JUDGE PDX.
•
The Marquis of AR es coRN moved an Address to His
Majesty for the removal of Judge Fox from his Mice, on
account of several instances of misconduel alledged in the
Address, and which are nearly the same in substance as those
which were before charged.
Lord IIAWiteseeß v then moved to referthe said Address
to a Committee of the whole Hoe se, and that it should be
an instruction to the said Committee to consider whether the
said charges were founded or not.
Lord A u ca.& tee repeated some of the objections which he
formerly urged against proceeding in the first instance in that
House, although lie admitted that the present mode of pro-
ceeding was less objettionable than any that had hitherto
been adopted. He thought, hoWever, that at the present ad-
vanced period there could be little hope of their being enabled
to get through the business during the present Session.
The LORD CNA Neal:Lott defended the Mode of proceeding
now proposed, which he considered to be the best they could
adopt. He urged theexpence and the inconvenience to which
Mr. Justice Fox had been put, and the anxiety and suspense
in winch that Learned Person ivaS kept, as strong reasons why
they should terminate the busiores, it' it were possible, during
the present Session. It
..was due also to Ireland that they
should make an ellbrt to come to a neeision upon the subject
before the end of the Session, which he thought, they would
be enabled to etMet. Some parts of the Charges contained in
the 'Address, he was of opinion, however, had better ba left
out, as they did not relate to the conduti of Mr. Justice Fox
whilst in the execution of his office, but might be hasty ex-
pressions used at other moments.
The Earl of CARLisi.R thought it would be much better
to sutter the business to originate ni the House of Commons.
Lord Hot. en elo was of opinion that the objed of the
Clause in the Actor Settlement was, that Parliament should
address for the removal of a Judge in cases where such re.
tnoval might be matter of Public convenience, hut that ut .
cases °Vert= it was still contended that the niode of 'pro.
seeding should be by Impeachment.
Lord H aWit telt UR contended, that the Law having given
to that Hodse, in conjunetion with the House Of Commons,
the power of addressing His Majesty to remove a I udgeonust
be understood to have given the means of exercising that
power, namely, by inquiring into the truth of charges ai-
ledged on the ground of an Address, or otherwise the clause
in the Aft of Settlement would be nugatory. The probable
duretion of the Session was, he maintained, no argument in
this case, as in a businese eo great importance they ought
to go on as far, and du 'as much as they could ; and it it
should happen they could not terminate .the inquiry this
Session, they would at 1C.1,3 have so tar done their duty.
Lorellotee ND explained.
The Marquis of CORN agreed to omit those parts of
the charges in the Address which the Los 11 Cli sNCxLLOR
hacisugge,ted had betterhe tett out, but at the same time pro.
teeter' againet any opinion that the conduct of a i udgo, whilst
not in the exercise of his ollice, was nor cognizable in that
House.

The LORD CH 4110 E I. vox explained.
Attu a few observations itorn the Earl OrCARYSIkORT and
Lord Mut. ca A v L. relative to some parts of the charge,
Lord HAxxowuY rose to protest against any idea being en-
tertained that the cundud of a judge, when not in the exer.
vise of his office, was not to be noticed by that House, as
eases might arise in which it inight be highly necessary and
expedient kit Pdrliatnelit to address His Majesty to remove
a I ufi);c for ads committcd when not in the execution of his

Lord A v'eKtai pin then called their Lordships' attention to
the form and manner in which Mr. Justice Fox should At.

him.
f t was agreed, after a short conversation, to postpone the
consideration of this subjed till Friday.
