He ;hen resumed—lt was., he said, im possible that the cave to whirl, Mr. Fax spoke, or indeed any other case which ever came before • Parliament, could be so sting as the one then under their consideration. He would make much allowance for the irritated feelings of a distressed mechanic, who might be betrayed into an act of indiscretion; he would make great allowances for a conductor of the daily press, who might iii the hurry of business be guilty of conduct which in his cooler motored% hr would regret. Such a man might br betrayed 11110 expressions which on reflection he would wish, if possible, to withdraw from publicity ; but he saw no apology for a deli berate act, ruches had been committed by the indi vidual in question ; lie had cooly and deliberately given full currency and circulation to the sentiments contained in the pamphlet.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. CdUitTEN AT moved the Order of the Day, that Robert Siodurt do attend et the bar of the Hume. Mr. ELLICS said, that in order to save the time of the Howie. and to 'prevent any trouble or in convenience to the publisher of the pamphlet, the ma .thor of dm publication in ,eation authorised I ,to avow Ins ,nanw ; alit. at. that he his relay to obey the ordesis of thati sic The author was a friend of his-.-bis mime was John Cain Hob house. Mr. COURTEII AT said. that notwithstanding the avowal of the author, it was yet necessary in point of regularity that she publisher should at least ap pear tit the bar, to alien that he obeyed the order of the House. Mr. Storied was then called in. and examined. The Seesseo—What is your matte!—Robert Stodge.. The Sreages—Look at that pamphlet, and state to the Home whether it was published by yew ?—(Witsess having looked at the pamphlet)-1t was. The SPEAR rat—Do you know the author of it !—I do. The sersata—state the MIN of the slither?—Mr. Hob house is the author. The Sramt sa—State his Christian same ?—Winess said he did not distimtly bear the question, a be was somewhat deOf.—(lfear, bear.) The Speak Ell--Stftte at length the name of the author ? His name is John Cam Hublionse. The SPICAILICR , ..YOU may withdraw. After the witness withdrew— Mr. Cocitirtx sir said, after what had passed. it was not his intention to visit the printer or puts. usher with any punishment whatever. He would therefore move-- 141, That Mr. Studart be discharged; and illy, That John Cam 11ohloinuse should attend at the bar of that House lomsurruw (this slay). Mr. Ettics said, that Mr. Hobbouse was not in town. lie left town to see his father, who was ex• trentely ill ; but he would attend the order of that House. Mr. COVRTEXAY said, he had no wish but to afford Mr. llobhoure every reasonable accommoda tion ; but, as the Hon. Gentleman opposite said lie would attend to-morrow, lie would move, that Mr. Hubliouse should attend accordingly. Mr. TIERNEY said. he would wish the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would state, for what purpose Mr. liofihouse should attend et the bar? The SPEASII• said, lie thought the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Courtenay) understood the situation of the publisher : he was not in custody, and therefore it was unnecessary to move fur his ilitcharge. As to the attendance of Mr. Hubhouse, if the I louse had the fact merely from the publisher that Mr. !clubhouse was the author, then the regu lar co u r se would be, to order Mr. Hobbouse to attend, because he might be able to thaw that the evidence of the publisher was given in mistake, and that he was not the author; but when there was a declaration from ass Hon. Member of that House, speaking in the name of Mr. Hobbouse, and avowing that he was the author of the publication, it was not necessary to order that Mr. Hobhouse should attend nit the bar. Mr. COURTENAT said, that the Speaker having shown that it was not necessary for him to make the motion for the attendance of Mr. Hobhouse, he would now 'proceed to state the nature of the view which he took of the matter, and the nature of the proceedings which the House *tumid take on the present consideration. He had no hesitation in raying, that lie had given the subject his most animus ron.ideratiou, and be was sure his Hon. and Learned Friend opposite would agree with him its the conclusion Lie had formed, which was, that the punishment of the offence should he left in the hands of the hlouse. Upon the authority of that !louse, and upon their power to inflict punishment on individuals for the breach of their privileges, he would not argue—lie believed there wits but one Member of that !louse disposed to (ideation their power. He would, therefore, merely read a Ire passages from a Report of a Committee of that House on a question affecting their pri vileges, which appeared to him to sum up all the arguments on the point in a forcible, setisfactory, and conclusive manner. The Report concluded the observations of the Committee, by saying, that the power of Pm hartient to commit per-oat for the breads of their orivilegel was a part of the imolai. meutal law of Parliament, and the law of l'ar liamesit was the law