PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, FE3RtJAUY 18. The Royal Assent was declared by Commission to the Melt and Pension Duty Bill. The Lords Commivioners were the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and Vis count MELVILLE. TAAFE'S DIVORCE BILL. On tie question for the seconil reading of this Bill. Counsel and evidence were heard. Mr. WARREN, as leading Counsel for the Peti tioner, stated the case, and several of the intend ed witnesses were examined with a view to sub stantiate it. The first witness was a Clergyman of the Ito man Catholic persuasion, who stated that Mr. and Mrs.Taatie were married in January, 180 G. Being asked by one.of their Lordships whether there were regular registry books of the Roman Catholic marriages kept, tinder the authority of law, the Rev. Gentleman could not answer in the afiii native ; upon which, The Lonra CHANCELLOR observed, that such Looks could not be received in evidence. The next witness was a Gentleman of the name of Daly, who stated that he Was present at the solemnization of the marriage. Prom the evidence of the subsequent witnesses, it appeared that Mrs. Taaffe had three children ; that Mr. Taafie having reason to suppose that his Lade had formed an adulterous connexion with Lord William Fitzgerall, brought his action against that Nobleman, in the Irish Court of . Common - Pleas, where he obtained a verdict for 50001. damages. Two of the domestics,"a woman who had lived with Mrs. Taaffe while she resided in Bruton street, and afterwards, for some time, when she was on the Continent, stated, that about the close of 1814, she attended the Lady to Brighton, from which, in some time, she, went, accompanied by Lord William Fitzgerald, to Dover, and shortly after, they repaired together to the Continent, where, at several places, they lived and cohabited together as man and wife—the Lady going by the name of Lady Elizabeth, or Lady William Fitzgerald, The second of these witnesses, a young man who had lived as servant with Lord William, de posed to the same effect. One of the witnesses intended to be brought forward was Mr. Cline, the eminent Surgeon, but Dlr. Warren said, it would he highly inconve nient for that Gentleman to attend in time this evening, upon which The Lotto CHANCELLOR observed, lie could at tend on a future opportunity ; and the farther consideration of the case was adjourned till Tues. day next. The Bristol Gas Light Bill was read the se cond tune ; as was the Twenty Millions Exche• Auer Bills Bill. INTERESTING CASE IN CHANCERY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, he had a Pe tition to present to their Lordships, which com plained of a case, involving, in his mind, no small degree of hardship, and one of such a nature as be deemed peculiarly incumbent on that House to attend to. The Petition was on the part of two Lunatics, and the case to which it related aye's one, wherein a Decree had been obtained in the Court of Chancery in their favour, for the safe of certain estates, which, or part of which, being copyhold, and as it appeared that in the Act under which the sale was made, die word " Copyhold" was unfortunately omitted, it was held that the persons in question could not make nut a good title to the property, and therefore the purchasers were not compellable to make good their contract. The object of the prayer was, that their Lordships would take the extraordi nary hardships of the Petitioners' case into their consideration ; and cause the Act in question to be so amended, as that the Chancellor may be authorized to make such order therein as the na ture and justice of the case obviously pointed out. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his regret that there should exist the necessity for such an appeal to the Legislature as that brought forward by the Noble Marquis. His Lordship briefly explained the nature of the case, and the import of the Bill which was referred to. The Chancel lor was empowered to order the disposal of the property of Lunatics for the payment of their debts, and it was deemed necessary some time since that a more particular enactment should take place on the subject, and accordingly a Bill wait brought in for the purpose by the then Soli citor-General, now Chancellor of Ireland. Upon reference being made to the Master, in the parti cular case to which the Petition referred, in or der to ascertain what property was applicable to the payment of the parties' debts, the Master was of opinion that the copyholds should be disposed of. On this, the Act being referred to, doubts bad arisen as to part of its wording, in the way stated by the Noble Marquis. There was no doubt as to the intention of the Noble and Learned Person who proposed the Act, but some amendment thereof was certainly requisite, and be was of opinion (without reference to the step just taken) that some Legislative procedure would be adopted, either to declare what whs the sense and meaning of the Act in question, or to amend it, so that the word " Copyhold" should be pro perly, included. Indeed, the proposition was so reasonable in itself, that he had no difficulty in saying, that if the matter had not been taken tip, he would have come forward himself on the oc casion. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. SLAVE' TRADE. