, *it-* LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 11. SANDILANDS V. LEGATT. This was a rule obtained by Sir Fitzroy Kelly to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not iss no against Horatio Bethune Legatt, directing him to bri og up the body of Anna Maria Sandilands, the wife of Jo an Sandilands. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now showed cause again tat the rule. As he was extremely anxious to avoid enter ing into the very painful oireumstances detailed in the affidavits, he submitted to the Court at the outset a priliminary objection, which he said he was satisfied would convince them that no writ could be issued in .tkis case against his client. The affidavits showed that so far from Mrs. Sandilands being detained by her son against her own consent, she wished to remain under hiaroof, and objected to return to her husband, whom she had left in consequence of circumstances that took place in his house, whioh rendered it impossible for her to continue to live with him. These facts, he contended, jus tified the Court in at once discharging the rule, a habeas corpus being of no avail to the husband to obtain the return of his wife, as it was entirely with her own in clination that she remained apart from him. Sir F. KELLY sapported the rule, and argued that the Court could grant a habeas for the purpose of ascertaic,- ing the truth of the statement as to the lady residing •Of her own free will with her son. Lord CAXPEELL thought the rule for a habeas corpus ought not to have been granted, as the Court had rio jurisdiction in such a case. All the Court could do to restore to liberty any of the Queen's su bjects who were improperly confined or imprisoned; brit it appear' 3d that this lady was not under any restraint, but ve es living in her son's house with her own free conseaa and whether the husband had a right and er these circumstances to recover possession of her said compel her to live with him , was a matter which the Court had no power to determine. If the writ went, and the lady was pr oduced, the Court could x l ot compelling make an order h e r to live with her h us b ea i d. The constitution had Pwngisely pointed oat the trib ue ia l where such a matter could be heard and decided; and. if she had no good cause for being absent from her h: as band, and the Court offered no opinion on that point, a decree of the e cclesiastical court could compel her to return to him, but a habeas corpus would be wh.)lly nugatory in such a case. The rule would therefore be discharged.--Discharged accordingly. CRYSTAL PALACE SEA-BATHING. A design is now lying before the directors of the Crystal Palace Company for laying down incorrod able pipe! from the sea at Brighton, for the purpose of cella veying pure sea water along the slopes of that railway to a large reservoir at Sydenham, where capaci us plunging and swimming baths will be established, in connexion with the Crystal Palace, affording to the la dies, gentlemen, tradesnaen, and invalids of all clas sos, residing in London, and its environs, the means of ob taining, at a eheap rate, the salubrious recreation of sea bathing, without entailing upon them the expense, or the loss of time of retiring to the sea coast. Numerous, indeed, we may imagine, would be the at tendance upon such an establishment, united as it will be with our popular Crystal Palace; perso ns who hay e now no alternative but fresh water bath ing, which is universally acknowledged to be vastly inferior to that .of sea water, would eagerly seize upon the opportunity .of a short, pleasant ride by railway from London, to obtadn at a choap rate a luxury hitherto only placed within the reach of the more opulent portion of the community. And by a simple extension of the plan, the water, once at the Sydenham reservoir, could be disteibut,3d throughout the principal residences, palaces, hospital* hotels, and public baths of our great metropolis, al id employed not alone for the sanitary purposes of bathing, but also for supplying the ornamental waters of the Crystal Palace, which, by the acquisition of sea water, will surpass the hitherto unequalled jets d'eau of Ver sailles or the noble cascades of St. Cloud. It has been ascertained from careful calculation by the projector, Thomas Wright, C.E., that the metropolis could be supplied at the rare of 3d. per 100 gallons, or one good bath fur a penny. It is a reniarkablo fist that notwithstanding our wealth, our boasted cicilizatica, ant mechanical skill, we fall infinitely short of the Greeks and Romans of ancient, and of most European countries of modern times, with respect to our national baths; but on the in troduetion of the isia7ine water supply the greatest achievement in hydraulics ever yet attempted will be accomplished, and one well worthy the age we live in and the justly celebrated mechanical and scienti fi c pre eminence of the British nation.

