Mr. ?Kat:EVA!. olio:reed. that though he might n ot he enabled to state the particular., he might soforus them of the nature of the charge he inemit to Friar forward. Mr. WARDLE. declared lie could not disclose it that mooseut ; hut he assured the 'tight Honour able Gentleman lie would disclose it the serf first moment it was iii Isis power. 1..0111 VOLIMJNK his Hon. Friend might be busily employed in the inorniug inreeigsiting the evil but his Lordship would take cure to commaisieate their intention as soon as they came to any concision. Mr. PERCEVAL still pressed for a disclosure of the maitre of the charge intended to be brought forwatd. Mt. CA74111110 said. It was never heard that there was 111 charge intended so vit,;tie that the party bad not prepared to state what that was ; thereby while the impreassitna went forth to the public, depriving the so:cured of the means of brio; reposed for his defence. Lord I"ass arosto replied, the charge was nut vague, for it was not made, and it would lie indeed subjecting them to censure, if they were to souks it before they knew whether they had such proof as would justify them in bringing it forward. Mr. Warroat.sts defended this Honourable Gentleman and the Noble Lord from the iisionta moo of Concealing the motors of the charge, for the porous, of not allowing time for defence ; if such a thing were ioteuded, the Howe would prevent the injustice, by allowing sulleient time for de fence. Due could easily conceive information given of um charge so important as to deserve inquiry, and yet the testimony so Jou:obit as to rrouire time to consider whether it could be sustained; upon these eroonds, he was sore his friends would stand at:- ( pitted in refusing to disclose it. Mr. ?KtteliVAL persisted in the opinion, that the mode of prosoading was unotaul end tiuprece .lseittel.

It was also stated by Mr. WINDHAM, that the public business is sulleting, and that the public mind is diverted from its proper objects.

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff, a publican, in West ter, against the Defeisciant„ who was the Chairman of the Committee lot ina usiing the tilluirs of Sir Francis Burdett's election, to recover 2001. the amount of a bill delivered to the said Committee, for sundry expenses incurred in paying for carriages for this conveyanee of Electors to the hustings, the use of his house, and the payment of drummers, &e. *cc. to at lewd and give eclat to the proceedlin r ,_ , 4 of the election of that Gentle:oast. leveral Witnesses were coiled on the part of the Plaintiff, who stated that be was employed by the Committee to ren der his assistance towards the procuration cf votes, and to give every ai4iis his power for forwarding the interests of Sir F. Burdett, which he slid by hiring carriages, said toe necessary attendants to precede these vehicles, w hen conveying Electors to the bust-. iogs. For this service 'it was understood he stet to receive an ample remuneration. De furnished Isis bill to the Secretary, specifyhtg his distinct charges, and the es:proses he laud been at; amount ing to the sum specified in the cleehtratani. On the part of the- Defendant, the Ss eretary of the Committee was called, who stated, that the Plaintiff hail solicited from the Consmittee, as it favour, that his house should be used as a remlet: vows fur Electors, oo the ground that such ass in aulgeure would be of materiel service to him; and on snaking this appliention, he milled, that a coni pony of gentlemen in his tieighbourhood would defray all the expenses atten.s.lng any exertion: In: might make to facilitate the interest of Sir Foineis Burdett. The only allowance agreed to 'by the Coiumittee was, that a man should to puiii for taking care of and carrying the colours. The demand oo the Commitiee, contained in a let ' ter including the items of his charges, was pro.;. slimed ; but on being wail to the Court, the appli cation appeared to liaye been made in the joint name* of Smith and Wilmot. anti the , nction was only brought in the name of Smith.
