CRUELTY TO BRUTE A.:.131A
Ulan the Order of the Day bein4
ra sit—
Lord ERS Nit rose for the purpose of moving,
that the Ilill which lie had introduced for prcveut-
iog
cruelty to the brute creation, be read a second
time. Thi4 Bill isat almost the same with that
which received their Lordship's concurrence dui 1114
the last Session of P:rliaittesit. Tha only altera-
nun he had made wail, the utwiesion of one word,
and the insertion of a new clause. In the former,
persons were made ameuable to puilishment who
should " maliciously, and with wanton cruelty, cut,
wound, maim, beat, u: otherwise abuse," but in the
Bill before them, he bad considered it expedient
to omit the word " heat." The clause to which he
had alluded, wade it requisite that the indictment
should charge the offence to have been committed •
"maliciously, and with watiton cruelty." This misfit,
or might not remain, or receive alteration in one of
its future stages. He had, last yeses PorllcirletlYs
stated all those reasons which urged him to adopt
the principle of this Bill, and bring it ("tweed in
the shape of a law. Their Lordships hail, at that
time, paid great attentiou to all which he had said
on the subject, and they should now receive a as.
luable consideration, fur he would dot trouble them
with a repetition of those arguments by which be
bad supported the priuciple. The Bill had, last
Session, received the unanimous ecii.currence of
that House ; but it was not in coostqueuce of Il.at
unanimity alone he again submitted this measu►e
to the consideration of Parliament ; for, although
the House of Commons had dealt differently with
the Bill, yet, he had a rght to say, the majority
were iu its favour, as appeared upon its befog read
• second time. Certainly it had been opposed by
great ability and eloquence, on the pea of those
who differed from him in seaument, and he was
williog to treat that opposition with res,:ect ; for,
God forbid, that soy men, suaintai ll ill g wai ashy him
awn opinion, should not permit others to enjoy the
iiid.sputahle right of in iiiitaiuiug theirs. The
Noble Lord coca laded by snoring " That the Bill
be read the second time."
Lord

WS% ti at *Eat..
ever shade of difference existed hrtsreen him siid

his Noble and Leashed as is the exped.a.-ey
of the means. lie most cordially coni•uired with
him in the object of the Bill, that of preventing
the wanton exercise of cruelty towards the brute
creation. It occurred to bun, that the 131111111110 in
which that part of the Bill Mall worsted, where it
stated the offence to be the •• maliciously, and with
wanton cruelty, cutting. wounding, maiming, and
otherwise abusing." was likeiy to be attended with
injurious effects. The words "otherwise abu.ing,"
admitted of that latitude, which might, in the ad-
ministration of law, produce greater cruelty to the
human species than that which was practised upon
brute auirnals. Excepiing these words. which
would certainly incur his opposition, he most rea.
dily concurred in the priuciple and ohject of the
Bill.

Lord ERSKIIIIIE conceived the worils blinded to
by his Noble and Learned Fr:end, would not be
attended with the evils he apprehended. Their be-
ing necessa►ily connected with those words prece-
dent, " maliciously and with wanton cruelty."
would, in his opinion, prevent any misaievous
ef-
feet. But if, to the course of the future progress
of the Bill, their Lardsi4s should entertain a dri:
fertnt opinion, he sli.ntij feel himself disposed to
concur in the alteration.

The Bill was then read a second tune, and or-
dered to be committed to-morrow.

enemy on the Continent, the injudicious policy of
our (Mier ttttt or the ',resent distraction of the
pubic nismt at home, 1 um equality filled with
anxiety. Feeling, as 1 do, in tritons with HIV
Noble Friend on my left (Lord Grenville), and
those who have had the happisess to concur cub
bins in opinion, I have thought it my duty to address
your Lordships upon the present awful state of the
country. It is not in behalf of any particular Ai!.
ministration, but it is in defence of the Consiiiu.
tion, and liCierties of this nation. 1 would concur'''.
nicate my sentiments to this thine and the people.
I would examine, that we may find out the source
of those calamities which at preseot threaten our
very existence. Hot, whether they !sate their origin
in those who unfortunately hull the reins of go-
vernment, or whether they are more iconserinuely
to be ascribed to tiime who at pry-sent Are attempt-
ing to direct the public mind, it is of the laat im-
portance that we shnnld contend for the power and

