BENCHERS OF LINCOLN'S INN.

Mr. SHERIDAN (having been called on by the
Speaker) rose to make his promised motion relative
t,) the Petition from Mr. George Farquharson against
the bye-law of the Bencher's of Lincoln's Inn, by
which bye-law the Benchers enacted, that no
individual writing for emolument for a Newspaper,
should be. admitted into their Society. He
.had
scarcely .uttered a word, however, when he was in-
terrupted by
Mr. WINDHAM, who observed that there. was a
sanding order of that House, the propriety of the
enforcement of which was perhaps never more ap-
pmem than on the present occasion. His Hon.
Friend, he had no doubt, was prepared with a pa-
negyric on a set of individuals, some of whom.
might perhaps at that moment be in the Gallery of
the House. In delicacy to their feelings, therefore,
it seetned to him to be desirable that they should
not be present during the discussion. The case was
.similar to that of drinking the health of the Chair-
man of a party, ,which was never done until he had
opiited the room.
Mr. SHERIDAN called his Honourable Friend to
order. He appealed to the Speaker whether he
lakl not been actually in possession of the House,
and whether it. was consonant to the usage of de-
bate, that he should be thus prevented from pro-
ceed:rig ?
'I he' observed, that he imagined the
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Windham) alluded to a stand-
ing order, which was certainly of great importance.
In that case hotA ever he must, in conformity to the
rules of the. House, confine himself to the enforce-
ment of that order. It was not in the Hon. Gen-
tleman's power to enter into any prefatory argu•
meet on the subjea.
Mr. WiNbeAm was proceeding with some fur-
ther remarks, when he was again called to order by
NT- Sheridan.
The SPEAKER repeated to the Hon. Gentleman,
that if it was his intention to enforce the standing.
erdcr alluded to, he must do so without observation.
It was not a question which admitted of discussion.
Did the Hon. Gentleman mean•to remark that there
were strangers in the House ?
After some hesitation, Mr. Windham replied in
•
the affirmative. _ _
