bat wonlol it not look like hypocrisy ? " We would give yop the indulgence yqu seek,- bat we sae tied down-the. precedent will be injurious. Alas ! it is great hardship upon you, but we most not consider you alone ; if we deviated in your case, we should establish a precedent for all." When they talked ' in this manner of the danger and the evil of prece ' dents, what must be thought of their own coma in the Bill now on their table)? Did not their proceeding confound all the ordinary practiersofjoirispruilence ? Heathen could they turn round upon the accused, and make the shiftiest allasioil to adherence to title? Of what role did the Noble Lards talk ? by what title were they hound ? If they leavithe rule, let it hear the trot iii capitation—let it' have sense oust reason with it, and conneziun with the priori odes of justice. It was wisely said, he believed by Lord liacosi—(the Wisdom of the saying at least induced him to attribute it to that great men)— " That the rules and forrus of law were like the rhind sod bark of a tree, which though not a part of it, or of the same substance, yet nourished :nod protected it from the ,weather.' Where were then Mae rules and forms ? He might be told that their priweeding was founded on the necessity of the case —(Hear)—and superseded all forms. Let that be fairly admitted, and let them hear no more of forms and principles, when both alike were banished from their consideration. With respect to what bad fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord, out the subject of any grumbling abont j„he statute for high treason ordering a lilt of witnesses, he (Lord H.) could not, much as he revered the Whig.. and strong as was his bias in their favour, give him the credit of Use enactment. It was in fact a Tory Act; what ever other faults or political sins the Tories had to answer for, they were free from that. There were gloomy curious circumstances connected with the history of that Act. It had early passed the House of Commons, but was rejected, by.the Lord.; they rejected it for two reasons—one was because it had a clause for trying Peers by a Commission nut of their House, instead of by themselves is it. It was remarkable that this Act, which gave an in sliviolual charged with high treason a right to de strand a list of the witness. 4• against him, expressly excepted Pediment itself from being entitled to make this demand in cases of impeachment. The AVAJI.4II why it was grauted to 14 person accused of high treason was, that the law, with its usual ten alerness for the liberty of the subject, considered that all the influence and, authority of power was arrayed in prarcutimis for that crime, and that, therefore, it was necessary to arm the sultject with a tenfold shield for hi. protection. The very saute principle of protecting the week against the strong, governed the resson why the vaine power of denian4g a list of witnesses was not given in C:411411 of inoperwhasetit ; for there, as the object of prosecution was supposed to lie fenced Bound by the armour of power, lie was slivested of that shield which the law with so much considerate propriety reserved for the uoequal corn 'bat of the strong with the powerless, The Noble I,onl then proceeded with great force to urge the m - E...pity of their Lordshipsidopting this motion. They should remember that they were now sitting oft an extrisorolinery and anomalous case of criminal equity. The Noble Earl said. that in the case of high treason alone, a list of witnesses was conceded ; was this so, in fact ? In Scotland, if lie was rightly iooformed, the practice was general ; it was so also in England, by endorsing bills of indictments ; it was so, -if not de jare, at least de facto. Was there one case in one thousand, nay. in ten thou sand, where the party was brought to trial without having had. in one way or another, that infor mation which is now denied the illostrioa pr 41014. age who is the object of their investigation ? 11' hen the Noble and Learned Lord said he would cast aside all precedents before the Revolution, he said Right, for site precedents of bed times and ambitious men were little calculated in cooler times lo invite imitators. But he would ask that Noble Lord, to show him, since the year 1688, two cases in the pa. hamentery history of England (nut to say of Ireland), where the precedent of one was considered the guide of the other. lie conjured their Lordships, as they valued the dignity and im partiality of their proceedings—as they tuteixted them to infliterice and be felt by the public, to admit the present rrquest,which was so well calculated to secure fur their decision confidence and public acquiescence. There was, he said, reason to think, that in the case of the impeachment of the Earl of Bristol, • King Charles the First, then Prince of Wales, was .;. in leave with the Duke of Buckingham. For James then said, .4 Sternly (his familiar appellation of the Duke), you are preparing a rod for your own back ; and you, Charles (to his son), will live to • repent sanctioning such a measure."—Bills of Pains and Penalties proceeded frequrntly on the ground of the necessity of dispatch, and still oftener be ! cause the parties left the kingdom ; but this pro ceeding was instituted because her Majesty had not left the kingdom. In conclusion, the Noble Lord begged their Lordships to recollect, that ibis was an 141104411111 1 11111 paceetlisog, and that, therefore, they ought not to bind themselves down by strict Precedeid, hut at every step of the business to act accordion( to the reason and justice of the case. Lor.f ELLENBOROUGH wed. he could not con nive that their Lordships ought to proceed with nut the light of precedent to guide them.

