I%IR. WYNDHAM QITIN.

The Ortter of the sly for taking into, eonsi-
tietioion the mat ter of complaiot against the lion.
Wyndham Q tin having been rent)-
11. Wit.sov, 3.11 d, that as it had fallen to his
lot to present the Petition on which the House
'sa' now abort to institute an inquiry, it became
his duty to ?nit itch introductory questions to the
tvitnesses ho might he called to the Bar, as
would serve to bring forward the facts, as far as
he had been made acquainted with them, and to
connect the chain of evidence which it was in the
power of the Petitioners to offer. His object was
to obtain truth, and that in the most explicit and
expeditious manner; but he begged to say, titat
it he trespassed on the rules of the II wise, or
violated the laws of evidence, he hoped it would
be ascribed, not to wilful error,, but to his utter
inexperience in such proceedings. Ile was con-
vinced that no Gentleman had come to the House
to act the part of a judge, without endeavouring
to divest himself of previous impressions, and
eciAting to guide himself entirely by the evidence
but he could not conceal front himself, that an
unfair impression had been made on the minds of
the House by ontoward circumstances. They had
Huth_ to do, generdly speaking, with the ab-
stract motives of Petitioners, unless when they
scented likely to influence the truth of their state-
ments. He did no, conceive dint any u hick
had been proved against thu retitiontr or his

father should inanee the House to reiihipisb the
inquiry Iwo an alleged public offence of the first
magnitude. The time Was now come for him to
say, that neither the Petitioner nor his fattier had
any part in the fabrication of the tuatte'r of the
charge ; but that it rested entirely on the evidence
of a Gentleman, whose character stood as high as
that of any Gentleman in the House. It would I.)e
now for the House to say whether he had forfeited
that high character. He should now move, that
Mr. Carew Smith he called in.

Mr. Carew Smith WAS accordingly called to, the
Bar, and underwent a long examination. In the
course of the evening, Mr. STUART WoarLav gave
notice, that if any part of the proceedings were
published before their complelion., he would bring
the individual offending before the House for a
breach of privilege.

- 'Tice examination of fir. Carew Smith conti-
nued I.intil 11 o'clock, when Mr. Goolcl Was called
to the Bar. This Gentleman's testimony had not
closed until halt after 12, when, on the motion of
tii• Robert Wt , the tot titer examination of
evidt.nce was i.obtponed until this day. There are
6:•e Witnesses vet to he examined upon this sub-
ject, and it is understood that their examination is
not likely to letniitiate until hl-outlay
A St-itrt Committee has been appointed to Select
such tters atidtteutt by Mr. Carew smith as are
immediately relevant to the case before the
