S:r TIMM Sli TUMTON wished, before they did so,
to make id remark oe Iwo upon what hod passed on
the iast night. tie was sensible it was irreolar to
observe ou the evidence in this stage of the busi-
ness, and therefore would simply put a ipiestion-to
the Right Hon. Gentleinan• (Mr. Pereeval) oppo-
site to him. When he was making his statement
of the different SWIM advanced by the Doke of
York to Mrs. Clarke, he seemed to do so as a part
of the case oh his Royal Highness. If dn.; were so,
he submitted to his consideration, whether it would
not be rght to call evidence to their bar, for the
purpose of substantiating those facts, if it were in-
tended to remove any prejudices that might exist
on the subject?
Mr. l'ivactrat. reminded the House he had
stated that he had then witnesses in waiting, who
were ready to prove the delivery of the vsrous ar-
ticles he Lad stated to Mrs. Clarke. With respect
to the dilferent sums of money allc.zed 'to have
been advanced to :on% he had proposed that it should
be referred to a e..lect Committee to report thereon,

Sir Teiustas TCRTON said, it was riot satisfacrory

Mr. YearaVAL said, he had not stated he had

Upon motion, Colonel CiCtIIDON was ordered to

Mr. WH:TSIIVAD, previous to the House ping

General GASCOToa wished to know ohciher the

they should finish in airy acimoiethle time, they
might proceed with it.
An Hoe. Member, whose name we could net

Lord Helens' PETTY declared he hail so often

self into a Committee of the whole limier, to cm.-

Mr. Johnston was then desired to be called in.
Mr. Wiwi-Rocco begged, that b: Lore olio pro-

understood was from the post yeeco, and brought

principle, that they ought, in every instance, have
the beat possible evidence the nature of the ease
would admit of, but here they were about to ex.,-

they called the wituess in; however indulgence
was due to the Duke of York, yet he would ask
them would others he allowed the same, if it were
their case. Oae or two irregularities had occurred
already, which, except extreme delicacy interfered

In one instant. •, Colonel Gordon had been suffered
to pull out of fi di pocket a parcel of letters for the
purist:we of comparing them with the note it, ques-
tion. On the other forty or fifty lettuce had
been put into the hunt s of Mis. Clarke, to say
whethes' they were her ram* and she was

when those had come ant of the po,,,bion of Cant.
Sandell. W 34 it but fair and reasonable that
she took them on herself she should be taloned to

certain*: Whether any adihtioos or alterations had
been made ite the body of them ? Passing over,
therefore, these two;improp►ieties, they were going
t•, adopt a third still wore lariu., they were going
into ►vidente that was not in itself admissible, and
whish, if tali:tat:xi, would weigh nothing in their de-
For these reasons, if the questioh ttliauld
be pat upon it, heabould certainly vote against it.
Afr. PERCEVAL explained the course of proceed-
i'l.4 to the Committee ; on the last 'sight, after the
H•mse had resumed, and hut very few Itleiabers
bad remained, on Lion. Member, not Una present,
had coinear..l the note in question with the two
letters a•l•nitted to be of the Duke's hand-writing,
aril hell:ill heed struck with what appeared to him
in the formation a/certain letters in
' the note, which gave it the appearance in his mind
of an imitation, awl not an origival. These sus-
picions he had communicated to others, and they
. see•ned to tl•etu to have great weight ; and it was
• thotOtt sailissuhle to follow the matter up. All
the Members coold not inspect and compare them,
and sn it was thought ads isable to call in others
who should examine anJ give their opinion on
them. If this were a case of a trial 'afore a Jury
of twelve mete, they could have individually in-
s;itteted them, cud formed their opinion for them-
sclves ; bat drat was impossible to be done here.
With respect to the legality of this mode of pro-
ceeding, it had certainly liven admitted at a trial
at bar; and though it had been overruled after-
•, ' stems, that was, in the opinion of a single Judge;
• erhieli, hoe/ever respectable. might not be stip-
. posed to outweigh that of four Jaile;es. Where
doub.s, therefore. were fo IPi exi.t, it had been

• tie/light actetaattle to make use of this mode, in the
present inetatice, and at eordingly tVitneesee were
procure.: to iuspect the ;ripen. NVith tweet to
• the obsecvations of the Mon. Gentlemen, he
eertaialy thought it hard that irregularities had
been eft-nitwit ; they had not been obverted
Whet they arrived ; if the objection bud been taken
at the time, Colonel Gored.* would have put his
papers up a4aiu its his pocket, and then he would
have given the beat testimony iu his power. The
nest ousietvatious is respecting the preventing Mrs.

