FRIDAY, - JULY 21, 1820.. PARLIAMENT, HOUSE, OF LORDS, Jur..Y,2o. ht YAL Dtv ,, “cp - , BILL. The Earl ofLVITEn - io'bitn — oved," That a Com mittee be appointed to search for precedents .re lating thereto, andjoconsider of the-;-mot effec tual means of enforcing the .attendance of Mem bers of that Mouse ;". Nv - hich was ordered accord ingly. On the motion of the Noble Minister, several Peers specially named, were ordered. to cora-, pdse the said. C-, - ;m:nittee, ainong whom Archbishop of y The of Li, eriltiol The'Earl cif Shatie , bl ,l Viscou-nt The 1,..rd Chaim:llot- Lord C a itjwi.pe Lord Holland. Among the Bills upon the table *which were se v,,ralty forwarded, the Alien Bill, the Bank Notes Bill, the Irish Pisteries, tile Turnpike Returns, and the Lunatic Asylum -Bills, ivere read the third time and passed. quarter, and then the merits of the question would be sent for decision before a competent and regular tribunal, who could determine whe ther the return was according to the law . of the. land or not. They Well knew that, according to the custom of Parliament, thoSe and other 14W Officers were deemed competent, and sat Auring an interval of more than 200 years. Ile wOuld ask, therefore, on what principle of jUstice.eould they "think of applying' what would operate , as a retrospective law in the present case"?' In caSc: , of State necessity or expediency, a retrospective law may be highly justifiable ;I but nothing of the kind Warranted - a departure frdar the ordinary course in the case #efore thorn: It: was known that. Masters in Chancery frequent4y`gat in Par liament, and no one ever thought-it to. lie r,con sisteit with the discl)arging their "legal duties.— In the particular case other ,difilculties stood- in the way .of such an enactment fairly takingp!Eic.a. individual to Whorra it referred had pur chased the office ;, he meant not illegally', as it . was the established practice at-the time.; but it - was, an additional objection to depriving him of the advantage he possessed by an ex post facto enactment, and for which a considerable sum had been given. . The Earl of LI3jERICK, in explanation, ob served, that the case was very different with re-' spect to the.. English Masters in Chancery, who were on the very spot. , The Earl Of ENNISKILLEN adverted to the Gentleman in question being particularly aimed at. as.he was mentioned by - name in the Act. The Earl of LAUDERDALE- argued decidedly in favour of the clause. The Earl of LimEtticK and Lord HOLLAND respectively spoke in explanation. . • The LORD CHANCELLOR , argued . -ably against the clause. With respect io lifas ers in Chancery sitting in Parliament, there Were' very many in stances where they had , discharged both their le gislative and judicial functions with ability and honour. .to themselves. On the ground these Officers were objected to, the Attorliey 'and So licitor-General, and - Na.rious other, may .be equally affeeted; antrit . w.as net,a liitfn extraor dinary they had never . 11'esni'd of "these - objections until this lri'sh El.ention canie upon the tbi•pet. Officers in the ArMy and Navy, may be‘objected to, on „grounds not dissimilar 1- but it was Well knOwn that the,.e,',.pallllil4ly . :the latter, had frequently represented:sOine. _of:the-greatest and most populous- placesiir the kingdom. of that kind of'seloOdti bOttet. - left with the Electors thoinselves. . Louk,KLicyoN was strongly impressed with the propriety of rejeCting-, the clause, which he seemed to say, Was of that nature which he thought,the House could not agree to ; and he felt it his duty to take the sense of their Lord ships upon it. The strangers were then ex.eluded, and some short' far Cher discussion took' place. On the re sult, it-was understood, the- division . upon the Clause itself was thus : ' Contents. Not-contents - • ' Majority against the Clause. ;--I2 The- Bill being :gone. through, the' House re sumed, and ordered 'the - Report to be received to-morrow. • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. ' Lord AUCKLAND presented a Petition, nume rously signe t d, from Liverpool in favour of this Bill. The Noble Lord, in moving the re-commit ment of the Bill, said, he should not by any pre liminary discussions anticipate any argument or objection .with respect, to the . measure. Their Lordships then forthwith resolved into a Com mittee on the Bill.. LorditEnEsnALE, at the commencement of the discussion, enteredsupon the clause going to sup port. three Commissioners instead of one, as fixed by the former Acts .to conduct the business of the Court. ..11e thought the increased number was-unnecessary. -The system had been in force seven years, and one Commissioner was found adequate to its judicial administration. Since the appointment of the-late Commissioner, much', or rather the whoL of the clamodr or disappro- Vation that long prevailed had subsided, and he htd received numerous coMmunications, expres sil'e of the warmest approbation of the writers of the way in which the business of the Court had been latterly conducted. The Noble and Learn ed Lord concluded by moving an amendment to the relevant clause, enacting .that one fit and proper . person should be appointed instead of three, as proposed by the Bill. Lord AUCKLAND defended the clause as origi nally proposed. The increased number he thought was called for by the very increased bit- siness of the Court i , and farther, as a pro-vision I, against the accident of one being confined 'by ness, or prevented from attending to the business from other causes. in the result, division was called for on this clause, and the strangers were excluding from the House, when one or two of their LOrdships said, a Agreed, agreed," and the strangers re turned. It was understoOd, the Noble and Learned Lord declined presiinL; his amendment. Lord AUCKLAND said, that he should not pro pose any 'clause relative to thoe per:ons who were confined by order of the Court of Chancery, as he found that the Noble Lord on the Wool sack bad ,taken that._ part of the subject in his own hands. - After some desultory ,convorsation,:the Bili went through the Committee, the House'resunii ed, and the Report was 'ordered to he received to-morrow.("jou ined.

