He expressed his satisfaCtion at the notice taken by Noble .Lords of the subject on a former evening ; and he disapproved of such a pro ceeding on the part of the other House, after the question had been lully.diacussed, and decided in the negative by their Lordships. He thought it prefer able thA no proposition should be made in that 11/tole, iu Consequence, but that they shoultLwait until the determination or enswee of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent upon the OcoasiOn khould be known. He, for one, as a Member of hiw Majesty's Government, dr an adviser of his 11:.yat Highness, should not rectitumend to him .to sane don ur itotll , . , rtzc the grant of money for sneb aper pose, ur fat slttislyitig a chiint which their Lordships' House had dec . ! to be unfounded.

Evett .ttie ()dicers of toe Customs and the Excise had Ciprelsly stated their opinions, that, in the Case of the Revenue Laws, the severity of the punishments prescribed, evelitu it.y caused an inctease of the offences, and they recommended a reiaxtilioti,on (bat grouLd. I.le coniiequepcks of the preseut stale ,of the ,law, by dinlioishing the chances of punishment,, or even conviction, was an 'increase of the oftenct-S; and view , of the . ques: lion alouc, were th.ne no other, should be surti cteet to induce: the Legislature to modify and . relax the rigour or the law.

But this was the mere exercise ut disereiionaty power ; and he was 00 .s tiling tt, vest,' in such frequent instances, a poWer over the lives ot • their fellow-creatures, in any however high he might resped them. It eas a power which shou'd tie confided in thein, only in cases .of extreme necessity. He did not lay much stress upon what was done in these respects in despotic countries; in Russia, for initaiice, where the punishment of death was said to be abolished, because in such couieries the ik hole system of the law depeteled upon the asst or nne, or of a Very few individual , .

His Lordship concluct2d by moving the seeend.rietditig of the Bill for It peaking the Capital Penistiete.re e't the Conviction of Stealing to the-amount o.f gius. in any Deelling- house. ; - • Lord ELLE&BoitoLlaf Opposed the motion. jet opp o sing it, howtier,, he WAS* lar tront intending to impeach the motives Of the Noble Lord who so sire. nuously supported, or of . the Learned Gentleman v'ilvh li e d framed' the Bill's: No doubt both were sa tisfied in their own minds ot the soundness of tee principles on which they proceeded. But in the discussion at such a quesitots, observation and expo. rietice omit be Ids oldes. Perhaps to two of the noW before their I.,ol.".shipa, he might have no great abjettiOn ; but to the repeal of too Acts of King William and Queen Antic, tie could nut con sent. , These 'Acts had been introduced and caitied by thewisdoin and assent of some at the v keit men in both 1 - -foOtieti of Parliament which this cotintry ever produced, and they had the experience ot whole coottuy to sanClion, and recommend thertio,— Such were the shades, gradations, and varieties of the Circotnrstances which ebiracterised Offences, alai 'it was . tinpoasitide to devise'a scale of • penalties end ponishinents.that could strittly be applied to thilia all. Any ittLetlipt to do it) might reduce us to the , adoption of the ,systent 01 the Chinese Ciiminal: !

