consequetices.--( Loud 'HMI emit limed cries of hear.)
fortunate case of Mr. Vyse, the Hon. Baronet, beforebe called it
" legal murder," ought to have remembered that the inquest was
stilj sitting--that all the evidence bad not vet been heard, (hear,
hear, hear). But if the Hon. Baronet valued the peace of society.
he conjured him to abstain from such language at the present moment
cheering).— As to himself, he knew that the delu'ded multi-
tude had sought for him in all directions that they might heap des-
truction en his head—hut as he had only introduced the measure
from a sense of public duty--a measure that would not benefit him
for any other belonging to him one sixpence—he should not flinch
from the consequences. He again conjured the Hon. Baronet to do
what be thought was Iris bounden duty, to abstaiu flout using such
langnage /its had just fallen from hint.
Lord CAsTI.EI: II declared, notwithstanding they had heard from
him an invective against the Constitution in its present form, and
to less sincere an invective ag 'lost the Govertuneet, that lie consi-
dered the Hon. Baronet the sincerest and the most effectual sup.
porter of the Corn Bill in that House (loud cheering). If in his heart
lie were not the sincere friend of the measure, why had he never'
once attended in his place in that House to oppose it (continued
cheeriest.) He had given some explanation of his sentiments, but the
explanation was at best equivocal (hear, hear!) and his belief of Sir
V. Burdett's real opinion was still unaltered, Tbe Hon. Baronet had
charged the Government with wantonly introducing the military,
and thereby abetting in the comtnission of" legal murder;" but three
or four years a:o, when so many lives were lest by the disturbances
in the metropolis, TII EN " every man's house was his castle." (loud '
and continued cheering.) But, now, whets those outrages took
place, which even the Hon. Baronet could not defend, when peo-
ple adopted means to secure their property front destruction—when,
deeming " their house their castle," they resisted those who would
break in upon such sacred territory, they were guilty of • legal mur-
der" (incessant cheering). He knew his own temper, and be believed
it would carry him through the arduous trial; bat this was such an
insult to common seme,as to rouse up all the feelings of his nature. He
never expected to hear such an abuse'of the liberty Of debate (hear.)
Although they might dispute about the principles- of the Hon Ba-
ronet, Isis practice of them was clear enough, for what he aimed at
was nothing less than a sebversion of the Constitution. (Loud and
continued cheering from all sides of the Honse,)—The lion. Baronet
came there to invite the opposers of the Corn Bill to join him in
the promotion of his wisher'. Fit oily believing this, he (Lord CO
would call on them to declare whether they were prepared to em-
bark in the cause of the Hon. Baronet, and join with hint in the
aobversion of the Constitution. He conjured then, to reflect on
the consequences of identifying themselves with the Hon. Baronet,
and to labour to clear themselves tiont , any such imputation.—
Hear, hear.)
Mr. M. A. TayLon defended the. introduction of the military,
observing, that the Hots. Baronet was a little out in his law in
supposing that it was not perfectly warrantable to use all possible
means of defence whets a matt's castle was attacked.
Mr. Ille'ruusrn, though an opposer of the 13111, disclaimed ail par-
ticipation its the Hon. Baronet's principles
Sir A. PAGET said, that the people were strongly cautioned I
against remaining, before the soldiers fired out of Mr. Robinson's
house.—(Hear, hear!)
Sir J SEBRIGIIT also defended the introduction of the military
wider civil controut. thinking that the Government had evinced
too much moderation —(Hear !) If his house were attacked, re-
gardless of what the Hon. Baronet's constituents might think On
the subject, he should defend it by all possible means—(Hear !)
Sir F. fivenEirr wished to say a few words its explanation. Ile had
not meant to attach any imputation to the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr.
Robinson) : 6e had objected generally to the introduction
of a military force," which he toast consider as a symptom of military
despotism. lie had argued dist the civil [meet alone ought to quell a
tumult in rumor times, whets a standing army was a thin(' unknown
try the nation. In these days the civil power had been sufficient, and
Is by not now ? " I must now (said the Hon. Bart.) allude to certain
expressions which she Noble Lord has thought proper to use. That
Noble Lord has charged me +4 ith a wish to subvert the constitution ;
I charge him with having actually subverted the constitution in the
sale of seals in Parliament. Ile was di-iecied in the fact. The No-
Me Lord uugt-t to have lost_Cis head ; and would hive lost it, it the 'prise
bad not oeen ma corrupt tiwimp-ach him. He ecenped because de
delinquency was gyncral. The Noble Lord may laugh, rind so may the
majority behind and around hull ; but you, Sir, (inr.:ing to the
Speaker) did not think it a subject of ridicule when in the %slung lan-
guage. of iisdi2nation and abhorrence yam denounced the practice as

Mr. METuticsi called the Hon. Baronet to order. Such language
was a violation of the usages of Parliament.
After loud calls of " Citair, Chair."
The SAEAKER obseryed, that the Hon. Baronet had been long
enough in Pa:liament to know that such language was disorderlvt
Sir F. lieuDETT—" I know it, but I wish that all your orders
were obeyed, and I wi•II also that it was a breach of truth as well as
of your orders to declare that this House ill collected together by
corrupt incous."
Mr. H. SuNINErt wishes[ the Hon, Baronera words to In' taken
