Lying thinised to famish any ad wi.;cli 14101..1 to the authrei.y of Parliament into diserrilit.•l he House having decided that s breach of privilege lira been committed, the Petitioner clone forward and wished to sliew that there wee tint sufficient evidence of los It tying written the letter. This, however. w to n or the case of en anonymous publi cation, which CAMP into the world without any mark by which It could be traced to it* author. if it were not written by Mr. Grady, then there was N palpable Forgery of his signature etfi led to a ter, written on a cnbj ci iii which he was snitch in terested, sod all the memoirs of which he err well acqueinted with.--(Heer; Leer.) —%Vere (senile. Men prepared to say thi.. or coul.l they eli ! ulst that the letter, wind' referred only to this subject, and called on the Him. Member for Limerick to restore the Petitioner's sots to the office of Clerk of the Peace, was written by Thomas Grady, the father? In his mind, no doubt could fairly be e ntertained as to the person who wrote this letter. There woe • circumstance on which perhaps the !Mau, Gee nem! (Sir R. ‘Vilson) could give ham tome mfue. illation, that might tend to set the whole matter at rest. He would ask him, who gave him the tower, continuing the limes of the persons whom it would Ire necessary to examine on the merits of Thomas William Grady's Pension ? Sir ft.

Knowing this fact, he would not let it hr supposed by the world that it Particle or doubt existed as to the person by whom the letter wile wi He world tell the Hon. Member why it was deemed necessary to lobe uo time iu taking the step that was adopted ou Wednesday Meld, and the Hon. Member for Cork Castle (Mr. 134111crc) would corroborate Ins statement. It was merely this—because, older all the circumstances of the case, it was thought advisable to prevent Mr. Grady'fireithdi awing himself from the power of this House, a proceeding which lie feared Mr. Grady might have resorted to. He came now to c.eisider whether Mr. Grady had placed himself in a situa tion to deserve their mercy. He did nut himself, it appeared, view his case in that light. He did not throw himself on the mercy of the House. Ile stated, that he cotictivad the House had pro ceeded on insufficient evidence. lie would most quarrel with him for that. Ile dill not wish parties to bow with pet feet submission to the dictum of the hiousp, if they believed it had proceeded err°. Imously. But it was too much to be told, when he arraigned the decision of the House, that lie bowed to it with respectful submission—(He..r, heue.)— It was said, that the merits of the Petition could not be tried without Mr. Grady's assistance.— Let the House examine what weight was due to phi. statement—let them consider a little what the creme was that hid been made out by the origiend petitienier. It Ira% this—that a coiner tuition took place between the Holt. Member fur Limerick and Mr. C. Smyth, it respectable Bar tester, in I)obliii, which was afterwards reduced to writing by the latter Gentleman. The minnte tit the cenversation was handed to the Hon. Mt inloi for Limettek, and the whole discussion on the Petition would le, whether that minute was or was tint adopted by him ?—(llear, hear hear. I— fie should be gtait to know, thee., %hat part of this case depended ou the evrilesice of Gook, they o ther ?—(Hear,/teur.)--elie should be glad to learn, whether the evidence of Mr. C.

To produce before this House his Stairtnrlat and to bring forward Mr. C Smyth to verify the 'Dopy lie had set forth in his Petition. This certainly wise attributing to the age of a degree of incompetence which it very rarely ex hibited.—( Hear, hour.)--In Iwo Petitiww, tins young luau stated the nature of the office of Clerk of the Peace.

If • File were matt, out, proving, lino a full and fair investigatioo ii,to this traiisaction could not be'olo tamed without the assistance of Nlr. Grady, it would be fit that the Ileum- should art oil It. lint, unless that necessity was clearly shewii, lie thungio they would not do justice to themselves, they did um . reject this Petition. Mr. BOOTLE WI/AMA!! of Ilia nothing which he had heard that etc wog bud the seisallret effect in altering his sentiments eel this case. AII Mr. Grady set forth in his Petition wain, that he had been contest:tied on insufficielit testitllOtw, that of the Nleenlier for Limerick—And that there was no proof of the letter having been intemled foe !Pal, its the Awitcr•rti;dtim was lust, mi d mine was not 1111 , ,lisiarit tit ;I.