LONDON, SATURDAY IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from Swansea against the Militi a Bill. NATIONAL EDUCATION—THE MANAGE MENT CLAUSES. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE put a question to the Noble Earl at the head of the Government, whether any minute of tho Committee of Education had been made, which would have the effect of making any alteration in the administration of the public grant for education. The Earl of DERBY said that a minute had been agreed to in substance, though not in terms, which would make some alteratio n an d e ff ect some relaxation in the stringency of the conditions which at present ac• companied the distribution of the education grant. It was not proposed to make any alteration with respect to the management clauses, but the option of inserting cer tain words would be given to parties, by which they would no longer be disqualified as heretofore from receiving a portion of those grants. The precise terms were not yet settled, but as soon as they had been, there would be no delay in laying it before both Houses of Parliament. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had heard from the highest authority that this alteration was an important one. Now it was but a few days ago since the other House of Parliament had been called upon to grant the usual vote for the purpose of education, and it bad been hitherto the invariable custom to lay any alterations which might be intended to be made in the management and mode of distribution of these grants before Parliament, previous to the vote being proposed. He must express his surprise on this occasion, that these alterations had not been laid before Parliament at the time when it was called upon to provide for this branch of the public service—a branch which there was no doubt the other Rouse had provided for under the idea that no alteration Would be made in the mode of dis pensing it. The Earl of DERBY said that he hoped the Noble Marquis did not mean to charge her Majesty's Govern ment with having been actuated in the course they had pursued by any desire of deluding Parliament. Frequent representations and complaints had been made both to her Majesty's present Government and to the late Government, upon the part of the Church of Eng land, that with regard to the stringency of the regula tions of the management clauses they were not placed upon a footing of equality with other denominations to whom aid was granted. He (Lord Derby) never had concealed his opinion, that in that particular the Church of England had occasion to complain, and at the very earliest moment he had brought the subject under the discussion of the Committee of Privy Council with a view to see whether they could not, while preserving the equa lity of the different denominations, introduce such altera tions as might remove well-founded objections and remove the inequalities complained of. The management clauses the b u s t l i g w h t h e e s r t e degree ty b e h e a n d b a e l t e e n r e d g v o e r n i n to ho: het a hro d fueer n : eohd with, not td e i n n o and moral e d ucat i on o f t h e peop l e , i t h a d b een mations with regard to the religious i that the Church of England was making no unreasonabl e or extravagant d eman d if it re quested to have the same liberty granted to it as was granted to other denominations. The effect of the de cisions and alterations which had been made would be materially to increase the amount to which members of the Church of England could profit by that aid which was now afforded to all denominations.—(Hear.) The Marqeis of LANSDOWNE repeated that it was the duty of the Government to have laid the nature of these alterations before the other House before asking for the vote of the education estimate. That had always been the course pursued by former Governments. Earl GREY asked the Noble Earl whether it was in tended that th e a lt e ration which had just been made should take effect with regard to the sum which had just been voted? The EARL of DERBY reminded Noble Lords op posite that many of the most important alterations which had been made, in the regulations of the Committee of Education h a d b een m ade during the recess of Parlia ment, and of course after the vote had been taken. lie was, however, quite ready to say that under this minute no sum of money should ba applied until Parliament had had full opportunity of pronouncing upon it. The subject then dropped. The Eail of M ALMES BURY laid on the table farther correspondence relative to the recent insult to Mr. Mather at Florence. POSTAGE WITH FRANCE. In answer to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, The Earl of HARDWICKE said that he had, since coming into office, received no communication from the French Government relative to this subject, further than that they would take the subject into their consideration, but he hoped soon to receive some communication stating that the French Government was disposed to enter into negotiations for the purpose of effecting some better postal arrangements than existed at present between the two countries.

