Lord Eisiiii•ir-L--My Lords, I havejust receiv ed from Dr. Lushingeon, Wh'co 'has leave from the House of C ommons to appear 'at' the bar of this House as one' of the eonnsel 'for''the 'QUeen, a Petition'frorn 'herl‘fajesty; which I have beenre quested to present,' and which I do most willing ly, .be'caii§e it contains 'a most just and reasonable request. I will read it to 'your Lordships myself before I ask you to 'accept it. 44 The ' , Queen la:Ments, my Lords, that this House has deemed it proper to refuse her application for .a list of witnesses to be examined' in support of the Bill of degradation' and dissolution of marriage;" thus leaving her. Majesty Wand her legal advisers in total ignorance of the times and places to which the charges may related or 'the persons by whose testimony the allegations on the Bill are intended to be supported.'? This is only preface, she does not call upuu your. Lordships to reconsider .this decision, but contents herself with Jamenting it, and f..,--omes with a new. request. This is just,my own situation—l exercised my privilege as a Peer, and did, , as I thought and still think, a duty to my. country, by asking your Lordships' a few days.ago to give the list of witnesses as re • quested, but your Lordships having refused it, I must not now put my individual opinion against the i t idgment of the Jlliitise, but I have a right to . express that I . mosi deeply lament it. Her Ma.- sty then goes on to ask a specific a ti on o f th e , places, in . 2viliieli , the Criminal acts are charged to have'been comMittea7 lie forthwith' delivered ; This last part of the Petition I hope you will only not grarit,.by yielding to the request of your ownfree grace. My Lords, if you refuse it, be lieve rile, the House will suffer indelibly in its character and honour, which has stood so high for ages, and enabled it to support in public opi nion all the other Tribunals of Justice. As her Majesty asks only a specification of the:plaCes to Which the 'evidencels to apply against her, we have no concern now with the indidgences of the Statute of Treason, "'nothing more beiner asked than the universal analogies. of law. No crime whatsoever can be. charged without specifying the Place 'where committed, and - the acts charged are almost universally facts of so limited and so notorious a character, that the accused has an im mediate and 'satisfactory acquaintance with the evidence that is to be produced; but the allega tions of the Bill before us 'are spread over the space of 'six years, in Places remotely distant froth eaCkother, So that without the Specification of the :places, it 'is utterly impoisible that any kind of defence can be made._ The only answer that has been given-to-this objection is, - that the accusing testimony has been heard, the House would' consent tO a long adjournment, till the witnesses for her Majeity should be-Collected ; but I reminded 'your Lordships, "when I' moved for the list' of 'the wittiesses, Aliat'this 'would be only an insulting mockery ofjuStice. What, my. birds, do you 'mean" by accusing evidence, when no elite is farniShed for' their examinations by the accused ? 'low can'she impeach their testimony ivhen . she 'is an titter stranger to. their very ex istence,; she 'sees and.. hears. them - in' the House ? and thits uniriipeaChecl testimony,: how eVer utterly.unfounded,zgoes forth from one end.' of the, hand to : the -other, affeets theminds'of the people - , .and comes back again upon your Lord ships yOurselves to' affect your own judgment's be 7 fore:you 'enter upon the :defence. What right,. my Lords, have you to consider yourselves as su perkr to the infirmities:Of human nature, • which 'are the foinidatio . ns of 'all the wise - and humane provisions of our law ? Are you horiesterkerbet ter than Juries,' who are not suffered to commu nicate e'ven• With; their own families until- .their verdict is delivered? Are you alone to be trust ed; and 'to. go forth into the very Court or the - King, who. is, the injured and properly- accusing party in the cause ? I do -not seek to .reconcile differences. between the - House 'of Lords ,And the oth'e.r Tribunals,' where the anomaly of.- , your ju risdiction can be averted ; but you had only. to listen to'the. Petitions presented to you, : and,the anomaly would have been ended. had the,Queen been granted. the Est- Of the witnesses' formerly . asked i and the places of- supposed guilt; as: now, requested,- the case - might have: proceeded like any other trial, but by' refusing both, , your-pro- Ceeding is 'like none that -ever 'existed.upen earth. My: Lords, I have no leaning: or bias' bathe case before- except that. which 'has been the uniform bias of a long life spent in the administration of justice , and which will ,nevercease, I hope, till death.. I citnnot , be inistaken , in .the principles. of law, and their artalogieS , are too manifest to •be mistaken ; I therefore' move that the 'Petition be - received. ~ The LORD CHANCELLOR said, there could-be no question. of course, as to receiving the petition ; but he had heard 'with considerable surprise some part of 'what had been urged :by, his Noblee - and Learned Friend. Would his Noble and -Learn ed Friend, 'lifter his long, and he' (Lord Eldon) 'must • add, his ilhistrious.professional life - , point 'out any instance in 'which what WAS' now sought by this Petition had been granted namely, a ipecification of the different' placeS at'which the o ffences charged were alleged' to be committed? SO "far from any Specification of places: or times being given, the fact ‘VaS . , that in indictm'ents for high treason a yiace was merely- named' as a' venue to give the Court jurisdiction ; 'and then, on the part of the prosecution) proof Was allowed as to acts of the 'accused in any place not only in the same