House not the Committee would in the least degree be bound by the Motion ; a consideration, which he thought it proper should be understood. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the Noble Lord who had just sat down had exactly expressed his sense of the question before the House . The Committee were left at full liberty to proceed as they should think fit, and the House would re tain its option to adopt or rejea the opinion of the Committee. 'ay, as it was not his intention to resist . ; zubsaantiallyi the peculation of what was required t and, for rea sons similar to those assigned by the Noble Earl, should refrain from entering into any detailed considerations of what had been referred to. In doing this, he felt but one reluaance, which wZt, that, as the Noble Earl had avoided speaking of himself as little as possible; and in which he follow ed the same line, which had distinguished ail his life, life, he should have no oppo rtun i t y of reciting eh crimstances, which would redound so greatly to the Noble Earl's honour, in his capacity of Lori Lieutenant of the County of Devon. In another point of view, he was of opinion, that, to enter into the details alluded to, would be improper. as it might produce mischief, bait .could poss, bly produce no gond. Upon that grouad, If ar.'. thing had dropped from the Noble Earl, tending to skew a disposition to make the result a subject of farther enquiry or proceeding, he should have taken the liberty to ask the N o bl e L ord what his intentions on that head were; as he might, according to that answer, find it his duty to lay other documents for the perusal of their Lordships, and to enable them fully to understand the subjeft. His only reason for making these allegations at present was, tnat if, after the required information should be laid before the House, any farther motion or proceeding should take place in consequence, he should reserve to him self the power of moving for any other documents that he might conceive necessary for the full illustra tion of the subjea. With rasped to the substance of the motion now before their Lordships, he re peated, he had no desire to oppose it ; but he deem ed it necessary to suggest an alteration in its word ing, and which, he thought, would be better cal- culated to obtain the information desired. The names of the individuals should not be recited. l'he purpose would be as fully aoswered, if the respeti ive trades and occupations of the individe,ls in question were specified. Their Lordships world conceive, that then persons were dispersed in differ ent dock-yards, and in several parts of the king dom, if at all in the cotmtry. It *Auld answer no good purpose, he thought, to hold flsrth the names of such individuals, as culprits, guilsy of offences year: ago, whose condua since, might be sober, orderly, and unohjeaionable. The number of such persons as might have so re-entered, would answer, wit:tout a specification of their names. He also was inclined to objeff to the word a- mutiny' in the motio-:. As the general charge against these persons might be classed under two head?: the first, that of combina tion for a permanent increase of pay, the appoint ment of delegates, !cc. ; the saccr.d, far the .ISCIRT they had in those disturbances, in the shape of asdi.