Earl CAWDOR, in putting a question to her Ma jesty's Ministers relative to this subject, called the at tention of the House to the following paragraph, which ho read from the Times : " THE NEW PACKET STATION COSIMISSION.—CapttIin Charles Tyndal, of the Royal Navy, arrived in Galway on Tuesday night, accompanied by his secretary, for the purpose of viewing and reporting on the capabilities of the port of Galway for a Transatlantic packet station. The gallant officer was out early the following morning making the necessary observations. Each of the three Commissioners appointed by Lord Derby's Government will separately visit the harbours of Limerick and Galway, and send in their respective reports." He (Earl Cawdor) did not know whether there was any truth in this paragraph? A.WDORRBY—Not a word of it. We have se nt out no Commissio ner . Earl C th er e was not a word of truth in the paragraph, and he - -His Noble Friend assured him that T w yaTsn The e a v ieEr wasyl rlwo n fi l o lD t i c —E o g a l l t e o d ü believe t 0 that a k eCaptainany e p C o h r a t r l o o n s then but this subject. But , 6 c o m i ng ev ents," it was said, e threw their shadow s b e f ore, " an d h e was not quite n clear that Captain ee Tyndal might not yet appear b other c ity for the object assigned to him, or od question; y somee u in thatt l ate discussion in that House had settled this e vying to this paragraph, and the per severance , whi c h certain Noble Lords connected with Ireland alwa ys pursued the objects which they had once had in view, i ho p es i o with gallant captain in his stead. He had that; ) and owing to other circumstances which had come to his knowledge, he had now more question or fears thatOeopes; and, put a therefore, he felt compelled to two to his Noble Friends near him. The object of the late inquiry ought not to have been what port in Ireland is the best fitted for Transatlantic what port on the western side of the uanviitgeadtiKoni,ng butdore. Now, there had been no allusion made to anything o f that sort by any other of the Noble The Lords opposite, ehe evidence and the report which had been founded upon n it both showed clearly enough that no advantage would be gained by choosing en Irish port as Packet station, but that great evil and w ould accrue to the commercial and tra vellingn " 13111111114 Y from the adoption of such a prop ja T e o r n a v n e s n a i t e r e e t i e sa l. Now they a? thaer were threatened with a fresh inquiry, to inconvenient as Limerick or Galway would be the least had already a Place of departure for America. He informed their Lordships that the Commis sdieocni e d r e s w w h h e o t . h c e o r n (1 ueted the last inquiry were precluded from incla.iring into the practicability of selecting other harbours in other parts of the country, but it had some how out that Milford Haven was better Limerick, x ransatlantic packet station than either Cork, or Galway. It had been shown that there was no h arbour on the western coast of Ireland i n to which a vessel of any great tonnage could enter with safety in hazy weather. Now, the soundings in Milford E w en were en - good that any vessel of any size might b su o rted or fo o r run into it eith er or L night day. we wore to have I' I another inqui ry e into this subject, he thought that the ca pabilities.caailford Haven ought to be included in that i n quiry He concluded a speech, which was indistinctly heard thro u ghout, hy asking the Noble Duke near him (Northurabe 1 r-and) whether he intended to proceed with this inquiry, and, so, if whether he would include Mil ford Haven i n it? The E€lll of DERBY was not surprised that his Noble Friend was anxious that the merits of Milford Haven should not be lost sight of; but ho must leave his Noble Friend to balance them against the merits of Limerick and Gale? aY, which were as eloquently advocated on a format le - night by certain Irish friends of his as those of Milford ...alien had been advocated that evening. His Noble Friend 'nad misapprehended the intention of the Commission of Inquiry now about to issue. First, as regarded the paragraph which his Noble Friend had cited fro m in the Times. It might be very true that Cap tain Tyndal was surveying and examining Galway Bay; but, if SO, it was on his own behalf , an d not on that of Government. the When he said just now that Govern ment had sot dispatched a Commissioner to Galway, he h ad said that which was perfectly true to the letter, for the aPPointment of the Commissioners had not been signed till that morning by the Noble Duke near "`m• Still, it w as intended that those Commissioners should proceed to make forthwith a personal survey a nd examination of the western coast of Ireland. Their survey, however, was to be limited within very narrow bounds. He thought that his Noble Friend had bc all present at the last debate on this subject, when it was stated that one point ought to be cleared up by per sonal examination on the spot. The last Commission had reported that if a packet station or a harbour of refuge were to be erected on the west coast of Ireland, preference must be given to either Galway or Limerick; and then it had described the advantages and the disad vantages of both. The Noble Marquis opposite (Clan ricerde) had then suggested that a new Commission should be issued to fill up the void in our knowledge by striking the balance between those two harbours. To that object, and to that object alone, were the i n q uiries of the C ommissioners to b e di recte d. Th e Government had not decided to which of the two harbours th e pre ference was given, but would leave it to the Commis sioners to decide with his Noble Friend. lie could as sure his N o bl e F r i en d t h a t Government wou ld not un a dertek e th e work o f esta bli s hi n g g reat Transatlantic with him packet st at i on w i t h ou t communicating fur the r QS to the merits of Milford Haven. Tho Mar qu i s o f CLA. NR ICARDE was u nderstood to say that th ere w ould be an undoubte d saving of time, , which Was a matter of the v er y greates t importance, by the adoption of an Irish port. CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE. Lord LYNDHURST, in rising to move that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the allegations of the Baron do Bede's petition, said he hoped their Lord ships w ou ld not be alernsed by a reiteration. of the clai ms of the Baron de Bod e, for, from recent circumstances, the case had assumed a very simple form, and it would not be necessary for him to occupy any considerable