which I osast

advert to the criNstnities of warfare, or the Mote. -

rust meet with our decided condemnation. They
nre the persons who have ust only at one tune nu•
necetisarily stretched the power of Parliament be-
yoad • salutary degree ; hut they have, at another
time, ley their imbecility and indecision, produced
the oppoeite extreme of reprehensible relaxation.—
They have, by their meisores, produced that fer-
ment which now au,ritates the public mind; and
have given to many mistaken individuals au oppor-
tniiity of disputing even the existence of the power
and privilege of Parliament. This power, my
I.9rds, ha. always belonged to the two Houses of
the 1,-gislature, awl was never disputed. Accord-
ing to every information L have derived—according
to all which I ever read, or was taught, respecting,
the Coostitutionaccording to the most competent
and eminent authorities I have ever consulted. or
have known—the power and privilege of Parliament
hive been invariably admitted. For a moderate
an i judicious exercise of that power I shall always
be au advocate. Considering, as 1 do, the critical
situation of the country, it was loot an easy matter
fo, roe and others to discharge what we may term
our duty on this occasion. But 1 wish the public
ro here this opportunity of learning our sentiments,
and that we may no longer be made the of of
LB irrepro.eutution. I have thought it iricuinhem
thus t, address Soar Lordships, and to signify that
thr- times call upon us to trace the celamities which
threeteri the minim to their true source, end to sug-
gest those rueasores which truly avert their motions
and dimming cousequences. For this purpose, my •
Loafs, L uoa gite notice, that it is my intention,
on this slay three weeks, to move an Aridrees to Ks'
Majesty, and I now move, " That the Lords be
summoned for that day."
The Earl of Livsaroot. was happy to find so
much unanimity respecting the public spirit which
had been raised against the power and privilege of
Parliament. Whatever might be the opinion of
the Noble Earl who had just addressed the House,
as to any individual of Administration, he was sure
his information, and the long experience of his life,
would lead film to support tae power awl privileges
vested i.i the two Houses b) the Constitutioo. lie
would not eider into any arguments, at this time,
to skew how far the couduct of Minster. had been
guided by a sense of prirriety on the occurrence
of past events; that subject would come under
their consideration, and he wily had to make a
claim of *reserve, with respect to what he himself, or
any of his eollealues, might have to allege at that
period. kle had no hesitation in saying they could
defend themselves from any charge which intght he
bratetht amnion them, and would prove that they
he 1 discharged their duty with the strictest pro-
priety._

Lord Gailevi the-41 My Lords, I confess it

sures by wand' they niity be averted, and the steps
we are imperiously called on to take, I cannot agree
with the Noble Lord, that these quest , when
discussed. can be separated from the question, whe-
ther we have, in this country, an Admiuistration
eatable of defending; us from the (hangers that
surround us, or. whether, on the contrary.
the existence of these dangers, the crisis in
which we find ourselves at the present moment,
solicit our all is at stake, are not mainly to
be attributed to the misconduct of the Ministers

