In a few minutes Mr. ABERCROMBY, accompanied by a vast
number of Members, appeared at the bar, and addressed their
Lordships as follows :
.. MY LORDS' —ln obedience to his Majesty's commands, his
7 t faithful Commons have proceb:led in the exer-
Majesty's .11,
cise of their ittiLenibted rights and privileges 10 (Ant the
acquaint your Lordships, t;.,lt their
Speaker, and I have t:::
choice, however unworthy,
Jim, fallen upon me, and I ni',ve,
with all humility, to solicit his ivla)esty's gracious approbation
of that choice."
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Awercromby, I have
to assure you that his Majesty is so fully sensible of our zeal
for the public service, and your ample sufficiency to exercise
the arduous duties of the office, that he does most readily
confirm you their Speaker.
The SPEAKER—My Lords, with all humility and gratitude,
I submit myself to his Majesty's commands ; and it now be-
comes my duty, in the name, and on the behalf, of the Com-
mons of England, to lay claim, by humble petition, to the free
exercise of all their undoubted rights and privileges, more
especially those of freedom of debate, and freedom of arrest for
their persons and servants—free access to his Majesty when
occasion may require, and that his Majesty will be graciously
pleased to put the most favourable construction on all their
proceedings and actions; and for myself, my Lords, I have to
intreat that if any error be committed by me, it may not be
attributed to his Majesty's faithful Commons.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Speaker, we have it
further in command from his Majesty, to assure his faithful
Commons that he does most readily confirm all their rights
and privileges which have ever been granted and confirmed
by his Majesty's Royal predecessors, and with respect to your-
sell, though his Majesty is sensible that you stand in no need
of such assurance, his Majesty will put the most favourable
construction upon your words and actions.
The SPEAKER then bowed to the Commissioners, and re-
tired from the bar, accompanied by the Members of the Loser
House.
Lord DE LISLE was introduced by Viscount Strangfotd and
another Peer, and took the oaths and his seat.
Their Lordships then proceeded with the swearing-in of
Peers up to four o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 20.
At three o'clock there were upwards of three hundred Mem-
bers in attendance, at which time the newly elected Speaker,
the Right Hon. JAMES ABERCROMBY, entered the House, pre-
ceded by the Serjeant-at-Arms, bearing the mace. Shortly
afterwards, Sir Augustus Clifford, the Gentlemen Usher of
the Black Rod, appeared at the table, and summoned the
House to the House of Peers in the usual form.
The SPEAKER, attended by several of the Members, imme-
diately left the House, and returned in a few minutes, when
the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded to the Chas, and took
his seat therein for the first time.

The SPEAKER then proceeded to announce to the House.
that his Majesty had been graciously pleased to approve of
their selection of himself as their Speaker, and that he had
been pleased to confirm all the privileges (in the most ample
manner) which had been ever enjoyed by any other House of
Commons. .He had now to express his most grateful acknow-
ledgements for the high honour they had conferred upon
him.—( Hear, bear, hear.) He was aware of the very great
disadvantages under which he took upon himself the important
office of their Speaker, and he was confident that unless he
had the confidence and support of that House. all bis'efforts
would be vain. To entitle himself to that confidence and
support he should use every means within his power, and he
trusted that he should not fail in his endeavours to obtain them
by a faithful and impartial discharge of his various duties ; and
by pursuing upon all occasions a just, impartial, and temperate
course.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The first duty
which he should point out to the House was to have the
Members sworn in. The Right Hon. Gentleman spoke in a
low tone of voice, and was at times almost inaudible.
The swearing in of the Members was then proceeded with,
and continued up to four o'clock.
The Clerk then proceeded to administer the prescribed
oaths to such Members as answered to their names, on being
called according to the alphabetical order of the places from
which they have been returned.
At a quarter to five o'clock, the letter D being then finished,
and only eight Members present, an adjournment was moved.
The SPEAKER, previous to putting the question, begged
to remark, that, as the House would meet to-morrow, at Twelve
o'clock, it was desirable that those gentlemen who had not as
yet taken the oaths, should be punctual in their attendance.
The House then adjourned.
