IMPRISONMENT FOR LIBEL.

Mr.- Barintro said, that to the ease to whirl: he wished to
call the attention of the House, he had given much considera-
tion by instituting on inquiry into it. It had origin:snot front
a circular letter of the Noble Secretary of the Home Pepin.
ment, whose memory woold not soon be forgotten. This let-
ter was sent in Febroary 1817, and in the sinus month, two
;bosons. Jonathan Mellor, awl S Felling. of Warrington,
were approlbeided and their houses searolloi, under pretence of their
having vended libellous publications, of which itifaineus productions
none entertained more horror then he did. They were brought before
the Magistrates. and' were ordered to find bail by givirg personal se-
curity in the sum of teel. and two others in the uto of std. each, in
default of which they were transmitted to gaol, co:dined among
feleht, and condemned to hard brivur. If chow men had been the
author, of these publications, they coed not experience more severe
treatmeht, for even the Court of Kiog's Bench could not inflict more
severe punishment. Thdylea alleged wan that the gaol was crowded,
bus the crowded gaol did not oblige their mingling solely with felons,
their being allowed but felons' fare. For these facts, he had the
gaoler's statement, to whom no blame could be attributed. But the
two Magistrates were not equally blameless. Had the individuals
been tried, the result might have been the same as in the case of Mr.
Hone. After zeoonfinereent of four months, they bad been removed •
in an open cart, alongwith felons, and in September, were discharged.
upon personal secrinty, as a change of+ system Ltd taken Once: He
shottld next advert to the case of It. Swindells of Maecelesfield. On
the 10th of March. 1811, at itt o'clock at night, several people came
to the door of hie house and demanded admittance: The door being
opened, they rushed in, and asked for certain persons, who were not
thee. They then broke some trunks, and otherwise did considerable
, mischief. His wife was then advanced in her pregnancy ' • she was
deliveted of st child upon the 26th of April, and died upon the 28th
of the same Mouth. 'the child also died a short time afterwardso=.
Swindelh himself had been committed to custody for want of bail,
and in the course of five weeks had been liberated with trial. The
man had served for 11 years on board the Beet, and had rdweys
bonte.a good character. lie trusted the House wenld not allow such
proceedings to pass over without inquiry. The Honourable Member
coneldeled by moving, that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire
into thefesitions of .1: B. Mellor and S. Piling of Warrington. and
It. Swindells. of Macclesfield ; the two former of whom bad been
Caked into custody en tined and the hat on the turbo( March 1817.
Mu Heartueorit observed, that the statement as to the ease of
Swindells: was in many respects erroneous. The Hon. Member then
read a letter, which he had received on thesUbject, from a Magistrate
of Maoelestie:d. Tlie letter stated, that on the night in question, a '
large party had set out from Manchester. and had arrived at Maccles-
field, in consequence of' which the town was in rastate of great con-
fusion and alarm, and the cavalry had bete ordered to parade the
streets. infbrmation had been given, that Is party was assembled at
Swindells. and four of the litegurtrates repaired to the place. No
person had bee* found theies rear was he himself taken into custody.
His wife went the next day to work as usual. at a manufactory where
she was employed, and contented ii, do so for many weeks.
Mr. BLacicooneE stated, that no cruelty had born exercised in
the case of Mello, and Pilling: they had been sent to the workhouse
in an open cart, and secured by aeatall chain, and there was no other
way of doing so.
'The ATTORNEY .oEXEltit 1: contended, that the prtweeettione of
the individuals alluded to had been conducted with the greatest
possible lenity, and the men had bee* discharged on their own re:
deignilanco. They had published libels, and had been committed at
the Quarter Sessions. The bill was found, and had the men been at
large, they would have been liable to have been apprehended. But
he thought it Letter that a ease of that desefiption should be deter-
mined by the Judges, and he accordingly vemoved it by a writ of
certiorari inns the Court of King's Bench. He .bail not, as he
had a right to do, !re of the individuals in cristeidy. but gave orders
that they should be discharged upon entering into Unpile:lees. to
appear and plead on the first day of nest Term us the Court of
King's Bench. They made their appearance and were dis-
charged, the same reetignisances being taken far their appear-
ance when called upon. If any prosecution at all was to be own-
meneeds could he have done leas? As to their tiotnmiratent,
the Magistrates had a right, by two Statutes. to eremmit to the House
of Cotrecueo persons charged with offences. end it was usual so to
commit, and not to the coml.:oh ;owls; and by two other Statutes the
Magistratest had been empowered' ta commit, not only to the nearest
Clothe of Correction. but to the Haute of Correotioa for the County.
Sir S. Rommel' said the Honotrfahle and Learned Gentleman
who had jut't sat down, was mistaken in supposing that this was
a question attacking his conelitt particularly. It . was no such
thing; for he believed after the mi.n :Swindells) had been ithpri-
soned, the treatment he received em.lti nct be imputed in any man-
ner as a fault to the Attorney General.. As far, therefore, as related
to him he give Mtn credit tbr his humanity s bar he should observe
by the way, that he saw 'no necessity for one proceeding—the re-
now:dot the trial by tortlorori; thosgh even upoh that subject he
had no doubt that the Itunournble arrd Learned Gentleman mould
be able to give a satisfactory explanation. But what be had to db•
Peat°, and that which made hun think this qtristien most important
was, the !nailing of men with irens who had been alwansal only with
a political libel. This was a thing so atrocious in itaelf, that he was
certain, if mentioned a few years back. it wo•sit not have been be.
liceed. 'these men were dot indicted for a feleely, thsy were Onli
charged With a political libel. and though he did pot AO the length of
some Mothers In saying that these libels were blaenherrems, yet be
still highly disapproved of them and .their tendency: He was sur-
prised that his Hou. and Learned Atend Adis. AtOlitey Generale,
who had in his early days held su Ili lib&a'ai opinions of the .kiarty of
the presossoPinions which, he had no doubt, ne ail iiehl,hessia he
was surprised doubt could for a moment think 4;11,6610e to have
, trim sent in irons net only to prislin. lout babe enomined before the
Magistrate. and from thence sent huh to a mason • in en or.ll cart
stilrfettered. This was what be cornplitned of.that own. rot Such I
' charge, should be treated as the comuienest felons. Hot besides
the injuries already named, there ve4s. another. woe which lalsf'ettl
(however much they might differ at different sides of the House
t pon other strbjects) would be fully agreed. namely. the usurpation
of the right of searching for papers, in the house of a person only
charged With libel. The lionoorable and Learned Gentleman they
teeth on, contending that, according to 'the received mineiples of the
law, no man's house ought to have been searched under such cif-
comstances as those of the petitioners. It was also, in his opinion,
e.entriry ter legal preetice, to oblige any person committed for trial, to
any House of rorretlion, to codore hard labour. . .
)Ir. 8. u4THHeeT contended, that. the 4,atement of the Pcti•
toners was highly exaggerated. He would not say, that the search
for papers was justifiable. but did it follow dint because that was
wrong, that therefore the *hole of the proceedings repealing there
was unjust ? The flight I lonottrable Gentleinan then proceeded to
chew, that from the whole of what had appeared,' thereon:l nothing
proved which could require it Farliumentarty investigation.

