T HE most important Invention that has ever been adopted . for the relief of this Disease has lately been suggested by the skill and ingenuity of Messrs. ADAMS, of•Oldbury, near Birmingham. The TRUSS is upon, an entirely new principle, by which the pressure may he increased or diminished in an instant, without its removal, so as to afford the wearer the means of Suiting it to any circumstances either of convenience or necessity, under which be or she may he placed. It adapts itself closely, firmly, yet comfortably tri the person, and admits freely of any exertion, • without incurring a possibility of the slightest change of situation. So defective has every instrument hitherto invented been in comfort and security, that Adams' Truss is an invention which every persim afflicted with Hernia will highly appreciate and approve.

"History is s ij ont tfilethe apology being raadd; but Lord North 'Aritninistr Lion we; dismissed in a few months (with-cut receising tt , halter), and peace, with its concomitant blessings, w soon restored to Europe. • At a more advanced period of his life the Prince Wales numbered the facetious end..witty.

This honour was almest ton overpowering►, even for the nerves of the 'accomplished bon vivant, end first be tried to turn the discourse ; hut the Prince, perceiving this, became more decisive in his manner, and the Colonel, driven into a corner, was obliged to make up his mind to the " untoward event;" but how to make up the dinner wag not so easy a matter; he, however, " bor rowed," as he called it, " a leg of mutton from a friendly butcher;" and a kind-hearted fishmonger "lent him," as he said, "a pair of soles." By great good fortune he had two bottles of Madeira remaining out of his last importation, to which a neighbour, hearing of his dilemma, added three bottles of old port. His animal spirits had just began to revive at his good fortune, when his Illustrious guest arrived, accompanied by too friends, one of whom was the celebrated Mr. Fox ; the other was of the same school, but he still survives. The Prince was highly pleased with the philosophic made of life, a, he called it, which his friend, the Colonel, had adopted, and assured him that he thought his health and property would be much improved by such prudent conduct. Colonel Hanger, however, who was no novice at repartee, soon cc. covered 'from this bantering, and the most brilliant com munications of wit flushed round the social board until a late hoar, each party at parting, sail often a r terwards,.de-- daring that it was one of the most pleasant evenings they had ever experienced, where ladies were not of the party. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(LAST NIGHT.) The House met to-day shortly after Three o'clock, The Earl of SetArritsucar took his seat on the Woo Nick, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. The Duke of Bran- don, the Iltrl of Chesterfield, the Marquis of Winchester, and the Bishop of St. David's, took the oaths of allegiance. The LORD CHANCIMLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a Quarter past Five o'clock. BIRMINGHAM GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Earl GREY presented a petition from certain 141 tants of Birmingham, praying that the third reading this Bill might not take place till next Session. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY observed that the was at the present moment in a very wit/need stage, ant on that account he felt disposed to move its third reading at the present moment. Lord CALTHORPE would give the Bill his utmost support, because be believed it to be most beneficial to the town ofßirminghatn, and that it had in view all the objects which the Royal Founder wished it to embrace. He also believed that their Lordships, by passing the Bill at the present moment, would prevent that continual irritation which would exist in the town of Birmingham during the interval between the close of the present and the meeting of another Parliament. The Earl of RADNOR opposed the third reading. There was an understanding that the Bill should be post poned, and he should, therefore, vote against sending it to the Commons. Earl FERRERS supported the third reading. Earl GREY observed that the great mass of the mer chants of Birmingham were decidedly of opinion that the interests of the town of Birmingham would be materially injured by the passing of the present Bill. He considered the best mode of securing the tranquillity of the town of Birmingham would be to let the present Bill stolid over till next Session, as in the mean time the parties might discuss the matter, and settle all differences amicably. The Earl of HARROWBY supported the third reading. An extensive grammar 'tattool like the present was perfectly useless in a Jarge town like Birmingham. The object of the Bill was to increase the benefit of the present school, in consequence of its increased revenue, and to ingraft upon its foundation those peculiar blanches of knowledge which would tend to great utility in the instruction of the youths of the present day. He thought it rather bard that the present Bill ►hould go Over to the next Session, and that the introducers of the Bill had acted most wisely in giving up the principal objectionable clause, whereby It was proposed that Dis senters should not be allowed to take any part in the management of the school. Laid DACIIE considered that it they proceeded to the third reading of the Bill. the greatest injustice would he done to the present petitioners. He therefore opposed the third reading. The Earl of CAERNARVON also opposed the third reading. The House then div4led, when there appea-ed— For the third reading... 16 i Against it ... 2 2 I Majority". 