The House proceetied in Appeals.—The Oath sere administered to the Earl Fortescue. PE rzerioNs. Lord ERSKINE presented several Petitions in support of the Agricultural Interests in Nottinghamshire and Sussex. He lamented that many Id Ult.'. Petitions, of tire same descrip tion, had so lung lain upon the Table overlooked and ne• i;lected. He did not wish their Lordships to be corruptly partial to ►hem, but, considering their immense interest in lande , ; property, they ought to have stakes driven through their bioneo, and be buried in the cross-roads of ;he country, if they did not exert themselves in its support; more espe ei;,!l as the Petitions opposed no other bodies of Petitioners, Mein; convinced that all classes must thrive or decline toge ther.—Ordered to lie upon the Table. The Loan (12,000,000 l.) Bill, the Funded Debt Charge Bill, tlie Popu:ation Bill, and a number of other Bills, were brought up from the House of Commons, by Mr. Stuart IVortley, sir. Gilbert, Mr. Honya:nud, atol other Menibers,:, and read a first time. The Clerk of the Peace (Ireland) Bill, and other Bills, passed through Committees, and were reported. A Representation from the Chamber of Commerce at Ply 'mouth to the Trinity-house, respecting the Port Duties. was presented by Mr. Maltby.—Ordered to lie upon the Taole. COMMITMENT FOR LIBEL. The Earl GREY presented a Petition from R. G. Butt, stating his hissing brought an action against Sir N. Conant for false imprisonment, in committing him au a charge of libel before any indictment found or information filed, and that the Judges had decided the point against him ; he thereto' e com plained to the House, mutt prayed relief, &c. His Lordship, iu presenting the Petition, adverted to woat he had forouerty said upon the sub:ect of the power assumed, or, he would lather say, usurped by Magistrates, of judging of the nature of libel, by cemmitting ou charges for t i:at alleged offence, without any i,,dictsueot being wan.' or information filed. To the opinion he then expre sed he still adhered, considering, as he did, such a piaci:et to be a departure fro:n the ancient Laws of the Land, and to he contrary to the principles of the Constitution. The LORD CHANCELLOR, with reference to the speech of the :Soho: on the former occasion alluded to, observ ed, that it contained arguments highly deserving of attention, and thoughlie differed with the Noble Earl upon the question of law, he certainly did nut mean to say that the question involved in the Pet,tion was not still deserving the serious attention of thu House. Lord ERSKINE expressed great respect for his Noble and Learned Frienn, hut must still (Life' with i.►ni in opinion as to the law upon this point. The Petitioh was read, and ordered to he upon the Table. THE QUEEN.—PETITION FROM HER MAJESTY. Loin llAcau—Nty Lords, a Petition has been just put t'.'o my hauds,.which I have to o l no time •to cousioet, but which, under the circumstances of the case, I deem it my duty to present to your Lordships. That a Peti;ion from tier Majesty the Queen sthould have Wien into my hands to pre sent, is to he accounted for from the circumstance of a High Authority in tuit House having declined to lay it before :tour Lordships. Peti:ion which I hold in my Osnd is flout bet. Majesty the Qdt. efl, with reference to certain proceedings rt lit cling her which have taken place in this House, and, regardin i , which, her :Majesty is most anxious that the ,oarges against her may not be deci,ied upon rn a Secret Committee, Ipit that she msy have time allowed her to meet those charges, by sending for witnesses to dfiprove theta ; and that helots" any further step is taktn by this House, her Majesty may be braid by her Counsel. Ater here let we implore your Lordships to psuse, and reflect opon the course you are put suing—let me implore your Ltfidships to reflect upon the state of public opinion, and with teterroce to that, up• on svtiat may be the effect of the measures you are adopting. It is utterly impossible, when the composition of the,Seeret Committee is consider td, that any decision come to in that Committee, especially in the absence of the Queen, or her Majesty's Counsel, can have any of that weight which - ought to attach to your Lordships' pro cetdingi. it has beeti urged that this Secret Committee is analogons to a Grand Jury ; but it is impossible that this analogy can hold, when it is recollected that some of the Members of this Committee must necessarily come to it with lull information as to the details ut all the charges agitinst the Queen, and with their minds ne cessarily made up as to their nature and tendency. Of