.4 reference to the Ipraatice of former'fireasnreraa.e. But on this sulaieta two things: were to be eensider . atel : First, that the case had . been altered •when - the sew proseribed the praCtiee a and neat, that the con , tinuanee of the praelice •was aggravated by'the cir eumstaracee with respect to taa Noble Lord under which the laW had passed.. For what .purpose was an adaitionel salary of 9,0061. given to the Noble Lord, if not as a:compensation for his havieg been &paved of the 'emelmneets arising froth the use of the Public: Money isvdmitted that the Treasurer was not to make profit by the Fublic Money, and is • the-diatinatioe to be 'tolerated that what the law does • not allow to the Treasurer of Nary, shall be permitted to 'the Paymaster ? What is there in the law that does not apply to either as well as to the other? He was sure that the previsions of the law Were equally clear as to bait. Whet the Noble Lord weld have meant by stating he did not know of Mr. Trotter's having derived any profit from . the use of the Public Money, but by his, share of 'the interest it bore When:lodged in Messrs. Coetts's, he could not perceive. The Noble Lord seemed throughout I great part of his speech to argue that Mr. Trot , ,, ter had' not 'derived any private profit in draw ., 'nig the Money 'from 'the Bank; though here 'he admitted it. He had Made a note on the circum stance at the time, but if he misunderstood the Noble Lordate,avas glad to he set right. It appear ed to him, however, a narrow end weak e distirrelion ethat had been put bet Ween the purposes for which the money had been drawn; and the uses to which it had been applied. The. Noble Lord had said, 'that if he had been asked a question direelly, as to thaepoiat, he. could not have had any hesitation in amwering it. The conclusien, therefore, was, that Mr. Trotter had been permitted to draW money from ' • the Beek, for the popose of applying it to the pur po:,:es'of private emolument, "He was sorry to. 'be obliged to State it, ,but this was Pot satisfatory. to him, nor could it be Soto any Pne who looked for •substantial information. He could recellea but one • 1..«. t in Which the Noble Lord appeared to him to he satislaaory, and that was his reason for keeping his • place of '1 reasUrer of the Navy : in Consequence of its h.tving been cotineated With the superietendance of Indian aifl first -which that Noble s Lord had presided over and regulated, whilst ,at the head 'of the Board Controul, ie a Menace most honourable to himself and beneficial to the Country and the Com , pang ; and. here he begged leave to bear testimony, iu ytiStiee , to that 'Noble Lord, to' the purity. end • integrity with which he had administered the affitirs of the India Company during the whole time he . presided oyes them ; particularly in his appointments • •• •to high andimportana OfficeS in that service. He had an opportimity of being a'equainted with many such appointments, where the Noble Lord knear nothing orate person he appointed ,but from his integrity and :ability. e He had heard one person (Lerd Teignmouth), who had'been Governor-General of India, by his : Loadship's appeintrirent, say, that during the whole time of hiabeing inahat important steam he had never been applied by his Lord ship for any one thing as. a 'matter of favour, whidh, could have been irf the Smallest degree disagreeable to `his feelings. With regard to the burning of the Papers, 'and., the Clause in the release for that: purpose, he ob :served, that many thought that a doubtfUl transac tion. • For his own part, if, as it had been put, by the beeped Gentleman (Mr. Leycester), that stood by it' self, and that they had not known of any destruc-: tidn of papers, ho' thought. that it would not 'have given to any snspicion. But he agreed with his lon. Vitend ,(Mr. Bond) who had remarked upon the coiacideirce of the time, and the destruc tibir of the papers; whilst the parties were at such a distance from each other, that this was a doubtful eireninstance. The Noble Lord in his letter to the Comnaisiiioners had stated;that he was in the habit of amusing himself occasionally with 'destroying useless papers,—(4 Mud' cry of No, No ; 'on which• thelion. Member consulted leis copy of the Report) He had mist4en a word. The Noble Lord had stet . ed, that he eMployed hiMself in the occasional habit • of destroying' useless papers. 'When 'these circuit stanceS were considered, it would be impossible to diV,est one's mind,ot the suspicion of some unpeopei• • ety. Bet the topic Itpon which he felt most sensibly,: the article in his Lordship's speech which affeCted lain latest forcibly was ' that in which he spoke of the to,cool. which Iteliad in his, possession when Mr. 'Trotter had been appointed Paymaster. Of the op plicatioe of this sum, he had daclared• that he *mild, give no account to that House, or to any other e.body 'or individual. It Would have been surprising that any inan,should tiatke, such a declaration, but it was particularly astonishing in his Lordship, who was so' welaiiceiratntea With business, stawell versed in 'his= eery, So well skilled in the preCtice of the Galati- - t ateet, so we'll' informed on the gallica of legal daineueeay, and so muCh in the habit of preparing t (lc ma :s of ether's. • What did it amount ; but. :ivo\VJ of a principle,'which, if the Haase vela ; l e to reconase, would put an end to all' the it. e, , of theVonstitution, and the most inva , leavileges Of that lipase. It was the'same 'as' i Ole N ,ie Lord were at once to , say be feeetaa its the law '• I Will be superior to the Con ' s'itW joie I will do that Whieli both prohibit, and TIOL be aeeouutablc to any authority for the t.y43pi's•i;."'

