They - were 'read, andlaid on the table. . • • CRIMINAL CODE. Lord SUFFIELD .presented . a .Petition from seventy-six indiyiduids, who had 'served 'aS Juthis in the last Old Bailey Sessions, praying that the Criminal Code might be softened, in order that jurors might.de their duty with more satisfaction to their own .consciences than .under the present system. His Lordship expatited on the necessity of such a change. The punishments inflicted by. the Criminal Code were so severe; that in many cases jurors preferred committing perjury to ex posing individuals to their violence. , The Marquis of LANSDOWNE' requested their Lordships to consider how deeply the case demanded their serious atten tion; when individuals who hid been exercising the important functions of jurors, came to that House with a solemn decla ration of the difficulties with which..they could conscientiously discharge their duties,. and of their abhorrence of the laws as they now stood'. This feeling was not continedto them alone.. It extended through . the community. In a short time their Lordships might be called upon by measures from the other House, to consider the subject of Prison Discipline, and other branches, which, he trusted, they would regard as but parts of one general system of alteration. If the Bill which had for some time engaged the attention of Government to regulate the discipline of prisons; had the effect which was intended, that of deterring offenders more effectually from the commission of guilt, it 'might • induce their Lordships to -remit, in some in: stances, 'the, apparent severity of the criminal code, and to render it more congenial to the feelings of the people.—The Petition was then laid on the table. . LOrd ELI4ENBOROUGH gave notice that on Friday week he should mpve the second reading of the .larriage Act Amend ment Bill. Lord DACRE hoped the Noble Lord would fix upon an other day, as he had informed a Reverend Prelate (the Bishop of Peterborough), that he should present on that day a petition from an individual complaining of rejection on his gait, and that. Rev. P - felate had promised to attend in his place. The subject.might occupy a considerable time, and the two notices Would thus interfere with each other. The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not think that would be the case, as however be might disapprove of the Marriage Act An - ienchbent Bill, it was not one to the committing of which he should object.—The notice was then entered for. Friday se'nnight. . IRELAND. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that on Mon day, the 7th of June, he should propose to the House a Itesp lution on the subject of Ireland. He should therefore move that their Lordships be summoned for that day.—Agreed to, after a few words from the Earl of DARNI.tY. Earl GROSVENOR presented a Petition from the rnhabi tants of Shaftesbury and its vicinity, praying for the Revision of the Criminal 'Code ; and one from the Owners of Land in the County of Somerset, for Agricultural Relief.;--Laid on the" table. - Lord SUFFIELD presented a similar 'Petition from thq Hundred of ShiPton, in the County of Norfolk.—Laid on the table. CATHOLIC PEERS' BILL. The Duke of PORTLAND, in consequence of a domestic calamity which had befallen a Noble Earl who had 41 , kays taken a distinguished part in the debates on the Catholic ques tion, wished to postpone the second reading of the Catholic Peers' Bill; of which he had c-iven notice for to-morrow. At present, he could not exactly say on what day he should bring the subject forward, as it was impossible to know when the Noble Earl in question would be able to attend.-L But he should take the earliest opportunity of mentioning a• day to the House. The Noble Duke then-moved that his no tice be discharged. Lord RoLiz hoped that as Early a day as possible should be fixed, as - there weressev'erat Irish • Peers who-had'corne over FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1822. on purpose to be present at this discussion. and who' were de sirous of promptly returning to- their coun'ry on account of its .present state. The Duke of ATHOL objected to the notice being with drawn.' All he had been able to collect of the ground's on' which the Motion was Made' was, that some individual would not be able:to-niorrow.to attend. the House ; but he would not suffer courtesy to be balanced with the importance of with drawing a notice; when the question was one which affected their Lordships', privileges in a way hitherto unprecedented '; which broke one of the articles of the Lnion,, and removed the corner stone'on-,Which that Union rested. When he saw the petitions on their Lordships' table, he could 'not consent .to keep the country in > a state of prolonged. anxiety on such a case as this. There were means by winch Noble Peers might give their votes without attending . in their places.— Though he should not object to a short' postponement till Monday or Tuesday next, yet, if it were demanded for a longer time, he should take the sense of tie House upon the subject. