IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
tinusE OF LOR DS Fit I DAY. MA♦ 3.
Counsel w. re f.trthet heard relaii.q to the Scots
Cathcart, Hart.' e The Earl of Ca=wli.--etz Mr Carle,
io
C1.111111U.16011, in reply, on behalf of the A.petlants. The far-
ther consideration of the case was deferred till Monday.

LORD VISCOUNT MELVILLE.
Mr. Leycester, attended by several Members,
brought up a message from the Commons, in sub-
stance, desiring their Lordships permission to a
Member of that House, Lord Viscount Melville,
to attend a Committee of the House of Commons,
to whom the consideration of so much of the Tenth
Report of the Committee of Naval Inquiry, as re-
Litt d to the application of Monies imprest to the
Treasurer of the Navy, to purposes other than the
service of His Majesty's Navy ; and also what com-
munications were made to the Lords Commissioners
of the Treasury,. or Chancellor of the Exchequer,

respeeting the same, &c. &c.
1- "he Messengers having withdrawn;
Lord HAW KESBURY moved that their Lord-
ships do send an Answer to the Message just de-
livered from the Commons, by Messengers of their
own. Which being ordered accordingly;
The Messengers from the Commons were ordered
to be called in, and the Lord Chancellor, with the
usual formalities, communicated to them the recent
Resolution of the House.

The Mescengers having retired ;
Loi d HAWRESBURY rose to call their Lord-
ships' particular attention to the proceeding which
-had just taken place. He would first move, that
the standing Order (we believe No. 50) be read by
the Clerk), which wet accordingly done. This Or-
der imported that no Peer of the Realm, a Member
of that Housn should attend the House of Com-
mons, or any Committee thereof, to answer matters
of charge or accusation against themselves, either
in person or by their Counsel, dtc. on pain of being
committed to the custody of the Black Rod, or sent
to the Tower during the
.pleasute of that House.
His Lordship then observed, that the case. which was
involved by the recent message from the Commons,
was one of very considerable and peculiar import-
ance ; though no consideration of the kind was ex-
pressly referred to in the Message; yet, from the
Votes of the House of Commons, which had come
to his knowledge upon the subject, there was no
doubt, hut matters of charge and accusation against
Lord Viscount Melville. were conne3ed with the
proceeding. He had therefore, with reference to
what he had reason to think would take place, en-
quired respecting such precedents as existed of such
eases ; and thnngh he met with several, yet he did
not feel himself fully informed, or adequately pre-
pared to recommend at present any distind hue, or
courseof proceeding. Hethenadverted to the.circum-
stances which gave rise to the standing order which
had been just read, and stated a few cases in the way
of precedent, which, he conceived, bore a resem-
blance to the present. Among these. the case of
the Duke of Buckingham, who, in Match 1626,
was required to attend the House of Commons. on
matters of charge and accusation against hitr.self.
Some farther proceedings took place on that case,
on the 14th of the following month s the result was.
that their Lordships resolved the Duke should not
attend the House of Conamansi. A case swaii) •

their Lordships, atter duly considering the CAS!.
and though the Earl of Arlington himself desired
to be examined, refused their consent, and subse-
quently resolved upon the standing order, new
upon the book. In the present instance, he re-
peated, though the Message did not direCtly men-
tion matter of accusation against Loud Viscnurt
Melville, yet he could not avoid observing (not
meaning however to give any decided opinion upon
the subjec9), that it expressly referred to the Tenth
Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inqniry, a
copy of which was on their Lordships' table, and
which contained matters of grave and serious accu-
sation against that Noble Lord. This Report, he
could colleCt from the votes of the Commons, IF As
referred to a stied Committee, who were desired to
examine into several points contained therein and,
among others, into the application of public monies
entrusted to the Treasurer of the Navy, to other
Services than those of the navy. A proceeding of
this kind, so set forth, although k 1n.., prove, upon
due enquiry and explanation, to be even a merito-
rious line of conduit ; yet, prime facie, it was to be
regarded in the light of matter of accusation ;
therefore, from what evidence they bad betcre
them, derived from the rep ot upon the table,
and the votes of the House of Commons it may,
in the first instance, be inferred that the intention
was to examine the Noble Viscount upon points
which may form matter of accusation against him.
self. Under these circumstances, particularly re-
ferring to the standing order, it was incumbent
upon the House seriously to take the case into con-
sideration before an simmer should be out to the
Commons. He already stated, he had not his
mind fully made up as to the most proper course
to be adopted. He thought that some time,
avoiding all unnecessary delay, should be given
to Noble Lords to consider amid to enquire as to
the precedents in such cases. He hoped, how.
ever, under the circumstances of the case. and its
peculiar importance, there would be no objeltion,
no difficulty in referring it to the conssderation
of a Cotnniittee of Privileges, and that the Clerk be
ordered to furnish them with such precedents of
similar cases as may have occurred.
The k.arl of DARNLEY made a few re-
marks upon the matter under eonsideration He
thought the Noble Secretary of State should be sure
of proceeding upon strong grounds, before lie did
what might appear at least as throwing difficulties
in the way of public justice ; and it appeared to
him rather extraordinary that a Member of His
Majesty's Government, should be the first to come
forward with such a proposition, in a CAS« of such a
delicate and peculiar nature, as the present. At
any rate, he hoped their Lordships wuutd avoid all
unnecessary delay, and 'come, as scam as possible,
to a resolution upon the point.
Lord HAWK ESBURY, in explanation, begged
leave to express his astonishment at what had filen
from the Noble EA. He was a: a loss to conceive
how it could possibly be interred from what he 'Ad,

