U N. NUMBER 9597. WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1823 EAST INDIA HOUSE, May 27, 1828. . . . COLONIAL JUDICATURE. Mr. W. HORTON obtained leave to bring in a bill for th e better administration of J ust i ce I n New South Wales ; also to bring in a bill fo r t h e esta bli shment of Civil Courts in the colony of Honduras. CR IM INA L LA WS. Mr. Secretary REEL said, that in the debate of the other night, he distinctly stated the objects of the bills he was about to,' bring in. They were to repeal certain capital punish. meats, and to g i ve to t h e C rown the power of employ ing con. victs in hard labour. In investigating . the subject. he had found two capital punishments not alluded to in the Report of the Committee, but which, standing upon the same principles as the rest, he proposed to have repealed. There was another offence which did not distinctly appear by the resolution* of the lion. and Learned Member, but which was referred to in Ida opening—he meant the capital offence of destroying hop. poles. This he proposed should be punished by transpurta. don. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved for and obtained leave to bring in several bills t o amen d t h e ex i sting laws on the etrtieular subjects mentioned in the course of his speech, SHERIFF OF DUBLIN. Mr. CAI4CRAFT moved the Order of the Day : and the . ... 4ouse having thereupon resolved itself into a Committee, the fon..Member said he wished to ask a few questions of the Right lion. and Learned Attorney General for Ireland, which he preaurned there would be no objection to answer. Mr. PLUNKETT assented, and was then examined in his place by Mr. CALCRAFT, to the following effect never heard it was the practice of the Law Officers to order how to commit. In the ease of Forbes they merely deliveml an opi. nion. The act of committal is judicial ; and the Magistrate must act on his own discretion and responsibility. I think a Magistrate would act irregularly and indiscreetly who ehould commit without examining the depositions himself. I never heard that Major Sirr differed in opinion from the Law Officers. BY Colonel Baithy—Several examinations were taken in the absence of the Magistrates P I do not recollect that they were ordered to withdraw. I believe from Mr. Gray's answer that all the depositions were not laid before the Itiagistmtes. I expressed an opinion to Major Sin that the parties ought to be commi tte d capitally. The taking of depositions, in the ab sence of l‘lagistrates, occurred in a few instances; but this was principally to give inforrention to the Law Officers; and not to adduce evidence on which to commit. In the' committal by Mr. fiabbett, security was given to prosecute; In the commit tal by Major Sirr, there was not. By a exit - tett—l Neve no recollection that the Magietrates were ordered to withdraw. By Mr. lin Ittirr.--Mitjor Sirr never stated any do u b ts to me. I believe GeOrge Graham was committed for a conspi racy to murder. It appears by Mr. Gabbett's evidence thet the persons were so committed under the advice of the Law Officers, and I take it for granted I gave that advice. I be lieve I saw Major Sirr twice. The Law Officers conferred as to the advice to be given. I understood the Magistrates had applied to Government for advice. The opinion* of the bate Officers were founded on the whole of the evidence. Major Sin was aware that evidence had been produced, not exhibited to him, but he might have had access to this evidence bed he pleased. Mr. Gabbett saw the whole evidenee, and bound the parties over to prosecute. We thought the offence amounted to a capital offence. believe Forbes was released in the course of the night on which he was apprehended upon balk The published account of the t r i a l s i s to l erably correct.' The ac culled were given in charge on all the informations at the same time. By Mr. BENITZT....Some of the itfaistratee hold th e i r offices at pl easure , M a j or S i n does not, I believe. By Colonel ilaartY.-1 thought certainly that all the 9 . aminations had been laid before Mr. Gabbett. By. Dr. LUSHINGTON.—I do not know that all the exam!. nations were taken on the same day. I had no share in taking the examinations, and can therefore 'speak of them only by con jecture. By Sir JOHN NEIrPOnT.—I have occasionally had applici tions from country Magistrates as to the sum necessary to !ie taken as bell in ordinary cases. By Colonel Baany.—As to the particular pereons in ques tion, I gave en opinion that they ought not to be bailed at all ; the charge being capital. By Arr. ELLia.