6 The Bill was therefore lost. Several other petitions were then presented. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition from Hillsborough, against an increase of taxation in Ire land. The Noble Marquis expressed his satisfaction at bearing that the measures agAinst which the petitioners cotnplaineti were now withdrawn by his Majesty's Govern ment. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY considered that the course taken by his Majesty's Ministers with respect to the withdrawal of the measures was wise and salutary. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be was not our. prised that those measures had been now abandoned, but be was surprised that they had not been abandoned long ago.—(Hear.)—He always considered it an unwise step to attempt to increase a falling revenue on a particular article by increasing the duty on it. The E trl of DARNLEY heard with great satisfaction the intention of Government on this subject, and was per suaded that it was the best course to adopt. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIHE presented a similar petition from the town of Belfast. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIIIE presented the report of the Select Committee on the Irish flog Drainage Bill, which was ordered to lie on the table. The Duke of RICHMOND pre4ented'a petition from Bristol, against the punishment of death for forgery. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented another to the same effect. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from several Catholic families in Dungarven, against bving.forc e d to contribUte to the building of Protestant places of worship. They were all ordered to lie on the table. 'Illy; KINGS ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought down the answer of his Majesty to the Address of that House. Thu Noble Earl then read the answer as Wawa : . ._.._.._ . _ Wittisw " I receive with satisfaction this dutiful and afThclionate ad. dress. " The testimony which it atibrds of your sense of the loss Which you and the country have sustained by the death of the late King, and of your respect and regard for his memory, is highly grati fying to me. " I return you my thanks for the 'expressions of your confi dence in me; and I assure you that I feel that I shall best deserve your support by my effbrts, under the favour of Divine Provi dence, to maintain the reformed religion established by law, and to protect the rights and liberties of all classes of my subjects. " W. It." FORGERY BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY wished, before the House went into Committee on the Forgery Bill, to ask the Nut* Lord by whom it was introduced why Scotland ;mil lrehtmi were to be excepted from its provisions? The sister king. ilom possessed other advantages, in which their fellow sub jects in this country chi' not participate. They hada ppfir currency, which was not attended with any inconvenience; they had cheap whisky; and now they were to enjoy the additional privilege of being exempted.from this Bill. lie thong* . it of importance, however, that the law shnuld he uniform in the three countries; otherwise they would lie placed'in this anomalous eltuation—that the same crime would be punishable with death on the one aide of tlie Tweak and wits transportation on the other. lie wished to know from the Noble Merquis whether, in case the pre sent Bill-whotild pass, it would hot be possible to introdude other Bills immediately, of the same eireet, with regard to Scotland and Ireland. yea's. The Martinis or I.ANSDOWNE Said, that though he had introduced the Bill into that Iltiuse, he was nut, of course, answerable fur its strhchire, as it bad emanated (torsi the other House of Parliament. The Bill did exclude Rcotland and Ireland, as the Noble Lord had stated ; hut it arose frotk an apprebrinion , tif technical difficulties, arising from the different state of the law in those coun tries. It.was; hevicver, ,the intentio n , if the present Bill should pass, . to - follotvit with inhere applicable to Iro land and(Sootlasidots the-Noble Lord suggested. The Duke of WELLINGTON said a f ew wort i at in it low tone of voice, by which we understood him to mate that the anomaly alluded to by the Noble Earl Wadi" he guarded against in ease the till should pass. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed that, if Oiert. • , . were no technical difficulties in the way, the dame exrept• ing Ireland and Scotland might be erased from the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The clauses of which lie intended to propose the alteration to their Lordships were those which referred to negotiable securities and to the transfer of stock, with all the instruments connected therewith. It wee his object to propose that with resp ec t to these two heads the la w s h ou ld be su ff ered to retnain as it now wits. He had several objections, in point of form, to make to the Bill as it now stood, but he should reserve them at present, till their Lordships had decided on the principle of the Bill. Previous to the reign of Elizabeth. the punishment of death had never been attached to the crime of forgery; but in the course of that reign an Act was passed by which pillory, fine, and mutilation were inflicted for the first offence, and fur the second, death was ler the first time instituted as a punishment in this case. Thus the law continued to stand till the period of the revolution, and then the punishment of death was definitively enacted. In the reign of George H. a law was passed, by which the punishment of d eat h w as ext e nd e d to various degrees of the crime; stud since then the number of the Acts had bee nne so numerous that in my attempts had been made to conso lidate