Thin the letter was themit far Mr. Qom we* clear, Simile in one part of it the Petitioner said— (Hear, hcar.)—((r conceived the House ou,4lit no longer to &Nit' Mr. Grady in Newgate, m 1 evidence which sin two lawyers in this king-loin would cousi der sit ffi vient.—(//eor, /sear.)— I f he rightly under stood the letter which he held in hie hand, supposing it to Is ire been written by Mr. Grady-(11f which certattily he entertained no doubt)—lie did not think that it constituted a breach of the privileges of that Houses It merely stated the acts of a cor rupt leinher of l'ai 'lament ;i 6 usaisist the privileges of Parliament. He cared not whether the inuenfloer were true or false—he stopped not to inquire into that point—boat, if they were true, he would ally, with dlr. Grady, t'stt H person proceeding in that manner, ought to arouse the shonhering justice of this House, as he had excited the deep indignation of the country. The question was, " Did Mr. Grady mean the letter as a threat ?" He had too liesitutruis in saying, that he did not think it was so meant.—(/fear, hear, hear.) — He would tell the House the reason why lie thought so. A shameful proposition, it was alleged, was made to Mr. Grady by the Member for Limerick, which proceeding, it was st lied in the original Petition, would be proved at their bar by Mr. C. Smyth. Nlr. Grady, it seemed, refused this proposition, declaring, that, by making it, the Member for Limerick haul lowered and debased his charoorter. Mr. Grady afterwards wrote to him to this if et--" Do not deprive my child of ass office belonging to him—if you premise to tel 111111 111 It, I will not do that, which, tinder other circuitintances, I WOlllll, as a public 111311, feel it my duty to slit, %sills respect to any other human brig% bust youiself•-iiiitiely, expose to the world your profligate otier."—(Hear.)—This, he con tended, was the fair and Wirral interpretation of the 'setter, winch did not, in his mind, contain any threat. With all respect for the privileges of the Flume, he knew that they were intrusted to them, not as a scourge, but to be the protection of the people. fie had taken the trouble to go down to Newgate to see how Mr. Goody was situated, and it would, he was sure, give pleasure to the 111111 re to be told, that he could not be placed more conveniently or comfortably; and though lie was obliged to pass the first night without a bed, hi cosisvqueuce of the lateness of the hour he arrived at the prison, he had since experienced every accommodation and atten tion the place would admit of. fie had, however, a further reason for going to Mr. Grady, which was, to examine into the truth of his alleged weakness of sight, and lie hail found there was such strong ground for what he had said, that he was scarcely able to see by day-light. Its looking at a letter, lie had been obliged to hold it so close to his eyes, that there was scarcely any space between thesis and the paper. Except in persons stone blind, he had never before seen so strong a defect of vision. lie held in his hand this document before referred to, I and intrusted to the only individual in the House who could not present it, which, with the perinis 'i an of the House, he should read.—(Read.)—Mr. Bennett then read a letter from Mr. Grady to the Speaker, requesting him, as he understood, from the public prints, that his discharge from confinement had been opposed, oil the ground that his Petition presented the night before conveyed some reflection sin its proceedings with regard to himself, to be lseve that he should be the last person to desire it should be submitted to the House, if he had not conceived it to be couched in the most respectful lan guage ; stating, that die Petition Ewd been composed by him at a time whets Isis mind was incapable of ex. ertiog it; proper faculties. 'teeing been fourteen hours in confinement, without enjoying any rest ; assuring the Speaker. that lie had not the most re mote intention of offendinus the House of Com mons, or committing any b"reacli of its privileges, looking on them as lie dial to he the strongest bul wark of our glorious Constitution ; reminding him that his son, who was pledged to prosecute a most serioti.i charge against a Member of the House within a short given period, had been left without • competent adviser, as he (the writer) was incopeci tined !ruin rensferiug him any assistance in Isis then condition, which would increase his difficulties every hour. He, continued Mr. Bennett, could not but think, that had Mr. Grady been committed to the custody cf the Serjeant at As ms, and had the House curve to die consideration of the question in a cooler temper twenty-four houri' later, he would not have hero treated with so much severity. He should, therefore, support the motion. Mr. B KIS thought it was impossible fur the House tint to have acted as it had done. How the two floe. Members, who had moved and seconded the motion, could have doubted that the letter con stituted a bread' of privilege, was to I • astonish. sag. lir believed one tit' thein haul been in the House tarn the first Resolution, viz. 4. That the writing anti sending of the said letter to the (tight Hun. W. W. Quin. it Member of this House. is • high breach of the psivileges of this House," hied passed arm. ron.