MRD 111,LENBORnir:HES SEA.T IN THE CABINET 7 Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE roe to make the Motion of which he had given notice. He began by saying, that long as he had been a Member of that House, 13411 did not remember any occasion on which he bad come forward with greater reluelance. If he had thou,;!:: t' .s au opposition question, er one that could be ~::ritu:c.l to the spirit of party, he certainly would not have been the person to bring it before the flints,: but he could assure the House, he did not consider it .it all in that light, and he was aetuatect in what he did, solely front a sense of duty, and the great regard he had for the Cenisti ration, and the fair and impartial administration of jastice. As a Font that he did not consider it as a p irty matter, he appealed to the Right Honourable tieraleman opposite to him, whether he had :.at mentioned it to him at the time he had no seat in the House ? iadeed. he was the first perion to whom he had mentioned his objefrions, and 4 ommunicated his intention of brinzing it before the House. He was'sorry that a Noble Gil had fixed on the same day for bringing forward the rune stthjeB in another 1-1,1114 e, as it certainly looked as if there were a con - tett between them, and might induce a suspicion that it was a party business ; but he assured the House that he had not the honour of bring known to the Noble E srl, nor had he at all communicated with him on the subjeft. Having premised this, he said, if he had been called on to give his opinion in the Royal Closet, supposing he could be permited to find his way thete, it would have been diametri cally opposite tn, and altogether against this ap pointment. The spirit of party, he allowed, was incident to all free Gov;:mments, and all tree Go. scram...T.li' required an active opposition to their treasures, in sitder to keep up a careful watch, lest tae balance of the Constitution might be injured or Impaired. In adverting to this subjs.& he said, he would give a few words of advice to the Right Hon. Gent. opposite to him !Nl , -. Pim), and in so doing. an seal to hint if lie .Leas not admire the noble saying of Louis the Twelfth of France. who. on coming to the Throne, said, ft A King of France ought to forget the reseatmentssof the Duke of Orleans." rhe Right Hon. Gent. who had so long been the leader of a party. had now become the ruler of a great nation ; but, if he adhered to the sentiments he 6.1 so often professed in that House, he could ern tare to prognosticate. that his continuance in office would be hat of short duration. If, in a farmer Administration, Lord Kenyon had been made a :Member of the Cabiaet, he was sure the Right lion. Gent. would have opposed it; and in doing sn, be should have been happy insiving him his sup- P"tt. Ile sooposed, however, he should have the night Hon. Gentleman's great talents now fumed against his motion. That, notwithstanding, should not deter him f r om su b m i tt i ng i t to t he coasidera. t "!" the House. If his arguments should prevail with the House. tad *hoteld be the means of endue- kg the Noble Lord to withdraw from his present ' situati m, he was sure the Administration would be the stronger lot it, from the effe6l it would have en the public mind. If, on the contrary, the Right Lion. Gent. shoold prevail against him, it would give him and his colleagues an oaportnnity to chew the public s that whet has been done is con sonant to the spirit and principles of the Consti tution, and that the idea which has hem taken up by the public, as well as Isy himself, and othet Hon. Me /hers of that House, is not fraught or pregnant with these ill consequences they have cnneeivel. The Honourable Member then moved, that the I:isly's Speech should be read. which he ntade to both Houses in the first year of his reign, on making the Judges' places for life;" which was done ac cordingly ; and which is grounded chiefly on the importance of making the Judges inaleptndta of the Crown. by making the office, which they then held only 66 eitirante bene pheilo," to continue " qu,m &id se 6ene gessrrint." , On this AEI, he said, he mutt his stand. The chief end and scope of it was to ren der the Judges independent, and to secure them in that independence, by making their salaries perma nent, and thus freeing them from any overweening attachment to the Crown. He insisted, that it was a breach of the spirit of that Aa, for the Crown to grant any office of high honour to a Judge ; which, though no salary or pecuniary advantage war at tached to it, might be produaive of consequences prejudicial to the impartiality and purity of the admi nistration of justice. He had heard that it was a limitation of the pterogative, to call in question this appointment, to which there was no salary annexed; but he should not envy the principles of any one who should tell him that it was right, because nn emolument was attached to it- The King having appointed him Lord Chief Justice, disqualified hint from giving counsel. It was against every principle of common law and common justice, that a man should he judge and party in the same Cause; and that he must be, as a Cabinet.Counsellor, unless on particular occasi nos ,be ithdi etv ; and lipw could it be known he had ssithdrawn ? Besides, if he should con tinue a partner in the firm, though he did withdraw, it would be a good cause for challenge in a jtatrfn:lll; and it was very wrong lie should do that as a judge, which would disqualify him if he sat in a jury-box. He did not well know where to look for precede: is on this subjea. but should protest against all prece sknts antecedent to 1. Geo. 3. There was only one in the reign of Quern Anne, when the Chief Justice did not all, when a member of the Re gency. Blackstone says, that a prosecutor can not 'be a Judge ; but if the Chief Justice have a seat in the Cabinet, he might be the adviser of prosecutions, on which he was afterwards to sit in judgment. He had been told Lord Holt had a place in the Cabinet, but could not hod any authority for it. Lord Hardwicke also had been mentioned, hut there was no proof. Lord Mans field, it is true, was. till 17;5 ; but he w 4: never held a constitutional lawyer ; and had so loth: deli cacy on that point, that he sat in judgment . on Lord G. Gordon, on a trial fur his lire, for the act of burning his, Lord Mansfield's, own house. 