She stated, that .she was a't present in the above capacity with Mrs, Crewe, and had been for abput five years and a half, at the various places, io 'number above twenty, at 'which her mistress had resided tvithin this period; and gave a very minute detail of every thing that passed to her knowledge respediog - theintercourse betweenlierruiStress, anti Sir Harry Englefield, the far greater part of which she gave on her Ifltner examipatioo. Many of the parlicu:ars she stated went to induce a strong suspi.. cion of an improper intercourse having taken plate, She related the hours ',Vit., Crewe kept ) who4re quently staid out very late at night, and it. was constantly hiS pra4ice to: take the key of 4lte door to let himself in, and to order the setir4nts :riot to sit up for him. .Sir Harry Englefield mostly came' • in the-absence:of Mr, Crewe, and often staid from tea-t ine till between two and three o'clo± in the morning, • , • Tlfe strongest. circumstances which, transpired from her evidence this evening, were in oruatienee of some questions : put to the Witness by' His Royal _Highness the Dvtts OfCLA,I4.F.NCE, by which it ap eared, in orte•of Mrs. CreWeis Vi ? its to Bath from Chelteitham,..in January ,1799, that Lady and Sir -Harry Englefield made an excursion to Ciifton; in the environs of that city, where they lived three days together under feigoed name , . ; that Sir flarty had a lied-chamber over that of Crei e, latter jOint'd the driiwiro,...rootrt, - but!, that they Spent, almost the. whole'of each day loge they, and ontil 1 , .v0 Or three o'clock in the morniog,i either in the drawing.roorn Or in t h e Lady's be ~f chamber ; 'that they always sat up till allthg,,waitersi and servants of the Hotel had: retired to bed ; andt, that on looking, at the. be d easually at diffeit.or pc rlod,, she observed that it appeared.as:Viwo persons had:pressed it vely much, or had :even lain in it. —The Witness also stated, that she fretrently aerv.d , this circntrtstance with re,pect to the bedsrin ot'her places, where Crewe Harry had, bad ,freottent ~htercoorse togerhee ; ,and sluradded th it in general Mr. and Mrs, Crewe lay in separate ae..rtmelltS. • .. , .

Qn a further inquiry into the case, it, might not 'be pa si tale to doubt the commission of that 'fad", but it may remain a question, whether such fad was CQ[ll . .. mined within that period ; in which it ought to be, in order to render, either the teclesiastieal Court, or Jury secure in its decisions; and in determining this ,point, • some Minute references to ;dates and peO o ds would he necessary.. Added to these don. siderations .of doubt was, that important one of judgment havin g been . suffered to go by defa u lt ; on winch line of proceeding his Lordship spoke in. decided terms of animadversion, ,and observed, that nine out of ten of 'these were Mock iNfairu4; and in this..respeCt, with reg-ard to the case in question, he would say,. that op such evi dence as,had been given at . their Lordships' Bar, Damages to the amount of 30001. would not be ob. tainetrin an inquiry under the diredion of any one of His MajestYis Judges, With regard to. this consideration, taking it With a reference to the great' it Hof -Public Religion. and Morality, he knew not, :whether it might not'beltecessary by a regulation of TAW, to dircd th'tt an issue should be jorned on all . such *occasions.; and that in a Court,. under the dire Lion of one of the Judges, whose report would also be an additional security to the honour and rectitude of their Lordships. .proceedings In .cOneluding, the Noble and Learned Lord comment ed on the necessity ofallowing further time in order Si .consider the evidence; cfnd adverted 'to one nen t circumstance in the tase, Which rendered a strid inquiry the more necessary, namely, the apparent negligence of the retitioner's •conduet towards his wife. It would rvquire some pause, some 4.8 hours, to,enable Ler& to determine, and more pleased would he be, that .the 'result of his Own further con sideration 4 . the case should he such as 'to warrant hiM in dog that with safety which he knew must be, satir i cadory, and to a family some Of . whose inembe.t:S were really respidable. He then moved 111.4 the further Consideration of the Bill be-ad. joined to Monday next." ...On the Question being:put, The. DUKE of CL4RENCE . rose, and express ed hiseancurience in the greater part of what had fallen front the Noble and Learned Lord, for whose opinions he had the highest resped. What had 1,11,:it from hint that night would, as it properly should, go forth to the Public, and prOve, he'trusted, a 'salutary admonition to husbarids, as to their con jugarbehaviour. He had no objeftion to the pro., posed delay, as it would enable himielf to fOrm Aprp. per judgment of the case, by a perusal of the evi dence ; but he' seemed to wish that the . Bill should' meet with as little.delay .as possible, declaring hint self, in his present view of it, rather favourably of the case in question. The Quest= Was then put, an•cl . the House post_ boned The further consideration of the case accord, inglv. • On the occasion lof the second reading of the Ciergy Residence Bill, • • 'ee - ROCIIPSTFIZ t‘se; and` - expressed hh-surprize that this measure should be regarded as a matter di course, , and attempted to be carried through the 'House without the least expiniation. 