ern va:im of the ptivileges of the House. As Sheriffs

'or Magistrates. this nu their indispensable duty,
and they engirt to .liaires been prepared for every
act that could tome in conse-queuce of whot they
did. But, ieseead of this, the House found that
they true out at ell prepared for the warrant which
issued through their influence. 3 hey did not !now
how it was to be executed. How could they an-
swer for loot being anteriorly tied foreltaild-provid-
ed, foreseeing, as they must have threaten, the con-
sequences, fi oin the description of the person they
had to deal with, and the probability of having to
use force. There nas, throughout, a lamentable
want-of foresight. Others might question the ef-
ficacy of the warrant, he never had a doubt upon
the subject. The warrant was a committal in ex-
ecntim of • person already adjudged guilty of an
offence. There was, therefore, with all due de-
ference to the etonstitutioual knowledge and abi-
lities of his learised Friend (the Attorney-Gene.
nal) no need to seek in analogies for the law on
this subject. They stood on the law of Perlis-
went, and on the reason which was the foundation
of that law. It was, therefore, that, in the Speuker's
warram, they called on all Sheriff., &e. to aid and
uspist in its execution. It ass not ou the Sheriffs,
&c. of Loudon or Middlesex, alone, on whom
they called, but of Cornwall, and to the remotest
parts of the kiugdom, where aid might be necesoary.
There could be no doubt, then, of their power to
break open doors, in the executiou of a warrant,
which stood on three grounds. He did not
mean to impute blame to his Learned Friend,
but those who had it in view to take steps for the
preservation of the Privileges of the House, ought
to have been prepared to enforce their orders. In-
stead of this, it appeared on their Minutes, that, till
within twenty-four hours of the execution of the
warrant, even in this greet and pressing exigency,
they were not prepared, nor did they know whether
they could execute it or not.—(Hear, leas./—
Could they then have confidence in such Ministers
as these ? Could they entrust the protection of
their rights or any valued privilege iu their hands?
He did not wish to throw any impediment in the
wejlof the present motion, but be could not think
of giving his rote, without stating his opinion of
the strength and validity of the warrant, and de-
claring to the people, that it was owing to the nor
fortunate mistakes, imputable to individuals, not to
the want of strength in their privileges, that they
!Lod been brought into question. These pnvilegrs
were granted to enable than to maintain their sta-
tion as the third body in the Constitution, and
whatever might be the errors of the present Mini-
sters, or any other set of men, they could net be
Unwired or disputed, without overturning that
Constitution.

Sir Joni, A wsTauTitee rose to state to the House
what he thought to be the duty of every Member
of Parliament on this occasion. lie never enter-
tained a doubt as to their privilege of issuing the
',sorrow, or as to the 'nude of carrying it into exe-
cution ; tt was therefore that he blamed those who
entertained doubt►. where he himself had none.—
But because he thought the Right lion. Gentle-
men opposite mote o► less capable of administo;ring
the Government of the country. it did not follow
that he would give up the Government itself. It
was fit list the Government should be supported ;
.anti though those at the heed of *Weirs did not con-
duel diem in the best manner. yet. when the quire-
Uuti Vl44*, whether they should have a Government
at silt, or uot, be could not hesitate a tnomeot in
his op' . IVbenever it came to that piesi, it
was the duty of every man to support the Crown
and the Constitution of the country. as established
by low. These being his opinions. however he
meld aniniadsert on tine conduct of Ministers. he
warned theta not to impute to him any hostile mo-
tive to the Gove►noieni, of which they wege the
krvant.. lie considered them as incompetent to
conduct the affairs of the country. It wits not to
soy of them individually that he objected in point
of talent—(a luegh)—hut. altogether, they were
1114 tit to b.! entrusted with the counsels of the na-
tion. With respect to the present question, he
agreed with the lion. Gentleman behind him (Nir.