'Hie , precedents on the other side, were those of the Star Chamber. Judge Jefferies was a:much a statrsman as a Judge, and every one knew in what light his condua was vi:vie . d. H had no °Meteor., orison ally, to Lord Ellenborcugh ; be thought Lini, the contrary, a vety fit person to be a Cabinet Minis ter; but he is disqualified from being so, by being a Judge at Common Law. Blackstone laid it down as a first principle in the,Constitittion, that the judi. cial power night not to be joined with ether the ex ecutive or legislative. On these grounds he should move the foliowing resolution: That it is tt c onion of this House, that th. arca of a State Nliniatet saould be kept distinct and separ loan toe alike of a Judge at Coated. % Law,'• Oa the question being read from the Chair, Mr. BOND thanked the Honourable Gentleman for having brought forward the motion. as the pro position hid already been argued nut of doors, and made a considerable impression. He was canvinced. therefore, it would be of great service that it should he known t , the public, for what has beea urged on the au! jell, had mot, in reality much force, though it was attended with considerable I.lausilsi. lit y. It had been allowed on all hands, the situation of publia *trails at the present moment called for a union of all the talents in the kingdom, and it was rather extraordinary, that the fit st motion after the appointment of a new Administration, should be to Teatime from the King's Councils, a liable Lord, whose talents were of the highest class, a man of the first professional charaaer, of the utmost probity, and the most unimpeachable integrity, dad in all respells eminently qualified to give advice to his Sovereign, whenever called on so to do. He denied that any ill consequence could ensue by se letting the Lord Chief Janke to he called to the Cabinet Council. If any thing could add to the in dependence of the Nat'l* Lord alluded to, it was the recolleaton that he bad reached the blight of his professional ambition. There was but one situ ation that was hisber, awl chat, by many. seas sot thought so 'goad, becanse the tenure of it was pre carious. He had, therefore, nothing further to de sire, which cool,' he supposed to induce hint to ton near art attachment to the Crown. Besides, the Lord Chief Justize is a charader of that sort, is always so much before the eye of the public in his own Court, and his anions arc all so liable to public scrutiny, that it is impossible a Chief Justice should do any thing wrong, in consequence of his being in the Council. There may be cases of sedition, trea son, and other crimes, which may be debated in Council, and which he will have to sit in judgment On afterwards ; but let it be recolleded, that a Chief Justice does not come to the Office before a certain age ; and it may be presumed that his mind is by that time sufficiently fortified on all great and important points of his profession, and if he should be called to a Cabinet Council to advise on a ques tion of sedition, or any other of the like kind, it is to be opposed he would rather lead the Cabinet, than be led by it. (A tool cry or hew ! heir from Ike 040•01ioit .) The Learned Gentleman re peated what he had said, and added, the opinion he gives, is either what theZ as on, or what they do not; if they as on his opinion, it is the same as if he were not there ; if they do not, his opinion will remain the same as before he was called to the Council; so that he goes to trial with the same im partiality as if he had nor been called on. Besides, be knows, that if he seated that to be legal, which ~,~ was not so, his Todeee, sw , wits, Would cori ea him, and In- wool i be coveieJ with shame, in consequence of such a proceeding. It suspicion be a snfficient ground for the present Mn. don, and the principle n'ojeet of it, he would wish to ask the Hoyt. Gentleman where it would end ? Did he mean to go further ; and would he desire that the Lord should be struck out of the Privy Council ? Would he have him stripped of the Peerage, because he was Chief Justice? He might as well ohjea to both those, as to the situation he holds at present. What is h c situation ;is a Privy Coor.sellor ? He sits with the Mernhers cf the Privy Council; hears far more than a Cabinet Council does ; for the Privy Council have the culprit be fore them, and he would hear evidence, that is never adduced before the Cabinei ; but, it is not merely the case of the Privy Council; the objeEtton lies as stung against all Magistrate's proceedings; for they constantly take examinations of cases, on which they afterwards sit as Judges, at the Quarter Sessions. With regard to the proposition of unit ing the eh:trader of a Judge and a State Minister, the Hon. Gentleman founds himself on a quotation fr.,m Blackstone ; but these words were copied from M•intesquieu, who was a theoretical writer, on the spirit ot laws ; and if lilackstone meant them in a constitittional point of view, he was not crTreft. The Lord Chancellor, he said, was equally liable to the same objeCtion. Ile has occasion frequently to sit in judgment en 11 writ of right, in which a sub jeft is party against the King: If any bias or in. filience can he supposed M such a . chareCter, it is as likely, or more so, to arise in that case as any other. The Lord Chancellor, in all cases tried before the House of Lords, is