them, and likewise to alleviate the punishment where it was deemed practicable. At last his Right Honourable Friend (Sir Robert Peel) bad undertaken the office, and he would take upon himself to say that he had accom plished his task in a most masterly manner. His Right Hon. Friend had used great inquiry, diligence, and perse. verance, and he hail conic at last to the resolution which led to the original Bill, as it was fitst introduced into the House of Commons. Thatrßill bad been introduced in that form, because his Right lion. Friend was satisfied that they ought not to exempt from the punishment of death, the forgery of negotiable securities, or of such in. torments as are connected with the transfer of stock. For himself he would also say, that he had been satisfied with those reasons which had had weight with his Right Hon. Friend. He did not intend to enter into the question of whether the Legisleture had the right to inflict the punish ment of death for the prot.ction of property, because he was satisfied, that with the exception of an individual here arid there, that principle was universally admitted. Those who argued against the punishment of death in this in stance, however, did it on the ground that the severity of the law defeated its own object; till/ likewise urged, that prosecutors an:l witnesses were unwilling to come forward, and that Juries, end even Judges, frit a difficulty in the strict discharge ef their duty. He would enter into the discussion of all these points, and in so doing, he thought that be could not do better than take what oc curred in the metropolis as his standard. Almost all the payments in Landaus were made through the medium of bunking houses, Fur the returns which were on the talde of Parliament, it appeared that with respect 'to only 20 of those bunking house., their moues transactions in three days, during the last month, amounted to nearly nine millions. Four of those banking houses in the entitle of ono year did business to the amount of 500 mil lions, and the 20 banking houses (to which he bad already alluded) to the amount of more than 1,000 millions. With ell this amount of business, he begged their Lordships to observe, that during the first four menthe of the present year, the amount of forgeries on these bankers did not amour tto more than 6851. He thought that this fact was enough to show that the law was abundantly sufficient to protect such property, as it now stood ; he therefore warned the House to be careful how it speculatively resolved to alter an effective law, on the ground of producing a better, which, after all, might be 11 none., The next point that was urged against the law, as it now stood, was, that it deterred prosecutors from coining forward. He believed that a general reluctance on this point prevailed ,on all capital (silences, and not more With respect to forgery than any other. If he understood the matter rightly, the relue tance evinced by prosecutors partook of a mixed feeling; in the first place there was no persnnal udvantage to be attained from prosecuting, while on the other band great personal trouble and expence were incurred. All these things then served to deter a prosecutor ; but when asked, it was of mum much more grateful to his self-comple cency to attribute his reluctance to a feeling of humanity, than to the whole mixture of sensation that were at work i n hi s mind.—(Hear, hear.)—With respect to Juries, it could not he denied that they were always reluctant to convict in crises of capital crimes; but he did not believe that this was more the case with forgery than any other. In the course of his legal experience h e h a d witnessed many ' trials for all (torte of capital offences, and he had never found a Jury snore backward in convictions for forgery than for any other offence that was subject to an equal punishment. There certainly was a difference between ' the amount of acquittals in capital eases and in others, but it was not an great as some were willing to make them believe. His Right Hon. Friend had taken the average results of several capital offences—murder, bur ' glary, house-breaking, horse-startling, sheep-stealing, and those offences which were usually designated as under Lord Ellenborough's Act. Accurate returns with respect to all these had been obtained, and the result was, that it appeared that there were two con victione for one acquittal. How did these stemd when compared with forgery ? Why the same emirate returns had been obtained on that head, and the result gave as nearly as possible the, manse proportion. With re spect to misdemeanours, upon the same calculations, it appeared that the acquittals there were only in the pro portion of one-fourth ; which bore out the general state ment that ho had made. Having made these remarks, he would venture to ask their Lordships whether there was anything in the arguments of those who would abolish this punishment of death, and whether they . could safely proceed to adopt that proposition ? But another point for which the supporters of the alteration took credit was, that they proposed a still more effec tual phnishment in the place of that of death, and that tine effect of severe imprisonment ought to he snore dreadful to the feelings of a man capable of weigh ing the consequences. But, as it appeared to him, jug the reverse of this was the case ; the dread of death war a universal feeling of our nature; and as to all , other punishments, though they might really be more dreadful than that of death, yet they required thought, and au effort of the mind to perceive the point, and he therefore thought it unwise to get rid of this instinctive feeling in the mind of tnan..—(Hear, hear.)