I Mr. DAVIRS slid, the Report would be forth coming iii a few m tea. The Report was shortly after presented; it mere ly stated, that Mr. Sheriff Alderson, in answer to the request fur the attendance of the Sheriffs for examination in the Coinutittee, begged leave to de- cline a compliance with this requisition ' conceiving it derogatory to the o ffi cia l s it ua ti on he filled.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. Sheriff ALDEIUMN here addressed the Court. He said, that he rose under sensations of a most painful description. The circumstances on which he was shout to speak, was not only in itself a one, hut one calculated to produce mod) irri tation. The reason why the Sheriffs had declined to attend the Committee was, that they understood • public charge had been brought against them in the discharge of their official duty, and they de sired, on such an occasion, to be publicly heard in their defence—au advantage which they could not so sufficiently have before a private Committee— they therefore preferred a public declaration, with a view to satisfy their fellow-citizens at large.-- (Hear.)—For himself he could say, with reference to the late execution, that he felt in common with every man of character and worth, the painful duty he had to discharge. He had attended, he could assure the Court (as he always would ch.) to the wants and necessities of the unfortunate culprits. lie had given the wretched persons alluded to money to procure what they wanted in their melancholy si tuation, and every other assistance which they or their friends could desire to alleviate their unhappy lot. The charge brought against him, lie understood, ' was, the delay which had taken place as to the hour of execution. True, the unfortunate people were not brought out until twenty-five m tea past right o'clock, and the reason of this delay would, he trusted, prove satisfactory.—The two female sufferers were in hysterics at the exact hour, and if hrought out to execution then, would of course have unconsciously suffered the dreadful punishment of the law. The Court would not, surely. under such circumstances, have called on him to have carried the sentence of the law into effect.—(Hear, hear, bear.)—He hoped, therefore, for the delay, he stood justified in common hit. manity.—(Heer.)--A discretion must be vested with the Sheriffs under such circumstances, and they had no right to be criruivated for a fair exer. cise of that discretion.—(Hear.)—As to the suf ferings. or supposed sufferings, of the unfortunate culprits, all he had to say was, that he never saw the women stir or struggle. from the moment the drop fell. As to the knot of the rope having been im properly placed, or its having shifted ou one of the unfortunate people, it might have arisen from the sudden turn of one of the unhappy females to salute FlAtchusaii ' at the Institut the Ordinary had g iv en the signal for lauuching the sufferers into eternity. This was the explanation he had to offer to the Court ; he hoped it would be satisfactory.—( /)ear, hear.)—lt was always his wish to do his duty with fidelity and humanity, though lie could not but reflect on what he conceived the impure and nu proper motive that led to this explanation. Mr. Caooi warmly retorted on the Sheriff the language he had used at the conclusion of his speech. His (Mr. Crook's) motives in calling for this explanatiou, were like every other act of his life, as pun and as honourable as the Sheriff's, who had so far outstripped the bounds of decency us thus to have impugned them. In what lie had said yesterday he made no charge against the littera'', hut lie had heard that an improper delay took place at the execution. The Sheriff's explanation now *hewed that this was not the case, and it was quite clear no improper delay had occurred. He was not present at the execution. but persons who were there had told him that the mode of 'tutting on the rope was most grow, negligeut, and she - noble. He sow the bodies after the execution, sod they certainly bore the smirks of excessive untpro tracted sufferissg. The Sheriff might have given li.s explanation without the usiliandsoine and im proper imputation lie hail cast un the motives of the person who called for it. Mr. Deputy Blactt was extremely glad to have heard the satisfactory explanation of the worthy Siseriff. whose feelings were highly creditable to I • . It woold storm certainly have been inhuman to have hurried unhappy persons to the iscathild iu a state of iusensibility—(lierto—and it was clear they were taken its .0011 as they could with pro 'piety, for Ilse poor women were obliged to be sup- ported while the !secesarry preparation. were Kohn; on. Certainly the worthy Member (Mr. Crook) deserved no imputation for provoking this inquiry. and if hecould follow it up by ',roving the ruins. ble neglect attributed to the execuisoner i theca would he just ground for a further inquiry. That fact ought certaiuly to be ascertained.—(Near.).— Mr. Sheriff DICIANGES asked, whether it would have been proper to have hurried the utifortunet people from seeing their friends; for the last tin upon earth, at such a moment ? This was the ow,. delay that occurred. A Member said, the other Sheriff had explaine , t the delay to have arisen from the &malts being iii hysterics. Mr. DEIANOES laid—s" Then, if half en makes such a difference, you shall, in the name ' goodness, have them hanged half an hour earh the next time."—(Cries of 41 4 Shame PV Mr. Mates animadverted strongly on the lerif , of the Sheriff's expression, and said, that when Ow Sheriff, in allusion to the form of the application made to him by the Committee, said he thought it calculated to degrade his station, be should have remembered whist he owed to that office himself.— If he took up serious matters with this levity, lie might, perhaps, degrade his Office not a little be fore the close of his Shrievalty.—(Hcar.)—The thanks of the Meeting should be moved to Mr. Sheriff Alderson for his proper explanation, and, indeed, to shew a contrast between his conduct and that of his colleague. The declaratory motion was agreed to, but the motion of Thanks to Mr. Sheriff Alderson was withdrawn after some conversation, in which the Lord Mayor and other Members spoke of their long knowledge of the humanity of Mr. Sheriff Desanges t SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. Mr. WAITMMAN rose to submit the motion he had to make, pursuant to the Requisition by which the Court was convened. In discussing the con duct of Ministers during the late suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, he was aware he could offer no new observation, or say any thing but what had been already better said in other discuelione. It had been truly observed, that the Habeas Corpus Act conferred no new right on the subject. whos e personal liberty was in this eoantry an inherent pri vilege, for without the prottetion of his liberty, his life could not be said to be secure. If any man could have his liberty taken from him witl the opportunity of a fair trial, and being confronted with his accuser, that man could not be said t', exist in a free country. or under crow! laws. In England, Magna Chart* asserted this privilege, the Bill of Rights did the same, and what was called the Habeas Corpus Act was passed in the reign of Charles' IL as declaratory of this sacred subsisting right, in consequence of the minty fla grant violations of personal liberty that had been then committed.