por tion of their Lordslaip's time. The outline of the ease Might indeed be stated in a very few words. The Baron , EVENING, de Bode was a British subject; he possessed a large pro perty in France; that property was confiscated by the revolutionary Government of France. At the time of the peace a treaty was entered into between the King of France and the Government of this country, by which a large sum of money was paid over to the British Go vernment,. for the purpose of giving an indemnity to British subjects whose property had been confiscated by the revolutionary Government of France. A consider able portion of that amount remained still nnapplied to the purpose for which it was given. The Baron de Bode, as a British subject, claimed to be indemnified out of the remains of the money so paid by the Go vernment of France to the Government of this coun try; but by a series of misapprehensions and mistakes of the most extraordinary kind the Baron de Bode had had been defeated in his attempts to obtain redress from the British Government. The Baron de Bode had also been baffled in his attempts to obtain redress by the various applications which he had made to the other House of Parliament, and at last, worn out with anxiety and perseverance in this case, he had sunk into the grave, and had transmitted his claims to the present pe titioner, who was his son, his heir, and his p e r s o na l re presentative. He (Lord Lyndhurst) hoped their Lord ships would bear with him for a few moments while he said a word or two with respect to himself as con nected with this case. He was present in their Lord ships' House when, sitting judicially, they pronounced the late judgment in the case of the Baron do Bode. He (Lord Lyndhurst) found no fault with that judgment. Indeed, no other judgment could have been pronounced consistently with law, and he concurred in it; but in the course of the proceedings h© felt so strongly the injustice which had been done to this gentleman, and the injuries he had sustained, that—rashly, perhaps, so far as he was personally concerned—he undertook to bring their case before their Lordships. He had supposed at the time he made the promise, that he would have been able to bring the subject forward during the last session. If he had anticipated the delay he would cer tainly have hesitated in making such an engagement, owing to his increasing infirmities—(Hear, hear)—but, having once made a promise, he felt himself bound to adhere to it.—(Hear, hear.) Having now given an out line of the case, he would fill up some of the details ne cessary for its perfect comprehension. The father of the late claimant was a German by birth; he was in the service of the King of France; and he married an English lady, the daughter of Mr. Kynnersley, of Lox ley-park, Staffordshire, by whom he had a son, the late claimant, who was born in that county, and who was therefore to all intents a nutural-born subject of Great Britain, entitled to all the rights of a British subject. The father and son were entitled to an extensive and valuable estate in Lower Alsace, called the Lordship of Sultz, which was held under the Archbishop and Chap ter of Cologne, and was an inalienable male fief. Alsace was annexed to the Crown of France by the treaty of Munster, which contained provisions for pre serving all existing tenures. In 1791 the father of the late claimant, being in the service of the King of France, foreseeing the events then pending, and fear ing that they might lead to the loss of his interest in the estate by confiscation or otherwise, determined to give up his interest to his son, and it was accordingly cop veered to his son, the late claimant, with all the forms and ceremonies incident to the law. In 1793, in conse quence of the events which occurred in France, both the father and the son were compelled to leave that country and to take refuge in Germany. They were therefore treated by the then Government of France as emigrants, and their estate was confiscated. The conveyance of the estate from the father to the son had been made to in sure the estate to the family, the son being a British subject; and France being at that time in amity with England, it was supposed that, under the circumstances, the estate was secured. By the unjust act which he had mentioned, however, the estate was confiscated by the French Government. So matters remained till the close of the war, when conventions were entered into between France and this country for the purpose of affording compensation to persons who had sustained losses by confiscations under the authority of the revolutionary Government, and a mixed commission was appointed to consider the claims. The late claimant pre sented a memorial to the Duke do Richlieu in January, 1816, setting forth his claim, but the Duke said it was inadmissible, because the claimant's father was a Ger man. The claimant immediately applied to Sir C. Stewart, the British Ambassador, who was satisfied that a mistake had been committed by the Duke de Richlieu, and Mr. Mackenzie, the chief English Commissioner, also stated that there was not the slightest ground for the objection, and promised to put the claimant's name upon the list. The Commissioners, however, recom mended the claimant, as the Duke do Richlieu disputed his nationality, to obtain proof of his birth and of other circumstances upon which his claim was founded. The claimant immediately obtained certificates of the mar riage of his father and moth er , an d o f h i s own birth, and othr necessary documents, and he also submitted his case to the late Sir S. Romilly, who stated there was no doubt whatever that he was a British subject. The evidence thus obtained was presented to the Commis sioners, and Mr. Mackenzie subsequently said he would take care that the claimants name should be put upon