Not only was Franklin said to be employed by them in• this line of industry, he was also received at their tables ; and if the Hon. Member's statement was to be believed, the same individual who one day dined with a Mini- • ster was to be seen the day before in a coach with a person who had scarcely clothes to cover him, going down to the Houses of Parliament to give' out hand-bills which could not fail, to provoke arrest. Though he (Lord C.) knew the Hon. .IVleinber to be, upon many occasions, the willing instrument of credulity, he did not think that he could be prevailed upon to stand up seriously in. his place and make such a charge as this. If he (Lord C.) conceived that there" was any indivi dual in the Government capable of fomenting such ,disorder, of being connected in any way with such. base proceedings, so far from acting with him, he would consign him to execration and contempt. It would be an injustice.to say that the matter did not merit the most serious consideration. The question now was, whether the. motion proposed by the IlOn. Member was the. best that could be adopted for the purpose, of bringing the individual to punish ment. A warrant was granted for his apprehension, and until it was executed that House had no bu- siness rto interfere. Such a report as_ this might be Circulated - against any man, and it would not be at all inconsistent with the policy of those'who were, called Radicals to circulate it, for the pur pose of screening themselves. They were ca pable. of engaging in so base a. conspiracy. It was not at all inconsistent with the practice of these degenerate times.. Allowing that there was 'sufficient ground for the charge brought against this individual, that he' was flagitious enough to take part in such a conspiracy—a fa shiOnable word at present—(Hear ! from the Opposition)-,.would it be wisdom on the part of the House to interfere itt-a Matter that was already the object of a judicial proCeeding ? Would they take upon themselves to dis cuss any charge under such ,circumstances ? It would be inconsistent with every principle of justice and common sense. On Whafground were they called upon. to go into this investigation? On the affidavit - of a person, which shewed that he was acquainted with it-since September, 1818. How. was the House of Commons to deal with the question ? Did the Him. Member suppose that any person who since 1818 knew that such nefarious proceedings were going on, and con cealed them all that time, would hesitate for his own purposeS to take a false oath ? As to the charge against Government of being connected with, his matter, it was so full of improbability, so grossly' absurd, that he would` not insult the understanding of the Houie by entering upon it. , A criminal proceeding was instituted against the Andividual:—(No ! from some person on the Op position benches.)7-4 warrant . had been issued for -his apprehension. " That surely' was not the moment for the House to intetrOPT it was but very lately that any thing . connected with this ,subject came to his (Lord C.'s)' knowledge, and he was not aware before that day that it was to occupy the attention . of Parliament. The first' intimation he had of the charge was'from the publiC Papers, and before he saw the name mentioned there he was unacquainted with the existence of such a person as Fletcher, Franklin, or Jones. This declaration he made on the part of all his colleagues, as well as of himself. Not one of them ever spoke to this_person, with whom. they were said to be on such friendly terms. This he hoped would be a sufficient .negative to the con• vivial part of the Hon. Gentleman's charge.—(A laugh.)—With respect to the conduct of the Magistrate, he could speak Only froin tht , ' , in formation communicated to him by the Noble Lord at. the Head of the 'Herne Department. He never, spoke to Sir Robert Baker, but, from what he could learn', no person was more capable of filling his situation. with 'propriety.' It should be remembered that Franklin was arrested on an affidavit sworn by Mr. Pearson, in which .he • stated, that from the description given'by the boy who circulated the bills, he believed Franklin to be the person who so employed him. The placards were however given by a man calling himself Fletcher. ,The individual was carried before Mr. Birnie.' He (Lord C.) had not seen Mr. Birnie to inquire into the Matter, but he heard that a Mr. Williams represented Franklin as being his . next doOr neighbour, and that he would undertake to haie him forthcoming. This not being agreed to,, he was. brought before Sir Robert Baker, at his own house in Bernard-street, oh a Sunday, and pertnitted, to depart on the Vesponsibility, of Mr. Williams. The Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hume) in his usual 'sanguine manner of visiting upon GOvernment, - and tracing to their connivance whatever was culpable in the con duct of Magistrates, marvelled how Sir Robert' Baker under such circumstances could allow him