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice of his intention, with reference to the questions he had recently put upon the subject, to move to mor row for copies of the Instructions given to Mas ters of Vessels, tinder the Convention agreed upon two years ago, on the subject of the Slave Trade, and respecting the appointment of Commissioners under tie said Convention. lie then moved that the Lords be summoned for to-morrow, which was ordered accordingly.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. 'The SPEAKER acquainted the liou3e, that the Can had expired withiu which the recognizances shonld have been entered into by R. Be LL.D., on h:s petition presented on the 3d of February last, complaining of an undue Election for the Borough of Great Griinsby. INVERKEITHING ELECTION. The following Members were chosen by ballot as the Com mittee to try the merits of the InVerkeithing Election :•-• Sir H. W. Clinton, Mr. G. Mundy, Mr. J. Ramsbottom, Mr. E. I. Littleton, Sir W. De Crespigny. Mr. J. S. Morritt, Mr.J. Fleming, Lord Glerawley, Mr. J. Hunter Blair, Mr. B. L. Lister, Mr. H. Fynes, Mr. George Gipps, Earl Tem ple, Mr. J. H. Smith, and Sir George Clerk. Mr. CHUTE presented a petition, signed by 500 most re spectable owners and occupiers of land, in the County of Hants, praying for a revision of the Corn Lairs, arid a fur ther duty on the importation of foreign corn.—Read, and or dered to lie on the table. ARMY ESTIMATES. Lord PALMERSTON presented art abstract of the Army Estimates for this year.—Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. I IRISH ELECTION PETITIONS. The Clerk of the Crown presented a Return of the State of the Recognizances to be entered into on the various pe titions complaining of undue Elections in Ireland. Sir .iOHN NEWPORT ruse to present a petition from the Agent acting in London on behalf of the Freeholders of the Counft• of Cork, whose petition had been presented on the 2-id of January last, complaining of an undue return in the Elections for that County. The present petition prayed that time for entering the recognizances on the former petition might he enlarged. The ground on which the prayer of the petition was supported, was, that an opinion had prevailed, almost universally throughout Ireland, that the Act of .5Jd Geo. 111. which prescribed the time within which rrcog nizances should be entered on Election Petitions, did not ex tend to Ireland. The petition stated that several opinions from high legal authorities confirmed this construction of the Act. The petition was then read. On the motion that it should lie on the table, Mr. WYNNE said, that according to the general rule laid down by the House, the prayer of this Petition could not he attended to. To state that the Petitioner or the party con cerned had acted on a misconception of that rule was not a sufficient reason to induce the House to depart from the rule. In the present Case the misconception Was most extraordinary, and yet it was one which seemed to have pervaded the whole of Ireland. The only ground on which he could conceive it to have been founded was, that the operation of the first clause of the Act seas expressly confined to England and Scot land. But then the other parts of the Act most explicitly Comprehended Ireland. Yet throughout the latter country the opinion prevailed that the operation of the Act did not extend to it ; nor teas this mistahe confined to a few persons, for even persons of a high reputations in the Law had fallen into it. Amongst the rest, Mr. Gabbett, a lawyer, whose character stood deservedly very high, and who was the Au thor of " A Digest of the Comparative State of the Laws of England and Ireland," had made the very same mistake. In so extraordinary a case he did think that it might be allow able for Parliament to grant the prayer of this Petition. At the same time he could not but remark that it was not in the power of the House to extend this indulgence generally Perhaps a remedy for this particular class of cases might be provided by passing a short Act, which should recite the prevalence of the mistake in Ireland, and enact that there fore a further time should be allowed for entering the recognizances on Petitions already presented frost► that country. Mr. BATHURST thought the question deserved t7ie serious consideration of the House. As to introducing any Bill to settle the question, it was to be considered that its , )peratiou would be retrospective, and as such he could not think it de sirable. Mt. lIANKES thought it desirable for the House to come to some decision on the general question. Under the circum stances of the mistake having been so general and extensive, he rather agreed with the view taken of the subject by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wynne). It would, therefore, perhaps, he proper for the House to resume the consideration of the sub ject on sonic future day. Thy Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Sir JOHN NEWPORT gave notice, that he would to morrow submit to the House a motion upon the subject of it. The SPEAKER said, that after what had passed on this subject, it would perhaps be proper for him to apprise the House that two other applications had already been made to them on the same subject, but that no definitive order had been yet entered upon the Journals respecting them, nor had the applications yet been absolutely discharged. The Order With respect to them stood on the Order Book. The observations which might be offered to the House, now or on a future oc