The fault he foaled with the Lord Chancellor was that in

duty, the public had boa defrauded of the public money.
It wee now admitted that some of the officials did not per.

Such mslorastions would at core have been de-

but loomed of that they certified the accounts had been

they wound up their pruceedisgs by borrowing money of

The LORD ADVOCATE, adverting to the amortises
imputations which had been cast upon the Lord Chancellor,
observed that it was difficult to get rid of the prejodioe they
Greats& and be eutreeted the house to listen, as a judicial
tribunal, impartially, to what be should urge on his behalf.
He examioed the evidsece relating to Mr. Wilde end the
appointment of Mr. Welch, entering minutely into it. del
replying as be proceeded to the remarks of Mr. Long-
field and Mr. Hunt. He insisted that on the face
of the evidence, it was absurd to suppose that Mr.
Richard Bothell could hare exercised the infinesce alleged
upon his father, sad maietained that the recommeodations
of Mr. Welsh were amply sufficisot to justify his appoint-
ment. He discussed the ease of Mr. Wilde and the con-
duct of Mr. Miller in reference to it, remarking that it was
very *my now, when all the surrounding circumstances
were hooves, to apply line and rule, and blame the Lord
Chancellor for allowing a retiring pension to an officer. He
alluded to the end onion in the evidence of Mr. Miller, and
compared it with that of other witnessee with ieferante
to the ease of Mr. Wilde, reminding the house that
the enforced resignation of hie office was • punish.
meal inflicted upon Mr. Wilde. The house should
not express • stronger opinion in regard to the
Lord Chansellor's conduct in this matter than that of the
committee. With reforest:* to the corrupt transactions in
relation to Mr. Welch's appointment, he contended that
there was not the most remote 'connexion between them
and the motives which had led to the appointment, citing
porticos of the evidence to justify the conalueion that the .1
Lord Chancellor stood thoroughly clear of any ignoble
motive is the matter. He moved se amendment to the
effect that the house, having considered the report of the
select committee on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, and the
evidence upon which it was founded, agree with the 0011 i. I
mitts, in acquitting the Lord Chancellor of all charge,
except baste and want of caution is granting • pension to
Mr. Wilde ; and is of opinion that farther steps should be
take. by law with reference to the grant of such potatoes.
Mr. HENNESSY observed that, looking at the fate that
the Lord Chancellor took the precaution of invariably con-
sulting the law officers and the government, whilst there
Gould be no doubt that hie conduct had done great discredit
to his high office, other members of the government were
peony implicated is the charge. In brief, whatever crimi-
nality attached to the noble nod learned lord was shared in
quite as much by his colleagues.
Mr. DliNfLiti pronounced the motion • great and cruel
injustice to the Lord Chancellor. It was se framed as by its
apparent moderation of tone to catch as many votes as pos-
sible ; sad et, if carried, to render it impossible for the
noble and loused lord to hold office another hoar. For his
part he wished the governs:out had met it with a direct ne-
gative, for it wan as unjust as untrue ; and it was brought
forward is as unfair spirit. The Lord Chancellor had been
an industrious judge and earnest law reformer, end be
trusted that the house would sot, by means of a party
vote, insist epos drivieg from office • great and • good
public aetyset beeline he bed been guilty of certain errors
of judgment is the distribution of patronage and in the sr
topiaries of resignations with pensions where pensions might
have bees refesed.
Mr. BOUVERIE said that he had given notice of an
amendment to the motion of the hoe. member for North-
amptoeshire, which, consistently with the forms of the
hams, he Gould not now put, in ososequeece of the Dad
Advocate having moved an amendment. If, however, the
metier of the hoe. member (Mr. Hunt) should be segatived,
as he treated it would, he should take an opportunity of
moving the resolution of which he had given notice. Of
' course, hoeountble members on the opposition side of
the house could not be expected to place any
