Mr. SCARLETT was glad to bear is hat had failen from
the crown's 'KW offiel,f, anti condemn:A: the Coaraeter and
principles of titi4 association. As to liadmg rurh security for
goad behaviour, it became impassible. An to thr postpone
meat of trials, lie loved the circunistaiice would he con-
sidered before the sittings were fixed fat October ; this hail
been submitted to for two pears—but if gentlemen were re.
quired to attend to the profession oft he taw, they could not lie
expected to attend all the year roui.d, sundays excepted.—
He also was sorry to find that no progress had been male in
the erection of hew courts; so that he feared next term hey
would be subjected to the inconveniences of having separate
and distant courts.
Mr. M. A. I'AYI.OIt thought that it would he ads des
able to take into consideration whether it would not be ad-
vantageous to free the Common Pleas from the
Inch now hound that court, and enable it, like the
Bench, to try criminal causes. What he thought of was
the public—ha was for preventing the delays of Justice.
NI r. I)EN MAN said, he should look at any such alteration
with considerable jealousy. Ile hail heard what had fallen
from the Attorney General with much satisfaction. The
practice of binding over for good behaviour had originated
with Lipid Siiliiinul les frowns circular. To try the correct-
ness of the circular, Mr. Butt brought tin action against Sir
N. Coorint ; and Mr. Ilidt was now imprisoned fur the casts.
Sir N. Comint's costs told, he understood, been paid by the
tiensury ! Was that fact true I—Petition read, and ordered
to be printed.
SiciCir AND NAPLES—Colonel DAVIES presented a
petition from Capt. Romeo, setting forth the services he had
rendered to the Sicilians, and portir utility to the Ilrilish
army when in that island. The petition having been read,
Lord LONDONDERRY said, that this was the second
time Capt. Romeo had appealed to parliament. As to the
treatment of the petitioner, his loidship hail directed Sir W.
A'Court to institute all possible enquiry. and to see that
Capt. R. expert( need em vexatious resentment on aceoun
of his political character, or of his services to the British
ninny. lie thought there was no case made out to warrant
the interference of the house.

Lord W. BENTINCK admitted, that if Capt. R. hal
demands for services, the) ouAlit to have been made to him
hut his suffering, and losses in consequence of his connection
with the British a rniy stood on quite a different footing As
to the pension, it should have been snore, or nothing at nil ;
and the money rendered for the pension should have been on
a more liberal scale. _ _ .

31r. C. 11. HUTCHINSON tin id, the services of Captain
Romeo had met with taunting insult. That wHs most unjust.
The British officers had said that Captain Romeo's conduct
towards the British army had drawn on him the enmity of
his own government. He thought Captaii Romeo was en-
titled to the generous consideration of this country.
Captain DAVIS 'tdied, there were certificates in support
of Captain Romeo's conduct from those Neapolitan officers,
&c. on whose subsequent statements the noble nu:rqiiis now
relied. He ho:),,I the government would re-constder the

having been reduced frum 220 in one year to twenty or tees.
He had not yet been able to examine the cases submitted to
him, which accounted for the delay that had taken pines.,
Mr. S. WHITBREAD then brought forward his motion
on the Bridge-street atemciation, condemning the soci-ty,
and maintaining that it waseontrary to the principles and
spirit of the constitution. He concluded with moving an
address to the King, praying his Majesty to direct the Attor.

Mr. Bathurst, Dr. Lusbington, Sir M. Cholmondely, Mr.
Wilberforce, and Mr. Deiimin f.illon ed.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion,
considering that it would be premature to it:;ree to any such
proposition.
