Lord ERSKINE snit!, he held in his hand a Prti- . Com from her Majesty the Queen, the prayer of which hr considered both just and reasonable. Op a former oceasi he had exercised his privileges as a Peer, in suppoiting her Majesty's request to be allowpil u list of the svitnesses who .were to be against lwr. It was not for him to set up his individual opinion against the joilginent of the noose, but hr had a tight to say he lamented the decision which their Lordships hail come to on that occasion, I ler Majesty now requested that a ape. titivation of the place or places, where the c 6 - nal act► were said to have lwen committed, shoolil be cot ttttt unicateil to her itlajesty's Aitorisey.Ge moil. If this should be denied, it would he im possible for her itlisj..sty to be prepsreil to meet the accusation, without bringing forward every witness who for the last six 'ems might have bail an o pportunity of observing her Majesty's conduct, This deinalid of her Majesty he was in hopes the House would grant of their free grace, without the necessity of hearing the arguments of • her Majesty's Counsel at the bar. Ile would beg to remind their Lordships that they had now done with analogies—analogies which it was said were at war with equity. He was not presuming to charge an improper allegation. but ns such an alle gation had been made, it was incombent on their Lordships to see that no analogies were followed so implicitly es to be injurious to the ends of•justice. He knew not what places her Majesty hail been in, but it was universally known that she had been iu various places, and it was therefore utterly impossi. hie her Majesty could rebut the charges without the informetion which she now required was given to her. The Noble Lord strenuously deprecated the mode of procedure proposed to be adopted. and he protested from the bottom of his heart. that in his opinion their Lordships, by so proceeding, would take away from the dignity. character, and honour of the House. He objected most strongly to their sending forth to the world testimony (if such it might be called) token without the usual check of cruss.exornination. By the course to' he adopted, their Lordships also would be plac ed m a sitnatiots of difficulty. %Vere they to be abroad and in communication with the world ? If that were the case, and no injury arise to the cause of justice. their Lordships mast be di& fermi from all the *lieu which he bad ever had ex perient•e of its the administration of the law. He declared that he hod nu interest in the decision of the present question, but that their Lordships should continue to maintain the character which they hitherto had of making their tribunal the last and firm support of justice. He duly appreciated the milliners with which the Noble Earl opposite supported Ins oi tttt ions, but he was persuaded that not one of the arguments which he hod brought forward in the other stages of this question would now apply. The Noble Lord concluded by mov ing, that the Queen might tie heurd by her Coun sel at the bar in support of her Petition. The Low) Cliattcat.Loa wished that the Noble Lord flou.xxls said, the Noble and Learned Lord had not stated, and he thought he would find • difficulty in stating why it should be so. though it was the fact, that the preamble of the Bill had not any thing like the precision of an indictment for 'high treason, fur according to the Noble and Learn ed Lord's own shewin t ;. to indictment bore oil the face of it at least one place wherein the cisme was alleged to hare heen committed. But it was impossible, in cases of high treason, to spread the charge over a space of six years, for, according to the Act of Parliament, treason which had slept for there years could not be disturbed. He wished the Noble and Learned Lord would point out any Bill ever entertained by that House, since the era of the Revolution, in which de Ado and de jare the party accused had not a clearer 'specification than what was pointed our by the pre sent Bill. lie wished the Noble and Learned Lord would sheer him any wicks of isuFeactimeitt ao widely worded as the preamble of that Act of 'lament. On a former occasion the Noble and lamed Lord had disclaimed all regard to Bills lef Pains and Penalties. prior to the Revolution. He earnestly wished that the Noble and Learned Lord would lay his finger on any one Act since that time, in which he did not Sod a far more lu minous specification of both time and place than the present Bill afforded to the accused. In the cases of Bishop Atterbury, of Plunkett, and of Kelly. he believed that Committees of both -Houses sat, and voluminous Reports were drawn up, in which the whole uarration of the elle gallons were detailed. and the persons who were afterwards employed to defend those parties at their Lordships' bar were thus furnished with► a specification of the charges much fuller than was to be found in the present Bill. But it was not only to the inure or less of injury dime to the ac cused to which he looked, but 'to the injury which might be done to the character of their Lordships' Howe. He wished to have pointed out what the inconvenience would be of giving a clearer specifi cation of the charge ; he was not sure that it would not be more adventageous fur the person accused to have time allowed to prepare the defence after the Bill should have been' read a second time. But the question for their Lordships' consideration was, which was the most proper mode for the discovery of the truth ?