if he (Sir James) had ■ dispute to morrow, be knew too man to whom he would so soon Met it as to that Learned Lord, no lustier how much he might differ from him in political sentiments.—(Hear. hear.)--He concluded by stating, that on all the grounds he had mentioned, he considered the motion of his Noble Friend per fectably justifiable.--/ Hear, hear.) Lord CASTLEREAGH would not waste the time of the House, by adverting to any of the topics that had been introduced in such a clear and in telligent manner by the Learned Lord Advocate— and lie could assure the Noble Lord opposite that be had iso feeling of disrespect in any observation that might have fallen from lien, with respect to his inotiou. That Noble Lord haul intro duced two cases of individual grievance ou which he founded' his motion, and lie thought that not only that Noble Lord, but those Gen tlemen who surrounded !tim might take a good lesson to-night and not be bringing every little cause from the Courts of Justice, and occupying the valuable time of that House, which could be so much more profitably employed. And he could not conceive that the object of this motion was to obtain individual justice, but to excite discon tent mid a spirit of complaint in the public mind. And what do we find the result of this motion? Two cases of individual grievance, and both settled in the best manner, to the satisfaction of the par ties ; and he would beg leave to tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite (Sir J. Nlackintosh), tfrat was PO . ICIIIOIIB lest the liberties of the Church of Scotland should be in danger, that to pursue such a course was any thing but calculated to tranquillise the country, and he really thought that his great talents might be much more profitably employed. With respect to the law of the case, it had been laid down in so clear and so distinct a manlier, that it was quite usineressary fur him to dwell on it ; he ceriaiiily never heard a more clear or able legal argument. However, lie wished to call the attention of the House to what bole int 'pediatric an the case—lie meant the 32.1 of George 111. That was a statute framed for the regulation of the Episcopalian Church in Scot land, in which it was stated, that the King should be prayed for by name, and the remainder of the Royal Family subject to any alterations that might be made by lawful authority. He would not detain the House longer ; he wits sure the Noble Lord would see, that after the statements of the Lord Adiocate, his ease could not be supported. Mr. J. P. GRANT observed, that as far as he was able to judge, the issuing of that document was illegal, and he would produce the testimony or it subsequent Act of Parliament to put a legislative construction on the statute of Anne; for lie could not look for precedents founded on the decisions of cases between the King and subject at the time of u raging rebellion, which shook the Government to its foundation. The statute to which he ',Boded was the 3th Geo. I. passed in the year 1719. He was aware that a legal argument must be distasteful to the House, but lie could tint - puss this over. The Hon. Member then mud an extract from the Act. He was not disposed to bring every little case of individual grieviusee before the House, and if this were a case of that description, he oilfield ' rest satisfied by putting it in the hands of the Learned Lord opposite ; but he must look at it 'as a case of national interest. If it were nugatory • it was disgraceful; and if not, it must be considered • the independence of the Church at appeared to him that Ministers first, and then consulted the law ; id. taken the opinion of the LeAvned ,- he was sure they ntrer would have a measure that was not called for by any necessity ; he could not view it in any light but wanton display of an impotent attack on the Rent-, hear.) -- ,LL felt persuaded that it was done prejudge the Queen ; he deprecated every of this kind, which only tended to bring tempt the Royal authority.—(Hear, hear.)-1-le would not detain the [Luse at this period with any further observations. Lord Carr:Amine and Mr. Maxwat.t. ex plained. Lord ARCHIBALD FIAMILTOW, in reply, said, he was perfectly satisfied with the state of the quest►on, us it had been argued. The Noble l.ord (Castlereagh) had admitted, that the Order in Council was nugatory ; then if the Act of• Queen Anne was sufficient for the purpose, why issue the Order in Council ? If it went to Scotland that this Order was correct, and the Privy Council had the right to issue any Order they pleased for the direction of the Church, it would have a lamentable effect. If there ever was a man who tried to throw a 'stigma on royalty, and to divide royalty amongst itself, it was the Noble Lord—f lieur)—for he attempted to poi son the laws, for after acquittal he treated the case us if conviction had taken place.