(Loud cries of " Question!" when the Noble Lord sat
down.)
Lord ERSK I NF. took the opportunity to notice the ar-
gument of the N..tile Lord on the Woolsack, w hich was
grounded on the case of the murdered man. The eireion-
stances stated were certainly a strong presumption of guilt, I
hot lie begged to know what the Jury wuald have thought
if the person brought forward to prove the murder, had du-
dared in Cunt, that he had seen neither the bloody knife
nor the mu. tiered man?—(Hear, hear, bear.)-ssTbis was
the case to is deli the present indeed might be compared,
fur lie oust assert that so complete 0 contradiction to the
statement of the Attorney-General had never been given,
than that which appeared all through the evidence fur the
prosecution, from the mouths of the wonesses, not only iii

The fluke sir GRAFTON said, that after leaving looked
with the greatest attention to the es eleece for the Bill, and
particularly to that of ilifujneelli inid De Mont, he
upon his homier and conscience, say, "Nut Guilty."--s
(Loud cares of Dear, beau).

Me Marquis 'if DONEGAL said, these were some pow-
erfel contradictions to be found is the most essential parts
of the evidence. flit vote should be aeaiust the Bin, as a
measure injurious to all parties, as well as to the best in-
terests of the nation.

The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said, the House not having
veparattal that most objectionable Ciau,e from the Bill, he
was cotapelled, by his conscientious fee rings, to vote against
the third reading of the Dill. (Loud cries of }Far). Ile re-

usually voted p lint he was convinced that consistency of C'/II-

Lord DA RN LEY could not let the question go to their

Peers hied lakeu their he ob3erve.l, that he hail been
intuited with u petition from her Majesty, praying to be
heard by counsel against the passing of the hill. (Much

Lord 11%'E8.P001., on the goestion that the Bill do lets',
declured his convictim of the Queen's guilt; yet, with a
majority so small, and telitig how (litho It it would he to ha-
. press conviction on tile !tooth: mind, tie should feel it his ditty
to propose, that the fur: her pnsciiedilois on this Ili II Fllolllll he

cheering took place ut this tioexpected declaration.)
Ead GREY row as suua as the Earl of Liverpool had re-
soon rl scat, but the einifusion did 110 t subside until after
his lordship had been fad some time on his lugs. Ilis lordship
numpliiined of the whole course 11l i t timers had pursued with
regard to the bill, which, after the declaration of the nolsle
earl, could scarcely be said to be before the 140111 C, but which
was still before the etatistrj, and would lung live in its meminy.
(Hear). lie charged the streams of the crown with the
grossest neglect of duty, in the first instance, in listening
ugly ao u-parte evidence, and giving a aiding credence to
the mast exaggerated and unfoutuJett caluinaies. (Loud ehet-r.)

and they fool given a most fae our:dile (opportunity, ,sere it

They hail betrayed their Bing, insulted their Queen, (cow
liuued cries of hear from all sides), and had LtiVell a shock to
the murals of society by promulgation of the detestable
and disgusting evidence, in the la.ariog of ss hich the house
had been so lung occupied. ( I Icor.) I iii lordship also repro-
bated in the stie•erest terms the cl•eiduict of the Milan cu 's-

lint to obtain testimoay of guilt, had found in thiseunooy but
too great an inclination to put faith in all the stories their

side, that the people ut Uteat Britain isolllll Ina be satisfied
with the niere withdrawing the nicasioe, but %%oak' de-

cheering.)
Lord EItSKINE followed Earl Grey, and expressed the

performed, lie had }et at length lived to Ste justice—tarily nett
