'ibis was the only fait its which Vard was men biomes' is the deposition Made by Savage. Bat it corroborated the fact, that he was one of those who were actively employed in the system of destruction. If the House hod been acquainted with the renit ence of those depositions, Gentlemen would mot fare been is reedy to give credit to the good cha racter of this individual. Mr. Ward. this moral. this truly religious man, yomplained that he had suffered rest hardships. But who would now be. lien him, softer what he bed stated He had been committed for dimmable practices, du the oath of more than one witness—and it appeared, on the dyi.tg declaration of two of his associates. that he had been closely coonected with them dread. fel, these aurorael trausectiesos. which had die. graced Nottingham mot some of the neighbour ing districts. Those misguided iudividuals, not following the course gathers. who. at the point of death. gyve a different colour to all they had stated is their more serious monsents, coofessed their mi. iniondity. And, if Gentlemen chose to returns to the subject of the individuals to whom he alluded, /oe believed he could 'tete circumstances that would tend to alter their opinions epos that peiot. as much se those he hail now laid before the Howe mast ope rate ineffreting a change is their Sebago with re toed to Mr. Ward. There was, in **case be had laid before the Howe a moral condentuatioa; it poly wanted the verdict of a Jury to render it a criminal one. He stated this. that Gentlemen ' might not be run away Wets by the chows', of Mr. Ward. who had been described as one of the most Moral men that ever eziated.—( Hear, Afar.) —lf Ise had severed say grievance, let Wane be thrown Mho such a shape, that it could be submit ted is Come of Justice—but he denied that any round was laid for bringing it under the considera tion of a Committee of that House—and, if it were net ratieseal to proceed thus, in ,the case of Ward, it was mostly irrational, with respect to all the other cases. On these grounds he would oppose a motion, founded on ex-parte statements, and meant for the benefit and protection of men, whose cool et bad modeled it oecessary that his Majes ty's Government should be armed with extraor dinary powers. He believed, whew the course adopted by Ministers had been remained in the Committee up stairs, it would be found unworthy of the Mame that was attached I. it. That Com mittee, he bad a doubt, would find that the state ments made against theta were unfoundell--arl the flouse, be was convinced, would participate aith them in the propriety of that conclusion. They would perceive that what Ministers had done arose not front a lime of oppression, but from • desire to relieve the country from the evils which threatened it. The Noble Lord had mute is bringing forward his motion, attempted to clothe the peoceirciiine with that chen:eter of ream which mein to belong to it. He called for an open Committee, and seemed to think that his Majesty's Ministers could bring before that Committee those persons who had given evidence, on the express condition, that their names should he coureuled. It was isaisossible that they could do that. He would again state, with cnnfidence,tbat no person had been enmenitteel. recept on oath, and with the advice of the Lao Officers of the Crown. Now was there a single installer in which Ministers could not bring Inane to the party accused • strong probability of crime ? lf, by agreeing to this motion. they took from the Clovermnent the opportunity of procuring private information, in times of great danger. they would hind that the consequences would be moot dangerous.—for, ender such circumstances, flee conspirator himself would scarcely venture to COMP 0411/pfd, and place his life in jeopardy. 11 hen the House considered the moll number of p.rsons arrested smiler the Suspension Bill, owl the 5c , i..4 that took place in the disturbed parte of the rinentiy, they would, he was sure, come to the con e !amnia. that Ministers had not acted improperly— hut that tl.ry had only eudeavoored to put down a Vreat danger, which, but her their resections. would hese give.. Gentlemen such proof of its mimetic?, al might elassys to be avoided. On there grounds hr would give his most direct negative to the, case. Nlr. .1. SMITH imid, he understood the object of the Noble Lord's motion was, merely to refer to a Coosulittee the Petition of Francis Want— soil be rogue down wills the full invention of op -1.0.i0g that notion.—(ileor. lieere.)—Beesesse, he believed, when that nosit's caw was fully known. inn noti l od e net mould behove • word mestained in hie l'etitnese.

One circumstance lee wished to state, which the - Made Lord opposite had omitted, namely, that previou s to trial, be had disclosed In the solicitor ly whom he was defended, the part he had taken in various disturbances—which comnionica time sifter his executio n , th e so li c i tor ma d e k nown to :he proper authority.—/ Hear, hear, lear.)— This disclosure agreed, in aulposence, with what the Noble Lord had stated.—/Heir.,—The Hon.