casion, would therefore include the ease of the Drogheda and Galway Petitions, as well as that just now laid upon the table. Mr. WYNNE thought that, under the present circumstan ces, there were several considerations which demanded the attention of the House. The words of the Act expressly pro vided that the time fur entering the recognizanc es could only be enlarged once. But, on looking into the precedents on this subject, he found that on several occasions the House had thought itself competent to revive as well as to enlarge the time. The Shaftesbury case he thought a sufficient au thority on this point. The SPEAKER begged to remind the House that in two out of the three cases in which the application kad now been made fur enlarging the time, that application had been re fused by the House ; tberufure, if on the Petition now pre sented an order was made fur enlarging the time, there would appear on the Journals contradictory ordurs on precisely the same question. STATE OF THE PRISONS. Mr. CLIVE presented certain papers and returns relative to the number of prisoners confined fur criminal off ences, & c. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice, that on Tuesday next, he intended to submit to the House a motion for an inquiry into the state of the prisons throughout the kingdom: Sir .J. MACKINTOSH said, that it was a very short notice, from Thursday to Tuesday, fur In inging before the House a question of such importance, and hoped the Noble Lord would fix some more distant day than Tuesday. Lord CASTLEREAGH expressed every disposition to ac commodate the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ; and therefore nanied Thursday next. The notice was then entered as for that day. 7 9 ""' COPYRIGHT. Mr. LAMBTON gave notice, that on the 11th of March he intended to submit to the House a motion on the subject of Copyrights. SLAVE TRADE. I Mr. SMI7I-1 (of Cambridge) wished to know what would be the most. convenient day for him to bring forward a Mo tion relative to any instructions that had been given for tak ing ships engaged in the slave Trade, as well as to the Com missioners appointed to gee to Africa, for the purpose of put ting a stop to that trade ? Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that a discussion would take place on that subject to-morrow; and then the Hon. Gentleman might be able to judge as to the time of giving his notice, or whether he might not, on that occasion, intro duce his question. M: - . SMYM said, the subject of his Motion was particu larly connected with the conduct of the Government. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that the discussion of to- , morrow might lead to the explanation wished for by the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. SMITH then fixed his notice fur to-morrow this day.) Mr. TIERNEY conceived that there could be nothing but eon versation in the discussion of to-morrow. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, a discussion was to take place on the Papers that had been laid before the House, and va rious questions would naturally arise upon them. Mr. TIERNEY observed, that the question, of which notice was given for to-morrow, related to a specific treaty, for the fulfilment of which a suns of money had been given. Dr. PHILLIMORE wished to know if the Noble Lord meant to brim, forward a discussi o n on th e Sl ave T ra d e to-morrow ?—Nu answer was given to this question. DEITIES PAID AT GIBRALTAR. Mr. TIERNEY wished to know by what authority certain Duties or Customs were leried on Ships entering the Port of Gibraltar ; and to whose account the monies thus raised were carried ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered, that any duties raised in this way at Gibraltar belonged, as matter of right to the Crown. Mr. TIERNEY again asked, under what authority were they collected, and why should they be considered us the ex clusive property of the Crown ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, be al ways considered the revenues of Gibraltar as being raised under the authority of the Crown. TRANSPORTATION—STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES. Mr. KENNET rose, pursuant to his notice, to submit to the House a motion on the subject of the Tiansportation of CU/Waals, and the State of ew South Wales. lie could not enter upon the more immediate subject of his motion with out adverting to the notice which the Noble Lord had this night given for all imptiry into the state of the Gaols thPoughout the kingdom. He 'did not conceive that official representations on such subjects were Much to be relied on. It was only necessary to turn to the Report on the State of Gaols in Scotland, and to contrast the statements in it with those contained in the excellent publi cation of Mr Gurney. A comparison of the statements in that Report, and in Mr. Gurney's Woth, sufficiently showed the difference between the accounts of Magistrates end those of eye witnesses. With respect to the immediate sub ject of his motion, he had heard it objected to with much surprize, that a Committee sat on the same subject in 1812. It was true, that in 1812 two Committees had been appointed on subjects connected with it, and from both of these consi derable good had resulted. On the report of one of them the Penitenthity had been founded, and on the report of the other a new arrangement of the hulks had taken place. But a great change had taken