of the land ; the exercise of that power did not therefore infringe even on Magna Chortu, which stated, that it was nut bolo, to send any freeman to prison contrary to the laws of the land. The power of the House was there fore, as it was right and expedient—it was proved by iminemorial usage, and sinictioned by the highest legislative authority, it was the law of the land— exercised to preserve the rights and liberties of the subject. Upon this subject, said the lion. Member, the opinious of men of great weight and import ance were well known—without fatiguing the Ileum with is repetition of names, lie would merely quote the authority of Mr. Fox upon a questinn of this .salute. Ile said, thut though a sincere friend to the liberty of the press, lie yet thought that for is gross breach of their privileges the offender should nut escape with impunity. Soma allusion, said Mr. Fox, had been made, as to a pstwevutiiiii by the At ttttt my-General, and it was said that committiog the individual was not the just mode of preceding, but it was its the power of all the Court' of Jii.tice to commit persons for a contempt of Court, and he wetild not take that pewter out of the 111111110 of the House of Cominone. The Hon. Member went on to read the extract from Mr. Fox's speech, which stated in substance, that the House were; that the Speaker should issue his warrants ac cordingly : noir of those warrants would be to Moe Serjeant at AMR, to table the tridividual into coo- Indy ; the other to the gaoler of Nevigete, to keep him in confinement, whet• delivered up by the Seri-aid at Arms. Sir C. fluattEht. said, the gaoler would haveato tight to receive *lw person of slit Prosimer.—(Here the worthy Baronet wse rolled to order.) The SEMA Kra said, Its must hare hero misunder stood by the Hum Btronet. He then repeated toe observations lie had oresinusly made. end cow eluded by mying, that if the gaoler refused tear ceive Mr. Hohliouse, such refu►al would be treated as a grow c ,, iitenipt of that House.

The LORD Cnattcrt.t.oft moved the third fad ing of the Hill for expeaitiog the tnals of anado. mesiims. This being dour, the Nubia ..4 Learii.d Lord proposed a chant far the adtfieller c•iia.4;des• • 46.111110".:. bled effyficio, which he hoped would prove sans- factory. In traminv, this douse, he *toted that he observed am closely as the circumstances of the case would permit, the analogy of the law as it re spected what were called private prosecutors. In preside prosecutions, if the case were not brought to trial with convenient diligence on the part of the prosecutor, the defendant was authorised to briag the record to trial ; the clause. therefore, which he now proposed, declared that if the Attorney-Gene ral did not within the space of twelve month, after plea of 4 , Not Guilty" being pleaded proceed to trial, the defenchnit may give twenty days notice to the Attorney or Solicitor-General, and the Court shall moke an order authorising the defendant to bring on the trial. In such a case, if the Attorney or Solicitor-General do not proceed to trial, the defendant shall of coarse be acquitted. Such was j the oulndonce of the clause which be now moved . entifine him to a dangena. The SPUMES& asked, whether the Hop. Member intended to move an gmendinelit Ssr CHARLES BURRELL said, that baking ihe should receive the support of the Home, he mild move, a• an amendment, that he be committed to the custody of the Serjeant at Arms. Mr. am:a seconded the amendment. Mr. COURTENAY was actuated by no other feel ing than a wish to perform his duty. and to do so in a manner the least unpleasant to the individual to be affected by it.. He had too wish whatever that the individual should he exposed to any seve rity winch could be avoided. nor that he ihoold ibe ridCrd hi • prison which 1V,14 unlit to nffurd him accoinctiodation.—( lear.)—lfe had not the least objection to the Amendment, if it were the general The Resolotion was put and curried, with the exception of one single voice, which we understood to be that of Sir Francis Burdett. Mr. COURTEN•Y then moved a Resolution to the following effect : "Resolved—That Juho Cam Hubbouse having acknow ledged hiamelf to be oho author of the said Pamphlet, is guilty of a high contempt of that House, and that Ischia bees guilty of a high brcaeltuf the privileges, and of a con. temps of the authority of that House." This Resolution was put and carried, precisely in the same manner as the former. Mr. COURTENAY—That, without deciding on the place where Mr. Hobliouse should be confined, to abide the ultimate punishment, lie would move That the said John Cant Hobhouse, for the said offence, be committed to the custody of the Serjeosit at Arms"—wheilier lie Should be confined in Newgate, or any other place, would be the sub ject of a subsequent motion. Mr. BRourixAst said, that before the motion was put, he would ask the Hon. and Learned Member, whether it was necessary, under present circuenstatices, to take the intermediate step of committing Mr. Hoblionse so the custody of the Serjesint tit Arms That proceeding would be productive of delay, by having