to depart. It should be remembered that thii occurred on Sunday evening at five, and it was not till Monday that the slightest intimation of the thing was received at the Home Office. lt• was communicated by Mr. Minshull, who came to knoW whether steps could be taken to stop this individual at the outports.. It was 'not, • therefore, Mr. Pears'on who suggested this first at the Home Ince. They 'had knowledge of it from the Magistrate, who was anxious to prevent any inconvenience that might arise. , The lion., Meinber, who was so severe in his observations on the conduct of the Noble Lord at the head of the Hotne Department, should - , recollect that it was a serious thing to order a man to be stopped at the outports.. TWenty • Mr. Franklins might be thus detained in consequence, of some simila; city hi the description of his person. The liberty of the subject was not to be thus trifled with :—(A laugh from some Me?nbers on the Opposi- Benches.)—He would put it to the candour of the Hon. Member (Mr. ffnme), and there . was no "per Son, who, when a matter Wits thus 'itilhatitted to"him, more ready to make every fair , concession, lie would put it to.his candour, if these 'placards were" proved to have been issued Tby..any of the apostles of liberty,"and that twenty, persons, lyere arrestect at' the,outports' on suspl:- 'don, it would not be seiztd upon as ground for a much more formidable motion than the present. He (Lord C.) had the affidaVit on which Frank lin was arrested. Neither that or the warrant contained a, word of treason or felony. There was no direct charge of the kind. The words were 'plied up in it, but the thing, as charged, was certainly a bailable offence. lie had thought it his duty to furnish Mr. Pearson with a letter to the Ambassador at Paris, requesting him to obtain all the weight and influence that Govern ment could contribute towards the apprehension of Franklin. He could ,assure,the lion. Mem ber, that no one could be more earnest that the individual might be speedily apprehended than his Majesty's Ministers. He . wished to be un derstood, 'that he altogether denied, in the corn pletest manner, and in the most decisive terms, to prevent the possibility of eqUivocation, and without any mental reservation,-that either his Majesty's Ministers, or any individuals, high ,or low, connected with his Majesty's Govern-. ment, had any participation with the transac tion.. lie would suggest to the Tionourable Member whether this - was the proper moment to bring the subject before the House ? Would it not be better to Wait a short thne, and see whether the person complained of was not ap prehended—and whether. he was not likely to be proceeded against in the due course of law ? But if the Hon. Member -should after that find, that no such inveStigation was likely to take place, then he might make a motion.with, more effect; and if these proceedings should. take place, the Honourable Member would have a full opportunity in the course of the evening to sa tisfy himself whether his Majesty's ,G overnmeut had in any ways participated in the business. At present. "the Hon. Member had not made out a case, and it appeared to be an unfounded attempt to put down the Qovernment. With this view of the subject, he should give. the motion of the Hon. Member a direct negative. The proper place iii which.a complaint should be preferred' against Sir R. Baker was in the Court of. Ring's Bench. Mr. G. BENNETT was surprized at the high tone with which the Noble Lord hael met the motion of his Hon. Friend. Instead of being anxious. to have an opportunity of acquitting themselves of grave charges made against Ministers, the Noble Lord would 'stop the inquiry iii. limine, and desire, that the 'investigation of this base con spiracy should - be left to the operation of the or, dinary Courts of Law. But the-Noble Lordtould not but be aware, that no proceedings could, be taken in a Court of. Law against a Magistrate in the circumstances in which Sir R. Baker-stood; If in the King's Bench a criminal information was moved for against him, it would, not be granted unless the prosecutors were able to show not only that his conduct Was improper, bfit also that his motives were corrupt.--(liear.)--He'would rather have Sir R. Baker to the Bar, and let him tell his own story there. In reverting to 'the speech of the Noble 'Lord; he would now take an-oppOrtu nity of saying, that there was one act done by him, to which he (Mr. B.) 'took the 'strongest excep tion. That to which he' alluded was his having furnished the messenger, not -only with a pass port, but also ith letter's of CredenCe to the Ali niSteri abroad, in order - to interest other Go vernments in the apprehension of this individual, and that too not upon a charge of high .treason, but .of one'Uf simple misdemeanour.—(llear !)