BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of their
Lordship) to mis•statemer.ts that had been made respect-
ing proceedings in that House. To publish any of their
proceedings at all was a breech of privilege, but that
which ought to be reprobated was a perversion of those
proceedings. He would give an instance of what had
occurred the other night. It was stated in a Sunday
paper that a Noble Lord had threatened him with the
censure of the public, and be was described as saying
that he did not care for one or the other, :and then in-
stantly running out of the House.—(Laughter.) Now,
he left it to their Lordships to judge whether he
had not stopped to hear what was said.—(Hear,
hear.) He had no objection that a concise account
should be given of his speeches, but required that
the statement should be the truth. Thus, in the
account of his opinions respecting the appropriation
of Marlborough House, it was stated that he bad
been dis.atiiided with it because he knew the in-
terior of the palace well, as he had partaken of the
hospitality of the Queen Dowager. Now what he bad
said he could not help stating, as he happened to bo the
only surviving trustee of that illustrious lady. As to
the observations that were made upon him whilst pre-
siding over judicial proceedings, he did not mean to call
attention to them without making lurther inquiries. No
matter whether those attacks proceeded from disap-
pointed clients or attorneys, the parties should be made
to feel that they could not with impunity du anything to
prejudice the administration of justice in that House.
SLAVE TRADE.

Lord BROUGRAtiI presented petitions from Jamaica
and other places in the Weft Indies, praying that mea-
sures might be adopted for the more effectual abolition
of the slave trade. All the West Indian colonies were
favourable to the abolition of a traffic which was so in-
jurious to their interests.
TENANT RIGHT.

The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from a class
of persons for whom he had the greatest respect, but
from whose opinions he differed. The petition was from
the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh in
Ireland, adopted at their annual meeting in Belfast,
praying their Lordships to pass a law which would
preserve in its integrity the tenant-right of Ulster, and
that would leave to the farmers the fair fruits of their
skill and industry. He hoped their Lordships would
not adopt the prayer of the petition, as the whole value
of the tenant-right now existing was, that it was at the
option of the landlord to withhold it or not.
COUNTY COURTS EX TENSION BILL.

Lard BROUGHAM moved that their Lordships
should take into consideration the Commons' amend-
ments on this Bill. •_ _ __ _

Lord REDESDALE moved that their Lordships dis-
sent from the Commons' amendments re-introducing the
17th clause, which gave the use of the town-halls with.
out compensation to the county courts.

of so strictly a legal it,
that I have reffa'ned
obtruding myself on the attention of the House. But,
Sir, the r
today
ns which have been placed
on the table have departed from that limite d
character which previous resolutions proposed to our
consideration have professed. The resolutions
which the Learned Attorney-General has brought
forward are, one of law and another ' of po-
licy. I therefore think the House will excuse
me if, under these circumstances, I venture to make a
few observations as to the position in which the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for the city of London, who has
not taken his seat, finds himself, .and also as to the posi-
tion occupied by the House. The course which has been
pursued by the Member for the city of London, by the
electors of the city of London, and by her Majesty's
the Jewish religion, in their attempts
subjects professing
to obtain an amelioration of the grievances which
they feel, and the disabilities under which they
are placed, this year differs from that Course
which they have hi'herto pursued. I understand this
arises from the impstience—l would say natural im-
patience—which the electors of London and her Majesty's
subjects professing the Jewithh religion feel at the posi.
