MARRIAGE INDEMNITY BILL.
Upon the motion of the Bishop of lama, for
the second reading of this bill.
The Loan CHA NCEL Loa stated the clanger of so
frequently introducing into that "Uwe bills of this
description ; such a mode of proceeding had a
tendency to set aside the Act of Parliament relating
to marriages and be certainly should not for the
future sanction any bill of a similar description,
but would wish the !louse to consider that it was
the last which should pass without his opposition.
The Earl of LAUDIMIALB thbo2traper to
make one observation upon what axpeass-
ed by the Noble and Learned Lord. that he could
not approve of that assumption which the Noble
and Lcarned Lord had attached to his own future
conduct upon this measure—and be thought it
would have been more consistent to have intimated
his intention to repeal that statute altogether, if no
' remedial Measure were to be at au) time intro-
duced for the purpose of giving relief to many of
the severe consequences resulting from that act of
Parliament.

Lord llos.L•an concurred in opioian with his
Noble Friend (Lauder&le). and tatiusated, that
the statute alluded to was so defective, that it led
to all the COisfseqUenceil which rendered the passing
of such Bills ties:essary.

Lord Heist‘DALS spoke in praise of the statute
relating to marriages. He said, that he had ex-
peritvaceal, in another country, the elects of MU-
riagrs being consummated iu a different insianer.
and that any relaxation of this statute would lead
to the confusion of society. Legitimacy was, or
might be, of the same importance amongst the
lower orders of inazakisid, as it was amongst the
higher. Viewing that act as he did, the wisest pro-
vision being made in it Ihr preventiag all the evils
arising from a doubtful state of legititancy, he
could not help expressing his opinion, that those
Noble Lords who had intimated a wish fur the re-
peal of & statute so essential to our welfare, were
nut actuated by any love fur their country.

Earl STAXII-OPE--j row, and spoke to order; he

said the Noble and Learned Liird might. na7 Bad
au undoubted right to entertais hit ova orkiof,

; _ they.
feted from him in their sentiments, he had a• right,
it ssiis, etuttrtuy to thi standing orders of that
House, to impute to them bad motives. He as-
+urrd the Noble Lordf it was his personal respect
which alone prevented him front moving that those
orders be then read.

Tire Earl of Latiniuteana could not permit to
pew unnoticed the liberty the Noble and Learried
Lord had takes' of imputing to him and him Noble
mend bail motives, when they were performing
their duty :us Peers of that House ; such language
was not to be suffered. and- he deemed it ex-

treinely unpurhausentary.
Lurd ILLDESDA/.s observed, that he did not

knowLewas out of order, but thought that the
Noble Lords, in speaking of a Statute then in
force as defective, and that it ought to be repeated,
were speaking unparliamentary language, except
they hall said so upon a motion made for the re-
peal of that Act of Parliament.
After *time further observations by Lord Hot-
LA YD unit Ltrd ELLetsawasenst, and a persona
ruswaatiassmile ffilArintED Ks DALE,
The Earl of LAUbLUDALE wade some strong
eoinnieuts upou the disposition Si hewn by the Noble
and Learned Lord, and compared it with an in-
stance of a similar nature upon a former occasion.,

The Bill was then read a second time.
IN DICTMEhT BILL.
Upon the motiuu for the second reading of this
Earl 4TAwaure rose, and in a facetious speech.
which produced much laughter, stated. that the
Bill which *us now submitted to the consideration

of that House, was one of the grimiest importance
it was sue of the most mischievous tendency, and
one of the most pernicious which ever mine front
the House of Commons. Their Lordship's would
not he able to perceive that be much was to be
. -

appreheuded,froin its title, which was an imperfect
description of its nature, and therefore he must

