Malign, which ht could fully denial on; 1 4 'F'ran•

the horrible outrage that took place at Lougloho,
rough. One circumstance lee wished to state, which
the -Made Lord opposite had omitted, namely, that
previous to trial, be had disclosed In the
solicitor ly whom he was defended, the part he had
taken in various disturbances—which comnionica-
time sifter his execution, the solicitor made known
to :he proper authority.—/Hear, hear, lear.)—
This disclosure agreed, in aulposence, with what the
Noble Lord had stated.—/Heir.,—The Hon.
Gentlemen, then !mid a high compliment to Cord
Sielmouth, for his liintianity—but soggevted, thin
though his Lordship would not autleorke severity
to be rtseel towards any prisoner, smite or die.« whei
acted under hint, he alluded to the keepers of pri-
sons, might mot be influenced by the same good
feeling. Now, if any instance or improper se-
verity could he proved to have taken place
der the Suspension Rill, the House ought to in-
quire into it. He could not, therefore, oppose
the motion, embracing, as it did, the cases of se-
veral persons whose characters were not stated to
be similar to that of Word. With respect to that
greet criminal, he regretted that he had not been
brought to justice—end he hoped evidence soOlicient
would yet be found to bring him to condign pu-
nishment.
Mr. GOLDING, in answer to certain allega-
tion. contained in the Petition of Julio Knight, in
which he complained of having heel, maltreated
while in Reading gaol, by Mr. Eastaffe, the gaoler,
reed a letter from fist individual, in which he set
forth, that the kindest attention was paid to Knight,
and his companions. Nathaniel Hutton end Jame,
Sellers, while they were under leis care. Stllers
and Halton had written a letter to the Magistrates
of the county, in which they thanked Mr. Eastaffe
fpr his kind couduct, which letter the Huu. Member
.ilso reed.
Sir W. Lemon said. that, although he believed
neither the Noble Lord at the head of the Home
Departaneat, wee any of his Majewte's Ministers,
would use the powers pointed to them, fora bad
porprise....yet it Was not ea clear that others would
act with the same propriety. And, as Petitions,
complaining of grievances, were laid before the
Houae--although one of them was not borne out.
and perhaps none of them would be—he conceived
the Members of that House were directly required
to examine them.

ttitioners said it Jul take !Aare. That was the ques.
tip„ at is,„,—,,ad haw enss it to be decided but by
■ Committee ? Not such a Cootioittee Halved as that
now pitting, which was fnrmr►l by the Noble Lord

of con u mope iii the country, lie was grossly

it convenient to trust to one which Would fairly iii-

Some money transactions had been the cause of
Mr. Aria's remove! ; but notwithstanding the anec-
dote respecting his having killed a bird, lie be.
Mewed 'hut nothing had tianspired to impeach his
humanity. He objected to sin inquiry in conse-
quence of the bail character of some of the peti-
tioners, but stated, that if any particular point
contained in them had been properly investi-
gated
by any Gentleman, he for one would
consent to have it referred to a Committee. He
defended the occasional Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act. which he characterised as the means of
ultimately ensuring the safety of the Constitution ;
tad stated, that in every free Government of a►►ti.
(pity, a similar authority existed.
Sir F. Buanarr and Mr. WILBERFORCE mu•
Wally explained.
Sir S. Kontt.LY—The question before the
Houv was, whether gross abuses had not occurred
in exercising the powers intrusted to Miiiisters by
Parhament; and whether it was consistent with
justice br common sense that no oilier inquiry
should take place concerning this matter but one .
wherein no other evidence should he produced but
such as the Ministers thought proper to present. It •
appeared that a number of persons had been goad-
ed into violence. and hurried is. irons front prison
to prison. as if far the purpose of spreading alarm,
and extending the evidence of the alleged con- I
'piracy. The Noble Lord had said that even should
a Bill of Indemnity pass, it would not prevent (it'll
or even criminal actions from being brought against
gaolers, or other persons, who had wantonly abused
the powers intrusted to them ; but if, as the •'
Noble Lord had acknowledged, the Bill of In-
demnity now about to be brought in was to be
the same as that of 1801, there could be no
doubt that no civil action or criminal prosecution
could be supported. Were there no Suspension
of the Act of Habeas Corpus, the acts ge-
nerally complained of in these Petitions were
not in the►nselves illegal. It was not illegal
to put a man amend of high Watson in irons ; it
was not illegal to put hint into solitary imprison.
ineut ; but it because a matter fit for inquiry• to see
whether such acts were necessary for the safe cus-
tody of the prisoner. or were only wantoaly
iuflnct-
ed. The falsity of some allegations contained in
the Petitions did not affect the propriety of inves-
tigating the rest, against which tio imputation lad
been objected. Should it not be inquired, why a
man 74 years of age. oppressed with disease, had
been losded with irons until his life had been en•
dangered ?—why at Oxford then had been con-
fined in unwholesome dungeon*? An Hon. Friend
had ►easarked on the powers which had existed iii
ancient republics, but let I►im consider to what
such power" had tended. It was by degrees that
the dierstorship was rendered perpetual, and by the
same means would the frequent soapenston of the
Habeas Corpus Act tend to the ultimate ruin of the
Constitution.—(Hear. hear.)
Mr. Ammonite testified to the general conve-
nience of (wont gaol, and to the humanity of the
gaoler. The only complaint be bad heard egotism
the gaol was, that the chimney in one of the
apartments smoked.
Mr. 11. SUIINKR Mated, that when Ogden was
brought to Horsemenger-lease lie was afilicted with
the disease of which he had complained, and that
au operation had bees. there skilfully lierforissed
hint by me, Dixon; that be subsequently appeared
neetflinaing with gnnitoide far the kindness lie bad 1
e'xpe►ienced, and had blessed Goal for having beau
swot to the gaol, to which he attributed the safety
of his life.