'the considerations which •the • Bill involved were, in his mind, of the =St seriousiimportance. ' No person could he a warmer advoeaie for the residence, -of4he;Patocitial Clergy 'than himself ;• and he must vt,tha t the non-res idence of. many of those was disgrace to the Country.' It was politic at, the present period to enforce that tesidenee, , when: it. WaS Arnie than ever necessary. Ile wits sorry lie had. to address so. thin a I fouw on the. subjed, and to witness the perfect. (I,.'snlatiOn of tl-e Reverend Bench. The principle Of the present Bill was gene rally mi;understoo4, and it 'was to corred this er ror, and not to opPose the Bill, that lie then rose. It was imagined by, several, and not a few 'among the Cletgy, that this Bill:Went to suspend the Sta. tute of HE t.; v VIII. It was ,no. such thing : it wen/ only to stay proceedings under it for a given time. Of the Statute of HE', VIII. his Lordship did not seem to entertain a fa vourablOpi n on, prineipallY on the ground of its waist of discrimination. • He ob_ served it was-absolutely required; by the Law, that song: Clergy Men should reside in the respedive Pa_ xishes, and , her was sorry to Say there were sonic in. stances in . which this serious consideration 'was' ne gleaed ; this .was deneoftenon the ground ofstnne'rni serable insufficient extuse,' principally ,the aliedged want ofa proper P.. rsonage,HOusc,; but this ticket was emir* owing to the non.residence.- T He repeated, that the Hill did not' go to suspend the - Sratnte of Fitt:ay VIII. it merely stayed the proceedings under ir,,and at the expiration of the term set forth in the Bil 4 the Clergy would be liable to be sued aS-heteiofore. The 1,0 led CHANG itl hOR agreed with what had fitlien from the .kever:.:nd Prelate, and in liiy understanding of .the -gill, he said; it stayed the proceedings only to a partiNlar day, which was all, in the peculiar circumstances of the ease, that could with justice be done. The Nofile‘ and Learned. Lord. then •viewed,. somewhat in detail, the ieading 'pro. vision* of the Bill, al4i their effeds--and explained the natare of thein to their Loidships, He then passed to the consideration of ; the existing Law, upon which the Bill was founded; and with respect to the former, he, pointed out the hardship of its ope. ration in ;Amy cases, and which ko far argued 'in fa vour of the present Bill. He said, that in some instan ces, to his own knowledge, the application of the ex. isting Lar.Vivoidd be even cruel; in other cases it Was necessary : and he submitted, whether a Law which so set discrimination at (I:fiance, did not greatly 'want revisal. He knew of Clergymen, who were serupuloudy lAhnuring in their.. vocations night and day, who were •within the reach of the Law , yet there Were others who never once resided in their Il'Ari!,hes, and on whom, on acconnt of the slight. ness of the penalty, compared with the revenue of those incumbents, it orraecd as no punilirnent at all the Law, therefore, could' not be just. Re specting what had been said pt informers under this tuft,. he % - ioul&only observe, it was ttnjustifiable to Land thtin with obloquy. ,fer 'wh,it, the Law invited them to do. 'The evils complained' of required bgrne efficient and convelicnblve 140, scsidenc of the Parochial Clergy was mach called for in the present day, and it was for the honour of these Clergymen, he had to observe, that in those Parishes where they constantly resided, the mischievous spi rit of irreligion, political profligacy, and sedition, made the least progress ; and he hoped that such regulations would hereafter be adopted, as would, as far as the same was praaicable, insure the resi dence of the Parochial Clergy. .Lotd ALV4NLEY exprissed. concurreoce in what had fallen from the Reverend Prelate and the Noble and Learned Lord, and spoke in favour of thelfill, of which he gave same detailed exp:artations„ The. Bishop of ROCHESTER explained that he was by no means adverse to the Rill, which, .under the circumstances in which it wus introduced, be thought a wise and a good measure; but he was only anxious to have the extent of its operutions fully explained. Some routine business was then disposed of, after which their Lfirdships adjourned till to-filo:row, HOUSE OF COMMONS', FRIDAY, JUNE z 6. Mr. TRENCH complained that the Pfficeys of the Exchequer in Ireland, had shewn great negli gence in preparing ana presenting Accounts which have been ordered by the House, and intimated, that if some regulations arc not adopted to prevent similar causes of complaint -next Session, he will feel it his duty to bring.thesubje4 formally; in the shape of a Motion, before ttie Rause. Mr. CWarexpressed his regret that .the FIOn. Gentleman- should have had any cause to make the complaint which he had now made. He, hoWever, assured him,:that during ths: recess ) he would turn his .attention particularly to that subjetti, and he hoped that stleh regulations wilt be made as to sa tiify the' Honourable Gentleman, 'and ielieve him from the necessity of again