ready to admit, that if the King he capable,
the two Houses earnest legislate without his an-
tbority ; but if he be incapable, we have no
tether means of legislating. The common pries-
ante end view of the matter is, not to legislate
parriaily, if you can legislate generally. It yea

either pursue that mode of legislating, or du no-

we have then the eat sf ici ion of knowing, that OW

come to that coarse of proceeding which hears the

tev.--I defy any of your Lordships to state a single
instaact, where a power of this nature was ever
given or granted when the CfUVIls was full ; but
I can shew you numberless instances wnerein it
wee otherwise. As to Ilse precedent of 168 a,
of winch so much has been said. I do not think
it necessary to go into it at any length, hut
merely to observe, that it can bear ao analogy to
this present question. The I • aple of the present
is, that the Crown is NIL the Courts are ipso. sod
the State is alive in all its parts; whores?, isi
the Crown was vacant, the Courts were shut, eeeiy
situation was void. the King hail quitted the king-
dom, and carried the Greet Seat with him. Tli..t
I think is a pretty strong authority to chew of what
conseq.sence the Great Seal Is. You base, in fact,
no univer at all without it. Our ancestors acted
upon that occasion as wee thought expcatent
for the exigency of the case, as the Constitution
itself was dissolv.d. Another authority that has
been cited. is the precedent of the Irish Podia.

precedent. to the year Inou, when the Union of
both countries was adopted, these v-ere considera.
tons urged in Parliament fur that great and salutary
measure. I think, therefore, that under all cir..
cauastaaces, that Irish precedent is not one that
eon he relied upon in the present instance. 1 have
" hitherto considered oar present situation as appli-
cable to the precetleitt of the British Patliaineut in
2788-9 ; and if I point out all the stages of those
former proceedings, I'll widertake to say, that it
clears our course of all doubta that can possibly
exist. A month had then intervened between UM
Majesty's indisposition and airy proceeshoga hi Par-
mint. When Parliament wet, they referred it to a
Committee to search for precedents hearing any
analogy to that which then existed. The solijcit
was then most amply discussed in both lion.es,
and they admited the Resolutions which I shall
now propose. These proceedings then gave, if not
universal, at least very general 'satisfaction. Upoo
?vb. ad, Parliament was, in lytig, opened by Com-
mission under the Guest Seal. That was during His
M 'jet. ty's indisposition. and in the middle of that
Month His Majesty recovered. On the 11th of
March. Parliament was opened by it Commission,
signed by His \Neely himself; and I wish to call
your Lordships' yttrium.' to the speech of the Lord
Chancellor, recorded upon your Journals.”—[Here
Lord Liverpool read part of that speech, which al-
luded to and confirmed the former 0,111(1E6.1011 and

to the Act of the Gth of Milne, providing for the

Act alluded to explicitly said. "Anil he it enacted,
that the Great Sent and l'rivy Signet. now in be-

give an order to the contrary?' How lung then
was the Great Seal to be cousidered effective?—
Why, simply, until an order to the contrary was
given by any successor to the throne—and there
was an end of the validity of the Grist Seal. Nor
was there a fiecesity for the Monarch to use it when
he was out of the kingdom—for the :!241 section of
the same Act •a)s, " Thnt he may use any seal
which he please-, and which shall have the effect of

ships wish any argument. The Resolution, how-
ever, he thought incomplete, and he would siiew
how it ought to be remedied; he would proceed to
state his Amendment, and he then would trouble
their Lordships with • few further ob ervations.—
The Amendment he was about to submit to the
House, would follow the last word of the Resolu-
tion before them, and has as follows:—" elsul until
the Houses of Lords had COM/110111. OpOIS a fell
and satisfactory pewf of the fact, have declared that
His Majesty is sofa,' reessere,l as to lie capable of

would rhea stand this-

fie thought that there could be no objection
made to this propowton. It had been agreed, that
the two houses of Parliament had a eumiwteitt

the right to appoint was vested in the two Houses
of Parliament—while others denied that prin-

The Third Resolution as then mond by the
Earl of LtvLamm.

