a case which, in all likelihood, will occasion a serious ill•
terruption to the progress of public business when Par"
'lament is re-assembled.
In considering this question, the governing Preee.
dent to he referred to is that of Lord Ferrari, wav
was tried in 1760 for the murder of his steward,
under circumstances of peculiar atrocity, relieved, bebr
ever, in some degree, by doubts, which were plausibly
entertained, of his sanity. Lord Ferrari (as ever'
body knows) was tried by his peers, convicted, eell.
dernned, and executed. ...,n

The next case is that of the late Lord Courten-J ,
infamous celebrity, against whom a true bill was
fau
by the grand ju of Devon. This case occu
Hrred, I
ry f
think, about twenty-five years ago. The owie °
Lords was sitting at the time, and having beets ae;
quainted with the indictment of Lord Courteney, a WI
of certiorari was awarded for the purpose of
the record before the House. A return wisedulY OS
for
to this writ of certiorari by the clerk of Peace
the

House and delivered in the record and proceedings, 7„
appears by a memorandum entered to that effect in then
