PARUAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS, TUESDAY, MARCH . Tsar various Bills befne the House were for. warded in their respetaive stages._ The G:eenland Whale FiSbery Bounty Bill was ,brought up from the Commons by Lord - Gt.nr- DERTre, and readkfirst time. Sir W. LEMON, Mr. ASTLEY, and other Gen_ tlernin, 'brought up Private Bills, vyhicll-were alSo severally read a first time, Their Lordships-'postponed-giving judgment re_ lative to the Scotch Appeal Scott v.' Brodie. • The Order of/ the Day was read for . the hearing of Counsel and evidence On Cretve's -Divorce Bill, which stood for a second reading 'this . day ; and 'ac_ cOrdingly, Mr. Adam,. as Counsel for• the 4'eti tioner, was called to the, Bar. _ . This case was.before their.Lorriships last Session, when ri&decision upon the Bill was made. Counsel and eviderkt..viere then regularly heard,. - and at cansiderable length. These proceedings. were . iiluly reported by us; which, in the present instance, precludes the necessity -of detailed statement. - However, for the.inTormationt)f - s - w,ll of Our readers as may not then hake had an oppormrity of per. using our , accounts, or, of those 'whis,:iraiiy possibly b ave.forgotthel circurnstanck, we state Veobriefly the, following: sketch. The Petitioner, Richat7(.ll-Crewe, of Cheltenham, EsqUire,' is younger brother of . john Crewe, of Crewe hall, Cheshi9c, it'appeared was mir riedin November, r780 . ,.' Kkagston in Jamaica - , 'to Millborough Allpress, a daughter of•Saip4l All_ press, Esquire,- of Spanish.:Town. . That the Feti. turner liv-cd with his Lady until Arra, 5799, : when he discovered thai an unlawful intercourse had taken place bet Ween Mrs. Crewe and Sir Henry Charles . Enolefield; Baronet ; that in consequence the Peti . doper .brought his..aaion in the Court of King's Bench against "Sir Henry, who suffered. judgment to go by default ; belt on-a Writ:of Inquiry taking . place, he was_awardeci, 30001. darnaes and costs "; and, in July, ifioo, he.obtaineti - a sentence of di voice a•mensa - et thorn, its the Eectesiastical Courts. These general.taas transpired from the Counsel's stateMent, who argued with . his -usual ability in favour 'of the Petir,ionet's claim to the interposition of the Legislature; and st . ated, that as no decision had taken place last Session respecting a similar Bill brought in cri behalf of the PetitiOner, the rule of their Lordship? proceeding S -required, that the . cise shbuld begin anew, and =tire necessary fat% above set forth, - should be regularly • substantiated again, in evidence. - . , . On/this latter point there appeared tovrevail a degree of difficulty, namely, the necessity tilde tailing the evidence viva vote at the. gar ; that givertin the list' Session haying been printed, and for some time before the House. Some ex planatory conversation. took' Place between , the Learned Counsel and the Loito.CHANCEL.ORupon the point. , The: latter, , in• concluding, observed, that' thougl the reguLtrity of their Lordships' pro ceedings required the orsAutliOn of a new Bill, in conseque.nce of a pi-orpgarion of. Pariiainent• inter vening, yet. that Ifid nor:apply to the evidence, which 3tlA•renailied gobd, as .a :record, before the House. Lord C seeming to _entertain doubts as to this 'point, the Coimsel was .ordeied to, with. draw, And his-Lordship proceecicd .to state his sen ti,inerits upon . the subject: " He. deprecated . at the same time' every unneces . sary degree Of publicity oil such occasions, and adverted to the numerous publiCations of detailed evidence in pamphlets, &c, which were often' llustrated with indecent copper. prates,. and circulated with 'great industry,' to the great injury of public morals, - And the general cor zuPtioh of . the youth of .both: 'sexes. He appre hended it was to ifvOid publicity As . ipicla as possible. *Lit Harries were, Induced often.to let judgment go by default, which precluded the necessity of de. tailed evidence.