Lord HOLLAND stated, that he rose for the par- I
pose of moving an Amendment on this Resolution.
lu doing so, it was impossible nut to make souse
remarks on the manner in which the business had
been opeoed. In the first place, the Noble Earl
(Liverpool) had stated, that he wished the Reso-
lutions to be discussed on their own merits; and,
notwithstanding this assertion, he bad proceeded to
argue on general praiciples, no which he stared the
whole question to turn. Although he agreed with
WHIN of those principles, he did not think they bore
out the present Resolution. The Noble Earl had
said. that the political end personal capacity of ass
Nlejesty were distinct and ditferent—i-but he (Lord
Holland) did not think that that argument went to
sapport the principle contained in the
tie would not argue whether the distinction sus
right or not, but it was his firm opinion that the
Noble Earl had totally mistaken and misapplied
the principle. The Noble Earl stated, that the
Regent had, in several instances, been formed by
the Parliament ; hut, in et cry instance hr had ad-
duced, it would be found that the Regent had
been appointed by three co-ordinate authorities—
the Lords, the Commons. and some other existing
and properly recognized authority. If the Noble
Earl meant to say, that, by an act of the Legisla-
ture, • right to. the Regency could be given to the
meanest subject, he would agree with him.—lt was
that principle which seated- the House of Broom
wick ow the Throne, and to which the Country was
indebted for the freedom whii•li it at present en-
joyeter :But these were Addled' Parliament, and not
the mete offspring of the Houses of Lords and
Commons.—The whole question wee, whether that
strange anomaly, that singular instrument, speci-
fied in this Resolution, and proposed by the Noble
Earl, was, or was not, in Act of Parliament ? If
he were convinced such an instrument was an Act of
Parliament, even though it appointed as Regent •
person not of the blood royal, however much he
might disapprove the conduct pursued towards the
Heir Apparent, yet he would obey it, and look
upon the Regent an appointed as the Ruler
of the realm. But such an instrument he could
never look upon hi that point of view.—With
respect to restrictions, even in a full Parliamtot, he
never could agree to appoint a Regent hedged
round with Institutions. Whatever hi, feelings
might be with respect to the general authority of
the Crown, be could not accede to any temporary
restrictions. He stood there unbiassed by any im-
proper motive, as the friend and advocate of the
people of England; and he was decidedly of opi.
nton. that none but a full Parliament of King,
Lords. and COMDOIII., could do that act, which
was then sought to be performed by the two
Houses. The Noble Earl had asserted, there
was no instance of a Regent without restric-
thin ; but he would state, that though in eases
of infancy, or absence from the rodeo, the Lords
Justices, or persons appointed for the time
being, had been restricted, still the 'bowers of the
Crown were in full being--and could be ex-
ercised by the Monarch, whether in the kingdom
or out of it.—The second Resolution unctions
the principle, that the two Mures have • right to
provide for the vacancy in the Constitution ; and
what is the conclusion to be drawn from the Reso-
lution now before us ? Why. that the two Houses
being of theinseires perfectly capable off performing
• particular act. must nevertheless look for • third
party to support it. In what system of logic could
such a proposition be found? War it passible to re-
duce it to a syllogism' Ile (Lord Holland) might
as well say, a Beceuse I can walk firmly upon my
two legs, I must therefore make use of a stick or a
crutch :o assiat me." He wouldrwirh to hr clearly
unit...mood. The two Houses were said to be
competent to perform this act—they might concur
iu • proceeding in shape of Bill—and then they
were to direct • certain person or persons to
pot the Great Seal to tint Bill, which would
give those arrtiin person or persons a right
to give their assent to a Bill which lied pissed
she two Houses. The isruceediag, by Address. on

mended by Adder..., he had no difßeulty in declar-

any period of our history, from the earliest times
down to that of Md. He considered it hostile to
the Constitution, and not 'auctioned by an indivi-
dual proceeding of Government analogous to the
present state of affairs. A. to the case of 161311, it
was completely different in ell its views, in all its

who by Proclamation tined the day of their meet-

they ought to lend themselves to such a merle of
proceeding; for if the Kingly power could be
suspended without any inconvenience for a few
weeks, as stated by the. Noble Lord (Liverpool).
it might be suspended for a few months, and upon