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that nothing was more usual and constitutional than the course proposed by the Noble Duke who wished to postpone his notice. He would beg to observe to the Noble Duke on the cross seats (the Duke of Athol), and to call' to his recollection:that if he were to divide the House, and to prevent the notice from: being dis charged, lie could not force the ,Mottle Duke (the,Duke of Port land); to'tirove the Order of the Dayttl-morroV:' his triumph, therefore, would be' nugatory.' There was no necessity for hurrying a-question like that which- formed the :object of the Bill, with so much rapidity. It was said to involve a breach of the piivileges of their Lordships ; if 'so, why had not the Noble Duke opposed' the first reading'of the Bill ?—(Here the Duke of Athol was .understood to say, that he was not present at the time.)--, - -4f there had been any breach of the privileges of the House; he did not believe that those privileges would have wanted a defender . , even though the Noble Duke wa s ' a b sent . At the*.sarne time he must own that he should regret to see this measure deferred . to a period when it cou ld not be fully dis cussed, and he Would 'admit the strength of the argument with respect to the' Wish of- several Irish Peers. to return` to their.country, were there not measures depending and_ about to be introduced, from the other Housebn the subject of Ire land, 'which ought 'to engage the 'attention," and to secure the attendance oflrish Peers,. even to a later period of the session than that. to which the Catholic Bill was likely to be postponed. LotiI.ROLLE' explained. The LORD CHANCELLOR would not enter into the - merits of the Bill at present, but knew that the public mind was in' a state of great uneasiness upon the subject. He therefore should entreat the Noble Duke to mention some day,. let it be as distant as he pleased,- for which it would -be known that the question was fixed. He. was so much con vinced of the importance of preventing hesitation and anxiety on that subject, that if it .Were otherwise not brought -for- Ward . , lie himself shOuld take care that it should come on. , He dig not.mean to sak -that the 21st or the 30th of the next Month• would be too long a poStponereent, but that a day must be fixed. • The Karl of LIVERPOOL knew that the unfortunate cir cumstance which had happened made it desirable, - not only as a matter of courtesy, but as one of political utility, that the second Teadlng of the Catholic Piers' Bill should be postponed in order to secure `the benefit of the Noble Earl's (Grey) -at tendance. and abilities in the discussion of the measure. Bad it been _fore the' convenience of that Noble "Earl that the measure should 11ave' been put off, even till September, he . should haye had np objection. But it was not on that g ro u nd that the postponement was proposed,_ neither was any specific time mentioned for the , next stage of .the measure. 'l 4 he se cond 'reading havin g. be en 'lik e d . far to-Morrow; many priv a t e and public arrangements had - been , mado on -that account, yet he should not• obj ec t t o d e lay ; p ro Vid e d some d ay s h ou ld be fixed. Lord ROLLE, in order to take the sense. of the,Hotise, should move ttillt. Thursday-next.should be "the day. • june. The . Earl of LIVERPOOL suggested Friday, the 21st of . . After . some conversation ' between the Duke of .ATtior., the Loi.D othiNclt.i.oll., and the Earl of LAUDERDALE, .. The Duke of PORTLAND..Moved that. his notice be dis charged' and fixed for Friday the 21st of June: . _.. • The LORD CHANCELLOR, said,•that it must be under stood that the. Noble Duke 'would positively move the second reading. of the Bill on the 21st of - June, otherwise he should . himself take - care to bring the question under the consideration of the House.--Tlfe.inotton• was ,then agreed to. • INSURRECTION ACT. _ . The Marquis of.I 4 ANSDOWA wished to ask the Noble . Earl Opi!Osite. at' what trine the, renewal of: the Act for continuing' : the suspension of the trial by Jury in Ireland would., be proposed, as the discussion of Such measure should take pa4.,_when' 'a fa attendance of Irish Peers would be secured . . • . . The Earl of LIVERPOOL ..repliesl, that it was the inten _don of the . imiiyidual who was to introduce _the measure' in the other House, to do. it in a very short thne... As it.: was impos sible to know howleng its. discussiOn might last in that... House; the Noble Marquis would see that he cold not say exactly when it would come before their Lordships. - .The Eattot SUAFTESI3CIRY . - .presented several Petitions against the catholic Peers' Bilk tiorn the• Parish of St. james; Glasgow, Paiiley, its neighbo.UrhoOd, the Parish,of Westminster, and the Baptist Dissenters of Gower-sireit Cha pel.—Laii on the table.--r Adjourned. SUN. other, purpose. They prayed for relief •by the abolition of the duty on bark imported, and of the Excise Duty on Bark, which not only made. the article produced dear, but by limiting the, manufacture as to time prevented him from makin g good fea ther. .The. Excise Duty was, a decreasing one. In 1820 it pro duced upwards of 36,0001. in 11i21 only 34,0001: Mr. IL par.:. ticularly called'attention to the fact stated by the Petitioners, that the provision trade of Ireland was increasing, the exporta tion of cattle having taken plaCe to a great extent'.