proemit to inform them of its contents. The pnrav
ciple of this Bill went to destroy the trial by Jury.
and to alter very materially some of the first prin-
ciples of our ancient, and, lie must say, excellent
constitutions. It seemed most extraordinnaly, that
ins au enlightened age, when so many great and en-
lighteued men sat in the other !!nose of Buhr
meet, that time Representatives of the people,
those guardians of their laws and their liberties,
should permit a Bill of that description to be
brought in, arid pass their House without observa-
tion. The fact was, that it did pass ; and 'Deny
eminent men in that House had told him, they
did • not know, nor were they in the least aware of
its teadeney. It was not fur him to speak of the
forms of the other House in debate ; but theit
Lordships must know, that formed* it had been
the ettetoto for Committals to be appointed Us dm
commencement of the Seviiism, who afterwards at-
tended to every Bill brought into that noise. But
the present measure had, he was led to believe,
been smuggled through the House of Commons.
apd he thought it the duty of their Lordships to
attend to what bad been neglected by tbe Com-
:mons. He trusted their Lordships would deeply
- interest themselves upon a subject in which was in-
volved the existence of our revered constitution,
and that part of it which was the most valuable,
the common law of England. When lie expressed
his opinion upon this part of our constitution, he
was supported by the authority of all the ablest
and best lawyers this country had ever produced.
There never was founded a more aise system of
jurispriuleuct in any age, or in any part of the
earth, than the common law, when well understood.
It had been styled, by those great men who had
written upon it, the very quintessence of wisdom,
and as that Bill was its reverse, he must denomi-
nate it the quietessence of folly. Hie Lordship
here adverted- to those parts of the Bill which were
most objecuoniable. The Bill exibreasod, '* That
whenever any person' ahonld be charged with ally
°deuce, for which he or she might be prosecuted
lion indictment or inloi motion is His Majesty's
smut of King's Bench, not being treason or Moire.
and the sale should be mode appear, &c. that
the Juitge 'night issue hi warrant, and the person
be apprehended; and open his Whig brought before
such Judge, or a Justice of time Peace, Ise might
be hound with seveties is any sum mentioned in
the warrant, to compel his appearance, and if he
neglected to be hound, it then rendered him liable
to he imprisoned till be was bound, or discharged
by order sad any person so imprisoned, might be
tried by copy of the indictment or informal
being delivered to him or the gaoler, etc. by the
prosecutor, with a notice, that if he did not appear
within so many days, appearance and a plea of
Mot guilty ',mufti be entered for him, and he should
be tried in his abseuer as if he was present." The
Noble Earl implored their Lordships to pause before
they mode so greet an alteration is the law of this
country. It was against the &orient statutes of the
realm, and contrary to the oath taken by Jurymen;
and therefore if a man is his absence should ha tried
by indictment. how could a Juryman be sworn in
the nasal way'—'" you shall, will. and truly try,
and a tine deliverance make, between our Sovereign
Lord the King, and the prisamser at the bar."
Here the Noble Earl was interrupted by
Lord EttEssosouca ; wba observed. that the
Bill did not comprehend offences of such a erimi-
nal nature as felony, but only misdemeanours,.
a bere the actual pressmen of the dereadeot was or-
.
STAN 11101P11 traded that the /Coble and
Loomed Lord would use my that this bill did not gu
to alter the mode of trial, which, in the most Th..
tient, as well as is toodero times, bsd been Vow•
scribed by law. If that Noble and Learned Lod
meant to say so, be must contradict bun ; and
though be might pay little respect to his (the No-
ble Earl's) obvervetsons ; yet be most recollect be
was ins the preouto of greater setherits (point.

more extraordinary one than that mile by the

With respect to the measure now before their
Lordships, it particularly made an dis-

sewn was uppreliended, he might not he able to
Ana sureties, and then he must go to prison, and
there he might, though innocent, suffer more