that'Committee, consiving only of 15 Lords, Imo less than tour of the Members are his Majes ty's confidential servants, who must have had pre viously a thorough knowledge of all the evidence On which tie charges are founded against the Qtteen, and who therefore must unavoidably i.ave prejudged her case. Iwo of the Members art those Noble Lords, I should rather say, Most Reverend Prelates, who, one would naturally sup pose, would deem it of the greatest- importance :hat her Majesty should have the benefit to be derived from the prayers of the people of Eng land, and one of those Most Reverend Prelates must be considered as peculiarly responsible for that advice under which the name of her Majesty was not suffered to appear in the Liturgy. 1 will not, however, .pursue this investigation any fur !her, but shall content myself with presenting the Petition 05 her Majesty, to which it is unnecessary for me to call the serious attention of your Lord ships. I therefote move that the Petition of her Majesty the Qaeen be now received. His Lord ship nand the Petition to the Reading k. _ _ The LORD CHANCELLOR-.—My Lords, before ;.ottiog the (potion, I Ihiuk it necessary to say a few w o rd, with reference to what has been said ny the Noble Lord as to my declining to present her Majesty's Petition. The fact is, that when the Petition was handed to me, I had only three minutes given me to consider whether I would present it or not, and considering, as I ilid, so far as 1 bad en opportunity of searching, that there was no precedent of any similar proceeding to be found upon the Joornals, your Lordships will, I trust, give me credit for conscientiously doubting tvhether 1 ought to lend, to such a pro ceeding so unprecedented, the sanction of that station which 1 have the honout of holding in this douse, uy res.:ming her Majesty's Peti,ion. certainly do not mean to say that the Petition of her Majesty ought not to be received; on the contrary, in the absence at all precedents, I am of okillion, that alt: r ule which is spplictl tv all sons as to the right o►f petitioning this Hot§ e, ought to be also applicable to the Quinn, and that therefore her *Majesty's Petition ought to be received. The Earl GRBY—My Lords, I think- it neces sary to say a few words, in coosequence of what has fallen from the Noble and Learned Llrd, with whom 1 cannot agree in his doctrine as to the rffect of the high situation which he holds in this ,House upon his duties as an individual Peer. 1 certainly must protest against a doctrine which so entirely militates against the established rules of this House and the privileges of its 5/lembets, and against that equality which subsists amongst all of them, of whatever rank or station. Un doubtedly if the Noble and Learned Lord does any act sitting on the Woolsack, with regard to the proceedings of this.' House, .such act of course intimate - 00m the high authority with which he is invested ; but evre-a tse Nob:e Lord quits" the Woolsack to address the House, hr is rubject to the same duties and possesses precisely the same privileges .s any other Peer in this House. It is therefore that 1 cannot agree with the Noble and Learned Lord in the doctrine which he has laid down ; nor can I at all understand why toe . high station which the Noble and Learned Lot d fills in this House should have prevented him, as an individual Peer, from presentiug the Petition, though 1 am perfectly rearty to do justice to the motives by which the Noble and Learned Lord has been actuated. The LORD CHANCRLLOR—If the House will point out to me the duty which, in the station I have the honour to fill, I ought to execute, I shall be most h. , ppy to comply with their directions ; but, in the ebsence of any rule or precedent to guide me, I may surely be allowed conscientiously to douht as to the course I ought to putsile I had no ether motive in this case than to my do duty; ter, with regard to the Queen, I 'oeg leave most oistitict!y to state, 'hat 1 will not consent to abate one particle of he established principle of the lass of England, that every individual accused shall tie :teemed to be innocent until proved to be guil:y. But still may be allowed •to doubt sto the course of proceeding. I refused to com mileicate to this house a letter front tier jesty, because I did not think myself justified in doing so by any precedent or analogy. Watt re gard to her,Mejesty'sPetitioo, I doubted whether would be fi•ting for me to present it ; but int quest itthably the Queen as a subject must have a right, in some way, of bringing her case before the house, anti therefore it appears to me that her Majesty's Petition