renew the expression of my resolution to proceed to the b.stot at
the ensuing Election.
As I understand that some doubts have been entertained respect-

declare that I am not a Pensioner of the Crown, and that I am in
possession of the opinion of the highest Law thorities in this
country, that I am not within the disqualifying clause of the 13th

Sir THOMAS BARING, Bart. 31. P. in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were passed unanimously :-
Ist. Proposed by Sir Alexander Johnston, and seconded by George
Cumming, Esq. M.P.
" That as the administration of the affairs of the British posses-
sions in India involves the exercise of every function appertaining to
a great and powerful Empire, it is of essential importance that
among the Members of the Executive Body appointed to regulate
and control the conduct of the Local Authorities, there should
be found a due proportion of individuals. qualified by emp!oyment
in the several departments of the public service in India, for the
efficient discharge of that great and responsible duty.
2d. Proposed by John Martin, Esq. M.P. and seconded by Wm.
Remington, Esq.
" That Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., hating, in the course of
active service in India, comprehending a period of twenty-three
years, discharged the functions of several of the highest Civil
Offices in India, especially those of the Financial, Revenue, and
Judicial Departments, with a degree of ability and success that re-
peatedly obtained for him the recorded approbation of the Autho-
rities both at home and abroad (as fully set forth in the official
documents circulated with Mr. Tucker's Address to the Proprietors
of the Ith May, 11121, to which this Meeting particularly requests
the attention of the Proprietors of East India Stock), that Gentle-
man possesses' in the opinion of this Meeting, fair pretensions to
aspire to the honourable and important situation of a Member of
the Executive Rudy of the East India Company."

3d. Proposed by Thomas Weeding, Esq., and seconded by
Thomson Mulkey, Esq.
" That the accession of knowledge and experience which Mr.
Tucker would bring to the Court of I)trectors, in addition to gene-
ral talents and acquirements, must be deemed peculiarly valuable
in the financial and judicial branches of the Adniinistration, in
which he held successively the high and responsible situations of
Accountant-General, Judicial and Revenue Secretary, and Secre-
•ary in the Financial and Colonial Departments.

dth. Proposed by Lcwis Loyd, Esq. and seconded by Robert
Sheddon, Esq.
" That, in addition to the qualiticatiors above noticed, Mr.
Tucker has had an opportunity of acquiring so extensive know-
ledge of the principles of commerce, and of their practical applica-
tion to the reciprocal interests of India and the Mother Country, in
consequence of his having held the office of Public or Commercial
Secretary to the Supreme Government, and of his having been
placed in other situations involvdtg the practical details of com-
merce upon a very extensive scale."

btli. Proposed by Richard Campbell Razett, Esq. and seconded by
Edward Fletcher, Esq.
" That on the ground of these high qualifications, the Proprie-
tors present at this Meeting, actuated by the desire of upholding
the weight and efficacy of the Executive Body, earnestly recom-
mend to the Proptittors of East India stock the election of Henry
St. George Tucker, Esq. to a Seat in the Direction on the first va-
cancy which may occur, and pledge themselves to employ their
strenuous exertions fur the accomplishment of that object."

Ilankey, Esq. and resolved unanimously,

praying the House to take into consideration the condition of the
English peasantry.
The petition being read, stated that that Honourable House
had evinced a great disposition to legislate for the amelioration of
the negro slaves, but dui petitioner represented that these slaves
were in &situation far preferable to many of the lower classes in
England, who were compelled to break stones on the mad, which,
after all, did not procure them more than a bare sustenance ;
whereas the negro slave had an estate of his own, on which a day
was set apart for him to labour, and with the produce of that la-
bour he could support his family. The petitioner prayed the
House to take these circumstances into its consideration, and to ex-
tend more of its sympathies to the sufferings of the English pea-
santry.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.

riod, neither the creative,' nor the family sv'ere enabled to sill a
freehold estate which Mr. Sleeman had possessed ; they Were at
length enabled to sell, but they had not yet received one shilling

BRITISH MUSEUM.

