IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 1.
(Concluded from our First Edition of Saturday.)

Mr. KNIGHT had heard a good deal of despots, but he believed
that, of all the despots that existed in the world—of all the slavery
that ever existed—there never was a slave colony in any part
of America, whose code of laws was disgraced by such an infamous,
grinding, and detestable law as that which was contemplated by this
Act. It was inconsistent with the institutions of every civilized
country, and especialiy inconsistent with the rights that have hi-
therto been enjoyed by every Briton. He declared solemnly that
anything more infamous or disgraceful to the times they lived
in he could not conceive, than that a British House of Com-
mons should have passed a Bill containing such a clause. It
was, he would again repeat, inconsistent with the laws of this
country, or of any civilized one in Europe. This was one of
the many clauses of a Bill which, if they were to judge by
the publications circulated among the people, their Lordships
'were threatened, unless they passed it ; and Englishmen ,vote.ss
deluded into thinking so, under a lamentable ignorance of all that
lurked in the document. Their Lordships' attention had been
already directed to section eighty-nine, which related to bye-
laws, and by it the council were empowered to impose fines for
nuisances, which were not punishable under any existing law.
Whether this related to private nuisances or not he (Mr. Knight)
knew not; it was only another of the million legal obscurities and
absurdities which the Bill created. The whole regulation of the lives
and morals of such of the King's subjects as had the misfortune to
live in these boroughs, was thus placed under the absolute controul
of. the Town Council, mitigated only by the discretion of the
Home Secretary for the time being. There was nothing
to prevent the restoration of the " Curfew," or any other
most tyrannical and intolerable interference with the habits
of society at large by this omnipotent Council. There was another
provision relative to the payment of all monies arising out of the
Corporation property to the treasurer, for the benefit of the inhabitants
and the improvement of the borough ; and in addition to this, the
counsel was authorized to make a rate sufficient for all the purposes
of the Act—there was to be an appeal with respect to the fairness
and equalization of the rate, but none as to its policy.' As the law
at present stood any necessary improvements could be made, but
should this Bill pass, there would be theatres, and hotels, and
dancing-rooms, and tea-gardens required as indispensably necessary
for the improvement of the town, and for the accommodation of
the Town Council and their ladies. Against the policy of this
there could be no appeal, and above all, the rate was to be
laidon by those who would pay little or no portion of it. It was
evident that the powers of the King and the House of Lords were
as nothing at all to the most absolute, grinding, unappealing des-
potism of the Town Councils. And these men would be people
without education, property, or any claim to the station they
would be called upon to fill. If he (Mr. Knight) apprehended
the Bill would pass, much as he loved his country, rather
than live within those degraded and marked districts, and be
subjected to the tyranny of those Town Councils, if there were no
other place to live in in England, he would rather fly from it than
submit to have the tyranny which the Bill legalized. If there
was any one who heard him whose motto was cure paella eerier
libertas he must agree in this opinion. He now came to the 67th
and 63th sections, which related to the public charities vested in the
hands of the Corporations. Without reference to the wills of the
donors, to any of the objects of the charity, or the charities them.
selves, these were all to be placed under the controul of a Com-
mittee of the Town Council. The Report of the Select Com-
mittee on Public Charities wettld give their Lordships some
idea of the enormous amount of the flitgis to be thus
placed in the power of these Town Councils or their Committees.
Under this Bill any three insolvents who may happen to be upon
the Trust Committee of the Town Council, would have nothing
more to do than to combine together for any one purpose—by so
doing they might sell out 100,8001. of Stock, or more, of the funds
of the town, and if they happened to live near the coast, they might
be iu Calais or Rotterdam before any one knew of the matter.
