from Minimum, sod had stepped forward with their usual
generosity to the oppressed. He gave his Crs sup-
port to the motive.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did not wish formally
to refute Me woollen of the Hon. Member who had spokes
last, that Ministers had • deliberate inteetius to shed the
Weed of the people on the loth of August. He could
allow for feelings of fricodAip and warmth in those
who supported the Honourable Member's motion, bet
it was not a good argument to guide the House. He
went to the questiee of the right of she Crown to exer-
cise the preregative diseretionally au the dismissal of °Minn,
end that without assigning any reasons. He ridiculed dm
opinions whiek had been given of the rights of officers, ever'.
ally that of the Member for Durhain, who declared, that the
tenure of a commensal was like that • freehold. He did
not think the Howse would have a very gratifying
view of their. duties if they were to undertake inves-
tigation ism the abases of the several colablishmests,
ow soy ease brig promoted to which Ministers were nut pre.
pared with a teenier ease. He insisted on the necessity of
the Crows hotting peremptory power of dismissal over
the Officers of the army. There had been is the last
Mu yeses time bushed officers dismissed by the Ochs, with-
out any reams assigned. Why bed the nose of justice
never induced the Honourable Member sad his hind'
to move on behalf of those officers, or of any of them ? H.
pars the epithets of Mr. Erskine on the ditty of a soldier,
who had said en est occasion, " Every one who goes into
the army, goes with the condition of being subject to
dismissal without reasons being assigned fur it. All
MS pay, and the expense, of his commissions, are for-
feit. Every man who goes Into the army, enters it
basting these to be the conditions of his service."
He defended Ministers from the imputation of seeking to
molest Members who might happen to differ from them
bet if they had such an intention as charged, they could
' sorely have got a better opportunity thau that furnished by
tbe ladiseretion of the Gsltant Member. He ridiculed the
propositiva of the Honourable Member fur the House to
embark in in inemiry of arch a set ore, and satirised the ma-
terials of reddens likely to be produced from she other side.