Court of King's Bench would order hint to suffer
days. Besides every man was liable to be, in this
manner, rust iuto prison, upon the slightest suspi-
don, and for the most trifling Offence. Ile would
trouble their Lordships with an instance where pu-
Mslitrient the most serious might, under this ]fill,

he infieted fist conduct searcei) amounting to an
offence. There was a man, who, some yeurs.ago,
Made a great pot tical fermentation in this conntr?,..
He meant the noted John Wakes. One night, in
tlhe streets of London, there Were two link-heys,
sae of whom picked np a baud-bill, and looking at
it. (his name being said to his comrade,
" Jaek, tell us what is this, for, you know, 1 can't
read." When Jack was about to look ut it, op
Caine one of those men who were busied in pre-
venting the dispersion of inflammatory
who, seeing this paper in the boy's possession, took it
frees hinsoind haring read it, asked him how it come
into his hands? The boy replier;, I.e dill not know
*here it ranee from, but his brother Win put it into
his hands. lYpon this MU was laid hold of, and
carried before a Magistrate, who, speaking in his
Israel cm:sequential manner, asked him how he
came to circulate surh papers ? Mil did not un-

Armband the term eireOisie, and gave no answer.
Says the Magistrate, " What are you?"—" Please
your Worship, I'm what they call. an antiministerial
writer."—" You rogue, why you have before said
yen amid not read-, and now you call yourself a
writer."—" Yes, please your Worship, I'm one
that writes 2.5 upon Lord's coaches." His Lonl-
ship conjured that House to contemplate, that
given such an instance as that which he haul just
mentioned, might by this &II aneL: sad
cruel punishment. He thought all the poor people
of teal would be hostile to it, so would the
people of. if they w •re holiest; none
could be i.l faitaar ..: Oast hall, except men of pro-
party without principle. He would contend, that
at wit, in violation of those laws which had been
held sacred in ancient times, which bud been the
fritintlatiou of our glory and prosperity, and the in-
fringement of which ought to be viewed with ex-
tretne jealousy in the part of that House.
Lord Ifoeiuto intimated his wish to hear the
arguinents iu favour of that Bill, and particularly
from the !Noble and Learned Lord (Ellenbo
rough.)
Lord Eta.rnoosooom said, he mould not deem

it necessary to urge any argument in favour n
the Bill, until be heard some argument against it.
Lord HOLLAND then stated, that he felt Inane'
Stench disposed to give the utmost attention to the
Bill ander their l.ordships' consideration. For
this purpose lie had thought it his duty to make
himself as muds as possible acquainted with its
true neture and purport, at the seine time he fully
expected the Noble and Learned Lord to hare
stated those arguments which might have tended
to remove the objections he at that moment enter-
tained concerning the proposed alteration in the
juthiptudeare of this country. But a. those argu-
ments were refused him, he must, with the know-
ledge he possessed, proceed to give his opinion up-
on a Bill, which, he must agree with his Noble
Friend, was oat of the greatest importance. His
Lordship here eoinmented with the greatest
ability upon the inducement which appeared to
hare produced the measure now in question. By
former Acts of the present reign, it was deemed
nace..sary to alter the law, and make it more sum-
mary in regard to revenue eases. Now it was upon
this conveniency that the present Kin was sub-
mitted to that House for its approbation. But
welsh) airy man argue, that, because iu rases re-
specting the revenue, where, for the sake of snaking
the dialuniest part of the community contribute
their portion penally with the honest, and where
sows extra..irdilry regulations had been adapted.
totally derogatory to the common law of the land ;
therefore, merely on the ground of carrel:knee, we
were to hriug thi. principle into our general jaris-
proodence ? It would lead to 14 most dangerous in-
aeration upon the constitution. He was surprised
that those Noble Lords who were, from time to
time. making eateries against the smallest innova-
tions which affected any part of the Prerogative,
should not feel an anxiety in apposing this mea-
sure, which had a tendency to subvert our most
sacred rights. There were some Noble Lords, who,
if a reversionary pension were to be, prevented
in f,titure. immediately took the alarm. and then
they could see innovation with all its horrors ;
there would then be an end, in their opi-
nion. of the House of Lords and Commons.—
Although he aid not accord with those who thought
there never should be alteration, yet, in the
present instance, so creivineed was lie of the great
importance of preserving the common law of
the land from being entrenched upon, that as long
as he hail a tall 4. or a hand to raise, he wasild in
that House eudeavour to prevent its being violated ;
it was an old and venerable sanctuary, in which were
deposited all our valuable rights and liberties 10 a
Frye people. it would, become Noble and Learned
Lords not to tamper with the law, but to pay pro-
per respect to a hat ntipenrcil in the writings of the
snort eminent autlinrs. Nlatthew Ilale, in par-
ticular, had observed, that the punishment made

