Ftiewds were Compelled to refer to the proeeethugs
which had taken place; they had ao iutention of

Queen—(Dear, hear.)--.But when they were
charged with miscoridert in the institution of those

need the infliction of punishirneut oil any indivi-
dual; but at the same time he mast say that it
fully justified the conduct of Ministers in institut-
ing the proceedings. The issee of those proceedings
was a legal acquittal, and by that acquittal the Quern
was legally entitled to the enjoyment of her rank,
honours, and privileges, of which she was now in full
possession, end had been so recognised by the highest
•uthority in the kingdom; For d! rest, in the words
of the Hun. and Laweitinfi Gentleman who was her
Msjesty's chief legal adviser, the insertion of the

Gentleman might think it hardly fair to utake thee
wllusiou after the explanation which he had given
of the different views he took of the miner no Ire
two-fold capacity of Member of Parliament and
legal adviser to the Queen. But lie really could nut
well comprelieud hew it could happen, if in either
character he thought the Liturgy question of such
importance as it had lately been represented, that he
should never hive mentioned it before. Ile would
ask the Learned Gentleman whether in the commit-
nicatioos which it since •pprarril lira taken plate
between him nod his Right Honourable Friends, he
lied ever mentioned it in such a way ? and bow it
happened that lie could undertake to be the bearer
of a eounnunitation to her Majesty from Miiii.ters,

he thought it an insurmountable obstacle ? Ile
trusted that the ffonup►sblr and Learned Gentle-

these circumstances. The tone and manner in

Mr. SENNETT said, that he should think ill' of

not intend to follow the Bigot Hon. Gentlemos
through a al►eech which seemed constructert for the

ptebably thought ton good to be lost, he hail fa-
inured the Home with it on the present OCCIII.IOII.
He should premise the observistione lie Uncurled
he make by stating, that all the Gentlemen who
kt•d spoken on the other side, with the exception
tsf Ministers thennelves, disclaimed same past or
other of their conduct. The Noble Lord (Castle-

Bull would be supported by persons of credit and

believed no one could be foissid alto would come

that as it might, on that information Ins Majest)'s
Ministers had sent forward the Milan Commission.
And here he would ask, whether the rank roil cha-

all that folowed was of course ; the lateral con-
sequence was to force her Majesty ins this coun-

Gentleman's consent to omit her Majesty's name
in the Liturgy was a sort of compromise. Was it
not given on en understanding that no proceedings
should take place lie did not know if this were
so or sent, but lie had heard it confidently whisper-
ed. The great charge against the Ministers was
their titt:.:r want of caution in receiving evidence,

would have be-cos taken in rosy other case.—
Who could leave believed that au individual
should be found who swore that for five sue-

or lie returning florin lieu's? Would it not have
brow natural to inquire if her Majesty had really
been live days at the place ? If any Lam reed Gen-

grated. Yet it was clearly proved that the sum
was grossly perjured, her Alajesty nut having been

was the evidence of the Gazette, which the Lord
Chancellor himself acknowledged. though not
