The Meuse ; but he night IA 211w:it'll- terairtss the House for himself, upon the matter urged against him as aggravation, for upon that he had not been heard. .--The Honourable Gentleman stated, that the ab. sence of this man was a crime—that he admit. ted ; 'and-he thought upon the evidence, that the absence must be taken to be wilful. The Honour. able Gentleman seemed to take this matter up on behalf of some of the parties : he had no know. ledge of that sort : he knew nothing of the case further, than as it appeared from the evidence on the Table. But the Hon. Gentleman, took a more aftive part, and seemed to speak from further information, and to say there were others to be implicated in this matter if further inquired into. He then said, that if this man should at any time petition the House to be released, that he should move another inquiry. Now that would he going farther than he thought the Hon. Gentleman ought to go. However, if the Pris oner Was brought up and heard, Mr. BKAGGE said his purpose would be answered. M. TIERNEY said he did not see what advan tao this man could have by being heard at the Bar 4 , 5 ,f . th e House, if-he was not allowed to give evi, °en& ; for how, without evidence, could he h o p e to alter the feeling of the House upon the case ? He had no objc(lion to evidence being given in be. half of this unfortunate man, for it was not punish. tqcnt on him that wat his main object, he wanted to develope the scene. He had been considered by the tight Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, as if he was Some agent of the parties in this business ; he was tto such charafteras—He'eertainly did hear', faantSir,, IOHN HENDERSON the nature of this MSC hha he new no reason whatever why a Member of Par. !lament should not hear the ease of a party aggriev. ed who came to the House to . ask redress ; as a Member of Parliamen the addressed the House on such a ease.—As to taking an alive part either one way or other, he saw no impropriety in that, so that a man followed the conviction of his own mind.— He denied that he took upon himself this matter as an Agent of a Party. The Right flat. Gentleman ought to recoiled, that none of this matter of aggra vation was recommended at first by him, for the course which he advised was, that the House ought to proceed immediately upon the report of the Coin. mittee, which course, had the House taken it, would have saved all the trouble which must now be taken. Under these impressions, he could not help feeling a little sore under the idea of being called upon in this manner ; he should repeat, that he had reason to be perfettly convinced that if this matter was followed up, certain foul proceedings would appear, and fads would come out against some very high persons ; and he thought that. instead of accusing him of going further than he ought, some parties aught to thank him for his lenity. Mr. BIAGGE saw no reason why the Hon. tritleman should feel sore at any thing that was cad; there was nothing intended to hurt him : if he knew of any underhand proceeding in this busi. tress, he might make it the subject of a substantive motion ; all that was said upon that by him was, that the Hon. Gentleman seemed to have some in. formation from one of the parties inthis proceeding. Mr. Baacca retained his opinion that Trotter ought tin be heard upon the subjed-matter of the aggravation of his case, because upon that matter be had not been heard at all ; but that he could call no witnesses. Mr. SHERIDAN differed from both the Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken on the subjeCt, both on the former day, and the present occasion, for he thought that the matter ought now to be concluded. The prisoner could have no more to say, for he had been heard already, and his crime stood established, and was even admitted by himself. But as to evidence being given on the part of this man's .ac. tuner, what would that be but trying this cause over again ; and, perhaps, implicating parties who have not had an opportunity of being heard, and perhaps too, upon charges of a very serious nature ? This would be bringing forward again the whole case of the Elation, which had been already de cided by the Committee, and would be superseding the authority of Mr. GRENV I wt's Bill. Mr. FRANKLAND thought that the proposed Inquiry would not incroach upon the provisions of r. GREtiv 'lA's Bill, because this was not an been i nto the mer i ts o f t he. Election, which had been settled by the Committee, and whose decision W as not to be reviewed by the House ; but it was an in quiry into collateral matter, which the provi. sions of Mr. GR ENV I L L E'S Bill did not touch, and in which the `House was at liberty to proceed ac. cording to its usage, as if Mr. GRENVILLE'S Bill had never past. The question Was then put, that the said James Trotter, for his said offence, he committed to His Majesty's jail of Newgate.—Ordered nem. toe. rant the SPEAKER do issue his warrant accor dingly.—Ordered. 114;.. W ALL ACE, after adverting to a notice given by the CtiAticEr.toit of the EXCFIEQUiIIt., TlOVirabSCllt, of his intention to propose Iv further arrangement of the BanottofCommittees i said, that he was authorized by his Hon. Friend to say, that hewould bring that matter forward to,morrow. Mr. CoRRY moved the Order of the Day. for the House going into a Committee on the Irishite. venue Atls. The Order being read, Mr. CURRY moved, that the several Atli •of ?Alamein upon the sub. ied should be referred to the said Committee.—Or. Jered. The House aving resolved itself iota a COM. mittee, 14 r , CORRY said, he should trouble the C6m. rnt'ttetvVith. but a very few words bef o re, he moved " elt6 sohitions which he meant to submit to the (:ommittee. The °Neil of his present motion was to induce the . Committee to come to a Resolution p,t the continuance of the Irish Ilities,• as they stood by the last subsisting Irish Ads, for the space of one -year, with Out any alteration what. ever ' This being ; the case, he should now prOpose th e Resolutions one by one, after:stating that there were certain regtilations which appeared to him to be necessary, as far as they related to the colle&ion °I the R..!venties in additibn to - the A4t as they now stood, But as it was his wish to give to-those Gentlemen who wished to.stay attention to this sulbjel, as diti n et a view. of it as possible, he shintid nnw emtent himself with moving the conlinuiq, of the Ads in 'tfuestiou, without any amet.dotent whatever ; but atter the resolutions were adopted, he should propose, at a future period, to bring f,r. ward some regulations respelling the colleftion or the Revenue of Ireland. Having made the,r ob servations, he concluded with moving a string of Resolutions, the objeft of which was to contt..ue the Irish Duties as they stood by the Irish As.ts. of the year 1800. . _ The Resolutions were agreed to, and the Report was or dered to be received to-morrow. A Message was received from the Lords stating that they had agreed to the Greenland Fishery Bill, the Clergy Rcsi. dence Bill, and several other Bills. Sir !AMES SAUMAREZ'S Annuity Bill, and the Exchequer Bills Bill were read a third time and passed. Mr. Co RRY presented a Petition from the Trustees of the Irish Lying-in-Hospital, praying for leave to present a Peti tion for the purpose of obtaining a Parliamentary ail—Leave was given, and Mr. CORRY presented the Petition, which was ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. CORR Y gave notice that he should on Wednesday, in the Committee of Supply, move a grant in pursuance of the said Petition. Mr. Coxav presented a further Petition from the Co-: vernors of the' Dublin Female Orphan House, praying for. Parliamentary aid.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. CORRY moved, That there be laid before the House an' Estimate of the Expences of the Feitiale Orphan House fie one year, from the sth ►anuary 1803, to the sth lanuary 404, for the support of 140 Children.—Ordercd. Mr. COR.RY afterwards presented the Estimate, which was ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. Cox RY also moved for an Estimate of the Expences of the Dublin Society, for discouraging vice, &c. —Oniered. Mt. COARY said he should, on Wednesday next, move i; the Committee of Supply certain Resolutions h Kirsuanci of these Estimates.
