thetbis he was
fitedites. He was also to tire's to their Lookups
her -Mojestyls sorrow that the 'Dreyer of the Panties
which her Majesty Caused to be addressed yeldrirw'.,
day to their Lordships, had been rejected, sod that
lwr Counsel had not been permitted t. tote suds
matters of feet as would bei, is her ',pietism' seers.
sary for her defuse.. Her Majesty's Counted bed
also to remark to their Lorthdrips. that them had sp.
peered in the public newspapers ascertain publicatiiinr.
rpwling to be a .Report 011naskenr of those
sisitips' ifteaiss, tispu ling so her kiiiitoOriettos
the greatest sod West appallingssagnitoda. Of
this Report, as wmastating from their Loulehips'
Howse. it was to be supposed that the Qtatmen could
know nothing. Her Majesty. however, could cot
but be aware that such a Report woo known,
every word sad letter of it, to every maw. woman,
and child in, the kingdom capable of reading or of.
hearing; and she could not but feel that it impoted
such circumstances of criminality to bee as could
not fail of leaving • dark stain upon her character.
If such a Report did not emanate from that
House, it became their Lordships' duty to indict
the severest punishment upon those who dared, by
tongue or pen. so to abuse the authority of their
Lordships' name. impute such charges to time Queeo
Consort of this realm. and utter us gross. false.
and malignant a libel upon her character; for, if
it were a fabrication. so he could not he•itate to
designate it. The charges committed iu this Report
went much beyond what was contained in the most
strange. most anomalous, and most extraordinary
preamble of this most orange, most anomalous,
and most extraordinary Bill which he held in his
hand. Beyond the charges contained in the Bill
there yet remained much of direct imputation
against her Majesty. which would neither be este-
Wished by the enactment of the Bill, nor contra-
dicted by its being thrown out. He had lastly to
speak to time—the time of proceeding. and the
time or times fur which it might be thought
expedient, u occasions would arise, to ad.
joint or interrupt the proceedings. He had
it in command from her Majesty, span this
point, to demand an immediate investigation
without interruption or adjournment, that these
charge, might not rest spun be: character one boor
if passible, and that the proceedings should •be
immediate in point of consmencemein. and coati-
serous in proceeding. The Learned Gentleman
having concluded, the House ordered that Conned
should withdraw.
The Loan CHANCRLLOR then rose and said, that
he never could consent that CODblet should be per-
mitted to address them•elves to so many and to
such points as were embraced within the iumoruc-
tious of the Learned Counsel at the bar. The
Howse could not permit Consul either to amigo
the proceeding's which had hitherto beeo adopted,
or to advise them upon those which it might be
necessary to pursue. He should have no objection
to permitting Counsel to speak to the mode of pro-
ceeding upon the Bill now before the House. and
to the point of time; but be trusted that no prece-
dent would he established ip this point which it
might be found inexpedient to apply to all others.
Earl Gate remarked. that a permission to this
extent only would be far too I. •ted to meet the
object of the Queen, with regard. to the wore of
the proceeding before the Houle. The Learned
Counsel at the bar had stated, that he had been
instructed to argot. against the whole proceeding
fa:direr; and if their Lordships were to limit the
permission so much as was now proposed. they
might possibly prevent the attainment of strict
justice. The prayer of the present Petition ought
not, as he thought. to be refused, especially as the
House had received a Petition of a similar nature
on a former evening. and permitted Counsel to
speak to any point. To the receiving of the former
Petition. lie had indeed area some objections,
founded upon the general principles of parliament.
ary proceeding; hut in • case like the present, so
anomalous in its nature. where they had no light
from precedent to guide them. he should far prefer
a partial deviation from • strict rule, than to en.
counter the dewier of indicting an injustice.—
(Hear, hear.)—T'w Noble Sod Learned Lord ou
the Woolsack had spoken of the danger that Sleight
arise from establishing a
,precedent. in this case ;
but from this lie thought so inconvenieuce could
possibly arise. at least he trusted that no occasion
would thereafter arise that would render the appli-
cation of any principle now established neceesary.