mentioning the subject . to the House. In consequence of a' Message from the Lor4 desiring a Conference with the House, on the sub jt Amendments .made .by the iinuse.to the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, Mr. STEELE, Mr, I'I r ER-- NEY, the Sicitmitv ai WAR., &c. were appointed toinanage.the Conference on the part of the House. On their return, they stAted, that they had net the Lords" appointed to Manage the Conference on the part of the /louse of Lords, ,anti.4ll4 thg Lords have agreed to the two fir it Amendments made by the Hou.e to the Bill ; but their. Lordships have . disapproved of the third, on the t round that "the' present system ..91 Eit)kintir Laws .ought to : be : Stri ly maintained, and. cannot ,be produtlive of any real hardship - or inconvenience, Mr. STEE4E then' moved,'. that the House do in sist on the Amendment. This Motion was negatived, and, of course, the Amendment given up by the House. - Mr. ROBSON rose to complain, that he .ba vi ng moved for fciur different Accounts, one, of the Loans and Sub idles granted to• Foreign Powers in the course of the Wit, distinguishing the ►iate3 when they were paid ;" and the other _three, of the Pen sions payable out of the Civil Establishment - of England, Scotland, and Ireland, distiuMvely.— ',Thew Accounts had been ordered by the Houle ,to be laid "on the Table, a - i he moved them, and that yet the first had been - hid on the Table without dates r and ,that the others had been presented in such a form as to prevent him from attaining, the objet and knowledge which he wishedlo, attain. Ile concluded with movin at cr That the tsame of the persons whose duty it was to prepare and present; 'these Accounts, be laid before the House• He did! not know if this wa s t h e b est mo d e of, proceeding, but he submitted -.he Motion to thi 'House av : thei best mode he could think of for enforcing its or tiers. This object he thought called . upon the. 1 rouse, )n order to the maintenance of its own dig nity, and the assertion of its privileges: If- 4 bet ter mode for securing this object could be substi tuted for that which he _had ?reposed, he would willingly accede, to it. ' But, whatever may be the' mode, he conceived that the dried was deserving of the' uppoit of the House. The:Motion being read from the Chair, /14r, PAPITTART stated,. that, a to the first Account moved _far by the Hon. :Gentlenan, some of the Articles of it had beenlaut down in the Ac count htiti before the I louse without dates; becituse it had been found impossible, to annex the dates, from the want of documeots front which to copy them. it delays had takeh pLce in 'presenting some other Accounts moved for hy.the Hon. Gen tlenutuf he would assure him, that they did not pro eeed fr(yin negligence, but from the diltculty, or al most imposstbility; of Making - out . the Accounts as moved for. Mr. ROBSON repeated some of the rv a - traits - which be bad•befcire made, and insisted tb it thrre'muct be a emitafir, becatise tarcii nitiess sometviwre, in the disobediehe 'Which had , be. ‘sh6i."l - 1 to the oraers of th:',4‘flou3e. Mr. 3,11 ES MARTIN expressed it as his opi nion, that if Accounts or Papers ordered by the House to he laid on the Table,. are either unoeces wily delayed, or not presented as ordered; the House may as well not meet at all. The SECRETARY at WAR stated, that so far is he was concerned about any Accounts ordered to he laid on the Table .of the House, he had al ways endeavoured, and always woo d e'ndeivpur; as much to expedite the making up of such Accounts as he always had shewn, and always I,vould the utmost-readiness in the Houk. to grant anY'AC counts from the - Offiee with which heis connaled. But he thoUghi that some Gentlemin did, r.,..)cseent to he aware of the difficulty of making out sonie of the Accounts which had been ordered, isid of the necessary delay which this difficulty 'Enttst produce. The Accounts moved for by the Honourable Gentle man, certainly could not be made out without great difficulty, and he could assure-the HOuse,' that , this was the only cause why they had not all been pre sented, and why one of ti em which ,had - been pre sented wanted some of the dates of payment which had been ordered 'to be annexed. M.fierlY did not mean in what he Ira said, to refled particularly on the present Adtitinistration - bot he could not help observing, in course of Otis itt:c . ll"-dance un Parliament, that there has been a great tardiness .shewn in laying AccOunts on the Table of the House, more particle. .larly if they were 'moved for by Gentlemen inop . position, and that there - was an evident partiality in presenting, With ,much greater expedition, Ac• counts moved for by Gentlemen conneded with Ad. ministration, than in presenting thoSe Moved for by their opponents. A. partiality which , uggested to his mind the . idea,. that. the Ministry, - for the time . hying ,: %veg....01110n. thaLaecounts of a certain - nature should be laid before the anise at all, though they have not had the conruge or the effrontery 'to oppose openly, -kettle House, the.order for such Ac. counts being laid -before it.. . - . . • Mr.' jOICTS s'uppor!ed the argument of his Friend, Mi.