E TESCUE bronght forward the Motior, of which he had given notice on a former evening, upon this subjeit. He prefaced k with a variety of observations—a great part of which we were pre cluded from hearing, by the low tone of voice in which his Lordship expressed himself. The Noble Sari calledl to the recolleilion of the House the cir cumstance of the disturbances which took place in the county of Devon, in the spring of the year I SAL ; about which time, a species of mutiny exist ed in certain of His Majesty's Dock-Yards. To these his attention had been called in his official ca pacity of Lord Lieutenant of that county; the then high prices of corn and other articles of provision were held out as the pretext, and, perhaps, might, in some degree, be the cause. In the course of the disturbances, several afls of violence took place, and it shortly appeared, that the parties were ac• tua'ecl by motives iiistinit from those which had been held out as the pretexts. The contagion was spread to the Dock-Yards, where it operated in a manner the most dangerous. In its progress, plans ist communication with the Royal Dock-yards in .ther quarters, an Committees of Correspondence were established, for the purpose of enforcing the claims of the refrallory artificers. He had done whatever lay in his power to satisfy those persons, and to allay the disturbances; it was, however, at the same time, obviously proper to proceed with the utmost caution, afsd, under the circornstitices of the case, he had deemed it expe dient to communicate to His Majesty's Ministers what observations he had made, and the impres sion left upon bit mind. The communication was officially made in the first instance to a Noble Duke. then at the head of the Ho'me Department. It was the wish of Government to avail itself of his local knowledge upon the occasion ; he accordingly gave ev, ry information upon the subjt-9 in his power. It was not his .iotentios then meats up Moir - Lerdships umt: . neither did he think. it seettld be regnlar to enter . into . any details of the transailions alluded to, or notices of the correspondence; at length he re ceived notice from a Noble Earl (now in his place), and then at the head of the Board of Admiralty, that a Commission bad been appointed to enquire into the proceeshngs in question ; and thoroughly investigating the circumstances of the case; the re slot of these enquiries was, as he undertooJ, the dismissal from His Majesty's dock-yards of more than one hundred persons. He had left all his do cuments upon the subjs.ft in the country, not ima gininz the subjeit would ever again be revived. Ile therdore could not speak precisely, but the num ber he believed was from cue hundred to an hundred and twenty ; these men were discharged. and the measure was followed up by sending the names of the culprits to all the other King's, and even to the Merchants dock-yards, in order, as he should ima gine, that they should not be received or employed in them. But he afterwards learned, and he had no reason to doubt the truth of his infor mation, that several of the dismissed Artificers bad been received into His Majesty's dock-yards. He must take it for granted, that the dismissal pro ceeded upon strong and cogent ground;, without which a step, which might otherwise appear tinc tured with cruelty and inhumanity, would not, he believed, be taken. He did not mean to propose any specific proceeding as to the affair in question ; butt he held it 'as a part of his public duty, to call the attention of Parliament to the fait he had ad verted to. He was the farther induced to this, when lie recolleiled the confidence reposed in him on the occasion, by the Noble Earl then at the head of the Admiralty, even under his own responsibility. He repeated his opinion, that neither the Noble Earl, nor any of those respeitable persons, who con stituted the Board, over which he presided, would deprive the individuals in question of their shut tions, without strong and adequate grounds. He was persuaded it had been the result of in. vestigation ; and a convietion, that the continuance of such persons in their situations was. so far, in compatible with the public safety. Under these impressions, he had called their Lordships' attention to the circumstance, and should beg leave simply to move— " That Mr. WILLIANI BETTY, formerly a Storm on t: a Al.d•as ti.tlb'ishowar, he restored t" the Company's Sirii.7t, as a Surgcoa on tnat E.r.tbleshtuent." in ender t determine y such dello, whether three parts in fere of the Proprietor. of the sad Cnenpany, man than be preset et the mut Getters' Court, foment that Hr.

At the same time it was fair to say, that the exertions of the Noble Earl were very well and effeawilly seconded by Lieutenant- General Sinscoe and other officers.

He did not tbifsk the proposed alteration of much importance, and therefore had no ohjedi in to the Amendment. The Earl of S . VINCENT seemed ttithink the proposed alteration would make a very material difference.

Lord KING generally called the attention of their Lordships to the sulijea of which the measure bi suspending the Habeas Corpus Aa in Ireland, formed so prominent a part. He Adverted to the cir cumstance of the Bill being rapidly passed through that House, and contended, that sufficient informlb tion, or grounds, had not been laid before the House for the enaament of such a measure; a btancli u: the information, which, on glancing at the general sub jea. he conceived necessary, respeaed the transac tions which had not long since taken plire At the prison of Kilmainham.

Lord MELVILLE apologised for his absence yesterday. He had been, he observed, out of town, and had not heard of the Noble Earl's intended Motion, in time to arrive at the proper hour yester day. He hoped their Lordships would deem him incapable of any thing that might, however re motely, appear disrespetitul, either to their Lord ships in general, or to any individual Peer ; more especially on a question in which, to a certain de grey, his own coudild may appear to be implicated. Upon the Motion of the Noble Earl, after what he had paused, he (the Noble Viscount) had little to Lord H kW KESBURY expressed his wish, that the Noble Baron would postpone the motion, for * short time, as at present he was not prepared to say whether or not be ought to objea to it.