ought to be received. Lord HOLIAND-1 rout entirely- disagree, my Lnrils,4illi the doctrine of the Noble and Learned Lot d, es to the effete of the nigh station which ;:e bolds in this House upon his duties or privi leges as an individual Peer; nor can I. conceive any principle more subversive of the rules and orders of this House, tan that of the supposed influen, e of any high station upon the sets of the person holding that station in his capacity as a Peer. The Noble and Learned Lord mip. , ,ht un doubtedly, as a Peer et this House, have pre sented this or any other Petition in the same Ulan oiler as any other Peer, without any reference whatever to his duties on the Woolsack. The Noble and Learned Lord'undoubtedly acted (ria rec!ly in dectinoe; to present to this Ilouse a let ' ter from the Queen, because that would have been an act emanating from his station upon the Woolsack, and consequently would have been an act of the House. But I protest most decidedly against the doctrine, that every -.et done by any Noble and Learned Lord, wl4) tills the high sta tion upon your Lordships' Woolsack, should be considered as an act of the House, thongh only • done by such Noble and Learned Lord iu his ca pacity of an individual Peer. Such a principle would he entirely subversive of that 'equality amongst the Members of this Home-, which is our great security for freedom of debate. The Earl of LIVERPOOL.--I do not wish, my Lords, to prolong this conversation, but I must say a few words in consequence of the remarks which have been made upon the conduct of my Noble and Learned Friend. It can never be at tempted to be established that every Peer of this House is bound to present any Petition that is handed to him, because, without menniug any analogy to the present case but mere general argument, it might happen that a Petition might be handed to a Peer which might be directed against his nearest and dearest connections ; it' can never surely be maintained that a Peer so applied to is bound to present that Peti tion ; he may justly consider it as only in tended :o hurt his feelings,. and he is justified in declining to present it. With regard to this Petition of her Majesty, 1 felt, on application being made to myself, I felt that as one of his Majesty's coefidential servants I was riot the per son that ought to be called upon to present it, and my Noble anti Learned Friend, being also a Minister, was equally justified in refusing. It certainly, bovVever, is not my intention to op pose the reception of the Queen's Petition, be cause, in the absence of all precedent, I am-satis fied that her Majesty is at all events equally entitled with the lowest of the King's subjects to petition this House, end upon that principle, therefore, 1 mutt support the receiving of. her Majesty's Pe tition. The Marquess of 1./kr:snow:sr—l agree so far, my Lords, with the Noble Ell who has just sat down, that undoubtedly every Peer in this House i 3 at liberty, in the exercise of a sound discretion, to say whether or not he will prevent any Peti , iou that is handed to him, and his decision so taken ought to be subject to no appeal, as to the opinion of any other Noble Lords But it is altogether a dittereut question, when 4. he Noble and Leaned Lord on the WYool• sack states tr. 4 a ground Ica ro. p eNvo int; a Petition. a consideration derived from the ant hiaity of hi. high. station ; and I at:ree with my Noble Friend, the Noble Baron, that there is and ought to be a clear disti!iction be• tween the acts of the Noble and Learntql Lord as the Speaker of this House, and his acts as an in dividual Peer. In the House of Connhons, where the Speaker is elected by the House, his acts must, from his situation, be neeesarily considered #s he acts of the House; but .here, where the Speaker is appointed by the Crown, it is of great importance that a clear distinction shosi;,i be drawn ht tweeo the acts of she Noble Lotd (who ever he may be) on the Woolsack, as the Speaker of this House, and his acts done in his capacity of an individual Peer, it} which he is subject to the same duties, mot enjoys precisely the same • privileges as the other Peers of this House. The LORD CHANCPLLOR---My Lords, I wish most distinctly to disclajua all persondi motives.--- I have no ivisi; but to dh my duty, and iu what ever way that duty is pointed out to me by your Lordships. 