It was neces in consequence to order the regiment to a station ihe - irivestigation could take place, and it was ied from the frontier into cantonments to Arcot. It was said that because the men did duty between the act of mutiny and the removal of the regiment to Arcot, they ought • not to be amenable to a court. martial. The plain answer to that was, that the duty which military law intended in such cases was active service, and not, as in this instance, merely marching from one place to another. But he would read to the Court the opinion of Sir William Follett, then At torney- General, Sir F. Thesiger, then Solicitor- General, and Mr. Loftus Wigram, standing counsel to the East India Company, which would, he trusted satisfy the Hon. Proprietor as to the legality of the court-martial and the competency of its proceedings in relation to the Sepoys. He might add, that all the pap rs in the possession of the Court of Direc• ors bad been placed before those learned gentle men. Their opinion, then, was, that the letter of the Deputy-Adjutant General to the Com mander of the regiment, ordering the restoration of their pay, and sanctioning their return to duty, would not render the subsequent investigation illegal, nor invalidate the trial of the ringleaders before a court-martial. Their opinion further was, the although the regiment had for nine months been al lowed ro do duty and retain its arms, there was no irregularity in afterwards trying and punishing those who had been principals in the mutinous proceedings. Mr. SULLIVAN wished to see the case upon which the opinion had been given. He had no wish, how ever, to stand up against the opinion of the law officers whose names bud been mentioned, if they had been fairly put in possession of all the facts. The CHAIRMAN repeated that all the papers in pos session of the directors had been laid before the lea-ned gentlemen before their opinion was giver. Mr. Sergeant GASELER thOught 'it inexpedient to bring such questions before the Court, not because the proprietors were not entitled to consider them, but be cause many gentlemen merely attended to support the directors without knowing the merits of any case that might be before them. The Hein: Proprietor (Mr. Sullivan) had, however, put himself out of court by resting the case upon a legal opinion. In his own view the unfortunate Sepoys had not been fairly treated. Mr. CLARIER considered the introduction of such enestions exceedingly objectionable, because calcu lated to lead •th e nat i ve soldiers of India to suppose they had in the Court of % Proprietors a court of appeal through --which they might escape the conse quences ofguilt. - He regarded the motion as neither more nor less" than a persuasion to insubordination.— (" No,'' and " Hear.") Mr. GORDON strongly denounced the proceedirgs of the Court of Directors in this matter. He consi &reel them a self•elected and corrupt corporation.— (Loud cries of " Order, order ; " Chair.") The CitelnatAle—l cannot sit in this chair and hear such language as that-applied to the Court of Directors. Mr. GORDON—Then leave it.—(Loud laughter.) The CHAIRMAN, having restored order, put the motion to a show of hands, and it was lost by a con siderable majority. THE AMEERS OF SINDE. Captain DICRENFON then rose to make the motion of. which he had given notice, with respect to the exiled Ameers of Sinde : " That this Court, deeply lamenting the prolonged exile of the Princes of Sinde and the failure of those endeavours from time to time made for the termination of their unmerited sufferings, most earnestly recom mend to the Coart of Dirt ctors that an °piss:nullity be .tf,rded such of them as suryive to be heard in their de fence before some competent and impartial tribunal, to be nominated by the Government of 'Lelia, and, if innocent, that they be reinstated in their private rights ; also that a like consideration, where the same may appear equi table, be extended to the heirs of such of the Amcers as have died in captivity. `• That the following papers be laid beft.r© the Court of Proprietors:— " Copy of the treaty entered into by Captain Seton, in behalf of the Bombay Government with the Hydrabad State in the year 1808. "Copy of the instructions furnished the envoy who was deputed to Hydrabad to aer.ul the above treaty. " Copies of the returned letters to the late Nur Ma homed Chief Ameer of Ilydraba.l alluded to in the Go v-reer•General's dispatch to The Secret Committee, under date 21st Feb., 1838. Copies of other unpublished letters hem Nur Ma homed ate ut the same time explanatory of his unwilling. ness to coeds to the Governor-General's proposals. "Cop) 01 the unveil) 'stied portion of the Seery ary to the Governor-Gvnerel'a letter to the Resident of Snide, under date 6th September, 1838. " Statsment of the respective portions of territory, which *ere guaranteed by separate treaties to the Hydrae t.ad Ameers by the treaty of the 11th Mardi, 18,"A. " List of the Arne' rs who have l e,n consigned to exile, shosing the stipends vi Mutt they have from time to time received." Colonel Diceostsorr said--I regret Mr. Chairmen, that among my reasons for this delayed motion in favour of the Ameers of Sinde, I should have occa• sion to bring so prominently forward th::.