charge of the Bill would look to that proviso. If it •
were properly framed, he would support the Bill ; but
otherwise it would be his principal duty to oppose it.
Mr. HAWES said he would attend to the sugges-
tion of the Attorney-General.
Mr. HUME said there was one defect in the law of
evidence which he wished to see altered in thi , Bill.
The Judges were in the habit of telling witnesse , that
they must not criminate themselves. Now, every man
ought to tell the truth, even if it were against himself,
and the object of the trial was to get at the whole truth.
After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP and
Mr. PaYME, the Bill was read a second time, and or-
dered to be committed on Wednesday next.
Mr. HUME then said, that lest his observations
respecting the Judges giving caution to witnesses should
not be underftood by the Attorney-General, he would
refer to a particular case in point—the trial of Lord
Cardigan in the House of Lords, where the Judge who
presided officiously interfered, and desired a witness not
to answer any question which might tend to criminate
himself.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no difficulty
in saying that Lord Denman acted in accordance with
the laws of England, and was perfectly justified in
giving the caution which he did to Sir James Anderson,
as be (the Attorney-General) who conducted the pro-
secution, had informed their Lordships in his opening
address that the witness was liable to indictment as an
accessory before the fact.
WAYS AND MEANS.

On the motion of Mr. GORDON the House went
into a Committee of Ways and Means.
A sum of 8,000,0001. was then voted out of the Con-
solidated Fund. _ . _

The Report was ordered for Friday next.
The LORD-ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring
in a Bill to provide for the better regulation of Muni-
cipal Corporations in Royal Burghs of Scotland.
Mr. BOLTON CLIVE moved that the petition
from the Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the
Hereford Union, in support of the Poor-law Amend-
ment Act (presented 9th March), be printed with the
Votes.—Agreed to.
The House then Adjourned at Eight o'Clock.