The Earl of Lavaitettob concurred in the opi-
mime expressed by his Noble and Learned Friend
on the Woolitack. and moved that it be an Swarm.
ties to the Counsel for the Queen to speck 'sly to
the mode of proceeding opus the Bill, acid to the
tine of proceeding.
Upon this point some conversation arose, iu
which the Lord Chancellor. Loyd Holland, the
Marquis of Linsdown Earl Grosvenor, and Earl
Grey took a part, and Lord Liverpool's motion
wan carried.
Counsel being again ended in,
Mr. Broogliant mud Mr. Denman idealised to
the Intr.
The LORD CHANCELLOR addressed them. and
told them that lie was ctrusenanded by the Homo
to inform them that it was their Lordships' coo-
mend that the Counsel should address themselves
solely to the anode of proceeding spas the Bill, and
to the tine of proceeding.
Mr. Brougham they addressed the Hasse, and
said. that tie found no incousiderable difficulty in
comprehending fully the import of their Lord ships
command with respect to the first point of their
instructions, but he should to the utmost of his
understanding endeavour to conform its every re-
spect to its direct purport, and should he uulitetu.

Lordships. lif this second resolution his lime.;
argument ems Still more limbed thew he had at fret!
insegieed, for he was met hypogeum that this par.l
tinder Bill was irrevocably adopted ; that tins per-
Ocular Bill, with all its elauess soi parte, was to
be received as embleeing their Lordship. full and
settled determination. God knows for how !sag a
time ! so that he was not 'poly prohibited from
speaking Sword. not only against the mode of pro-
ceeding by a legislative =remote. but even against
the particular ntwasore which had bees submitted
to their approval. As this was the result of their
Lordships' deliberate wisdom. he was almost in.
dined to believe that this permission contained
matter of greater indulgence than he could inseam
dietely discover. If he. were limited to addreshog
their Lordships upon the mode of proceeding en
the particular Bill- now pending before them, he
moat confess that he knew not what to suggest.
When • Bill hos been reed • Mat time, he had
not been instructed, nor was he minded himself
to suggest any other course of preeeedieg then that
the Bill should proceed to the nest stage, the second
reading. and so onwards to • Committee. He
knew.of no fasciful new mode of legiel•lion rehich
he could feel it to hi. duty to propose—he could
suggest no Secret Committee to be interposed he-
tiween the first reading and the second ; be should
therefore decline taking any advantage of their
Lordships' indulgence *pm this point, and address
himself to the second pond of their instructions,
namely. the question of time. With regard to
time. therefore, he was cammanded by his Illus. .
trious Client to apprise the Hoese•of Lords' that
it was her Majesty's most earnest wish that nsideley
whatever should be interposed betweenithe charge
that hag been urged against bet homer, and the
hour of final detenninatim. harros her wish that
the farther proceedings might be undertaken this
ern*. or attbe furthest te•sierrens ; for it maim-
possible to suppose that her Majesty could rest for sire
instant under se grave a chsrge. without desiring, in.
stoutly if possible, to repel the accusation. A ramoec
had reached her Majesty's ears, for retnours worth' go
abroad, and under the present painful circumstances
of her Majesty's condition it was natural that her
ears should be readily open to every sound that bore
any relation to her case; he, too. had read • similar
statement, that her Majesty should receive the same
measure of justice. neither more or lee. that' if she
had been the meanest and lowest subject in the
land. Would to God her Majesty.. so far so the
present proceedings were concerned, instead of
being the highest, had indeed been the lowest and
humblest of the liege subjects of her consort the
King ! Would to God she had been the lowest of
his subjects, for then she had smiler appeared iu the
present most extraordinary manner at their Lord-
ships bar ! She had never been made the sub-
ject of this most strange and most anomalous
proceeding. A Bill of Divorce against the
meanest subject in the land ! A Bill of Pains and
Penalties against the meanest and lowest subject of
the land !! Had she. indeed. been such. she had
been fenced around by the triple barrier which the
laws of England erne to shield the honour stsd
character, still dearer than the life and property of
the meanest mod lowest subject. Her case had, in
the first instance, beer submitted to a Jury of, her
countrymen. not composed of the hired servonts•uf .
the assailing party, and holding their service dinar
pleasure—not consisting of persons bound to tint
party by gratitude for' past favours, and influenced
by the hopes of otherr. She would have been tried
by twelve honest, couscientious. and impartial ,
Englishmen. superior to the influence of fear or
favour. at whose doors such influence may reit for
ever without the possibility of the slightest portion
of it insinuating itself to affect their judgments.