Mr. EGERTON presented a similar petition from .the May or and -Burgesses of tongleton. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE held in - his hand two similar peti tions, and assured the House that the propiised measure had excited a considerable sensation throughout the country. He gave notice that he should: oppOse the 'clause complained of when the Bill'should be proposed to be read a third time, and would'take the sense of the House on it. Mr. LITTLETON understood that it was not likely the third reading would be pressed that, evening, as a cause, which he felt it unnecessary to state, would prevent a full attendanee of Members, and he was sure there was no individual less ca pable .of pressing forward a measure so important in a thin House than hiS Right Hon. Friend thii President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Wallace.) • - •111 r. DAVENPORT expressed his wish that the Bill should not be brou g thtforward that day. M . r.

He thought that a retrospeCtive clause ought to he introduced into the Bill whiCh the Right Honourable. Gen tlenian had brought forward for regulating the sale of roasted wheat, for the purpose of protecting persons standing in a similar situation to the Messrs. Hickson , and .he -therefore desired to know when the Right Hon. Gentleman intended to'move for the committal of that Bill.

WORTLEY presented b.- Petition from - the •Mer chants". and Woollen Manufacturers. of the- County of Y.ork, 'to. which he begged to call the attention of die. House., When the tax on wool was proposed three years ago, he had "oPposetl it, and had stated that it would.have the effect of raising the price of British..wool.- The evcntjustifiedbis prediction,-for Bri lish wool was now, a - mere drug. . Ue had iaio stated that in his opinion the tax would - operate so injuriously to the woollen 'xnarrufacturer,.. that he cauld.not 'compete - with the, foreign ma- Jiufacturer in the,foreies market. 'ln, that also had• the event, proved . his anticipations 'to 'have been well founded. He haa, •comintinications' from' Bile:.-fia and Moscow,' declaringlhat as long as the tax ion- theimpartation of for,eigilii.vrboi - Should con-. tin,ue, the woollen manufacturers of Great Britain. would be undeAold. in'thOse markets The House would recollect that in the manufacture of woollen • cloths .a certain li-ciportioli of foreign Wool. must be: used,. . Any' thing, therefore,: which tended to increase the price of foreign wool,here must. opertite against the sale of our manufactures, and Consequently to the injury•of the British wool groWer,• whose prodUce also entered into our manufactures. ft followed, therefore :naturally, that the more of foreign wool that was consumed, the more would British wool also be worked up. It was therefore h mis take to suppose that the duty on foreign wool acted henefi6ally for the British wool grower. As far as hid .understanding enabled him to judge, he was convinced that a. worse measure had never been resorted to for raising money *than' the tax on , foreign wool. - Mr: BURRELL contended, the Hon. Gent, was•in a mistake when he stated that the :British wool gibw:er and the British woollen manufacturer had suffered exactly in the same propor tionfrOm the operation of the tax. • In laying .'on that tax; the Chancellor of • the Exchequer had calculated it as likely to produce only 10;0001. ahnually ; but it would be found to have amounted to 367,2901. in the . year ending 18th De- 'cember, 1821, which proved • that the importation of foreign wool must have increased.. The - manufacturer had•enjoyed a monopoly for Many years ; and if the prayer of the petitioners came before the House in the,shape. of a-resolution, he should move as an amendment, that tha tax should .be increased 'ls. per. pound. . Mr. COKE agreed with the Hon... Member who presented the Petition in thewiew taken 'by him.. of the subject ; . and as sured the House that,,,from• the' passing of . the Act imposing the duty on foreign wool, the price of British wool had. declined year after year. He therefore trusted- the prayer of