the rapidity of the Bill's progress through all its

iurruaiou to M"ve the re:tiling of the Hill at present,

pippin the subject of this Important change of men-
sureo, which he hoped would be satisfactory to all
pa►tir s.

Mr. TIERNEY had no objectiea to agree in the
tnotle of proceeding suggested, but he wished it to
he understood, that his assent was given merely on
the condition that tile !louse should obtain further
ioformation respecting the motives and object of
Ministers in reprilling the Suspension Act.
Sir WM. BURROUGiIs was anxious to know when
the promised communication might be made.
The (:n.tNCla.t.ott of the Ex.:aux Ea said, most
proliaLly on Ninittlay next.
%Ir. TlEnNey wished to know its nature.

The CHANCEI.Loa of the ExcileQuEit said, his
Alujesty's Ministers proposed to make a communi-
cation to the [louse by Itoyal antliorsty, of the mo-
tives which had induced them to propose this re-
peal, resulting from the improved internal state of
the couutry.—(lkur.)
The Hill pas read a first time, and upon its
second reading bring proposed by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer,
Mr. Ti ERNEY a ished feather to he informed, what
was likely to be the mode proposed by the Ministiy
for authenticating this communication ? Perhaps,
as in the case of the memorable Gieen 11:11. the
subject would lie referred to a C mittee, and that
Committee might he oue of secrecy. In the latter
case he felt de►inous of being informed how that
Committee was Lkely to' be selected, by ballot or
by nomination
The CitaNcrt.t.on of the EXCHEQUER replied,
in that way a lisdi had usually been adopted in si-
milar circumstances.

,Jr. BitoutiliAm wag at a loss to conceive what
was 111M4ili by the reply of the Chalicellor of the
Exchequer, wheti I.e said the Committee was to be
%eltetcd in the usual way. 1;i the lag Session two
*intik,. Committees had been appointed —one of
which had been selected by ballot, and another by
nomination. Referring to the experience of last
Session, it could not Ltr ascertained which of these
might be considered as the ii•tini way of selecting a
Committee, and he therefore hoped the Right Hun.
Gentleman would lie more explicit.
The CHANCEI.I.OR of the EXCIILQUrit thought
it moat probable the appointment would take place
by

Sir W. Beattournis objected to going into the
discussion or ',labia: business at SO early an hour,
and wished to know from the Speaker if the usual
mode of proceeding ought not to be adhered to,
namely, the disposal of the Shuttling Orders in the
first instaure, PO us to give time for the appearance
of a fuller House upon a question of such moment.
The SPEAKER observed, that •t present there
were none, and that therefore, in such cases, the
!louse proceeded to the immediate dispatch of the
piddle business next in order before the !louse.
The Bill was then read a see I time,
Upon the motion that the Bill be committed,
and the Speaker leave the chair,
Lord Fur.KsTuNtr.—" Mr. Speaker, I cannot
help expressing my surprise at the conduct pursued
on the present evening. t hi coming down to the
House a quarter of an hour prior to the usual time
of commencing public business, I Inund the Muse
had already proceeded a considerable length in this
most important business now before the !louse. It
certainly uppears the object of his Majesty's Minis-
ters, from the precipitation with which they have
hurried the business forward, that they are appre-
hensive of the effects likely to result from a free
discussion of the subject. Nor is it wonderful such
a dislo►ition should betray itself, when we consider
what is in duty required of this [louse. If the late
Bill for suspending the I labeus Corpus be repealed,
as the whole nation think it ought long. since, then
the !louse should accompany its repeal with some
provision fur the relief of those who have already so
long buffered her lime operation of the Suspension.
These pyritous are not now to be turned out of
prison with the etc finance of a recognizance
about their necks to letter their exertions in life,
and keep them in coo ' d agit , expecting to
be !nought up in the Kilog's Bench, at immense
inconvenience and expense to themselves. If wrong
in the view I take of this subject, I speak in the
presence of those qualified to set ate right, and
trust they will du so. As far us I have examitted
the case of those who have been under the opeiation
of this Act, permitted to go at large upon their
own recognizances, I consider they have been most
unjustly and unwarrantably treated ; nor does there
exist in any branch of his Majesty's Government a
right to hind them down to ktep the peace, or ap-
pear at a certain day in the Court of King's
Bench, UllOll their own recognizances.—(Hear.)
There exist, nn right whatever to bind them to ap-
pear upon the tecii4.,/ art acfgaSjt:oll