Lord LAUDECLIDA4I: cont e nded, that the Noble and Learned Lord had no just ground on the present • occasion to arraign the trainers or supporters of the Bills before the Howe, of au iiielitiatiou to intro "duce what be wail pleased toeitil modern philosophy. The same principle upon which. these tStuis.souud, l ad lately, been alAcci upon oy. their Lkirdinipsitl the training of a Bid to Consolidate,iii One 'ail the Aas which made deato• the pt..oisloneot ut Certain ,offences: against the Excise Laws. souse of the tiFit kgal authorities in the ,country gave their at. tendon, their labour, and, their appi ()banal) to that measure . ; and no one thought Of describing it as an attempt to introduce ano establish a sysient Cp.... Minai law ad tne.basts at the, modern philosophy. "flict.Loan CHANCI-l i ,E.Olt referred to toe Example of the disposition which meet's Minds had th extt minea the principles upon which our criminal .code was framed, a disposition whicti lie tihnseif kit 111 early life, before observation' and experience had Matured his. jcidgioetit. Since, however, he had learned to listen to these great teachers in thus itn portant science, his ideas had 'greatly changed, and he saw tlic wisdom of the principles and practice by ; which our criminal code was regulated. It was Mt possible to observe the, various terms and aspect* under which otiences of the same class, aid liable to the same punishments, ottereo themselves to our view, without feeling the nectisity ot allowing a degtee at discretion in apportioning the ditfirent de grams of punishment with which each should be vi sited. In plod o 1 this .assertion, the Noble amid Learned Gerd adduced a 4reat variety of cases, and aegited,for the tieeeisity ot - vestmg a verylaige share of discretion in the Judges. 01 this the trainer- of the preseot Bills appeared himselt to be very sensible; for, while he took sway the pain of..dst4th, be aliosv. 'ed thelcidgoi great lattaiale of discretion its inessor• ing out the pdeishtnetits which he Wished to Stabil t , lute in the Nom of death. Alter the most serious attention, however, to these Coes, it was the serioU4 eu t i v iciitm of hi* Mind, that at lots gas hunem nai ure rem ihld what if t the'ripp" ratehsiota of death wou!d lt.tVe tti itfost pmkerful -.c6-operaion in de: : toiling from' the cmm oifsion' of . Crimes j, .and..hu thought it unwise - to wittuirAw thu.salutary ence .1 that terror. Lord ERSKINE observed ti n t the British ration want Cotifestiodly the most Moral of any nation no;.v • known ;• and II in shell a nation he observed that.a great 111111111er of offences viten: committed, to wliich was' attached death, he - should impute•such an oc currence 'rather to thiniethitt vicious and defective in our criminal code, than to any depravity the moral disposition of our people. When he saw that out of one hundred 'prosucutions filly or sixty cOrt- Octions and exectiiiotts folld.vcd, then he should'be satimtied, that such offences should be punished by death ; but when out of,a thousatig,prosecutiuns lw observed that onlv one conviction and execution 101- !Owed, he should- also infer, that - the Legi.lattire roust •see that the pain of death was not. applicable to such oFetwes. On this ,ground he should sup port the Motion before the 1-I,,use. Lord ltamisoKt.h could • not coincide in opinion With the Noble and Learned Lord who preceded Experience apd practice,did not bear out that opinion. But lie rose chiefly to observe, that . the assertions of the Noble Lftrd (Lauderdale) WhO re ferred to the . Committeepppointed to take into,con 4ideration the Excise Lawn, were not perfectly cor-' "lA, which tivat Noble Lord would tied •on wore to:timely eXaminini , the provision's of that Meta: sure. Lord EItBKINE and Lord LAVDEIiDALE severally explained, The Elrl of LIVERPOOL supported Loaf Redes• dale, and Observed, that his n:hour and artetytion fis.sisting the Committee on the EXCibe Laws, bad Obtained the warmest thanks .and admiration of the Noble Baron (Lord Grenvilie), who had, duringlhe prey tit Session, naked' the recommitment of that Asio the Bars before the House, he cOuld not approve of then); much less did he approve of the priuctules upon which they'see‘ned to be intro-. duced. If these ',mettles ware to be lollowed'uf, the whole of our criminal code might be changed, and there was n*kuowing where their opetationo 00 , ..0. strip ; he taerefote felt it to be his duty to 0p, : .6r.e the present ft,oti , 4l. • Th-6 Nlarriphi of LANSDOivtiE supported the pi iv ciples 4.1 1 ,0 ts v+; hick IL , e Bills. were introduced, Tho , e who opposed them might have their,own ar gutuents retorted on 'heat, as well as thty ended vouted to retort 'their.-argumetiti on those who sup ported them.

But they did' tiot They rested on prat ice and eltpetienc, , ,.hnd as such only be supported them. Lord Hoi.t.Atiij briefly repred ; after which the question was put; that the Bills be read a second' tdne, when the House Oivided— Cofitents to Non-contents - 2,7 ividjority aping the motion r 7. The Bills on the Table were then forwarded in' their respective stages, and the , House adjourned' at Twelve o'Clock.
