The Local Jurisdictions Act and the Mutiny Act pawed severally through a Committee. were reported without any amendments. and ordered to be read the third time to-morrow, PRIVII.EGES OF THE HOUSE. The Earl of LAUDERDALE theft ruse to propose the Revolutions of which lie had warn notice. He was happy to say that the question to which he was about to call their Lordships' attention lay withiu a very narrow compass; it was so clear, that. as lie conceived, nothing more was necessary than a simple rtatentetit, to convince every one of their Lordships that the act of power on the part of the other House, of which lie complained, was totally unprecedented in the history of Parliament, and of such a nature as to threaten seriously the privileges of this House, if their Lordships did not interfere. When lie had yesterday moved that the House should be summoned for this day, his object was to afford au opportunity of examining the ques tion minutely, and in all its bearings; but its look ing into it hini.elf, he had found it to be more clear than he had at first supposed. The custom and law of Parliament was, that no sums of public money could be raised or disposed of without the consent of the whole Legislature—without the authority of au Act of Parliament. At the same time lie perfectly well knew, that after certain sums had been grouted to the Crown for the support of the army or sissy, or other branches of the public service, it had been the practice to apply parts of them occasionally by Resolutions of a Committee of Supply; but then these Resolua firms were always fortified by a subsequent Act of Parliament : and be apprehended that a Resotutioss of the Committee of Supply of the other Howie, if not followed up by an Act of the three branches of the Legislature, was, on the dissolution of Par liament, but as a piece of waste paper; it had no binding force, and the right and authority to apply money in a particular manner, arose solely out of the will of the Legislature, expressed in its common Act. Hr believed that he liaJ stated the law seminar ly, according to Ilatsell. But here were certain annuities appropriated in particular ways during the life of the late King, hut which had been di. retied to expire on his demise ; and the other House had taken on itself to say, that those pay ments ►hould be continued, which the law of the Lind had pro tttttt need should expire. But in oppo sition to this proceeding, lie could produce a Reso lution of the House of Commons, passed in the year 1784, on the apprehension of a dissolution, which declared, that if any person whatever should dare to appropriate ally rum of the public money after a dissolutiou should have taken place, without an Act of Parliament to authoiire the same. such person would be guilty of a high crime and misde. ineanour, and such appropriation would be an in fraction of the privileges of Parliament and subversive of the Constitution. Such was the opinion of the other Hnu.e thell at that time. Ilia Majesty had now informed the Parliament, by r Aleasage, that it was shortly to he dissolved, and called on the usher House to take such measures as were indispensably itecrtsur), twirler's the terminatiou of the present Session, and the assembling of the new Parliament. The Answer only echoed back the sentiments of the Message. The House of Com mons, therefore, in doing what it hail done, had acted under the impression that it was to be dia. solved, and that provision was to be made for the necessary demands of the public service ; and how had it made this provision by breaking through all law, and vetting at defiance all prevalent, fur they had voted the money required its a Cotn inittee of Supply ; and when he found by their votes that nu Appropriation Act had passed, he was justi fied so raying that it was in violation of all prece. de n t, :rod he defied the Noble Lord to pr4duce 441 one I I instance of it. garnet higig Smokr liar) oceurred in 1807. hut it was without any attempt to eacroach on their Lordships` in Pell& go•—ifer C7fie is as oer fectly different. The line., of Common, now took oil them to dispense a Orr I law. 0 there grounds he begged leave to submit Resolutions. But lie must striven to the snit of dee - price which, jodging from what had taken ph •c- fast meta, the Noble Lord (Liverpool) meant to set toil. If he wi.lied to make his argument good for arty reork, he would be obliged to say, that this House had, on the pre sent occasion, resolved to forego its riwa. privileges, leave it to the other Effuse to do every there, and stand Silent mod iv:lie:se issinerses of 110 War. patters. He had thought ;hilted that his Majesty's Ministers would have been extremely cautions i's iatictioning such an exerci-e 01 power, for 'f those MICI were now crying no sod down through the country the nostrum's of minted preliensents universal suffrage, cosh! suer eed is modelling aa Act of Parliament agreeably to their airtsbna, a n d ',honoring a twat there. one of their bait steps I would be to imitate this measure, sod lb declare that