bath-day.' lie hoped these, as well as other
circumstances. Mould be-explained in a satisfac-
tory.manner. Then would be the time to deter-
mine, as to the line of conduct they should
adopt. The
.best way for bringing the truth
-before the,Court was to -refer the *stibject to a
Committee, of General Purposes:
The. question was then *put; and -agreed to,,
that the papers should he inserted on the Jour
nals, and referred to a Committee of General
Yorposes:
VOTE OF TI-lANKB TO, MR. HUME.
The Retptisition to the Loitn.MAyou, desir-.
ing him to hold a Court for this special turpose
was then.read, and
Mr. FAVELL rose to request, that previous_ to
his: offering any observations in the subject-be-
fore them, the Vote of 1.1V174i.5, accorripanying.
the presentation of. the Freedom of Me City to'
the: Marquis of Camden, might be. read ; and.
this haying. been done . .
Alr.--FAvEt.r. resumed. His object in wishing
to have the Resolution, they had just heard read
from the jeturpals. Nyas not to draw any. compari-
son between the Noble,Marquis and. the distin-.
guished ,individual whose conduct they were
about to notice—but to show how carefully that
Court had; at all. times, watched' over the public
actions of men of all parties. Duilng.a long and
eventful war; ihat,Court had never .hesitated to
confer its honours'-upoti 'any 'gallant
deserved well of his country, and it had been
equally.pronipt -to' reward,. as far .as lay iri its
;power, the services of diStinguished - Statesmen.
This being • the case, •there needed no apology
for the motion he, intended to,snbrpit to them.
Was thereany class of Statesmen' more praise-
worthy, he would ask, especially in a time of
peace, that those, who, whilst the people' were
literally groaning under _.an. almost intolerable
load of taxation, exerted themselves_ to support
the great question of. reforrb and'economy; and
-among these what individual had made himself
more conspicuously useful than the gentleman in
question-?-7(Hear, hear.)The Whole .conduct
of that Hon. Member had practically einbodied,
as it were, the records and Resolutions of that
Court ; and they were therefore- bound to notice
that conduct, if merely for the sake of consistency.
.At a moment too;' when • nceti of high rank, civil
.and . military, were .dismissed for not being suf-
ficiently subservient to the Administration of the
day--at such a moment_ it' was iricuin-
bent on them to mark decisively thf,ir sense of
the conduct of those who had fearlessly done
their duty In atteMpting to describe the inde-
fatigable
.perseverance of Mr. Hume, -he had
undertaken a labour of no very ordinary magni-
tude, That Hon. Member had made econonij,
and .retrenchment his . grand object ; .and in so
doing he had pointed out abuses at which even
the Ministers
.themselv.es ...w.ere astonished ; and,
to his honour be it spoken, after having loaded
him witb. abuse, they incorporated hi;. propositions
in their, own Resolutions:—(Hear.)--Ministers
at
.the same time had found the Honourable
;Menlber: a very 'useful bugbear, and had not
.scrupled, to make use of him, in..that ungracious:
capacity,. whenever it initeA•their.-purpose.
