Adjourned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Gallery was not open this day until an unusually late hour, in conseque ice of the ballot for Members to form the Committee of Secrecy. On our admission,' we found the House in a Committee on the West India Intercourse Bill. The New Malt Regulation Duty Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Fri:lay next. The Nloriatic Acid Bill was then committed, and ordered to be read a third time. Mr. D. GIDDY presented a Petition from certain II asiers at Nottingham, against the Frame-work Knitters' Bill, which was ordered to lie on the table. The Irish Treasury Bill then priced through a Committee. PALACE COURT. Mr. LOCKHART called_the attention of the House to certain proceedings which had lately taken place in the Palace Court. This Court, he observed, had beets established by two Acts of Parliament, one iu the reign of Charles I. and the second under that of Charles 11. Its jurisdiction extended to a circle of twelve miles round Whitehall, a space Including a population of one million of persons. All suits of property might be tried here, subject to the opera tion of the Act which directed all actions, where tite damages were estimated at above 51. to be removed to the Court of King's Bench. The Judges were five in number, the Lord Steward and the Lord Treasurer having, ex elide, a right to sit there. — They had no salary ; but the Knight Marshall, an other Judge, had a title to curtain fees, which were, ttowever, compounded for a sum of 5001. per annum. Mr. Burton Morris, the Steward of the Court-room, after his appointment to that situation, fitftling his emoluments to amount to between 3 and 4001. a year, consulted the Prothonotary upon the pro priety of increasing his own fees. That officer re plied, that it was impossible, and had been before attempted in vain. Mr. Morris, however, soon after issued a rule, raising the fees payable to all the officers of the Court, which he (Mr. Lockhart) con ceived to be not only illegals but utterly inconsistent with his judicial character, and unwarrantable upon every principle. lie had never, in taking this step, consulted the other Judges, but had called together the attorneys, and, by raising their fees, procured their consent and sanction of the measure. When the condition and circumstances of the suitors in this Court were considered,. the proceeding vilest neces sarily appear still less defensible. The Learned Gentleman went an to state misunderstandings be. tween the Steward and Prothonotary of the Court, in consequence of which, and of certain charges made against him, the Prothonotary had been sus pended from his office, as the Learned Gentleman contended, on the casting vote of Mr. Burton Morris, the Steward of the Court, himself ; the proceedings of the Court being also unusually precipitate. He concluded by moving, that a Committee be appoint ed to examine into the conduct of Burton Morris, Esq. the Steward, and one of the Judges of the Pa itice Court. '" Mr. C. ADAM seconded the motion, declaring .that, in his opinion, if there ever was a case which called for the interference of Parliament, this was the case. Sir C. BURRELL thought, when the superior Officers of a Court of Justice were so much at va riance as they seemed to have been in the present instance, it was the province of the House to inter fere. The Officers of the Palace Court had already been before the Privy Council. The SPEAKER here interposed, by informing the House, that there was a Messenger wish a Re port at the Bar, to receive which it was necessary that the present debate be interrupted. SECRET COMMITTEE. Mr. DENT accordingly appeared at the Bar with . a Report, which he was ordered to bring up, and which, on being read, appeared to be the Report of ; 6 -1 1 "o , JAN the Scrutineers appointed to examine upon what Members of the Ilouse, the nomination to be ut . Secret Committee had devolved. The Report was read, containing the folloaiu; names : Right 1100. Georg() Canning Lord IL L. Gower W. Wilberforce, Esq. Lord Milton Lord Castleimagh Hight Honourable C. Los t Honourable li. Lascelles Henry (luulborn, E.g. Honourable W. Lint e .1. Stu trt Wortley, E sq. The Mast. r of the Ito! s Lord Newark Samuel Whitbread, Esq. Honourable Paget U. Dnvenport, Lsq. Right Honourable (... Tie • 1 t J. Blackburn, Esq. sea. H. Liecester, Lsq. W. W. Bootle, Esq. T. Babbington, Esq. Right Honourable C. Yorke The names being read, Mr. WHITBREAD said, this List contained the identical names that he had seen handed about thin morning. The present was, therefore, neither ran ia nor less