the advisability of giving the optionof trial by jury or
not, if he had been represented as pledging himself
against that proposition, he had eithe'r not expressbd
what he meant, or been misunderstood. He merely
said it required the gravest consideration, because ad-
mitting that many questions, such as of commonAlebts,
might be - ordinarily, safely, and perhaps better tried
and decided by a judge, with the intervention of a
jury—assuming that he felt bound to own the
advantage to the numerous body who perform the
duties of " jurymen at assizes, and who invariably
left the court more intelligent than when they entered
it, he thought they ought not to make any change with-
out looking at the question in every point of view. So
far from having come to any determination not to-adopt
the same view as his noble and learned friend, he might
be brought to think that the advantage of a cheaper trial
might .be greater than the disadvantage of mixing up
duties in the' administration of justice. He felt bound,
in common with the whole country, to-express his sense
of the obligations under which they rested to his noble
and learned friend for, the zeal-with which he had ad-
dressed himself to this subject, and he could assure him
he should always receive with most respectful attention
any suggestion he might make. (Hear.)
The bill was then read a first time.

A bill-to supply an omission in the act of last session
relating to the valuation of rateable property in Ireland
was read a first time, and notice given to pass it through
all its stages to-morrow.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.)
HOP DUTIES.

Mr. FREWEN presented s,„ petition from the hop
planters of the county of Sussex and Weald of Kent,
and others interested in the cultivation of hops, assem-
bled at a public meeting held on the 14th day of Decem-
ber last, praying for a total repeal of the excise duty on
hops. The hon. member then proceeded to move
" that the excise duty on hops is impolitic and unjust,
and ought to be repealed." A deputation which had
waited upon the noble lord who was lately at the head
of the Government had received no support, and, there-
fore, had urged him to bring the subject before the house.
In the year 1849 the duty had been 145,6931., in 1850
424,7021., in 1851 and 1852 236,6231., so that the aver-
age was little more than 200,0001. per annum. This
tax was first imposed in 1711, and considerably increased
in 1802. Iu 1905 it had been decreased 2d. in the pound,
but even now it amounted to nearly 14/. per acre. A
large crop in fact, which ought to be a blessing, is by
the operation of this law actually made a curse. In some
cases the amount of duty paid for the hops grown upon
five or six acres out of a hundred, actually exceeds the
rent of the whole farm. He could prove that within the
last fortnight four-fifths of the hop planters of Sussex had
signed a petition for tho total repeal of this tax. He
was aware that a meeting had been held at Maidstone,
at which resolutions had been proposed hostile to the re-
peal of the hop duty, but this would only show that the
gentlemen who passed those resolutions held in their hands
an improper monopoly. He was aware that to-day a large
deputation had waited upon the head of the Government
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, praying that the
tax might not be repealed, and it was natural for
planters of ample means to expect, by the operation of
this large tax, to beat down opposition. The operation
of the tax was to drive a large portion of the land out of
cultivation, and this surely was impolitic, and with
these views he had brought forward the present
measure.

Mr. FULLER was understood to agree with the
measure of the hon. member for Sussex.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted
that the house would not now be led into the discussion
of the question. He would freely admit to the hon.
gentleman that the case of the county of Sussex was un-
doubtedly a hard one, as compared with some more
favoured districts. But he regretted not to be
able to go any farther with the right hon. gentle-
man. The opinion of the hon. gentleman that the
tax was of slight importance to the Exchequer was
erroneous. Considerable importance was attached to
the 300,000/. raised by this tax. It was, however, im-
politic to consider any single tax by itself. It was im-
politic to remove a tax before it was decided bow to raise
the necessary expenditure of the year. He was convinced
that the house would not sanction this motion. It
would soon now be seen what was the estimated
expenditure for the year, and then, if the revenue
of the year exceeded that expenditure, it would be
time for the honourable member to bring forward his
measure. He entertained no doubt that the house would
refuse to adopt the motion of the right hon. gentleman.
' He had been called upon by an hon. member to give up
the whole of the advertisement duty, and he had heard
that night of a motion to be brought forward for the
repeal of the wine duties. It was his duty to give a
negative to the motion before-the house. -
Mr. BALL should vote against the continuance of the
tax, and was confirmed in this intention by what had
fallen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard
to its inequality. The removal of this tax was only
carrying out that free-trade principle which had been
confirmed by the house.
Mr. DEEDES was sorry to say that it was not the
first time he had opposed the member for Sussex on mo-
tions of this sort. It seemed to him that it was
the intention of the honourable member to play Sus-
sex against all England, but he hoped that the
umpires would see to the fairness of the game. The
attempt to repeal the hop duty by a planter, was a sui-
cidal act.