appointed Lord High Steward ; and before the Statute of William, was invested with the tremendous power of summoning such Peers only as he thought proper, even to so small a number as 16. It is true, the Peers SAC as Jurors ; but the Lord High Steward determines absolutely all points of law ; and aCis, in all respeas, in the ca pacity of a Lord Chief Justice. The- Lord Chan cellor is always one of the Cabinet ; yet no man hitherto got up in Parliament, and stated this as a great evil, that must be wat rid of. He believed that modern times were the best to resort to for constitutional precedents ; but he could riot :Tice to v s () no bother back than I. Geo. la In the reign of Edward I. the Chief Justice wile looked fin in a different light ; instead of any jealousy, it was pro- I Tided, by a legislative measure, that the Chief Justice should be always near the King. to give I him advice. He had heard, that Lord Ha. dwicke was in the Cabinet, before he was Chancellor; he owned, it was difficult to bring proof of it. It is, however, well known, that he executed the offices of Chief Justice, and Lord Chancellor, at the same time ; and though as Lord Chancellor, he had a right to tit hs the Cabinet, yet being Chief Justice, and at the same time sitting in the Cabinet, spewed he thought he was nut doing wrong. It WAS certain Lord Mansfield sat in the Cab; net,from 1757, to I 7C5, a: which time there was a very strong and acute opposition, who found no fsult with his doing so. As to the Al of Anne, Holt, who was Chief-Jus tice, and one of the regency, died before the Queen ; but t'arker succeeded him, not only as Lorti Chief Justice, but 'as one of the regency also, and after "tioing regent, was called to advise with George 1. The statute of 24 Gen. 2 provides for a Case of minority, and to appoint a council of regency ; and In order to fill this up wt::: persons t he country would look op to with satisfaCtion, the Lord Chief Justice was made one. The present King was shoo ()sly thirteen years of age, and in case of a demise of the crown, the Chief Justice might have been a roc::: for five years. Ey the statute of the 3th of the present King, there was another regency, in case of Isis death, to assist the young Prince, then only three years old ; the then Chief Justice was one of the regency, and would have continued so till the Prince was eighteen. This was after the ACI for the independence of the Judges, and vested powers in the Lord Chief Justice much more ex tensive than tiny now vested in the Noble Lord. who is the subje& of this motion. When this Mt was in its passage, it was very warmly debated; and no man, though there were many acute and zealous minds in that Parliament, made any ob jeetion to it. These ails all passed with the appro. bation of the Lord Chancellor ; and af.er so many instances of unbounded confidence in the Lord Chief Justice, it is somewhat extraordinary, that at this time of day we are told, that by the Chief Justice's taking a situation in His Majesty's Coun cils, there is a danger of perverting the ends, and innuting the purity of the administration of justice. The tendency of the motion was to resistive from His Majesty's Councils a Noble Lord, who is pos sessed of a high independent station ; who has a most enlightened mind; and who is in every respell highly qualified to do service to his Country in the present momentous crisis, by his advice as a poli tician and a statesman. It also tended to restrain the Royal ptetogative. The King has a right to cal I r advice from any of his Privy Council. The ar guments in favour of the motion are founded nn theoretic opinions, but on no eonstitutiona: truly r ity on the contrary, the high authorities are all against it. He should, therefore, move, " That the other Orders of the Day be now read." Mr. CANNING said, the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, had admitted the transa&ion which was the ohjea of the Motion, had made a considerable impression, and that the arguments urged against it had much plausibility in them. Parliament ought s therefore, to consider the subjea. After the panegyric made by the Hon. Gentleman on the Noble Lord, and particularly on his independence, he had not said that the Chancellorship was offered to him, though if it had been, he made no doubt, but his independent spirit would have made him overlook the difference between an office for life, and one which might be terminated in a very few years. The suhjee in question, he said, was coo sidered as an objet of political arrangement for the last six weeks. In the course ot a very animated speech, he adverted to the many cases of Lord Hardwicke, Lord Mansfield, and others, in support of his argument. He represented the chingetons consequences of admitting such a praftice where a Judge had ambitious views, as it would be made an object with every aspirinfg dada:: hereafter. de 0- vetted to the responsibitity nt tke Judges placed in such a situation ; and contended, that the case of Lord Mansfield was the only one that could be selied upon by the Gentlemen on !lie ether sic Learned Lord was always summoned to with reprobation, and the judgment of E years convinced him of the ineompaiibiliti in a seat in the Cabinet, and exereisin; of - Chief Justice, which he_confeso;dten when he declined attending . tbsit gosci He concluded a long argument, by con it was repugnant to the character of a J. in, ovation upon the purity of justice. Lord TEMPLE opposed the Motion length ; he animadverted upon the seer ments for it, and adduced several cases to his ; among others, his Lordship ad late trial of Governor Pinon, who was the Noble and Learned Lord in question, he had gone through a previous examination the PrivseCouncil, of which the Noble ' member, In this, as in many other could not be said that the Learned Ju. sed by any previnu ,, or party prejudice.