place since the time when these reports were made. In 1817, many hundreds of convicts had been sent to New South Wales, who had vo lunteered to go thither. This changed the while nature of the subject, and he could not but think that when there were volunteers to undergo that punishment, next in severity to death, it was high time that the attention of Parliament should be turned to the subject. The Honourable Gentle man then read from various returns the numher of persons transported in each year since 1804, for the purpose of showing that the average an nual number was now nearly doubled. Ile also called the attention of the House to the state of the hulks, and complained, that though rusny most humane and beneficial regulations had been made, through the efforts of Lord Sidmouth and Mr. Capper under him, yet that still they were in a situation that required great amendment. With respect to the convict ships, (he expences had in creased from 291. 10s. per man, in 1810, to 341. which was the present expe'nee. The lien. Mem ber could easily prove that considerably more than 200 convicts had been cooped up in a mi serable, if not an inhuman milliner ; and that the noxious and pestiferous vapours which issued from the filthy receptacles of those unfortunate fellow creatures, were sufficient to suffocate, it not kill, all persons within its shocking influence. Having conversed with several witnesses of the facts, he was ready to substantiate his assertions at the Bar of the House, or before the Committee, it the House pleased to comply with his motion.— What might be the dreadful consequences of such a mode of transportation when the. ships reached a hot climate, every one who heard might con ceive, as well as he was able to venture to de scribe. A comparison had been made, at some Gen tlemen thought pertinently, between the situation of !hose belonging to the Army and Navy in a si milar predicament ; but Mr. Bennet denied that there was the smallest similarity. The men be longing to his Majesty's service experienced very different accommodation, and were in every re e spect much better treated. Indeed there could scarcely be the smallest comparison. Soldiers and sailors, it was well known, had the enviable privilege of remaining on deck ; and at no time during a voyage were there more than one-half of either below ; while the convicts, on the other hand, were closely confined in the abomineble manner. already mentioned. The noxious swells which issued front the detestable receptacles of tite convicts, defied, in many instances, the most powerful nerves of the boldest or most humane officers to encounter. Besides, the soldiers were under the constant inspection of their serjeants or corporals during the voyage ; and if any assist ance were wanted for those who became suddenly sick or afflicted, these non-commissioned officers were ready to give the relief revisitc. But the wretched convict was not only doomed to the most miserable sufferines, but also prevented from any relief, if even in the extremity of danger The convict WaS also doomed to suffsr'every rapid progress of moral corruption. During the whole voyage his ears were assailed with indecent 501149, and his principles, at least what portion might still be presumed to remain, attacked by gambols of every alluring or profligate description. In deed, the sacrifice of every mural principle was so strong, and so deeply implanted, that it ap peared as if, thinking they had reached die climax of anarchy and infamy, they gave themselves up to despair, and were only anxious to get rid of life in the most speedy way possible ! Was he to be told, that because a person had been convict ed of a crime, and was undergoing the punishment of the law, that he ought to be condemned to every degree of moral corruption ? The cause of punishment was for the amendment of the person thus condemned. If, instead of amendment, he was cherished in vice, and encouraged, as it were, in every species of moral turpitude, could those who had the care of him be said to be acting iu conformity.to the intentions of the law ? He bestowed many encomiums on Mr. Cooke and Mr. Marsden, from whom he had received very va luable information. All tite facts which were in his possession, and they were such as deserved the most serious consideration of the House, he would lay before the Committee. It had been stated that a person of the most respectable cha racter had been sent out by Government to in quire into the state and management of New South Wale,. So far as that Gentleman's con duct might go, the purposes might be answered. But was lie to be told, that because such a person had been sent out to the colony, that the House ought to abandon all inquiry, and not attend to the important facts which he had to communi cate ? The expence of the establishment to this country had been great, far perhaps beyond what many Gentlemen imagined. The flononrible Gentleman then went into a detaited statement or calculation, proving, that from the year 1788 to 1818, it had cost us upwards of four The average annual expenditure had rather in et eased than dimioished. In 1817, it amounted to tl.e sum of 93,0001. lit sides the enormous expenditure of that establishment, it had been productive of more vice and corruption than all the others together. The faults and laxities of morals of nll the other colonies were nothing ‘vlaen coinpfutai with this 3 inl4 of profligacy.