—With respect to the manner in which the cheques on bankers were managed, Ice begged their Lordships to`observe, that out of the pont sum Which he had already stated, two-thirds passed in the shape of cheques. But such was the skill of thois who undertook to forge these cheques, that it required the minutest investigation to discover the fraud, while, on the oilier hand, every one was so jealous of his credit, that for the banker's clerk to survey each cheque with a scru tinizing eye would be interpreted into a hint of the soh vency of the drawer. The finger, besides, was . Always too wary to present, the cheque himself; an innocent per sou WAS employed for that purpose, and sent at those hours when the banking.house wits most busy : if there was any de* in the return of his messenger, the crimi nal absconded on the instant ; on the contrary, if he sari his messenger quit the banking-house speedily, and unites companied by any one, he met him, received the n o tes, converted them into bullion, and in a few hours was on his way to quit the country. All this.presented a system open to extraordinary facilities ; and he therefore **ken their Lordships whether it was not their duty to restrain the crime by the severest penalties; and be would ven ture to say that none could be morn , operative, or Or better effect than tloat which now existed according to the present law of the land. If th ey got rid . of the punishment of death, th ere was no adequxte terror in any other puniahment. Tranaportation, for Listener), was by the very advocates of this immure admitted to be inadmissible. Tine next punishment was imprison meta. Imprisontnent for any great length of time was.. alien to the inhabitants of this country. But by this Bill was : proposed to establish: an imprisonmeot for foul Weir, He was well persuaded that if any one was lid isonel.for that term, after five or six years the table of !aliment would be crowded with petitions in Ida favour, and complaining of the cruelty of the proceeding. But it, was said that hard lebou: could he added ; Inc denies! that it could effectually be added with respect to the deeeriptiop of persons who usually committed forgery. The only 114 labour that was efficient in this country was that art the hulks; and the consequence of exporting such persette to that sort of labour would bit equal to reprieving them: for a time in order that they might suffer slower dent But there . another point t o w hi c h he be.ggeil their Lordships' attention. If the new putsteltoml potted was 'more efficient, that of death was noregeat lose e ffi cient ; a n d, if se, Ito wanted to know whyjbo rot gery of Will s was still to be left to the less efficient p9rii!4r-„, ment only—via. that of death.--(Bear, hear.) -e-The example of other countries had been ched. He did not know much about what those example* Were worth ; but at all events this he knew—that in Tuscany, where the punishment of death was altogkher abolished, the crime of forgery prevailed to a considerable extent ; but, in other respects, he did not see how the principles of other coun tries on this point could be Applied.to this, as the system upon which tie limey transactions of this country were conducted was very different to that of other nations They had likewise been called on to consider that this Bill had passed through the other House, and that, in consequence, a considerable degree ,of excitement must prevail in the country on the subject.— This point had certainly given rise to some doubt in his mind as to the course which he ought to pursue; but after the best consideration that be had been able to give it, he had fallen back to his former conclu sions, in the belief that it would be better to expunge the amendments which had been introduced in the other House, so that if the Bid, when pawl into an Act in its original shape, was found to act well, they would then be able to consider whether it would be advisable to ex'cnd its provision' any further. Besides which, they bad a right to consider that the number of Members who voted on that occasion did not amount to more then half the whole number of the Members, and even then they hod only carried it by the narrow majority of 13 ; in addineu to this too, they had ta oppose to it the decision of the same House in 1821, On which occasion the principle which be was advocating was carried by a majority of 109 to 102. It was said, that this decision of the Lower House would weigh on the minds of Juries and Judges. He did not, however, apprehend this effect at all, for, from all he had seen of Juries, lie had always found them con scientious and faithful administrators of the law. If this was the case with the Juries, still more was it so with the Judges, whose principle always was to look neither to the right nor the left, but to administer justice impartially to all. These shortly were the reasons for taking the course he bad announced, and it now remained with their Lordships to say, whether they were prepared to adopt the amendment which he had recommended. The question having been put upon the omissions pro posed by the Loan CHA NCR LLO R, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Noble and Learned Lord, in stating the security afforded by ca pital punishments in the case of negotiable securities, ap peared unable to say how much of the security against forgery depended on that particular chance of the punish ment of death bring inflicted, and how much upon the precautions which bankers themselves had been able to adopt. If the Noble and Learned Lord admitted—and to some extent, after the statements made upon unques tionable authority, he must admit—that a certain portion of impunity for the offence of forgery was derived from the state of the law, which produced a