Mr. Luslitiscvrart and others, from the Commons, brought up a Bill for regulating the Printing of the Votes anal Journals of that House, and several private Bills. COUNTY COURTS BILL. Earl FITZWILI,I,43I presented a petition from the Pro. thonotaries of the City of York, claiming a compensation, if the County Courts Bill passed into a.law.—Laid on the table. _ QUARANTINE LAWS. Lord -KIN° presented a petition from Dr. VLean, - against the present Quarantine System. The Noble Lord observed, that the petition deserved the serious attention of their Lord ships, as it came from one who must be acitnowledgtd to be a very ardent searcher after truth, even if he were not right. H e would not, however, detain them by going into all the details of the petition; which prayed fur a revision of the present laws, On the ground of their being founded on the belief that the 1 , 440 1 e depended on cdntagimu-,a doitrine which many emi nent physicians regarded as founded on ptejudice and igno rance. 'fhe petitioner was one of those who contended that the plague was epidemic, not contagio us . This . quesnon had been referred to the College ofPhysicians, but he did not.think...that the best mode of getting a question of difficulty solved. - That learned body probably had, like some others, a great dislike to innovation, and would, no doubt, very willingly swallow the whole 39 article in one bolus. lie did not think these persons the best men to reform physic, any more than he would think lawyers the best men for reforming the law. He would just as soon apply to the Archbishop of Dublin for the reform of St. Athanasius's Creed, who, on his_oath before a Committee of the House, had declared that that creed contained no damns tory clauses, but was merely a parenthesis from one end to the other. Whatever th e i r L or d s hi ps m i g h t t hi n k o f this quarantine question, it appeared to him that a very sore disease, whether contagious or epidemic he could not determine, afflicted the House. Their Lordships met every day to hear causes, not to determine, at ten o'clock ; and the suitors by whom the House was beset, called the disease the-plague of indecision. This disorder was very prevalent in the House. On Monday last the Noble Earl opposite was very seriously affected by it. He stood between the fire and the woolsack in the very line of the draught of indecision. He then came towards the table to speak on the Canada Corn Bill, and immediately the Noble Earl found himself seized with this epidemic of indecision. He first proposed live years for the.period of the Bill ; by and by he stink down to three years ; and lastly, to one year. To show, however, how- different the epidemic was from a conta gion, or- animal poison, the Noble Lord soon recovered. He went to dine with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Trade, who had not been'affected by the disorder, but stood firm. With them he got rid of his epidemic indecision, and promised to carry his Bill through the House. The Noble and Learned Lord, too, could get rid of his indecision on certain questions. There was a good air as well as a bad air, and there was no want of de c i s i on aga i ns t the Catholics. The Noble and Learned Lord doubtless thought that the Vatican was full'of contaminated air t: but if he went there, and could see how well the system worked—that every thing was done snugly without the interference of any com missioners of inquiry, he was sure the Noble and Learned Lord would no longer exclaim " No Popery !" but would with all his heart cry"' O ! Popery !" The LORD CHANCELLOR did not rise to oppose the petition, but merely to say, that if a plague was to be removed from that House, he could very easily tell their Lordships what its name was. The Colonial Intercourse Bill, and the Duke of Cumber land's Annuity Bill, went-through Committees. The Marquis of HASTINGS gave-notice that he would to morrow introduce a Bill fur the purpose of explaining and de fining the Act of the 13th Geo. 111., relative to the limitation of the rate of interest on Loans made in India. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from the City, praying to be again heard by Counsel against certain parts of the Equi• table Loan Bill. After a few words from the Earl of LAUDERDALX in its support, and from the Duke of AT tioLL against it, the petition was laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of London, relative to the Law of Merchants' Bill.