Colonel Vcretitra desired that the Witness
might withdraw. Ile then observed that the Wit-
ness was drunk-4A cry tr Co owl--and in his
opinion 011.41 it to be made an eeample of.
Mr. Ststsixa said, that as Witne-is's drunken-
ness had been taken notice of by Colonel \ creker,
he ought either to be punished or his evidence ex-
punged. If it should appear to he the general
wish of the Committee that he should escape with-
out censure, then he wonld certainly more that his
evidence should be erased.

Mr. Ila'wens? said, Witness had certainly been
drinking—yet he could not be sidled druid( ; he
answered tolerably as:II; perhaps as well as many
who had csca unnotieed. The Hon. Gentle-
manr contentlet , therefore, that it wri. beneath the
dignity of the House to hike any further notice of
it.-01 cry of Co on.)
Mr. Sumsett said, that although it might be
beneath the dignity of the House to notice this
conduct, he should pursue the course he had
stated ; he then moved, " That the evidence of
William M.Dewall be expungitil."
The question was then put from the Chair,
amidst a general cry of " Cu on, go on."
Sir T. 'lc LiTON l'lpretACti a desire to say a few
words, ns the question might be pressed, and the
House be compelled to divide. He subscribed to
the propriety of Mr. Sumner's remarks, yet con-
ceived the witness might be excusable. In Courts
of Lit the avidel-e of a witnes., although a little
intoxicated, was uttended to, at;cl even a verdict
given upon it by a Juq.
Mr. WM. hlll/14 ApOke of the improper course
the Committee were then purattturg. If the Ilms.e
should have to determine upon what was the pro-
per state in which a witness should appear tw give
evidence. they would find themselves placed au a
very awkward situation.
Mr. PERCEVAI. said, perhaps the Witness might
have beet, drunk when summoned. Ile would piu•
wise. to meet the ideas of all, that an entry should

tosiceted, was ordered to withdraw."

51r. ScMNNR coincided with the proposition of
the CUA%CEI.LoR of the litmus:et:ea, and eciamitt.