than the Treasury List, as all Committ,es ballotted for in this manner were uniformly fount. t o be. Lord CASTLEREAGH submitted, that no ob. jection could be mado to any of the names on th e list now read. It was then agreed that any ire of , the Committee should be a quoran, that the paper, presented by order of the Prince Regent should I referred to them, with power to examine the matt( therein contained, and to report to the House. Certain other Papers laid before the House • Lord Castlereagh, were also referred to the said C . . mittee ; and it was ordered that they should I iv, power to call for persons, papers, and records, u should have leave to sit notwithstanding any &diet.: went of the House. PALACE COMET. The Debate on this subject being renewed, Mr. RAINE strongly vindicated the conduct Mr. Burton Morris. Charges of a grave nal ought to betas gravely answered; and he denied charges as explicitly as they could be made. ' charges alluded to against Mr. Crutchley, the I thonotary of the Palace Court, had been prefer six months before Mr. Morris became the Judge that Court. if there was one man in the profess incapable of a mean or dishonourable thing, to idea, it was Mr. Burton Morris, ag ainst whom ; 1 4 present complaint wonld not have ben exhibited to. day, had he consented to the restoration of Mr. Crutchlcy to his situation—a thing which he coul3 not do, consistently with his duty to the public. Mr. LEICESTER. bore testimony to a similar et. feet, contending, that it was not fair to Mr. Morris 4hat such a question should be gone Into at this pe. riod of the session. Mr. ROCHDALE resisted the appointment of Committee, bearing his testimony to the honourf)le character of Mr. Morris. He thought that the mt. ter was rather unfairly brought forward at this late period of the session, when a full enquiry could sot be accomplished. If the Honourable Member wood withdraw his motion now, and propose it at a future period, he was certain that Mr. Morris would court enquiry. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having been a contemporary at the Bar with It'r. Morris, thought it his duty to express the high re. spect he entertained for his character. He was in favour of enqdlry, but not at this late period. Lord CASTLEREAGH had never heard of tr - case before, but was convinced that no parllamea tarn ground had-been laid for investigation. It s's the duty of the House to protect the Adminlstratiot4 of Justice, but it was not to interfere in triding cases, where -no corruption or malversation had been shewn. In his Lordship's opinion the whole cos originated in inadvertence. Mr. GREENHILL opposed the Motion, Ter shortly and warmly. Mr. HUME was in favour of the appointment a Committee. It was a charge of a most grave n.. cure, and unless enquiry were made, much inconl, nience. would be felt in the Palace Court, and Mr Morris might sutler, perhaps, unmerited odium. Mr. Rodidale Mr. Hume and Mr. Leicest , r severally vaptained. Mr. H. SMITH resisted enquiry on the grout! that :,o case had been laid, and the subject of cot plairt had been removed. Mr. LOCKHAR.T replied, contending that su ficient ground had been laid for the motion. I r was convinced that the misconduct of Mr. Morris d not originate in inadvertence but design. Lord CASTLEREAQII explained ; after whir. the question was put, and the motion was negation without a division. The Report of the Highway Bill was re-coosidere , and the fill ordered to be read a third time c, Thursday. The House then adjourned. The following is a fuller Report of the Debate c the Frame-work-knitters Bill, on Monday eveniai, than we gave yesterday : Mr. D. P. COKE having moved the Order of th Day for the second reading of the Frame-work-kni ters' Bill, he then rose and stateds that it woul be necessary to explain to the House the nature an. tendency of the Bill brought forward to regulate tI Frame-work-knitting Trade. It had been orig nally intended to bring in a Bill for the incorporatio of that trade, but owing to the late period of ti Session, it was thought more advisable to bring the present Bill, as an immediate check on the men • gross evils complained of ; but it was still thong! that it would be a necessary measure, to prevent a recurrence of the evils, that a Bill for that purposa should be introduced next Sessions. He could assur e the House, that the Report which the Committee ha I presented was unanimous, and contained the indivi dual opinion of every Gentleman who composed it• The 13il1 was framed on that Report, which con tained only a few clauses, which he would divida under four heads.