* apparent disteg .rd of those reiterated assurances from the chair that measures had been taken, and would his persevered in, with the view of obtaining for these still exiled princes that redress to which their un merited sufferings gives them such an all-powerful claim, as will more Tully appear by the follow big brief recapitulation of our proceedings to which I alltCe : Under date Sept. 23, 1846 The Chairman said that possibly the choice of the lion. Mover might be obtained isiihout pressing his motion to a division. lie p , -rhups &tired to know what Lad been done in reference to the subj• et of his motion. He (the Chairman) would therefore state that a dispatch had been foraarded some time sincv, calling for the opinion of the Government ot India upon the en tire question—upon the a lio!e stater)f of aiis with regtird to Snide. The war in the Punjaub had intervered, and, without doubt, had prevented an answer being returt ed. Since its conclusion, the Court had reiterated the call, and at no distant period they looked for a reply. As soon as such communication should arrive it would become the subject of the most serious and anxious deliberation on the part of the Court. Under these circumstances, he trus,t-d that the lion. Proprietor might not deem th-•t his duty required him to persevere in the motion, end that trio statement welch had been made would, in the present state of the proceeding, be regarded as satisfac n Under data Dec. 16 ,1846 The Chairman raid tic could state nothing definitely now. All he cou ld say was, that the question had en gaged, and was still engaging the serteus atttntie n of the Court of Directors.—The Court then on the motion adjourned. And under da'e Sept. 18 that The Chairman belieyen the Court of Directors would be found ts be justified in the course they had b en pursuing. —The Court adjourned at four o'clock. Increased as the difficulties are against which myself and more able coadjutors hive to contend, by et hat appears such sys'eniatic deception on the part of those who invited, and on whom we accordingly reposed so large a degree of confidence, we, nevertheless have the satisfaction to know that there is in this moat righteous cause a principle of vitality, if I may so speak, which is well calculated to keep alive hope, and to animate us to continued exertion ; and for this advantage we are, Mr. Chairman, immeasurably in debted to the body over which you so ably preside ; for it is notorious that you did, after a long and patient consideration of all the circumstances attending the con fiscation of the Sinde principality, record your conscientious belief that the wrongs thereby inflicted on these princes were alike inexpedient, unjust, and impolitic. Keeping in mind, gentlemen, this most important fact, and that whenever this Court has been moved to consider the claims of these princes, not one of our executive ever came forward to palliate, much less to justify, that most arbitrary decree which has consigned them to dethronement, spo liation, and exile—an exile, as observed by the late Premier, in the more recent case of one of the Ceylon conspirators, worse thin death itself, and of the soul-rending effects of which, upon the Ameers, some idea may be formed from their remark to Sir George Arthur in one of his humane endeavours to mitigate the bitterness of their woe, "we would rather dwell under a tree in our own land then in palaces among strangers"—keeping in mind, likewise, Mr. Chairman, that when again and again invited so to do, not one of your colleagues ever attempted to rebut any one of the arguments advanced by my honourable , friend Mr. Sullivan in that masterly speech which I now hold in my hand, pronounced by one of your most distinguished members to be among the very best which had ever been delivered within these walls— and in which, after enumerating those friendly con cessions from time to time made by the Ameers to meet the views of the British Government. and the violation of I don't know h)w many so'emn treaties by the State, which hau been so benefitei.—oe trium phantly exonera ed them from the gravamen of all these charges which had been heaped upon them since the year 1828. Yes, gentletnen, I do hope, with such th- it claims to your cominisenition, that you will second •my endeavours i ll behalf of these friendless victims of our inswiable ai•pe tire for te.ritorial aggranuisement, fu tilt, IJt:trrb of whom, and in the name of those millions of our native subjects who have been taught to loi:k to the purity, the collective wisdom, and the. ;ad of this tribunal or even. banded justice, I ;:sk you to place at our disposal every tittle of documentary ev ace w hich is calculated to awaken a greater :use-re:4 than i)as yet been mani:tsted for the fate of those helpi-zs sufferers, and to efface that impression to their disadvan tage, which it has been tae sedulous object of the late and present Alini3try to ert , .ite by that astounding declaration of the late Pr: "that the Blue book contsins, subJtanti,ily and h stay, Ali that is material to the case ;" wi,ereus, pvers vow moved for it c: .10d be shown tliat Ai, :Iv wed gimimis of our first act of aggre.,sion against the independency of Sinde as therein justified, are at variance with a N°.17,860.] LONDON, FRIDAY E E G N 7 DECEMBER 21, 18i9.