the one case, it was that •df a stranger called to

; end this was the constant practice
e Courts of Law, where Witneesee ware never
en;stred to peruse the contents or papers they
wee. celled to 'Tidy, and therefore there had not
beer any irregularity in this mode of proceeding.
If, newest, any parts of these letters should appear
denbusul, and be attempted to be observed on, it
would he bns right she slikielil have an rapport •ty
of set tug teem, for the purpose of admitting or
• denying, before they were taken as fact ; and is the

of the wise and Ailoroirk (Natio,. of NIG Speaker,
as wholly epee ;OA us any Member of that noose.
He had gees ttrectious that they should be
eitsiteined seestrately, and had likewise cautiknied
them Against divulging the effects of their inspec-
tion, omit they should come to give their evidence
at the Bar of that House.. a caution he hopen und
trusted they had inviolably observed.
Mr. Walk raIIEAD, in ex phonation, declared be slid
not in the least allude to the Hon. ticutlentan ue
what he lied said. neither did he mean to cast the
slightest imputation ots Colonel Gordon, but merely
used that instance us an argument against their

Lord iJIAVITONE offered sortie eleservations on
the mode attempted to be pursued in offeriag
this evidence. The known principle was, to nekton
to the beet testimony in their power; turd ou this
s.kbject they had received the most positive testi-
moue. (By whom, woe relied front the other side of
the Ifo:sse,l by Mrs. Chute; and he had no doubt

likewise fists' more %stemmed who had spoken ins to

when they had such evidence, they ought not to re.

Lordebip likewise stated the report of a ease of li-
bel, Jackson' o. Cator, tried at Maid-ton.,
*serous 3lr. Germ,' 40 Counsel for the perste-
eutor, had offered the same evidence as that
offered now. and which was resisted by Lord
Elleuttorongh, then Attorney-General, who was.

on that oceesion, noticing the ease of Bisset and

the subsequent case of Pitt and Carey, wherein
Lord Kenyon lied rejected it; and it the seine time

to tee Jury. Upon this agreement, Barns. flatboat

from the respinenbility of the quarter from
which lie had it, Mr. Parke, it might tie relied our,
mid it was this : It basin bow discovered that