connty, but in any other county. • In cases of adultery also, no specification of times or pla • ces was ever given, but - proof Ivas' allowed' of any act of adultery wherever' conimieted. - Equally unsuceessftil must his Noble and Learn ed Friend be in draWing ally - analogy from the' proceedings in Parliament, for in no case Was there to be foUnd any precedent of a ap-: plication having - been 'cornplie - d 'with.' - Without any'authority; therefore, derived frorn the ana logies of law ; or any sanction from - the usages of ;Parliament; which, in fact; formed:tik. Parliament, he could:' discover no-ground-upon 'which this application ought-tOhe , granted i lie. : wished it' to-be distinctly-understood; that; with.. regard. to this case, he Was - only anxious:o,de his, ,duty in the situation -. in: which:he was,.placed,, and a material part of that duty was to point out to- their Lordships- in What:respect any metionjo which their attention was: oailed- was Colltrar-Y•to the usage and. practice of. Parliament. - LordHar.r.A.ND—Without„ my - , 'Lord : olJ going, into the question of" the analogies of law, upon which subject the. Noble and: Learned Lord is much better informed than. myself, I may be allowed to call your Lordships' , atten- , tion to the precedents in your Parliamentary prac, tire, in all of which, since the Revolution, I be, lieve it will-be.found that a mare enlarged speci.- fication of- charges was given in the . preambls than in the. Bill now before the House. This will be ,found to be the case in the Bills of Pains, ands Penalties against Bishops Atterbury, Plunket t and Kelly, in all of which the skecification more distinct and mare at length than in the. p . re.-. sent Bill. I take it for granted that the Noble' and Learned Lord- meant to confine his preci dents to Bills ofAttainder and Bills of Pains and Penalties, otherwise with regard to proceedings by, impeachment, there can: be no doubt that a, much more enlarged specification of charges - has been given in them than there is in the present Bill, and I have no hesitation 14 givipg it as my opinion, that an impeachment confined to the mere limit of charge contained in the present Bill would not be considered in this House as suffi cient to call upon the defendant to answer. But ,without going any further into analogies, I con tend, that upon every principle of impartial jus tice the request contained in this Petition ought to be complied with. It is'true that some chili culty may arise with regard to it, the Secret Com mittee to whom the sealed bag of papers were ,re; ferred being now fiinctus officio, and no longer in existence. And upon this point it becomes a cu rious question in what way, or froth' what quar ter, the Attorney-General, or his Representa tives a re - bp be instructed with regard to the case for the ~prosecution, or - how they are to become acquainted with the contents of the Green . Bag. As,:howeyer, a, list of, the witnesses has been re. fused to the . Queen, your Lordships surely cannot refuse, to. grant her the smaller facility of a spe. Cification of the :places where the acts of crirni nality.are. alleged 'to have been committed ; it • seerpsto me that such a proceeding is' called fOr by impartial justice, the only principle to which we ought to look in this anomalous case. The'P d arl of LIVERPOOL-I am utigh - TeTiny Lords,-to discover any reason or analogy appli cable to this proceeding, which can authorize the.complying with:the application contained in theTetition. I perfectly'agree with the:Noble Lord that we ought only to. look to , impartial justice.; but let .us consider bow : the case stands. The Secret Committee having' made their Re as•fiMember, of the Executive 'Govern ment, brought in the Bill which is. now before the,House.. .YOur Lordships must recollect that no sooner had the Billbeen brought ins than her Majesty petitioned . that ,we- shciuld, pro,(:eed to hear'the ..case forthwith ; there was no applica tion for any list Of witnesses, .or. specification of places, but .we were called upon to hear the case forthwith. It is in compliance with this. request on the part: of her Majesty that yoOr Lordships have appointed the earliest , day for . that• hearin,,,cr thatis consistent with :the ends of justice;,for-if it is not absolutely necessary; - _it is at least highly properithat :the or some of them, should Attend during .the : hearing., of the ease. It is, therefore, obvious, that -her Najesti, by calling for animmecliate hearing, doLuot consider either a list of witnesses Or. a ,naKifiqatiOri of plates as at all esSeiiial' to her defence. • - ',lNsth regard bathe objection to the preamble of. the Bill, that it..cicies not contain _spe6itic' charges as to - time and place*, it should be, recollected; that it is not Conhned to any..specific act of• adultery,.but that it' charges an adulterousintercpurso, continually kept Up, for a oonsi.derable.period, .and which therefore can not; from its nature, be liMited to any particular time oriplace. It should also be recollected, arid particularly when analogies , of law, are.referred to, that the- Queen- in 'this ease- will have advan. tages which are not granted to' any individual iu Court'df law, in: the-. interval twhich.must. he. al. lowed, if her Majesty requires it, between the, close of the case for the accusation and the de., fence; there. being no - instance in Any Court of Law of- such an' interval , .being , grantestbetwen the' case for the prosecution; and the tlefence, nor is it at'all &insistent' with- the principles of justice.— The:Noble anti-Learned:Lord says, that sve*Lall separate - after hearingthe'Case.for .the accusation, find be• liable to imbibe prejudices in the interval - between .the close of. that _case, and the commence. nTent. of the case for the defence.:.