—the was before it haul been attempted to fix the writing and sending on 3lr. Grady. The Ilan. Member might surely have that night formed a correct opinion on the nature of a letter which had heels read no less than three times. But besides the writing and sending of the letter, it was his ripiiiims that any Court of Justice would have committed an individual to prison for giving testimutiv 111 the mounter Mr. Grady had dint night at Ilse bar. Much was said on the hardship of coin. pelting an individual to crtoninate himself, but he appealed to every Gentleman present, whether int any charge against the Editor of a Nea roper, or any other person, it was not the constant and uniform course to summon the individual accused to the Isar, and ask him was he or was he nut the person who did so awl so? With rep's' to the opinion ex pressed by the last speaker, that the first letter to the Member for Limerick contained too threat. all he should say was, that knowisig the excellent use derstuoisling possessed by that Huts. Griiilemaii, haul sissy ono told him beforehand that he at such a conclasi tttt t he could tint hat HMI lie z•lintrld leave that part of the fliOli sense and common re:110111.

That Mr. Cilady war the writer of the let ters, was as plain d 4 stay tact ever made out to the till ,afct 101 l of hit salitiessltsliding, toil lie should plot it to the candour of the Members who made and seconded the inatiou, whether either of them could have any doubt of it. But Mr. Grady him self, by quoting a letter from the Member for Li merick, in his Petition of the day before, elettrly acknowledged a correspoodeoce had been carrying on for some time between them, and thus emotes dieted his own evidence at the bar, because he had there dented having written any letters to that Mem ber. The letter referred to, of the 2d Nrivember, was indeed a,vei y proper one s to phew the teniper in which the Member for Limertck wrote at that period ; but coutainiog the expressions—" you say I have given you mortal :otfence"gaud ugaiii—" some lung and rather angry !viten' hive pissed between us"—and it also no/worst ably established the fact of the Petitioner writ log and sending letters. Besides, the writing of the Petition corresponded with that of the letters and the mulles, so thin there could be no doubt but the writing was brought haunt to Mr. Grady. Much stress hail beet, laid on the alleged disadvan tage under which the son would labour in not 114 c. ing the assistance of his Father an conducting what was called his cause ; but was the prevent a cause like that between two private individuals, to be ma naged by advocates? No; it would he carried on by the House, availing itself of the persons mum mooed as witnesses; of whom it ought to be re collected Mr. Grady, the father, was nut one. It lied been well observed before, that the present case had nothing to oho widi the charge against the Member for Limeric4. It was curious that a young man of the ;ige of 23. so long in the discharge of the duties of an lace of ac knowledged importance and responsitoility, should now be finind so incompetent. The House were therefore to put all that ground of liberation out of consideration. At the same time, lie had no objec tion to the House paying every reasonable atten tion to another Petition of a proper description, nor to their deciding on the case with mercy as well as justice. Alderman WOOD was one of those who hail voted for the committal of Mr. Grady to Newgate, be cause hearing it argued by many Gentlemen Oil both sides of the House that lie had beets guilty of a breach of privilege, lie had not presumed to get up his own opinion in opposition to those of so many so much better informed on the subject than he, from his inexperience in such matters, could be. Bat it must be admitted that there were malty similes in breached of privilege. At first, indeed, he had understood from the Member for Exeter (Mr. Comrtenay), that it would be only necessary to secure Mr. Grady ; though, on his being called to the bar, severer measure* were thought tit to be adopted. On reading over, since that night, the letter which was construed to con tain the matter in breach of privilege, he did not look upon it as calling for so severe a punishment, though, as to Mr. Grady being the writer of it, lie could not entertain ally doubt; and it would have been more manly in him to have admitted the fact when examined at the bar, and lie had since told him so in Newgate—(Hear)—whither he had gnus to see how lie was fixed. But the House should lir 'aware of letting the impression