Ile troileded, on former dist:ties:tens, from the Noble Led on the Ward.aek, and front ocher high law authorities in that House, that in a case of the pe (Ain imporraeoe of that adverted to, the pro ceedings of that House should, as far as courcl pro pet be had, he enalageus ro the course of proceed ing, and tit , practice - 4 the Courts below. On that general pound, he conceived it would be pro per t • render their *levant proceedings analogous to tante which obtained, under an Irish Aft of Par liamere, in an Irish Court ofJustice. He had enter * deed hop-s that the Leaenel Counsel would have ' saved him tree trouble of making these observations : that not being the tale, he ter eight it may be ere-diem, that (if what he stated was worthy of at tentien), the attention of their Lordships, and the Learned Counsel, should be called to it in this way ; ' tbey would recollea, that the principal part of the charge tinder consideratien consisted of allegations of wors's or.token by Mr. Inttice Fox. The Mt to which be 'denied, took its rise from a particular occasion, connefted with the conduCt of a person then executing the office of the highest trust and re hpedsbility in Ireland. It provided, that no per son, after tile 24th of Inne, 1795. should be prose• noted for word; spoken, unless information was OVC'n upon oath thereof. within a given rime, &c. Hews% aware this could be nn rule as ro their Lord- Parliamentary proceeding*; but he submitted the consideration, how far, in a case of each peculiar tenure as the pteseat, occurring ie that part of the United Kingdom. and where a question for an ad etess for removal was peridinil, and consid •ring what und ou b te dl y would he the praftice of an Irish Court of lase under the statute, the operation of Sat Act was worthy of attention, with retpeet to the 410 of the Learned Judge. Ilk objeft, in address :4't their Lordships on the subjeft, was, that the learned Counsel may have an opportunity of con 7,ne the operation of the statute alluded to, and sir Lordships of giving that degree of attention a, it, that they should think proper. The LORD CHA NC i.LLOR observed, that an ? ) meinnaturally could n it b e ex p e ll e d f rom hi m , •!leth er the Learned Counsel were aware of the 'ante alluded to by the Noble Marquis. tVith !'neCt to the provisions of the Aft, he thought h - 7 could only apply to those proceedings ineoti"- din the enacting clause With respect' to the Clll - of the Learned Comex!, is rale...nee thereto, e observed, that if they Should think proper to round any question arising out, of the statute, it nodoura, he duly attended, and tAirly con *red he the House.

I understood that if they thought the previsions of the Aa alluded to worthy of their attention ; they should be enti•led to argue upon them. Mr. Justice Fox then made his appearance; the Counsel on both sides having preeiniisiy been et Cie Bar, and the witnesses in attendance—the Learned Judge took his seat on the left. within the newly erecied inclosure below the Bar;—the examination of evidence began. otrestettce to Are eeinione rep ea tedly e e ptc e e e r, the siren language held by Cie high-.t Ie J aqlor.i:, a,d the ()nicht!

