on the contrary, it his !veined friend bad lent ids aid to this
newspaper, it had been done with a view to put down sedition
and blasphemy.
Sir JAMES MACINTOSH said, the loused gentleman was
before the House as a public offider, the abettor of a series of
calamines libels, contributing weekly to Ce expenses, and
circulating them over the kingdom by his inllasince and recom-
mendations. It was nothing to them what court or jury might
deride respecting the point of taw. That was entirely &verso
isle/ire. Here, in Parliament, they acted, nut as a court of
law, hut enquired only whether there was sufficient ground fur
enquiry. They-were to enquire whether the noble Lord set an
example in a high degree detrimental to the public peace,
whether he encouraged political atter-km without decorum, with-
out delicacy, without regard to feeling or character. If there
was sufficient ground to enquire whether he set an maniple of
barbarizing poiitical warfare, and of giving rise to duels and
the shedding of blood. The only question before the !forme
was, whether there was prima latie evidence of gross miscon-
duct on the part of the learned Lord as a public officer. It was
as an officer of high political authority that his misconduct
railed for the inquiry of that House. Constables they would
leave to the 'ordinary administration of the law ; but the Lord
Advocatersf Scotland was intrusted with powers which that
Hoase•could guard or (heck. The question which they were
called *putt to decide was, whether the House would frown
down an infamous system of calumny, or give it Iheir sanction
meat perpetaate its evils. Hear.)
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY began by stating the
three heads under which lie would consider the subject. First,
the connexion of his hon. and learned friend with the press—
that was, with the Clydesdale Jowled and the Beacon; 241, the
oppressive transact' in which Borth% ick was concerned ;
and 3d, the ,proposition to call two persons before the com-
mittee, and to make certain inquiries of them. At what time
was such a pence:ding proposed ? At this period of the sea-
pion, at a time when he could put it whether such an inquiry
could he gone into with a view to substantial justice? This
was proposed, too, on the ere of a legal prosecution, in which
his hen. and learned friend would be overhauled on the pro-
prietorship. It was said that inquiry was all that was pre-
posed, but Parliament always sanctioned the principle that it
was an small itiffiefon to be seta to a committee of inquiry
♦bove stairs. He thought it would have been more discreet in
the ?canted lord to have kept himself distinct front those trans-
actions, and not to have raised any queation with regard to his
eondact. (Hear, bear.) But in the whole of his conduct
nothing could be found to touch his character as a man and a
lawyer. 'I he noble marquis concluded by declaring. that if he
were not ihe'Friend lint the politica lopponentof the learned bird,
he would lay his hand upon his heart and say, that he could not
vote for the motion. (Cheers from the ministerial, returued
