prostrate that recklisss spirit of es,'ruction which seeks ,
to mar the beatty and altogether destroy the efficiency
of thy church, and bury 'midst its ruins the honour
and glory and majesty of thy name!" .11is is sacri,

ROUSE OF LORDS, June 2a.
The house met at four o'clock, and examined two
witnesses upon the Warwick Borough Bill, as to the
bribery. After which the house resumed ; when
Lord ROLLE presented petitions from Bridport,
Otway, and three other places in Devon, in support of
the Established Church.
CRIMINAL LAW. _

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would
take that opportunity of moving that an hum-
ble address be presented to his Majesty, praying
that there be laid before that house a copy of the first
report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into
the criminal law. He had great satisfaction in
stating that those learned commissioners had made
their first report, and that more valuable doctrine
had never arisen out of any inquiry committed to the
care of any body of commissioners whatever. (Hear,
hear.) < 'Most important matter had been col-
lected by them, in order to give to all
persons, whether lawyers or not, a complete and accu-
rate idea of what the law was ; and it would be found,
when the report should be laid before their lordships, if
his Majesty should be pleased to agree to the address he
had then the leave of moving, that a very sound and
judicious view had been taken of it, after most elabo-
rately digesting the criminal law. It was one of
the most masterly specimens of a digest of the
law he had ever seen. He should now propose, as it
was so late in the session, that the matter should
be allowed to stand over for the thorough con-
sideration of the profession during the recess,
and he should, at as early a period of the next
session as possible, move that the report be taken
'hit() consideration by the house, or that it should
be referred to the consideration of a select committee.
That was a course which, as at present advised, he
thought would- be most satisfactory ; in the meantime
lie merely moved the address to his M_ajesty.
Lord W YNFO RD made a few observations which
were inaudible in the gallery. The address was then
agreed to.