JUSTICE FOX. Lord WALSl!46l:liii, - as - Eh airman of the Committee, to whom it was referred to consider of and investigate the aarious matters alleged in charge against Mr. Justice Fox, came firrward, pur suant to his notice of yesterday, and of a resolution of the Committee. He adverted generally to the serious and uniform attention which the Lord', Com mittees had paid to the important vibjeet under t:.eir consideration; and in which it • was their wish to proceed in the most unexceptionable manner, AS well with a reference to individual as to public jus tice. Under these considerations k the Noble Chair man moved to the following effeet That the s., i Committee be empowered le reportfrom time to time, respecting the matters exhibited bef,re them, and to state their opinions separately upon any of the Articles of Charge, ii, on due examination thereof, they should find suffi cient grounds for the same. The Earl of CARLISLE expressed his disap probation of the Motion. He was adverse from the mode of offering any partial reports to the House upon the subjvd. He rather thought the Commit tee should be instruCted to withhold all reports until the whcile of the charges against the accused should begone through. The course generally adopted by Grand Julies would be the best to adopt in the pre sent instance, which was to consider of, investigate, find, or throw out all the Bills brought before them, instead of deciding upon any one, two, or three se parate charges of what they might have to consider. He thought the duty imposed upon the Committee, in the present instance, was similar to that wriii:a Grand Juries of the Country had to .fidfil. In con sidering the question then before the House, t'.e si tuation of the accused, one of a very serious nature ought to be considered ; the possibility of his being brought to the bar upon any one or two of the charges, while the rest may be pending or undecided, the situation of the accused person's mind, an such an occasion, was worthy of consideration. Added to this, was that of the contingency c.f his being voted guiltless of the particular charges reported to the House, and no opinion being subsequently stated, or . decision made, as to the remaining charges ; a contingency, which, be thought. in point of fairness to the individual, as well as in justice to the public at large, ought to be seriously considered, and, in his opinion, was worhy of being made the subjeCt of a specific Motion. Lord HAWKESBURY observed, it was certain ly irregular to allude, in the House, to wiia. passrd in dircussion in a Committee, otherwise he migh particularly call to the recolleaion•-.4 the Wide Earl, that the rifolistion, on which the motion before the 1 louse WAS grounded. was not adopted without the most mature and deliberate consideraiori in the Committee. Th- topic now regularly under consi deration was by no means extensive, and its met its lay in a narrow compass. The Motion referred not to any decision if the Committee ; it went to em power them. horn time to time, to report their opi nions upon any, or upon what charge, which they might deem of sufficient importance, to be brought under the consideration of the I louse, with a refer ence to a question, for the removal of the accused. The Motion went not to hind, or in any way pledge, either the Committee or the House, to any specific Or particular line of proceeding. It would be for the Committee hereafter to decide, whether or not they shall make a specific report on any particular charge, without going through the whole. It went to prejudice no p e en whatever, in consideration be fore the Committee. Should they think any parti cular charge or charges weighty enougb fur a speci fic repoit, they would proceed accordingly. Nei ther would the House be affeCied by the . Motion ; it would be at the option of the House, whether a proceeding at its bar should be adopted in conse quence; or, upon its view of the charge, refer it back to the.consisleration of the Committee, or call upon them to state their opinion upon all the charges; or whether a middle course should be adopted: these options would certainly rest in the House and their agreeing to the Motion of the Noble Chairman, would in no shape offal the pro ceedings, either in the way of convenience, or in re ference to the consideration of private or public jus tice. The motion, therefore, which was unani mously approved in the Committee, should have his Betided support. The Earl of CARLISLE spoke in explanation.— He repeated his idea of the possibility of their Lord ships having, in consequence of the report of the Committee upon some particular charge, to put the accused upon his trial; and, in the event of his be ing acquitted, and no opinion or decision beiag given or made, as to the other matters in charge, or, at least, in a way that such could go forth to the world ; such a consideration may operate unfa vourably with resped to the accused. In this point of view, bethought that some proceeding, obliga tory upon the Committee to go through the whole, should be adopted. Lord GRENVILI.E thought the merits of the question now regularly before the House, lay in a narrow compass. He had merely to express his de termination, that if he in the smallest degree appre hended that either the decision of the Committee or the House, upon any particular point, with refer ence to the subjed under the consideration of the limner, were precluded or pledged by the Motion, he certainly should not give his assent to it. No question, as to a report upon any particular charge being specifically made, or a thorough investigation of the whole, was prejudged by the Motion Nei ther would the House be in the smallest degree pre , eluded from entertaining the question of proceeding hereafter in any particular mode.