the interference of this Howse its their proceed. loge was useless. The Noble Earl then read his Iteariletions. • The fine stated, that the C' minor's House of Parliament hail voted certain Reece atom., and recited the voles objected to in tow Committee of Supply. The second stated that the House of Commons had affected to grant in a Cotorsiittee of Supply expired anassitiee, to be continued for a certain ileriod, which could only, corroisteutly with conatitue I princieles mid former 'eeecedents. be continued by an Act of Parliament. Tee third imported, that under these circenistances the House considered it its duty to declare, that feeling these proceedings to be iecomieteet with the law and usage of Parliament, and opposed td their privileges, they were yet induced, to comae. (poice of the state of public Weisser*, to roiliese interferiiig in a case which must siotwithstunding be looked upon as an infraction of the best Kiwi.. pies of the Constitution. The last Resolution, the Noble Earl lidded, clearly shewrd that lie was not on this occasion actuate(( by parry spina, or an in tentiou to enlists the measures 01 ins Majesty's Government, but merely Iron a desire that it might not be drives igloo pr. erilent, The Resolutions havirig beau read from the 11%04track, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the Resolu tions proposed threw very great cer4sure mi the House of Commons, viii he was a.rt i drnt that before adopting them their Lordshras would pause, at least till they were convinced that any thing had been done iii the House of Continues which had not been sanctified by its conduct on many reenter occasions, and the approbation, if nut express, at least to be implied from its acqwe-cene, of this House. He thought that there was i ii th is contrary to the practice of that 'terse, or to the principles of the Constitution, as strii)!iditl at the Revolution or downwards. He ap o rt:ienried that there was a clear distinction betweru money to be raised, and money to be graided his supply. It was this, that aiuuce the year 1688, 140 money hail been levied off the public except by authority of the whole Legislature. To such oil extent was this principle carried, that it was applied 141 a loan ; for though that was contracted fur by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and though the first iii- , 444inent was usually paid within u few days, )et is teas depo sited in the Bunk, and 110 ithllliter, he believed, had ever yet ventured to touch a penny of it, till its provisions had been sanctioned by Parl'ament. But with respect to a supply, the practice rasa extremely different. It bad been Ihr piactire of every House of Commons for a number of years to vote sums of money for specific purposes, and these sums had been appropriated accordingly with out any approbation expressed by this House. It was au invariable practice, and sometimes half the supplies granted for the year write slisposed of in that manner, sod without any Act of Par liament, and the resolution of the House of Commons of 1784, quoted by the Ntb!C Lord (Lauderdale) in support of his 'agorae's,. was. in fact, a confirmation of the Usage which lie (Lord Liverpool) was contending fur. For what was its history ? Every one who had any 'acquaintance with the political history of this tummy, knew that at that time it was suppyord to be ti e object of Ministers to diastase the Parliament. It was the wish of the majority of tier floatee of Commons to prevent it. mud therliad irc cordingly passed the Iteßdulaini i t question.— But the very circtonstauce of lion. iiiiaiking it necessary to adopt such a irreveritive iiirasuir, prov ed the preceding usage to have been such as he had described it. It sheaved their einiviciion, that wets it mot for their recorded (minim', the public !Imlay would have been applied after the dissolutiori to specific uses, as it had been be Mee without the authority of all Act of Parliament ; it established that such was the understanding of the Maier of Commons. From that time to the present the uniform practice of ralriljlllielit was us lie haul stated. Certainly an appropriate Act followed ide but in 1784 and 1307, 11104111 had been so appropriated after thr dissolution of Parliament, and according to the Nolde Lorriat argumesit, the whole of it stioubl have been voted over again in the new P.el uncut.-- Where, he asked, was the difterriice of this f ront ordinary cases? If the Treasury eNS every Serisieu empowered to apply money by triter of a Coin. mine. of Supply, which applicatioos were con. firmed by au Act at the end of the Session, did it not come to the same thing whether the Act were passed at the eed of this Seseiote or of the that of the new Parliament ? He could not thiuk the ob jections of the Noble Lord well founded, at the same time he was not unwilling to inert any feu views of the subject. But lie could remedy toe lieve that the Noble Lord hoped the House would agree to Resolutions which conveyed so strong mid direct a censure on the proceedings, iu this respect. .1