EXPLOSION ON GAS IN GREAT QUEEN- STREET.- Last evening, about six o'clock, the inhabitants of Great Queen-street and the neighbourhood were thrown into a state of alarm by hearing a loud explosion, which re sembled the discharge of a park of artillery. It appears that Mr. Willson, of OS, Great Queen -street, smelling the gas escaping from some of his pipes, went below to the meter to ascertain the cause, having taking a candle with him, when he was suddenly thrown to the ground by the explosion which followed. In an instant the rafters of the floor of the shop, with the ceiling of the kitchen, were blown up, and the glass smashed throughout the house. The shopman was completely lifted off his l egs by th e tearing of the flooring. and nia face so severely burnt that he was immediately taken to King's College Hospi tal. Mr. Willson, jun., was also thrown down a flight of steps, but fortunately escaped froaa any serious injury; and a cat which was asleep under the pipe which burst was blown completely through a square o f g l ass. b rea ki ng one of its legs by the concussion. It is feared the unfor tunate shcpman will never again recover his eyesight. the exp!osion having blinded him the moment it occurred,' and Mr. Willson's face was so severely burnt that he was obliged to send immediately for medical assistance. Two other domestics were severely injured. The engines were sent for, but their services were not required, no ignition having taken place. FAT CATTLF.—Some fine specimens of the short horned breed were exhibited in Eccles yesterday. The cattle were bred by Mr. G. Sutcliffe, of the Bridgewater Hotel, Worsley, and fed on the Earl of Ellesmere's Home Farm, and were certainly the finest specimens of their class that have been seen for a long time in that celebrated breeding neighbourboed.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. A quarterly general Court of the East India Com pany was held on Wednesday; Sir A. Galloway in the chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN announced that he had received a letter from Major-General Thack well, acknowledging the receipt of the resolution of thanks adopted at a Court held in April last, to the officers, &c, engaged in the victory of the Punjaub. The letter was read by the clerk. The CHAIRMAN then acquainted the Court that with reference to certain proceedings at the last general Court, he had to state that copies of the minute of Sir Charles Metcalfe, relative to the right of native princes to adopt a son or successor, together with same other papers on the same subject, had been laid on the proprietors' table; also a list of auperannua tions that had been granted since the last Court to the company's servants in England. The CHAIRMAN lastly informed the Court that the warrants for the payment of the half-yearly dividend on the company's stock would be due and payable on the 7th of January next. The preliminary business having been disposed of, the CHAIRMAN called upon Mr. Sullivan to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice. Mr. M. LEWIN rose to order, and claimed a right .to bring forward his motion which had been post poned from the last Court day. The CHAIRMAN said the Hon. Proprietor had given no proper notice of his motion. Mr. LEWIN contended that the intimation which he gave at the last meeting was a sufficient notice. He denied the right of the chairman to decide, and said he would not give way. The chairman was only an individual proprietor like himself; and he had no right to take functions upon ,himself which belonged only to the Court,—(Cries of " Order, order.") The CHAIRMAN said he would put an _ end to the discussion by calling upon, the secretary to read the minutes of the last Court in relation to the question. The minutes were read, from which it appeared that the notice in question had been postponed, and that no notice of renewal having been given, it had dropped as a matter of course. Mr. Lawns still insisted upon his right to address the Court; but be was received with cries of " order," and "chair." The CHAIRMAN thereupon appealed to the Court, whether further discussion of the question was not a waste of time.