the list. Mr. Mackenzie subsequently stated that he had doubts as to whether the property was situated within the limits of the French territory, but the claimant showed that the whole of Lower Alsace was sur rendered to the Crown of France by the treaty of Mun ster, and Mr. Mackenzie admitted that he had made a mistake, and said that the claimant's name should be placed upon the list. The claimant applied from time to time to know when his case would be heard, and so matters went on till 1818, when a new convention was entered into between the Crown of France and the Go vernment of this country, the mixed commission was abolished, and a large sum of money, amounting to 60,000,000 francs, was paid over to the British Govern ment, who undertook to satisfy the British claimants and to indemnify France against all claims made by British subjects. In 1819 an Aet of Parliament was passed to carry that convention into effect, and by that measure the Commissioners who had acted on the part of England in the mixed commission were named as Com aissionera under the new convention. The Commis sioners made out their list, which included the name of the claimant, and he requested to be informed what was the nature of the evidence which would be required in support of his claim. The claimant had been reduced, by the long delay, to great pecuniary difficulties, and he stated his circumst ances frankl y to the Com missioners, and applied for time to collect the necessary evidence, which was at once allowed him. One part of the evidence required related to the cession of the estate from the father to the son, and the claimant was on the continent collecting that evidence, when the Commission ers called upon his agent indhiscountry to pr ove th a t the property confiscate d, being tit e prope r ty o f a B r i t i s h subject, was confisca ted as such, and u n d er the decrees a g ainst British subjects. The agent at once replied that it was confiscated i n conse q uence of emigration. The Commissioners then said that unless it could be proved that the property had been confiscated under the decrees against British subjects the claimant was not entitled to come in under the convention. This was a most extra ordinary decision, and there was nothing to justify it in the terms of the convention, for the only evidence re quired by the 7th article of the convention was that a British subject was entitled to property which had been confiscated. Indeed, cases were decided a few years afterwards by the Committee of the Privy Council which established the right of persons to receive com pensation whose property had b een conf i scated, not as the proper ty of British subjects, but as the property of emi grants, and on account of emigration. The Commissioners, however, at once proceeded to make their award, which was an award of rejection. The first ground upon which they proceeded was that which he had just mentioned. The second ground was, that there was no sufficient proof of the cession of the property to the claimant by his father. That was an extraordinary ground, for the commissioners had themselves prevented the completion of that evidence. There was another question. The commission left entirely out of view the vested remain der, which the claimants had taken prior to and inde pendently of the cession. The third ground was one upon which he did not inisist, except for the purpose of showing the manner in which the commission transacted its proceedings. There was a claim for compensation as regarded part of the property, which consisted of biens endues. The Commissioners referred to the Dic tionnaire de l'Academie, and found this phrase described as a house in ruins, a lapsed legacy, property altogether abandoned, and belonging to no one; and they asked " how can you claim compensation for property which be longs to no one?" Such was the conclusion of the Commis sioners; whereas, if they had only consulted any French lawyer, or even an English lawyer, they would have learnt at once that the phrase meant property escheated to the lord for want of heir, and which had become abso lutely the property of the lord. Then, again, the Com missioners, not being acquainted with the law of France, consulted a learned work with reference to that part of the claim which related to the property in mines, end they extracted a passage from it with the view ofshow ing t that the claimant could have no property ib not In e m w lnn orked mines being of no value, as they I without the permission and under the s urveillance of the Government; whereas any person who read the passage with attention would find that the author quoted had come to a conclusion directly the reverse, and that which was answering an argument a g ainst the opinion he himself had expressed. Thus ended tho proceed ings of the C o mmissioners. . The gentleman then ap pealed to the Privy Council, who after some tim e a ffirmed the award of t he Commissioners, solely on the ground that the cession must be taken to have been made for the purpos e of deludin g the revoluti onary Go vernment. The claimant was thus left without redress. The ground of the Privy Council's affirmance not affecting the vested remainder to which he had re ferred, the claimant was advised to apply for a re-hearing of the case. But no sooner was it known that he intended to apply for a rehearing than application was made to have the decision of the Privy Council confirmed by the Crown. Now, everybody acquainted with the course of proceedings in such cases knew full well that this was usually a mere matter of form; but, on this occasion, it turned out to be a matter of substance; for, when the gentleman applied for a rehearing, the Privy Council de cided they had no authority to rehear the case, in conse quence of the Crown having ratified the previous affir mance. At that