course fur the House to pursue. to notice a letter
sent to their speaker, under the circumstances. and
for the pdrposie the letter before them evidently

him to look to the unjust and impolitic views of the

In the lin • of conduct he had tisk. is or

4ohielt presented themselves, lie was by no means
electing the cosier course. But lie saw that the
rinse was arrived which others only supposed to 1w
approaching. lie then saw whit Gentlemen oppo-
site now tiekoiowl.dged, however they might think
his emstructiou of the letter harsh, that it was a
resistance and defiance to the Ilow•e of Coamtoott.
lie took the more difficult course of proceeding,
and Gentlemen, who thought his view of the Hew.
Baroart'a coudatt, at that period, uticaodid, were

hoer ccnvinced, by this see and letter. and all his
subsequent conducts that it was well-founded and
just. Under three iespresaisna Government reset,
and acted us he trusted a Britieh Government would
always act, with respect to the laws, and never to
interfere with the laws till necessity compelltd
them to do so, to take care of the public security, end
to see that the country should not be endaintered.
Would any Gentleman. who knew the liberty en-
joyet: by a British subject, say, that it was in the
poser of any Government to prevent such scenes
as had lately takeu place? Could any foresight,
any preparations, aril precautions, any measures
be adopted, by whien an armed force should be
ready in every street of this vast metropolis, to pre-
vent the breaking of windows, or even the confla-
gration of house., or the assassimet ion of individuals?
—(Hrar,hear.)—No ! no! such interference rould
nut take place, without exposing its authors to the
charge of oppreaviun, military tyranny, and u de-
sign to trample on the liberties of the people.—
Wear, /veer.)—lt was the duty of Government,
all that they could do, or could be expected of
them, to are where elisorder wa, beginning, to
check it there, and preserve the peace. 'there had
been no neglect on the part of Gove.iinient in this
respect, and whenever e Civil Magistrate saw it
'necessary, the military acre ready to obey his &re-
fiend. Thus secured, a hatever feelings he might
have fur the injuries inflicted on individual sufferers,
he never fur a moment entertained a fear for the
safety of the natioo, and preservation of the Consti-
tution. He never entertained a fear, because he
knew, that if tumult rased even its most formidable
head, Government had aken means, and were ready
to crush it. As for the question, with regard to
the Serjeant's execute g the warrant, it was most
unfair to charge Ministers with hanging in doubt
as Ito the proper mode of performing that duty.
The fact was, they time not called on to decide the
matter at all, or consider, as Ministers, how it
might be done. Had it been in discussion in the
House, before the warrant was issued, lie would have
had no hesitation, as a Member of Parliainesit,
to give his opinion. that they had a right to break
open the door. But when a person, executing en
important duty, doubted the legality of his cum-
mission, it because necessary to defer giving an opi-
nion, or offering to centred one who acted at his
own peril. There was something to be observed,
too, between the Gentlemen opposite, sad Mi-
nisters. They formed their judgments at dif-
ferent times, and in very different situations,
Gentlemen opposite were now !giving their opi-
nions, after the affair was past ; without responhibi-
lity, and with all the composure they would dis-
cuss au abstract point of science. The argument
now was, whether, while these troubles existed, and
Jaeger was threatened, Ministers might not have
exceeded the law, with a view to the gestsral pub-
lic weal ? In his opinion it would have been un-
justifiable to interfere with a legal officer, acting
under another constitutional authority, in the die.
charge of his dutv.—(Heer.)—With re.pect to the
present motion, he entered into the views and Con-
sideration of several Hon. Gentlemen opposite, Ile
thought that going to severity would be inexpedient ;
but hetweeh severity and no notice there was a middle
course, which he leave to recommend to the
HOU!. To do :I:trues:upon this letter was n very
equivocal way of corou'ring their dignity. They
ought rather to me-:t fairly what was opposed to
them, without shri ',king, and deal with it firmly
and temperately. In the situation in which the
writer of the letter was now placed. it was not ne-
cesitary to visit his offence with severity, nor would
it be right to pass it altogether without notice. He
had proposed his commitment. (A laugh foss
the Oppositiutt). He had supported the motion
for his consninmeat on a former letter, a little
more guarded in its expression than the last, though
with the same tendency. and for the accomplishment
of the same object. Phis letter lie would consider
as a proof to dispel every doubt from tie breasts of
those who were not Convinced of the design of the
former. It was an eggravatiou and rispetitiou of the
offence for which punishment was already inflicted.
%Vitt' there views of the matter he would have to
propose a Resolution, as an amendment to the pre-
sent motion, to this effect :

Speaker, was a kith aggravation of hie former °Beam

proceed further upuu this Letter, at this time."