the reeseseutor had brought down a nuinker of
clerks to prove the libellous paper, by the similarity
of hand-writiag between that and other paper, of
the hand-writing of the Deferielaut; the latter had
also subpeened u nuMber of respectable wituasses,
to negative the libellous paper as his, from the
same source of information, uainely, the shall:l6,y
of hands; but this became unnecessary, by the re-
jection of such testimony in the first instuner.—
This, therefore, lie hoped would make them weigh
well before they admitted the evidence now offered.
Mr. Ileaeseonn supported the sort of evidence
proposed to be adduced, as, even according to the
arguments of the llononrable Gentleman opposite,
there was no saying but what it might bear as much
one way es smother.
Mr. W. SMITII said, that when the Ilonourable
Gentleman (just sat down), on the other aide of
the House, had pt:mted out to him a very material
difference in the two hand-writings of these letter,
which appeared tis be by the Duke of York, lie
(Mr. Smith) undoubtedly expressed a concurrence
in that opinion, as to there icing a very material
diffi.rence. IVlien this mode of exa ttt i t mtion was
decided upon, he certainly knew there were many
inconveniences likely to arise, he being convinced
that a commission t• examine upon it would have
been the mast advantageous proceeding; since,
however, that line had been adopted, he could not
help tlookingg that nothing could be more improper
or ohj-ctionable, than the laying down one rule of
proceeding in a ease of this kind, where the Duke
of 1 ork was the person accused ; and another in
that where the conduct of a person of inferior
rank was to be inquired into. These cases ought,
in every polio of view, to be the same. If the
Doke of York were not to be treated as any other
subject, he thought it was a great argument for
not putting his Royal Highness in the high situa-
tion he now held, and, in short, no one of the
Royal Family ought to hold any public situation
whatever. Ile thought, that if the House were to
carry on any thing of a judicial proceeding at all,
they might to have a right to examine upon oath
as much as the other House of Parliament had,
and he hoped to see the time when that would be
the eve,. He believed it was a privilege which
crept into the other House, inerely because they
were sometimes sitting in a civil or judicial
capacity, and he saw no remains why that same privi-
lege should not be extended to the House of COILI
1110::A. Ilium the present occasion they had, by
the Lest means whatever, endenvoured to obtain
the truth, II calling witnesses acquainted with
the Duke of York's hand-writing, and if they
culled others, he thought it would be merely a
matter of opinion, and that the members must still
all decide for themselves, in order to ii,certaiu whe-
ther the note in question was or was uot of the
Duke of York's hand-writing. There appeared
to him to be a great mistake or confusion iu the
general reasoning epois this subject ; but there
were so snany Centimes) learned in the Law in
that House, competent to decide that !gala, that
he should nut tally mach tip op the subject, but it
struck him that the tint question put to witnesses,
under such er*.:urnstances, in Courts of Justice,
was, ee Have you seen the person write:" and the
witness answering that he has, was supposed to be a
move ei•mpetent judge that, if he bad not; for it
must tome to be u mere comparison of writing....
Now what couvioced him of the fallacy of such a
mode of proof, was, that im Hon. Gentleinass was
called upon last week to give his opinion as to Sir
Horace Mann's hand-writing,' and, on being sheers'
two papers. that Gentleman was convinced that one
1-tier was of his hand-writing and this other was
not. Ile (Mr. Smith) had the curiosity to lurk at
these two papers afterwards, having beets told by
the Hon. Gentleman himself that one only of
these letters was of the Hon. Ilaronet'd hand-
writing: yet he should have said, upon his oath,
that the second letter was so likewise, the only dif-
ference apparently being caused by its having lieeu
written with a different pen, or, iii other words, the
one better and the other worse. The Jewel: of
hesitation which the persons called to the Bar up-
sot this point evinced, did, in his opinion, do them
more honour, than if they had stated it positively
to be the hand-writing of the Duke of York. when
they had only two short lines to judge from. re-
/rat Vantaia was nievely all which could be said
about it, end he did not know why they were
to be bound up by any strict rules or evidence,
when they were allowed to do many things
in that Kinse„ which were not done elsewhere.
In the preseiit case opinions had been al ready. given,
which uere thought to be the lost, arid they were
uilling to take some means of adding snore or less
to their own opinions. so es to enable them the
better to decide than probably they otherwise
could do. If the House were to direct themselves
by their men proceedings, he could see no relearn
why other M itiies..es should not be allowed to form
a judgment by comparison, as Col. Cordon bad
done. It would he a technical reason, for such a
mode or procedure did not appear to be an irrelpi-
!salty in substance. however much in form. As to
Mrs. Clerke's not beiser allowed to read over the
letters which were sheen I er, to prove the hand-
writing. and which was said to lie improper at the
time ; he could sea: no iluerouriety iu it, as a [Jer-
boa looking over * writing might see many things
which it was impossible they could have said or
-written. In short they might ace sufficient cause
to think it was not the hand-writing of the persou
they might otherwise suppose it.

Mr. BRUME BATIIVIGT agreed with the lust
speaker, as to the propriety rf examining the wit-
iiss.ses proposed la be brought forward to give a
judgment upon tl:c comparison of Imnd-writings.
Ile waver heard it objected to ill soy C 1,4
Law ; uu.l, indeed, he thought it was the common
practice, but he had to rant that the proceedings
of this Cosumitter bad, in wally cases, exceeded the
hounds of legal evidence. The present case was pot
like any of those that hail been cited Ali haring oc-
curred in Courts ot Lam. It had lis:co raid. that Mrs.
Clarke, (of whose evidence lie should fur the pre.
scut forbear giving any opinion), and the other
Witnesses called as to that 'mhos. had all
of them proved it to be dust of his Royal High-
la •S; but he conceived that the only leg.rt question
which existed in the ease, via. " Do yon believe
that to ha his Royal Highness's lunial.wri!ing." had
been past te noise of them, except General Brown.
rigg. Ile apprehended it should certainly lava
been put to all of them, but it oar, perhaps, their