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition, signed b 7 all the Ma gistrates na mes had been improperly a ffi xed to a pen ghton _division of the county of Sussex, com . - tion, ns w t which Brighton Improvement Bill. They prayed the Pgirnaitnegs * to c h h fatth h te a n d ßeirri been signed by twelve obsure individualt, House to plinish the authors of an imposition which had led the House to reject a very useful and salutary Bill. The Hon. takeo ttie l a a n t y en owing House t ot r e t s h e against sess i on the h e offending parties. He would, however, give notice, that early should not ot said , 0 v t e h t a h t e in the next session he would move for th e re-introduction of this very Bill. PETER'S DIVORCE BILL. lateness s ea o su f The House then went into a Committee on Peter's Divorce Bill, Witnesses were examined, and the adultery proved ; after which the House resumed, and the Report of the Com mittee was biought up. ALLEGED OPPRESSION OF LORD CHARLES SOMERSET. Mr. BROUGHAM said that he had a petition to present from Mr. Bishop Burnett, of the Cape of Good Hope, which stated sundry proceedings regarding the government of that colony, which were highly deserving the consideration of the House. He would open to the House the facts stated in the petition, and would then beg leave to lay it on the table, pre mising thus much—that he did not intend to make himself liable for the truth of the petitioner's statements. He had,. however, made such inquiries of the petitioner respecting his statements as had convinced him, from the „tests to which he had put the petitioner's accuracy, that he was at least consistent in the story he told. He would state the facts of the petition as they had been stated to him, and would then leave the House to deal as it chose with the allegations of the petitioner. The petitioner stated, that in the year 1820 he went out a settler to the district of Albany, in the Cape of Good Hope; that he ex pended a considerable capital in the cultivation of that district, and that he was encouraged so to expend it by the Colonial Se cretary, who assured him th at h e would receive the utmost as sistance, provided he did not burden the Government with the expence of transporting a party of settlers in aid of his under taking. The petitioner fu rt h er stated, that he expended more than 2 0,000 rix-dollars in prosecution of his designs, and in order to show the House the lucrative nature of the speculation in which he employed it, declared that he had been offered from 7,000 to 10,000 dollars as the estimated gross produce of his first year's returns. The petitioner said that he had to complain of the proceedings of the colonial courts of law. Ile stated that he had been engaged in a suit at law with one Robert Hart for• sale the t h petitioner petitioner's went nt pro-nnthe recovery of 90(1 dollars ; th a t Robert Ilart pr ocee d e d through forms of law with w hi c h he was utterly unacqua i nte d to judgment ag a i nst hi m , an d t h at i n consequence of that judg mpeerntyt.heTprheep j a u re d il grn to en m t a w k a e s a f o lo p ubl i cw d up, of to say, by a publication of his insolvency, thought he had at that time a bona Ale claim upon the. Commissariat for forage he had supplied to it. The petitioner further declared that the sale had been as arbitrarily suspended by the Colonial Government, as it had been illegally threatened, and that in spite of every re monstrance he had made on the subject, the affair had remain ed in abeyance for two years, notwithstanding the public judi cial declaration of a Commission of Circuit that these proceed ings were in error, and that the petitioner Was no , insolvent. The petitioner then tftatetl, that he instituted proceedings both against Robert Hart and the public sequestrator, for their at tempt to ruin him by a false declaration of his insolvency ; but that he found the proceedings of the Commission of Circuit so illegal and corrupt, as to convince him that no redress was to be obtained from such a quarter. He found that he had not only to struggle with the corruptness of the Courts, but also with the decided.entriity of the C.olonial Government ; in short, that Lord C. stnerset was his decided personal enemy.— (Hear ! )—The petitioner considered the cause o f t h at enmity to, be a grea t fear on the part ofstlie Governor l est there the 'Commisasio should be• a scrutiny into his conduct by Good Ho pe , of I _ n tin.e who had been'sent out to the Cape of Good H ope, and a W I to get rid of a person who could give each st rong evidence • against him as the petitioner. The petitioner afterwards pro ceeded to state, . that he found it his duty . to represent Governor , his e ase in a memorial to his Excellency the with a bona fide view of obtaining inquiry and redress—a proce e di ng which he laws of all civilized described to be warranted by the states, and especially justified by those of his native country. Hi s Ex. celiency, however, not only did not inatitute at) , inquiry into the merits of the charges - which the petitioner brought against the Commissioners, but absolutely treated his petition after the precedent of James 11. Yes, this petition, or memorial, or rx presentation, or remonstrance, was absolutely treated by his Ex cellency the Governor as if it had been a• libel'on -the Govern ment, and W3l by him placed in the hands of the fiscal, with or ders to have it prosecuted as a libel. Now, if this fact were true,it was a good ground of impeachment against Lord(;: Somerset.:_. (Hear !)