have liberty to read the scriptures in his own house
but that nobleman declined to avail himself of any such
privilege' but stood on the rights of a citizen of Tusctany,
secured to him by the constitution.. He deolined to re-
'ceive any favour individually, but contended for the
rights of his poorer brethren, and finding that. he would be
sentenced to banishment on .that account, he, preferred to
endure a voluntary exile, and quit a country where he
could not worship God according to his conscience. On
the 25th of April power was given to the police to send •
persons into banishment for a year for any religious or po-
litical offence, and under that ediet persons were seized and
sentenced to banishment. Between that time and the •
26th of August the arrests continued, but on the 26th, as
would be found by reference to papers on the table, an
Englishman, Mr. Walker, and. two Florentines, were
waiting to see Madiai at his house, when the police entered,
and they were searched and taken to prison. Madiai, on
his return, was also taken to prison, and, on the following
day, the wife,
Rosa Medial, and her maid servant,),Yrere
also conveyed to prison. In September, a young cleakln
the post-office was arrested upon the charge of possessibg a
Bible. For no other offence he was taken frem.his family, ,
ind had not since been released. On November the 25th, ,
c. decree was issued, charging Francesco Madiai and Boas.
Madiai, his wife, with impiety, and the right to condeinsu
them was attempted to be established under theOth art&
ale of the Leopoldine Code. By that article it was declared

to be a public overt act against the Catholic faith. The
evidence given en the trial in favour of Rosa Madiai was
very remarkable. All the witnesses spoke of her as one
who was not only tolerant to their religion, but who was
in the habit of impressing upon them—that is, upon Roman
Catholics—the duties of keeping its observances so long as
they continued within it. Her whole life seemed to be
a series of acts of charity. Sho interested herself with mita-
terathat their servants might be at liberty to attendmass, and
the Public Minister himself, in his speech. said that the
acts of goodness, of probity, and of benevolence of Rosa
Madiai caused him to grievefor her separation from the
Catholic faith, but could not lessen the effect of the act she
had committed. There was a poor blind man whom she
used continually to lead to mass, and go again to lead him
home from it, so far was she from possessing anything of
that spirit of proselytism that was attempted to be fastened
upon her. (Hear.) When sentence was pronounced, it,
preated the greatest sensation throughout ,„H Tuscany.
~.e
was told that the judges were not unaniniens in the
sentence. • There were live judgew-,--tvii were in favour of
pardon, two for a conviction. The president of the court
gave the casting vote, and he was credibly informed that
he was almost unable to conclude so much did his voice
falter. The strongest feeling was displayed by the public,
and the verdict was received with shouts of "Gli assassini,
gli assassini (the assassins, the assassins)—they have suc-
ceeded." He held in his hand a translation into French of
the decree, to which he begged to call the attention of the
house. Me expressed his regret that such a law as that
under which they were convicted should now be revived
to intimidate, and to be carried into execution against
unfortunate people who conceived that they were guaran-
teed in their liberty by the constitution. (Hear, hear.)
Tho reason why he (Mr. Kinnaird) appealed to that house
was that this case of the Madiai was not an individual in-
stance of persecution. There were not only hundreds but
thousands in that part of Europe who were positively living
under a reign of terror. He had recently received a letter
stating that there were vast numbers, beyond any conception,
in prisons for the like supposed offences. He now took the
first opportunity that had presented itself of expressing his
gratitude to the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) for his recent
dispach on this subject. (Cheers.) That dispatch only con-•
firmed him (Mr. Binnaird) of the importance of bringing,
public attention to bear on this point. There was on matter
which he died not gather from the papers before the house,
but of the truth of which he was credibly informed. He
referred to the conduct of the King of Prussia in this
matter, of which he thought it behoved that house to speak
with great praise. The moment that Monarch heard of the
sentence on the Medial he wrote to his minister at the court

of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, expressing his deep sympathy
with the cause of those unfortunate persons and he (Mr.
Kinnaird) was credibly informed that the King of Prussia
had instructed his minister at this court to propose to her
Majesty's Government a united representation on the sub-
ject. He (Mr. Kinnaird) could not remove the conviction
from his mind, that if at that period the suggestion of the
King of Prussia had been acted upon—if this country, in
concert with the King of Prussia, the King of Holland,
and the Government of the United States—being the chief
Protestant powers—had addressed a representation to the
Grand Duke of Tuscany on this subject, not in a menacing
or dictatorial tone, but in firm and energetic language, and
not, as had been done, in an unofficial manner, he could
not but think that the Grand Duke would have shrunk
from the responsibility attaching to his conduct in this
matter. He thought, too, looking at the state of Europe,
there were not wanting facilities for such an alliance,
which would be productive of the very best effects. He
knew there were many honourable members who thought
that house would not be justified in interfering in this