The Duke of NORFOLK stated his belief, that •
there were many Peers, who bad attended Commit-
tees of the House of Commons, and had been exa-
mined before their Committees. It was a rule, when
requests of the kind were made, on the par: of their
Lordships, to the Commons, to order, as a proviso,
the permission, if the Member required should think
fit. Perhaps, in the present instance, Lord Viscount
Melville may have no objeCtion to avend ; that
should be ascertained ; and, wi:h reference to such
a consideration, the standing order may he sespend-
ed. On these grcurds, he had no objection to the
motion ; but he honed an early day would be ap-
pointed for the consideration of the subjea.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool-
sack. He contended, with some degree of warmth,
for the pi opriety, in a: err point or 'new, of up..
holdinn and maintaining the ptivileneariftheir Lord-
ships' 'House. It was the bounden duty. of every
Member of that House to mointain them. What
had been advanced by the Noble Duke was nothing
at all to the present question. It signified nothing,
with reference to the standing order, whether a Peer
be willing or not to attend. The order was peremp-
tory and explicit, and prohibited such attendance,
under severe penalties. He believed there was no in..
stance of a Peer's being permitted to attend, where
matters of accusati in against him were under
caroi-
deration. The N.ible and Learned Lord referred to
some precedents before the order WAS made, in illus-
tration of what he had advanced. In a case, in the
year 16'29, a permission hail been granted in resp &
to an A& of Parliament then recently passed, and
a correspondent entry was made upon the Jnu'nals.
In one or two other instances, leave had been given ;
but, by the resolution solemnly taken in 1673, no
Member of that House was suffered to attend in
such a case, even were he inclined, or even to ap-
pear by his Counsel. These were prohibited under
the penalties of the custody of the Black Rod, oe
commitment to the Tower. For his own part, in
such a case, did every subjeal in His Majesty's do.
minions think he was aging wrong, he slitaild per-
form his duty to himself, to all their Lordship., and
to the House in general, and, therefore, to the
country, in strennausly recommending, nay, evnia
in insisting, with reterence to the standing order,
open such a proceeding as that recommended by
his Noble Friend. should be referred to the Cern
mittee of Privileges, to enquire what had b,2CI :I e
former practice of the House upon such occasion s.
He agreed with the Noble Lords, that no delay
should sake place.
The Doke of NORFOLK explained, that, in his
opinion, where the will of the Peer required, sad
the permission of the House cernseineel, the case was
materially altered. In* many CLOPS, it was highly
desirable, that every possible information should be
afforded, with a view to the ends of public . juatice.
Ile repeated his hope, that nu unnecessary delay
would be suffered rd take place.
The Earl of DARNLEY, in further e pl a tiers,
ob• erved, that he did not objefl to the matters being
referred to a Committee of Privileges. lie had
only rept:aced his doubts of the propriety of a

The Date of MONTROSE warmly contended,
that, in a case like the nresent, it was more ptcuii-
arly the duty of a Member of His Majesty's Go-
vernment to come forward, and endeavour to point
oat the most corrat and unexceptionable line of
proceeding ; and be must say, that he thought the
refleCtion of the Noble Earl ratter hastily and un-
guardedly made.
The Earl of DARNLEY said a few words in
further explanation.
Lord HAW IiESBLI P. 7 also spoke in further ex-
planation. He would ink, what it was he bad
stated to induce an epininn, that he wished to ob-
stru& the course of public justice, or, in any way,
to svelter the Noble Viscount from a fair and full
investigation into his ctinduift ? He came forward as
a Member of that House, an 1, under a sense of hi,
duty, as a Pe. rot Parliament; hut surely it was flit
because he haapened to be a Member of Flit Maje-
sty's Government, that he w. s to be debatred from
kiving his opinion, or stating what had come to hi,
nowledge. No insinuations of that kind should
ever deter him from following the diaates of hi'
duty. The Noble Secretary of State then regain-
ly proposed his rnotion, as stated in his first Addren
to their Lordships.
This, i in the question being pun, was immediately
agreed to be the House; and, subsequently, oat the
suggestion of his Lordship, as the general wish Was

mittee should sit on Monday neat, ;lad commence
