SCOTCH JUDICATURE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in rising to move the se cond reading of the Scotch Judicature Bill, said, that it was his intention at present to Make but few observations on the subject, in moving for the concurrence of their Lordships that the Bill be read a second time. It would be in the recollection of their Lordships that when during the last Session of Perlis n:^^• a Bill- was brought into the House for improving the system of Scotch Judicature, their Lordships, in considering the best and safest mode of proceeding, had thotight fit to ap point a Committee, in order that the Committee might lay be fore the House the opinions of those whose peculiar advan tages enabled them to be best informed on the subject. A Commission had therefore been appointed in Scotland, and that Commission had, he understood, been unanimous in their deci sion. Their Lordships should recollect that the parties named on this Commission . were selected from the most experienced persons, to convey to their Lordships the best information pos sible. He would now take the liberty of offering the Bill to their Lordships, to be read a second time, fot the purpose of being committed. In its progress through the House it would, of coarse. be competent in their Lordships to offer such clauses and amendments its they thought proper r, but it was his in tention to introduce the Bill precisely as he introduced it last Session;•as it would not be conformable to the dignity of the House to introduce it in its form as amended by the other House. At the same time he begged to assure their Lordships that in coating the Bill in its present shape he did not in the least degree intend to oppose any alterations they might wish ton to make. this—ife.Theptolimnet, object i o however, for theirfo r tih.oeritrishhotprsdwshais as' considera tion n w s a id s era un derstood to be, to interfere to a certain extent with the juries of that part of the Kingdom called Scotland, would their Lord ships make the Bill, as it now stood, perpetual, or would they take time to allow the Bill to operate before so doing ? He should therefore now move, " That the Bill be read a second ,time, and that it be committed on Monday next." The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, he was going to sub mit to his Noble and Learned Friend and the Noble Lords, whether it Would not be better to commit the Bill to-morrow, and to have it then considered and amended, in order that it may be re-committed on Monday ? He knew no reason why this should not be the case, as it would prevent further delays, and enable their Lordships to dispose of the Bill at once. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed in the opinion of the Noble Lord, but he might be so occupied to-morrow as to be quite unable to pay attention to the subject : were it not for this he should be happy to accede to the wish of the Noble Lord (Lauderdale.) He (the Lord Chancellor) would endea vour between this and Monday to make such alterations in the Bill as would save the House considerable trouble ; and he should propose that, if the House thought proper, the Bin should be then re-committed on Wednesday. .. .. _ . _ The Duke of ATHOL said, that he approved. of the main nrineiPle of the Bill, anti hoped that when the Bill went into a Committee, such alterations would be made as would satisfy the inhabitants of the northern parts of the kingdom. He would not offer an opinion at present on the merits of the Bill in its present form ; but he would reserve his observation. un til the Bill was before a Committee, and- then he would deliver Ahem." Ffom what - had fallen, however, from the Noble and ; Learned Lord on the Woolsack, he apprehended that Bill would be altered in many respects before it. was laid before a Committee. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed un Monday next. • BURMESE WAR. • Earl BATIIUR9T hid upon the table sundry Papers rela; tive to the Burrnev war. .• • The Earl of SHA TESPURY laid npon the table certain Papers respecting Offices held in reversion. SPRING GUNS. Lord SUFFIELD rose, pur:4lant to the notice he had given .some days since, to call the attention of their Lordships - to a: sithject which, in his opinion, was one of very great imp it twice Act to declare unlawful the use of spring-guns and other instruments, which tended to, the destruction of human life, or the infliction oLother injuries. lie hadi been, informed that it was consitlerft by the House tnnre orderly to pass - by without any observations the motion for a first reading, lest replies should be invited, which would conic better at the second reading. He should, therefore, simply confine himself to stating the object of the