DUTIES ON ROCK SALT.
Mr. ritcßAtT rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill, tc 10-r-Ft
the duties on Ruck Salt, as applied to agricultural purposes. He
stata.d, that he believed the Committee had nu objection to this
although the aletubers of it had taken other points cf great rumen t
into consideration, which the late period of the Session would,
feared, prevent them from bringing before the libuse. Hy the present
hill it was intended to hover The Duties on Rucir Salt from 101. p, r
ton, which had last year hv..en arranged as the del; 51. He there-
fore moved that the (louse should go into a Committee, to take into
consideration the Act of the 5 7111 of his nr•sent Majesty.
Ntr. WALLACE full) concurred with the ‘lotit:n of the Honour.
able Member. The House went into a Comatiltec,.and leave was
granted to bring in the Bill.
PRIZE NIONEY.
Mr. !It xtrr.T was desirous of inquiring from the Roble ford,
whom he saw in his place, by what regulations the Medical Officers
who were in attendance upon soon wounded soldiers in Eliussols w, re
deprived of their right in sharing aith their other officers the prize
money appointed to be distributed among them, while some officers
who were not at any of the battles, but who joined the army Open
their approacb to Paris, were allowed to participate in the benefit ?
Ldrd l'arairnitsTOre bhierved, that Mclical Officers generally
share with other officers in the prize money, but they were those aho
were in immediate attendance. If the Medical Officers at Brussels
were entitled,by the same rule those in England had aright to sheen'.
With regard to the officers who had joined ere my before it reached
Paris; although 'hey had escaped the dangers of a battle, they had
been promoted to encounter dangers, and were ignorant' of what event
might occur before they gained Paris. To deprive them of their
share of tl.e rife money wouldn't be eor.sistent. but the distrilmtion
of it among Medical Officer,; was regulated upon fiatecd'prinsipler,
from which it was not proper to deviate. •
The Alien Dili was read a third time and
Mr. Coon/ LNAE gave wit*. that on fai7fd

which, in their opinion, will be moth more efficacious
than the sinking of fire-plugs. The plan is as simple
as it is important. On-the appearance of a fire within
the range of the serving pipes of the water-works, they
