BILL FOR THE SECURITY OF

TIIE CROWN.
The following is an abstract of the Bill which was
last night brought into the House of Commons by Sir
G. Grey, for the security of the Crown acd the sup-
pression of seditious designs and practices:—
The first section recites the 26th of George 111., en-
titled "An Act for the safety and preservation of his
Majesty's person and Government against treasonable
and seditious practices at .d attempts," which enacts,
among other tho;gs, that if any person shall compass
or intend the death, woureiing, imprisonment, or re-
straint of the person M jest) or h.. successors, or
to deprive him or them of the Imperial Crown of this
realm, or to levy war against his said Majesty
r his successors, to compel him or them to
change his or their measures or counsels, or
in order to put any force or constraint upon
or to intimidate or overawe both Howie., or either
House of Parliament, or to stir any foreigner with twee
to invade this realm, ant shall express such compass-
ings or intentions by publishing and printing or writing,
or by an overt act or deed, being convicted thereof by
due c urse of law, then every such person so offend-

ing shall be declared and adjudged to be a traitor,
and shall suffer pains of death, and also lose, and
forfeit as in case of high treason. It then
further recites, that whereas by the 57th George
In, entitled "An Act to make perpetual cer-
tain parts of an Act of the 36th George 111. for th.)
safety and preservation of his Majest)'a person ani!
Government against seditious and treasonable practices,
&c., all the provisions of the said Act or 36 George
111., which relate to the successors of his said Majesty,
were made perpetual; and that whereas doubts are en-
tertained whether provisions so made perpetual were by
the last recited .Ict extended to Ireland, and whereas it
is expedient to repeal all such provisions made perpetual
by the last recited Act as do not relate to offences
against the person of the Sovereign, and to enact other
provisions instead thereof, applicable to all parts of the
United Kingdom, and to extend to Ireland such of the
provisions of the said Acts which are not hereby re-
pealed. It then goes on, by section 1, to repeal the
provisions of the said 36th George 111., made perpetual
by the said 57th George 111., save such of the same as
relate to the compassing and intending the death, im-
prisonment, or restraint of the person of the successors
of his said Majesty, and the expressing, uttering, or
declaring of such compassings, imaginations, or inven-
tions.

By the second section, it is declared and enacted that
such of the said recited provisious made perpetual by
the said 57th George 111., as are not hereby repealed,
shall be extended to, and be in force i❑ Ireland.

, .
The 3d section enacts that if any person after the
passing of this Act shall, within the realm or without,

imagine, invent, or intend to deprive our Most Gracious
Lady the Queen or her successors of the Imperial Crown
of this realm, or of any of her Majesty's dominions and
countries, or to levy war against her Majesty or her suc-
cessors within any part of the United Kingdom, in order
by force or constraint to compel her or them to change
her or their measures or counsels, or in order to pat any
force or constraint upon or to intimidate or overawe
both Houses or either House of Parliament, or to move
or stir any foreigner or stranger with force to invade
the United Kingdom, or any other of her Majesty's
dominions, and shall express such compassings, ima-
ginings, inventions, or intentions, by publishing any
printing or writistg, or by open and advised speaking,
or by any overt act or deed, shall be guilty of felony,
tied on conviction shall be liable to be transported be-
yond ,the seas for life, or for any term nut less than
seven years.
The 4th section enacts, that nothing herein contained
shall lessen the force of anything enacted by the 25th
Edward 111., " a declaration which offences shall be
adjudged treason."
The sth section enacts, that if the facts alleged in any
indictment for any felony under this Act shall amount
in law to treason, such indictment shall not by reason
thereof be deemed void, erroneous, or defective; and if
the facts proved on the trial of any person indicted for
any felony under this Act shag amount in law to
treason, such person shall not by reason thereof be en-
titled to be acquitted of such felony; but no person tried
for the felony shall be afterwards prosecuted for treason
upon the same facts.
The sth section enacts, that in the case of every felony
under the Act, every principal in the second degree, and
every accessory before the tact, shall be punishable in
the same manner us the principal in the first degree;
and every acceibury after the fact shall, on conviction,
be liable to imprisonment, with or without hard labour,
for any term not exceeding two years.
The 6th section enacts that the Act may be repealed
or amended during the present session of Parliament.