arid the reasons that induced him to bring it forward. The object he had already stated in reading the title of the Bill ; and, if he were asked the reasons why he produced it, he should refer to the accounts that are daily contained in the public papers, of disasters that have occurred through the use of those instruments,. and of their consequences to the many persons who have been injured. Indeed, it appeared that poachers were, of all, the persons who suffered least, who were the least injured by the instruments that were used chiefly for their punishment. Gentleman's ser vants, even Gentlemen themselves, had been frequently suf ferers; indeed, he had understood that by means of those in struments, even Royal blood had been nearly shed. He was sure that their Lordships would - hardly sanction an 'individual in taking the law into his own hands, and visiting a culprit with a capital punishment for an offence for which the law would have visited men with a punishment far lighter. He objected to the use of these instruments, more especially be cause of the sneaking and assassin-like manner in which the punishment was inflicted. Ile would not say that all who did so were murderers, but he was sure that no Noble Lord would wish to shed the blood of a fellow-creature who entered his grounds merely to steal. It was, however, necessary that the subject should be brought properly before their Lordships. As to the legality of spring-guns, he thought he might undertake to prove that they were illegal; he could not state that the law 'was distinctly - so ; if he could so have done, it would not have been necessary for hini to present the Bill he now held in his hand, the effect of which was to have all doubts on the subject cleared up. His mode of making out the illegality of those instruments would be by analogical arguments, at the second reading of the Bill. He would not now trouble their Lordships with any further remarks on the subject, but simply move the first reading of the Bill, and that it be read a second time this • day senniglit. Earl GROSVENOR said, he highly approved of the Bill, and believed that it would be productive of much hood. The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time this day se'nnight. CATHOLIC PETITION. The Earl of DoNOUG H MORE rose and said—" 'My Lords, I rise to present a petition that hLs been confided to my care— the value of which confidence I know, and can justly appreciate— it is a Petition from my Roman Catholic countrymen—men who are liable to certain restrictions, but who pray for the re storation of those rights which they ought to enjoy under the, common Legislature of the country. I should feel that I was doing wrong in merely presenting this Petition, and not accom panying it with any remarks ; but it is not my intention to enter into the subject at length at the present moment; and I now merely call your Lordsnips' attention to the necessity of appointing a day for giving it your serious and undivided atten tion. I shall then have an opportunity of again openly and candidly avowing my sentiments to your Lordships. I shall now only say a few words more. The Petition I have the hoaour to present to your Lordships is not an ordinary PetitiOn -- is not a Petition on any .ordinary subject; it is the. Petition of no less than one hundred thousand subjects, and faithful sub jects or his Majesty. I do not exaggerate when I, call them faithful subjects— say they are as f ait hf u l as any other sub jects in his Majesty's dominions. Faithful subjects they have at all times proved themselves to be—and faithful subjects they will be alwaysready to prove themselves, whenever oceasionmay call upon them for the proof. The petitioners do not stand forth for themselves alone, but for no less than seven millions of persons. I do not overcharge the picture when I inform your Lordships that those one hundred thousand represent seven millions of your fellow-subjects. I am sure that there never was a sentiment at any time so strong or so universal to the whole population of Ireland, as the sentiment expressed in the Petition I now bring before your Lordships—a sentiment in which all are agreed—all, from the Peer to the peasant—of all religions and all professions. I believe in my soul that there -never was in any country a sentiment in which so many were unanimous. But the people are not only so; .they have carried on their proceedings with that energy and determination natural to a people when deprived of great national rights; and many persons have met together to talk of and consider how to provide the best remedy for their grievances. They have not only ,met together, but they have been assisted in their meetings by those of their, countrymen who