Mr. Whitmire brought to the bar of the House, and it would operate*. a double punishment, by subjecting him to the payment of heavy hers. lle uuuld beg the attention of the House so a eircunistmice stated by au Hon. Friend behind 16.11 (Mr. Ellice.) It was stated that Mr. 1101)1100Se Was at that moment in the act of performing an office of filial piety— he was in the net of attending loos father, who was in an extremely slangerou , state of health, and that he went to see him previous to being subjected to the punishment of that House. The House would then proceed to guard their privileges, and he for one approved of the mode of proceeding they had taken, fur he would not wish to see a question affecting their privileges sent to be tried before any other tribunal ; but at the same time they would not deprive Mr. Hobhouse of the opportunity of seeing his. father. Mr. COURTENAY said, that he had felt it to be the more regular and ordinary course to move, in the first instance, that Mr. Hohhouse should be committed to Newgate, but an Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Edict-) load come over to that side of the House and suggested, as a matter of favour to Mr. Hilbhouse, the course which hurl been taken. He had therefore worded his motion fur the con venience of the individual, and not for the purpose of eggravating his punishment. But he had stow no alterative left Imo, he would, therefore, move that John Cain Ilobliouse be committed to New gate. Mr. BROUGHAM explained. it woe, he said, im possible fur hint to think that Mr. llobliouse could wish to be to& n into the custody of the Serjeatit at Arms, and by that memo to subject himself to two sorts of punishment. Mr. Ei.t.ica svowerl that it was at his suggestion, the Hon. Member framed his motion. He under stood that Newgate wart so crowded that it was im possible fur Mr. Hebhonse to get any aecomnsoda tion, and if lie were committed, lie would be confined in a cell with convicted felon% lie was not aware that by being taken into the custody of the Ser. jestit at Arms, he would he subject to additional punishment, in the shape of fine•or fees. Mr. %VYNN doubted the regularity of the motion for cominitting Mr. 11 , blinuse, in the first instance, to Newgate. The only person that was to execute their order was Ilse Serjealot at Arms, or their offi cers. Ile d,rl toot apprehend that it was a itecessary consequence, that Mr. Hoolohouse should be brought to the bar, the Serjcant walk' report to the House that he was in custody, and then they might move for his committal to Newgate. Such was the case of General Clavering, the Serjeant at Arms report ed that he had hips to eUitolly, and he wasthen COM. milted to Newgate. The SPEAKER said there could be no doubt but that the Howe might order to have the individual directly committed to Newgate. He apprehended that the reason a double motion was made was, that the individual was nut known to the Hoare, and it was necessary in the first instance for the House to know where he was, cur how he could be found, or whether he could he found at all; hut in the present ease, there was no such difficulty; the usual words feeling of the Muse to adopt it. Sir C. BURRELL said, his only object in pro posing the Amendment was to obviate the Meoo venience to which Al r. flohhouse would be exposed, if he were sent to Newgate in the present •late of should be rend. Lord HOLLAND hoped the House would excave him if he should rise to mike his pruomil acknow ledgments to the Noble and Learned Lord, for the clause which he had submitted to their consider ation. The clause went as far as any thing which he (Lord Holland) could suggest, and Clr vied its object into effect in a much better manner. He could not say that the clause had indeed done all which he could have desired, hut it did much more than he hod ever expected. This and an other clause which the Noble Lord had introduced, had Oft cted an improvement so material in the entire Bill, that he did not deny that the measure would effect a very considerable improvement in the law of the country; he therefore should for pose say content to the motion for passing the Bill. The clause was thee read. and the Bill was passed and ordered to be sent to the Commons. that gaol, cis described to the House. Mr. COURTEIs sir was perfectly anxious to meet the general wish of the House. Mr. Alderman Woow said, that in consecrerce Of oliat had been sweet respecting the snootier its which Newgate was crowded, lie felt it right to mention, in corrotntration of that stutemeut, that really the prison was in such a condition it would Ise perfectly impossible to give Mr. Hobhouse that separate accommodation to which a Geuileinan of his condition might be considered entitled. There were now 300 prisoners ice Newgate. and the crowd ed state rendered it impossible to admit of any se parate accommodation oh the spur of the occasion. Notwithstanding this. however. some accommo dation may be afforded if notice of a dry or tura were given, and 1w (the worthy Alderman) would use his personal Albs to to procure the necessary accom ntoda t i 111 l fur a gentleman in Mr. Hobhowe's situ*. tion. This might be done in a part of the build ing which the Law Officers had held was within the prison—(we presume the keeper's hottse.)