/ ma d t tion.of the penes; measure was to furnish an indemnity in Alinisiers for their illewd nets.— The fact was not so—Ministeas hail not e ' ted one illegal net. Why then, it might he naked, re quire a Bill of Indemnity ? Because it was not i scisisieiit with the safety . of the State, or of Shure who had supplied Government with information to , up pi e ,. the late dangerous ennipiracy, to. have .that information and the authors of it slii.cloiled in Courts of Justice, as it siecessaxily must, if every in lividual who conceived .himself injured in the tat; transactions might be left to bring his action against a. Minister or Migistrate. It was not that *ulster. could not defend themselves in every 111- stance, bait that an allowalice of civil actions would . sacrifice the confidence reposed iu them, and be hay those.who had powerfully contributed to the jut:reused state of tranquillity and security now en inyed—lie said increased, fie he was: far from thinking that security was-perfectly restored. His Hon. Frientl.bimsell might by and bye see the sae- crsiity of cosicealisig the inforination. Disaffection still existed, and, therefore. it would be unwise to disclose that evidence which might still be a mean 1 of suppressing tressonnow, brooded on.

With respect. to Meg's trates, my HOU. sod Learned Friend says, the Bill ought nut to pass, because it appeared from the preamble the) had exceeded the powers prescribed by law. It hod been asserted indeedin newspapers, that Alagistrates bad mitered and searched louses' for librlis ; but surely his HO4l. Friend could not suppose that the. Bill was °wont to protect them ; it was only designed as a protection to *hose who 'forcing' houses for ireasoielok papers. helutigiog ' to person* accused of treasonable practices, and • against whom warrants were issued. To detect such papers the Megietrates might have overstepped the limits of the law—but his Hou. Friend would not say 1 riiitt, therefore the papers ought not to be mixed— t Here Sir S. Romillpinti lathed that Magistrates were justified by the standing law in seizing treasonable palwrs.l—Well then, he would admit that. mid what did it prove? only that the Bill of Indent. nity went to protect men for doing /what was agree able to the law of the land. His Hon. and Learn ed Friend had dwelt at large on the case of Swin e ' dill, who, as described iu the newspapers, was' wired, and his house searched for libellous prodoc. ' Miaow But he would say spilt Shot the.. Bill did ' not defeat' these who searched for libels. Hit Hots. Friend "ad depicted in glowing colours the 1 sufferings and wrongs of that Individual, and he. sought the Rouse act to psss • measure tending to' shelter his oppressors. His answer was, the Bill did not do so. This would be seen front the words of the BM, l 4 treason and treasonable purposes." His Hon. Friepd, hail also descanted on the am biguitrof the word `. 4 such" container' in the. Act ; but Seeking. at ticslatly .aud deliberately, howeter comprehensive the enactment might be considered, • it would include ma,ouch case.

The Hots. Member had hienvelf supplied a precedent is the Acts following . the Riots of 1780. The hi ll 'ty at that tissue given to Magistrates who"' hail laudably gone beyond their legal powers in suppressing lawless tumults, , was a complete optima- Coy for what was 'mow Pitposed. The principle was ullowed by his ilnis. Friend ; the degree of dinger requiring justification was only mistier of opinion., The renisioing object of the Bill referred to the protection or *Mimes.

He bud eis tirely misrepreisented the Hon. Member who had opened •I ise detour; partieularly on the case of Swim. dill. The Ilan. Member bail only stated that as au ittstance.of the great danger of conferring extol orrituary powers on Magistrates. The Hon. and Learned Gentlrtnan's speech was remarkably boo ren of reasoning. and orgutueat. The only ground of argument for the measure throughout the whole of it. was the necessity of coneeisling the evidence given during the suspension ; and the impropriety of betrayiug sources of secret information—an ar gument foe the first titite heard in this caviare, that that information was to be kept sacred sod conceited from the object* who by it had been removed from their families, sisut Np in prisons, - sod ruined in their prospects. It was not fit for any assembly of fair, jurt, on& rational men.. There had been in yenier, in St. filmier-place. a . Iron, whose mouth was Opel' to receive the charges of eecret aceusers. on which that arbitrary Govern- , ment stool to act. What was the difference hewer', nisch conduct and that of the Secretory of State ? Was it possible to endure a modem like that, fruits the effects of which no man could s: sided himself, no ionocence offord serenity ? The Bill was set at 1 ill so confined in its objects, as had licen.iduted ; -I its object was to protect all persons who hid Cons•. spitted any acts against the unfortunate individdals suspected Autism the last fourteen mouths, who. ther actosted by simlice, private interest, or any .1 other motive, fos which, there had been scope enoogli. I It was eaiy to bring accosotions when the accuser i was never to be known. There now was avowed is i system of employing and embodying spies, who for 1 their own sakes would keep, up the trade, and who . were Always to be vereened. All the act* of violenee ?lost had occurred were the effects of institition. Oliver was the source of. ell. There were persons of credit ready to 'give informatiou at the Bar of the , House, that he had . beet) seers in the Park on the i day the Prince Regent-mss smirked. Though this was a* direct evidence that lie had been connected i tit_ covertioneot frotn • the beginning, yet, us I ' inisters bad sit, interest in alarm --applying to itt*he might in a case of doubt, the principle of i foese--it was a joist inference, that lie had been A I ire conittensuced by Ministers, the only pea- iiterested in public disturbaot•es. Against *bit had excited so much disquiet mid disturb awe %brooch the country, why should not actions . be snowed ? Because that would be a disclosure of the informstionthat was no reason—the in jured ought to have legal redress and damages 1 against the itsfotmets, even though the latter should ! be, .iisdemnitied from the public purse. The ' Rennurable sad Learned opener of the debate had sheered that the comae pursued was contrary to the Coronation Oath *ad Magna Charts, which mulcted that justice should not be denied I nor delayed. How culpable then were Ministers I in raining the Crown to violate the Coronation ; Oath ? The Bill was necessary to those who bad I transgressed spinet the rights and liberties of the people. It had been argued on the other side, that because great powers had been conferred, i a Bill of Indemnity tnust necessarily follow. The reverse of the proposition was true, that inquiry i should be instituted into their mode of exercise. The abuser of power were such, that the Bill of Indemnity could not pass--loading men with irons, merely on sccusation—id Scotland after trial and acquittal, solitary conlinetnent —chanting men to- I gedicr—an approximation- to the tyrant of old, who I word to chain together the living and the dead.