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Lewin having resumed his seat, THE SEPOYS IN THE MADRAS CAVALRY. Mr. SULLITAN then, in pursuance of a notice he had given, proceeded to move " That copies of all correspondence relative to a court-martial held on the sth of September, 1844, on cert a i n S e p oys o f t h e 6th Madras Cavalry, be laid before this Court, and copies of all opinions given by law officers on the subject." It might be asked, why he mixed himself up in the troubled waters which had been first stirred up by his Honourable Friend Mr. Lewin ; but he would frankly tell the Court that it was because his Hon. Friend who from his entrance into . the public service had been an able, upright, and honourable man, had, by his unfortunate language, rendered himself so ob noxious in that Court, that even if he had an angel's cause to plead he would be unable to do him justice. From the character of the discussion which had taken place on this subject at the last Court, it appeared to him that the Chairman and the Court of Directors were ignorant of the real merits of the case ; still, if it was asserted the law officers of the company hrd given an opinion in favour of the course adopted with regard to the Sepoys, namely, that they were liable to be brought to trial any time within three years after the offence, the production of those opinions would at once justify the Indian Government. It was therefore their interest to bring them forward at once and give them all possible publicity. So far as his impression went, the opinion of the Commander in-Chief was directly opposed to that of the law officers, if indeed they had ever given such an opinion as that he referred to. His own view, though he was no lawyer, was, that if a soldier com mitted an offence on the Ist of January, and returned to his duty, and had his arms and accoutrements re stored to him on the 3d January, he could not after wards be brought to trial . for that offence. If there actually existed so material a difference between the ('pinion of the Commander in Chief and that of the law officer., the sooner they were reconciled the better. Another point to which he should direct the attention of the Court was the legality of the court-martial by whom the neer) had been tried. They were entitled, under the Articles of War, to a certain proportion of native officers ; but this proportion had not been in cluded in the members of the Court. The charge was that they had taker. an illegal oath; yet it appeared they had for a considerable period been permitted to perform all the duties of soldiers. Cui bona, an agi tation in relation to the proceedings of a court-martial held so many years ago ? His reply was the vast im portance to the tranquillity and good government of India, of all their servants, military as well as civil, being well affected towards the company, and of there being not even the appearance of illegality or injustice. If the agitation was in any way mischievous, the Court of Directors were themselves only to blame, inasmuch as they had taken no steps to have the sub ject thoroughly investigated at the proper time. Mr. Mar.coera LRWIN said he rose to second the motion of his Hon. Friend Mr. Sullivan, and in doing so he would not detain the Court at any great length. In the first place, the cause of this meeting had not been explained. The Governor of Madras withheld fr.an the Sepoys their accustomed pay, and imme diately after that the Sepoys made a passive resis tance. This lasted until measures were taken to repress it, and the Sepoys after a while were recon ciled on the arrival of the Division officer, General Watson, the complaints of the men having been lis tened to, and their pay restored. An order of the Commander-in Chief, under the date of the 21 of November, 1844, was in these terms : " With the pre sentation of these arzes (petitions to General Watson, which the Sepoys had been desired to present) the excitement commenced to subside, and an order which had been dispatched by the Government the moment the error which had been committed by the Pay Department was known, having been published the same day, cancelling the previous order for the dis continuance of the beats, the men gradually returned to their duty." Here they had a plain statement that the men returned to their duty on the mistake about their pay being corrected. Most peop'e would have thought that the regiment having returned to their duty, that circumstance would have been taken as a means of conciliating them. But no; the men were kept to perform the services of the Government for four months longer, and still further they were kept perfectly unconscious of the fate which was awaiting them all that time. So soon as it was found that the men had returned to their duty a letter was addressed by the Commander-in Chief to the Regiment in these words:—" The Commander-in. Chief has received the Brigadier's (Watson) letter of the 10th: of December, with Major Lichfield's (the commander of the regiment) of the Bth of December enclosed. The Commander-in-Chief is happy to understand from these circumstances that the men of the 6th Light Cavalry have returned to their duty, and that they appear to be sensible of their late misconduct. But as his Lordship cannot allow the regiment, under the reproach of such unworthy and unsoldierlike beha• viour, to continue at a station where it might be required for employment on actual service, he has ordered it to be sent into cantonment at Arcot." Now, there was a clear punishment which the regiment had incurred in consequence of the dis obedience of orders. It was considered to have com mitted a breach of duty, and therefore that it could not be employed on another