the Peti tion would be,attended to.. Mr. CURWEN. fully concurred with the Hon. Member (Mr. Burrell); but hairing remarked that the iimojortation.of foreign wool had continued to increase, .he (Mr. C.) could not tee how that ilia conld be.used as an argument to prove that the consumption of our own wool had decreased: He, for one, would rejoice in any measure that could tend to relieve the country. He knew that it was. not only by tlio importation of foreign wool . that the British wool-grower had been injured, but also by the importation of woollen rags, of.which 168 tons were annually 'imported. Thoie rags were pulled to pieces by ma= chiriery, reduced to wool, and were then applied in the manu- PRICE SEVENP.ENGE. facture of- coarse woollens,- to the great injury 'of the wool gower of this country: would therefore recommend that, instead Of`dribriiinal ditty, one"slioUld'he'invosed 'which would give every possible protection to the British wool-grower. -- BE NETT (of WiltSbire) thought thall-in soliciting the repeal, of the duty ou the import a tion of foreigli wool, the manufacturers Ought hi "eiftial justice to haVe proposed - that the tax which operated as a prohibition to the expOrt of Thitisli wool should also be repealed. He thought it very strange that the manufacturers should seek the rePeal of the tax on foreign wool aethe precise Moment when th e a g r i cu l tur i sts o f st:he country Were labouring under such distress. He tissught tlicsalarm of the Hon. Member for Yorkshire was unfounded, that fOreigneis would be deterred froni purchasing our Manufactures while the tax remained tinrepealed. Ile felt cpthe convinced that, if the tax were taken Off, -it would not increase the Manufacture of the country ; and that the manufacturers . . of York • ought. to he silent on the subject of their distres s until , it reached to th.s. pitch at which that of the agriculturist had arriVed.' Mr. T. 'WILSON sitpuorted. the Petition. Ile contended that the produce of the Six did not ate ail prove it to be a wise or proper one.' With respect to the present price ef long wool, he did not. think•it at ail unfavourable. ROBERTSON spoke in faVotir of the'Petithm. lithe tax Were continued, it would be 'impossible for the . taish manu• facthrer to compete with foreigners. The majanfactin'es of France, which ne had an opportunity of Secing; Were as well managed as those Of LeedS. An idea pretioe - it - that the Eng lish manufactureri derived superior advantages the steam engine andthe use oinadir-x,Y141411).!eW"4. fm *ClUr from competing with their. Ths was` erroncbus notion. No new machinery of any importance, in the manufacture ofcloth; had.been invented for forty years. Steam engines and ma chinery were used in France, as Well as here. If :a; drawback was allowed, it would be of advantage to the Cloth manufacturer. Mr. S. WORTLEY said the tax was as unfavourable to the agriculturist as to the manufacturer, and it was upon that ground the petitioners prayed for, the repeal of it. - If a draw back was allowed, they would be perfectly s:atisfied. 'He would put it to ,his Majesty's Ministers, if it Wilk Worth 'While to keep up this tax. As to a free export of fine wool, it could do no good ; the only kind that would find a market on the Continent was the to wool. - • After a few words from Mr. PE.IIISE, Mr- BEszETT, and - Mr. RotsEnrsosi, thepetititin was road, aid ordered to be printed. „ SCOTCH JURIES. . 31r...113ERCROMBY presented a Petitionfrom the Bankers. :Merchants, and others - of the City of Edinburgh, in favour of the Bill for altering the mode of selecting Juries for . criminal cases in Scotland. These Petition ers stated, that they had given great coniideratitin to this subject, and it was their opi nion that the law would be mach improved by the proposes' alteration in this Bill. It was COriSidered In them more satis factory, that fifteen Jurors 'should be chosen by ballot, and named or selected by the presiding Judge,' than according to the present - mode. It would add to the confidence reposed: in Jurors, and had always bee n d one in' civil