Now, if any instance or improper se verity could he proved to have taken place der the Suspension Rill, the House ought to in quire into it. He could not, therefore, oppose the motion, embracing, as it did, the cases of se veral persons whose characters were not stated to be similar to that of Word. With respect to that greet criminal, he regretted that he had not been brought to justice—end he hoped evidence soOlicient would yet be found to bring him to condign pu nishment. Mr. GOLDING, in answer to certain allega tion. contained in the Petition of Julio Knight, in which he complained of having heel, maltreated while in Reading gaol, by Mr. Eastaffe, the gaoler, reed a letter from fist individual, in which he set forth, that the kindest attention was paid to Knight, and his companions. Nathaniel Hutton end Jame, Sellers, while they were under leis care. Stllers and Halton had written a letter to the Magistrates of the county, in which they thanked Mr. Eastaffe fpr his kind couduct, which letter the Huu. Member .ilso reed. Sir W. Lemon said. that, although he believed neither the Noble Lord at the head of the Home Departaneat, wee any of his Majewte's Ministers, would use the powers pointed to them, fora bad porprise....yet it Was not ea clear that others would act with the same propriety. And, as Petitions, complaining of grievances, were laid before the Houae--although one of them was not borne out. and perhaps none of them would be—he conceived the Members of that House were directly required to examine them. ttitioners said it Jul take !Aare. That was the ques. t ip„ at i s ,„,—,, a d haw enss it to be decided but by ■ Committee ? Not such a Cootioittee Halved as that now pitting, which was fnrmr►l by the Nobl e Lord i i 888 4elf. if such a Committee could satisfy any men of con u mope iii the country, lie was grossly rte:c e i eri i. Th e Noble Lord might nut find it convenient to trust to one which Would fairly iii vestigate both ►idea of the question.

The right of imprison- Meat on the part of the Crown hail ever been a subject of greet conteiiti ys this country. The great Charter, as had hero observed, dwelt peril. cularly on that point.

Again the stone Charterr said, milliTliker hooter inaprisoiseter, and all the old Statutes. subee quently enforced by the Bill of Rights, went to the same point, that on oust at Idheimpn.oned.oiliwut being speedily brought to trial, It would be bettef, lie observed, fur the subject, diet, tlw right of sus. pending laws • lay in the Crliwit than in ilte House of Commons, for in that case injured indiriu, is might have recour►e to the House of Cominous for redress against the acts of the Crown, but as the case stood at present, the people were compelled to apply for redress to the very power by whose authority the injury had been inflicted. Mr. Wit.aseironce rose for the sole purpose of giving his authority for having on a former occas given to Mr. Aria the praise of humanity. He hail merely spoken what he had heard from Mr. Owen, the Chaplain-General, who had been for many months in constant attendance its the prison of Coldhath-fields. and who had •forml; corn. mended Mr. Aria for his treatment of the prisoners. Some money transactions had been the cause of Mr. Aria's remove! ; but notwithstanding the anec dote respecting his having killed a bird, lie be. Mewed 'hut nothing had tianspired to impeach his humanity. He objected to sin inquiry in conse quence of the bail character of some of the peti tioners, but stated, that if any particular point contained in them had been properly investi gated by any Gentleman, he for one would consent to have it referred to a Committee. He defended the occasional Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. which he characterised as the means of ultimately ensuring the safety of the Constitution ; tad stated, that in every free Government of a►►ti. (pity, a similar authority existed. Sir F. Buanarr and Mr. WILBERFORCE mu• Wally explained. Sir S. Kontt.LY—The question before the Houv was, whether gross abuses had not occurred in exercising the powers intrusted to Miiiisters by Parhament; and whether it was consistent with justice br common sense that no oilier inquiry should take place concerning this matter but one . wherein no other evidence should he produced but such as the Ministers thought proper to present. It • appeared that a number of persons had been goad ed into violence. and hurried is. irons front prison to prison. as if far the purpose of spreading alarm, and extending the evidence of the alleged con- I 'piracy. The Noble Lord had said that even should a Bill of Indemnity pass, it would not prevent (it'll or even criminal actions from being brought against gaolers, or other persons, who had wantonly abused the powers intrusted to them ; but if, as the • ' Noble Lord had acknowledged, the Bill of In demnity now about to be brought in was to be the same as that of 1801, there could be no doubt that no civil action or criminal prosecution could be supported. Were there no Suspension of the Act of Habeas Corpus, the acts ge nerally complained of in these Petitions were not in the►nselves illegal. It was not illegal to put a man amend of high Watson in irons ; it was not illegal to put hint into solitary imprison. ineut ; but it because a matter fit for inquiry• to see whether such acts were necessary for the safe cus tody of the prisoner. or were only wantoaly iuflnct ed. The falsity of some allegations contained in the Petitions did not affect the propriety of inves tigating the rest, against which tio imputation lad been objected. Should it not be inquired, why a man 74 years of age. oppressed with disease, had been losded with irons until his life had been en• dang ere d ?