time there was about 5,0001. in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury which had not been applied in discharge of the claims; and a gentleman who was then a Member of the House of Commons, but who was now a member of the House of Lo f ts, applied to Mr. Canning, then Primo Minister, _a s stated the case to him. Mr. Canning " had strongly impressed with the injustice would order been done to the gentleman, and said d a o t hdima the case to be inquired into, and endeavour dee r to step being anguished statesman prevented any who next was teo k no ll ; taken in that direction. The Nobvelernterndt at the head of her Majesty's G the case, and brought it before °theofHollse of Commons, inquiry, and sup where he moved for a Committee JUNE 12, 1852. ported it with all the fervour, zeal, perspicuity, and elo quence with which their Lordships had been so long familiar; but how was he mat? The first argument with which he was met was that the property in ques:ion had not been confiscated as property of a British subject under the decree to which his had adverted—an argu ment which he (Lard Lyndhurst) had already disposed of. Another argument with which the Noble Lord was met was that the cession had not been proved by any deed. Now, in France there was no distinction whatever between writings and deeds, as in this country. That law was peculiar to this country. The surrender was made according to the law of the country where it took place which was quite suffi cient. But the third reason urged against the motion was of a still more singular character, viz., that it would cast a slur on the credit of the Commission and the Privy Council, if they granted the inquiry. How ever, those arguments, assisted by others at the nature of which he would not hint, prevailed on the House, and the motion, though supported by all the vigour and manly eloquence of Sir J. Graham, was lost. A Noble and Learned Lord opposite, who was then a Member of the House of Commons (Lord Truro, we believe), next undertook to bring the question before the House of Commons, but he was put off from day to day by va rious causes, until the dissolution of Parli ament, with out being able to effect his purpose, and, not having a seat in the new Parliament, he ceased to be in a condition to fulfil his engagement. Mr. Hill, the then Member for Hull, next brought the question before the House, and had made some progress in his statement, when the House was counted out, and he was unable to bring it forward again during the session. He renewed it, however, in a subsequent session, and, in a House of nearly 200 Mem bers, not only obtained a hearing, but carried his motion for a Committee. The case was argued before a Com mittee, day after day, by counsel on both sides; and the inquiry had been nearly brought to a close, when an objection was made on the part of the opponents of the claim, that the documents produced had not been au thenticated by any British Minister or agent. The session being then nearly at a close, the objection put a stop to the inquiry; but the Committee, in their report to the House, strongly urged the necessity of re-appoint ing the Committee in the next session. Parliament was again dissolved, and Mr. Hill not being again returned to the House, it became necessary to find some other Member to move for the re-appointment of the Commit tee; but such was the general alarm at the nature and complexity of the case, that it was necessary to go about knocking from door to door to find some Member to un dertake it. At last Mr. Warburton moved fur the re appointment of the Committee; and, singular to say, was met by the argument, on the part of an officer of the Crown, that the Baron de Bode, who, for 20 years, had been persevering and active in every possible way to have his case heard and decided, had slept upon his case—an argument which he maintained was, under all the cir cumstances, nothing less than a piece of cruel mockery and insult.—(Bear.) Mr. Warburton's motion having been lost, the Baron next applied for a mandamus, calling upon the Treasury to apply the money for the purpose for which it had been received. The mandamus was re fused, on the ground that the Lords of the Treasury held the money as the servants of the Crown, and it was asked how could a mandamus, which was an order of the Crown, command the Crown to apply the money in any par ticular way. The counsel for the claimant then ap plied for a petition of right, supplicating her Majesty to do justice; and—would their Lordships believe it—this application was resisted on the ground that the money was not in the hands of the Crown, but in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury. At length, however, Lord Cottenham, then Lord Chancellor, appointed four mem bers of the bar, and highly qualified, for the duty, to examine into the matter. These gentlemen summoned a jury of fourteen, twelve being necessary for a verdict, and that jury pronounced an unanimous verdict, finding all the facts which were asserted in the petition of right to be true.—(Hear, hear.) The Attorney-General had notice to attend this inquiry, and might have attended it if he had thought proper, but he did not do so. Al though, however, he did not choose to attend the inquiry , he did that which by law ho was of course perfectly en titled to do—he traversed the finding, and pleaded the Statute of Limitations, which was fatal to the claim. (Hear, hear.) The next step was a trial at bar, where the four Judges presided with a special jury, and the result was to confirm the former finding in every particular. All the facts which he had stated, then, had been proved by the concurrent verdict of two juries ; but the Baron did not obtain judgment in consequence of a clause in the Act which had been passed for the purpose of carrying out the convention, which rendered it necessary that the claim should first have been established by the adjudication of the Commissioners. An appeal was next made to the House of Lords, and the House of Lords confirmed that decision. If he were to be asked where the money was to come from to satisfy these claims, his answer was that it was either in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury, or that it had been applied to some public service. Ii the latter were the case the public, having reaped the benefit of it, were bound to restore the money.