- llowever, .in , suCh a • Case as the prclsent,' he thought the proceedings should corn_ mefice• de . .novo, tbough on the grounds he had stated; lie seemed to think that .printing the evie dence . aneWi might be dispensed with. - - The LO . RI) . Cl-1/IN6 n. E'LL - OR observed, that the misunderstanding had. ariserfrom - 4ivital Ilad passed, peihaps rather irregularly; irk the way' of conversa tion between him ancl.the tearnecl'coursel. What. ever may be I";l9_lisite as,-tb . the Bill, still the. el:ti •clence given last Session.remained in the nature of a record ; it seas tint only printed and before . the House; but on their Lordships' journals, and...that it existed as,ie'record, nothing - - could more clearly 'prove, thin that the parties weteliable to be in dia4i for. perjury if they 'had swore falsely there in, With reved to the printing •bf the evidence, it was• like every other proeecdingt of .Huuse, a question for the' diScretion their Lordships, when they :should'•authorize, 9r when restrain ; in these vie.tv - 6; the danger of - abuse should be seri ously - considered, and in the instances where that should take place, their Lord Ships ought not to content themselves with -talking abciut it. He agreed with the Noble .Loril, - that trials and cases of. that .nature I'verertoo frequently published and circulated ; not with a view.. to .convey legal inktorti)ation or dot - trine to. the PUblic, but . chiefly for 'the purposes adverted to by the Noble Lard.--- He did vot mean then to alltrde; . in'the least, to the yi;yht dings'in or propriety of publishing the procee fr Cou;ts below, but with that House the case was clearly different, their Lordships were the Conservators of their own privileges. With re -, spe& to the printing of the.evidenee in question, it did not strike hint, that any thing of an indecent nature had transpired, as he should have held it in cumhent o:l`ltinr . to have suggested to their Lord ships, the of abuse in the way he, had state!. There was ore point, however, which fell from _the 'l\T:.:ble Lord, in which he differed most ruaterially froth hint ; and'that wits his obserVation, that in many ca 4 Ses, the motives for letting +Age ment go by default, 'mos to preclude an unnecessary publicity of evidence : On the contrary, it tyks. his most decided opinion, that in nine cases out Of:ten, jiidgment -, was suffered to go by defanit froai - tho. tives . of Collusion. The Counsel was them ordered to the <it.; and being informed it should be optional with him to proceed in 'substantiating his ,- Case, is he thOughi proper, Mr. ADAM observed, that his wish; ai soon - as was consistent with- the, interests of his . Client, was to adopt that course which-should most tend to save their Lordships time, and expence ro the Parties. '. 'After some further conversation it was settled, A {St the printed Evidence - shcsl be• rod over to the res - pctiive Wicncses . (who were, all in -attend-- ance), and just to ask them generally, whether they would repeat the same if : examined a second time. — This line 'of ppceeding, accordingly took place, when the faas above stated again 'appeared, and a variety of cireuMstanceS rending to establish' the , fart of the Adultery. ' When the evidence was gone through, -a -few words passed between Lord CATHCART, the Lord CHANCELLOR, and the - DUKE Of CLARENC 4i . re_ spewing the further consideration of the case, 'and the point of personally examining the Petitioner, Mr. Crewe, who was also in attendance, One of their Lordships having proposed to defer the further consideration : of the Case till Monday, The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his ap probation of such a line of -proceeding, as it :would give their Lordships an opportunity to forni theiropi nions upon the merits - of . the case. • 'On that day it would of course be competent to 4ny Noble Lord to propose the examination of the Petitioner at the Bar,' or, direaly, to move for the second reading of the sill. With 'resped to himself individually; he `would then say, that the inclination of his opinion must Ater considerably in the interval, from what it then w 4, - or - he should have 'to submit. to. the House his reasons why the Bilt should not be read second lime. The farther consit4ration of the Bill was then ordered to be postponed till Monday and their Lordships,:after disposing of some private htisiPess, adjourned rill to.morrow, ifOUSE Off COI7IIGIVS, • TUESIDAY I, M4RCH 9. . . Cot.ortEL LoNGi , ,iz;,o presented a Petition from the