—That was his opinion as a lawyer, and he had no doubt of its correctness.—(Hear!)—His Excellency the . Go vernor, according to the statement of the petitioner, put - this Me morial into the' hands of the fiscal, with orders to - commeirce criminal proceedings thereon, and a prosecution for libel was be gun accordingly. The petitioner stated, shit " a 3 no /ei loci WHY applicable to his case, as there was rinEnglish statute nor Dutch decree, nor even summary enactment of a Cape Procla mation, the fiscal obtained his conviction upon his owe war. ranted assumption of Roman practice"--which Roman prac= tire, said Mr. ham, if it allude to • the lea regia, is the most arbitrary of amoenting in'one stage of it to the infliction of capttal punishfitent—‘` both contrary to the laws of the ten tebles, of the pandects ofJustinian, the acknow ledged breves of that code by which the ilataviati Republic and its provinces had -hitherto been governed." The result of the proceeding was, that the petitioner was sentenced to five , years' banishment froth the colony for presenting a memorial to his Excellency which it was his duty- to receive. There was a libel issued' against the Viceroy, which was foul and scandalous, and grounless as any charge could be. An attempt was made to -fix this libel upon the petitioner, wkowas as incapable of such a thing as the Governor-General was of the atrocious practices to ' which tharlibel referred. But who did the libeller turn out to be ? Why a Mr. Jones. Now he begged the gentlemen of the ' principality not to grow warm at that name, for this Mr. Jones proved to be no other person than Oliver the spy, who had. obtained the patronage and influence of the local govern: meat. Why should he not ? He enjoyed the influenced and patronage of the Government at home, and he deserved it equally wellinhoth places. There was no doubt that Edwards might be there too, and Castles, for they also had entitled there selves to the favour of the Government.. Certainly Mr. Oliver was there"; .and in the pursuance of-his former practices, he chose this method of stinging the. Governor. The peti tioner's charges were in one Instance against the whole body of the judicial institutions. The complaint was, that those institutions furnished no adequate securities to the enjoyment of personal liberty and the rights of property; The 'petitioner also complained of the management of the Commissariat department because, instead of an open bidding for the supply of the rations for the troops, the business was settled by a private tender. The consequence was, that 23 stivers and a fraction were paid to the bailiff of the Governor's establishment for rations, which the petitionersays he would have gladly supplied at 10 stivers. lie confessed that to himself and his colleagues about him this and the following charges looked and savoured too much of profit— they had, as it were, too lucrative an aspect. The next charge was relative to the exchanges of money, which were observed to run peculiarly in favour of his Excellency's arrangements, ac:' cordingly as his affairs required them. Wh e th er h e h a d t o d raw : or to remit, he was sure to be equally fortenate with the ex- ' changes. In cases of appeal to his Excellency from the tribe, mils, little good was to be expected, according to the petitioner, from the present administration of that court. A Dutchman of the name of Dune had succeeded in causes wherein he was ap pellant to his Excellency, " shortly after the purchase of one of his Excellency's horses for 10,000 dollars, which died after pay. meat, and before delivery from the stables." He wished the House to consider this transaction. Ten thousand dollars for one horse! Why this was the dearest horse that ever was known since the horse of Troy ; and it ought to prove as fatal either to the petitioner or the Governor as the contents of that renown- . ed wooden horse did to the people of Troy. And then the Go, vernor's horse died before delivery, and after paprient. there' was eernething peculiar in the nature of these things, which re quired explanation. Surely it ought to have been the very paragon of horses to cost ten thousand via -dollars. Why, ac cording to his Hon. Friends about him, that would be between 2,0001. and 3,0001. sterling—a sum which he had never heard of as the price of a horse, except for some of those extraordi- • nary and valuable creatures that wori the plates. However, to comfort the Dutchman, who might be supposed to have gone about grumblin at his bargain in low Dutch, his Excellency was thought to have said, " Bring your appeal, and I will give the cause in your favour." He did not think the Governor capable of a twentieth part of the charges generally made against him ; but if he were justly to be suspected of one half of these .....if he (Mr. Brougham) believed that there was evidence to support one half, he should feel it to be his duty as a Member of Parliament to bring an impeachment. It would be seen how far the House inclined to protect him from . the inquiry. He would move, in thefirat place, for leave 'to bring up the peti tion. He took that opportunity of saying that the Commis. sioners appointed to inquire into the affairs of that colony had been a long time-making their report. Mr. W. HORTON thought that there was a want* of the usual personal courtesy shewn to him in not informing him of the intention of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to bring up this petition. He was happy that he chanced 'so be present.