-11 short time were given lie 'lipoid endeavour to see if some arrangraitent could not be. nisei* to provide the necessary accollituucletion which the t Mutt of the case demanded. Mr. Doocnae lilNNStato begged leave to sat, he was the last man ite that House, who would pro pose any to3grevittion of punishment upon any Md.- videtal who limy hive fallen under their animadver sion; but haviog uncoiled there when inelividuois in humble circumstances were. for offences sect greater than that now imputed to the individual. committed to Neivgate, lie knew tiot how, in fn rileas or even-handed justice, they could adopt a different course for the rich, than that which they bad al ready applied to the poor.—(/)ear, hear.)-11 they proceeded in this case in • different manner flocs that which they 'snowed in former Casts, It Wight he imputed to the House, that they were afraid ii. deal with the individual and the arctice in the manner they had dealt with others on 'Previous oc casions. If the prison of Neergate was to the state in which it had been described, it was .1 reason why others should not have been sent there, while it re mained in ouch a crowded state. But the law aced custom of l'orliomeist ought to make no distiticiiQu of persona—the only distinction should be between the nature and elisoacter of the crime. If any per sons who hail been committed applied for iriOol.3l on the ground of ill health, he thought suvli act op placation ought to be sereLteLl to.

Sir F. Iltittocrr raid, that lie had witnessed many acts of iiejtestice committed in that !loupe, air support of what were called their privileges, that he was not surprised at the course they now seemed disposed to take.—(Cries of " Order !") The SPEAKER said he was sure the Honourable Baronet moult on reflection be convinc,ed that it would be roue unparlianweitary in hien, while sitting in that Chair. to suffer such expression% to be used without immediately requesting an expla nation front the Member who had thought proper to use them.—/ Hear, hear.) Str F. BURDETT resumed, end said that lie was always reedy, whenever he was contolered.to nate outstrpped the rules of the House, to qualify or explain away any, as in this tustatice, umistentionul violation of strict rule.—(Hear, hear.)—He would proceed to express his opinion that the modo adopted towards the individnal. in the present instance, was one which imposed extreme harrislap. In the first place, he did not think the Home had,given the pamphlet the consideration which they ought. He had looked it over since he came into the. House this tight, acid however gross was time latsgasge of particular passage% and he did not Mein) to defend it, he should still deny the inferences which were drawn front theme It was itapated tat this author MISREPRESENTATION Earl GROSVENOR rose and assured the House. that no one could be less disposed than he was to complain of the practice of reporting the proceed iogs in Parliament, for he was convinced that giv ing publicity to them was one of the most effectual means of preventing any immediate or rudders stretch of authority. As little was he disposed to complain of any error or misrepresentation which affected himself. and far should be now be from drawing their Lordships' attention to this matter, had he not been grossly and scasidalourly misrepre sented on a very delicate subject, wherein be should be most unwilling to be inisunderrtood. Had the representation been of a general nature, had it related to some I ttttt ciple contained in the observa tions he might have addressed to their Lordships, he should nut have taken such notice of it, evert had lie been misrepresented teu times as much lib the paper of which he had to complain was in the habit of doing. The statement to which he allud ed was contained in a Newspaper culled The Cou rier, in which lie utss made to reflect severely upon the conduct of a night Reverend p re l a t e , t h e Bishop of L lon. If ally of the Noble Lords now present hail door bites the honour of noticing what had fallen from hint on that occasion, they might probably retni tuber that so far was lie from ex pressing soy censure that Right Reverend Prelate, lie had actually gone out of his way to eu logire him.— (fries of Ilear, heur.)--lie had called him the honour and pride of the bench Oil which he sat. Upon this point he should trouble the House no further. There however was smother subject to which he would for an instant call their attention. He h4d frequently addressed their Lordships upon the sub ject of Reverstoilary Places, and was rerolved an usually to bring it before the House. Ile held in bus hand two motions, which bring the precise tran scripts of those he had submitted to the House in the preceding Sessiott, lie thought lie might move wi th o ut n otice. They were fur accounts *hewing the number of ',liters granted in reversion. from the Ist of January, 1819, to the latest period to which the account* took lir made up.