hare been and are distinguished for talent and abilities. Never, then, were your Lordships . • . upon so strongly 0., now to • take- the gtieva:oces of'etbi . s people into your serious consideration. / have told yoter lrjtd ships , that the peeitioners represent the feelings and the Opis • nions of the great bulk of the .population 'of Ireland. - Bl'ot there is one observation more.. wine! I cannot help bringing under notice.. The first name I find written down among those who remain, deprived of their rights and privileges. is that ,of no less. a personage than the premier Viscount of Ireland— Lord Gertnatistown—and who is he ? I will tell your 443- ships who he is. He iathe lineal descendant of a hordDepts ty of the same name ; the King's Representative in' ireland.he betterstimes. I, myself, have .great satisfaCtiort in aticla . ri4 the sentiments—in being, as it were, the proxy of the Nfilsh Marquis who now represents his Majesty in Ireland n and the . sentiments of the illustrious personage arc well known to be fa favour of Catholic. Emancipation. 1 haVe stated thactlie name of a descendant of a former Lord Deputy is signed to . thislie...• • tition, and the present Lord Deputy - has allowed me to teli your Lordships what are his feelings on the aubjecs. I will - qy, that for that illustrious pdrsonage f have the highest -res;ie.c.i,: and I believe that his Majesty never had a More faitlife'l sir more honest Representative in Ireland than he has been duriag the time he has governed there. "Front the beginning of Isis ea s e a reer he has been determined to do that country all the goOd in' fit4 ; :e his power, in every way that good could be done. • 'ln the re- , •• formation of the magistracy, in particular his Excellency has been eminently successful ; and in many other instances. of equal importance, his justice and his liberality have best prov ed. An office of great impOrtance was vacant in the Irish:a:ore , of Exchequer, and on whom did the Lord Lieutenant sont:er that office ? On a gentleman who was well known in this (Tun; try, and who - had distinguished himself' at the English bar:---' Mr. Blake, a Catholic Gentleman, now holds that high office in the Court of Exchequer—and to. that Court he will add luStre • and bring equity. livery one whir knows any thing of freltufil, knows how strong and how incessant haVe been the good r.tel ing of the Lord Lieutenant ofthat country; but although I antis much, it does not follow that I agree in, the policy or pro priety of all that has been done under his Government. The' Noble Lords on the other side of the House know well trat it is not the fault of the Noble Lords around me if they have not been informed as to the opinions of that illustribus personage. They have taken all the pains they ' , possibly could to receive such information, and to procure those,dispatehes from his Ex cellency which he alone could give them. I, for my own part, only know that a measure has been recommended by the Speech from the Throne, that it has been braught forward by his Ma jesty's. Ministers, but I have no reason to know, nothing has occurred to persuade me, whether or not the'Lord Lieuter-artt approved of that measure. On this point we have been left tin perfect ignorance ; the information haS been refused us sonic-. what uncourteously by the heads of; the Government.. .•I cons cider, and • l cannot help Saying, that I consider his rxcelk-hcy as one cause of the present tranquil and improved state of Ire land—for lrelarld never was so tranquil or so improved as it now is. 1 hope most sincerely that it will last.; that no mea sure of Parliament will prevent it from lasting. I have said what I have said in justice to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but I must say that he has been assisted strongly, .ably, and usefully, in every thing he has done, by the so much calum niated Catholic Association, and by that calumniated idol of the. Catholic Association, Daniel O'Connell. I cannot help era - pressing the great respect and regard I entertain for. that gen tlenvin,—my satisfaction at his conduct, and my gond wishel for his success. He has the confidence of the Catholic body. and there is no man more deserving of that confidence. I shalt now move that the petition be received ; but- with respimt to the question which it brings before your .Lordships, I shall-not ask your Lordships to fix a day fur its;consideration until the -measure to which I have alluded comes down to your Lortlahips, as I-have no doubt it will, from the other House. I shall4nova therefore thit the petition be received and read. The petition was . then read. • • ..