The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from Brodie, who had' been engaged in preparing the j o urriais o f the House, praying for remuneration. Mr. EItoGDEN and others from the. Commons brought up the Excise Duties Bill, the Judges' Salaries AugMentation Bill, and several other Bills. Lord NACRE brought up the report of the Committee On the Equitable Loan Bill. COURT OF CH kNCERY: . Earl GROSVENOR presented a petition from a- Mr. Gun nell (its we understood), complaining that Itched heeli kept out of an annuity bequeathed to him by the Duke of Queensberry, and had received no interest upon it. /It understood that a commission had been appointed to investigate the delays of the Court . of Chancery, and he hoped its report woe:TOO eatis faction. He should not enter into the question whether thtise delays went occasioned by the system of the CoUrt, or by the conduct of the persons connected with it. The subject, how ever, was one well worth the attention of Parliament. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to say a word or two with reference to the subject of that petition. The late DUke of Queensberry had left very great property, but in a very Con fused and embarrassed state; and before annuities could be it was necessary to see that there was a principal to peiY, them. With regard to the complaint of no interest ha`ving been paid, that was the consequence of a rule of law. Actions had been brought in the Court of Session, in' Scotland, respecting the property of the late Duke of Queensberry ; and after that Court had decided, appeals were brought to that House, and it was not until after judgment had been given on those appeals that the Court of Chancery could come to any determination respecting the annuities. With respect to this question of the annuities, he must, however, be allowed to say, that more had been done in hastening a decision than any Court of Chancery had ever before ventured to do; but as to the payment of in terest, that was out of the power of the Court, and the law must be altered before any suitor could obtain such an object. He must also observe, that the ablest man who ever sat in that Court had never been able to find his way to 'an alteration of the law respecting annuities. lie had only to add, that if one cause for a century past could More than another be referred to, this Queensberry cause Was the one in which the conduct of the Court had been the most praise Worthy. Earl GROSVENOR thought it remarkable enough that this case, which the Noble and Learned Lord regarded as the most favourable for the Court of Chancery, had been standing for ten years without a decision. He thought it very hard that persons kept out of their many for that time should receive no interest. Lord RE DESDA LE observed, the Noble Lord was wrong if he expected any thing to he done relative to the subject of this petition from the Commission which had been appointed, for that Commission could not alter the law. As to the delay, how could the Noble Lord say that there was any blame in the Court delaying to pay bequests when the testator's property Was in a state of embarrassment. lie would assert, that whatever delay took place, was owing more to the Solicitors who practised in the Court than any thing else, and yet they were the greatest clamourers. This, he thought it right to say, in justice to the Noble and Learned Lord ; and that the fact was as he had stated, was clearly made out to his mind by the evidence before the Commission, of which he was a Member. Earl GROSVENOR did not mean to say that the Commis sioners could alter the law; but they were bound to investigate the whole practice of the Court, and to lay their opinion on this as well as on other points before Parliament. Lord REDESDALE again repeated, that the Noble Lord was quite wrong if he supposed that the Commission could have any thing to do with the allowing or disallowing interest.— That was a point settled by law, and could only be altered by an Act of Parliament, to obtain which the Noble Lord might, if he thought tit, introduce a Bill. Earl GROSVENOR had heard that the persons who had undertaken the investigation of the practice of the Court of Chancery were not precisely those who ought to have been ap pointed for that task. He could wish that the Commission were more efficient. The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that if the rule of Court had been altered, and interest paid on the annuities, the claimants would now only have to coin slain of receiving so much less of the principal. The Cast' Wald not be otherwise in the embarrassed state of the property. The LORD CHANCELLOR declared, that he thought it but very natural that a person who had been left an annuity should wish to receive interest for the time that payment had been withheld, but that was a question which the law had settled otherwise. The Noble and Learned Nord then repeated what he had betbre said respecting the embar rassed state of the Queensterry property, and the necessity under whitsk the Court of Chancery was to delay deciding on the annuities until the law proueedings in Scotland were over, and judgment had been given on the appeals made to that House. He again observed that the Court had done more for the suitors in this particular case than in any other within his recollection. He must take the liberty of saying, that there had been much clamour and calumny on the subject of proceedings in Chancery—not by persons who meant ill, but by persons who did not well consider the consequences of what they talked about. If any of their Lordships thought the rule of law with respect to the non-payment of interest wrong, they might propose to alter it ; but his answer to any proposition of that kind would be, that he thought the rule right. It was impossible to know whether a person was entitled to interest or not when it was not ascertained whether he could be paid the principal. Much had been said about common law and common law lawyers, but if there was any lawyer who would say that this country could go on without a Court of the nature of the Court of, Chancery, he would say ,that their Lordships might us well expect to send him to the Old Bailey, and put him to death. • The Noble Earl who had presented the petition ought at least to do him some justice, for in two instances in which that Noble Earl had been brought into Chancery, he had sent him out of Court again as quickly as possible.