disinclination in in jured parties to proceed, he admitted the existence of a great evil, and one calling for legislative interference. Notwithstanding the Noble and Learned Lord's statement, he believed that nota few cases might be quoted in which Judges and Juries, acting under the operation of that fill ing which rose above the law, had been deterred from the execution of what he might admit to be their duty. The Noble and Learned Lord had omitted to consider that It was on the indisposition of prosecutors that the difficulty of cerrying the law into effect depended ; and that if you wished to have a law executed, you must render it one which should correspond with the feelings and sense of right of those who must become the necessary instruments of its execution. If it appeared that the proportion of convictions was different in capital and minor cases, it was impossible to account for the inferior number of con viction* iu the former, unless we supposed such charges to be brought forward on weaker evidence than that by which minor cases were substantiated—an impossible supposition —or admitted that there existed a greater reluctener to carry the law into execution—divide it Its you might, among Judges, Counsel, Prosecutors, or Jurors—in the one case than the other. The Noble Alerquie proceeded to refer to the testimony of Mr. Harmer, given before is Committee of the House of Cont emns in 1819, on this subject, and observed, that the re suit of this evidence was, that many were led to the cote. mission of crime, under the belief that prosecutors would not take steps to punish them when it was possible that a capital penalty might be inflicted. Mr. thinner Mao stated, that persons who had commenced proceeding*, finding the punishment to be death, anti yielding to the natural feelings of human nature, frequently applied to be allowed to withdraw front prosecuting, and in cases in which it was impracticable to du so even went the length of tampering with their own witnesses in order to prevent convictions. Feeling a degree of anxiety,to know whether Mr. Harmer still continued to entertain the same opinions on the subject, after ten years' additional experience, he had communicated with that gentleman, who forwarded hint a statement in which it was declared that the expo. rieuce of ten years, so far from shaking, had confirmed his previously conceived opinions. Mr. Hamer observed that it was a mutter of common occurrence for prosecutors and witnesses to resort to stratagems to favour the escape of 4 felon; and in Oilier to effect this object,-they fre quently suppressed facts, or coloured circumstances. Ife also stated that he had known prosecutors to pay the amount of their own recognisances and that of the wit nesses, rather than persist in a capital charge. Mr. Har mer was of opinion, that the prosecutions for forgeries of bills of exchange did not equal the number of compro mises ; that convictions were considered uncertain from the known feelings of juries and witnesses; and that if the punishment were less severe, there would he more prosecutions and convictions, and fewer compromises. He added, that he could not calculate within cute hundred the number of compromises which had taken place within his own knowledge, and referred to the case of a Judge who had taken a great deal of, trouble to get up a bill, forged by a very worth hats, person, whom he had known tut a schoolboy, because the punishment was death; whereas, had the penalty been transportation, he would have allowed the law to take its course. Ile (Lord Lansdowne) should consider it a beneficial consequence of the Bill, if Noble Lords would turn their attention to secondary punishments, so es to substitute for the present penalties of thetdeserin• tion, som e thin g th a t s h ou ld h ave greater terrors, and be more effectual (or the prevention of crime, than trans portation. ire had thought.of proposing, a: ptetioluneuts for forgery, confinement in England, under a Bermuda*, course of manegement, or t rans p o rtation to the Bermudas, where there existed means of more certain lad severe punishment than elsewhere. The Noble Marquis pro ceeded to advert to the state of the law as affecting forgery in foreign coeutries, and observed with respect to Tuscany, which had been mentioned by the Noble and Learned Lord, that it was that state in Italy in which capital pu nishments wane the least. frequently inflicted, and yet where capital offences the least abounded. In Tuscany, too, .previous to cepitel punishments being dintinithed, offences were more freq u ent then at present; to that, if any conclusion were to be drawn front the state of Tus cany, it was, diet the rarity of capital penalties tended to diminish crime. Ins 110 part of the world was forgery leis frequeut then in the Ueited States, in which, with the ex- Option of one state, where executions for forgery occur red now end then, capital penalties hart been completely done away with, and imprisonintete for periods varying between seven and twelve years st as subatituteil for them ; itnpritionment, partly consisting of solitary confinement and partly of bard labour. All experience was in favour of trying the measure es an experiment, and it was only as an eXpeeitnent that ho proposed it. Something had been said as if it were an inconsistency to except the cam of forgery of wills, but he apprehended that the principle on which this had been done was perfectly juetitiable. The okieution to capital punishmetata for forgery tested on the ilisinclittation of parties to prosecute in ordinary cases, but such was the infamy and horror of forgeries of wills, that the objection did not exist. and the law would not frail to be enforced on eccount of its severity.