In the' present state of the'public mind we would willingly refrain from all obseivations on, the subject of the Queen : we would act as others talk:- and feeling the propriety, of abstaining from all that can inflame 01• prejudg6 . , we•would.espe cially avoid ;the conduct of those pretended friends,,, but inyeality worst,enemie; of her Ma jesty, 'who, while they` loudly claim for her all the benefits of a fair,trial; and an iiyirrr. hear-' lug, are labouring to inip,, , tle the course of jus tice, to preclude the possibility of that unLialsed decision to which a tranqu:lai,d deliberate 'in`, quiry alone s can lead,, and to renew thOse scenes of - popular conimotion which we have so lately witnessed. :" It is. asserted to be a principle of English Law, that every accused 'perSon is:to be. dechied innocent until preyed to be guiltY.

Or;that every Fitness by whom . that charge is to be proved, is to be considered as ,vile and ,cor rupt, and to be exposed to 'popular , indignation and popular outrage Is not justiceVen handed, or are those only who may appear at the bar of a -public tribunal as criminals henceforth' to be, viewed with favour by. the country.?

Their Lordships resolved. into a Committee oh. this Bill. - - Lord• RE . nESDILE entered .upon a discussion of the general merits of the measure. The principle he athnitted to be.good, as- some regulation was evideutly necessary ; but several of the proposed enactments iti•the Bill as it-then stood, would g re quire much consideration and amendment. therefore proposed several, of .which some, after some discussion in the Committee, principally be tween the Noble and Learned Ltird:and• the Earl of Limerick, were agreed to ; and the decision upon others Was deferred to a future stage of the Bill. On the Clause Which went to incapacitate Masters in the Irish Court of- Chancery from sit ling as MeMbers in the. other House of Parlia 7 men-, after The Ist day of August next, the dis cussion principally took place. It was strongly and vitcrally objected- to by Lord Redesdale in the tn-st instance,, who, declared his intention to propose an inlportabtamendment thereto. The'Earl of LIMERICK expressed his regret at feeling ' obbged to differ from his Noble and Learned Friend, but in this case he differed widely from him,- and -he could not conceive why a clause, which Was agreed to'after much dis cu.ssioaPlsewhere, was to be now abandoned. To him it clearly appeared, that the Gentleman who Iv - as - likely too-be more 'immediately • affect= ed - by the , clause had disqualified . , himself from sittieg in the Imperial Farliament, inasmuch-as he had declared upon oath that he had, as a Master in the Irish Chancery, distinct, numerous, - and important duties-to*attend t 0..: • He would not now trouble their Lordships with a detail upon the point, but the 'examination of the Learned Gentlemo.n In queStion occupied 'a full folio page. He had stated distinctly that his official duties ,oecupicd, him -several hours in the day for ten months out of twelVe. If that Gentleman Was so very desirous of distinguishing- himself in Par- liament,-he had nothing to dO butto abandon this drudgery of an Irish' Master in Chaneery. But while he 'held it, he could not off, necessity exe cute both duties properly. He was rather op posed to the 'principle of law officers also dis charging 'political duties. The latter . unedium had, in Ireland, before the Union; been too much the road to' high legal preferments. ,Since the Union the pra.Ctiee was different, and much to the credit of successive administrations. With such senti ments Ile mast feel it his duty to Oppose the clause. The F lOf ENNISKILLEN thought such a pro vision' would operate not only hardly but unjustly -with regard to the most respectable Gentleman who had been just returned by a large majority of the Electors - of the loyal city of Dublin. In his case it would operate as an ex cyst facto law. With respect to the Noble. Earl who so pointedly supported, this Measure, and felt so much for the vast population of Ireland, he was sorry they had not amore of thailNoble Earl's company in .that part of the United Kingdom. Lord ITO . LLAND strongly supported the clause., He was surprised to hear it opposed, as . the rea sons in:favour•of the measure were so striking and- nurnerOus,..that he hardly knew which to be . - 4in,with ; however, it was in fact only enforcing - , the actnal law, though tint the custom : of Parlia- Ment, which said, among other - dicta, that Masters in Chancery shOuld not sit in the House of •Corn, mots. Antlther adverse reason was, that Masters in Chancery were the' servants of that (their Loult‘hips') House: , • • The Earl Of ENNisrctr.i.E's (across the table) observed, Masters in ChanCery do 'sit in, Parlia ment here.- Lord• HOLLAND continued.-----By the copszlettae, hut not the /ex . Partidwßfi, they did ; but lif the latter were in force, they could not sit in ParHa mr,:tt. thoUght he had assigned at least five • go3d, reasons, as - numerous as the fingers' on his hand, in suppOrt of the clause: The .Noble Lord had spoken with his usual good humour of the clause Orerating as an ex post facto law,but that he conceived as rather an extraordinary objec tionfrom the Voble Earl's side of the - Ifouse, when it was recollected : how numerous were -the cxpost. facto legislative enactments. in subjects, of. far greater importance' that proceeded from the same quarter ; against the clause,in ques tion, he repeated he could not see how any satis 'factory objection could be .adduced. The Earl of LlvEurpor, observed, the clues .tion for consideration was, whether the clause before them, if not materially 'amended, could be enacted with justice to the party. If the re turn were deemed queStionable or hnproper, a petition could be easily prenntea in the proper
