this method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve tooth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore. articulation and mastication; and that Mr.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at Live o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Chelten-
ham Water Bill and Gosport Water Bill v%a,s read a
second time.

THE CAGLIARI.

OATHS BILL.

Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition from the
City of Llndon in favour of the Oaths Bill.
The Bishop of OXFORD pre,ented a great number
of petitions againet the °Attie bia.
Earl of DERBY presented a similar petition.
THE OATHS BILL.

Lord LYNDH lJ RST, in moving the second reading
of the Oaths Bill, said he should make but a very short
explanation in moving the second reading of this bill.
It had been objected on a former occasion by a noble
earl near him (Earl Derby) to the form of the bill. He
objected to the oath of abjuration and that excluding the
the Jews from Parliament being so mixed up together
as to preclude the possibility of taking a vote on each
separate question. That objection had been remedied
by the preent measure. With respect to the oath
of abjuration, the alterations were not very ezten-
eive ; they amounted to this, that all those parts relating
to the ascending of the Pretender had been struck out,
and the remainder which was added to the oaths of al•
legiance and supremacy, formed but one oath. The first
part of this bill, no doubt, would be assented to unani-
mously by this house. In the fifth clause of this bill, the
question of the admission of the Jews to Parliament was
resumed, and the bill provided that en a menito-r of the
Jewish religion pre=enting himself at the table to
take the oath, the words, "on the true faith
of a Christian," should be omitted. Now it
was competent for any of their lordships to move
the omissi-m of this clause in committee, but in order to
arrive at that stage it was absolutely necessary that the
bill should be read a second time. He had considered
this question over and over again, and he felt certain
many of their lordships would agree with him that it
would be idle to have two discussions on the merits of
the bill, and he proposed therefore that the bill should
be read a second time, or postpone the discussion on
the Jewish disabilities until they went into committee on
this bill. He, therefore, simply moved the second read-
ing of the bill.
Earl of DERBY said he hoped the suggestion of the
noble and learned lord would throw such weight
with their lordships as to lead them to its adoption.
The existing oath, it could not be denied, required ahem-
tion, as a great portion had tt )w become obsolete. He did
not see any objection to the course proposed, and he
was prepared to give his support to the bill as
far as the first portion of it was concerned, which
did away with the absolute part a the oath, but
with regard to the latter part of the bill which rendered
the question of the adtni,sion of the Jews into Parlia-
nista, he was still of the same opinion he had expressed
on former occasions, and could not take a different
course than he had formerly taken. In committee
he should move the omission of the clause
by which Jews would be enabled to take their seats in
Rirliament.
Earl GREY regretted the course the noble earl had
decided on adopting, especially as the bill had been 8o
strongly adopted by the other house. He felt
it would most likely lead to a collision with the
other house. The present, he contended, was a fitting
opportunity to concede the measure, for it would be
idle to suppose that the house could much
longer withstand the gro ing feeling with
respect to the bill. He advised the noble
lord to fellow the course pursued by the late Duke of
NVellington in 1828 on the Test Act, who, although he
disapproved of the measure, concoled to the general
wish, and agreed to the bill.
After a few observations from the Earl of WICK-
LOW, the bill was read a second time.
I Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE CHARGE OF CON-