—(Hear, hear.) But he did not go so far as that. He asked simply for a Committee to inquire into this case, and if the Committee should confirm the statement which he had made ho should appeal to her Majesty's Govern ment to afford redress. He pressed this case in common honesty and common fairness, not for the sake of the claimant alone, but for the character, honour, and dig nity of this great country.—(Hear, hear). The Earl of DERBY said, that seldom, even in his Noble and Learned Friend's earlier days, had it been his pleasure to listen to details of great complication and importance delivered with so complete a command of all the circumstances of the case, unassisted, as their Lord ships had seen, by reference to a single note, as the statement which they had just heard from his Noble and Learned Friend—(Hear, hear)—and seldom, he ventured to say, had the cause—h e wou ld not say of justice, be cause that would be to some extent prejudging the case —bat the cause of humanity and national honour, been placed before them in language more eloquent and en forced by arguments more cogent than those which his Noble and Learned Friend had with so much ability employed.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that to every one, on whichever side of the House he sat, it would be equally gratifying to perceive that his Noble Friend's mental faculties, at all events, were unimpaired after his many years of public life, while his nice sense of what was due to the honour, justice, and dignity of the country was maint a i ne d w i t h as much strength and sin cerity as in earlier days.—(Hear, hear.) He (the Earl of Derby) was far from wishing to enter into a discus sion of the merits of this case. Twenty-four years ago he had brought forward the wrongs, as he then conceived them to be, of the father of the present petitioner, and he thought now there could be but one opinion, after such a statement as they had just heard, proceeding from such an authority as his Noble and Learned Friend, evincing so clearly the conviction on his own mind of the sub stantial justice of the case which he had brought before them, that it was their bounden duty not to refuse to submit to the test of an inquiry the facts of the case.— (Hear, hear.) Undoubtedly there must be great diffi culties in the way of such an inquiry, and it must extend to a period which would render it doubtful whether any Committee that they might appoint could bring their labours to a conclusion in the present session. Still, if his Noble Friend pressed for a Committee in the present session, he should offer no opposition to such a motion. There would no doubt be objections raised in the other House of Parliament to any vote of money. At the same time he would say, that if the report of the Com mittee should substantiate the justice and equity of the claim, neither the lapse of time, nor technicalities, nor the inconvenience of being called on to pay a sum, how ever large, ought to prevent this country, satisfying the demands of justice.—(Hear, hear.) However large, therefore, the sum which might be awarded, and how ever unpleasing to the Chancellor of the Exchequer sucht a thing might be, if the Committee should come o a clear and undoubted opinion upon the incontrovertible h facts before them, that this gentleman had in honour, equity, liability equity, and morality, a claim upon this country, Parlia ment would not refuse to acknowledge the and to respond to it.—(Hear.) Earl the ' re w e i d th w t ith e m th e e ri Nohle w Eerl claim R of E t Y h e d B i d ar n o o n t r a i e se B t o o d e e x press h an y he was unacquainted; but agreed h if e t a h g ere were a valid claim on who had just spoken, that sumthe a q t ai e t t y ak a e nci m j i g us h t t ic u e e o , of itth:ocnoldunbteryth, the dutyoweve o r f large the o the r House i ofPartgaemaerntheta.) He could n to provide meansthe oth oeflpmeeting that c o,tro enter taining very serious doubts, however—he might say more than doubts—whether the appointment of a Com mittee of that House was the proper mode of arrivine at a decision upon this important question. He thought that Parliamentary Committees were, ef all tribunals, consi dered the least to be trusted when the questie n i be and involved a claim upon the public purse; least of all, could a claim of this nature, involving such nice considerations of law, be satisfactorily investigated by a Committee of their Lordships' House.—(Hear, hear.) If the claim were to bo brought before the other House of Parliament, and a vote of money were to be asked for, it ought to be recommended by the responsible advisers of the Crown, after they, by due inquiry, had satisfied themselves that it was a just one. The speech of the Noble and Learned Lord did certainly appear to make out a very stron case indeed, but he could not h e l p thieking that theremust be some thing more behind, with which they were not accurately should w be hi c c o h n m du a c d t e ed it a the law, Committeeo r o s f o some other t he r House.tr i b u na l by y xp e e o d m ie m n i t s s t i h o a n t er t s he arinvestiga tionned in go the Noble Lord now at the head of the Gove rnment quire into moved the appointment of a Committes) Twenty-fear competent rn e i n'ers, than had had this subject.