—The petition was laid on the table. The Marquis of HASTINGS referred to the prints which he expected to have been laid on the table ; but as they were not ready, he would not move the second reading of his Bill until they were before their Lordships.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MR. REVRICK. An officer from the Court of King's Bench brought up a copy of the affidavit of John Drakard, containing a letter of Mr. Kenrick, in pursuance of an Order of the House. COMPLAINT OP MISREPRESENTATION. Mr. BANKES, jun., said that he had seen some observa tions upon his conduct in the Committee upon the Hull Ducks Bill in the Morning Herald newspaper, which were entirely false and calumnious When he first saw them, he intended to have moved that the printer be called to the bar ; but not wishing to create any vindictive feeling, he merely wished to say, that each of the three accusations con tained in the paper was grosily false. It was first said, that he had never attended the Committee before, which was grossly false; secondly, that he never heard a word of the evidence, which was also false ; and thirdly, that he had come down to the Committee with the sweepings of another Committee, and led the decision, which was the third falsehood. He did not go down to the Committee so attended, nor did he know when he entered that he should ' have even foUnd a seconder. He had acted in obedience to instructions from his constituents, and if an opportunity were allowed •him, he should be prepared to justify the course he had taken'apon principle. A Message from the Lords was brought by two of the judges, announcing their Lordships' assent to Duchess of Kent and the Duke of Cumberland's Annuity Bill. BERKS AND HANTS JUNCTION CANAL. Mr. CHAS. MINIMS brought up the report of the Com• mittee on the lierks and Hants Junction Canal Bill, which stated that it was inexpedient.to go further into the considera tion of the Bill Jurist the present Session. Mr. JONES remonstrated upon the delay of this Bill, and complained of some of the votes which had been given in fa vour of the retain. Ile hoped that the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle (Mr. Bankes) was not influenced in the rote he last gave in the Committee by hearsay only. Mr. BANKES insisted that_ he had been often in attendance on the Cerninittee when the Hon. Menibe, who spoke last was, not. and had seen enough to convinde hint that they could not go further into the merits of . the Bill during the present Ses sions. His' 6 - yin objection to the Bill was, that the landed in ter'st through whose land this Canal was to be cut were to 'a man against it. Mr. MONCK. principally attributed the delay to the course • • • •. taken by, the promoters of the Bill. The 4ecisicin watt, hew. ever, not upon the merits,.but upo'n the impos.siklity ing to a conclusion in the present Sessioh..' • • •-• Mr. IVAllERLY.cencurred in the propriety bf. thelEpOrt, which was n ,, t upon the merits, but upon time. ••••• Mr. LSTCOURT said a few words respecting Abgi part which he had taken in the Committee. Mr. C. 1)(3 ND t S said, that from the ratement to him, it appeared so far from. the landholders beineagiinet the measure, the majority was in favour of it. gr. CA,LeitA FT Was credibly . informed that the interests of 11 out of 12 miles of the canal were against it. • - Mr. C. DUNDAS denied that evidence to that eff-ect bad been given before the Committee. Mr. CA LCRAFT said that that *as besause the merits were not follly,gune into. Mr. BANKES said, that when the Committee went furtgar into the case, they would see how that stood. Sir C. iII:SE believed that the oppositian to the Bill - wax not so general its some • lionourable Gentlemen seemed to think. The SPEAKER wished to address the House in explana tion of two points, which, though introduced into the considera tion of the present Bill, equally applied to every other - Mil of the sante nature. It was supposed by some Gentlemen that the law of Parliament disqualified Members front voting upon Private Bills in which they had a direct interest. - lie wish ed to state that it was not the law, but the usage of -Pots-. Merit, which painted out that disqualification. The role, however, was-- , at least Its he found it, and .he examined with accuracy—that only parties were . disqualified who bad an interest in favour of a particular measure.; those were not who had an adverse interest. Now he submitted to thelllgose whether. in considering this subject of Private Bills, such a distinction ought to be sirawn.—(llear, hear.!)—The second point was as to the admissibility of witnesses to bills respecting which they had been also petitioners. He thought it very dit ficult to say how far a subscribing. petitioner ought to be dis qualified.as a witness. if.. knew the supposed analogy on which the disqualification was founded, .but he also knew how easily, by force, or fraud, or trick, a man might-be entrapped into the situation of a petitioner, tar the -very purpose of creat ing his incompetency to be a witness, although he might be in a situation to give the beSt evidence upon the business. The better way Would, he thought, be to receive the evidence of a party so situated, subject, of course, to his degree of credibility from the nature of his personal interest: He threw out these suggestions for the consideration oldie House.