Yesterday the L, Court of Cominon Council at coi - isetiner ( e of Redo sitiou he had recety‘ ii, to consider of the avowal of an intention on the part of hi ,ty's Ministeis to .propose the further sii.pensiou. of the Habeas Corpus, tani to adopt, such! men- sureS, by petitio n or otherwise„ai -should be thought necessary..„ Atter tie last proceedings had been, real!, and sundry leases sealed, a petition as presented front Robert Wilson, E-. 4. izen Spectaele•multer; praying to be dischatged from his ti , odiraikin of Shet-iii, itt cousequctice'di having lately sei red the office of Sheriff tor the County of Lssex, and l!la lather having already Raid a fine to be . exempt front his nomination, which, after some ob.er‘ations from .Sir Jas. SIM W, Mr. Alderman Ileygate, S. Dixon, and Mr. Harvey,. Was not complied with. The Committee for General 'Purposes delivered in a Repdrt, with an opinion of Counsel, in re spect of. the office of Bailiff of the Borough of Southwark, which was read and , adjourned, end ordered to be printed, and a copy sent to each Member: The Court ordered an account, of the fees paya- ble upon licensing victuallers within the City to be laid before them, . J. Smith, Esq. 'Clerk and Treasurer to the Commissioners 'of Lieutenancy, presented an ac count of the receipt and expenditure of the Trophy Tax, which was ordered. to be printed for the use of the MeMbers. The tourt then proceeded to the business of the ReqUisition.' After it had been read, Mr, WAITHMAN rose.--4le said it was`painfh►i to him to be under the necessity of so frequently addressing the Court, for the purpose of bringing forward propositions for the : redress of public grievances, or to oppose inroads upon the. tights and 'liberties of his countrymen but it was par ticularly irksome on the present occasion, because no rational anticipAtion could have been enter• taineo•lsuch an attempt as Miniiters, had avowed, to renew-, the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus— at a moment whew the Houses of Parliament were filled with petitions for redress of public grievances, and no pretence for it existed in the violation of peace and tranquillity in any part of the kingdom. To most of the persons he then addressed, it could not be necessary to make m a ny o b se r va ti ons , i n order to sheiv that the Habeas Corpus was an in valuable right, of which they were still longer to be deprived—a right of . which, if they oug h t ever to be abridged, it ought not to be without the clearest proof of necessity for its suspension.— (Hear, hear !)—Ott a former occasion he had entered into details, to show that. the right of habeas Carpus bad belonged to Englishmen as far back .as their Constitution could be traced, though it was. an opinion pretty generally enter tained; that it was conferred by the Act in question. It could not, howzver, ,be too often repeated, that it was an old right, recognized by Mugna 'Cholla, the Bill of Rights,,and not less than forty Statutes besides ; yet all these not being found a sufficient security, our ancestors obtained the Ha bees Corpus Act, - in order the better to.define and protect a right which bad been acknowledged thrattgli' - so long a period of 'our'history. It was in the reign of Charles the. Second, a reign fruit ful in plots and alarms, that our ancestors, so fur from thinking. that such was the tiu►e at width the ight ought to be suspended,—it was then that they chose to assert it by the Act referred to ; and be could therefore not , suppose a case, under ex isting circnmst afters, which could induce any tnun to surrender this right,, a ho had the least venera tion for the Constitution., The .existing laws were able to grapple with political offences and ,politiCal ,offenders, or, if they were not, they might be made so but he would say, do not break in on . the sacred bulwark of the Constitu tion,-(l7lear !)—He had on a former occasion ad- tinted to the qievances which gave birth to the Habeas Corpus,Act. An individual, illegally int prisoned,eulled the attention of Varliatnent to the circtunst.ance, and they thought it necessary to erect this barrier atainst the inroads un public liberty, and, for the security of the pub ject. It was .true there had been cases in which this Act had !Seen suspended ; but it vas a mat.. to of doubt whether any of the' circumstances were sufficient to justify it. Here was the clanger of precedent, which, however, established in the fist instance, was eagerly sought by ether Nlini sters to justify suspending the tights of the peitple on the most light and unworthy 'pretences. He would call to the mind of the Court the dream stances under which the present sospension took place. It was at a time when 'the people, op• pressed beyond measure, came forward.with peti tions for redress, that the Government took ad.* vantage of some excesses to suspend the Constitti tion. It was impossible. not to suspect that this was with a 'view Id fortify themselves to cotrup• lion, and to protect existing abuses. Since then, the public had witnessed the passing of Acts to suspend the very life's blood of the Constitution, with so much haste that an individual living in a remote part of the kingdom had not time to m i . btand them, and petition against them, before it was too late. But they had not only been hurried through Parliament, they bad been passed upon ex-paieevidence, tvith out the means °Loon - tradicting the statements on which ►hey woe said to be founded, and which had since in the mostpa tetial facts been proved to have been erroneous. He would ask, what bad been done %ince the pass ing of these acts, that could not have been done, without them ?