The' Noble Lord had and perhaps another 10,0001. for hr• : - Missed to gut e any,slCrount. - : It was a . ,iii the Constitution to sepeore that any gritty colitd arise - for which it-did not' point out a ely. It was a ptineiple. of our happy, Coh:- that which endeared 'it ntoSt to (,:mhos;atic love end admiration; that it .wits ee ielble of i'Lfour and.secrecy on some bccasiona opeuness alts publiCity iu others.. But the a-e ale Lord- was prevented from any disclosure by aederetions a public honour and private con v+ l ice, When the Noble Lord had accepted of a e•e in 1,13 Country, h e I must have entered into an eition to discharge the dilate of it accor ding to . Whet country, the priuciple he in this instance r.e2ed might be accommodated to, he keew not , I. , ar, sure he was, , that it Was not c.ilettlated for the leridimi of this Country. This breught to his Mind en anecdote' 'of one of _our , 6 , ,vit Princes, who was unpt'incipled unfortuteite, James II.; no, lee meant anotitta' that .was mere profligate -than fortun ate, his, immediate. lai-edeceStor, Chailt 2 IL Who, ,if he.had . the benefit' cif such a prineirte As the Noble Lord, need not have ensployed any Chan . cellor of the Exchequer, or resorted tO the extra ordinary means which fie found necessary to enable him to supply; liis extravagancies. .It could not be true that: such a secrecy was either essential to the dignity. of the Government or the safety. of the Ceentry. The anecdote he alluded to was one which is recorded of the_ observation made by a Mr. Gour nay, cn an occasion of one of the extraordinary means resorted to to extra& Money in the reign of that profligate Monarch. His observation had been, that a King of England, who governed by the Laws, would be the greatest Sovereign on earth, but that if he should not be the man of his People, 'he would be :the Weakest. This had such an etre& on the Monarch aStri put a stop to his eAfOrtions for a time. But they shottld look to the consequences that would result friam the principle of the NOble Lord, the measure of public corruption, secret depravity;. and undue influence, that it would give rise to. The avowal of such tr principle - led one to think that there was something dark and mysterious in the transactions, that woUld not bear the light, and - he 'should only add, 'that the simple declaration of it was big with dangers- which might not be foreseen.; The main question was, in his mind, whether Lord Melville had not been already punished ? and that would lead them t.O consider the nature' and amount of leis Lordship's' crime. ,He had formerly stated, that whether it Were donsiderest resPed, to its, intrinsic turpitude, .or its possible eonse. - quences, it was: a crime cat thegreatestinagnande., With relpea to the circumstances that had attend. ; ed its commissioe, it appeared es wally 'indefensible. - It had been committed by ono aegiutinted with the laws 'and judicial .proceedings of the Country; it had not been' committed in 'a hurry, nor through passion, bUt had been persevered in for Many-years : so . -that it \Vas, eharakt6rised by its intensity, if the expression might he alk4ed, on one hand, and its continuity on . the other. It had been tugedithat the Noble' Lord.h had already sustained much punishment; but it 'was his opinion, that the Striking him out of the List of Privy Councillors was the only pu nishment Which' he' had suffered. The 'Resolu delis that the Hpuse had voted, pronouncing on his coridai, unquestionably fumed no part. of his 'pu nishment, beCaitse they might very properly pre cede the Motion for' Impeachment. And if the Hon. Member 'who bad brought forward-, this Motion had followed up the Resolutions with a similar one, it would hare been right for him to have taken the sense of the House: on the Resolutions first, and then on the queStiensof guilt. Under all the circumstances Of the case, considering that such a crime bad been committed, had been so elucidated, so justified, and se defended, - lie Would rather that they should re , scirleall that had 'been done, and allow Lerd Mel ville to be restored to all his former distinCtions, than that, they. should stop, there, and not adopt any, further Criminal' Presecetion for obtaiding the purposes of substantial .jtistice. It bad been ats. sued by the Learned Gentleman, that the' Criminal. `Proiecution would be inconsistent with the regu larity of their proceedings ; but though there had been a variety in the measures they had, adopt ed, yet that variety had arisen from the different circumstances in Which at different times they had been placed. When the Resqlutions, and the vote for carrying them to the fOot of the Throne, had been voted, the lights they then had were sufficient to justify these proceedings. They had also in view the Criminal Prosecution, and if hia Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Pitt) had intended, by ad vising the name of the Noble Lord to be struck out of the List of Privy Couneillo - rs, 'to defeat the criminal proceeding, he ought to have stated it to the House, and given thefts a choice. In both these cases they had a&ed according to 'the 'lights they had, and in 'carrying up their sense of the condua of the Noble Lord to the Throne, ,they had only discharged a duty as aßranch of the Legislature.