service. Both within and without the regiment it was thought that the letter of the Commander-in-Chief, written by the Deputy Adjutant-General, had disposed of the whole case, and that nothing more would have been heard about it. It was perfectly clear, after the matter had been thus disposed of in a regular way, there was no law authorising their being tried again. His Hoo. Friend, Mr. Sullivan, had referred to a case where a man had been tried three years after the commission of his offence, hut that was only the case of a man who had had no opportu nity of being tried before. The offences of these men were very well known, and it was clearly laid down by Simmons that these men could not be tried again. It was perfectly clear there was an opportunity of trying them in the first instance, seeing that they passed through a country where there was an abun dance of soldiers, just after the offence with which they were charged had been committed. But nothing was done. The men were kept in a state of perfect unconsciousness of what fate awaited them. Some of the men who were guilty of this mutiny were brought forward and punished for a minor offence, and by the mere accident of being so punished for that minor offence they bad escaped the greater punishment. Major OLIPHANT—Had any individual been singled out, or was the whole regiment charged with disorderly conduct. Mr. LEWIN could not say—(Beer, hear)—but it was perfectly well known who were the offenders, as some of them had gone to Captain Byng's quarters, which was distinctly mentioned as the chief gravamen of their crime. These men were for nine months em- ployed under the orders of the Governor in doing duty on the frontier, where their services were particularly required, and had they not rendered those services others must have been called in to perform them, lie (Mr. Lewin) said there was something of a disgusting character in the fact of the Government, who were meditating the destruction of these men, reaping the benefit of their services. 0,1 the men re turning to their duty the thing was at an end ; hut then the question arose whether they were guilty of mutiny ? So soon as they were paid they showed a readiness to return to their duty, and the Government should have shown a readiness to perform their duty. The Mutiny Act, which engag'd the services of the soldier, guaranteed the plyment of those services. Was it the weaker perry only that was bound by a contract ? Let the Court look at the cave of the Nottingham rioters, which took place the other day. Those men committed a ten times higher offence than the Sepoys in question, and yet were only punished with three months' imprisonment. But these Sepoys were put on their trials for life, and two of them were shot. They were tried by a court (which required thirteen members) composed of no more than seven, a junior Major being President of a court appointed to try an issue affecting the lives of seventeen of his fellow-creatures. Very different was the treatment received by Captain Byng, an officer of the regiment, whose trial fol lowed that of the Sepoys, the charge against him not involving an issue of life. In the case of that officer, the court-martial was composed of thirteen members, the President being a distinguished Peninsular General, who commanded a division of the army at the time. That being so, it was very clear that they had one law for the natives, and another for Euro peans.—(Hear, hear.) Major OLIPHANT—Captain Byng was tried by hie peers. The CHAIRMAN—The law has a privilege. Mr. Lawler—Admitting that to be so, was the native soldier entitled to a less privilege? There was another point which had been referred to by Mr. Sullivan. There were two of theme Sepoys shot for administering illegal oaths to their comrades. There was no such overt act mentioned in the charge on which they were tried. Not a word on the subject occurred in the articles framed against them. It was, therefore, clear that those men had been tried for one offence and shot for another. There was another point to which he thought it right to call the attention of the Court—that was the Special Court held at Arcot preliminary to the court-martial, which he (Mr. Lewin) contended had vitiated the evhole case for the prosecution. Then there was the counter decision of Lord Gough, the Commander-in- Chief in India. Suppose there were two judges in the Court of Queen's Bench, and one of them gave a de cision by which a prisoner had been saved, would another judge, having a ce ordinate jurisdiction, be justified in hanging that prisoner? If he did so, he (Mr. Lewin) apprehended be would be guilty of a high offence, for which he would have to answer at the bar of justice. Besides, the Sepoys had not the advantage of counsel to plead in their def ne During the trial of Colonel Bell, it might be known to the members of the Court, that all the officers had counsel assigned them by the Government, and the proceedings were all public; but it was far otherwise in the case of those Sepoys, and every man of them was in consequence victimised. But if there was one circumstance which