SPIRACY AGAINST DR. BERNARD.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked the learned Attorney-General
whether he could infcren the house if it was the inten-
tion of her Majesty's Government to proceed with the
indictment against Dr. Bernard for conspiracy
Toe ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained the course
pursued by the late Government with reference to the
charge before the magistrate.
Sir G. GREY—For culise'r icy.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped his right hon.
friend would pardon him tor a moment. He was able to
say that the prosecution was commenced under the late
Government. The late Government adopted that course
which, he need not Bay, it was their outy to adopt, and
any hesitation or delay in adopticg which would have
exposed them to just censure. Certain circumstances
had come to the knowledge of the advisers of the Crown
in the time of the late Government which rendered it
expedient, in their opinion, to submit the facts to a
course of inquiry, an I to submit such facts as were then
capable of proof in the ordinary course cf law to a ma-
gistrate of the metropolis. Counsel on the part of the
Crown, also in the time of thelate Government attended
before a magistrate, and, in the course of the proceed-
ing,, as evidence accumulated upon evidence, the case
assumed a form which led the learned counsel who at-
tended on bebalf of the Crown to think—and the magis-
trate before whom the case had been put in the course of
the inquiry was likewise of opinion—that it was the
duty of the magistrate to commit the prisoner upon a
cbarge of capital felony. The change of ministry then
took place, and the case came under the consideration of
the present Government. The case for the prosecution
had been carri d on in strict conformity with the law
acd c mstitution of this country, and bad now been
brought to a conclusion. The individual in question,
Dr. Barnard, was put upon his trial under circumstances
ef wrong suspicion that be had been a party to a great
crime, attended with most caiaraitous in a neighbouring
country. He had undergone his trial, and had been ac-
quitted by a jury of Englishmen. It would not become
him Ole Attorney-General) to comment upon that ver-
Act of acquittal ; but, since that verdict had been pro-
nounced, it had become the duty of the law officers
f the Crown—at least he had felt it his duty
as that one of the law officers of the crown who had con-
ducted the prosecution against Dr. Bernard—to consider
with great attention the remaining charge, the charge to
whic'a the hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey) had allude'', with
ref .r.ne., to which tNv pr,,n,o.inlga at first commenced,
which charge was still undetermi led, and up in which the
grand jury having found a true bill, it would be quit,:
in the ordinary course that Dr. Bernard should ultimately
be put upon his trial. In considering the charge upon
which Dr. Bernard had already been tried and acquitted

and the charge upon which he might yet be tried, under
the Lill of indictment found by the grand jury for a
conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor of the French, if
bad become his duty to consider with minute attention
the whole body of the evidence adduced upon the bite
trial, and to consider also what evidence it would be
to adduce, and what would be the substantial nature to
the entire cave. if De. Bernard should be put upon his
trial under the indictment for conspiracy. Now,
almost at the outset of the inquiry which he had felt it
his duty to make, and from his Sint view of the case
which he had felt it his duty thus maturely to consider,
a maxim of our criminal law, ever held sacred by all
who had taken part in its administration, in this coun-
try, had fixed itself upon his attention—"Nerno debet
bis vexari pro ealein cause ;" and, having very atten-
tively and minutely considered the charge upon which
Dr. Bernard had already been triad and acquitted, and
the charge upon which in the ordinary course of law he
might yet be tried—namely, the charge of a conspiracy
to assassinate the Einracror of the French—it appeared
to hint that these two charges, though differing in
name, the two indictment,, that upon which he had
already been tried, and that upon which he might yet be
tried, and the whole of the evidence in support of the
one charge and the other, it appeared to him, he said,
that the two charges laid in the indictment, though they
might be different in name, were substantially and iden
tically the same. Under these circumstances, after a
very full Consideration of the whole of the evidence
adduced on the late trial, and of the whole of the evi-
dence which it was in the power of the crown to
bring for ward in any future trial, inasmuch as
the evidence would he the same, and the question
to be left to ti e jury by the judge would be the same, it
appeared to him that to proceed further with this ques-
tion, and again to put Dr. Bernard on his trial, would
be to violate the maxim to which he had adverted—a
maxim which he, in common withal! who were entrusted
with any part, however humble, in the administration
of the eriteinel law of this country, desired to hold
sacred. He had therefore, in answer to his hon. and
learned friend's question, to,,4neorm him and the house
that the prosecution egairisCDe. Bernard for conspiracy
would be no further proceeded with, and that conse-
quently he might consider himself entirely discharged.
(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. BETHELL said that, although it w:u true
that proceedings with a view to prosecution for conspiracy
were taken by the late Government, proceedings with a
view to a prosecution upon a charge of murder, or of
being accessory to murder, were not only not contem-
plated by the late Government, but the late Government
had decided that there was no reasonable ground for sup-
posing that such acharge could be maintained successfully.
he hurnhy begged to ask his hon. and learned friend
whether, it having been stated in the public papers that
after the accession of his hon. and learned friend to
office Mr. Bodkin, the junior counsel for the prosecu- ,
tion, was instructed to state that he no longer intended
to proceed upon a charge of conspiracy, but upon a
charge cf murder—he begged to ask whether that pro-
ceeding was taken under tie opinion, and by the direc-
tion of the then and present Attorney-General ? (Hear.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, in answering
his hon. and learned friend he must, in the first pl,ce, be
perraitted to express a doubt as to the accuracy eof his;
statement, that his learned friend Mr. Bodkin, who
originally attended before the magistrate under the in-t
struci ins ef his ho r, and learned friend who was then her.
Maje-ty's Attorney-General, ever intimated that it was
not his intention, or that it was not the intention of the,