ether writer. cow:tures! with Sir Matthew, that the
gii,,4e or trial by Infennntiou was dime:crams to the
Fla.gra of the subject. and was to he a ateti..d over
yet' jealous eve. He thought their Loolships
blil do well to ronsider die lawir as well as the
riLts, soul tbis Bill tended certainly to draw an
iaritlioas distinction ; ante insisted in the most-rho-
'pima and powerful language, aunt it was ltalialg

to sets of ti noisy and oppression, and that it w

and bring aLont the destruction of the whole poli-

tical cur pone Mu.
Lora ELLENUOROUOII contended, that the Bill
would not nierute with increaieti ameritty upon the
:subject, but, on the coutrar):, that it was of a
milder natiare tt.ati the rteoguised law of the land
in criminal discs. If a bill of indictment were

found by a grand jury against an innocent party,
there were many difficulties in the wuy of redress.
The Malicious person preferring it was examined
in private before the grand jury, and they being
bound to secrecy, by their oaths, could not, by a
diselowure of the evidence, assist Inns in his suit
against the party by whom he was injured; but by
the mode now proposed, he would not labour
under this dissolvautage, as he would have ac-
test to the affidavits ou which the process was
grounded ; whether is the case of au informa-
tion by the Attorney-Geueral, or a warrant issued
by •st Judge of the Court of King's Bench. The
*lips of a Grand Juror, finding the bill, were sealed,
but an Attorney-General, who laboured under no
.itch restraint, would be proud to hare it in his
power to assist injured innocence. He saw nothing
unconstitutioruil, or tending iu the least degree to
eutrench upon the liberty of the subject, in the
measure. Every law that required something new
to be dune or omitted, was no doubt an inuovation,
the wisest law must be liable to that objection ; but
it did not therefore follow that it must be uncon-
stitutional. The severity of trying a man in his
absence, upon which the principal stress was
laid, and to which the weight of the objection,
in a constitutional point of view, was attached, did
tint really exist, and could not be entertaiuol, ex-
cept in consequence of inisunilerstanding the Bill.
In all cases, not being treason or felony, nothing is
more common than for the party to appear only on
Its trial by Attorney. It seldom happens, as must
be well known to every person conversant with the
practice of courts of justice, that the party indicted
for a mnidtmeanour is personally present at his trial.
Now the present Bill excepts cases of treason and
felony, and the party charged with minor oftener*
would sutler no greater severity on his trial than de-
fendants generally d!, iweorditur to the present prac-
tice. As to the I.i•-ction, that the process might
be sinned. ._:k.: that notice upon the gaoler ought
not to be sutiicieut, he did not see any weight
_ _

:a it. It would be the duty of those who had the
sidtinuistr4tion of the law, to protect it, as far a,
they could, from abuse; it was not to be expected
that we could arrive at perfection.
Lord ERSKINE said, that by the law of the land,
as it originally stood, no man could be held to
bail, in cases not treason or felony, until an indict-
ment was found, and even then a magistrate had
no right to hold him to hail unless he had jurisdic-
tion of the offence. This must be well kuowu to

