The present Bill applied to a, particular case, in which the suspension of the Habeas Corpus could produce eo effect. Sir S. ItoNtt LLY and Mr.'ll. BeTounst Mutually expl;tined. Mr. PONSCINDY declared that the Secret Com mittee had called for no particular Measure, Im: had expressly and unanimously np,ieed to state, only facts, and to leave the Executive to do its duty. As to the - conspiracy itself, it was of that tlartire"that it lutist be destroyed almost 'as soon es discovered. As to the Bill, some parts/of it were very good, end sonic very objectionable. As he thought the great mischief proceeded from the abuse of popular meetings, he did not object to the restrictions proposed to be imposed upon theM. [le also agreed that the Magistrate should have the power to enforce the law ;. bnt,he could not consent to vest that power in the breast owl discretion of only one Magistrate. NVltat 'objec -6,4 could there he to enlarge the number 'of Magisttates %silo were to decide whether the lan guage used io en assembly was seditious or not ? The Bill consisted of two distinct parts, which ought to have been divided, and sehmitted sepa rately to the consideration of Parliament. Set jeant BesT observed, 'that theoriy. ep-, piereattmode of preventing these mischiefs was to empower some per sou to do so. No security cueld be given by Requisitionists calling, a Meet- ing that it shimld be conducted with propriety. As to one Magistrate having that power, it might be better that two should he requisite : but meetings might often be Field in many places in the country where there would be the greatest difficulty in getting more than one on the immediate occasion. Therefore this provision appeared to be necessaiy. This power . was cotiferred mate peculiar circum stances, to repress or prevent measures tending to subvert the Government and Constitution.
