HOUSE OF COMMONS.
London, April 5.
SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.
Mr. Adam congratulated the house, on
its coming coolly and deliberately to consi
der this important question. If the opinions
delivered by his lion, and learned lriend (Sir
S. Romilly) were promulgated ; he would
say there was an end to the authority of
this house—(Universal cheers. ) Should
this house, the champion of the liberties of
the people, which it vindicated against the
assertions of James I. and Charles II_
should this house, which forced James II. to
abdicate his throne—which has ever strug
gled against the innovations of the crown,
and in which struggle it has always been
successful, thougn coped with tyranny,
should, he said, this hoH.se now resign its
rights ? Should democratic power, when
probed to the bottom, be now passed over in
silence—( Hear, hear !) He was astonish
ed, that one ot such perspicuity and appli
cation as his learned friend, should state,
that the present question depended on the'
case of Gale Jones—that the house was oc
cupied in the consideration of the past, and
not the present subject. On what does the
power of a court of Judicature rest, but on
the maintenance of its character? Has it
been forgotten, that this is one of the pri
inary courts of Judicature? lie th<»ti pro.,
ceeded to read a nassaire from
ith Institute ; where it states it is impos.
sihle tor a court to he high in the estimation of
the people, or to maintain its authority,
without a certain power; this power when
licentious, is certainly injurious, but it is
essential to government—(Ifrur, !J
In a word no supreme power can exist with
out a right of punishment for contempt_
The rase of (iale Jones was a despicable
ground on which to put this question. Upon
this subject it was argued, that no one could
be considered guilty of contempt unless com
mitted in presence of the house. Could it
be possible that the authority of the House
of Commons and the House of Lords is put
in the situation of that of the Constable of
the night who possesses the right ol commit
ting h drunken man to the watch house, bt_
cause he is an obstruction.—(Loud (Sheers.)
Mr. Justice Rlackstone states as clear as
possible, that the authority of a court rests
on its inquisitorial powers ; and in what does
this consist, but iri tile right of punishing for
contempt ?— Once deprived of this, its au
thority is lost among the people, without it
to oppose the i< Huence of the Crown would
he ineffectual ; it is a right which cannot be
told when it conninenred, but stands on im_
memorial usage. The time would come
wl.en the voice of the peoplu through that
House, would diive away the present Min
isters from the reins of power, such was his
devoted prayer ; yet this was an object un
attainable, unless by protecting their prlvi
leges. Th'* Hon. Member referred to the
precedent of 1774, in the case of Mr. Wood
fall, who published a libel against the. then
Speaker. Mr. Fok moved that he should be
1 his is farther corroborated in Mr. Har_
grave’s discourse on the History of Parlia"
mentary Judicature.-The next authority
he should quote, would be that of one who
he might say was educated in Parliament,
and ot whom he never could speak without
the feenngs of ardent veneration and aflec
tion. Mr. Fox being asked, how far tlm
power of the House extended in committal?
he answered, it could commit for contempt
or misdemeanor, which amounted to con
tempt. In a letter which succeeded, he
say s, this power extended to punishment for
writing contumaciously ; therefore he consi
ders not merely common obstruction, but
contumacious writing can be punished as
contempt. In writing the contumely of ex
pression may be done away or confirmed by
the context; and he desired the House would
consider the whole, when it could nut but be
acknowledged, that much might be conveyed
in the form of argument, which is a groos
insult on inspection. lie then read the pas
sage from the argument, p. 441 —•• Vet lim
ited and circumscribed, fee. it calls upon the
accused to criminate himself.” This as
section he would positively deny, not only in
the present case, but in that of Mr. Home
who was called on to defend himself, and an
opportunity given tosummon witnessesa/tnu
di. Asitothe observations on the warrant
he considered them a gross libel, and tending
to cutup the very roots of the Constitution.
He begged the House to attend to tins pas
s.igt-—_ • Does it not evidently appear that
tills piece of unsealed paper, signed by the
ppaeker, by which an untried subject ha*
i , _ , i* 1.»i c. v* c tin:
been outlawed, bears no feature of legality ?’
hppn mil toiling !__ r .. . J
I hunk god. said the Hon. Member (addres
sing himself to the Speaker) we never hac
a se:.. of rmce ; your name and authority
Sir, is our stamp. (Hear, hear!) Doe
that warrant want a seal which orders i
writ from the Great Seal ? Sir, this House
by its privileges, tore that seal from tlu
Chancellor Shaftsbury, and ••made it speak.’
On this subject lie would speak out, nndsav
the greatest punishment v/as merited; hui
at present it was not the best mode: the re
solution, he trusted, would not extend far
ther than a reprimand. He alluded to the
case of Major Scott, where the House hav
ing pronoHncrd tne publication libellous vet
thought proper to pass only a reprimand.
iVlr.l itt, on the occasion he alluded to. took
a particular part in the discussion, and de
sired the House to take it up with great mod
el ation. A reprimand would come with pe
cul.ar weight and dignity from the person
wno filled the chair, and tothe feelings of »
gentleman he conceived it to be the severest
punishment. The author of the pamphlet
bad totally mistaken the case of Sir K
Steele, and with ingenious fallacy had quoted
every part of my Lord Coke’s Institutes ex
cept the last, which expressly treats on the
nature of courtsof Parliament; and of the lap
ter it should be recollected, that it possesses
not the inferior, but its fair and just place in
the Constitution.—(Hear, hear !)