— . But he could not' conceive that they by that lire , eluded themSeives froni adopting any further pro, feedings. With regard' to the different mode's of proceeding, he was inclined to adopt . the A.mthig- Meat that had been proposed by. his Right nourable and Learned' Friend (Mr. 'Bond). But he thought that those who were agreed hi snb ltance, should not differ about the 'Manner of attain ing, and he was therefore of Opinion - that hiS Right Hon. Friend' would dO well not to press bin Amend,. ment on the House, because it was desirable that those who were agreed upon the end 'should not appear to din - by about the' Means. 'He should, there fore, agree in the original Motion, though he Wi3 disposed to prefer. the Amendment. He, gladly agreed with his Right Honourable Friend:in his eulogiurns on the' administration of justice in this 'Country he also with, pleasure c„oneuri-ed with his' penegyric on that mode of „trial which was one of the most valuabre rights of the people' of this Country, and rendered its Constitution the most en viable on' earth. He should hope that the Honour ' able Gentlemen opposite .might be induced to adopt. the Amenchnent ; but if they should persist in the original_ Motion, 'he should be obliged to vote for it. He begged pardon for trespaSsing at such length on the House ; but could not sit down without making one 'or two observations On the arguments of the Learned Gentleman who. had preceded him in the debate. . That fAximed Gentleman had said, that if it had been t troved tha the suns of to,onel.' had not been repai , lie should vote forfurther pro- , ceedings. It7appeared, therefere, that his difficulty Was only a question of degree, and resolved itaehf into expediency. If they thought that the punish ' went already mitided was not adequate, they ewere not precluded from adopting further proceed ' ings. The Learned. Gentleman had insisted that no loss.'had bloc n sustained by the Public, ;Edit 'there was one loss which the Public had certainly' sufferNl, in the additional salary of r:0001. that had been granted to the Treasurer Of the Navy, as had,been `stated by the 'Hon, Gentleman, (Mr. Whitbread), in lieu of the profits derived from the use elthe , Public Money. But this he should not dwell oh as.ati item ref loss The great losa was not in' money ; it arose from a cause much More important and deeper, Which . struck at the root of rill those principles' which, by being kept clear and uncontaminated, 'could alone s"(t ire the Constitutiomagainit public corruption, and prevcnt the atleaions of the people frcan.being alien ated 1. - om that Constitution which was so justly the objeel of their admiration. He had but area remark more te make : When Lord Melville allowed Mr, Trotter to draw the Navy Money frem the Emit tor . i ' ' the purpose Of placing if at a, private Banker's to de:. rive profit from a ramcipatio 4 in the. interest of it , , he ought naturally to have warned him against ha- ! zarding the Public Money by speculations in stock, , jobbing,; yet no such evidence has appeared in . the 1 statement of the Noble LordEsVirhen also the Noble ' Lord could, if the case had admitted of it, have justified' his tonditel, and had oraitted• to do so, •he •• - was justified in concluding that he could not. The main question, therefore, for the Honse to ask them selves was, whether, as this Motion had been brought forward, the punishment already inflicted was suf-• ficient, or whether, without conniving at' the con dn& of Lord Melville, they could vote against the nation ?, iHe had been doubtfql at first, but after having heard the. Wence of his Lordship, he , felt that. he had no option. .He thought he under stood from the Learned Gentleman that they, might come at a knowledge of further circumstances rela tive to the 10,0001. by the evidence •of Mr. Trotter, and that alone was sufficient to justify further pro ceedings. If all persons in 'office who had the dis posal or care of Public Money were to imitate the example of Lord Melville, by 'diverting the Pub lic Money to private - purposes, crimes -would 'be ' multiplied, and there - Would-be no end to the delin quency. As to the application of money to Secret Services, he begged to remark, that only 40,0001. , were allowed annually for England, and that : sums voted for Foreign Secret Service Money were to be accounted for by the oath of The Secretary of State that they had•been. expended. If such praetices as formed the Charges • against • Lord 'Melville were to be suffered to pass with impunity, it would be in vain tb adopt or ena& . regulations for the security