Ilastug said thus ranch, he should take up no mare of their Lordships' time, but move that the Bill be read a second ti Earl Giosvehoh strongly urged the impulicy of the isseaserea proposed by Ministers, concern ing the present stale of the country, and observed that the resell( Bill took away the only security the people Ilshl 'spinal the enormous puirers of the Attorney-General. Lord Emilie said, that the noose should re ceive with great c o ati an y proposa l f or a l tering t h e anctert law of the. country. The right of traverse was one lung esialslishetl, and if any inconvenience had been felt from it, be was entitled to argue that st would at an earlier period kms been altered. To prove its being the long-recognised law of the pun. try. be cited me wpirilow-er toff Chief Janie* lisle, by whom it was fully admitted. So also it was recognised by the Legislature itself in the pre amble of a late Act of Parliament, arid with such authorities before them, he had expected that his Noble and binned Friend would have ahewn more new light to manifest their former errors. If the right of traverse were taken away from. mistletoes mars, how was the unology of the law preierved ? The Noble Lord observed. that in carer of treason the law afforded great indulgences to the seemed— su great, indeed,. as to reflect • lustre wpon this country in the eyes of foreign nations. The extent of them isidulgeoces he illustrated by reference to the case of Hatfield, who had attempted the lifeuf our present Sovereign, and for whom he (Lord Erskine), whet, at the bar, had acted sr Counsel. When lie was applied to tit, behalf of the accused. he asked his Noble Friend, Lord Kenyon, whether he was obliged to 'Word his services to the accused ? Lord Kenyon told him that lie assuredly was, and that no Gentleman of the bar would be justified in declining to act fur a prisoner who had desired that any particular Counsel should he es s i gne d t o hi m . This was a great indulgence. The prisoner was also entitled to a copy of the indictment. to a list of the jurors, of the witnesses who were to be brought against him, a COneellient length of time before his trial, and he was filially to be accused by double the number of witnesses who were required in other capital cases. He saw no moon for taking away every indulgence from the accused, in cases of misdemeanor. He asked nothing fur the ac cused, but that they should be left as they were, and this request was the more reasouable, m new laws were in course of enactment, which would reader the people of this country inure obnoxious to accusation than they had been previously. But in whatever manlier the present measure may affect the Defendant, it sensed that the Attorney-Gene rid was still left in possession of all those grinding powers which ought long since to have been de. stroyed.—(Hear.)—fie wished as much as any Noble Lord opposite to destroy the evil that now existed, but lie differed materially from them in the manner of effewing this object. as one physi cian in attendance upon a thitie;:t, may differ from another in the mode of treatinent ; hut lie thought if any chaiages were effected, they should operate equally upon the prosecutors and the defendants. blear.)—The present Bill, he remarked, came in had company. and fur that reason he liked it the worse, for the system proposed was one from which he anticipated the most pernicious results. The Earl of LivEitrour. did nut rise fur the purpose of going two the details connected with the present Bill, which in his upinton might he more satisfactorily treated in the Committee, and he did nut feel himself competent to enter into a technicel exatninati 111 l of the subject, either with his Noble Friend on the Woolsack, or the Noble and Learned Lord who had just spoken. He would however sat., that sinless this Bill were passed, they might as well say at once, ' 4 Let there be as much sedition and blasphemy its the country as was pleasing to any person in it." He agreed fully with what fell from the Noble and Learned Lord (Erskine). that no alteration should ever be made in the ancient law of the country, unless • case of urgent necessity was clearly 'shown. Ile would go even a step 'farther. and pay, that no matter how absurd a law may appear in theory, if do practical iocutiveineuce could he sliewoi to arise from it, it would be much better to let the old law contieue. ' It would be difficult, lie conceived, in theory, to reconcile the difference tied existed between the law of treason and murder upon the one hand, and the law of misdemeanor on the other. If they went about to make a code or laws for a new i country which never before bad any, it would, he thought, be considered a great absurdity to compel tremolo seethed of the greater of fence to plead in • short period, arid give a very great indulgence of many mouths to per sons accused of minor offences. This too was the More reinarkeble, as the indulgence was given to the permit, whose offence was bailable, and who every "'moth, week, day, or hour, might testiest his offehce, and was refused to the person who was confined in prisms, who was therefore secure, and prevented from repeating his guilt. Besides, it would seem advisable in all cases that the trial should follow the offence as soon a. possible, that ponishment might appear to be the necessary con siequetice of the crime cot 1111 l itted. Suit certainly would be thought, if they were legislating de novo, but he would concede to the Learned Lord that they were nut now legislating de novo, and that the old law ought not to be changed, unless the ureeticy of the necessity were manifest. He was the last runt) in the country who would infringe the liberty of the press, which was undoubtedly the beet security for the freedom of the country ; but let the House look to the horrible abuses lately committed, and say whether it were possible that they could be suffered to continue.

