'DEBATES ra the HoupE or Commons Thursday
April 6, ci^nacd from out lafi.
CT" HE order of the day being read fur the house
A i 0 refobe iiftli into a committee, in order to
take the petition, from the people into cm fidemion,
Ihe Speaker put the queftian for hi# leiv n^ the
c air w^ch being earned, Mi. Huffry took hit feat
at the table.
Gin. panning then refe. and prefaced the motion,
he afterwards pepefed to the committee, in a fyeech
cf one hour and a ball's continuance ; in the courfa
cf which I & tock an ample review cf all that bad bt&n
dene for the people free the petitions were firft
ti-ked cf, gn atd iota a difeuffion cf the extent of
what was done and enforced the neciffi y if doing
ft 1) more. He be-;au with faying, that he was per
f&.y aware, the peitiuos lad already produced, an
affumal degree of cffi& Mbit era had felt it recef-
Luy in coAfegotr.ee of them, to lowez their tone,
to talk with mure decency and rtfpea of the pt ple,
a # d in feme hr afore to meet their w.flits, and agree
to a few <.f:LC various prepositions for "their benefit
and advamaft, which had been made by d fcrint
gend. men in tha # house ; in the firft rank cJ these
prep, fl ion, flood hit honorable friends bill for the
reform of 6 e civil lift ettb'fhment • a bill holding
out a plan ~ot rawe ptaife wortl y for tie great in
genuity of it, and for the extent of its bench's to
the public, than fr its wonderful precision, and the
happy accuracy and perf, ; cu; y, with which, *
one view it infolded a mazier uncemmbr y com
plex in itfelf, and involved in the most dify^ng
intricacy and impenetrability. One part oft! ebill
bad beta-carried, and pcffibly fill mere of it rx ght
meet with the finAon of uoat house. A second
pnpifiuon m favour of rhe people, was a bJI brought
in by another honorable friend, far the pa pole of
amending the confti uticn cf hat house, and purg
ing it freer the p^feuce cf 'hole who were, ?nd fpu
tably under the immediate ir.fluer.ee cf the M^ifler,
A third wh ch §ad ton effwed, war a plan for the
investigation of tie public accounts. Ou the fi 0
motion, of which the noble Lord in the blue R b
band had, in a manner wheh did hm honour in
the minds cf all who heard him, offered his affif
tai.ee, and cihis own accord tendered every help
that could be derived from cffice without the friend
ly ad cf which, the plan wet from its nature im
pr^Ak able. Scarcely hew ver had gentlemens minds
f It the $ low of admira ion at the noble Lord's can
dcur, before, perhaps fi ding on nfl £l.o;ithat it
was beneath the dignity o!h>sNation to be an affif
taut, the noble lord had affum^d the chauaer cf a
prmc^pal, and had givenrorce cf a bill of his own,
ipecac fiy in^d avotf ; i<, fur its olj<a the fame

anti colleague but differing so entirely in inform,
and likely to be prodsßiva of fa d fife.ent an eff a,
thai no one falu tat, purpefe, as fir as he could jud,e
from a pcrufal of the hit in quedion premised 10 be
(he reiuit. H^ touk eccafioa hero to answer the
charge a^ainft his colleague and l.tflf cf depen-
Cahceona nob c Earl, declaring tha. he cot filmed
as the pride of hi# life to bteconnrard in the ciefeft
bonds cf friendffip with a nebkman, confeffedly
of the £u abilities in the k&igdom and endowed
wuh mental qualities which net only rendered him
a mcM valuable friend, but an ernement re human
Eiare. He thought it^n honor to have be% re
cerine, did to hit condituent- by the nrbie Lo.d,
nd warp^fraiy iudifEfent w. ether ethr s c. <fe
to cab h>s couneafon by the narceof depe tie ce,
or any other appellation convey??/ a ( ircefol idea.
He was aware that probably U sh '"id be called
cn forproof cf the iccreafe cf the fleece t f*be
crown. The nctorie yof it, hr d,r!md made he
fp>c fie proof difficult. Whatev- 1 mr co feff d,
i: was no< ^afy 0 getzny man to g ; vt it . cv'^nce.
It he ranked along the ftreetih a 4 vast% flap all
he met on th* fhoelder edtodfi ? them-to come
dawn to the H. use cf C; m^cn, to, prove that the in
fluence of the crewn was increased, every man
would laugh in hi. face at the ridiculous st effach
a liquet, and f^y that the fid was better known
to L.e houie than to any person whatever with
out doors, for tlat the house had long felt it.
He aaded that it was notorious that the majority
W:;o had, for feme years, supported the noble Lord
in that house, were as loud in ridiculing and repro
batinghis m^fares without doors, at any of rite
ge- lemon with whom he had the honor to xa ; that
ev iy roan knew this fa&, and if the talk were not
an invidicas one, he could diroß'y name as leal
sis y m*cben who had in hi# presence done so.
Mr. banning quoted Mr.'Hunte, to prove that
he fore saw the increasing ii finance so early as the
year 1742 ; and also qro ed jidge Blackstone as ac
authori y for its epft&ice. He cited a piffle from
Hume's tiny# to jhew that able wri er had prcph&
fied that arbitrary monarchy wonld one day or ether
be ihe euri an, fi. of the B^trih confutation.
After decanting 00 the amount of what had been
done for the people, and introducing cn pi&rr a
number of lbDw4 lturos upon administration, he fa 4
he Ihould prop fe a pre portion to the crmrciitee,
wh cb however it might referable an abfiraft propo
rtion certair ly was not of that difetip'ion, as it
grety out of the pt irions, and was meant by him a#
a ground for other uftlattns, which he deigned to
move &f upwards, but no idea cf w'^ch he would
then five ,b^caufe he was awaro if he did the de
bate would be di .A d '0 them, and eot id the mo
tion which he fhouid firft make.
He fold hr chief aim in p p'in; the reflation
he was about .0 riiove. had been, 10 effer such a
qictiion to the cemmi^e^, as sh uld pat it out df
t.e power of any nwjorhy so prevent a Air and ex
plicit deefton upon it, from which de fin the
people ragit at once jad ewho were, and who were
not,, ready to comply with the zifr.fi. ion stated in
the;r petitions, and to peered ferioi fly and fiacerri
ly to mutsly their grievances. He begged the
house to reccika flat the fubfrC matter urged in
the petition, va§ reduceable to two heads; the G ™?
a complaint of the alarmingly eaciesfed iiJ icnce cf
the crown ; the o'ber, advice cf reform and cfceco %
nomy in the management of public expenditure.
Both of these were obj ^Aroertainly highly laudable,
buttle ittpjrunLe of the laiter in a great dele
grow outef the magnitude of the former. The firft
of ihafe two heads, therefore, demanded the fi ft
attention of the house, for which ro^fon, he had
made it the fubj^a cf his nfolurien which he a%aiu
advertised the committee was not an ahn^a p @O
- and being offered to a committee va net
objtaiouable beesufe before it was roper rd to trie
house. Ihedd it be voied (sad he flittered himfelf
there would be a majority in its favour) it would
have other ufolutious annexed to it as is confer
qaences. He concluded wuh moving."' Tkat it
is the opinion of this Committee that the influence
cf the Crown ha* mere,fed, is ir:creafing. and
cu^ht to be diminished." „ ±