The A TTUIIN EY (3LN ErLA The question now
1,-fore the House mowers to one rather a question
of N.-. mivied to a Court or Justice, than an argu-
ment fur or against passing the Bill now before the
!louse. The cases of these individuals were such,
taco ;although nothing sufficiently strong, so us to
alleet them with the crime of high treason, could
be substaidiated un oath against them, still enough
came out to ovarraid the Magistrate to bind them
over to keep the peace, and appear at a certain day
if called upon; it is by ain means a practice uu-
usunl
ill accusations of felony or misdemeanor,
and rests iii the breast of the Magistrate us he shall
deem it lit. What is a discharge upon at mati's
owe' recognizance, but a security given by the ac-
cused I elf, instead of one given by himself
jointly with two good securities, for such good
luct or appearance, at a day fixed, to
answer to the alleged offence The recogni-
zance, so far, hits the appearance of au indule
getice granted, rather than au injury inflicted.
If the recognizance mailer these circumstances,
however, he illegal, let die party apply to the
Court of Kiog's Bench, and it will relieve them.
If the. Noble Lord demand my legal opinion upon
this lieull, I think I may safely ndiant, that the
Act which empowered the Secretary of State, or
the Magistootes, to commit, also empowers these
parties to liberate upon taking a recognizance. The
Act sesis II discretionary power in tJiese parties so to
do. That the Secretary of State has a right, under
these ciretunstunces, to require through the medium
of the 'Magistrates a recognizance, the history of
all prior periods of similar solaron will be found
to prove. Hut the fact is, that no objection would
hose beet. made to their release atoll the discharge
of their recogeizatices long since, but such as
arose
what they considered legal and valid objections to
the right which had been thus exereieed. lia
conversation I myself had with some of them, they
stated, they had objections on points of law to
urge when brought up ; and I, its well as others
of his Majesty's Adoitinistiatioie thought it best to
let their recognizatices stand over, that they might
avail themselves of the opportunity to discuss th,
point. Whether I have acted rightly or not in this
respect, I will leave to the result ; but I have the
satisfaction to reflect upon this :at least, that it can-
lout be said that I have precluded them from mak-
ing use of the advantages they imagined they pos-
sess, al."

&Ir. BRAND—" The Attorney-General appears
to me to have confo led the practice or the Courts
with the legislation of the country. Although the
Ilonse now repeal the Act, those patties continue
subject to the effect of their recognizances. Whilst
the Act expires, that which originated in it exists
in full force, a contradiction I feel totally unable to
recoticilt. Whilst the Learned Gentleman piques
himself upon his c indoor and liberality towards
these subjects of oppressioo, by lettstig the recog-
nizance,' ieniain frill force, to furnish them with
legal objections, l ►hould rec.intito,nd hiin to have
studied consistency, and, since he must have known
the Art was about to be repealed the first wet k in
the Parliamentary Session, discharged all these
vexatious recoguizances. For my own part, 1 con-
sider these recognizances by no mealm legal or
binding, and eillinot help teprating, that the Right
(foil. and Learned Gentleman has, throughout his
apology, coo 111 l icled the legal remedy open in such
cases to individuals, with the constitutional security
of his Majesty's subjects generally."—( Hear.)
Lord CASTLEREAGH...." The moment this Bill
bts passed the House, that moment the Suspension
and its consequeices are tenured. l'he Fuspcusioty
and the compelling the parties to enter into the
recognizances, are totally distinct and separate
transact- s, neither involved ill, nor connected with
each other. Neither can the fact of the existence
of these recognizances silt et the propriety of the
relies' of this Act, suspending that invaluable 'air-
time of the general liberty. The circumstance may
fairly be a grOulliil of a separate motion, and the
offence is cognizable point of law; but it eau
never be considered a ground for preventing the
restoration of society at large to the full and free
exercise of their constitutional liberties, as far as
may he iiroilileett by the passing of this Act."
Mr. littoueitsm—" The Noble Lord appears
not to have rightly understood my lion. Friend
(Mr. Brand). If I am rightly informed, these re-
cognizance's have been taken in a very unusual way,
namely, voluntarily. Cover 1111 l ent gave these par-
ties the option to remain in prison until the repeat
of this Act. by virtue of winch you are now COIL
lined, Or chit alcevilt of liberation on our terms--
row into these recognizances, and you may go at
large until we have occasion for you. Tile condi-
tion might as well have been, on paying of a tine of
100/, or going on their knees and begging the
Minister's pardon. They had just us much right
to demand one as the other. The recognizatice
was, Oriente, oue of the alternatives of a 'relay,
made up of very hard conditions. But does not
the House see this power of exacting the iecog.
isizances Was given by the Act we now are assem.
bled to annul ? Why are these efkcts out
expire with the Act which produced them ?
there is no end to the absurdities, in law and
policy, which at this Intrilliellt Cleini lute litttlatiOn
