For Le could well ersisceive, that in long trap difficult and datigerriu. jonrisies in hireigsi countries, cir annstaniers and app. attain-es might ari-e, which iii the tranquil doirscs.k circle never did; and that, too, with am- fault or breach of decorum. How then, he would again repe.t, was it possible to know what it was wind, *mold said . " Notate Lords, to convict ots the grounds of 4)(1ft:woos behaviour and improperfamilveriti? Some Noble Lords might convict on one grOuttd, and winer an another. a.id, were it possible to be ascertaier.d, no two of them would be found to vote on the saute grolnds. Some might to be tem,pted tii pass it on the ground 61 expediency ; for whet' the passions were !water!, When the most illuairinus persons in the realm were opposed to each other. such motives operated with the greatest force. They knew t'at she press had dared in this century to say, that if their Lordships d4d convict the Queeu as a crsininal, public Conve nience required their Lordships should make she s 4 idtice. He did not h-l.eve that such motive• would weigh on their Lorikliips' mind, but he was aorry that their Lordships had not cositined themselves to their proper jurisdiction ; and nontithstottiling all the special pleading neon the point of juris diction. he had heard nothing to convince,him that their Lordships did not possess it. He was ?idly sati.fied of their Lordships` competency to try Wn charge of impeachment for immoral acts of Lida'''.

But when he saw the Legialut ore proceeding Jo • ins-Iced divorce, and *hen imputations would :wise for such proceedings, he confessed he thmeglifit would be difficult, for the warmest admirer of their Coparitienots to worlicate 'their Lordships entirely. On Bills of Pains and Penalties be would not long d-taisi their Lordships, rifler what-they hail heard on that subject from his Learned Friend he could have but little to say; but when reflecting on those virtuous protests to which he had alluded. he (Mr. Denman) could Olmost say that the bosom of the Peerage was too deady bought in finding sit ancestor's acme in those majorities. Was that Howse then to share with the people at large their high judicial func tions; fur, after passing thnt Bill, they must send it down to the other House, where it would be de bated on every point, where the witnesses were not to he examined on oath, and where, as was recently observed by a distinguished Member, no inquiry had ever been gone into that they hail not dm graced themselves? I . trould that House then share their judicial powers with every toot' corporate in the kingdom ? (for every one of these towns could mains( t their Members.)

That circumstance threw such a doubt on the principle of the Bill kr. in his 00111 ..... deserved to have their Lordships' moot serious consideration.. In the prreetice of his Royal Client, who slid not hour the beginning ofThis address, he would re peat. that its now endeavouring to avert this Bill. she was departing from no principle that she had hi therto profesied. Her Majesty's wish was for a lair trial ; but she had not wislnd to have as accusation laid on the table of their Lordships in a green bag; srie bud not wished to extend the number of her jitdges to these who could not examine upon oath; owl, finally, her Majesty did not assn the last ten truce should be pronounced by him who had c a ll e d her to her present crud situation. There not only was no incomi.tency in her Majesty's endeavouring to avert! this Bid, but it was her duty to that country of which she was the first sugect, and of which she Might probably 1w the future Sovereigu.

Bills • Paius a n d I'en iltiisa It id betel justified ou the ground of state necessity. but that at ought not to rewind their gross injustice. Its the case of Knight sod fortm,, the ll,suse of Commons bad passed the Bill against than almost by acclamation, and on vending it up to their Lerdships• House, it was only thrown nut by the casting vote of the ' Duke 011 Leeds. The parties were afterwards pro secuted. and were acquitted on the merits of the wee; and thine their Lordships were within a single vote of committing Ito gleringun injustice. But the great Clot. of the Earl of Stretford was fully illustrative of that laxity of conscience induced by views of elate expediency, that very House 1 , 1 Lord. who heel in their judicial capacity refused to find him guilty. did, in their legislative capacity. peas the Bill of Attainder which declared his guilt. That was a proof that views of eipediency would be considered in the decision of such question., setting aside the best guarantee for justice, he meant their Lordships' honour. The Earl was of terwerdt executed, end the toms ite which it was r eco rd e d in hi s tory, held out a lesson of ceution fur the future. When he had been t,,ld of the eller, of Plunkett. Kelly, and. the Bishop or Rochester, be molly had tio idea that *itch infamous injustice had been rommitted till he looked at their Lord ships' Jaurnals. In the owe of Atterhury. the charge was founded on the depioeilions of • penile) who was dead, and whet, the Bishop offered to prove by evidence the falsehood of that depose i on . h e was not allowed lotto so; so dee Crown were permitted to prove by the evidence of a dead mon that which might have beets contradicted by living witnesses. to views or state expediency the goteraints was not guilt or innocence, but whether thr peroon *hoods!, as dangerous, be got rid of altogether; and Bills or Prises and Penalties were the worst mode of in quiry into that expediency. Suppo•iseg that state necessity did justify such Bill., the question was, did that necessity exist in the present care ? If the Bill were passed, might it not reasonably be ex peeled that the orate would be endangered by it ? He did not mean to allude to what was piping out of doors ; lie knew their Lordships would do their duty without regard to such coloideratioas : Fiat jassitia rest certain." Butihe danger lie colluded In was a danger which threaterned . the English Nlonarchy, by exposing it to that greateof er,IN-1 d is puted succession. Supposing qat Bill ponied. and hie Majesty were to marry again, and a child were horn of that mar rine, would not every religious mind scan the veli diev of that second marriage, mud entertain doubts whether that child should succeed ? As a lawyer. lie slid not mood there to deny the power of ate Act of Parieement, bUt *he( he referred to wpa the .pi ',tit or public feeling and opiniosh, which heel cone trolled Acts of Parlioroent. Henry IV. was reeog seised be a valid Act. After the deposition of Henry VI. Itie title was recognised by Act of Par lolinene, mot he believed in the same year that of Edward IV. was also recognised. Ie nine years after Henry was recalled. and his title was de c l are d " undoubted." Proceeding to the reign of Henry VI I I. : his marriage with Katherine ws.dia solved by Act of Parliament, and the issue, Mary, was declared illegitimate ; and within two years the Parliamtut, changing their view of the politic good as the King changed his mind, declared the issue of the subsequent marriage with Anne Boleyn elm illegal, and the children of June Seymour legi timate. Their Lordships would recollect that the marriage with Jane Seymour was ufterwsrda digs. aml that dissolution ratified by Parliament, The King, it was to be observed. did not proceed to divorce one wife till lie hall provided himself with member ; stay. in Katherine's case, he was actually mooned before the sentence of divorce was pronounced against her. After the divorce of Cathee one Howard. the expressions used by an historian, slot suspected of being too severe on Royal failings, were remarkable. Hume remarked, that Henry found he multi not satiate his vengeance so well as by the instrumentality of Parliament. Were (cnienteued the Learned Counsel) was a sneers. loon of Acts of Parliament, each conflicting with the other ; and he nerd not remind their Lord. riMel, that both the children who hied by the Acts been declared iilegitimnte, did afserwards succeed to the throne. What he meant to infer from the recital which he lout made w:,., that where vivre was a ruling opinion, either in the mind of the public or the King, Acts of Purli•- silent had Hot been of force to stifle the succession. Bat supposing there was sin dual): of the totems moo. he would refer to the Resolutions of the (louse of Commons to 18189, and declare, that if scandalous, vicious. and itninorel conduct finfeittd the right to tho.Crewee, die child oldie marriage (winch lie had ( . );eu supte•siog) would also be concluded by it.