The first wiwess brcinght for sv Id. was big. Dieting, a Gentleman of tt.e. Irish BA: * who bad' beta prwmt at the greater pm, if not.thi whelk of the trial of Fletcher, Sharp, and goys, fur mur der, at the Autumn Assizes to 1803, for the clammy of Fermanagh, It was. with re:pet% to the crenduet of ' Mr. Justice Fox,. prin. - 4)41y relative to the Jury on that trial, that the article of, charge, at present under consideration, was founded. The account given by the Witness differed very little, as to the tneteetel substance, fewn. that given by one of the former Witnesses. As the preke e t Witness Wu proceeding in his statement of what had been said by Me. Justice Fox on the occasion; Mr. Adam, leading Counsel for Mr. Justice Fqx, ' interpcsed,.and observed, the Witness had gone and was going isstp a detailed acconnt from bis rv colkEtion of what Mr. Justice Fox said to the Petty Jury and to the Grand Jury, and on diEereat days; this, when it was considered,, that the word. Al leged to be spoken may be of a crimineting nature, involved some degree of embarrasiment. Sonic tee their Lerdships were acquainted with au At of the lite Irish Legislature, containing certain provisions, which, as going to zffeit an examination, such as that before them, may be matter of serious coNi ' derttion. Upon tins groun he felt a degree of embarrassment, and l'e wished to submit to the con sideration of their L vdships, whether, in the si tuation in which he stood, the Aft of the frith Par t amen alluded to. being new to him, he could be duly prepared tp observe upoa tile qaestinn arising out of it, in the way in which It ought to influence the minds bf their L irdseies ; a case, where the words alleged, of a criminetory nature, were spoken a considerable time back. After a few words from Mr. Romilly ; The LORD CHANCELLOR direfted that the Statute Book, con:eiping the Irish Al alluded to, should he handed to the Counsel tor the Learned Judge, Messrs. Adam and Nolan. .titer rennieg vet. the Ada-.. . Mr. A.lam continued--lie "wisliel That his em ber, iernent was removed by a peiusal of the Ad. In the preamble it was set forth, that, whereas there vats no time limited by law for the prosecution of persons for words spoken, Cc:. great inconveniencies had taken place, which would not hive arisen, if such cues wetetried in a short time after. So tar the case in ceiestioti was 2 Teeied ; were it by impeach. anent, it would precisely represent the grievance he had to complain of. Teis was the more to be re. gretted, as he was able to prove by evidence, that, in the loeg lapse of time, t'.e Learned and venerable Judge, for whom he ha d the honour to ap pear as Counsel, had been deprived by deoth a a most important party. In one point of view, the al met the case as fully as if it were expressly named. With respell to the enaaiag part, as he tould infer :rom the hasty perusal, the present proceeding cuss - idered its penal effect sufficiently in point.. W tea lie, submitted was, that an opportunity should be allpwed.. him of consulting with those, who, from their kit e -, curnstances, situation, and emetic:, bad better means of being informed upon the than him self, especially, with regard to the proceedings which obtained, acid the cons:re:foils put ueen the law in the course of praltice in Ireland. Mr. Nolan shortly followed on the same side. Mr. Romiity did rot deem it necess.ry to of fer any detailed observations to their Lordship; upon the subjeft. Mr. Adem, in further ohserving upon the point. contended, that in a cafe where words spoken formed the principal part of the matter in charge, it we.: his duty to bring it under consideration. However, in the present instance, he did not mean to interrupt the examination. Mr. Deering continued his evidence for some ' time longer, after which, he underwent some cross- exerninatioa by Mr. Adam ; some periratlar points in which being objefted to by Mr. Romilly, a short argument took place between the Learned Counsel, tae result of which was, An agreement betwee s them, that any further cross-examination should be post petted to a future day. The nest Witness ca/led was the Solicitor for the Crown an the North-Western Circuit. His name, at we could hear it, was Mr. Galbraith. He stated, he had been in Court during the whole of the trial adverted to. He had taken notes of the evidence hoven upon the trial. It was a general rule with im, to take a note of the evidence upon every case he was concerned in, where it conveniently could be done. Of the case in queetion, be thought, were he permitted to secur to nis notes, he could give a good report of what passed upon the trial ; Le was confident that no man could give a better account of every thing matei eel that occurred. He did nut profess to have made his notes so monosylla bly, as to take down every iota that was said. It seemed to be the sense of their Lordships, that the Witness should be permitted to read his notes as evidence. The Witness, in the outset, answered one or two questions which were put to him, with out re.urring to his notes; on which Mr. Nolan took the opportuaity to remark upon the novelty of a Witness deliverieg testimony, partly written, and partly prear. The Witness then proceeded, and delivered his chief examination, which repeated the evidence ed in the family vault in the Din was covered with lsla,k tell with silver gik rs, and the plate for t rites were performed h r After the interment, s cm , preen the rsLatives of the de er the coin should salmi [de deeper, as it was set Ste e; however, it was tared it to lay the sense, Ami n , td.

Mr. LEICESTER said that he rose fur the pur • pose of stating the grounds on which be should con sitter himself in the disc:large of Iris duty by nega tiving the proposition for an unrachment of the Noble Viscount, and which the H n. Gentleman opposite to him (Mr. Whitbread) had brought for ' ward ; but, previously, he would remark on the ar gument of an Hon. Gentleman, respelling the con ' dug of Mr. Wilson, when he refused to answer in ref rogatories which might lead to criminate himself. The Law allowed him that privilege; and, upon the whole view of that matter, and considerinz Mr. ' Wilson as an unexceptionable charaaer, he did not think that he ought. by a dismissal from his office. to be deprived of the means of subsistence, merely upon that ground. With regard to the immediate subjen beiore the House, Mt. Leicester said he was free to acknowledge, that in the interrogatories put to the Noble Viscount, and the Speech he had deli. vered in that House, no satisfaCtory answer had been giveu on several points, and therefore be thought that further enquiry was necessary ; but beyond that he was not prepared to go. Whets considering the question, whether an impeachment or a crimtnal pro secution were preferable, at became necessary to look back to the past proceedings of the House.-- First of all, a Vote or Resolution of Censure, and that in strong language. was p.tssed. But. upon la - Ain into the evidene • contained in the Tenth Report of the Board set Naval Enqui ry, he could find nothing in it that justified the charge that Viscount Melville had delivered sums of money from the Bank, t .r tae purposes of private emolument, to Mr. Trot e-. Viscoont Melville, on the contrary, expressly stated. to his rumination, that money was drawn ti OM t ie act for purposes of private emolument to Mr. 'fro:- ter, but for the expedience of the pub is servize. Tlenefore, any thing of a criminal nature, upon thus head, founded upon the supposition of a confes sion of Viscount Melville, he could not help think ing, was premature. Then followed the depriv *- ikon of office, and that office, out of the most irn• portant and honourable in this gauntry. viz. First Lord e f the Admiralty—and, solo:et:Neatly, the erasure of his name from-the het of His !Ifsitsby's Privy.