—(Near, heor.)—lt was the duty of those who had refused the list of witnesses, anal who were opposed to the present motion, to prove that that mode of proceeding would be less consistent with the ends of substantive justice, thou the interposition of • great delay between the case of the accusation and the defence. It would add another to the many difficulties of the present proceeding, that in case a majority of their Lordships should agree with Into that a clearer specification was necessary, to whom were they to go for it ? . Their Committee was no longer in existence. The Bill was, by a Resolu tion of that House, to be cooveyed to his Ma jesty's Attorney-General, but he did not find that any pert of the charge was communicated to him ; and when he should appear at their Lord ships' bar in support of the charge. from whence was the specification of those charges to come ? If their Lordship, were to be guided solely by prece dent, the charges ought to be communicated by their Lordships, for such was the course pursued in Atterbury's. Plunkett's, and Kelly's cases, and in which course the House of Commons also con curred ; but in the present instance the whole spe cification of charge was, as it were, suspended iu the air, and they, the prosecutors, were equally ignorant as the accused. He would repeat, the only question was, whether it was more consistent with the ends of justice that • clearer specifi cation should be given. or that their Lordship, should be applied to in the middle of the proceedings, in a way which it would be im possible for them to resist, for a long adjournment. to enable her Majesty to' prepare her defence. It certainly was a secondary consideration, though it ought not to he overlooked, that that course of proceeding would impose upon her Majesty, or, in other words, the country, an enormous and al most indefinite expense; for she would be obliged to call to the bar every person who had witnessed Iter'conduct during the whole of that long period of time mentioned in the preamble of the Bill. The Noble Lord concluded by observing, that it was more consistent with parliamentary usage, mid with analogy alto, to furnish the perrou accused wit►► at general nature required peculiar todidgence, rod he agreed they did ; but the question was. how should that indulgence be grouted a /it ti r Courts below ,the accused never could bete the advantage a hick. in this in-lance, the alltovntice of an intervening period between the accusa tion and the clefehre would give. Ile pot it to the Noble and Learned Lord (Eiaktoe) whether the granting ■ period for the pleparat of the defence Our the purpose of lii. argument. Ire would assume that time would be asked mid grant ed) was hot am extraordinary advantage to the ac cused. That peculiar advantage tile Illustrious Personage hail by the mode of proceeding which had beets adopted. The Noble moil Learned Lord objects that there was no instance of • long adjourn went during a tri.d. Ile (Lord Ltverpool) was aware that till lately Juries never separated. arid stow, as it war considered an evil, it was eticuisiberrit with as matey difficulties as possible; but there was no sort of analogy between that proceeding and the proceedings of their Lordships' flail this been a trial for high treason, their Lordships would have separated, perhaps only fur a week, but still a separation bring oiler rammed, he was at a loss what objection could he made its Ow our case that did taut ryardly apply to the other; it was au inconvenience which arose from the Footsore of their proceedings, mid could tiot he avoided. Hod a list of the witnewirs been given, it would atoll have been cosnpetent to call others. In the cases of Divorce Bills, where the Iloase were di,- , satisfied with the proof which had been given of the adultery in the Courts below, he would contend it was competent for them to cull 'widene~ at their bar to prove a different act of adultery.— According to the speech of her ',Majesty's Attoviley- General, tirade at their Lordships' bar, there wag nu necessity whatever for names of 'assesses, lie knew the whole of the testimony, and the nature of it so thoroughly.

Lord KING put it to the Noble Earl (Liverpool) whether allowing time fur prejudice to work opus. unrelated charges, would nut be to defeat the V I A% of substantial justice ?