called for the attention of the Court more than another, it was the proceedings preliminary to the trial. The emissaries of the Marquis of Tweeddale were sent up to Arcot to get up the evidence, but when they pro ceeded to investigation they could not get at all the evidence they wanted. They had native officers before them and interrogated them as to their knowledge of this mutiny. Those native officers who were under articles of war would bare been guilty of the offence of death if they had ac knowledged their guilt in the transaction; so they said they knew nothing at all about it. A letter of the Commander-in-Chief, written by the Deputy- Adjutant• General of the Army, of the date of the 14'h of August, 1844, states that " they (the native officers) have given information, some more some less, but nose have stated any thing worth knowing." That was a splendid specimen of the rhetoric of the Marquis of Tweeddale. Afterwards six of those officers were dismissed without trial for not having stated " any thing worth knowing." Then there was a bJdy of dragoons and others eta tioned round the place of trial, by which the men's minds were intimidated, an.l that was called a cour-, martial. 13:sides, if these men had been alio-.ved counsel, not a single witness iv ho appeared against them would have been allowed to be heard; the evidence would have been rejected on the ground of its having been suborned. So intent was Lord I Tweeddale on finding the men guilty, that he passed an order, with respect to the native officers who could not state anything worth knowing, which was directly contrary to law, and there was no precedent of a native commissioned officer being dismissed the service without a trial before a court-martial. Lord Tweeddale, however, made it out by a trick that these men were dismissed by an order of the Government, and that the Go vernment had given their consent to it. The circumstances which preceded the trial should be noticed, because they plainly proved that the Sepoys had not the slightest opportunity for defending them • selves. Their relations were refused admission to them, and they had not a list of the witnesses given them, which they ought to have had. Simmons, who has written' on the law of courts-martial, says it is incumbent on both the prosecutor and the accused to give a list of witnesses. lie sap— " Unless there were some sufficient reason to justify its bei.-g withheld, it wonld not be in accordance with the existing practice of the service to refuse the prisoner a list of the witnesses for the prosecution ; the almost universal practice is to give it as a matter of course." Again, he says— "As the prisoners' witnesses, if duly sum mone d, must be known to th e Judge-Advocate, it fellows that to puce the parties on a tooting, affording to each op portunities of questioning and supporting objections to 'h e competency of witnesses, the witnesses to support the prosecution should b e ma d e k nown to the prisenere." —Sammons, p. 170. All these men were afterwards sent to Madras to endure their transportation. At a very early period the Madras Government appeared to have become aware of the illegality of the sentence passed on the Sepoys, for when they were sent as convicts to Madras, and it became known that a writ of habeas corpus was likely to issue, they were suddenly removed without the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Now, after that the men had returned to their duty under the circum stances which had been stated, the placing them on their trial was not only in contravention of numerous precedents, but one of these precedents had been furnished by the Marquis of Tweeddale himself in his decision on the case of private Shekh Aly of the 30:h regiment of Native Infantry. Shekh Aly was tried by a native general court-martial for sleeping on his post. The Court found him guilty, but accompanied their decision with the following remark :—" The Court begs most respectfully to bring to the notice of his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief, that it appears in - evidence that the prisoner was allowed to return to his post after having been found asleep on it, and that he was released from confinement." The Commander-in Chief afterwards di•approved of the proceedings altogether, and, indi cated by the following extract from a letter under his hand of the 28th of December, 1842, that the Court had been wrong in passing any sentence :—" Under the circumstances (said his Lordship) which appear in evidence, of the prisoner having been placed in the main guard f)r the present offence, and subsequently released, and permitted to return to his duty, I con sider that he was improperly brought to trial for an offence which had been previously disposed of, and consequently withhold my approval from these proceedings; and I have to express my surprise that the officer commanding the 30th Regiment Native In fantry, with a knowledge of the facts, should have recommended the trial of the prisoner." Mr. Lewin concluded by'saying, he should never quit this sub ject until justice had been done. Mr. WEEDING opposed the resolutions, on the ground that the Court of Proprietors was not a proper tribunal to review the sentence of a court mertia'. He had no doubt that the Noble Lord whose conduct was coenplained of had acted under a due and imperative sense of duty. The CHAIRMAN said this was the third time this subject had been debated before the Court of Proprie tors ; but if ever there was any question unsuitable for discussion in such an assembly, this was one.