-- Any portions of the correspondence with his Excellency Lord C. Somerset might be obtained, as he would make no opposition to any proper motion submitted for that purpose. The case of the petitioner was a matter of some notoriety, and in all pro bability the report of the Commissioners would contain much reference to it. As to the production of the report, there were • circumstances which had tended to delay it. Mr. Biggs lied been sent out to review the judicial institutions, with the de sign of assimilating at the earliest possible period the Dutch ; and. English law. The health of Mr. Biggs failed, and that object was delayed. As to the abuses of the Commissariat, he had heard nothing of the charges before. Aa'to the exchanges,' Government, by a-late regulation, had taken away the possi bility of any suspicions of unfairness in future. Hut if the charges were true, in God's name let them be regularly made and proved. Upon the subject of appeals, and the aneedote of Dune's horse, he cautioned the House and the country not to give full credence without more evidence. There seemed to be a certain degree of conspiracy prevailing against Lord Charlee Somerset. But the petition professing to be against . the Go veruor went against the constituency of .all the' udicial eutho.: . rities, and it was unfair not to distinguish - in such a Comlaint' between the acts of the Governor and the defects of thej)utch law. He was not responsible for the want of facilities for com plaints against the law and authorities before the ConiniS sioners. They were sent out to inquire, not into every case 'of grievance, but to discover the easiest and safest method of brine.; ing about a speedy amelioration of the whole system of govern ment in that colony. The House ought to be aware of peti tions urged on individual suggestion against persons holding high and responsible situations under the Government, and within the regular controul of Parliament. - Mr.- -BROUGHAM said, that he woiald'take an early op portunity of putting the sincerity of-the nom Gentleman to the test, in his:offer to produce the correspondence. Would he, to begin the experiment, produce the correspondence of Sir Ru: fane Dunkin ? He should very much like to Nee the correspond ence-of Sir Rufane -Dunkin with Lord C. Somerset produced. If after this it were refused, he should knOw what to think. Mr. W. HORTON declared that -he was utterly uneon; scious of any correspondence of Sir- Rufane Dorrkin being in his office, which specifically charged Lord C. Somerset with any thing. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he did not a first believe that Gevernment would be willing to give up the correspondence. The Hon. Gentleman chose to qualify it in a manner which he in his i t t l ic e c c° ha r r t g ell e ' .. (Mr. Brougham) did not, he having only spoken si . , o e t p u n; d t h e e n Lvw conductitouoti. s th ay e i n i I g o n th . a ci t en i t ticoemntaaninheed confirmedwahnl first belief.- „ Mr. BARING said, that the present debate-was a proof of the bad system which had been set - up for the government of this colony.

ELLICE•said, that Government ought certainly"to effect a revision of colonial law. Most of the colonies were governed by some old system now got into disuse in the countries front which the laws were derived. In 'the French colonies the oil Bourbon law prevailed, though that was rejected at home favour of the code Napoleon. And now upon a case of a7y complexity. even the French thetnselVes could . not agree upon the proper interpretation of it Another great evil in matters of colonial law, .was the fluctuation of 'the Orders in Connell which stranglyungettled it. - 11Ir. BROUGHAM said that by moving to refer the petition to a Select Committee, it seemed that he would be doing ,that which best suited the views of all parties,. Lord C. Somerset ought not to'be the sport and victirri'of charges lobsi•Wyenti latedin this . llDuse. If thAse charges Were untrue, they ought t 6 beable to punish the authors of such gross mis-statements. Lord C. Somerset ought to challenge- investigation, and Go vernment ought to wish for it. He wanted to have the oppor tunity of inquiring for' himself in a Committee. Ili . would for the present content himself with !laving the petition laid on the table, and printed.--The petition was as f011oWs: To the Honourable the Connifons Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain anti Ireland, ip Parliament aSsembled.