Lord LYNDHURST begged to remind the Noble Earl that the case had assumed quite a new appearance since he had held the great seal in consequence of the two successive verd!cts which had been pronounced with respect to it. Earl FI 12 WILLIAM was surprised to find that his Noble Friend (Earl Grey) had on more than one oc casion recently objected to the appointment of Com mittees for the consideration of questions like the pre sent, which involved neither more nor lees than the honour and inmesty of the country, and instanced the case of the Warner invention an one in which his Noble Friend bad p urbue d t h e same course. His Noble Frien d said ba could not help suspecting that there was some thing behind; but, if that were the case, if there WC anything concealed which did not meet he eye, that . wae the very ground on which they should at we appoint a Comnaittee.—(Heer, hear.) A largo sum o ,i the amount . given by France still remained, he believE unappropriated, at all events to the purpose for which 11 was given, and the Committee, if it answered no other use, would be beneficial in eliciting the precise mode la which that surplus had been disposed of. Lord MONTEAGLE said it was many years since be had looked into the papers in this case, but he had a tolerably clear recollection of the circumstances CO•l'' fleeted with it. There could be no doubt that a larg e sum had been given by France to be distributed among surely certain claimants by a tribunal appointed for that pot pose by Act of Parliament. It was alleged that LW portion of this sum which should have been given to tile Baron de Bode had been appropriated by the Gover merit for selfishpurposes, so that the B aron had be , t o defrauded of his just rights. I n th e fi rst i nsta nce, term had been assigned withi n w hi c h a ll persons purports ing to have claims were to p u t i n t h ose c l a i ms , and eel was quite true that in the ti me o f L or d Li verpoo l, the being a portion of the amo un t unex h auste d b y the satii faction of the just claim s p u t i n w i t hi n t h e stipulfi, i t ta period, that surplus was applied to the building and f coration of Buckingham Pal a c e . Th a t was ma tter o s history and well understood. It did not, however, aPil e , to be equally well unleratcod, though it was equal l y matter of fact, that under the Government of Earl GIYI that surplus, so applied to the building and decoratil it l of Buckingham Pal ace , was requ i re d to b e returne d, an d was ac cor di ng ly returne d i n iu ll b y the Treasur y,nn e applied in payment of a second list of claims which we:e allowed to be put in by persons who had been exclu.cle; front! the form er di s t r ib ut i on b y t h e limitation of time originally assigned. He would, in th e course of the evening, move for Treasury accounts which would clearly show this state of facts, and which would thus disp.roi at the same tim e th e a ll egat i on that the money designeb for the Baron d e B o d e had been used by the Biat?„ Government for selfi s h p ur p oses, and the propositrun; that there was mone y ava i lable for the purpose of t`' Baron's claim. Lord TRURO said that those who had heard powerful and eloquent, and convincing address of the Noble Premier, when, in the other House, twenty-Cu"; years ago, he advocat e d th e , even then, manifest cliO: of the Baron de Bode, could no t h ave i mag i ned the Pet; bility of any other course on his part than that w l3 ,' he had now adopted, however inconvenient in its neu' - 0 diate effact on the Exchequer the result of that con° might be. The only conceivable objection to the ar t pointment of a Committee was, that i n f ac t, revert , c , O justice, there was not a single feature of the Bare% claim in rational dispute. This was so manifest, eas to the Noble Earl who had just opposed the motion, ter, he insisted there must be s o m e th ing b e hi n d a ntegonii tl e to the claim, since there was no pate n t reaso n will „„t h a - claim should not long since ha ve b een a d m itted acted upon. His Noble Friend might be quite assr bo that, had there been anything anywhere that coula . 0 adduced to invalidate the Baron' s claim, it would not 138 ' 0 remained very long in th e b ac k groun d. The oppeet a who could condescend to resort to so miserable an e .:4 sion as an appeal to the Statute of Limitations 0311 . „. indeed, have been at their wit's end for a el lee ' a o (Hear, hear.) As to the statement that there was - vett fund out of which this claim could be satisfied, e, t; in part, the finding of the jury distinctly rebutted t o for the finding of that jury was, that after d e payment of all the claims duly registered within l ' o f time first stipulated, there remained 482,752/. 63. 6 u f ' o . the sum given in this respect by the French Go", ,a 1 ment; of this 480,0001. 200,0001. had since beet:l i r - 6i to persons whose claims bad been admitted ~ grace, and the residue had b een pa id i nto t h e Bar'' England to the account of the Government. Ir o oj, matter of strict justice th e fi rst res i due of 480,0 ought to have been paid in satisfaction of the Baro n 0 0/. Bode's claims, his admitt e d c l a i ms; and the 2 00,0 which had beeu given in other quarters had beee h li n e questionably given in the Baron's wrong; bat ' d - Li e utterly monstrous the proposition that even the riegsleer, now existing was to be withheld from him!—'d hear.) When France paid the money it sees the for of this country to see that it was honestly aPPli e " ft those in whose behalf the claims had been preferred'ioo appeared, after the claims were in, a eemmuei eli a t r ee took place between the two Governments as to th e rr a o per sum to be set apart to answer future claims- Bo d, Baron de Bod e ' s c l a i m was i n at that time; co o upon the footing of the cl a i ms th en in, a oomputati ee made as to the sum to be set apart.

Lord HATHERTON said that, having been the e person who brought forward this claim in the 121 ° 139 Commons in 1826 or 1827, he co u ld no t a llow the el" tthe to pass without expressing his sense of obligation W o o Noble Earl for the spirited course he had take n A ' w bsi which he thought the honou r o f t h e coun t r y, and of was due to the Crown, demanded.