- -No-MagiStrate but the one -who had granted the 'warrant ought to have discharged - the prioper. He asserted that, looking at the case altogether, there appeared to him to be aprima faciq case of corruption made.,out against ,the. Government. looked with more distrust upon the: ' Home Office than any. .of. the: other 'Palle' offices, for it did uotNme into Court with Clean hands—it was an unclean office. —(A laugh.). It was.not .improbable, that Government would: have recourse to . sucth.means, for they knew lioW it, would rally round them the timorous. 'Not.... withstanding the sneers Of ,the Noble Lord, he thought Ministers ought to thank the. House for:: . the inquiry, .if they were innoCeirt. It Was, , however, no Way to show their innocence, by shunning_ investigatibn.— (Hear 0 7 —The lion. Member concluded' by hoping,. his Hon. Friend -, would press his question, assured as, he was that; . the best way to remove the evil; vas to probe it to the bottom, and measure its extent. ••. iwr': CLIvE defended the conduct of the Herne Office. 'The appliCationsthal had been made for stopping Franklin by sending orders to the' ports or to Ministers abroad, he' conceived to be con-. trary to the rules of the Office, and had been ob- - liged to refuse, as the alleged offence had • only been 'a misdemeanour.. He had never before heard of the name 'of Franklin, though he had heard of that Of 'O'Bryen. Mr.' IL'GuaNEY thought the letter given to Mr. Pearson, for our Ambassador at Paris, an extraordinary proceeding. Should the different Courts play in that way into each other's hands, in the present state of Europe, it would be. a great opening to tyranny. lie should vote, for the motion. . Lord CArrr,rar.Acu stated, - that any applica tion to . Foreign Powers must arise horn' particu- . lar Treaties that had received the sauctimr of the House. 'The Alien Act had no application to hie present proceedings. Mr. Ginn could not vote for the motion. The walls of the metropolis were . covered with the mast infamous placards, and it was the duty. of the Home Department to cause them to be takendown . • Mc. BERNALL thought a satisfactory' inquiry should be made into the whole proceedings ; and was surprised, that no reward had been offered by Government,; while, in the cam of the Glas gow. band-bill, a reward of 5001. had been of &red. _The Court of King's Bench could not inquire . into the conduct of Ministers. Should the motion be rejected, a Sulect Committee ought to be' appointed. Sir J. SEBRI6IIT saw no good from calling Sir R; Baker to the Bar . ; and thought, that to•war.- rant such a procedure., a much stronger 'case should be mode out, lie latideuted the uripopd larity ofGovernment; but in the pre§efit state of the public Mind, it would with difficulty he satisfied With any Government: He must oppose the Motion. Mr. TicitNEY thought that the. Noble Lord had treated the motion with a levity that was not right. Out of ,d oors the re was a s t ron g feeling against tho Home Department; and .a belief that agents were employed by Government to pro- , inotomn a cplosion. It Was therefore the duty of Ministers to meet such a charge as the present with the solemnity due to its importance. fc Mt. 13Ec'ETT corroborated the 'statement or Mr. Clive. He knew no instance of. Government interfering in such i.caSe as this was. When the ends of juStice .Were likely to be defeated, it came forward .with the King's pardon and a re ward ;' but here they were called to act instan ter, and the Secretary answered, ". Let me first see if the ordinary modes fail before we interfere." The Honourable Gentleman. spoke in the highest terms of Sir R. Baker, whom he had kmisin or 15 years, and held to be utterlyincapable of doing any action from a corrupt motive. He op-i posed the motion, as prejudging the case of the Magistrates, and injuring them, before they ap peared at the bar of the, proper legal tribunal. Mr. BROUGHAM expressed . a wish that the mo tion should be withdrawn till they saw if the ordinary means of proceeding to obtain redress were tried and failed. Not that he denied to the House the power of. instituting. this inquiry, but he thought it a function which ought only - ,to be exercised when no other means remained but that of an inquiry conducted by the Grand In quest of the nation. . Mr."CALvERT wished the motion to be with drawn. lie had' long known Sir R. Baker,and knew him to be as incapable of 'falsehood as any Gentleman in or out of that House.----(llear Sir ItonmtVlVlLsoN inquired if 'Franklin was taken, whether Government would prosecute him or not ? Lord CASTLEREAGH answered that was not in his depaiten'ent; but he.hacl - no doubt his Noble Friend would do every thing in his power to bring him to justice. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his dissent from the opinions of Sir John Sebright as to the popular feeling in this nitry.. he people had displayed the utmost patience and forbearance under privations of every sort. Lord CASTLEREAGH in \ited Mr. Hume to com municate with the Hoine Office: "Mr. IlurrE shortly replied,. ,atidfinally with drew,his motion, first asi•eiting that:Sir R.