racy. But at a later period, and when the evidence

and he was sure he might say it appeared manifest to the

the prosecution against Dr. Bernard would have ill dis-

Not only did no doubt occur to the learned gentleman

crown—not only did no doubt occur to the magistrate
who committed the prisoner on that capital charge, belt
he must remind his hon. and learned friend and the
house that on the trial of Simms Bernard before the Lord
Chief Justice of England, the Lord Chief Baron of the
Exchequer, and two other learned and eminent judges
of the land, the case being
defended with great zeal,
ability, learning, and eloquence by his learned friend
Mr. James, aced others whose assistance he had, so little
was it thought that there was no eubstartial ground
for the capital charge on which the prisoner was in-
dicted and was then upon his trial, that his learned friend
Mr. James, instead of immediately claiming an acquittal
as a matter of right, thought it wise and expedient sim-
ply, and in a very few words, to state to the learned
judges before whom the case was tried the nature of the
objections which might be made thereafter on the point
of law to the application ci the statute to the case of
the prisoner. The learned judges whose names he had
mentioned, with out one moment's doubt or hesitation,
considered these questions of eufficient gravity, difficulty,
and importance, to be at once reserved fur the opinion
• of the fifteen judges ; and accordingly, without further
discussion, without a suggestion of nay other course on
the part of the learned and able counsel for the prisoner,
those points of law were reserved, and for six entire date
the trial proceeded on the capital charge. He had only
to say that whatever might be the idea entertained by
his hon. and learned friend and all that his his hon.
and learned friend might say or suggest on the
subject of the criminal law, or any other branch of the
law of this country was entitled to weight, attention,
and respect—whatever might be the idea which his
learned friend had formed on this question, be venture to
say that no la w officer of the crown, no adviser of the crown
at al connected or inter Lring with the administration of
the law of thie country, would have done his duty if,
under the circumstances which existed, he had le isitatisd
for one moment to put that individual upon his trial on
the capital charge of felony. (Hear, hear.)
Sir R. BET HELL —We desire to have a plain answer
to a plain questior., That question is simply this—Was
the proceeding of Mr. Bodkin, in altering the charge
from one of conspiracy to one of being accessory to
murder, a proceeding taken under the direction of her

Mr. Serjeant KINGLAKE altered the following
question on the paper---6. Whether the Secretary for the
Horne Department, in the late prosecution of the Queen
v. Simon Bernard, charging him as an accessory before
the fact, and also as a principal, to the murder of Nicho-
las Battle was instituted in pursuance of advice given
by the law officers of the Crown, to the effect tha', as-
suming the alleged, facts to be true, the offence charged
was pnoishabla as a felony under the existing law of
the realm ; and he asked whether the Secretary for the
Home Department would lay any opinion which might
have been given by the law officers of the Crown rela-
tive to the said charge on the table of the House 1"---
but we were unable to get it in its corrected form.
Mr. WALPOLE said the effect of the advice given
by the law officers, and the opinions given by them was
not a matter for him to communicate to the house, but
rather a matter for which be and the law officers, were
responsible. (Hear, hear.) As the question bad been
altered in its terms, he saw no objection to answer
it. The proceedings in the case of Dr. Bernard were
taken under the assistance and advice of the Attorney-
General, and he (Mr. Walpole) should have been ashamed
of himself if, in the matter of a prosecution, he should