—The accused were afterwards held to beif by order of the Court, to simmer informations to be filed effet e wards by me. I must decline answering whether I think an A ttorney-Gen era l h as a r i g h t to call for bail to answer an infefe-: mation to be tiled afterwards. Mr. GRATTAN suggested the re-calling of .fir Abraltere King; but atter a few words from M r . ;.secretary Peel, he abandoned his intention;" Mr. CA LORA PT begged to know whether the Gallant Colonel had any morawitnesees to call on the part of the Sheriff. Colonel BARRI' eaid, that he would act according to the pleasure of the House; but he conceived that the OM of the to procure information. He wLshed to take till to-morrow to consider as to the course he should pursue. Mr. liiTTLETou explained. Mr. PHILLIPS thought the Bill was likely to produce an effect directly the reverse of that expected by the Hon. Mover. Mr. Husicissox explained. The petition was then read and ordered to be printed. MESSAGE. A Message from the Lords =noun* that their Lordships had agreed to several Public and Private Bills. IRISH CORONERS. Irel Sir R. SHAW presented a petition from certain Coroners i n and, complaining of the alteration in the law respecting Coroners, made during the last Session. Mr. S. RICE said, that when the measure was proposed last year, he prophesied that these objections would be made, and the inconvenience which he had anticipated had now arisen. Mr. R. MARTIN maintained that the Sheriffs of Ireland would administer the law as pur e ly as the Sheriffs of England. lie was d es i rous of asalmilating the laws in the two countries, and he was sure they would be administered as purely in the one as in the other. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON made a few observations against the alterations which had been made. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that the law had been grievously abused in Ireland_ by Sheri ff s , anti the suitor w as now d epr i ved of a protector whieh he formerly had in the power of the Coroners. Mr. It. MARTIW explained. Mr. GOULBURN said, he would not detain the House by repeating what' he had so often said upon this subjec t . H e could not see why a system wh i ch worked so well in England should not be productive of advantage to Ireland. 31r. DALY supported the alteration which had been made. The petition was then ordered to be printed. 3lr. LINDSEY presented a petition from Cupar against an alteration in th e Linen Lawe.--Ordered to be p rinte d. y Alt. R. COLBURNE presented. a petition from the port of Clyde, praying for the abolition of Slavery.—Ordered to be metal.

GRANT said he held in his hand a petition from an Individual residing in Dublin, complaining of the cond uct of the Guild of Merchants in that city. lie knew nothing of t h e accuracy of the co n t ents o f the pe ti tion.—Laid on the table. Slit T. MAITLAND. Mr. HUME wished to ask the lion. Secretary for the Co. lonies whether it was intended to continue Sir T. Maitland in the Government of the lonian Islands. As an answer to this question would govern his conduct as to a future motion, he hoped it would not be withheld. Mr. WILMOT said he could assure the Hon. Member that he knew of no intention to remove Sir T. Maitland from the Government of the lonian Islands. LAWS AFFECTING SUICIDES. Mr. LE NNA RD rose to bring forward a motion of which he had given notice, as to the custom which existed in this country of doing outrage to the remains of personsfilo dew. After a few remarks upon the useless and barbarous nature of the law, the Lion. Member concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the laws relating to the inter. ment and remains of persons ego de sc.—Leave granted. IRISH GOVERNMENT. Mr. HUME rose to bring forward his motion for reduc the Lord Li eutenant and Chief Secretary for Ireland. when 1 Mr. Secretary PEEL rose to observe that the Chief Secre. tary was not then in the House, having gone to fetch some in. formation which he had left, upon the understanding that the question would not conic on that evening. After a short conversation as to the rotation in which the business of the night should come on, Mr. HUME wit hd rew his motion, saying that it was one which would do as well on that day week or fortnight as then. He did not wish to stand in the way of important business.-- (Hear, hear 1) THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENG LAND TRADING to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give Notice, That a SPECIAL GENERAL COURT of the said Com. /any will be held at their House in Leadenhall.street on 'TUESDAY, the 10th June next, at Eleven o'Clock in the forenoon, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors, for their approbation, a Resolution of the Court of Directors of this day, fur establishing a Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay, in the room of the Recorder's Court at that Presi dency; and also for making sundry Alterationi in the exist ing Provisions as to the Pensions to the Judges of the Indian !Courts of.

