he had tat

the honour of being in the least
the Noble k amily iii question. save the head or.
the NobLe Marquis, who toe near him. taring the
highest vesiA.a for his charafter, he coeld.not relied
to the appoiatment of such a guardian; but, be
thought, there was such a degree uJ novelty •in
many of the circumstances of the present caw, in-
volving considerations of such feeling and oebcacy,
as to induce consid•erahle difficuley in de.-i Slaw upoft
it. Perhaps, the Nol,le Guardian, tech.,- for the
situation of the child, in kited/less and essiti!groce to
her feelrogs ar.d attachments, might at so as ito
make v.ry little difference in her present citcom-
r•sices. He was happy in the consideration that
the appointment was under the sandian of the
House. 'He d:ubted not but doy funftiosis of guar-
dian would be fairly executed ; but could not ovoid;
observing, that he thought it would be preferable to
bring up the child with her brothers and sisters, as
the am le affording the best eiance of a eartainry
of moral cJaduet ; and 'ferried to think it world
not be improper, were the Noble Marquis to mte
his intentions in that respeft. •
The Marquis of HER I'FORD, feeling bireself
particularly alluded to, m,rre than once, in the
con se of the discussion, thought it incumbent on
him to trouble their Lordships with a few words.
He firexplverted to the letter he Lad received from
the Agents of the Respondents, to which he certainly
had not, thought proper to answer. With respect
to the consideration of guardianship, in his mind,
it should be regulated by a prin. iple, that the guar-
dion should not enter into any explotrireem or prow
mise as to his intentions, lest he should plate him-
self in an anxious and arduous dilemma. either to
do that tshi.-11 may, strider the circunistasces, he
injdi Lois to his charge, on the one hand, or forfeit
lux woral of, lappetsfilslhe Sher_, . He should.
therefore, enter into no explanations of *e kind.
With resped to the present situation of Miss Sey-
mour, he had deemed it incumbent on him to stake
particular inquiries, when appiehensicn of her re-
moval was entertained ; by what he could learn, such
a step was likely to be attended wish danger. He
meant no refledion whatever an liis•Nolale itelativers
but their Lordships knew that men may see things in
different lights. He has seen his niege at his ovAl
house, and at other pLice,, and had every season to
be pleased with her manner- and behaviour, the tor-
motion of which seemed to be attended to u itli par-
ticular care. The same could be said of her reli-
gious education ; . as, independent of what he was
assured by the Bishop of Winchester. it easy be
perceived, that ;termer atention had been paid to
that important consideration. than WAS usual with
the generality of young ladies. Should he under-
take the guardianship, i; would be accompanied by
an understanding, that he pledged himself to no-
thing ; should he deer* it likely to conduce to the
beneet and advantage of the tuft -be would suffer,
her to remain ; should he think ft astute to re-
moire her, such a step should be titliC 'is kis be-
fore known ro be his solemn determinkdea; Ind so
far, he solemnly declared It to be his opt, that
were his late brother and .Lady Horatit alt they
would not blaMe for' such a litre ef dud.
(Hear! hear ! from the 111,eideriel Bench, •le li. NA
the set.) ilVheeher such'a plan mite even-
molly prove the most prudent or politic, was anou
ther consideration: He bad to observe; that the
child was :ong in a most miserable state oftwaltb ;
that in fact her mother was in a dying state nearly'
the whole tie ie abet pregnancy ; and to affd. that
if any circurnstandi should make it necessary to re-
move the child, his house should be her home. But
be again begged it to be understood, he accepted
die guardianship without meking any stipulation
whatever.
The Bishop of ST. ASA PIT observed, that Irma
reading some particular parrs of the evidence, it
appeared to him, that the seledion.of Mrs. Eittheri;
bort for the guardianship of the child, was thik
ongiaal designation of Lord Huth Seymour and
Lady Horatio. The Reverend Prelate advanced
several other observations in support of what had,
fallen from the Noble Lnrd on the sVoolsack.
The Earl of KOMNEY said a tesv words on the
occasion, but in so low a toile of voice, we could
not exoeily distinguish their tendency save that we
understood him to express his satisfaelion at the
appointment of the noble Mwquis as Guardian.
The questions were then pot, and the K. &alutionf
agreed to by the House.—A great number of Peers
said n Non-content;" and, for a moment, a division
was expeded, but that proceeding did no. take place.
The hills upon the fable weir then forwarded in
their respcdtive stages ; and, at nine o'clock, the
House adjourned till Monday.
The attendance of Peers was very numerous, and
the space below the bar was uncommonly crowded,
during the whole discussion.