matter, because it Nras one between the Tuscan—Govern-

ment and its own subjects. He thought that proposition
had been admirably answered in the dispatch of the noble
lord (Lord John Russell) on the table of the house.
(Cheers.) But he would remind the house that this was
not the first time the Protestant powers had been called
on to interfere on behalf of their persecuted brethren on
the continent. In 1709, by the treaty of Utrecht, there
was a special provision entered into between Great Britain,
Prussia, and Holland, for the protection of the Waldenses
in the exercise of their religious liberties • and there was
a time when a ruler of this country—one whose name must
be dear to every Englishman.--compelled Cardinal Mazarin
to interpose with the Duke of Savoy for the purpose of
putting an end to the atrocities practised upon those Wal-
densian Christians. The bigoted James 11., too, actually
sent Lord Stair as an ambassador to the Court of Louis
Quatorze, when the Huguenots were condemned, to re-
=castrate on their -behalf ; saad.it would be remembered
that on that occasion when Louis said to Stair, " What
would you say if I were to ask you to release your con-
victs," the ambassador, with great quickness and ingenuity,
answered, "If your Majesty wants to claim those unfortu-
nate persons, as we now do them as brethren, they shall
be released immediately." (A laugh.) He would not de-
tain the house further on that point. jEle did, however,
trust that the noble lord (Lord John Russell) would not
oppose his motion, and that he would not cease to
use his best efforts on behalf, not only of the Madiai,
but of their Protestant brethren generally on the con-
tinent, wherever they might be suffering per-
secution in respect of their faith. He (Mr. Binnaird)
did urge and trust that the voice of England would be
raised, and that that house would not be intimidated from
expressing plainly and boldly its opinion on this subject,
and from using the moral weight of this country on behalf
of their persecuted brethren on the Continent. (Cheers.)
Lord DUDLEY STUART, in seconding the motion,
said that seldom had any event on the Continent excited
the feelings of the inhabitants of this country so much as
the case of those unfortunate and persecuted Madiai. It

After a few words from Mr. ALCOOK, Mr. FnEwEN
replied, and the house divided :
For the motion
Against

THE MADIAIS
Mr. KINNAIRD moved that an address should be pre-
sented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be
graciously pleased to take such steps as she may deem
most fitting for bringing under the notice of his Imperial
Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany the strong feelings
prevailing among a large number of her Majesty's subjects
in consequence of the persecution now actively begun in
Tuscany of those who, secretly or openly, profess principles
held by her Majesty, in common with the majority of her
Majesty's subjects in this United Kingdom, which persecu-
tion appears likely to increase in intensity through the de-
cree lately promulgated, which re-enacts the penalty of
death against the so-called "depravers of the religion of the
state." He asked for the attention of the house while he
stated the reasons which had induced him to bring forward

was no wonder that it should be so, for the people of this
country had always felt a deep sympathy with their Pro-
testant brethren all over the world. The feelings of the

British people in this respect had been reflected in the acts

of their rulers. Cromwell interposed with energy on be-
half of the Protestants of France ; and we had treaties re-
lating to the Vaudois and Waldenses, signed by William
111. and Queen Anne, which stipulated that those Chris-

MIS should enjoy, undisturbed, the exercise of their re-

this motion. The fact was that a cruel and atrocious sen-
tence had been passed upon two individuals—in humble
life, it was true, but of unimpeached character—and when

ligion in the valleys of Piedmont. At different times,
also, the representatives of this country at foreign courts
had received instructions from the Government when the
stipulations of those treaties were violated or interfered
with ; and the Protestants, thus protected by England,
continued to enjoy their liberty until the French got pos-
session of those countries, and then, under the French
regime, they assumed the rights of free citizens once more.
We should have treaties with foreign states for the pro-
tection of their Protestant subjects in the same way as we
had had treaties with the kingdom of Sardinia and the
Dukes of Savoy for the purpose of protecting Christians
in the exercise of their religion. The proposal implied in
the motion was no innovation. We had treaties for the
prevention of the slave trade with various countries of the
world ; and why should we not have treaties with foreign
states, by which they should debar themselves from the
sin of persecuting their subjects, only for obeying the dic-
tates of their own consciences. It was contrary to
humanity, as well as to the dictates of the Christian reli-
gion, and the golden rule of doing to others as we should
wish them to do to us, to persecute a man for religious
principles, which he was forced by his conscience to ac-
knowledge. For his part, he felt sentiments of regret and
indignktion when contemplating any person subject to per-
secution on account of his religion ; and he applied that
principle in the largest sense. (Hear, hear) He was
not only against the persecution of Protestants, Jews,
Roman Catholics, Greeks, or any particular religious sect,
but he was—and he desired to raise his voice to say it--
against persecution of all sorts on acconntfof any form of
religion, and wheresosver it might be professed. (Hear,
hear.) Protestants, unhappily, were not the only religion-
ists ,who had been persecuted. In times past, as they
knew, others had been dealt with in the severest manner
by men actuated by the sincerest motives. A. poet had
said, somewhat irreverently,
" Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded
That all the apostles would have done as they did."

