THE CASE OF MR. BORTHWICK.

The Loan ADVOCIT;;ai;IThe ;;;;;147; the pur-
pose of moving for the production of certain papers
coomected with the case of Mr. Borthwiek. The
House would remember, that when the Honourable
rind Learned Gentleman (Mr. Abercromby) had
called the attention of the House to the subject, he
had accused him of granting the concourse impro-
perly. He (the Lord Advocate) then stated that
he believed it was the general practice fur the
King's Advocate to issue an order to the Clerk of
the Court to grant the concourse, and hie present
motion referred to this statement. From sundry
documents, it appeared that the HOD. and Learned
Gentleman (Mr. Abercromby) had been in many
ruatances inaccurate in his statements ; and it was
considered very extraordinary in Scotland, that he
did not rise in his place to contradict the statements.
The reason he did not do so was this, that he was
in utter ignorance that such charges were to have
been brought forward, and he was therefore unpre-
pared to answer them. Whatever he might feel of
the statements respecting other.indsviduals, ai far
as he sits personally concerned, he had no complaint
to make, but he wished to give the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman an opportunity of explaining that
which was cetividered somewhat extraordinary,
namely, that he had not given full notice of his in-
tentions. It appeared from some documents which
had been laid before the House, that a difference
of opinion existed amongst the deputes as to the
case of Mr, Borthwick. Mr. Hope did consider
that there was • sufficient degree of criminality to
call foe a public prosecutioo. When the cave was
laid before him. he (the Lord Advocate) did think
that it would be Injudicious to bring forward the
prosecution then, as it might prejudice the trial of
Mr. Stuart, then pending, from which the House
would naturally infer that he had no disposition to
injure Mr. Stuart. Now when en accusation of so
serious a nature. affecting the moral and professional
character of individuals. was brought forward, lie
did think it was due to them to have given them
previous notice, in order to put them in a situa-
tion to remove the injury which a first impression
was calculated to do their character. On the 4th
of April the Hon. and Learned Gentleman gave ass
undefined notice of • motion, which was subse-
quently postponed in the very same shape and form
to the 25th ofJuoe; and be wished to give the Hon.
and Learned Gentlemen an opportunity of slating
the reasons which induced him on that occasion to

este individual, and al the ate since which such pose• has
been In esisteaee"
Mr. Assacttoust mid it was painful to him to
be called upon to enter on this discussion, which
could lead to no practical result. &ice he had
commenced this accusation he had stood in a most
peculiar situation, and had edam strange eircerti-
stances to eucounter. But the present wet • no-
velty which neither the present Speaker hor any
of his predecessors had experienced, fbr it never
before had been known for • Member of that House,
. when he had omitted the proper opportunity, to come
down with • supplemental speed', and arraign the
motives upon which another Member had discharged
his duty.—(Hear.Hear.)—With respect to the paper
which had been moved for, he had no objection tts
its prodection, or to the production of any °thee
which could assist the full discussion of the case.
which was his • only object. He abstained hotel
bringing on his motion yesterday, because he felt
that the only place i• which the case could be fully
considered was in a Committee, and he did not
wish to waste the time in • discussion, which at the
present period of the Session could lead tone result.
He thought the course he had all along pursued
was plain, manly, and direct. He Brat gave notice
of his intention to submit a motion to the House.
relating to the connexion of the Lord Advocate
with the press of Scotland. He afterwards sob-
omitted that motion, and stated the Brett influence
possessed by the Lord Advocate, and the veal im-
portance it was to that country that this influence
was properly directed. In the statements he made.
be stated that he had witnesses reedy, and he was
prepared to proceed the next day to substantiate
them. He did not call upon the House to prow
noutice a decision, but he thought he had laid fair
grounds for inquiry. The result of the inquiry
might he the complete acquittal of the parties, but
he felt that he had made a primped facie' case for a
full. fair, and impartial investigation.—(Hear.)—
This was the course he had pursued, sod which he
would again pursue under similar circumstances,
and no man had a right to arraign his motives. He
knew that he must encounter the same obstacles of
all public accusers; but from that he should net
shrink. With respect to the ease of Mr. Bortheick,
the Learned Lord had said. he had been taken by'
surprise. Bet, good God ! after a man had been
imprisoned for 70 days, and the Learned Lord him-
self had suspended his trial, had he not good reason
be presume that he was acquainted with the circutti.
stances of the case ; and when he had brought for-
wards charge against the Lord Advocate, it appeared
inconeeivable to hint why he should abating' Emu(
mmitiouing the names his Deputes. Willem,
*et to Mr. Menzies, he was not sure he had men-
tioned his name, many of his friends thought he
did not. The name of Mr. Cheep he did mention,
because he considered his evidence of importance.
With respect to the whole case, his opinion new
was the same as always, that it was a transaction
which demanded a full rod satisfactory investiga•
tion.—(Hear, Hear.)
_ _

The LORD ADVOCATE denied that personally he
had made any complaint against the Honourable
and Learned Gentleman, but he thought he had •
right to complain of onfairneas on the part of Arent
individuals, that notice had not been given to eo•
able theta to furnish ample means of defence.
Mr. Pier. said, that with respect to the motion
which was to have come on last night, his oppiwition
should be entirely founded on public ground.,
namely, on the principle that all communications
between persons in the same office should be sacred
and confidential.

The motion was then agreed to.
Mr. flume ',resented • Petition f►nm John Hay.
complaining of the c"nduct of the Lord Pres►dsnt
of the Court of Session in Seoiland, eluting the
late trial of the Petiiinner. and praying an exami-
nation at large of the Petitioner's case by the
House.

The LORD ADVOCATE defended the conduct of
the Lord President and the d.tferent Courts in
Scotland which had entertained the case of Mr.
Hay.
After a few words from Mr. Mist, the Petition
was laid on the table.
WEST INDIA PIRATES.
Mr. CANNING presented a Petition from Ship.
owners and Merchants of Liverpool, praying the
attention of the Parliament to the depredations of
pirates issuing chiefly from the American Coloulea
of Spain, netting forth the great danger and lON to
British commerce therefrom ; also expressing their
gretitude to the United States for the aid and pro-
tection which some of the British merchantmen bad
received from the American flag. The Right
Hon. Gentleman stated some of the very flagitiovs
instances of piracy (which have already appeared
in our former numbers), to enforce the necessity of
giving the Petitioners whatever relief was in the
power of the Legislature, in the way of security to
British navigation in the American and West In-
dian seas. He thought that it was impossible for
Givernment touch longer to allow these outrages.
It seemed hopeless to look for protection from a
power so unhappily circumstanced as that of
Spain. and that they could not go on compliment-
ing away the lives and property of British subject.,
but moat take tha subject into tlrir own hands.
Sir G. Cocaluam said. that as soon as the Ad-
miralty had learut that the disagreement between
Spain and her Colonies had caused the West Wien
seas to swarm with ships which depredated on ell
the European merchantmen, they sent oat a force
to give security to the navigation of British ships.
The commander had directioos to stop and seize all
vessels wising from any port withitet a commission
front a resident authority, and in eerie the vessel had
no responsible egnipment. Bet the pones* die..
cult, sew in the execution of these various orders.
It happened that most of the ships had commissions