confidential situations that precluded such a quer •
non. Au lion. Gentleman examined oiethat point I
had said there wei a shade of different.* Which led
him to disbelieve that the mote was written by the
same hod as the two letters. It then could not
be argued hut that it was a qtie4tion which re-
mained doubtful, and therefore they should cer-
tainly tale that evidence which would lead them to
form an opinion, although it were merely conjec-
tural.
Mr. Bit %ND expressed himself astunisheil at
many of the objections which bud hems taken to this
' evidence, as he differed front must of them. It was
true, that it was now ruled in Courts of Luw, that
that sort of evidence was not generally to be ad-
mitted ; but in much a case of evidence he thore:it
it would be competent even iu those Court', Ile
could not help admitting, that a comparhem of
hand-writing, by peeems accustomed to make such
companions, might enable the House to form
a inure correct judgment than it otherwise could
do, and upon these grounds he should vote for this
witness being examined.
Sir SAMUEL 11011 ILLY said, that certainly the
I Melee were not bound by the rules of aint:awe in
Courts of Law, for they were I,et smithy to eiealdisli
facts, but they were to get the opinions of ethos.
It was extremely difficult, however, to cela eive
how that evidence was to hear upon the point iu
question. Itwus a point °flaw, as well established
as any in ‘Vesturitister Hall, not only that such
evidence was not admissible, but that it would be
most dangerous were it Otherwise. The decision
in the ease of Rim,* v. Graham caused great ularni
in the profession; but it tweed out that the trial
at Bar, which war thought to have settled the
cause, was reversed by the Judge at Nisi Prins ;
and it could hardly be coaccived, that that would
have been the case, had the learned Judge not been
convinced that the law was already established upon
that point. There was Mailing so important to
determine, us that of hand-writing; be understood
the witnesses now to be culled were to be exusniued
as to whether or not these three letters, on a com-
parison with each other, were written by one and
the same person ? Could tiny man pretend to say
that a person looking at a piece of writing, without,
haring seen the iedisidual • previously write. wee
capable of judging' of his hand-writing ? It was
well known, that hand-writing assumed different
appearances nu different occasions, from various
circumstances, and, amongst others, by its being
written with a good or bad pen. If a comparison
of band-writings were proper, why had they not
had recourse to it at the first, and not at the last.
Upon the whole, be could not think that it was
either proper or necessary to admit the evidence
of persons ecmparitig this scrap of paper with other
writings, so as to establish this important fact against
his Royal Highness, that the note was of his hand-
writing.
Mr. Breesroan, in explanation, said, that all he
had proposed was, that the three pieces of paper
should be put before the Witnesses, so as to as-
certain what each of them thought en the subject.
The As roaeir-Gcsietee argued in support of
this evidence. He) said, that the case alluded to
by the Learned Getitleiaan on the opposite side
was not perfectly in point, for the opinion which
Lord Ellenborough gave upon the trial ut Maid-
stone could not be urged as his sound opinion, as he
wassicting as advocate fer one of the parties, i a man-
I which he deemed most beneficial for his client.
That opinion, therefore, given under such circuit'.
amours, could not be taken us an authority de-
livered from the Bench. He Legged leave to
observe to an Hun. Gentleman opposite, that the
brat question pit to u Witness on such occasions,
was not, whether he had ever seen the person write ?
but it was, whether he had been in the habits of
correspondence with the party I fur that *hewed
Ile -t have frequently seen the hand-writing he
war called on to prove. The question before the
Committee was, whether they should receive any
assistance in forming their opinion, as to the
genuineness of this letter, by the evidence of-
fered? and as they had in many instances al-
ready departed from the strict rules of legal
evidence, he saw no reaom why they should not
assist themselves in Makilig up their minds by
every meal's in their power. If so, was it not
proper to have the testimony of persons whose
business had been to compare writings together,
and detect forgeries ? Such persons were surely
more competent to form a correct judgment upon
such matters, than they themselves ware, and upon
that ground lie should be inclined to hear them
examined at the Bar.
The questiou was then pat and carried, with se-
veral dissentient voices, but without a division.

Before recalling Mr. Johnttnne. of the Post-
office,

Lora FOLSSTONE stated to the Committee,
that he had just they learned that Mrs. Clarke was
indisposed, and could not andtlid ; he should there%
fore pmpow calling as a witness to this fact,
Dr. Nletealfe. Physician, who stated, ou the in-
terrogatories of the Chairman, that lie had been
attending Mrs. Clarke, and that he found her state
of health such as to preclude her attendance ar the
everting. Cposi being asked if he could
form soy of nision when Mrs. Clarke's health would
permit her to attend, lie answered in the course of
two days.