of the Public Money ar the direetion'of PubliC Of- , flees. Lerd•Melville should account for the' sums of. Public Money which lie received... The Learned Member had said, that his' defence_ had.extennated his guilt; but he was convinced, on the• contrary, • that by it it had• been aggravated. ' - The Learned Genticinan had "ilso;•Stated, that ,this was not a tide ..' . for going into inquiries.;,,but 'it waste be considered, that tfie necessity had been impOsed upon 'them by • _ those .Who would not let them know ghat their guilt Was. He dePended on the strength and resources of the Empire for its ptote&ion, on . the auperierity Of, our~ Navy, and the talent . of • our Forees ;' but he depended more on the affeCtion ,and 'attach- Meat of the People ,of the country, omAieir • leve for the constitution, , and their 'loyalty to' their So vereign,' which would be ensured.more,effeCtuatly, if' they could see that there . Was- • no- impunity Or; crimes coniniittedagainSt the Public, 'apd that their' rights were respeCted, their liberties secured, and, the laWs equally administered on the'eternal 'pritici pies of sound policy and impartial juss.ice. ' . Lord CASTLERE,4G4 felt himself peculiarly called upon to state the grounds on which he must. give his decided, negative.' to the Motion of the Hon. Gentleman. He had :been: anxious • that the question should be discussed by those whopossessed • : great legal and constitutional krioWledge; but. hew - Aver that knowledge belonged to his Hen. Friend - who bad just sat down, he' was, he owned Sur,:. prised at the rnede in Which he had treatOthegula.: sect, to, the disenssien . pf which fie seemed to'hive come for the first time, and of which he appeal : 44i -, have taken the most !antiquated view. He trdsted . the period was now 'arrived when Aheluestion' k•tis ' fully Understood. When the . Honourable Gentle man opposite made his MOtion; lie Was by no meatus aware whether be intended that the measure prci— piled by him should be supplemental • to. - the 'Civil' Suit instituted by, Order of the House, or whether:. it 'was to be a substitute foi that *cm:ding.— The explanation With Which that Hen: - Gentleman • had followed the Speech•of his Hon. Friend behind him (Mr. Bond), sheSVed that he meant the' lattet . 'ln this case the Civil 'Suit ought not only to be sus pended, but altogether abandoned. , On the position ' of his Hon. Friend, that if new Matter had been laid before the House new steps ought tQ'be taken, he was anxious to join ' issue with him, supposing. that his Hon. Friend 'of course meant hew matter; not merely nominally so, but substantial aggra vated matter; sufficient to arrest the' attention of the House, and to ithluce it to adopt that pro-. position, which, when the discussion took place. on the relative advantages of a civil or' a criminal proceeding, his Han.. -Friend had thought it right to rejea. ,Up to the 'present moment every, step taken by the House seemed clearly to indicate, that theyfreliquiShed s all idea of Criminal Prosecution. He was by no means desirous of tying the Hon. Genleman opposite (Mr.' Fox),, down to ,thy .opi 'niens he had delivered ; but certainly, on the . seetind night 'of the debate on this subjea, that Honourable Gentleman had declared, that - if Lord Melville, were removed froM His Majesty's Cinincils and Presence, he ant consider all personal proceed. , inks against hint as concluded, and that-there would: then only remain to obtain•pecuniary justice for the Country. But it' was not on authority however -high and respedtable that he wished to rest theme,. tits of the case, He agreed perfeStly with his Hon. Friend who had . just detiveretylis sentiments, .that the:House might come to certain Resolutions with a View ffti a subsequent InipeachMent or Crimi-' , nal Prosecution ; but he put it to the Candour of ' the Honourable Gentleman who moved those Reso- ' lutions against lard Melville, whether or not he had intimated ,any intention •Of this nature ? He had not done so 3 - ' lie . had • contented' himself with dropping a hint that' , he - would prosecute further in- quiry into that part of the Tenth -Report in which, as he said, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was im ,plic-ated,' and that on 'a future day he would' propose that a Civil Suit should be instituted against Lord . Melville, for, the purpose of reeoVering, from him any profits arising froth the use of the Public Money. By his subsequent `Motion for an Address to His • Majesty to remove Lord' 'Melville from 'his Presence and Councils for ever, he evidently and: avowedly looked fer one punishment, and lie would scarcely violate ' the 'Constitution so grossly as at the same time to have another in his view. The objeet of the . Address was not confined to a removal pending tiny criminal proeedingsagftillAt the Noble Lord. No, on cool del iberatiati ~ after an in terval of three weeks front thepaSsing of the Resolutions., the Hon. Gentleman proposed that Motion, which was to dis Miss Lord Melville from all places of trust and dignity for ever. Nothing could be more clear than that at that, time all idea of Criminal PrOsee.ution Was banished from `the "Hon. entlernati's Mind..
