Baronet bad been attended during his unparlia.
*watery and unfeeling conduct, by the brother of
the most notonotta tnutor (Arthur O'Connor) that
ever breathed. He (Mr L.) did not toy that Mr.

to tMnk so ; but. certainly, if suspicion attached

should, with the utmost care, be avoided. He cost-
eluded with saying. that he had some doubts re-
specting the legality of the proceedings of that
House, and concurred iu the Chuut.ellor of the
Exchequer's resolution.
Sir Jelin rOant. Most heartily agreed to the

Mr. fiumunson said, he should be sorry to
thought as undervaluing the powers of the I louse ;
his opinion of those powers had alws)s been the
same. He would beg lease to state the groutt4 or
his present vote. Upon the committal of Gale
Jones, be was firmly persuaded that rood' a measure
should not have been token. He WAS our of those
14 who voted for his (Gale J release from
',nano ; and he thought that such release was most
loudly sod imperiously demanded, when he con-
sidered that the punishment hail been ioentred by
IrelOOn of his (Gale Jones's) conduct lotion the oct a-
lio° of the escluaott of strangers from hcartii,r, the
debates in the Manse of Commons. The Honourable
Baronet wrote immediately alter to his constituents
!Ira the subject of this imprisonment. Ile (Mr.
H.) would not make any remark as to the temper
exhibited spoo the occa,ion ; a violent temper WS!.
bad one upon any occasion, and upon this there
might possibly have beau some precipitation and
• some passion. As to rallying round the Govern-
ment. he was rein'', to do so ; but, as to rallying
mad Ministers, it would be ridiculous and absurd.
No,- when Gentlemen talked of rillyiug, let their
eyes be directed to the measiire of Reform, lie
concluded with voting against the Right Honour-
able Gentleman's amendlneut.

Mr. Cutter's rose to explain. He thought it
moat prudent to oppose the consideiation of the
later, (ruin its haring been one of gross and dip.
graceful tendency. He did not coaceire that it
was at all Or to state that he had meant any per-.

social allusions. He lamented that the debite had

taken such a torn, hut found it his ditty to stand
in the Government ; this was his motive. however
digerati it might appear to G. ntlemeu. He me.
lkwawledgod that the precautions of Ministers upon
the late Gemara were extremely well directed. and
arliewed, that, twirler the same circumstances, he
would himself have acted in precisely a similar
misuser. He trusted that the electors of Webt-
isiestrr wield shortly see, without partiality, the
Ass. Baronet's conduct. if there existed no !ma-
lignity. he would agree to withdraw his mot '
Mr. WinTliagaD opposed the withdromog of the

Mr. Gootint said he did not consider the Right

Egresses conduct. What sould the people think
_ .

of the breach of premise to the fk.rjeant-st-Arms
The costotry Nei 111 ern means in that state of ohs-
affection wkiels. had bees alluded to—the very re-
• Arno was the ease I sad if any thing was done by
which the country was elevated, it was the work of
as able, sagacious and prudent Ministry.
Lord Cocoesis It said, that. with respect to Gole
Noes, he should not have been committed; and

with regard to Sir Francis Burdett. the House of
Commons bad no right to break iota his house.—
The expressions seed by the Honourable Baronet,
be acknowledged, were unlit to be used—perhips
improper, perhaps dieentious-i-but his arguments
were all fair and conclusive. The Noble Lord re-
membered. that, shoat seven or eight years ago, he
had himself resisted, as the Hon. Baronet had, and
there was no gyration as to the legality of the resist-
once. That the House of Common. should punish
for those deeds which were nut punishable in any
Court of Law, was right ; otherwise such a respou-
sibility was unprecedented and improper. With
respect to Wonders, he conceived their conduct
upon the occasion was prudent, and ...mid have
been unexceptioaable' had they not adopted that
last measure. which had drawn upon them so much
reprehension. tie would only make one more ob.
*creation, which was in contradiction to an assertiou
made, that the military were not engaged in the
execution of the warrant. Thu fact was. that there
were, at the time of the arrest of Sir Francis, two or
three military men amongst the foremost. The
House of Commons ought to have been ashamed of
adopting such a line of conduct ; hut the decision
of that House would have no influence upon the
opinion of the public..
Mr. B. BATHURST said. that what be had just
heard. had nothing to do with the subject before
the House. He bad to state that it had been given
in evidence. that the civil power had taken into
ceAtody the person of Sir Francis Burdett ; nothing
tad been said of the interposition of the military
force except by the Noble Lord ; whether the No-
ble Lord was present at the time or not. he did nut
know. He did not think the full object of the
Mouse had been accomplished by the arrest of the
Hon. Baronet.
Sir CHARMS:I BVanCLL said. that every caution
ahoold be need in speaking of the relitive situation
of the military and the civil authority—the excel.
knee of their conduct. mid their hussaMty in re-
sisting as infuriated mob. He then adverted to
the &toter which a gentleman the other day in-
curred. haviag been shot at by a ruffian. The
Hoe. Baronet should at least have a little hume-
ri!y `--had be (Sir C. Burrell) been in Sir Francis
aurdett's situation, he would rather surrender in
iron., if be could have recourse to law for redress,
then be die occasion of • drop of spilt blood.
Lord Couscous and Sir Joan Oana explained.
Af,rr which—
Mr. WI Lizeroacs spoke in favour of the repri-
mand. He recollected that a person in a very high
sirwitios had been called before the bar of that
H-use. who had offroded its dignity. With gaiety
ant m-rtini«tii he appeared. but be went sway an
ahered. lowered man, conscious of his in-
hn^r"Y ; and this effect be considered 100.1