—(bear !) The report was then received, and a.grece.l.to. • - Ale. ESTCOURT gave notice, that early in next session he would move for various accounts of the Commissioners of tie Navigation of the Thames, and of other rivers tributary to the Thames.. . COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the operative cotton weavers of Leith, against the re-enactment of the Combination Laws —Laid on the table. RIGHT OF ELECTION IN WEST LOOE AND B.‘ `BURY. Lord NUGENT said, a petition had been ' placed in hie bands by the resident householders of West Looe, in Corn wall, and Banbury in Oxfordshire, relative to the state of the elective franchise in those boroughs. These petitions :Vert, in the subjects they euibrsced. and .the consequences which attended upon them, important not only to the elective fran chise in general, but important to that . House, and to the representative system at large. He had mentioned these peti tions together, but it was his intention at present to consider only one of them—the petition from West Looe ; because, although their object was identified, their prayer and case varied with the different state of their Representative Con stitUtion ; and as they both prayed an inquiry into the right of voting, and into the manner in which Members Were re turned, and both complained of an invasion of their elec tive ftanchise, he thought it might be better, for the sake of perspiCuity, in the few observations he was about• to • sub mit to the House, to examine only one. of them. It might be very easy to, show that a custom of voting resting 'upon a variety of writs, precepts, and returns in the borough of West Loot, from time immemorial constituted a suflicient law for 'the regulation of that borough ; but it was added" Co that, that the custom had never been in any case, broken through, and was uninvaded by.any.Charier, he thought it might tie pre sumed that the common laa right of voting was unielienably attached to the inhabitants of that borough. He believed in deed that it was ruled that in the absence of Corporations. the common law vests the right of voting in all the inhabitanta-Pay ing scot and lot. So it was decided by the famous Committee in the 11th of James I. of which Glanville was a member, and which repOrted upon the Abingdon case and five or siz others, a Committee composed of Selwyn, Lord Coke, and some; of the ablest men of the day. In its Ituport the common lasi right W.I. distinctly stated ; and in the famous Pontefract caeelt was distinctly laid down, that the Crown had no power to limit that right of voting. It may be asked why he mentioned cheat cases, because the Charter neither limits nor attempts to limit that right. He only mentioned them because he took them its a ground for piotesting against any attempt to restrain these rights, or introduce limitations .which were contrary both to law and custom. This was no Petition for Parliamentary Reform. The petitioners were content with that they pos sessed. They asked for no change—no extension. They were content with the law as it now stands- NVhether he Agreed with them or not was not a matter of consideration. it "was his duty to state their desires to the House.. -He thought he could not take any better course in explaining *Mai:Use, than to read apart of the petition. The Noble Lord then referred to the petition, which stated, that by an ancient Charter; if any one resided for a year and a day in the Borough, he became, ips2 facto, a Burgess, according to the custom of other fret boroughs , and entitled to vote for the election of 3lembersof Parliament and that so it continued daring a vast numbez of other Charters:, down to the time of the 16th of Elizabeth, when the town watt incorporated by a petition of the whole of the inhabitants, as .. free body corporate, of burgesses and inhabitants, or common alty. Both before and after that time, continued. the Noble Lord, the burgesses, inhabitants, or commonalty. were always intended to mean the name 'persons ; but in the years 1070 . 1676, the first usurpations began ; then they fait found free burgesses and inhabitants under distinct names in the books• of the Corporath:in ; and in three years toe-Sir John St. Aubyli and several others were introduced furtively at the bOttom o!* the list, they being now resident bUrgesses ;. the manner in which they were introduced, by a kind of collusion, beinr a proof that it was considered a thing: ,new, unusual, and . contrary to law and custom. In consequence of • the names of persons being thus furtively, introduced, a_ jl4 - of the in habitants of Court beet determined that no one be sworn a member . of the Corporation unless. he was .entered by e. ury of the burgh. . That presentation .was afterwards ac tually cutout of the book, and new insertions of the original charter. grad,ually.introduced. They came now. to the proceed ings which had,been at last taken by the inhabitants for the rt.- covery oftheir rikhti under the Grenville Act in 16'22; At th,i time a petition was plesented to the . House by one of - tire can didates (R. Stephenson, Eeq. we believe), and. 47 of the inha bitants, for the purpose of heving, the neerits of their case trice by a Committee of the House, there being then seven, out of the twelve capital burgeiies resident out of the borough, one of them not having• been in the place for ten yeere. e , Tb,t pro ceedings under that petitiOn having been at length carried by a mandammi before. the King's Berta- .
