TRI NI, OF VIWOUN f MELVIL! E
A Cornatis tee of their Lordships, consisting of
;is Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Earl
Spencer, Earls of Cassilis and Besborough, Lords
Auckland, Dandas, and others, Peers, were ap-
pointed to exantine and report to the House the state
of the preparations in Westrninsttr-i.411, for the
;shove purpose; and accordingly their Lordships
forthwith proceeded thither.
Lord ELDON espre,sed some doubts with respea
to the propriety of one of the resolutions in the re-
port, which related to the manner in which it was
proposed their Lordships, or rather the House,
should give judgment upon the article of charge ;
on this the Noble and Learned Lord made a variety
of observations. respefting the effeet which the mode
proposed may hale in a legal point of view, with
rsspett to- the Defendant interposioo en arrest of
judgment, kc. The resolution, as it came forward
at present. was, he thought. rather premature.
Lord AUCKLAND said a few words upon the
occasion, and seemed to think i: went to lay down a
rule, with the certain knowledge that many cases
may arise, to which such a role was inapplicable.
The Earl of RA DNOR took an opportunity of
alluding to the Resolution reipea.ng the form or
corensooial of their Lordship,' sitting in Westmin-
ster Hall, which, as proposed, he highly, with a re-
ference to the shierrnety and importance of the oc-
casion, disapproved of. It militated against what
bad been the g..tneral pradice of their Lordships on
former occasions of the kind ; in support of this, the
Noble Earl referred to the Journals, from which se-
veral extradis were read; one in particular, the 4;h of
July, 1746, on one of the then State Trials, on which
occasion, the order made was, "that the Lords do
occupy their proper places during the trial." In
the course of his Lordship's farther remarks, and the
reading of the extrads, it appeared, that the De-
fendant. according to the precedent of the Earl of
Macclesfield, is to sit in his robes, uncovered. The
Noble Earl then adverted to one of their Lordships'
standing orders, which he moved to have read, and
which provided, that the Peers should sit in their
proper places, according to the Aft of Parliament,
except the land Chancellor, who was to sit ins the
Woolsack ; and concluded by moving, "'That so
much of the said standing order as applied to their
Lordships sitting in Westminster Hall, be enforced
by the Lord Chancellor."
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool-
sack, and after paying a handsome compliment to
the extensive erudition, strong powers of mind, and
profound research, for which he described the Noble
Earl was ronsarkable, thus gifted, it appeared rather
strange. he thought, that one, who so well under-
stood the substance, should lay so great stress upon
form, for which he seemed unccm.atanly zealous.
With respeet to the motion, he appts.tended that be
possessed, originally, as much authority as Speaker
of the House, as he could derive under the proposed
Motion, it would be, in that point of view, unneces-
sary; the use of form was for the preservation of the
substance ; if, therefore, the use made of that form
were to disturb the oil stance of justice, it would beso
far perverting that form. He hoped he should have
every assistance from their Lordships ; which he
felt would be necessary, in the due preservation of
real order, and enahling him to fulfil properly that
arduous situation, in which he was about to be

placed. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded
by moving the previous question.
Lord AUCKLAND made some observations

agaimt the necessity of the motion, and contended,
that the greater part of the precedents adduced, ap-
plied
differently from what the Noble Sad argued;
no such order was made on the occasion of the last
Impeachment, and no one ever heard of any com-
plaint made in consequence.
Several other Peers briefly delivered their senti-
ments ; and after
The Earl of RADNOR spoke in explanation, the
Hnnse divided—
For the previous Question, 37—Against it, 10—
Majority 27.
%VEST INDIA TItc.PE.
On our re-admission to the House,
Lord SHEFFIELD was on his feet, urging the
propriety of the produaion of several farther docu-
ments of a commercial nature, which he conceived
necessary for the due undentanding of the subject,
of which the West India Intercourse Bill, then
pestling, formed so important a part. The Noble
Lord moved for several accounts and documents,
loin, of which were ordered to be laid before the
House, and the motions for others negatived with-
out a division. The discussion principally took
place on the motion for the produSion of the Repot t
of a Committee of the Board of Trade to the Privy
Council, respeding the Nest India trade, made in
January, 1784.
Lord HOLLAND oppt szd this %lotion, as un-
necessary, and the objesl of it ttnding to no good
or useful purpose; as it was evidently nut wise, that
an opinioh, fortned under circumstances, in 1764,
should be a guide for their deliberations, in 1806.
What was therein sec ,mmended, proved to be
detrimental to our West India possessions, in the
tree following years. He disapproved of partial
or incomplete prodtglions, as not tending t 3 throw
a full or proper light upon the subject.
A convetaatiosi of some length ensued, between
Lards Auckland. Holland, and Sheffield, which
last spoke several times in explanation. Same of
the 'documents,. particularly that alluded to, were
opposed by Lrd'Auckland, on the ground of their
beiqg tutaily irrelevant to the Bill before the House;
belies. a great ',Arcot what the Noble Lsrd called
for, was excessive!, voluminous, would be proffue-

tive pf mitzb unntlexagity tr:ublei and could be
a no post.ible
In the course of his expl marionc, Lnrd HOL-
LAND said, the Noble Lord might AS well move
for the prodniton and priiti•ng of A:saertAn't 54,/eat
(76none-cr, and P,,,tlethis-ite'r Ihßiwatry.l4 burg., )
I he crestion being put on the above Motion, it
v..t. ne4.itive.l w'thout a division.
I..)rd=iiips then proceeded to forward the
Bills on the tAhle, in their respelive rages, after
which the I-Lit.e ...ljourned till Monday.