1 admit the doctrine, that on my (pitting the Woo:sack 1 act as an individual Peer of this House; but I have a duty to perform not only as a Peer, but to the Peerage —to take care that nos sting is introdpced into this House incon sistent with its forms and usages. The Noble Earl may smile, but I r ) o not mean to be incon twetent. I know that I have been suhje cted to abuse ; I do not mean abuse in its vulgar sense, but to something like it, as fAr as one can expect it in this I-louse, to objections :int., remarks re specting my conduct ; and had I r esenteel ;his Petition, 1 shookd prob6bly have hcen arraigned by some Noble Lords for not paying sufficient attention to the forms and usages of ;lee House. The Earl GREY—My Lords, I wish-most (lift: tinctly to disclaim imputing any personal motives to the Noble and Learned Lord. My only object was, to protest against the doctrine of the it). fluence of the high siatiun of the Noble and Learned Lord over tiis acts, when acting merely in the capacity of a Peer of this House. Lord HOLLAND—I also, my Lords, am desirous of disclaiming the imputation of any personal mo tives to the Noble and Learned Lord ; my only object being, in common with my Noble Friend, to get rid of the pernicious doctrine of the in fluence of high station upon the conduct of an individual Peer of this House. Lord ERSKINE—My Lords, as we Are all agreed hat her Majesty's Petition may he now read, the conversation is ended ; but it has been important, because 'be rules and orders of the House utt every subject connected with the rights of the subject, are of great value It. has gken me prat pleasure to observe, amidst all the differences of opinion, thet there has been but one est - fires:4nm of kindness and respect towards my Noble an 4 Learned Friend on the Woolsack. He complains, neverthdess, how often he is teased anti troubled on th e forms of the House, which every imam in his station must necessarily he; for myself I can only lament that I was delivered from such troubles so soon. • 'fh, Petition of Her Majesty was then received and read by the Reading Cletk at the Table, as tollows " To THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL IN PARLIANIENV ASSEMBLED. " CAROLINE R. " The Queen having been informed that proceedings ar• about to he instituted against her in the House of Lords, feels it necessary to approach your Lordships as a Petitioner and a Fellow-subject. She is advised that, according to tlio forms of your Lordship? House, no other mode of communi., cation is permitted. " Now, as at all times, she declares her perfect readiness to meet every charge affecting her honour; and she challenges the most complete investigation of tier conduct. But she protests in the fist place against any secret inquiry; and the House of Lords should notwithstanding persist in a pro ceeding so contrary to every principle of justice and of law, she must in the next place declare, that even from such ant unconstitutional course she can have nothing to apprehend, unless it he instituted before the arrival of those witnesses whom she will summon immediately to expose she whole oli the machinations against her. She is anxious that there should now be no delay whatever in finishing the inquiry; and none shall be occasioned by her Majesty. But the Queen. cannot suppose that the House of Lords will commit so cry+ ing an injustice as to authorise a secret examination of her conduct in the absence of herself and her Counsel, while her defence must obviously rest upon evidence which f , , , r some ir weeks cannot reach this country, The instant that it arrives she will intreat the House of tprds to proceed' in any way they may think consistent with the ends of justice ; but in, .the mean time, and before the first step is taken, her Majesty desires_ to be heard by her Counsel at your Lordships' Bar this day upon the subject matter of the Petition!' Lord DACRE said a few words in support of the prayer oi the Petition, and then moved that her Majesty's Counsel be called to the bar. The motion was agreed to, and her Majesty's Counsel were accordingly called. A pause of some minuia9 ensued, while the messengers went to inform Mr. Bionghatri and Mr. Derimati !bat their Lordships desired their atiendanec. COUNSEL IN SUPPORT OF THE QUEEN'S PETITION. The two Ledined Genlemen, accompanied by Mr. IVILLIAms, then appeared at the bar. The Petition was again read. Mr. BROUGHAM then said, he had the honour' of appear ing as Counsel for her Majesty the Queen ; he felt deeply sensible how inadequate he was to the task assigned to him . The object of his Illustrious Client was a short delay before their Lords!!ips should commence their Investigation. This wish arose from no personal consideration wilate,er, nor from any objection to an immediate and spctrdy Inquiry ott her part, but it was wit!) a view and boy - , of Jl;3reviating the ulterior krogevtlinds.