lie conceived this would be a better mode of
disposing of the Business, than Not to notice the Let-
tr.r at all, not only its more consonant to their dignity
ut present, but as the matter might be again taken
up hereafter, if circumstances rendered it necessary.

guments used s4unist the tam for criinniit-
itie.it ? Besides, what reasons could Mamie him to
expect any resistance 1%0.1141 be used ? For alter he
had seen a stateineist, under the hand of a Gentle-
man, that he did not dispute the power uf that
House to commit its own Alemherr for breach of
vile„.,e, he did not apprehend the Hon. Mem:at
would have resisted. It had also been ellrg d, that
all the calamities which had happeuiiiiuthe spire of
the four fast dire were to he attribuied to His Ma-
jesty's Milliliters, because they had slot intuit :ip their
minds onthe subject of breaking open the Baronet's
dour. The Finn. Gent. opposite ought to recollect
how the fact stood. Was not the Serjealit ;
the
house of the Hon. Baronet twice on fliday ? It
was not his wish to press this observation, or any
other, as any load of blame upon the Se: jeasit.
But when it was said, if the breaking of the outer
door had been determined on &Amer, there would
not have ensued any of the subsequent mischief,
it ought to lar remembered that even an entry was
made on the Saturday, sad the warrant was served
upon the Hon. Baronet. Although it had been
made a matter of reproach to them that the warrant
was not executed loaner; yet he could not bare
mud* his di ennui) sooner, wheat he had to feral
it upon analogy. li•t trusted it would not he un-
sullied to any infirm ty of his—it could not be
imputed to any ignorance of the law ; fur it had
been said by the Hon. Gentlemen opposite, the
few wa ; slot concerned—but he hoped it would not
be attributed to any infirmity of his, thut he did
not arrive sooner at hie conclusion. Had not the
Speaker great doubt upon the question ? And
where tle•ry were no precedents, and he was
bound to proceed on purliamentary grounds, by
analogy only, it was not evident how he could
have arrived earlier at his decision. When the
Honourable Gentlemen opposite (Mr. Whitbread)
spoke of no doubt existing gn his own mind. he
said no mere than what he would have expressed
himself, if the execution of the warrant had been
left to him (the Attorney-General.) If the House
examined the conduct pursued on this occasion.
they would not perceive that any ground of doubt
was alleged in the first stage of the proceeding.—
Even oat Saturday, the Hoe. Baronet himself had
not started a doubt against the legality of
the worreut be egg executed, for the Sasjeent sea
admitted into the house twice.—He, (Sir V.
Gibbs) had been applied to, by the Serjeant. fur
his opinion its a Counsel, and he felt it his duty to
advise him, with due consideration, of the situation
in which that officer was placed. He acknow-
ledges' he felt a desire, that the warrant should be
executed, and would not have hesitated in doing it
himself, but his advice to him was to a third per-
son, whose situation hr was bound to take into snow
sideratinn. lie appealed to the Idolise, how Minis.
tees could he to blame in the whole of this pro-
ceeding? If they would consider this not theense of
Sir F. Burdett, but of an officer of Ilia Majesty's
Onvernment, whom the House had ordered to be
committed to prison, and for that purpose had issued
their warrant for his arrest; if that officer had
eluded the execution, by shuttiug himself up in
the manner of the Honourable Baronet; it might
have involved some doubt respecting the pro-
per mode of carrying the warrant into force.—
It was not part of the duty of Ministers to advise
the officers of that House, in what meesier they
should proceed to perform their duty. It had been
said by the Noble Lord opposite, that Millilitres,
In consequence of their delay in affording the ne-
cessary aid, had risulered themselves responsible
fur the ensuing censequencrs. The Noble Lord
had also accused them, and particularly his Right
Hon. Friend, of having refused to grant the neces-
sary aid for the enlorcemeut of the war. aut. The
defecce which he should set up against this charge,
ass a denial of tile faet.—(Hear.)—lndeed it
would almost appear AO it his Noble Freud had not
been present. The question for their consideration
was one, which. in his opinion, they could not lung
hesitate to decide ; it was simply whetlur there was
a force, and whether Ins Right Hon. Friend had at
any time refused ? To this point they had the evi-
dence of the Serjeant himself—wis being seised
whether he Lad applied to the Secretary of State
fur assistance, and what was the sienver which he
received ? lie bad said, that lie had so applied,

He concluded with a compliment to the Serjearit„
whom he declared to be the person he should like
to employ, in any case where personal courage, sod
Strict conduct, were essential.