The clause bore entirely on the weaker party : it was, in fact, an encouragement to seduction, under the semblance of marriage; and instead of the clause being introduced by the Right Rev. Prelate and a Noble and Learned Lord, it would seem as if it were the production of a set of dissolute minors, who were de sirous of legislating according to the morals professed by the theatrical hero Don Juan. After some further observations, the Noble Lord concluded by expressing his determination to go fully into the subject when the Bill was committed, wldch,. if convenient to the N9ble Lords on the other side, might be on Monday. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY explained, and named Tuesday as a more convenient day for going into the Commit tee, to which Lord ELLENBOROU On assented. The Earl of WESTMORLAND Wi l ey opposed the clause. The Bishop of CHESTER opposed the clause, as it seemed to him directly contrary to the word of God - but he would re serve himself to p rove w h at h e had asserted when the Bill should be in a Committee. The Reverend Prelate observed at some length on the nature of the voidability clause, and asked whether it was a clause propertsto be enacted in a Chris. tian legislature ; he, at all events, would not be one to give his vote for putting assunder those whom God had joined. The Bisho p of DERRY, i n answer to one of the observa tions of the .Noble Lord (Ellenborough), contended that inces tuous marriages were null and void tib bath), according to the, present law. Lord ELLENBOROUGH would not be Positive alto the correctness of his observation, but he would r at h er h ave t h e ex position of the l aw f rom a L earned Lord, than from the Rev.' Prelate. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, they had been told it was not a proper time to discuss the measure; therefore,' though he had been appealed to, he would only say, that he was clearly of opinion that the law of scripture. as well as the law of the land, must be a good deal more considered than it appeared to him they had yet been. The Bill was then read a second time.—Adjourned. This Day were published.

It WWI by no means certain that some resolutions would not be pro. posed to the House arising out of the evidence already adduced, and he was desirous it might not afterwards appear that any party had stopped his tate at the suggestion, and to save the time of the House. The Cuatitstax then put the question that he should leave the Chair, and report to the House the evidence which had beers adduced before the Committee. The motion being agreed to, the Chairman left the Chair, and the House resumed. Sir ROBERT HERON, the Chairman, then brought up the Report of the Committee, which w as or d ere d to lie on the table, and to b e pr i nted.

IRISH JOINT-TENANCY BILL. Mr. DALY moved that the House should resolve Itself into a Committee on this Bill. .31r. R. MA Itl'lN opposed the Bill. It went to the disfran, chisement of many freeholds of Ireland, held in joi nt - tenancy. Colonel TRENCH ob j ected to the Bill, but on a different ground from that taken by his lion.. Friend. lie opposed it because it did net go far enough. At present its operation was intended to be prospective, but he thought it should be im mediate. Sir JOHN NEWPORT, illr. LURE WHITE, and Mr. Eeras, supported the Bill. Air. DALY defended the bill, contending that the present system ofjoint-tenancy in Ireland tended to increase the pau perism of the small frmholders. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON, in opposing the Bill of his lion. Friend, begged to disclaim any it)tention of supportirg the system of fictitious voters, prevalenv in Ireland. Ile had no objection to that part, of the Bill whi c h went to disqualify this sort of voters ; but he objected to this measure being brought in at this period of the Session, when so few Irish Members were present. He also objected to such a business . going forward when tire house was so empty. Let him bring forward the Bill next Session, anti he would support him. Ile hoped he would be satisfied with going into the Thrnittee, and content himself with making his Bill as perfect as pcasibk, then circulate it through Ireland, and come forward with it again next Session. Sir GEORGE HILL hoped the Hon, Member would adopt the suggestion of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Cork, and go at once Into the Committee. Mr. GRATTAN testified his entire approbat'on of the 11:11 of his Hon. Friend; which was to establish, bona jlde, the sys tens of forty shilling freeholders as it otstained in England. Mr. R. MARTIN said, that as it appeared to be the inten tion of the Hon. Member to go forward with his Bill this Set sion, he should divide the House. If not, he should abstain • front taking that course.