— (Hear, hear.) The discipline of the Indian army wts too precious to be sacrificed by being exposed b-fore a tribunal which had not the means, and never was intended to have the power, of entering upon ques tions of this great importance. With regard to mili tary discipline, the Commander-in-Chief had absolute power. An offence of a very serioue character had been committed by a native regiment, which had previously distinguished itself, and the Governor- General recommended, in consequence, that it should be disbanded. The Marquis of Tweeddale, wire was an old soldier, however, knew it was impos ible the whole regiment could be guilty of so abominable a crime as that imputed to thew, and he, in consequence of that opinion, declined to dis- CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT: _ _ (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Baron Rol.rs.) TRIAL OF HUGH SWAN FOR MISDEMEANOUR. (C ntinued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After the examination of several other witnesses, the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. JAMES then submitted to the Court that this indictment could not be supported. The charge was founded upon two sections of the sth and Gth Victoria, which Act he should contend, so far as this charge was concerned, was repealed by the 12th and 13:h Victoria, known as Lord Brougham's Bankrupt Lsw Consolidation Act. By the first section of that Act it was enacted, that from and after its coming into effect all other Acts and parts of Acts, except as re garded certain particulars to be mentioned in a schedule to the Act annexed, should be and were re pealed. Now he found by the schedule referred to that this Act of the sth and Gth Victoria was among those that were repealed, except those portions re lating to the appointment of commissioners, the pay , ment of their expenses, and other !natters, none of which had the slightest reference to any criminal charge of this description or any other; and he sub mitted, therefore, that this case must fall to the ground, the Act of Parliament upon which it was based being clearly repealed by the subsequent and existing statute. • Mr. PARRY, on the same side, urged that it being perfectly clear that the sth and 6th Vict. was repealed, except as regarded the exceptions mentioned in the schedule, the only question was whether any of these exceptions applied to the present case ; and it appeared to him that the only point which would re quire a word of observation was with reference to the first section of the new Act, which excepted the re emery and appropriation of any penalty for any , offence committed under the Act. He should, how ever, contend that this clearly was only intended to apply, to the pecuniary penelties fixed by several sec tions of the Act, and that the word " penalty " could never properly be construed to extend to the punish ments of transportation or imprisonment. Mr. CLARKSON, in support of the indictment, said he should contend that the 12th and 13th of Victoria kept alive all the liabilities to which bankrupts were subject by the previous Act of Parliament, and he felt convinced that the Court, when it saw that every one of the previous provisions was re-enacted in this statute, would be slow in coming to a conclusion of so mischievous a character, as that immunity was to be given to wrong-doers between the period of the repeal of the old statute and the re - enactment of the new one. According to his construction of the latter statute, it was intended to keep alive all the matters relating to bankruptcy until the Act itself came into operation on the 11th of October; and unless their Lordships should be of opinion that the Legislature intended there should be a hiatus, or that it was a cases misses on their part, it appeared to him they could not decide that the present indictment was bad. The Learned Counsel then referred to that portion of the new Act relating to the recovery of penalties, and he submitted that punishment of any description might reasonably be inferred to come within the term " penalty. Mr. HUDDLESTONE also addressed their Lordships. He said, the point was one of very great importance; because, if the Court should give a decision adverse to the prosecution, the effect of it would be to give complete impunity for every offence of the same cha racter that was committed prior to the 11th of October, when the new Act came into operation. The Learned Counsel concluded by suggesting that the point might be reserved for consideration by the Court of Criminal Appeal. Mr. JAMES made a brief reply. He said they had no right to enter into any discussion as to the objects or