The Duke of Morrreose brought in a Bill, lie said, was Conimonly called an indem nity Bill, for indemnifying ail persons also tisuy, since the lit of January, 1817, have wrested sir confined any persons tinder the provisions, of an Act the last Sesmoii. He should only move, that the be intending, on Friday sentimenb respect ' the tiiill tioq matte by _House Lord 'eltpri.i the kurw not Ohy, strangely said was commonly called au Imiespoiny Bill, but to support the objection which bolt been urged Ily his Noble Friend. That °bill-tine bad been answered, like miry others, by overstating its tendency. But his Noble Friend never denied the right of the House of Lords to originate such a Bill—he only questioned the propriety of eiteceisisi g that right 111 the present itestetsce, before they hid known the determination of the Committee apoonitrel by the House of C - Metts. The Noble Earl had suited one precedent, and he wished him jot , ..f it. It was a precedent from the House of (4)141, in Ireland, which had been strongly censured by . the highest authorities in that country, and which di.; raced the ?Atha ment that had supported it. Perhaps, as the No ble Earl had looked to that precedent as a justiti. cation fur the present mode of proceeding, the House might also fool in the present Bill *mile of the Monstrous twoviei tttt a which were contained in the Irish Act. Howie dad not know, an this in:twice, but that the House of Commons were preparing an isupeochnient against the Noble Se cretary of State ; rod if. on such au wrest, their Lordships passed a vote buisourably acquitting the Noble tjearktisry , would it appear to site contitry as as tseilititAisif. fair. and impartial decisiou ?

He %honed it snosla bee well if the Noble Lend had suggested to oue J his colleogies its the House of Commons to otiiimite this Bill there. sod it nut the House should de ftehity by postponing the consideration of the question until tbeh had ascertained the nature of of the Reportthe ouse of Coiumour.

Yesteiday's exhi bition (as he hod read it in the papers) of the self 'widener. was calculated to produce the worst ion ',cession on the spectators.

At 'waret the matter stood before theta only on Mere soriniar. Mr. MACDON ALD slid, he hod good ntithor:ty for knowing that Mr. Rise bud appointed a deputy In the place, and, as to his acceptance of the /doer, the patent conferring it on him would be found in the Patent Other, unless lie would. refuse it, which was not likely. Lord MILTON recollected a writ haying once turd to supply the seat of a Noble Lord, suppoged to be rendered iaeant Le the dsadi of his fatties; Ilis suecesoion, however, tieing disputed, the order was superseded, and it was &Clete(' that no Hwy was done to the Member.

A doubt in point of law had oriseii on the tiial, which was reserved far the opinion of the twelve Judges; he suppoieil there was good reason for the petition, but it was desiratiht the House should lie made acquainted with it, that the culinary might not suppose that tutu guifl of such MD abominable crime were turned loose upon DU.. eiety again. Mr. B. BATHURST replied, that no the law stood there was,no.possibility of convicting them of what they had been charged with. The opinion of the Judges did nut exist in ►uclr a precise shape, as to he laid before the House; hat the recommendation for ttartlon was founded on that opinion. Sir F. iluanETT said, it was important that the opinion should he laid before the noose; it seemed that tier filitnalitita of the law had been overstepped On the occasion.
