spectable gentlemen who were in the willery when
the circumstance took place, and from whom, per-
haps, some further information iteigl.t he collected.
Timms, Boswell was then called in and examined.
%Vitness sat within two or three feet of the
stranger. when the conversation took place between
him and the messenger : the stranger was taking
notes. The messenger said, " Put down your

Charles White examined.

Witcess heard a culiversatioo between a stranger
aiid the inerremor. The stranger wits willing, 'with
hiss hunk on the green-cloth, told the ineesenger
from the adjoining xtllery desired lain to take tar

request wee not complied with, bat was tioswered
by rather rtroiig lisiivAltlge on the apart of Ole
stranger, who and "Go to 11-11." There was far-
ther language, but witness believed it wee not heard
by the messenger. It comprised an oath—witriess
believed it went so far as " Go and he il--el."
.1.0 that WAS gilded* " I will appeal to the Speaker."
!Mr. Et LICE raid, under the contradictory testi-
mony the 114ure hail heard, on teal, sides, expe-
daily as it could net be doubted hot that all par-
ties wished to give fair and honest evidence, he
suggested to the Learned Member the propriety of
withdrawing his motion. in order to give the O-
wner an opportunity of appearing et the bar to
offer such en apology or explanation as the eircsime
&lances seemed to require—(No! 110 ) —mid which,
at till events, was doe on nccourit of hie having in-
terfered, in arty way wills the inesseegers, in the
execution of their duty. He did 11,4 kiiow whether
lie was in order or nut—hut, if he were in orders
he would move, se an simemlinent. " That the
Piisoner be called again to the bar of the !louse."
The amendment being put from the Chair—
Mr. BaT:tues•e said, he knew not for whit par-
pose the prisoner could be called to the bar, unless
there was a feeling in the Hen. Member's mind,
that he would snake such an apology as could be
received in mitigation of punishment. if he were
disposed to mike an apology for these wards, it
would place his case in a different aduation from
that in which it at present stood.
Mr. ELLice said, having left the House for the
purpose of writing a letter, he accidentally met the
prisoner in the lobby—and, the effensive expree-
• stone hieing been positively stated to have beim
used by l.ois, and by lain as positively denied. he
asked, whether it wits possible there could be coy
inseappreliension in his mind as to what occurred ?
The pi:oiler stated distinctly. " A- fir us my re-
vollectiod gees, I did not use those expressions. I
• was. taking a debate, on a very interesting occasion,
suet being interrupted, I might bare used a hasty
,•epressioe—but I know I left the gallery, fully
deterndoeil to submit to the authority of the
I louse." He asked the stranger " vas he disposed
to snake an apology to the Goose for using even a
hasty expression to the messenger ? The prisoner
said " Ves—that he would make oily fair apology
that r&glit be required or him." Therefore it wise
that he proposed to call the prisoner to the bar in
(viler that he might offer in apology.
Mr. W. WYNN said. the groom' on which he
made his motion was not so moth on account of
the t0.g00.1 offence, which might :lave arisen Irons
the heat of the moment, as with reference to what
bud afterwards occurred. If the prisoner had
thrown himself on the mercy of the (louse and ask.
ed pardon. perhaps the matter might have rested
there. But, as he always held that the ack now-
ledgineut of an offence went greatly in mitigation of
it, au lie thought that a bold and unqualified de-
taut was ass aggravation of the error.—(ikar.)—
ate there appeared to bl some dissimilarity in the
evidence, and as khelffsoeser was ready to snake uu
apology for what lied occurred, he had no objection
to withdraw his motion.—(l/eor.)
Mr. C. Ilummisiis said, he recently saw the
prisoner, who authorised lain to state, and also
requested another Gem. Member to declare, that
he was not conscious of having used any offensive lan-
gauge whatrotver. or of having done any thing im-
proper, in hie conduct up stair.. His not having
:toed this at the bar. was wholly owing to the
emharrassment occasioned by his situation.
Mr. C. HARVEY raid, the stranger must have
known he lied no right to sit in the front of the gal-
lery and there take notes. By pertinaciously ad-
hering its such conduct, by using offensive Itio-
• gunge, and contumaciously rernansing, after he was
ordered to withdraw, lie certainly deserved to be
visited by the displeasure of the Goose.
• Colonel BARRY was of opinion that the prisoner
had acted contumaciously, and the House, in vindi-
cation of its privileges, ought not to suffer such
conduct to pass unpunished.
Lord CAiTLEREAGH suggested, as the conduct
of the prisoner could net be passed over unnoticed,
whether a proceeding, short of committal, that of
reprimand at the her, would oat aftwer every useful
purpose ?—(dear, hear.)

CILOYER s4;d, he understood the stranger to
state distinctly that the moment the messenger
told him to desist front writing, he did desist.-.-
(Alt! no!)

Tile question was then carried, that the prisoner
should be again placed at the bar. Oo his making
his appearduce—
The SPEA KE R said—" This House being inform-
ed that you wish to address something to them, have
directed you to be placed at the bar." ' •
The Prisoner" I am aot consaiows of having
offered the slightest offeure,- nv the 'semi/lest dig..
respect to the House, by any word or deed of mine

this evening. I declare, with sincerity, tiio,"if I
have been betrayed into any hasty expression. of
which I [rave no recollection, I eta sorry for it.—
At the times the circumstinice uccorred, toy mind
was engaged in the most ii;teisse applicivion to the
individual who was then addressing the !loose, and
whose sentiments I was must anxious to take down
most correctly. At this conjuncture I was inter-
rupted, and God knows what might have escaped
me. Dot I am not conscious of having said any
thing ofremive. If I have it me in, I ant sorry fur
it—hut I again boy I have III) feCOlitololl Of it."
The prisoner then witlolmw.
Lord CANTLEREAGII said, the prisoner having
'expressed his contrition fur any thin; that might
have inadvertently fallen from him in the warmth
or'‘he siiinnent—liovill, declared that he meant no
disrespect eitinr to the iltnioe or to its officer—it

Mr. Spriker, unit ilisching.ti nut or the custody of

The Prisoner was then called in, and reprimand-
ed as follows :

,

the Manse of Loirds, that the Jmiges should lie
summoned to attend the Flonse, for the purpirm