IMPARIAL PAiILIAMEST. ROUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, DtcEmu& 3. RIGHT OF TRAVERSE. The LORD CHANCLILLOR sletersided from the Woolmek, and moved the second reading of the Bill for preventing Delis in the Adminirtrati tttt or Justice. The press:utile of this Bill, said the Noble Lord, rteited that great delays took place in the trials of indictments and informations in cares of misdemeanors, by reason of the right en joyed by the defendant of postponing them by menus of impedance. or by obtaining time to plead. Thi. right was similar to the right of im portance, given isi civil proceedings to the stereo dams. which accordiug to the opinions expressed both in modern and ancient books, war grouted fur two rearons—one that the defendant might have an opportunity of ieconciling his difference with the phinitiff '• while lie was is the way ;" the other, that the &reorient might have los oppor tunity of looking into the complaint urg ed agairort him, and devising what plea it w o uld b e advisable fur him to use. If such an indulgence were al lowed in civil proceedings, it was but reasonable that iii criminal proceedings something similar should also he conceded. It was therefore not his desire to compel the defendant in casts of tuirsle , meaner to plead instantly. but only that he should do so within a fair awl reasonable time, The Noble and Learned Lord then entered, but iii a very low tone of enter, into a minute detail of the tech. distinctions admitted by the Court of King's Relict'. in the several modes of procedure, and then adverting to the proceedings in the inferior (:ourts, lie stated that his Bill would give to de fendants a power Interest° enjoyed only lay the pro. secutor, of removing the record by writ of certio ruri Hunt an inferior Court into the Court of King's Bruch, even before indictment found. He admitted that it was desirable that a defendant should have a copy of the indsctuirot before he was required to plead, but he had not Houle up lass ea t i 11l las to whether the copy should be furnished at the public expenre or nut, The Noble Lord declared that this Bill had ins connexion whatever with the present state of the country ; it stood I s lam its own thebtillet merits assn alteration in the mating law, rendered merman) by a manifest tropes fertion. The principle of the measure was to prevent delay, but if in the details be hisit suggested for the attaiss men! of this object any improvement could he sug gested, they might be made the %object of conris. &ration in the Committee. He dial not deny Oust the alteration slow proposed in the law was one of extreme inoportssice, and •which perhaps would trot be justified but by a strong case of neceseity. It war nut a subject, however. new iu argument, nor one which had not often before been dismissed. The principle of insporlauce in inisilextemnits was tiled tin the crud ur the seven MA , " sod it vimi parishes with the a i rapt press. This was a was sN well capable smother. she •'ril was pension of Nil ; lon lug it. some flifficu heirecret, *field drone sent measure who was at the extent of il,. plyire the remedy Laerusd Lewd tvotwimined had net been useinused, not displayed. lie inquiry reeprcting the OSeers of she Crown. dunanr twelve months wish the crimes of wlnelt pressures guilty. The that so the right d' the daimitlaut o Ishwysiwee eel - not also take', away rim the Attorney-GI-item?. Let that jusint, however, be considfred upon the same principles as he had suggested in the exami nation of the other; let the rircesaitv of taking; away this power from the Attorney-general lie mode apparent, and lie should admit the propriety of the Noble Lord's proposeil. The Aaiun...Y. General was invested with powers greater than appertained to any other individual for the pro secution of offences, because lie was a rem•cries sible officer—responsible to the Crown and to the Houses of Parliament for hi* coridnet ; lent if • strong case of 'bind were 'hewn, it avoid !lieu become a question, whether it would suit be expedient to deprive him of his authority.— The principal accusation, however, which *sumn his memory had been sinide against Attorneys-Gea tiend. was, not that they had been too fond of pro secutions, but that they did not exercise their power with sufficient energy. He repeated, Vast of necessity were goaded" to prove the ex pedienty of limiting his discretionary powers, lie should have no decided objection to acquiesce its such a proposal ; but nothuriutt of Soong cave would, in his mi n d, j us tify a u insiovatiois t a ws the ancient law of the country; Lord HOLLAND said, t re were mime travels why he could not mien ester inns the t.fehliert before their Lurelshil °opt them was that of his incompeteLey to is the terlinical points of law ; he however lerstond sufficient its know that the Noble EMI in his speech had throw., reflections on the abilities and miderstandilig tel tl.e Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, which would not have hero decorous il* they lead voons from his side of the Wow. The Noble Fall said. that there oust be a case of great necessity sliewi., befure they altered the law of the laud as it stood ; but had e.. shewo by one ;legion-TIE the necessity ?—„tliMlue would ask, why the present seicierire was necessary What could the liailwals do more then the Noble Earl had 114114 , . 10 declare that the laws were defective; then how “Icturd was his doctrine! The Noble Earl then, after lee taring his Noble End Learned Friend, says, that the present measure, which goes to take away the privileges of all his Majesty's sub jects who may be indicted for mistier:meow% is for their protection ; acid in the same breath asks your Lordships, will you allow Otitis to proceed l•Y ticking away power front the Attorney Ornerl! ?
