repress. The Government, of which his Noble and Learned
Friend had formed a part, had abstained from such prosecu-
tion, and it was in the deliberate exercise of their judgment,
that the present Government had acted as they had done. He
denied, therefore, that they were to be charged with remiss-
ness for the course they had adopted. On the part of the
Government of this country, as well as on the
behalf of the Government of India, he courted the utmost
latitude of inquiry, either in that or in the other House of
Parliament.—( Hear, hear.) He was glad that the gene-
rality of the topics of the Speech had met with the approba-
tion of their Lordships, and he trusted that their Lordships
would unanimously agree to the Address.

After a few ob;er;ations from Lord BROUGHAM in expla-
nation, the Address was agreed to, and the House adjourned
at HALF-PAST NINE, to Thursday.