go abroad (he did not mean to say there was the slightest ground for it, but too much caution could not be used) that that individual was put and kept in pri son to obstruct the other investigation, and the ends of justice. Ile had indeed solemnly declared to him, that bite euistioement had prevented hint from pursuing such measures for the original in grain', which, as a barrister, he had intended. Ile (Alderman Wood) hoped the House would consi der that the Petitioner had already been punished enough—coissideting his age, the want of u bed the first night—that he had (as lie informed him) been previously labouring under a rheumatic fever, awl the thin state of the Howse when the order for his committal lead hero made. Ile should accord ingly vote for his being discharged. Mr. R. Alamo would feel as strongly disposed as ally Member of the House to act with all lenity towards the Petitioner, hut believing that his Peti tion was nor of that nature winch the established usage of the (louse required, .te could not sup port the proposed motion. He therefore hoped that the Member for Cork would withdraw his motion, and that 'mother Petit 1111 l would be pre. mooed—into/e t helm, hear j —*heti he should willingly agree to the disc!' trge of Mr. Grady. Ile was sure there wad not a Member its the House inure kindly disposed tat Mr. Grady that, the Member for Limerick, sisal be was per suaded that the ittsi iiii tition of the fat lire' iire•riice bring necessaly to the son, would lie au adfhh.awl mauve to that Honourable Gentlemen to soar for his release.

The Report of the Rill fur repealing the Usury Laws was last everiiiig brought up, mid the frit thrr consideration of it postporred to Nloririgy, tlic 1161 h of April. Mr. C. Fluzctitssok made his promised Mot;oil for the eidargetneot of Mr. (ittatt, Irom Sea gate ; but the forms of the Effuse requitifig that a person, circumstanced as Mr. GR4DY i', should first on petition acknowledge his fault, and apologise to ti►e House, the motion was, tor the want of this preliminary step, withdrawn. The powers assumed on certain occasions by ti e House of Commons ate of so undefined mod arbitratey a nature, that few persous would choose to hazard their !feminist safety by venturing to titir tion them. '('hey seen, to be above all law, and contrary to all law, for they constitute the same body —accusers, witnesses, jury, judges, and ear culioners. In a country so clear-sighted no points relating to general liberty as Great Britain hiss ever been, it is strange that such a power has been suffered to grow up. It can be accounted fur solely by the circumstance, that the people in their protracted and arduous contest against the Prerogatives of the Crown, felt themselves idee:- tilled with their Representatives, and did not feel the same jealousy towards them in their pretensions to power, which they imagined must be exercised solely fur the general advantage, as they had been taught to entertain with reGretice to every branch of the Royal authority. The con• sequence now is, that the House of CO11111:014 ex ercise a power over the litre, ties of the subject, which, if assumed by the Crows, would be con sidered fatal to public freedom. Further than this we do not conceive it safe to extend our r. marks, lest it might please the House of Commons to con strue our observations into a libel and a breach if privilege; for, with respect to every other power or authority within the State, the law has, in some degree, defined the point to which the liberty of speaking or writing might be extended; but with regard to the privileges of the House of Commons the law is silent, and the Liberty of the Press, which, in other matters, is the it dent hoist of our country, and the distinguishing proof of our liberty, sinks into nothing before the magic t.nwe of the House of COllllllOll% With respect to the case of Mr. GRAnY, it appears to us marked by some circumstances, if not of severity, at least of precipitancy. The proceedings against hint were commentid and concluded almost instantaneously, and evidence was admitted against Lion which, in a case of libel against the limo, would not have been received in any Court of Justice in the realm. In s.o other judicature would a punishment so severe and humiliating es that of committal to a felon's gaol have been inflicted without an exa mination of witnesses on outh, or without j.eriestr tiog the Driendisist or Cis Counsel to cross-examine them. Yet now the unfortunate man must con fess a fault, and avow the ju‘tit:e of his poshish inent, before he can be relieved! lie was sent 01' with such precipitancy to Neagate, and at so Ito. seasonable an hour, that a bed could not he pro. cused for him ; and thus a Gentleman Hilt/314.rd it years, and accustomed to the ordinary outdid gencies of domestic comforts, was compelled to puss • night in the society of the most dissolute characters, subject to every pessimist income-m -mlre.