—why at Oxford then had been con fined in unwholesome dungeon*? An Hon. Friend had ►easarked on the powers which had existed iii ancient republics, but let I►im consider to what such power" had tended. It was by degrees that the dierstorship was rendered perpetual, and by the same means would the frequent soapenston of the Habeas Corpus Act tend to the ultimate ruin of the Constitution.—(Hear. hear.) Mr. Ammonite testified to the general conve nience of (w on t gaol, and to the humanity of the gaoler. The only complaint be bad heard egotism the gaol was, that the chimney in one of the apartments smoked. Mr. 11. SUIINKR Mated, that when Ogden was brought to Horsemenger-lease lie was afilicted with the disease of which he had complained, and that au operation had bees. there skilfully lierforissed hin t b y m e , Dixon; that be subsequently appeared ne et fl ina i ng with g nnitoide far the kindness lie bad 1 e'xpe►ienced, and had blessed Goal for having beau swot to the gaol, to which he attributed the safety of his life. Mr. GORDON wished to say a few words in defence of the keeper of Gloucester gaol. Mr. Couniugbans, who bad been accused. by John Maguire in his Petition, with having caused him to be pla ced in a cistern of cold water, in conse quence of which he contracted a fever. The fact appeared to be. that he had been placed, not in a cold, but in a warm-bath, to refresh him. lifter the fatigue of a long journey. He was imprisoned in Gloucester gaol, on the 12th of A pail. and was not taken ill till the 20th of May, so that the warm-bath could not be supposed to be the cause of his indisposition. Balguley had a aiding-room and • sleeping-mini. He was allowed a Koalas per week for previsions. And Mr. Cunningham. who anxiously wished for inquiry, permitted, not merely the visiting Magistrates, but any Magistrate ?1, the county, to - have free access to him. Still, however he conceived inquiry ought to be granted. Si, W. Guns corroborated the statement of the last speaker, as to the care and attention bestowed on Maguire. Sir F. BeaDere did not pretend to have so un biassed a mind on this subject as those Gentlemen who preceded him seemed to possess—because he recollected when he formerly brought the character of the keeper of Coldsbeth-fields Prison (Mr. Aria) before the House. and was desirous of sibistass define, by evidence, the charges he epode against him, Gentlemen proceeded exactly as had been done this evening with respect to other spielers. and declared that Mr. Avis. whose real character was afterwards discovered, was composed of 'guiltiest but the milk of human kindness.--(Neer. bar.) The Hon. Member for Yorkshire (Mr. Wilberforce)) expressed his belief that he was a pattern of kind ness - and humanity—and would not credit the story, that he had created in his hand a robin red-breast, whieh.dering • hard wiutrr. had intend the cell of a person condemned to solitary confinement, and deprived the unhappy individial of his only source of amusement.—(Hew. hear.)—When he stated this. he did it, that Gentlemen should not he sur prised. if he did not. on the moment, give the ut most degree of credence to those stateinetits which different gaolers had drawn up with respect to their own conduct. At the same time, he was happy to fitul. that, except in one or two iustancer, all the petitioners agreed in praising the keepers of differ ent prisons for their kindness. All that had been said relative to the character of Francis Ward, was foreign to the question. Suppose hint to he a very bad man—suppose him to have committed the murders recently perpetrated at Greenwich—what had that to do with the injury ? The question was —had he been legally charged with high treason— had he beerklegally treated sender that charge—and had he been. 11y discharged from it ?—(Harr. / —The Noble Lord had kept die true question out of sight, and, therefore, bad not grappled with the legal argument of his Noble Friend. The Noble Lord, under whom all those scenes took piece, however kind he might be, was accountable for them. If he were ignorant of them, his very igno rance was criminal. But the old legal maxim— "s (Jeri /ode per onion Atli per se," applied di rectly to him. His good charades had beets re , sorted to, as a reason for graistiser this power to Ministers, which had been so shamefully abused. And now, when the abuses were complained of, it was user) as a reason for nut going into inquiry. Was, he would ask, the case of Ogden, an Old mats of 74, who was loaded with irons. that pro duced a rupture—was that case false? Was the case of two individual*. who were chained in bed togeth er — se ,. H i nt without fonnsfation ? There could he no ground for inch severity. its cells escape. from which was impossible. The Noble Lord said, Ministers wanted no Bill of Indemnity. But surely the Hoare must recollect how they talked shoot like, responsibility whew iscreeinx for the Suspension Hear, here.)—W hese that Act was pending. he moved, but less twins, was rejected, that persons arrested under it should unt be ironed. The character of the Noble. Lord (Sidinouth) was advanced as a proof that such se verity could not take place.
