Titers were other,. in which they summoned the only in the first in stance, end afterwards decided upon the nature of the publication. The latter was the course lie meant to adopt on the present occosiou.

The Segalea— ,, Does the Hun.

Mr. COURTEMAY then moved. that Robert Sto. (on be summoned to attend the {Lir au Monday next. On the question being put— Sir Faaacts BuROBTT rose and slid, that it ap peered to him, the House was shoot to place itself ill an awkward pedieuttoript. If this mutton were agreed to. the House would appear in a very extra. ordinal light in the eyes of the country. A few days had only elapsed, since they hail refused the exercise of their undoubted a ill constituti eeee al inqui sitorial power., when called upon far the brink of them. on the part of the whole people of England. The same persons who had so thought proper to refuse the exercise of these functions to the cons. plaining people who demanded ohms. would cow, Ise bad no doubt. consent to apply all the force of their poster at the call of the llossoureble and Learned Gentlemen, to a case, in which, of all others, they should be sileipt. and wherein slime they could not act as un impartial party. In the former case they referred the complainants to seek redress in the Courts of Justice. though their owe. functions were peculiarly aide fur inqui ry into the case; and in the present, where a Court 1.1 Justice would perhaps he the proper place. he load no doubt they would be ready enough toalfued the exercise of inquisitorial functions, which, on such an occasion, it were better to withhold. This was the way to bring that House into disgrace and discredit with the public. It seemed now it could varicose powers of inquiry, in ■ case too where it could lake no evidence. could hear none, uor deter mine pulsar or law whether the matter was li bellous air not; so that, without the possibility of proof, or of attaining the plaits ends of justice, the House would, we its mere vote alone, decide en the stole complexion of the case. This would create, its the result, as much dissittisfactiou as it did in- Jistice. Suppose even the publicatiou tarred out Isi be a libel, was their vote in that House to be the full measure of its punishment ? See theu how the fairness of their proceeding would stand. In the first instance they determined the nature of the of. fence commenced against themselves; secondly, they adjudged their own cause; and then they in flicted their own 'punishment. These were from beg •g to end monstrous and unjust ass 'thous of power, and would, if persevered in, place the House lower (if lower it could be) in the eyes of the country. He admonished the House how it placed itself ins this singular situation. Suppose there exist an offence, bow did calling the printer prove it? But its this case the 'proposition was very extraordinary. They were about to call a printer to the her, to in terrogate him, he presumed, and without pre viously determining whether ally offence had been committed. It would have been but fair fur the Hon. and learned Gentleman who brought for wind this complaint. to have read the whole of the pamphlet, instead of condi • g himself to partici). Isr extracts. The latter may. it was possible, be explained or corrected by taking in the whole of the context. The publication, for aught he knew, may be a libel, for It woo extremely true.—(Cries " Ostler . 1 ") —it was extremely true that the character of a borongli-moriger was the worst and most disgraceful one in the country. if isorticular passages were to be selected front writsm• in this Wanner, objectionable passages of soy tourer erg be culled Irons any. or ks.-11* could read palames from the works of Mr. Burke itifinitely sffloster than Close wlticii were now complained of.