Debtors confined for debt in the Gaol of the city of Cork, praying for relief,—Ordered to lie un the Table. A Message from the Lords stated,- that their Lordship's had agreed to several private Bills, Mr. SIMEON' gave notice that he should on 'Thursday next, move for 'leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of more effeanally distinguishing the Industrious Poor from those of other descrip tions; tnd also for cootrouling the accounts of Over, seers; &e. The' Exchequer Loan Sili went through a Com mittee, and the , Report was" ordered to be received to-morrow. SICK,..AND OFFICE: Mr. RORSON said, he rose, in pursuance of his notice, to submit to the House a Motion .9f the utmost impottance. In consequetice of what had Occurred ill the HoUse.upon,a former occasion rela. rive to this subj-eO, he had thought it his duty probe this business thoroughly, and he had dune it in such a manner as he hoped would enable-him, if the .Papers he should move for, were granted, to propose a measure to the House which would pre , vent any thing of th i s kind happening in future.— He.. was sorry this suhjed had. undergone so much discussion, but he was conipelled 'to adopt these steps in his own defence. What he had said , before he would now repeat, for the purpose of prevent., ing his being' mis.understood or mis 7 repttsented. His words had been tortured and twisted, -and con- . struCtiOns put upon them which he neither meant, nor which the words "Would properly bear.—lt must be in the memory of the House, that when this business first occurred, that he had been treated in a very extraordinary manner—that his words were desired' to be taken down—that he was desired to tetrad his assertion—,that he , was called upon t o aft in a manly manner—,-he wasAlesired to 6x, a day for the discussion—in short he was treated as if the . ,Whole of his iisseltii - in liarnot been true; therefore he new felt it his duty - to-,swat f ew wo rds in justiti. cation of his own contioa, and of4he Motion he was : , about to submit to the House. At the commence_ ment of this business . his asse'r'tion was.at first to tally denied—then it was doubted---rtheia - it, was attempted to be evaded. What -had . passed since that time had made it . -necessary for. him, to go-fur cher into the business, beeause a conirrtidionhad _ been. put upon his words, contrary to his meaning— but the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER seemed to be alarmed at the novelty of the fart : he , had stated absolutely alarmed, after being twelve months in Office. The Right Hon: Gentleman assured the House that -it 'was a Matter' of the greatest importance—that he would inquire into it, : and report the result of his il-dried,so,,the House. After four days inquiry, the CHANCELLOR: of the Exc H E Q U E R came down - to the-House , —the CH AN, CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER; who bad-the disposal of Seienty Millions of public money annually, and acknowledged that 'the assertion Whieh he (-Mr. Rossori) had made was true ; but he could, not -but say that this declaration had nor come from the Right Hon. Gentleman in a very handsome manlier; not in the way he expected 'after the manner in which he had been -treated.; for if, what he had said had been the most gross falsehood, he could not have been treated in a worse manner. He thongla it would have been but handsome if the Right Hon. Gentleman had come dowe.thand acknowledged that he (Mr. Rossoti) was right, - and that they wished' they had followed his advice. He was inclined himself-to have : let this Matter drop,'hut alter the . manner in . w.hieh . fie had been accused, he-was corn_ pealed to cornefOrwartl.—He had been accused of asserting the Insolvency of the Country, but if they would giVe - him the Papei& he asked for, he , would • shew that this business , went to extent that called for the interference ,of Parliament. It _was the more necessary to institute. an inquiry into this subject, because the CHANCELLOR of the Ex , CHEQUER had acknowledged that he had found this assert-ion to be true in one solitary instance ; but if these papers. were granted, i he would_ shew that it • , exoted in' many instances, and to the am ount of many Thousand Pound., It had now made so much :?