The SPEAKER addressed him as fellows : John
'Eddowes Sparrowe, you have beers guilty of a breach
of the privileges of this House in aiding and abet-
ing witnesses to abscond, in order that they might not
be required to give evidence before a Committee ap-
pointed to try the merits of a petition complaining of an undue
return for the borough of Ipswich. The practice and. ex-
perience of your profession must have made you familiar
with the character, and consequences of the offence of
which you have been" guilty. No doubt you would have
felt great and just resentment against any one who would hare
withdrawn a material witness, by means of whop testi-
mony the right of one of your own clients weild have
been established; consequently, you will feel how just
and natural it was that this House should have visited with
punishment the offence which you have committed in with-
drawing testimony essential to the vindication of the ri;:;nts
of the constituency of Ipswich, and of the purity ef election.
The confinement you' have suffered li no doubt been
attended with inconvenience, Pcrt:lps with considerable loss
to yourself. But you haves :rierited the censure of this House,
and it will adrno"..-.1 others henceforth by your example'
that this I:OU3C possesses power to enforce obedience to its
and that it is invested with privileges which it will
exercise for the benefit-of the people, with firmness and jus-
tice. You are now discharged, on payment of your fees.

BRIGHTON
Sir C. BLOUNT presented a petition from Chichester,
signed by a vast number of the most respectable inhabitants
of that city, relative to a petition presented from the eastern
division of the county of Sussex. The petitioners alluded to a
prosecution instituted against the Editor of the Brighton
Guardian, and complained that the expenses of the prosecu-
tion, amounting to between 3001. and 4001., had been paid,
by an order on the Treasury, to the Clerk of the Peace. The
petitioners disapproved of such an appropriation of the public
funds, and prayed that the House would take the matter into
its consideration.

Mr. lIUMEhad moved for a Return of the expences paid
by the Treasury to which the petition alluded, and he be-
lieved that the Return had been laid upon the. table.—( Hear,
hear.) That order was only preparatory to a motion which
it was his (Mr. Hume's) intention to make, but which, up to
the present moment, he had not had time to carry into effect.
The sum might appear trifling, but it was too bad that an in-
dividual should be borne down, not only by the authority and
influence of two Magistrates, but also by the power of the
public money._