Lord WYNFORD craved their Lordships' permission to address them sitting, as indisposition had rendered him unable to stand without seppote The Noble Lord pi 0.- ceeded to speak from his seat, on one of the crosa-bencloN, but In so low a tone of voice as to be frequently inaudit,h• below the bar. He observed, that the tear of death ope rated on minds which were insensible to degradation, awl quoted are great increase which had taken place in rt e crime of stealing privately from the person, since the cid tal penalty had been !vitiated. With respect to that offAo u the possibility of a capital punishment, although aelih•to or never enfatesid i had a tendency to check A crime, whiult, When the Capital penalty was repealed, increased a bundti d tirlti. He had no doubt if capital punishments were per an end fn its cases of forgery, thrtt the offence would l • rendered of Much more frequent occurrence than at pre sent. In all his experience, he had known no instance set prosecutors tampering with their own witnesses in order to facilitate the catape of felons, and had never witness -d any reluctance on the part of Juries to convict, whet,. t'tere existed no rcasonablc grounds of doubt. As to Judges, he hoped they were as humane as other men. lb• was certain they were, and knew t h at no part of: thole duty gave them more pain than that part "H it which Iva , connected with the infliction of capital punishOeMs b u t at the tame time, he did not believe or,egettemp! possibility of any Judge baring ever conscience for a single momrtzt io ttut on account of the auppokfi aceerif had been made to the awe of ot was no argument from that, for ivha adapted to the circumstanc es o f one ease of country might be entirely unsuitable lord to. Noble Marquis had admitted that secondary pima:Smut/pc, as at present conducted, were extremely insufficient. pee this he cordially concurred with the Noble Lord, who, i 4, 4* ...e trusted, would bring his great talent:lto bear o th "objet with a view to remedy the defect. If any loan could de vise secondary punishments calculated to prevent crime, ti .e Noble Magna was that individual, but it would be bet tar to continue capital penalties till such substitutes loft) been discovered. They were at present discussing the proposition with respect to negotiable securities ; Noble and Learned Lord on the ‘Vdohluck also pr., posed to continue the punishment of death it; cases of fur. gery connected with the transfer of stak. Whatever doubts he might have entertained as to other parts of the subject, he had none with respect to the transfer 'of stark when he considered the immense amount of propmtV vested in that species of security, and the danger of en couraging depredations upon it by a mitigation of punish ment. He had come down to the House without hiving made up his mind as to the way in which he should vote ; but after having listened with attention to the arguments of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, as well as to those of the Noble Marquis, his decided opinion was, that the amendment. proposed by the Noble mid Learned Lord ought to he adopted. Lord TENTERDEN said, the most painfli pin of his duty was that connected with the trial of individtica charged with the commission of capital offences, and toe should be far from lamenting any alteration in the 1 a which, consistently with the public good, should dimini.h the frequency of capit it penalties; but be *a Wood, ,ae Member of their Lordships' House, to state hie honest opinion upon the subject, which weir, that we cordd not, without great danger, take away the punishment of death in those cases of forgery in which it wee proposed by 04 alterations made in the Dill in the other House of Pat r i went to abolish it. He did not think, from his own ex- 1 perience, that individuals were less willing to prtmeente i i cases of forgery than in other Met When it was ter, leckd how many thousands, and tens of thousands, might ~., be ahstracted from individuals by a deep-laid scheme' o' 1 forgery, it appeared to him th a t thi s c rim e ou g ht to t , •q visited with the utmost extent of punishment which th , law allowed. lie bed never observed, in the ell : C of pro secutions for this crime, any racrifice of conscience by ''. f prosecutors, in consequence of their own private feelings: and he might add, that he never knew juries take en, other course than that which their duties prescribed t. , them. It was equally absurd to suppose that the Judge would step beyond the bound', of his duty in placing ti a. evidence before the jury for their consideration. Wl,s . should he give any opinion more favourable than the ea.). dense won'd warrant, when the Judge well knew that 11 I was in Inc own power, at the proper time, if the eirctim lki stances of the ease were favourable, to recommend the ei- fender to mercy ? t , The Earl of ELIJON considered this to be a most im. portant subject. Ile had attended to the execution of tl criminal law of this country, during the whole of his pro fessional life, for upwards of fifty years, even before he h of the honour of being a common law judge.