LORD CHANCELLOR AND MR. ADERCRO'MBY.
' Mr. A BERCROMIIT rose. and said that a sense of what was
owing to himself, a sense of what was owing to the House, and
a sense of what was owing to the profession of which he was a
member, alike concurred in inducing him to bring before the }louse
an attack that had been made on their privileges from the bench
of justice, and that too, by the Lord high Chancellor of England.
Ile would first state to the House the manner in which he had
learnt that the observations had beer made by Lord Eldon, and he
would then state what he had actually said in that House, and what
the Lord Chancellor had chi • god him with saying, amid then the
House would be in a condition to draw its owu conclusions. On
Saturday morning last, he (Mr. A bercromby) was in the Court of
Exchequer, when a gentleman, a member of his own profession, with
whom he was not in habits of communication, addressed him, and
stated that he had just heard a reply from the Lord Chancellor as to
what he (Mr. A.) had said oa Mr. Williams's motion ; and on his
• • . that was he was told that the Lord Chancellor had
ni the sending forth an utter falsehood to the public.
Gentleman's assuring him of the accuracy of what lie had
e proceeded immediately to Lincoln's-inn, to ascertain the
-• and the short-hand writer, who was in Court taking

g; and he then put notes, which he had written
:stay, ...to his hands, where the words "utter falsehood" were
interlined. He asked the short-hand writer for a copy of his notes,
which he declined giving, but allowed him to skew his original
Dotes to another short-hand writer, who read the notes, and they
were just the same as had been stated to him. He 01r. Aber-
cromby) subsequently saw another Gentleman of his own proles-
siun, and one on whose honour and integrity he placed the fullest
reliance, who had been in Court, and to whom he had stated what
had b-. 91 read to him. That Gentleman admitted having heard
the whole of it, and his only doubt as to its accuracy was whether
the Chancellor had said an " utter falsehood" or " another false-
hood ;" if indeed the latter was the phrase, it made it the more in-
tolerable. After an interval, when he had had time for reflection, he
again saw the same Gentleman who at first mentioned the subject to
btm in the Court of Exchequer, and he then asked him if he was sure
the Lord Chancellor had iinputed to hint the publishing an utter
falsehood. and whether it might not apply to sonic one else; and
he was told that it could not, for the only two Members who had
taken part in the debate against the Court of Chancery were his
lion. Friends the Members for ‘Vinchelsea and Lincoln, and their
line of argument had no reference to the subject of appeals and re-
hearings.as must be in the recollectim of the House andas it stands
in evidence in the report on that debate. lie did not doubt that
when Lord Eldon had made use of these remarks, he had impressed
those who heard hint with the notion that he (Mr. A.) had been
guilty of uttering gross falsehoods, and he should wish to know
what entitled Lord Eldon to do such things with impunity. In the
course of the morning, when he had satisfied himself, from all the
quarters which he had mentioned, of the exact words which the
Lord Chancellor had used, he went to a Gentleman, a Member of
that House, and told him that he should take time to consider as
to the course he should pursue; but that, if he did not alter his
mind, be should bring the subject before the House. He had since
communicated with the Gentleman to whom he had made this state-
ment, and he (Mr. ,Vbercrotubv) had no doubt that he had com-
municated with Lord Eldon. Ile had now stated the means he had
used to discover what the Chancellor had said, he would read from
a Newspaper the observations that had been made by Lord Eldon,
and he must say, that what was stated in that Newspaper, as hav-
ing fallen from the Lord Chancellor, agreed in every respect with
what he had heard. He should therefore assume that it was cor-
rect. The Hon. Member then read as follows :
" Lord Chancellor—As it has been represented that the person
who sits here does mischief by hearing certain motions without the
signature of Counsel, that is to say, when motions have been made
to discharge an order of the Vice-Chancellor, or the Master of the
Rolls, that such motions have been brought on without the signa-
ture of Counsel, I have only to state, that having been in this
Court since the year 1778, whenever a motion has been made
before the Master of the Rolls, which he has refused to allow, or
which he did allow, act: upon an application to the Chancellor, to
vary what the Master of the Rolls had done, or to destroy it alto-
gether, and so again whenever a motion has been made before
time nee-Chancellor, and Counsel have been of opinion that the.
motion had been improperly granted or discharged, the parts, has
always in all these cases, been at liberty to move %rain, with a
view to set the mattes right, and if the signature of Counsel be ne-
cessary to alter the practice of the Court, as it has obtained since
the period I have mentioned, all I can say 1., that I have not a
right to tax the King's subjects in that way. With respect to ap-
peals and rehearings, it is supposed that I have heard them on new
evidence, and thereby brought discredit on some part of the Court.
It is an utter falsehood ! On rehearing, it is always competent to
read the evidence given in the cause, though it was not read in the
Court below, either by the Counsel or the Judge • further than
that the Court does not go. On appeals it only reads what has
been read in the Court below ; and that psactice I have never de-
parted from in any one instance; therefore, really, belote things
are so represented, particularly by gentlemen with gowns on their
backs, they should at least take care to be accurate, for it was their
business to be so."

