his natne.had been:published as orte,pf .th6e.% wltp
had oppoSed it on a-former day, although he was hot
present at its discussion.
Mr:,•:WnEBLE thought that to resume a new
discoSsion upon a • measure already voted and
finallx.settled by, the Court, would, be contrary 'to
all: established order of Vroteeding, and open a
door for endless discussions and tvi-ert.;ititie,4.-1-
If Members thought proper, after. due notice for
discussion of 4uestions, to absent themselves
from their duty, and. Withhold their votes, they
had no right to come on a subsequent day to
complain of their own ignorance upon such subs
.jeasi and to call for new .disCussions, for the pur-
pose of rescinding and undoing that which had
•been settled by Members who had attended in their
place. Would ,uch.a proceeding be for a moment
tolerated. in the House of Commons, even though
the fate of a measure were decided only by a niajo.

Mr. kwits replied shortly to the arguments
against, his wotion.in the course of debate, vin-
dicating- hitbself as the individnal who had beeu
personally alluded to, for sec dint; from the
Committee apt3ointed to shape the Address, be-
cause he found that Any ,modification he should
cii-er was not likely to he guccesiftd, and there-
fore, to, avoid prdtraelint the discussion he bad
withdrawn, when he found he could not concur with
the majoritv in the language of the several para-
graphs. With respect to the objets of the Address
no nun differed in opinion as to the right. If any
man did deny the right, he denied an essential prin-
ciple of our Constitution: No man more fully ac-
knowledged than he did the necessity for the pro-
posed inquiry. His only objedion was to sonic
parts of the language in which the Address was
couched. If the Address as it no* stood wits With- •
drawn,' he had in his pocket the copy of an Address, ,
expressing the very self same purpose, only. obvi-
ating what he conceived to be objectionable in the
lang.tiag6, and in which he had no doubt in the una-
nimous concurrence of the Court.
Mr. Alderman Wood observed, that those who'

were now so agreeable to have ah Address, piuvidt-d
it were a new orte, were those very men who below
voted for the previous question. They were afraid
of another rebuke.-.(Order,)
Alderman ATKINS • was not against an

Address.
Mr. Alderman Wool) said, that he (Alderman
Atkins) wished for one that %.yould do the Med, of
the one voted away.—(Clies of No, no.)—As
Noble Lord had said in tie .-louse of Lords, " they
could crow on their own dung-hill, but hung down
their heads when they went up with their Ad-
dresses."
Mr. LUCAS said, the Address would disgrace any
body, as it censured a gallant Officer, while it pro-
fessed to solicit the institution of an inquiry.
Mr. WAITHMAN repeated, teat it contained no-
thing disrespectful. It would do honour to every
Briton, and it had been shewn that it ought to be
agreeable to the King, as they evinced their loyalty,
when boldly, adVancing to the Throne, they told
their Royal Master how much he had- been abused,
and how much they had suffered.
The Bit' was cleared of strangers, for a division
upon Alderman \\roan's amendment,• when it.was
lost by a majority of 17. -The, dOors being still
closed.
Mr. Sheriff ATKINS then, proposed an amended
Address, which produced tbuch discussion.
The &ors were not again opened ; but we un-
derstood, Ilia-, after no animated debate of four
hours, the Address, as amended, was carried, the
numbers being : '
