Sr. real private b Ile ewe hrunglit up from the House of CUltllll/1116, *lock vele lebd spun the laid% end eeventily teed a hest time MARRIAGE INDEMNITY BILL. Upon the motion of the Bishop of lama, for the second reading of this bill. The Loan CHA NCEL Loa stated the clanger of so frequently introducing into that "Uwe bills of this description ; such a mode of proceeding had a tendency to set aside the Act of Parliament relating to marriages and be certainly should not for the future sanction any bill of a similar description, but would wish the !louse to consider that it was the last which should pass without his opposition. The Earl of LAUDIMIALB th b o2traper to make one observation upon what axpeass ed by the Noble and Learned Lord. that he could not approve of that assumption which the Noble and Lcarned Lord had attached to his own future conduct upon this measure—and be thought it would have been more consistent to have intimated his intention to repeal that statute altogether, if no ' remedial Measure were to be at au) time intro duced for the purpose of giving relief to many of the severe consequences resulting from that act of Parliament. Lord llos.L•an concurred in opioian with his Noble Friend (Lauder&le). and tatiusated, that the statute alluded to was so defective, that it led to all the COisfseqUenceil which rendered the passing of such Bills ties:essary. Lord Heist‘DALS spoke in praise of the statute relating to marriages. He said, that he had ex peritvaceal, in another country, the elects of MU riagrs being consummated iu a different insianer. and that any relaxation of this statute would lead to the confusion of society. Legitimacy was, or might be, of the same importance amongst the lower orders of inazakisid, as it was amongst the higher. Viewing that act as he did, the wisest pro vision being made in it Ihr preventiag all the evils arising from a doubtful state of legititancy, he could not help expressing his opinion, that those Noble Lords who had intimated a wish fur the re peal of & statute so essential to our welfare, were nut actuated by any love fur their country. Earl STAXII - OPE --j row, and spoke to order; he said the Noble and Learned Liird might. na7 Bad au undoubted right to entertais hit ova orkiof, ; _ they. feted from him in their sentiments, he had a• right, it ssiis, etuttrtuy to thi standing orders of that House, to impute to them bad motives. He as +urrd the Noble Lord f it was his personal respect which alone prevented him front moving that those orders be then read. Tire Earl of Latiniuteana could not permit to pew unnoticed the liberty the Noble and Learried Lord had takes' of imputing to him and him Noble mend bail motives, when they were performing their duty :us Peers of that House ; such language was not to be suffered. and- he deemed it ex- treinely unpurhausentary. Lurd ILLDESDA/.s observed, that he did not knowLewas out of order, but thought that the Noble Lords, in speaking of a Statute then in force as defective, and that it ought to be repeated, were speaking unparliamentary language, except they hall said so upon a motion made for the re peal of that Act of Parliament. After *time further observations by Lord Hot- LA YD unit Ltrd ELLetsawasenst, and a persona ruswaatiassmile ffilArintED Ks DALE, The Earl of LAUbLUDALE wade some strong eoinnieuts upou the disposition Si hewn by the Noble and Learned Lord, and compared it with an in stance of a similar nature upon a former occasion., The Bill was then read a second time. IN DICTMEhT BILL. Upon the motiuu for the second reading of this Earl 4TAwaure rose, and in a facetious speech. which produced much laughter, stated. that the Bill which *us now submitted to the consideration of that House, was one of the grimiest importance it was sue of the most mischievous tendency, and one of the most pernicious which ever mine front the House of Commons. Their Lordship's would not he able to perceive that be much was to be . - appreheuded,froin its title, which was an imperfect description of its nature, and therefore he must proemit to inform them of its contents. The pnrav ciple of this Bill went to destroy the trial by Jury. and to alter very materially some of the first prin ciples of our ancient, and, lie must say, excellent constitutions. It seemed most extraordinnaly, that ins au enlightened age, when so many great and en lighteued men sat in the other !!nose of Buhr meet, that time Representatives of the people, those guardians of their laws and their liberties, should permit a Bill of that description to be brought in, arid pass their House without observa tion. The fact was, that it did pass ; and 'Deny eminent men in that House had told him, they did • not know, nor were they in the least aware of its teadeney. It was not fur him to speak of the forms of the other House in debate ; but theit Lordships must know, that formed* it had been the ettetoto for Committals to be appointed Us dm commencement of the Seviiism, who afterwards at tended to every Bill brought into that noise. But the present measure had, he was led to believe, been smuggled through the House of Commons. apd he thought it the duty of their Lordships to attend to what bad been neglected by tbe Com :mons. He trusted their Lordships would deeply - interest themselves upon a subject in which was in volved the existence of our revered constitution, and that part of it which was the most valuable, the common law of England. When lie expressed his opinion upon this part of our constitution, he was supported by the authority of all the ablest and best lawyers this country had ever produced. There never was founded a more aise system of jurispriuleuct in any age, or in any part of the earth, than the common law, when well understood. It had been styled, by those great men who had written upon it, the very quintessence of wisdom, and as that Bill was its reverse, he must denomi nate it the quietessence of folly. Hie Lordship here adverted - to those parts of the Bill which were most objecuoniable. The Bill exibreasod, ' * That whenever any person' ahonld be charged with ally °deuce, for which he or she might be prosecuted lion indictment or inloi motion is His Majesty's smut of King's Bench, not being treason or Moire. and the sale should be mode appear, &c. that the Juitge 'night issue hi warrant, and the person be apprehended; and open his Whig brought before such Judge, or a Justice of time Peace, Ise might be hound with seveties is any sum mentioned in the warrant, to compel his appearance, and if he neglected to be hound, it then rendered him liable to he imprisoned till be was bound, or discharged by order sad any person so imprisoned, might be tried by copy of the indictment or informal being delivered to him or the gaoler, etc. by the prosecutor, with a notice, that if he did not appear within so many days, appearance and a plea of Mot guilty ' , mufti be entered for him, and he should be tried in his abseuer as if he was present." The Noble Earl implored their Lordships to pause before they mode so greet an alteration is the law of this country. It was against the &orient statutes of the realm, and contrary to the oath taken by Jurymen; and therefore if a man is his absence should ha tried by indictment. how could a Juryman be sworn in the nasal way'—'" you shall, will. and truly try, and a tine deliverance make, between our Sovereign Lord the King, and the prisamser at the bar." Here the Noble Earl was interrupted by Lord EttEssosouca ; wba observed. that the Bill did not comprehend offences of such a erimi nal nature as felony, but only misdemeanours,. a bere the actual pressmen of the dereadeot was or . STAN 11101P11 traded that the /Coble and Loomed Lord would use my that this bill did not gu to alter the mode of trial, which, in the most Th.. tient, as well as is toodero times, bsd been Vow• scribed by law. If that Noble and Learned Lod meant to say so, be must contradict bun ; and though be might pay little respect to his (the No ble Earl's) obvervetsons ; yet be most recollect be was ins the preouto of greater setherits (point. lag to a roastas at Norm Cartrts, sad Caber Sap ‘ . 7 1 ‘ . 1 : 1 n ]l ‘ 1 . 10/V , N, '7, - ; :l k' W .'
