GRAMPOUND DRIPRANCHIREMENT BILL. The Earl of C•aitAiltlloll said, if lie did not un derstand that thelosit id lite the Bill was liable I. .be ohjewlsoll-to, he ibot have troubled their Lordships with any ob....creations in its present stage. The objection. he understood was, that it went to take the elective franchise from Compound to give it to another place, but if it was reiniived, Corn wall would be left with five other homughs, and at the seine time Giampound would be left in posses sion of In r Mayor and Ciirporattom He contendtd it was not a Bill, as it had been designated, of pains and penalties, but a measure of partial re- form, called for by the abuse of the elective fran. chise ; it was also • measure for the advise Imo- of the public, as our-lua of the electors of Grans pound had been tried and convicted of having re. ceived bribes for their elective rights, mid the greater number of them had suffered the punish-* meta of the law for the offence. It could not be then called • Bill of pains and penalties; if it was called a Bill to prevent pains and primitive, the title would be more correct. Their Lordships had been obliged to pass a Bill of Indemnity to enable those persons who complatowil that they would be injured by the present Bull to tell the truth at their Lordships' bas. They asked to be heard by Coun sel in a case where there was no conflicting Coun sel, which in his opinion ought not to be allowed, but if it was, he considered t h at it would be better, after the witnesses were examined by their Lord. ships, that Counsel should he asked if they wished to put other qttesti to them. He hail sits übjec. tints to the Counsel being present during the moos initiation of the witnesses by their Lordship, boot he would not give them the indulgence of ob jecting to the questions that might be put by their Lordships to the svisnems, as had beets done to the late important C,ISS which had occupied so notch of their Lordships' attention. The Noble Earl min. eluded by moving. that doe Order of the Day fur the second reading of the Bill should be read. l• Lord ASHBURTON said, the Bill wrist to exclude the elective frencluse from Compound, which had been 'omelet's+ • 'borritfrusidre-the -Great and to extend it to Leeitii ; he much doubt ed whether their Lordships had the power. It hid been said that if Grimpound was dis franchised, it was not because there was pre judice in favour of transferring it to Leeds, but on account of the corruption of the electors of Compound ; this might be all true, but their Lordships ought first to ascertain whether they had the powerof removing it. In the time of Henry the Eighth, the Sheriff of every county lied to send two Members to Parliament, and the Charter to Borough., giving them the same right, was grimed by Charles 11. under the Great Seal, which could I not be done away with by Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was always rorry to differ from any Noble Lord, and inure particularly from the descendant of so great u titan as the ancestor of the Noble Lord who had just sat down, for lie was of opinion that such • case might be made out where the Royal prerogative ought to be put aside in such on instance as the present, but he was far from opinion that this was one that called for such a measure. He could not agree with the mode pointed out by the Noble Earl (Carnarvoii) fur the introdoctimi of Counsel. Although lie d,rl not sgrk.e with the principle of the Bill, lie could assure their Lordships, that, in the course of receiving the evidence, he would throw no difficulty in the way ; Iw, however, thought in dividual electors of Crainpound, who had been innocent end took no share in the corruption, that it would be severe on them to he excluded from defending theniselve Hs. could out agree to the mode of proceediog, as to Counsel, us proposed by the Noble Earl, o briber it was a Bill of Pains or Pensltie., or one of Its form. In the case of the last Session, which had been alluded to, the great evil was, that their Lordships d.d not adhere to the rule of evidence 811 pillettird in the Courts below. He hoped their Lordships would permit Counsel to state at the bar what were the objections of their dont, to the measure; if they were not allowed to do so, he wood(' have to beg en iodulgence fur himself, that if he went too far in his examivation of the witnesses, that their Lordships would attsi butr it t.. the want of the assistance of Coulter'. The Earl of CARNARVON explained, cod said lie had t.bjeetion to the interference atilt Noble and Leariwit Lord on the Woolsack, but lie ob. jected to the hearing of Counsel er pate. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would act to the best of his judgment, but it would be a diffi cult nod/disking without the assistsuce of Couesel„ who were in possession of their itostructions. The Earl of HARROWBY said. he considered it would be better if Counsel were heard on both sides, as their Lordships would be better able to collect the circuinstaiices of the case than they would from the hearing of the evidence. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to put the spies lion, that Counsel should be heard on both sides. The Earl of IJARROWISY said, he uuly suggested it, but had nut moved it. The Earl of Rossi.ee said, their Lordships should be aware, if Counsel were heard on both sides, that it would be neessury to appoint and in struct Counsel in support of the Bill, which would take up some time; and they must make up their iindi ihe holidays. The Loan Cnaicat.toa could not see that Id the employing of Counsel would be the cause, es he was convinced it never mold withoot theta be rue trough before the holidays, for there litre omit lints that must be entered into; fur inattlece. 8 1r M. Lopes had heen indicted, and there were Murteen counts in the indictment, and the WWI% on their Lordships' table did not spew On what counts lie was convicted. The record was not he, fore them.' o n ly an o ffi ce copy, wh i c h was not suc h a voucher as the House of Lords could act on, with. out it was established by esidence lia r.at their lia r. in his (pinion they were more likely to go oo faster if Counsel fur the Bill wire instructed to-night. and from his hilerwledge of thei r ability and Spduatvy, they wtSadd• 4C perfectly prepared to opip 1111 ealMI _ ta4borrevPi Lord Easclue said, he agreed *ids Npble and Learned Lord as to tlie advantage of having the assistance of Counsel in certain cases, but this, in his opinion, was not one of them. for it pryer could he called a Bill of Pains and Penalties. When he and his Noble and Leartivil Friend met at the slate tri-41s, why d:d they meet ? Because an opinion had gone abroad derogatory to the dignity of the House of Commons ; and, u, his opiuton, if the present Bill was carried into a law, it would. io a great measure, restore the liinise of Commons to the good opinion of the people. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that Counsel should he heard at their Lordships' bar both for and against the Bill. The Earl of CARNARYON moat strenuously op posed ii. He said that the advice of Counsel at their Lordships bar would be the last advice he would for passing or rejecting the Bill. He would never agree to the House of Lords being made a Cou►t of Nisi Mims, for if it was so, ISO substantial justice could be obtained. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of CAR NARYON mutually explained. Tile Marquis of LANSDOWN was of opinion there was tin necessity for the assistance of Counsel, as it was ►wt a Bill of pain. mod 'testators, but a Bill to remedy a national evil. If he was called on to vote on the motion of the Noble E.rl (Shaftesbury). he would give his voice egainst it. Lord ItosstAre objected to the employment of Counsel. It any private party felt agg►ieved by the Bill, then undoubtedly Counsel might be heard, but he could sue no resents why they should be em ployed to justify to the House their legislative pro ceedings, The LORD CHANCELLOR explained. He said, if Counsel were heard it would facilitate their in quiries considerably. Lord LAUDERDALE thought Bost Boa Home skeletal avail tliennelverof the assistance of Counsef. Lord HOLLAND laid the strongest possible ob jection to calling in Counsel. In this case there was no prosecutor, and Counsel, if called in, would have no client. Ile therefore thought the House had no necessity for their attendance. The LORD CHANCELLOR again explained,— He said their Lordships I►.d a right to call for the assistance of Counsel in any matter they thought fit. Lord HARROWBY only wished the House to adopt that course which was most advantageous to their proceedings, and if the House should tie *of opinion that Counsel could ass st their inquiries, then certainly they should avail themselves of them. Eall GREY said, if Counsel were necessary, their Lordships should exercise their parliamen tary priv►leges in orde► to assist their deliberations. The Luau CHANCRLLOR then put the que•tio m.