London, Friday, April 6, half past 7, P.
M. Some egregious errors appear in the
committed to Newgate ; when he and Mr.
Horne were brought in custody to the bar,
the latter pleaded not guilty, but he dared
not then tell what he has 7v/iispcreit somc
where now. (I.ovd cries qf Hear i) When
the greatest authority and experience exis
ted, in the time of Lord North, the rights
of Parliament were never doubted ; such
contumacy was left to these times. At that
time there was not one word heard about
the privileges of t*ie House. It was the
more extraordinary, because an acrimonious
discussion took place, and the most eminent
characters of the country, Fox, Thuvlow,
Loughborough, etc. took part in the debate;
hut it never occurred to them that the House
«>t Commons did not possess the power to
commit either Mr. WoodfaJl or Mr Horne.
It was left for the times in which we live to !
dispute such power and privilege, and he al- I
most considered it a was*e of time to refer !
to any other precedent., The Resolu'ions of
1701, after the Kentish Petition, the division
of so extraordinary a nature which followed ;
the events of that period down to 1774 ; form
a ground of argument from which it is im- !
possible to he ditlodged. 1 he case of Ash
ley and White was put an end to by a dis
solution of parliament ; and this, as the we- j
cessity of a supreme intervening power was I
evident, was a wise resolution. Crosby was i
refused a habeas corpus ; ar.c\. in the year
1752 one Murray was brought' before the:
House, who applied to the King’s Lencli for !
a habras carpus'. This was refused by I us- !
tice Wright, an upright Judge, &nf un'blem- i
ished character,who decla. t :! that in so doing
he felt perfectly easy in his conscience, inas
much, as he conceived such a refusal c< n
sonant to the feelings of the House. lie
quoted the authority of the Lord Chief Jos,
tice Hale, from the manuscript in the pos
session of Mr, Hargrave (page 221 chap. 11 )
j which states that the power of committal
belongs to the House by long and unquestion.. •
I _able usage, but it had not the power cf giv- j
ing damages.
Tiie case of Sir Francis Burdett at this
moment absorbs every consideration. After
the decision of the House of Commons, last
mgnt that Sir Francis should be committed
to t.ie 1'ower, it was naturally to be expec
ted that the Hon. Baronet would be convey
ed to his place of confinement in the course
of this day, but to the present period he has
not been taken thither—it is expected, how
ever, that in the course of this evening he
will be lodged in the l ower, since I have
positive information that the mode of his
proceeding to the Serjeant at Arms has been
art anged with Mr. Burdett Jones for that pur
|»ose. \ arious stories are in circulation with
t espeev to the cause of his nun appearance
at this particular juncture, but I wi.| repeat
none of them except that which I t >ke to
be tiie simple fact, namely, that Sir Francis
Burdett, anticipating the d* cision of the
House, on this case, and conceiving lhat it
might be some time before he could spend'
an hour in the bosom of his family at hi*
own fire side, deemed it proper lojiin his
w_”e a,u* family at Wimbledon yesterday
atternoon, whither he wa3 seen proceeding
OU horseback about 5 o’clock, accompanied
b> a man servant. In order to lx- put in
possession of the proceedings in the House,
lie desired his br. rher to attend the whole of
the debate. At 8 o’clock this morning Mr.
Reiman, the serjeant, was :n possession of
the warrant, signed bv the Speaker, tor the
committal of Sir F. Burdett to the Tower.
It is understood that Sir Fi.mcis b.as agreed
to the propriety of going v. the Tower as
private as possible Be this as it may, an
uncommon great sensation has been excited
and the town has been all day, and is atnrel
sein ex remely agitated.
During the whole of the day a crowd lias
been assembled in the vicinity of the Tower
at times v 'derating “ Burdett for ever;” a
muc.i greater assemblage of persons fill <l e
street of Piccadilly and the avenues leading
to it—at present they indicate no mischief,
out what night will produce I cannot say.”

I rom the M »rning Chronicle of Saturday

Sir Francis arrived in town about » o’clock
where he received a note from the serjeant
at arms, informing him of the order of the
house for his committal, and requesting to
know when he should wait upon him with
the speaker h warrant, for the purpose of