She would have been tried by men who felt some
sympathy for her condition and her fate—by item
who, feeling that her case to-day may be that of
their own wives and daughters to-morrow. would' be
cautious how they lent themselves to giatifythe
passions or the prejudices of auy one. lie entreat.
ed their Lordships to look to the situation 'in which
this illustrious Lady was placed. lie was bound to
take it for granted that their Lordships. before they
had resolved to proceed by way of Bill. had rally
it•certained than there was no probability or even
possibility of any impeachment being preferred
against her Majesty. He was Mond to presume
that they would never have placed themselves in a
situation in which. as legislators, they sliould be
=tabled to learn the evidence upon which they
might be subsequently required', at Judges, to
determine. He was upend to presume that they
hod fully investigated and ekantitied all these plots,
and that they were clearly persuaded that no charge.
either of high Monett or of any other criminal set.
could be preferred against the Qoeeii, which might
be made the subject of judicial inquiry. But ad-
mitting that there was no act of high treason, on the
ground that the actions alleged to have been com-
mitted by her Majesty were perpetrated out of the

Mr.. Brougham resumed. He said, thet he rape-
rianced so guest a difficulty in fully understaridniK
the nature and import of their Lordships' nun ee-
lions, that he possibly might sometime,, even from
his anxiety to preserve himself within the line pre-
scribed. sad in striving to obtain' a purchase to that
effect, deviate unconsciously. He hod, lieleeiret,
endeevortied to do Ins duty to his unhappy though
Illustrious Client. and from this not vireo the parer
of the House of Lords shonW •presreist him. To
their Lordship.' authority he of earner eboteli#,
with all humility, submit himself, es to their power
lie must of necessity yield ; but from at lest
roder-
Touriug to do his utmost service to his Royal Client
no power wider Hessen should prohibit him. Thor
he and now endeavoured to effect. but Ire might he
permitted to remark to theii Lordships what pos-
sibly they had overlooked, that there was a close
connexion between his argamsent and tire point of
time to which he had, iii pursuance of their Lord-
ships' instructions, addressed himself. It was lug
duty; patchy by argument. and portly by orspreeratig
to theth her Majesty's writhes. to induce their Lord-
ships to proceed at once to the second reading of
the Bill, for the purpose of throwing it out. His
object was to deprecate delay. and lie had been
pointing out one oLthe views in which he had ireh•
garded the incoavaiiences which most tune from
laretponieg fur en instant the father proceeding'
in this case. -He would. however, bend in every
instance to their Lordships' 'planter. fur the Halve
of Lcrds was used to-he jest—
The LORD CMANCILLOR-44. The Howe is used
to he kw. awl they gave you their instructions that
they might preserve that character."
Mr. Brougham then proceeded to argue. dent no
iaconvenience meld possibly arise to any of the pit.
ties concerned from speeding the case, with the ex,-
caption. perhaps. oilier Majesty, who. indeed. peo-
perly speaking. could slaw be regarded as • patty.
For it would ill became him to regard their Lont•
ships as a party, although he maw confess that an
order to the Attorney-General to attend did savour
something of party. As he ( %Ir. Brougham) attend-
ed for the Queen, so was the Attorney-General
attend for sonic one ; and as the Atterriey-Qenetil
was the Lew Officer of the Crown, he was induced
to suspect that the Ministers of the Crown were the
parties on the opposite side. He then commented
warmly sod generally upon the itsposaihility of the
Miiiisteis of the Crown. who were to be rerstdatl
as accusers. sitting among their Lordships in this
quality of Judges.
The Bishop of EIRTER here rose, and at let
desire Counsel were ordered to withdraw. The
Reverend Bishop then said. e• I-desire, my Lora.
to know whether the lime of argument now pursued
by the Learned Cosnerl at the bee. is cousisinim
with the instructions given by your Lordships."
Lord HOLLAND-64 This is the most estrum,.
