The SPEECH of the Right Honorable the
Earl of Abington, in the House of Lords,
on Thursday the iith of Dec. 1777.
My LORDS,
/AM just come up from tie country, as 1
supposed to do with the rest of your Lord
Ships, our bufaefs in Parliament ; but I
fad that we are already met here to day, in or
der to be sent about our bufaefs into the coun
try, as if the business of Parliament was not our
business, and that we are called up only to do
the business of Minders. Supplies are voted,
and at this tremendous corjunAurcof events,
there is, it seems, no further need of tbegreat
CONSTITUTIONAL council of the nation.
But, my Lords,before I go, I will leave one
I word behind me ; it is an important word,and
its fubjeft matter is of a very prefling nature.
My Lords, when a noble Duke, whose manly
and spirited conduit against this war of jlavery
will ever have the testimony of my warmest ap
plauje, made his motion the other da, for an
enquiry into the flats of the nation, bis Grace
jaid, that he doN^s motion might be under
flood as a general motion, open to every en
quiry, and not (imply confined to any propositions
of his own ; it is therefore, my Lords, under
the falter of this mile Duke's motion, that I
have now a motion of my own to make, in ad
dition to those that have been already received.
M, Lords, humanity has ever been the cha
ra^riftic of EngUfomen ; but, my Lords,whe
ther corruption has, with our morals, changed
our very feelings, or whether it be owing to
that EXOTIC influence which has so long di
relied our councils, or not, it is not for me to
determine ; but, m% Lords, irftead of humanity,
our national charter is now flapped with
Inhumanity ; and, what is worse, we have the
damning proofs before our eyes.
WHEREAS tbs Proprietors ,/GILMANTOWN
and o<wws of particular Lots in /aid Tran, in
the State of New HampJbiro, have been itgaO, Notified

§ GitmantaH. §
STATE if NEW HAMPSHIRE,
My Lords, lam informed, and my informal
tion is to be depended upon, that the American
prisoners in this country (men who are made
prisoners in the glorious cauje of Liberty, and
are nick named rebels, only to fatisfy the rebel
lion of Minivers against the freedon of this
country) are treated with a Savage Barbarity.
My Lords, I have beard some of their com
plaints, and they have gone to my heart. I
;will give you one of them in instance.
I My Lords, we all know, or the Rev. Bench
I of Bifh^ps will tell us so, that there are cer
tain religious objellions againfl inoculating for
the small pox. 'Thefe objections the Americans,
for the moss part, have ; and, in proportion to
the credulity of the objeaion, do the fears of the
difeaje increase. It was necessary, my Lords,
to premise this ; now for the fall. In one of
the prisons, a prisoner was inoculated for the
jmall pox ; and after the eruption appeared,
the patient was put into a cell with five Ame
ricans, who bad never bad the disorder. They
expressed their fears ; and, Ido suppose, they
were therefore caII;DCOWARDS /'& this
your Lprdjhips may be assured of, that neither
fears, nor tears, nor prayers, were able to
remove the sick from the well.
My Lords, if this be abetted, end does not
meet wish condign punifhmenl, all government
here is at an end, and civil fociely no more ;
for my Lords, what is civil feciety, but a
public combination fcr private protection.
My present motion, therefore, my Lords is,
" That an humble Addrefi.be presented to
his Majefty,requeuing that he will be pleased
to dife^, that all orders and inftruaions that
have been given by the officers, whose busi
ness it is, to the several goalers, or keepers of
other boufa of confinement from time to time
since the commencement of hostilities, & the
bringing of American prisoners into this coun
try, down to the firft of the present month
Decembers respecting the hi(tory ^J! m \#—
ment of the (aid prisoners, may be laid be
fore this house; and that the returns whiclz
have been made to office from the said pri
sons, of their numbers and deaths, together
with the accounts of each article of expence
attending their confinement, may likewise
be produced."
My Lords, ! baDe made this motion, not only
from the feelings of humanity,but from motives
of POLICY. Lour Lordfoips will remember,
that there is fueb a thing as the law of RE
rALIATION. Wbilfl you are making pri^
foners of the Amerians by fifties and hundreds,
they are making prisoners of you by WHOLE
ARMIES. The fate of General Burgoyne is
KNOWN ; and if General Howe does not
again Shift his position, bis fate will be the
fame. My Lords, Iwill only add, that I hope
this motion will be agreed to, and that it will
be productive of good ; but my Lords, as it
will be some time before it can have its effeff,
Imuft Jignify to your Lordfoips, that it is my
intention,in the mean ^bilejo promoters much
as lies in me, a Jubjcription for the relief of
these unfortunate prifoners,in hopes of procuring
the contribution of e^c-ry noble Lord of this
House ; for my Lerlf, the majority Lords, who
have benefited by the American war, can afford
it. Those who have not ( the Bishops ) will
remember;that CHARITY COVERETH
A MULTITUDE OF SINS ; and as to
I the minority Lords, they will all be led to it
from PRINCIPLE. Thus, my Lords, Ifoall
not despair of there being colleEled, at least, as
;much money for these HONEST WHIGS^
I as was procured for those Tory Priests, who,
'for attempting to undermine the Liberties
! of America, were driven out of that country,
\ and are, perhaps for the fame purposes, now
ipenfioned in this.