And now comes the enquiry, whither a criminal prose-taints wow not be more expedient, or whether he should not be impeached? But he, fir one, lined n.cit help thirifj ing, that, after the resolutinn for instituting a dill suit, it would be rash and inene-istent'nntir td sly to the Attorney-General, '• You shall ret go on with a civil suit, hut With a erinf:n i rrov - airion e. and that, in conseqeence of what is stated in OM k-port of the Selea Committee.

Ccnr. had stated, that Viscomo Melville rtad•Ottkipsted in the profits of Mr. 'Printer ; het he Wished Mtn to point oat that part of the evidence schieli nrored any such perticip anon ; nor did he (Mr. Leicester) believe that any such participation had existed. As to the 23,0J01. ode half of this was confeeses"y pub lic money ; as to the other half, it is still ernexplain ed. The account which Viscount Melville gives is certainly not setisfenery, no more then that is which seems to rest a good deal wont, the treache rous memory of Mr. Trotter, awe sttpposses it to have been applied to Viscount Melvi'"e'; private use. If, indeed, it had been proved that 'Anse entas.lised be employed for parprisei of steck-jeh's'ne, rd had never been replaced. it would h tee he-ni.iglily criminal, and amounted to an '<press peen! iiiee of the public money ; butt the Linn. Gentlenel'a F' self who made the original Mition, leisr4t ad% vented such 1 charge. Inc Ripon stito - ;;:o:f the contrary, that these sums acen Illy ereeelete'e;3 to the public, but without interest. He ifished the Noble Earl (Temple) who last tight cor.zr:diitesi this statement, had taken the trouble to ermine the evidence. In page 21 of that Repast, Mr. Trotter is asked to whom this 13,0001. had been repeid - r and the answer is This SUM twist have beert'Anz paid to me in my capacity of Peyntaster." And s after ally he woe:1 pat it to the cans:lour of:every man in the ljot.se, whether he did not in I% eon. science belisve that the money so "advanced had been aaually repaid ? If thee_ sums had ant been repaid, Viscount Melville's' crime must hay: been silted peculation and einhezzlement of the pah:ie ;me r e; whereas, he would venture to ray that the ,pubic had not be e n defr a nded so meet as hoe sinele shilling. Much stress, hew:ever,' lad been laid on the sublet iif the releas^ passed between Viscount Melville and Mr. "Prot- tv. But this apnea-:d to him perfetily dear, that it no suspicions had beett entertained of private transecliere between them, tie ground of suspicion would have attached simply \ trans./Eliot'. nor should he have thouglit the... Mere was any thing ettraordinai y in it, althrinell release nut usual was inserted in this release. A antic t 9 deliver up vouchers WAS usual in releases. How came it, then, that instead of such a clad.e. there should be nue to burn vouchers ? This night be re conciled front recallening the distant places et which the parties were at the time e Mr. Trotter in lelnilon, and Viscount Melville at or near Ediaburg!i ; ant therefore it might have been done forth, ;Myna: of saving all farther tratthle As to exeiraeging mulch ers. But, snpposing there had been an exttilliJdi-: nary anxiety to have the papers destroyed, he sektuid ask, whether this paint might nit have !teen I rene effedually secured, if the usual covenant had bceo inserted for the delivery of the papers, • for then the: parties would havegot themienotheirnwn notinsteirin . But with regard to all the cireumexeces respeding the destruCtion of the vouchers ; this was nit sow any new matter, for it was perfenly known at the time the first vote of censure passel ; and therefore.: no argument can be formed on this Emend for the House's now adopting a new mode of proceeding. He begged leave also to recall the recolleninn Gentlemen, when the Right Hon. Gentlemin (Mr. , Pitt) had stated welt great feeling, tbat Flit Me jesty had been advised to strike Viscnent M. name out of the List of Privy C . -dense:loin ; mid he would ask whether this was not understood et the time, as a compromise that no farther pnnish ment was to be ieflicted, but a proseeutiep by s, civil suit alone ? He would ask, whether the ire viteble consequence of a criminal proseeutio . would not be, that the Noble Viscount would be doubly punished by the vi.it.eimi of as Act of Parliament? For, he wined insist. Pion '1:, that punishment had been ' - zesKcteel:' cons:euence of the House, they s tiler prosecution. s on it, that the Hate And !at: le: well.' beta AireAd.; iniEcted.