• I,ord LONGFORD said, that lie felt . it. necessary to 'lake an observation, which had been made by the Noble jletsrai. (Donoughmore) : that Noble Lord had nude the petitioners to represent the sentiments of seven millions ofthe populosiozi of Ireland. But the Noble Lord had since inftirmed.lons,'that he did not mean the. Protestants as well as the Catholics. • - The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, he rote for the ptirite ,, e of presenting to their LOrdships a petition, which he hoped might be allowed to say was worthy their Lordships' most.,so- . . oul attention. It was a petition from tIY banketee• merchants, arid landholdtrs of Dublin, in favOur of CatholiC . Ernariciprifion. lie should net fe - doing justice to those who lia.d placed:Ate'Ve tition in his hands, if he did not call the attention of their Vora ships to it. De did riot mean to •go now - into the gerieral.ptiii elide, as another and a better opportunity would of coursV-olesity for so doing. But he was aneious•to impress upon tht _ ships the necessity for attending to this petition, not on ISe score of numbers, although it contahied Many hundred Mat t but because tit' the strength and the-respeetsbility of those sJ,, signed it—for this reason it was worthy the peculiar attentiori . c.f their Lordships. Hs would call that attention first, to-some particular signatures contained in it, and next, to the nature of the whole. Those Who were acquainted with the charac ter and disposition of a Noble Friend of his (the Duke *(1 Leinster) would not be surprised to find his name iii the list. Immediately following his was the • name of the Earl of Meath—the petition, therefore, contained the .signattiri•s of two of the greatest landed proprietors in that part :Of. the kingdom. In the petition were also the names of DOwnshire, Westmeath, Kingston, Charlemont, and Limerick, men who were among the purest and the best that any country has ever produced. To these were added the names of Forties, Glengall, Itiversdale, and Castlecoote. After these followed the names of a family, as respectable, as opulent, and as great as any in the country—the family of Latouche, the • Protestant family. of Latouche. Yet if there were any persons who might be excusable in retaining something of a vindictiie spi rit against the Catholics, it was this family of Latouche, for their ancestors were the victims of an arbitrary arid tyrhnoieal act, which a Monarch adopted front a pretended motive of sav ing the Catholics , —but which act did in reality disserve as what religion has not been at times disserved, degraded, and polluted, by the fanatical zeal of those who have allowed them-, selves to proceed blindly on their way, forgetting the grand pre ' cepts of Chriatianity.: The ancestors of the gentlemen he had alluded to bad been the victims of this act; and had been.diiiVen from this country to seek an asylum under a foreign Ouvirn merit. Vet this . they had ftirgotten ; and as the long exercise of one virtue naturally leads to the performance of another, the active benevolence of three generations had given that wisdom which flows from the heart. They had been brought to behold their Roman Catholic brethren, not with hostile feelings, Mit as living members of the same body; - as sharing in the same fill= ficulties, encountering the same dangers, participating in : the same sufferings ' anti performing the same duties, and praying only to live under the same laws. He (Lord Lanstiown ) might go farther into•the petition, mind find the names of many of n t4e n s a p m e7t s of f e high rank and importance, but with which lie would not now trouble their Lordships. He might quote the names of the many hankers of the city of Dublin who had signtd those the t petition ii ro u g ; horw whose e m iegxhetr exertions s fu a r ntittier, capita}an d a state etv pro prosperity was opening Co Ireland, and new means of wealth were daily unfolding to the country, who were engaged in this noble and truly patriotic pursuit—that of fostering the industry of the country, and leading Ireland to share in that prosperity, of which England is so glorious an example. Those capitalists have come forward, as well as those merchant and those Noblemen to whom he had alluded. He would leave their Lordships to judge what degree of importance waseo be i• attached to the ti stimoriy . of all those different persons; and he hoped that their Lordships would not believe that thelbhat sd done what they had 'done without first duly considerinl , 'they were about. He was sure their Lordships would e e' - lieve that these noble landholders timid set their nariL e t :. ei t _ i o r re. t . :-, ,t i! e v i ; tition without well weighting the consequences to r and their land, in case of the passing of the measo tn ew e l e ::: of sure recommended the House to adopt.