The Noble Lord concluded by sorting, that he was for adhering to the ;practice of Parlia ment, and to the spirit of the common law, from which the further the House departed, the morr they would recede from the principles of inillartial justice.

The Mattisio of MUTE agreed with his Nei &e Friend, that their Stella in the present instance ought not to be . measured by any preceding ease whatever. Fle•diol not see that her Majesty's object in .praying the House to proceed within 14 hours, was at all contradicted b hir the -list of witnesses. as her Nlajesty ;roust be acquainted (by name st least) with most of them, and iiterefore on a bare inspection of it -much might Air . learned. By the law of Scoothind her Moksty wool entitled, as of right, to a list nf.witriesses;.-awl there was U. person in that Part .of the kingdom but would look on the denial of it as a great iirjustice. - He had no doubt that a list of some sort would he formed j und he put it to the Noll! Lotdr. whether it were not better that a perfect list should .Ire furnished at once. For these reasons he should vote in favour of the Nobles Lord's motion. •' Lord BEiditalfitts supported the nwltton, nod ob served, he wan surprised to hear the Noble Lord speak so lightly of the people by whose exertions the dangers which had threatened the country were successfully resisted. Lord E t.t.ss ammo c explained. The Earl of CAam A lIIION begged of Nolte Lords to refer to the Bill which lay on their Wile, end al though it had proceeded au far, he would defy tiny one to say they understood it. Referring to that part of the Bill which charged her Majesty with her inti macy with Peugami, and having procured foreign order, of honour fur him, he sigma ask, without meaning to . pay any dekseace tr. popular clamour, if these contained any matter of charge? Was there any thing in them fit to bring for ward its a Court of Law? Was it not arraigning all the Sovereigns of Europe who had granted the distinctions al. holed to ? lit abort, looking through the whole of the Bill, he could find nothing of a criminatory nature except that which was (tantalised in She words, "and carried on an viol. Serous intercourse." Ile put it to Ministers to say, whether they intended that as a distinct and specific charge of adol term ? Was it out similar to the phrase of " beasnuable practices," on which charge he wished ter he iofnrmed if any moo cont.! be convicted of treason ? If the Hill did not charge adultery, awl yet operated a divorce, it was con trary to justice, and inconsistent with the religion they professed, which sanesioned no divorce except founded usi adultery. When the Hill was perceives! to be no com pletely confused would it not lead people In think that tlwre was really iso substantive charge, and the design was to effect a purpose by some constructive interpretation ; and if some. thing more distinct were not given Is. which her Majesty might reply, neither the 'oolitic nor the House would or ought to be satisfied. Here was a deal of v.seite matter, charges insinuated rather than preferred ; but in the state the not was now left it was to give the 'censer every advantage and facility that was possible. The Earl of Lauurinamt said be was adverse to the m o: lion of his Noble Friend, because he thought it might de feat the ends of justice. Ilia Noble Friend called upon • them to grant a list or the witnesses, irserving the riglo of calling when not included iu that list. Now lie would pot the case, that a list was given in *lnch were the IMMO , of persons nut intended it, he called, and not to he found, lime would be taken up in the inquiry after thesis ;and afterward., snider the right reserved. the real witnesses might be brought forward, and slots a positive injury would lie worked; be sides, dial they nut thereby give opportunity of tampering wish and awing those witnesses; a ithout oily thing farther of that sort, the Noble Lord thonglit our national character would already collie in tle estimation of the world. It was distinctly upon the ground that the ends of justice might be defeated by is, that hr felt averse to the motion.

The House having gone into a Committee on the Barrack Agreement Bill— Mr. CA LCRAFT wished to ask the Right !Ton. Gentleman ( Mr. Vansitturt) wilstrnumher of acres were to be covered by the barracks, and what was the expense of the wall propoied to be built around it? The CitaNcEt.Lott of the EXCHEQUER did not recollect the exact number of acres. Mr. CALCRAFT understood that the barracks were to cover right acres, while they were meant for the accommodation of only 437 men, and the same number of horses. If the House di.l not sliew iliapositimi to save twenty or thirty thousand pounds. it shoula not be his fault : if he were to divide singly, be was resolved to take- the sense of the House ou the motion. Ai( Toe ii...HANCELLOR of tlitt EXCHEQUER OS we understood) said, that tke building of the barracks would not cost more than .55,0001. and that the space of ground proposed was necessary for exercis ing the men and other purposes. Mr. C. CALvEnT perfectly concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. Friend (Mr. Calcraft), and he felt himself bound to vote against the giant of so large a sum fur such a purpse. Mr. I'. 11 . 11.50 N did not think that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer hail given any satisfactory reason for this expense. Ile would have thought it desirable to have gone on with the former tem. porary barrack from }car to year, in the limw that the expense of erecting a new one might eventually be Rived altogether. Ile should oppose the Inca sore, and he regretted that it had ever beau thought of. Sir H.