Mr. GORDON wished to say a few words in
defence of the keeper of Gloucester gaol. Mr.
Couniugbans, who bad been accused. by John
Maguire in his Petition, with having caused him
to be placed in a cistern of cold water, in conse-
quence of which he contracted a fever. The fact
appeared to be. that he had been placed, not in a
cold, but in a warm-bath, to refresh him. lifter
the fatigue of a long journey. He was imprisoned
in Gloucester gaol, on the 12th of A pail. and was
not taken ill till the 20th of May, so that the
warm-bath could not be supposed to be the cause
of his indisposition. Balguley had a aiding-room
and • sleeping-mini. He was allowed a Koalas per
week for previsions. And Mr. Cunningham. who
anxiously wished for inquiry, permitted, not merely
the visiting Magistrates, but any Magistrate ?1,
the county, to -have free access to him. Still,
however he conceived inquiry ought to be granted.
Si, W. Guns corroborated the statement of the
last speaker, as to the care and attention bestowed
on Maguire.
Sir F. BeaDere did not pretend to have so un-
biassed a mind on this subject as those Gentlemen
who preceded him seemed to possess—because he
recollected when he formerly brought the character
of the keeper of Coldsbeth-fields Prison (Mr. Aria)
before the House. and was desirous of sibistass-
define, by evidence, the charges he epode against
him, Gentlemen proceeded exactly as had been
done this evening with respect to other spielers. and
declared that Mr. Avis. whose real character was
afterwards discovered, was composed of 'guiltiest but
the milk of human kindness.--(Neer. bar.)
The Hon. Member for Yorkshire (Mr. Wilberforce))
expressed his belief that he was a pattern of kind-
ness- and humanity—and would not credit the story,
that he had created in his hand a robin red-breast,
whieh.dering • hard wiutrr. had intend the cell
of a person condemned to solitary confinement, and
deprived the unhappy individial of his only source
of amusement.—(Hew. hear.)—When he stated
this. he did it, that Gentlemen should not he sur-
prised. if he did not. on the moment, give the ut-
most degree of credence to those stateinetits which
different gaolers had drawn up with respect to their
own conduct. At the same time, he was happy to
fitul. that, except in one or two iustancer, all the
petitioners agreed in praising the keepers of differ-
ent prisons for their kindness. All that had been
said relative to the character of Francis Ward, was
foreign to the question. Suppose hint to he a very
bad man—suppose him to have committed the
murders recently perpetrated at Greenwich—what
had that to do with the injury ? The question was
—had he been legally charged with high treason—
had he beerklegally treated sender that charge—and
had he been. 11y discharged from it ?—(Harr./
—The Noble Lord had kept die true question out
of sight, and, therefore, bad not grappled with the
legal argument of his Noble Friend. The Noble
Lord, under whom all those scenes took piece,
however kind he might be, was accountable for
them. If he were ignorant of them, his very igno-
rance was criminal. But the old legal maxim—
"s (Jeri /ode per onion Atli per se," applied di-
rectly to him. His good charades had beets re-
, sorted to, as a reason for graistiser this power to
Ministers, which had been so shamefully abused.
And now, when the abuses were complained of, it
was user) as a reason for nut going into inquiry.
Was, he would ask, the case of Ogden, an Old
mats of 74, who was loaded with irons. that pro-
duced a rupture—was that case false? Was the
case of two individual*. who were chained in bed
together—se,. Hint without fonnsfation ? There
could he no ground for inch severity. its cells
escape. from which was impossible. The Noble
Lord said, Ministers wanted no Bill of Indemnity.
But surely the Hoare must recollect how they
talked shoot like, responsibility whew iscreeinx

that Act was pending. he moved, but less twins,
was rejected, that persons arrested under it should
unt be ironed. The character of the Noble. Lord
(Sidinouth) was advanced as a proof that such se-
verity could not take place. But some of the Pe-