Sir SAMUILL ROMILLY said, that he did not
wish the question should pass, without stating his
reasons for voting &nomast the amendment ; it was
not that he differed from those who thought there
was a gross impropriety in the letter to that House;
but, being of opinion, that the original letter, ad- i
drafted lay Sir Francis Burdett to his constituents,
did not amount to • crime cognisable by them.
He did not undert.k to palliate the conduct of Sir
Francis Burdett ; on the contrary, it was a mutter
of astonishment to him (Sir Samuel Romilly), that
he should he advised to try the question—nut by

hear Gentlemen say, with all the consequences be-

subject again, they would vote in the same way.
He would not take into consideration the lives lost,
nr the other train of evils and disadvantages that
followed upon that vote ; hut be would ark--
where was the dignity, upon allieli Gentlemen so
prided themselves, on this occesinn, and which
they were inclined to rega-d as a recompense
for all inconveniencies? Was it dignified to be
reduced to the necessity of acknowledging that
they would expel him, hut for the apprehension.
not that the rabble, but that the peaceful inhabit-
ants of Westininster, would return him again, so
much did they think that the House wad in the
wrong ? Many difficulties had occurred to him.
as to the execution of the warrant, which he
did riot think it .right us liana stated in. the-
former debate. Fla feared. that, by so doing. he
would have subjected himself to the imputation
of having suggested those acts which he only fore.
boded; it was sufficient that he spoke in general
terms, a ithout descending to particulars. From •
review of the whole case, the conduct of Minister.
seemed to have been culpable. (Soave Members en
the Tremors, soiled.) Gentlemen might smile if
they pleased. hut that would work so fresh con-
viction in his mind ; he should regard it as the na-
tural and easy resort of those, who relied solely
upon the influence of such inarticulate arguments.
Liaptain PAAASII said, however inarticulate his
arguments might be thought, he must observe. that
the Learned Gentleman opposite appeared but too
ready to assist Sir F. Bartlett in hoisting the stand-
ard in the country.

He begged pardon for what he had said. but se-
sured the House, that he did not like to hear such
sort of speeenes. when they were not wanting—fa

to be expelled, and was pure that he would nut be
re-elected by his constituents, when they courider-
ed the conduct of which he had been guilty ; and
that it wa. only to his own ambition he had aspired
—(a &sigh.)
Sir J•341:5 PULTENET said, thst he was now
more convinced than before, of the prorriety of
his vote upon the former occasion. He should offer
only one word, as to the conduct of Ministers,
whom hr vindicated from the charge of delay in
granting the necessary assistance.

Crptain P4RILER 11U41 Sir S. nallll.l.T explained.
Lord POILLHILITiII suggested a modification of
the wording of the Right Honourable Gentle-
man% amendment, by leaving out the word"aggra-
vation ;" this, hr hoped, would produce that nnani-
stiity nhieli way so desirable on the prevent occasion.
Ile would own, that, in his opinion. the word was
not too strong; but others might think so. No
language applied to the Honourable Baronet's con-
duct, however severe, was undeserved; and,though
lie (Lord Poraheyter) could not rally round the Go-
verument, to whose imbecility and indecision he
thought that all was owing, yet he would rally
round the House, soil it. privileges, and the
Speaker', warrant. It the evil., which thev must
all deplore, were orginally oning to the Honour-
able Baronet, the continuance of them was to I e
a... Jibed to the Gov-rmuent itself. lie (Lord
l'ofchrster) thought it iiecessary to advert to mime
expreraions in the yingidar speech of the. Attorney-
tit-nerd. Ile had said, that if the House coni-
mandril its Speaker to reprimand Sir Francis Bur-
dett, it would have no more efl.rt than if his owl
pertains were ordered to reprimand him.

the charge of usiscouduet was not merely toadied
to Ministers. Gentlemen had been pleased to attri.
bate part of it to another quarter, by which it was
soon and satisfetorily repelled. The whole care pros
ceeded from mistake ; to owe could hate sup.

What other Court bad a right to search a man's

the omission of the word aggravation would pro-