~ "-: noise,. that it called for PaYliattentary inquiry. He hid eEeived lettets front several of ,the most re spedobleWerchants of the City of. LondonAlPort the subjea, and !wiped the City Members - Would' c.omeforwarde irthey were in -the, HOuse, and irate. whether. Government acceptances were considered is good as - those of private Merchants: He would' not at. present -go more at large into the sublea, - - but if-the 'Papers were granted to him, he would be enabled to - VropOse a-measure that he was !sure would meet with approbation, and procure him. the satisfaaion_ of having the - Thanks Of the City of Londotiia At present he ihduld only move, " chat. there' her laid before the House an Account,of all the Bills drawn upon the Sick and Hui Office, their' amount, the time when they were drawn, 'the date of their acceptances, and the • date of 'their pay went.'' Mr. DICKINSON, ,Juti. said, he was much •surprized to find this kind of discussion persisted, in, because it could neither tend to the honour of the - Honourable Gentleman who had brought itforWard p nor could it . produce any public good. The Ho nourable Gentle Man appeared to l m to be ,wrong, in persisting' upon such untenable ground,, and on the other hand, he thOtight it was in the ' tlemen on the opposite' side of the. House to,have• taken 'up this tattiness so striclusly. As to this,, being like an Mt of insOlvency W ; it as no matt like,an - of Insolvency, than it was like-an Aft r for paying off the National Debt, 'What the rm. tives of the Honourable Gentle Man str - ere in bel4 -- . ing forward this business again,' he could - not-tell): but -.he was sure that this consequence would' result frOm it, viz. that it would be bandied about in all the Foreign Journals, in the same way :that it. .had been in those of this Country:-: - 'The coMMon • sense of the people on the Continent was composed of very different materials from the common *tie of the people of this Country, and the former 10 - bk.ed-;. upon .Public. Journals in a very different point - :of-" view from the latter. As therefore 'this Dll - 4ition''' could not beprodudive of any good- whate'vellrlie hoped the Honourable Gentleman woUld The CHANCELLOR - of 'the - . E4CligeUEß‘ , said, he concurred in opinion with. theliontn:frable Gentleman .who •had just sat dots n; that tubre,' pottunee-had been attached to - this.subjed In,. it deserved ; but upon a retrospet of hiS gym condua upon thii transaction, he did not think he . skOuld • have•been justified, either to that House, or, co the Country, ifhe had 'suffered an atsertion,' that aas had been done which induced National insolvency, -to be made, without acing in the manner he done upon this occasion. The Honourable man had not distinguished himself more for, his ac curacy upon this occasion, than he had upon former ones. - The'Honourable Gentleman had stated, that his assertion Upon this subjed had been contradiaed by , him (the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIQUE ),; but he averred, that that was not the case, 'for whatever sentiments he had entertained that- might - be derogatory to what was due .to- any Member_ of that House (if he .had entertained, such sentietients), he had' kept them Within his own breast. *45, sure the House would do him the justice to lea, that he stated that ,an inquiry should be made into the subjed, and that the House should be made acquainted w;th..the • result of the inquiry, be it what it would. -• This sheWedi that he had ribs I spoken :with any absolute certainty upon :he question. He knew that it was not regular 'or' him to.adyert to the assertions of the Honourable Gentleman made upon :a . former occasion, hut upon such a' subjed, he hoped the House would Indulge him. The effect of the Honourable Gen tleman's assettion was, that the Governthent was in a state of Insolvency, because their acceptances were not paid at PoblietOffices. He appealed to every Member -who-Was present, whether this was not the .efFed/of the Honourable Gentlernasfs asser. tion ?. It turned out, upon inquiry, that instead of Public Offers, there was only. one Public Office.; and Oat these acceptances were confined to one'Bill . for 191. ess. 4d: . The HonoueableGentleirum: had not fairly stated his (the CtiANc seeou of thcEx CHEQUE R's) condud upon this occasion,. ' .fie Carne' : . down to the House on . Friday with an intention' of Statingio.oe.4oUse the result of 'his inquirY the • House it 'that 'time was engaged - in a.