the Learned Lords who supported the Bill, as the
constitutional law of the country. The power of the
Attorney-General to proceed by informatidi, with-
out any reference to a Grand Jury, was only ex-
ercised in cases of public libel, or breach of the
peace. It was also exercised under certain rules and
restrictions, by winch it was guarded from abuse ;
but to proceed in the same way on all private libels
and constructive breaches of the peace, was a very
different case, and must necessarily produce much
hardship to individuals. The house laws were an
i nom at ion 111)011 the constitution, and at the time of
their adoption were strongly opposed, as entrench-
ing upon the liberty of the subject. It was alleged,
in the Preamble of the Bill, that from the experi-
ence of their beneficial effects, it was expedient to
extend them to other cases ; but he did not consider
that a sufficient ground for the alteration of the
established system of jurisprudence. There never
was a period when the people submitted to great
privations for the preservation of their laws and
liberties with more chearfulitess than the present,
and therefore nothing should be introduced unne-
cessarily that had even the semblance of severity
at restraint upon those liberties. Unless then a
very strong case was made out—unless there was
some important defect that called for a remedy,
or some great evil to be guarded against, he should
not he disposed to extend the principle of the Ex-
uma Lass to the mild system of our jurisprudence.
Lord ELDON having left the woolsack, observed,
that though it might not he fit that the Bill should
pass whole and entire in its present shape, that was
no reason why it should not go into a Committee.
Parts of it might be objectionable—but if, as ap-
peared by the objections, it contained ■ great deal
of good, that was a reason for its going into a
l'ommittee, in which it might be moulded so as
to reject the bad, and retain all that was admitted
to be beneficial. Among the objectionable parts
might probably be the Preamble, which lie con-
fessed was not worded with as much accuracy as he
could wish, in order to convey his meaning. The
Preamble says, that " whereas the provisions of
certain acts, in certain eases, relating to the pub-
lic revenue, have been found beneficial, and it is
expedient to extend the same to other eases." Now
this has been argued upon as if it said that these
acts having been found beneficial, it is therefore
expedient to extend them in the manner proposed ;
, but that was a wrong construction. The Preamble
only meant that the principle being found be:flea-
, cial in the revenue laws, there was a presumption
that it was a good one. He would be as far as any
ins• from wishing to introduce say severity into the
present system of jurisprudenct —but he could not
perceive any thing of that tendency in the present
Bill.

Earl Stattuotot in explanation said, he gave the
Noble and Learned Lord (Eldon) vinegar ou a late
night, but he would now Rive him honey of his own
laugh.)---Fle then proceeded to state
that the doctrine mentioned by the Learned Lord
was contrary to some oriels judicial decisions.
Tke Earl of 11.1EDSIWALL contended that the
Preamble meant that the principle being found be-
neficial in the excise laws, it was there Are bene-
ficial to extend it to the cases proposed. No
laugtia4e, he cmild more dearly express this
meatiiii. and it world bear no other construc-
tion. Flis Lordship then proceeded to argue, with
hi. usual force, nalllikt the e‘tension of the excise
law', to the other pa is of the system of on/ jowls-
,iruiletier, when there was no apparent necessity-

for siuv thatle.
Earl ST iNHOrE, in e planation, that
l'er Leareard Lord tElJois; had admitted the Bid
to I defective ; and that, therefore, rival his toga
otattrutuit, it ought tv Le tej,:t.Lud.

Lord li.ott.vsn eonfoviel thit part of his ob.
jections had been removal by tier explanation that
had taken piece. lie had'emweited that the party
might 1w tried in his absence, and aithout notice
cf the proceedin3. aipiinst him, but if he was in
error, then his objection so far was done away.—
This, however, shewed the necessity of full and
mature discussion, when important measures of
this kind were brought forward; anti he trusted.
if this Bill was to pass, that care would be
taken to tnake it clear and explicit, and that no-
thing should be left %live and uncertain upon the
point to which he had alluded. Still, however, as
lie objected to the principle of the extension of the
Revenue Laws to other cities, he should give his
decided negative against the second readiwt,
Lord F.t.uo:: answered, that the Noble Lord
was certainly in error, O% by the Dili the party
could not he tried. without notice.