the tidings of that sentence had reached this country, sor.
row and indignation prevailed generally amongst all classes
of the population. That feeling was not confined to this
country, for in every Protestant state of Europe the same
feeling of indignation was experienced. It was not even
confined to the continent of Europe, but it was felt beyond
the Atlantic. (Hear, hear.) The American people had
expressed in the most unmistakeable language their sym-
pathy for the case of the Madiai, and the President of the
United States and the Minister for Foreign Affairs in that
country not only sent a dispatch to the Government of the
Grand Duke, asking for the release of those unfortunate
person, but, if he were credibly informed, they had also
offered to send a vessel to receive those persecuted people,
with the intention of giving them an asylum in the United
States, and providing for them hereafter. He wished that
in this country they had also taken that noble course. He
wished to prove to the house that this case of the Madiai
was not an isolated case, and he thought he should be
able also to prove that it arose from an ecclesiastical re.
action ; that it was symptomatic of a determination on
the part of the heirarchy of the Church of Rome to put
down Protestantism by force wherever the civil power
would aid them in so doing. (Hear, hear.) It was on that
ground he asked the House of Commons to call upon her
Majesty's Government to invite the other Protestant
powers of Europe to join them, and in concert with Prus-
sia and Holland to enter a remonstrance, not in a dictato-
rial tone—not in a tone of menace—but in the name of re-
ligion and humanity firmly and energetically to remon-
strate against this great act of tyranny. (Hear, hear.)
Tuscany had stood for a long period, and till within a very
recent period, in happy contrast to the other Italian states,
from the fact of its having mild rulers, who followed in
the footstops of Peter Leopold, who towards the end of
the last century, when law reform was not so popular as at
,present, effected a great reform in the laws of his country,
and secured for Tuscany a greater share of civil a d reapgious liberty than was enjoyed by any other of the Itali
states. It was the fact the Inquisition was never estab-
lished in Tuscany, and that the canon law was never su-
preme there ; and those unfortunate people who were, as
ben elieved, most unjustly and illegally convicted, had
been convicted under the very laws that were made to se-
c the liberty of conscience that was now invaded.
(Hear, hear.) In the year 1848, a constitution was granted
to Tuscany, by the first article of which all existing forms
were not only tolerated but permitted. (Hear,
hofearw,orsheharip.) Under the protection of that constitution, a
number of Florentines had enjoyed the advantage of at-
tending Protestant worship in that city in the churches
connected with the English and Prussian embassies. Ser-
vice was performed in the Italian language, and a con-
siderable number of Tuscan subjects attended for a con-
siderable time without being interrupted. (Hear, hear.)
It was in Juanuary, 1851, that, for the first time, the Go-
vernment interfered, and prevented their subjects from at-
tending those places of worship. He believed that police
agents were placed at the doors, and all citizens who ven-
tured to worship God according to what they believed to
be the rights of conscience were marked men, subject to
surveillance of the police. In a very short: time after-
wards 400 mandates were issued by the police, telling the
parties to whom they had reference that, if they wor-
shipped God in that form, they would be subject to from
eight to sixty days' imprisonment. In the month of
February, Count Ricciardini, a man who had never taken
part in politics, and of unimpeached character, was told
that a decree was passed forbidding him to enter a Pro-
testant church under pain of imprisonment. In the
month of March he was informed by the police that if
he gave up attending service he would Individually

Roman Catholics had been persecuted quite as much as
any others. Those persecutions were horrible enough, but
it was scarcely less horrible that this country, which was
the great Protestant country of Europe, should stand aloof
and not raise a voice when Protestants were persecuted, as
they had( been shown to be, by the Grand Duke of •Tns-
cany. He might be met by the argument that we ought
not to interfere 'with an independent state. But it was
not proposed to interfere by force of arms in this case. He
thought the motion of his honourable friend (Mr. Kin-
naird) was a most proper one, for it was not proposed to
interfere by violence. Besides, could the Grand Duchy of
Tuscany be altogether called an independent state, seeing
that it was in the occupation of a foreign army. (Hear.
hear) ? Tuscany was ruled by foreigners, by the Austrian
Grand Duke, who was the nephew of the late Emperor
Francis—him of the Holy Alliance, and cousin to the pre-
sent Emperor. He belonged to ,that Imperial family of
Hapsburg which had been always distinguished in Europe
for its religious persecutions. Of the Grand Duke himself.