„Mr. Agur.—Upon motions it would be impossible for Counsel
to certify.
” The Lord Chancellor.—Such motions as I have referred
to have been made for half a century, and never with the signature
of Counsel; and yet the public are told that the signature of Conn.
*el is necessary by Act of Parliament, and that I have dispensed
with it."

Now he (Mr. Abercrombv) must state, that there was nothing at
that time before Lord Eldon that could have called for these ani-
madversions • he travelled out of his way to make them, and
therefore such an attack must have been premeditated. There
were two things which he had no doubt would have been observed
by lion. Members who heard him; they were—that no men-
tion was made in those remarks of either the House of lominons or
of himself; yet who could read them, and not know that they had
reference to the debate which had taken place on the motion of his
lion. Friend the Member for Lincoln ? Ile would beg of the
House to recollect who it was that had made these observations—

the Lord High Chancellor of England ; and to recollect also that
he had made then. from the seat of justice. He could not sup-
pose that any person would rise anti say it was not a subject in
which that !louse could interfere, and that there was no proot that
the remarks applied to that House or any of its Members. He
would assume that that House was meant, and that he was the
person charged with having uttered falsehoods ; and he felt that if
be submitted quietly to such an aspersion he could not too soon be
obliged to quit, not only that House, but his profession also, aid
even the society of gentlemen. If it should appear that these ob-
servations were made on a statement that had never been made, and
that it was fabricated, for the purpose of contradicting it, he
should like to know what would be the condition of Mem-
bers of the professio of the law who were Members of that House ?
He would next, with the permission of the House, proceed to the
statement which on a former night lie had made. As there was no
Hoe. Member in that House who spoke with less premeditation
than he did, so he would not undertake to vouch for the accuracy
of the exact expression which he used in the debate of a former
night; but he was confident that he could safely lay the truth and
substance of everything he then said faiiy before the House. To
that part of his statement on which the Lord Chancellor of Eng-
land had thought proper to comment so severely, he now meant to
direct the attention of the House. It SW that in which he stated,
that " one most important object of the Commissioners to inquire
into, was that which regarded the effects of the interference of the
Lord Chancellor with the practice of the Vice-Chancellor's Court."
The three points which formed the subject of the discussion on the
former, were as related to the practice of the Court—in appeals, in
rehearings, in motions, and in olden of bankruptcy. The
practice of the Court front 1813 to 1819, was the standard of re-
ference to which he mule allusion at that time. rp to that time,
which was the time in which the N'ice.Chancellor's Court was
established, the practice had been established on a ground for
which there were strong reasons fur alteration in the present con-
dition of the Courts of Equity. One principal object expected to
be derived from the institution of that Court, was to fulfil the pur-
pose of excluding and rut including appeals. The signature of
Counsel in such instances was desirable; for it amounted to a se-
curity to the Court against speculative and vexatious appeals. But
although this was the practice in cases of appeal, yet a different one
prevailed with regard to motions. In cases of motions heambefore
the Vice-Chancellor, and referred from him to the Lord Chan-
cellor, the suitors, after a discussion in the liwer court, saw the
weakness of their case, which they supplied by new affidavits and
fresh evidence. Thus the Lord Chancellor and the Vice-tlhancellor
came frequently to a different decision on the same motign,
and collision of opinion between the two Judges was what
he (Mr. Abercromhy) thought highly derogatory from the respect
which W 14.1 due to the inferior Court This was a practice which
certainly was a fitting one for the Commiseioners to investigate,
and for this statement of his opinion Coat it was so, he was cen-
sured and reviled. N 1 ha: does the Lord Chancellor himself say
I with regard to motions ? His own words were, " I have only to
state, that having been in this Court since 1778, whenever a nio-
tion has been made before the Vice-Chancellor to vary what the
Master of the Rolls had done, or to destroy it altogether ; and so
again, whenever a motion has been made before the Vice-('han-
cellor, and Counsel have been of opinion that the motion had been
improperly granted or discharged, the party has always in all those
' cases been at liberty, to move again, with a view to set the matter
right ; and if the signature of Counsel be necessary, to alter ill,:
practi.e of the Court as it has obtained since the period I have
mentioned, all I can say is, that I have not a right to tax
the King's subjects in this way." The Chancellor here says, that
on the renewal of motions before hint, signatures of Counsel were