Mr. S. COOPER wished to know who was the individual whose usnu• was signed to the Petition. Mr. LA IBTON replied t►at it was Thomas flannagan. Mr. S. COOPER stated something, as we understood, respecting the Petitioner, which was uut audible an the gallery.. Mr. LA M BTON said, that as the allegations of the Peti tion were true, forso his friends who were Members fur Ire land had assured him, be had mit hesitated to bring the Peri. tion forward, without troubling himself about the character of the individual who had signed it.

Mr. CRISP said, that the Trustees had been uncommonly active on all the roads, and much money had been said out, and motels improvement made aspuss them since the first in troduction of the Bill fur uniting the Trust.. Mr. GRENFELL promised the Rill his hearty concur rence in every stage, because it would give the country far better roads, and on terms ter more cheap than at present. The gallery was cleared for a division, but the lion.

The Hon. Membee said he did not und.rtake to be responsible for the truthaf the allegations in the Petition, but he thought it important that they should he inquired into. Mr. F. ROBINSON said be was as Ignorant of the froth or falsehood of the facts mated w the Petition a■ the Hon. and Learned Member ; but it did sot appear that the Pe titioner had ever made any representation of his case to the Secretary of State in this miuutry, which seemed to be the most uatural course for hires to have 'token towards obtaining redress in the brst tsat•nee. The Petition was ordered to be kid on the table. A Message from the Lords sanuasced their Lordships' agreement to the Beer Duties Regulation Bill, and several private Bills, and requesting that the House would urler one of its clerks to attend at the bar of the Home of Lords, with the list of the voter.; of Grampousid, produced at the bar of the House of Cumenons by Mr. Thetil, Mr. Ruchford received permission to attend the Leeds' Committee of Privileges, fur the purpose of giving evidence on the inquiry into the claim of Alexander Home, EN. to the title uf Earl of klarchmont. SEWERS BILL. Mr. DICKINSON inured that of the Day fur the secoud readiest of the Sewers Bill should be read, fur ll.e purpose of beiug discharged. As the Bill wis one of cos sack relate importance, as affecting the proprietors of low lands, and as a considerable degree of opposition to the Bill existed which he had out anticipated, he wished to withdraw it for the present, and it was his intention early in the next Session to move fur a Select Committee to inquiry into the s: ate of the low lands throughout t►e kingdom, with a view &secession's' bow far some enactment of the nal•re of ibis Bi.l may be desirable. Before be quitted this subject, ►e felt it to be his duty to satiation that • paper had been published, by • Solicitor named Whitton, concerned in the opposition to the Bill, which he could not but consider as au infiingement upon lira• privileges of the Membioa of that House.

He bore testiinu;iy 1) the absence all private nuitives, on the pert of the honourable Member, to bringing forward the measure, which he had dune on tte rapr. as iustauce of his constituent., and sot unt:l he had taken extraordinary pains to setisfy himself of its uscfult.e,, by the circulation of a long string f questimse, lu ascerispi the opinions alba.* who were most likely to be acquainted with the subject, said must liable to be riticitel by it.