cases,andfound ...beneficial. It was to be remarkod, that these Petitioners wens of the class of persons among whom the larger portion of Jurors for. Civil and Criminal *cases were - chosen. These Petitioner's ' comprehended 'the'Principal Bankers, the princiPal Merchants, and most opulent Shopkeepers in' Etlinburgh, inani_of whom were' as enlightened —as firm of . purPose, and as 14a1 as any class qt' subjects in the empire. Ile particularly called on tree Right Honourable Gentleman, the Secretary of State, to give the subject his most serious consideration. lie hoped the Ilightlionourable Gentleman would not be misledl4 , the mis takes of others, and he could assure him that the measure now,callcd for could not be re.sisted; with Out diminishing the respect of the people for, a nd their confidence in, thp..zdminis tration of justice. The case was a dear one—it invo l ved - no subtleties, no nice points of law, of which the Pethioners could • not be judges. It had been fully discussed in ScotFand ; all saw the evil, and concurred in calling foi the reniedy,. Thd-5.„4 . present Bill would of course be suceessfth, if favoured - by die - . Right'Hon: Gentleman and his colleagues, hitt whatever might be its fate now, he was confident that, sooner or later, the race. sure must be carried. Mr._ PEEL was unwilling to be considered as regarding this subject 'With indifference. He considered it to he his duty to give it fair and _impartial attention, nor .would he,stiffer the -ideas of others (if these appeared to be 'erroneous) to'have any influence on his conduct. It was for him to inquire whether the Judges in Scotland ought to retain their present ji6wer or not,- and whether or not the mode of administering justice in Scotland ought to be changed. Nor could he limit Ills view Of . the subject* to the consideration of the particul a r amend ment which hid been proposed—he Most compare the advan tages enjoyed. in Scotland with . these Which greW Ont of th e system acted upon in • England. 1-16 must 'inquire* what was the effect of the mode . .preterred in Scotland—whether - it was_ Satisfactory or not—whether injustice was sustained-under it or . . ,not—and whether the criminal law'efSe:otland,•as it.new ex isted, ought under all circumstances to continue. If he found that a variety of advantages were enjoyed 7 tinder it, _and that the system worked practically well, he should be slow to aban don it, to'adopt .. any theoretical improvement, however favour able he might be to the principle of such improvement. If the mode of selecting Jurors might-be . advanta.ge,ouslychanged in Edinbiligh, he *as by no means convinced that such a change 'of system could ; hrenerally 'adopted in 'Scotland with advan tage. -He, however, repeated the assertion, that he'Wbuld give the subject fair and impartial consideration- _ --• Mr. KENNEDY begged to ask the Learned Lord 'opposite, if the rpmour was true that he was •ahout to leave London ; . to perform a public duty elsewhere ? He - put this question new, because a subject was to come under the -consideration of the House on Monday, which had already been repeatedly post poned, but which he was unwilling to postpone longer • . and if the runimfr he bad alluded - to was true ; • - he - felt •ft lilsduty to bring it forward in the absence of-the Learned- Lord. The LORD ADVOCATE briefly_ answered the question, but was not' istinctly heard in the gallery. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. -.IIIr.'•COKE presented a..

LETHBRIDQE presented a petition from Mr. Jo seph Pinsent, praying for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the comparative value of all. British interests, with. a .view of ascertaining to what degree of attention each was 'entitled. The Hon. Baronet had considered the petitioner had a right to have his petition laid on she.table of the House, and as he made - the Agricultural interest the basis of all the, other interests—the source fitn. which all must be - enriched—the -hinge on which every thing must turn, he thoUght his principle sound - and • wished- it to be fairly discussed.
