But before he pro- deed further,.lie thought it regularthat the Petition,' and also . the Resolution of that House of the tOth of DeCeinbcr, 1770, should. be read. The Petition was then read, as likewise the ile:sOlution 0.1779, which declared it" highly critnival for any.

' . fur. 48.84;TONSM - Irli then proceeded, but in ed Ipw a .tone as to, 40 sen:cely. audible 'in the. Ga llery we understood him to .state, that, in bringing this question under the consideration of the House, he \vas exclusively a6tUated by a Sense of public duty. So far fr,nn entertaining at.y hostile di.tpo;iition to- Wards the 1-lonourahle Member,. who was particu larly mentioned in the Petition, .he felt the_ highest u_ pt f or him, and Considered hini only as having acted under the airc.t ions of the :Government. The Is e thiJ o , it v,fotild b ii.:ColleEttid; chir ! ..;cid that ,tionO:zal.,ie kr; entleman w h :LT %to t ten to [PRICE SIXPE\`( EC the t arraek,Master-General, dire6ting him to the whole 'extensive influence of the B: do Deem-In-rent, iii 'order, 'to promote the . ' - eleaci ori of the Candidates recommended by the ,M,sei . S; ters kir the represethtatiop. of the County dSooth-.. ampton. This interference was the more extra= .ordinary and unpreCedented, becanSe the innate erice of the Goverty4eia was otherwise very ex.• tensive in that County. The consequence of thiS' letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Bar rack, Master General, end of the aCtivity of that De . - partment, was that an Hon. Gentleman, who had represented that County for sixteen years . with fide.: lily and credit, had been unsuccessful at the last -Elec. tion. .If the Freeholder's of the County had been left to the free, Unbiassed, anti independent exercise.. of their . iinfrages, be was confident that that Gentle- - , man would now. be seated as their Representative in that .Heuse. It was for 'this invasion of their `righti that the Petitioners laid their case before P.a.. , Lament, and w e e anxiously wishing for an oppor tunity- of _proving': the .allegations iii their Petition to that House. They liAd an aniious hope and. wish - that: the. House Wiaald take. such stepi este its_wisdonishould seem nit t, in order to prevent in future the occurrence of such unconstitutioual prac flees, -otherwise the represent:4obn cif that great County would be under the controul of the Govern ment; and ~the, most valuable tightS of the Peoplo would be annihilated: . '.'He trusted that the nolibe • of Cominoes-Watild ever . be ready to resist such justifiapie attempts to` infringe, the franchises. of the- . Eleetor'i, and therebylONlndermine the independenee and integrity of the 'Representative Body at the Na tion. He therefore Moved, that the Petiiion be re ferred to-the Committee of Privileges to examine the matter thereof,. and to report the Seine, . together. with their opinions thereon, to the House. Sir HARRY MILDMAYrcise. to second the 1110= tion of his Hon: Friend, for referring the Petition to the Committee of - Privileges, The allegations of that Petition had been ably-brought Under the View of the House by the -force, the manliness, the_ moderation; and talents of his Hon. Friend. .In . touching :Tort the subject of this Petition, he confessed he felt con siderable difficulty, because of the prominent share he had borne on the occasion AO which ite - eferred, because any- observations he should make upon it might perhaps 'be considered as the result of his feel.. 'ings of disappointment.' Bnt under ail the circnna stances of the case, lC.Obsidered it not only a duty he owtt - to the individuals. - whose- rights 'had been invaded, but a still greater duty to the Houses to the public, and to himself, to trace, to deteel . ,, and to expose - such unconstitutional interference on the part-of his Majesty's- Mipisters. Tliis ititeilgrence - had been exerted in a most unjustifiable and open, wanner on that occasion, not only in defiance of the . principles . of the Constitution, but in the teeth of a Resolution of that House. His Honourable Friend had not, by his Motion, called mPon the House to come to any hasty or premature decision ; ; he had only proposed to them to adopt a proceeding analogous to what Jiad been pursued on a former , occasion of nearly a.sinallar nature. On searching for precedents, however,• he admitted that there were none to be found precisely enalogoui t 9 the present ease. But the unconstitutional interference with the freedom of election was no less a subject of the attention 'of that House. When thii Petition. had been presented, a Noble Lord opposite . (Lord Temple) had statedi, that the Petition had for a long time oCcupied the public attention, and' that much pains had been taken to poiten the public mind upon the subjeet of it. Froni the gestures of the Hon. 'Gentletpen (meaning ; time on- the Trea pay Bfin4.l); be suppOsed they conceived that to have been the c but the statement ups utteili, un supported t* any proof, and, - as far as the Petition.: • ers were Cepeerned, ova; wholly unfOunded iij fact; He was glad that the Petition was it length sUbmit ted-to the consideretion of the House, and he agreed entirely with the Nobly Lord, that if they slionld of substantiating the charges cop tainedip it . , the Whole blame and waisiire should fall upon thein. BLit if they should succeed in provihg the allegatiOni of the Peti.: tion they should ti - i4ke °tit a stronger "ease eyed than. the charges in .the Petition amounted to, he trusted .the Noble Lord . I,Votild agree with aliens that the,House was boUnd 'to adopt some proceeding, with a view to do - justice between the parties--with a view to redeem that salenin pledge whi c h it h a d ei eeri its the Resolution of 1779 = in which it declared a highly criminal in a Minister of the Crown to use the power of his office ter the, purpose of infidene= ing zn EleEtion. He trusted -too, thdt the Noble Lord would not eiwloy the ‘reight of his court and.: frig eloquence, nor the GOveridnetit extend the pro.: testing aheadof its, power,', in 'Order to arrest the measures which might appear to the House neces r sag on such an occasion. And here he wished to advert to certain partieularities in the situation of the County. of Southampton, which rendered the trans-, aCtion still More culpeble. "There no county or e q ual exi o pt, acid wealth, in which the Government,.independeet of the interference com plained of in the Petition, had So much influence as There was_ ii 're OrChurch,collegiate., and copylaild propel-Ili:wire:a gave no right to the elective franchise, in that County than in any athet: of equal extent, consequently' there was leis of free hold property and. fe.Wer Eleadrs. irittgletence, ef Govetniiienti'thereforei stiliek more ell - ea - Wally at the indepeni - lieice of the representation.