-'elebtrte .whericit was over, the Honourable Gentletnoti• c ysias not present. Yesterday .he. deferred • big what thought it was'• incutnbent upon. him to state, until the - Order • of ...the Day was' read, for. taking into cOksideration a .Stibjelfaar was.likely to produce•soMe disettsSion. Gentleman then stated, that he (the CHANC ELLt)4' of the EXCHEQUER) had yesterday iieknoi,yledied the fad, not in a very handspme Way. The:lldri, Gentleman was not present, and had not I)ein'acL . curately informed 'of what he had 'said. He (the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER) yesterday . 'stated, than he did. not mean to deny, on the con-, trary, he admitted that itstances • had beeu mune-• sous in which acceptances had not been paid on the •day. •stated, that for some years past it had, been the pradice of Government to pre vet) t large sums Of motley from lying in,. the Inferior Offices; With regard to the Office 'in question, it.camenn-' tier the general department of the treasuret of the Navy. From the advantageotes arrangements of that Office r, no assistance was ever retideredi by, - one afire Infenor Offices to another, though they Might • have money enough in their hands for that purpose, and the refdrd they_ could only apply to the Trea-. sury ; and he would assert, that a single instance - never occurred, in whick application had been made to the Treasury reSpeding Bills of EXchanw or acceptances, in •which steps were not immediately . r . oaken to provide 'a supply. It was the Treasury. that' tbi credit of the Country resided, and it ~must klitetritii)eirery Gentleman, that without providing . profusely, and indeed improperly, it might' happen that tli& tnens'of.paying might not exist immediately at the inferior Public Offices. He had made inquiries from persons , in the Office in question, who .had been there twenty or thirty years, and though cir cumstances of this kind - had occurred, they had not happened more frequently within the.last fdur,years than before. The Hon. Gentleman had asserted that .he was alit, med : he was not alarmed, though he confessed he was much surprized that the Hon. Gen.. tleman should think 'himself - Warranted in accusing Government of Iniolvency,' merely because a Bill' for 191. 1,35. had not been paid the day when it became - due, He'did rifle urea to justify this cit. eunrstance, and he hoped it would not happen d i t but it was a farce to say:it would injure the re. 0 of the Country. Would any Banker ' r efuse to tat , Bills of this kind -. for themselves- or fasts . mers ? Were they not in general reques t ? The 'Honourable 'Gentleman . founded - hiS assertion uPoll a singld instance : he could 'do no' time,and, therefore he was not at liberty to bois l s o 7 up his case' Wiih tircumstancei-that-hareirke - cOa l e . cas e -to' his knowledge. The Hon. Gentleman's must rest uPon the knowledge .he at !he when lie made the assertion ; nothing that he 113 _( 'since 'learnt could - do away the inaccuracy .°O-` his first statement. With regard to the 10° 11° ,1 which had been -made, he put it •. to • the . V (3 e sense of . the House, if any good could arl s u ; ' from agreeing to it. They were - 'not at i s , s a 'upon the. fats, because they-were admitted ; u,. e i he contended that they by no means justified t i ` ri inference that had been. attempted to be dran, more at th at from them. What would be the effea of griin t ' l '' •the Motion Not that of justifying the 1-I°P ;' Gentleman in the assertion he h a d made, be c l s y he had destroyed the accuracy of his statemen t ', re ' -producing a,stngle instance, w h en lie a sserted "l e o were many. .A Motion would , be put Upon tit Journals of the HtinSe 'of Common s , which;•.svi t " e 4it iiroper comment,' would c f t he - of the Country—therefore he should move Ella, .other`-Orders of the day be . read. 1 - Mr. COIJRTTE.VAY said, he wes.serry that -11iy -discussion had taken lace, and he thought ,„„ --hot to be contiooccf.