IVitatever can be done within the walls of

to secure its constitutional liberty, ought to Ise dime
by Parliament. lam convinced, that, by Ponta-
, ment, it may be done. But, my Lords, for the
faithful discharge of that duty which Pailiruient
owes to the country, it is the first and principal
duty of Parliament to maintain anti assert those
privileges which were given for the benefit of the
country. Privileges which have uniformly been
exercised for the bcuetit of the country, and
cannot, without a species of treachery, be
abandoned, IVithout those privileges, the ex-
ercise of w hich the people hove beets deluded to
contest, a free and independent Parliatueut never
could have existed. Whoever knows any thing of
the history of the country, must be convinced, that
an independent Parliament never could have ex-
isted, without the privileges and the means of exer-
cising diem, which are now disputed. Without
those powers, which are itshereut its Parliament, and
the exercise of the particular privilege, which, it is
now said, it is for the benefit of the people to pre-
vent the exercise of, Parliame of could never have
achieved for the country what it has. If the per-
sons who oppose this privilege should succeed its
deptivaig Parliament of a privilege so necessary to
its existence, it will prevent its asserting its
own independence, and of maintaining its own
'dignity. If they should succeed in depriving the
House of Parliament of their privileges, turd of driv-
lug theta to other quarters for protection and item-
rity, from that moment Pal ha:tient caries to exist
as an iiitlepeorieut Parliament. Under such a sys-
tem. Pantomime nearr could have raised this coun-
try to what it is. At the period when cur ancesocrs
established the freedom of Parliaments, at the
commencement of the reign of the Stuarts, ut
Bert particular time it was that this instrument of
Pailiainentary power, which is now contested, was
the means by which the freedom and liberty of the
country were effected ; and, if ever Parliament
reliaquiehes that principle, they despoil
of the meatis of affording to the Crown that beell-
rity which it will receive. rather front Parliainc:it
than from those who profess to be better fries
to the Crown. They will deprive Parliement of
the meats of tieing that which Parliament has ever
done; I mean, of maintaining that liberty which
Parliament a!olie has ratable-heal. and VIII alone
secure the continuance 0f..--Whatever circum-
stances arise in this country, I will never drown
the standard of Piorliament—round that I will
rally, because I knew, and sin convinced. that,
upon the independence of Perliament, depend* the
best interests, the prosperity, the tranquillity, the
freedom, mid the independence of the country."
Lord ERSICINI:—." My Lords, I am ready to con-
cur with my Noble Friends, that the power
privileges of Parliament might to be supported.—
At all times I revere the Constitution ; but the
subject upon which I rose to offer my Aentonciits is
this; the power lately exercised by the home of.
Co.nttions has been alluded to, and the unfortunate
circumstances which attended it ; but. my Lords,
thus is a question of grave and serious importance.
The Constitution itself is fonodesi upon the law of
the land, amid 1 must ever contend, that we are all
under the dominion of that I lbw. If my Noble
Friends would say that the Courts ofJustice cannot
havorjarisdictirm iu this case, I 'oust dotter from them :
for anti! the Judges decide. we ought not to deter-
'JlM,. I shell ever r the law of this countryond we
are beefed to obey it as expounded lay the Learned
Judge'. It is out of the power of the Legislature
to put its own construeCou upon a law, after it is
made, anti, therefore, in the present instance, I
shall nut assume the exercise of the power, as
right, till I hear the legal opinion of my Noble
arid Learned Friend (Lord F.llenhorungii).
This question is one of great doubt, so great
that the King's Attorney-General. as such. and
acting us • /Ben der of the House of Commons,
was puzzled, and could not di termitic. Ile could
find no pre:edent fats the exercise of this power on
the annuls of Parliament. Unknown to your Lord-
ships, the Speaker's Serjeant. who executed the
warrant. may yet be indicted, tried, convicted, and
executed for murder. Bat in all cases I must bow
to the decision of law ; and never, while l possess
blood or bones, shall the House of Commons, or
your Lordships, do with Lord Chief Justice Ellen-
isoratigh. as the lioure of Commons once did
with Chief Justice Pemberton. I would die,
my Lords, literally, I would die before the
Parliament should usurp a power above the law
of the land. The people, lam persuaded, would
best submit to that authority, end if it had been
appiaied to Parliament, seeded not to have applied
fur assistance from the King. When they are told
by the dodges what the law is, they hare confi-
dence io its justice, and they submit to that power,
when they would resist every other. However 1
esteem my two Noble Friends, and act with them in
political conjunction, I must. though in opposition
to their sentiments. assert the principles I maintain.
I cannot so far depart from what has been the
maxim of my poet life, as to concur with them vas
tirely on the present occasion. It will, I hope.
produce a proper conclusiosi in the public mind,
that we can entertain independent opinions, when
necessary to the public interest. l think, on the
present question. myself equal with any of your
Lordships, as to being competent to decide. In
the case of high treatise'. it. was endeavoured to
make a new overt act of treason ; I answered no.
Why not Why, because it was not contained in the
statute of Edw. 111.1 was told of Lord lisle, hut with
all my esteem fur him, he was but • large fly buzz-
ing in the windowoo hen compared to the statute or
written laws of the realm. It is the laws which af-
ford us secoority, Itherty, and prop. rty. and with-
out them the Constitution cannot be maintained."
The Noble Lord concluded a very argumentative
and animated speech.
It was ordered that the Lords be summoned sc.
eordingly.