intentions of the Legislature ; and the only ques tion was, as it appeared to him, whether in the hurry With which legislation was sometimes carried on, there had not been an omission which created the present difficulty. With regard to the suggestion that the point should be argued before the Court of Appeal, he was sure their Lordships would not put the defendant to the expense and inconvenience that would ba entailed upon him by such a course if, as he entertained a confident opinion was the case, their Lordships should think that the indictment was not legally sustainable. The Learned Judges having conferred together, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE delivered the ju igmmt of the Court. lie saLl that this was no doubt an import ant case wi h regard t ) its c msequences. but at the same time, when the Judges sitting in that Court saw no reason for delaying their decision, and the point ap peared perfectly &ear to them, he did nut think they ought to reserve it for the Court of Appeal. There was no doubt in his own mind, nor, he believed, in that of his learned brother, that this indictment could not be sustained. It was clear that if it could be sustained at all, it must be upon the sth and 6th Victoria, because the alleged offence was committed before the passing of the 12th and 13th Victoria, and in the latter Act ther e was no retrospective clause. Toe question that then arose was whether the Act of the sth and 6th was repealed. By the Act of the 12th and 13th Victoria, every one of the previous Bankruptcy Acts was repealed, and among them the sth and 6th, with the exception of certain portions, which were mentioned in the schedule. He then looked at the schedule, and it was perfectly clear that none of the matters there referred to could by possi bility apply to the present eve. It was said that there was a saving clause, by reason of the recovery of penalties being reserved; but it appeared to him that the term " penalty" could not be con strued to apply to such an indictment as this, or to the consequences that attached to it. It was possible that the difficulty had arisen accidentally from the penning of the new Act of Parliament, but with that they had nothing to do. It was the duty of the Court to take care that no criminal offence was created, and that no person should be punished for such an offence ' unless under the clearly expressed sanction of the Legislature ; and the Court, therefore, upon these grounds, were of opinion that the present indictment could not be sustained. Mr. Baron RoLr said, that after the observations of Mr. Justice Coleridge it was hardly necessary for him to add any remarks, but on a point of so much importance he thought it right to say that he quite concurred with him in the decision he had given. The statute in question was distinctly declared to be repealed, and none of the exceptions applied to the present case. It was no doubt, an omission on the part of the Legislature, but with that the Court had nothing whatever to do. When the Act, known as Sir Robert Peel's Act, was brought for ward, and which repealed a vast number of other Acts of Parliament, care was taken to avoid this difficulty, for there it was expressly enacted, that, although certain Acts of Parliament were repealed, yet that any offence committed before the new Act came into operation should be punished as heretofore, and this obvieted every difficulty, as but for this enactment there would have been com plete impunity, as in the present instance, for all offences that were ccnamitted between the period of the repeal of the former Acts and the coming into operation of, the new.one. A similar difficulty to the present arose when the B tnkruptcy Act of the 6th Geo. IV. was passed, as the very same mistake was made, and the Judges at that period came to the same decision the Court .had to day. It was unne cessary for him to . go again over the grounds that had been mentioned by Mr. Justice Coleridge in coming to that decision, and he would merely repeat that he entirely concurred in , it. The jury then, under his Lordship's direction, re turned a verdict of. Not Guilty. Mr. KaNIALET said he appeared on behalf of a defendant named Lake, who was charged with an offence under the same Act of Parliament. The case had been postponed to the next session, but, after the decision their Lordships had come to, he trusted they would at once dispose , of it, and not permit the de fendant to remain in custody. Mr. CLARK.SON said he appeared for the prosecutor, and his attorney ,was not present; but still, a ft er t h e opinion that had been expressed by their Lord ships, he did not think he ought to oppose the ap plication. _ _ _ - Baron RoLFE said.he thought this was the proper course. If the indictment was preferred under the same Act of Parliament it was quite clear that it could not be sustained. The defendant, William Lake, was accordingly placed at the bar, and no evidence being offered against him, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This dosed the business of the session, and the Court adjourned to Monday, Jan. 7. NEW COURT.
