Constitution. This was. a private charge. The King wanted to
get rid of his wife, Sir .1. Leech had put the King into the pre•
tiicament of coming, like any other person, to be separated, and
he must come with clean hand:.—(Order). 11e had heard there
were no recriminations, but if his Majesty came before them, it
must be %till clean hands. When the Bill came before die House
it would he a question whether his Majesty was not, when the
Priocess of Brunswick came over, living w adultery. He (Mr.
Creevy) had advised against the proceedings. This Bill would
shake the habits and the feelings of the country. There was now
absolute necesity for having upon the table the Papers moved for.
NVith these few words he concluded.
The previous question was then carried without a division,
Lord CA sTLEREAGIi moved that :the Order which stood
for to-morrow, for resuming the adjourned debate on the King's
Message, be now read for the purpose of jiostponing it to the
15th tug.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY' moved an amendment, that the order
should be discharged.
Mr. BENNET!' said, that the People would look narrowly
at the efforts of Government against a desolate woman. If great
caution was not taken, a desperate blow would be given to the
credit of the Nlonarchy.
Tice Debate terminated by the rejection of the Amendment,
and the agreement in the Motion of Lord Castlereagh.
The other Orders of the Day being disposes( of, the House
adjourned.