—(Hear.)— The mere que►tion was, whether the Noble Lord ■nd his colleignes had the ruihr to issue the Order, so as to affect the Church. of Scotland? Tbr•y sad• the Order is nugatory ; but the question ir , whether they had a right to issue it ? He brought forward his motion for no oilier purpose than to establish the rights of the Church of Scotland, and to show thut they could not be invaded with impunity. Lord Carrt.eaxaon. in expiation . suit!, what lie ineis4 was, that the bringiog of this grievance night after night before the Howe hail the effect of inflaming the public mind. There could be no doubt that ilw proceedings which murk ..lace is. the other House of Parliament was a teehnicil ac quittal. It Sir J. MACKIIVTOBH said, the Act of the sth of George I. made it imperative on the Church of Scotland to pray fur the King. The House then divided, when there appeared— ' For the %mien 35 Agaiort it... Majoriar... i 4ip COURTS OF LAW (IRELAND). On nor re-adinissiou to the gallery we found Mr. C. GRANT moving for leave to bring m Bill for regulating the Civil ride of the Couits of King's Bench and Common Pleas (Ireland) ; and also for regulating the Plots or common side of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that the intention of the Rill was, that the officers of the Court should be paid salaries instead of fees, as the present sv,itein of their being paid fees was injurious to the suitors. It was also dextrous ulna an alteration should take place as to the manner costs were taxeti; they were now taxed by persons who might tie suppo•eil to be benefited, us they were paid by fees. The Bill provided that there should be two new officers ap pointed, with. salaries, whose whole business would be to attend to the taxation of costs. Sir J. NEWPORT said lie highly approved of the measure, and hoped it would be extruded to the Courts of Equity. -Mr. Hi G. BENNETT said, ton much praise could not be given to his Right Hon. Friend who bad just sat down, as it MoIS through his exeriimis• and perieveratiCe that the subject was brought before the Home. Mr. It. MARTIN wished the taxiiion of coo. in the Courts to Ireland to be assimilated to those in this country. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Nlr. CHARLES GRANT then moved— " That the Howie should resolve itself into a Committee to-morrow, to consider what salaries ought to be allowed to the officers of liar Courts in lieu of fees, to be ptid oat of the Consolidated Fund "—Agreed to. COURTS OF LAW (ENGLAND.) Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved— " Titer there should be laid before the HMIS, the date of the appointment of the Commissioners to impure IWO the abases of the Courts of Lmr is Eng Lola, and ohm the names of the Cmonsimiosseta, and the bums pid to them more theirappoisitnient "—Ordered. Lord FOLKESTONE moved for an account of all salaries of persons employed by Government shove 150/. per annuw, which had been advanced since the year 1793. Mr. GOULKURN wished the Noble Lord would withdraw his notice, and give notice fur it to. morrow ; he was not ,wore there would be any ob jection to tt, hut at present he did not know at what office it could be obiained. Mr. WM. SMITH did nut consider it a motion that req u ired notice. Lord FoutEsTonE withrew Isis motion, and gave notice of it for tu-morrow. On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE or SCOT LAND, the House resolved itself into II CO 11111 l liter fir grantiag counitesictlion to the Clerks of the Court of Admiralty of Scotland. Mr. CREIVEY objected to any compensation be ing granted, fur lie knew of no Court of Admirably in Scotland, and. of course, he could know of its clerks. They sat there to retrench, not to erunt compensation. He, for one, would not grant n single farthing, for lie knew there were Scotch jobs as well as English jobs; if they were to go on at that rate, the people of England would think they only met for the purpose of granting money. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND said, It was advised by the C mirsioners who were appointed by the . vote of that House ; they disapproved of the manlier the clerks were paid, which was according to the quantity of copy they produced, which was injurious to the suitor. Mr. Ww. SMITH said, that he thought this ques ; lion went to a greater eatent than the motion of his Noble Friend which be had withdrawn, and the House ought not to be taken by surprise. Mr. liaionT was of opinion that many of the intended retOrms in the Courts of Law were de feated by the expense attending them.
