GOVERNOR MACQUARRY.

Mr. BROUGHAM said that he held the Petition
of two individuals of the name of Make and Wil-
liam's, complaining of the. conduct of General
Macquarry, Governor of New South Walt's. • He
considered it his ditty to present all petitions that
were couched in respectful language ; but in this
instance he. had made an inquiry into the cha-
racter of the Petitiooeis, and had'been informed
that they were respectable men, and not likely to
misstate any tact. With respect to any complaints
against the distinguished individual at the heed.
of the Colony, he thought the fault ought to be
imputed more to the system than the man. The
population of New South Wales had now increas-
ed to 20,000, one-half of which were free settlers,
and the annuel increase of births was nearly egaal
to the number of •convicts sent over every year.
But when Governor Macquarry had gone to that •
Colony, the population was almost entirely com-
posed of convicts, who of course required a very
different system of Government. It would therefore
be proper to deal leniently by him, if it should he
found that he had its any wise overstepped the houti-ds
prescribed to his authority. The question would
be, how far lie had overstepped those bol'ands ?
The present petition charged him with having
arbitrarily admioistered the law, particularly itt
levying taxes to the amount of 24,0001. a-year,
without any warrant under his Majesty Commis..
sion. The principal duty which he was chat ged
with having laid, was one of 10s. per gallon on
the importation of spirits. It was also asserted,
that the sum so raised was irregularly applied,
and that the accounts were improperly audited.—
That besides, the Governor was in the habit of
gratying exceptions to his connections and the
persons of his household, who were conse-
quently not affected by the said impost. Ile watt
said to have established a turnpike and turnpike
duty, for which similar exceptions were also
granted. He was also accused of having punished
as offences acts which never were so considered
by the law of this country. The petitioner Blake
complained that, for walking across a piece of
ground which the Governor bad enclosed, he,
who was a free settler, and two other persons
who bad been felons, had been seized, and with-
out trial, or the examination of witnesses npoit
oath, had received twenty-five lashes on their bare
backs. I-fe s:att:ll that be bad laid his complaint
two years since before the House, and had re-
newed it last year without effect. The other pe-
titioner, Williams, was a printer and a free settler,
who had removed Irons the Cape to New South
Wales, wit!) the consent, he asserted, of Lord Ba-
thurst. He had been employed by the prin-
ter of the Government of that Colony, Mr.
Howe ; but having signed one of the forieer
petitions complaining of the Governor's conduce
towards Blake, lie had been discharged in conse-
quence of a positive order to that effect from Gen.
Macquarry to Mr. Howe, to which his having
given his signature was the only offence mention-
ed. His land had consequently been taken away
trout him, and the usual allowance had been re-
fused. Although he (Mr. B.) was disposed to
make the greatest allowances, in consideration of
the change which bad taken place in the charac-
ter of the population of .New South Wales, lie
thought that every thing showed the necessity of
bending the attention of the House towards the
Government of that Colony. It was already a
considerable., and would soon become one of our
must important foreign settlements, and this was
the propitious Monlent for adopting a systen►
which would prevent things in future from tak-
ing a wrong course. He contended that the Nev
South Settlers bad no other means of ob.
taioing redress, when aggrieved, but ,hrough aft
application to that lic;use, and that the Governor
had no right to preveut or punish such an Hpplica•
tiom. Ills only motion at present should be, that
the petition be brought up.—t'l; reed to.
The petition having beets brought tip and read,
Mr. MONaY was well Hequainted with General
Macquarty, end admitted 'the fairness of the ob-
set vatioos with wi,ich the Hon. and Learned Gen-
denten. had prefaced his 'utensil. But if time
chat ges contained in the petition were true, Gen.
Macquarty must have completely altered his c1.8,-

racier ns a man, a character which bad obtained
the respect of all hid friends, and of all who knew
Nay, he must have altered his character as
a Goverocr, for when he had gone to New South
Wales, the corioneocement of his government
• had been marked by the most benevolent endea-
vours to ameliorate the condition of the persons
committed to his charge., He had found the Co-
lony in a state of agitation and insubordination,
which had overthrown the former Government.—
Ail social bonds were dissolved ; the people lived
in a state of concithitiage, and the most "solemn
duties of religion were totally disregarded. His
first efforts had been to restore regular habits,
and revive the solemnization of marriage. lo
'such a population, it was easy to conceive that
such attempts would create towards him.
Hence ninny charges might be preferred against
him. But let him enjoy the same privilege as
every other British subject, of being considered
innocent till proved guilty. Let his long and'
meritorious services have their fair weight, and-
let•it not be forgotten, that whereas felons who had
been pardoned by due authOrity, or had been
found entitled to freedom by their good conduct,
'were still considered incapable of holding any
offices, and kept in an immutable degradation,
Governor Macquarry had rescued them from that
state, and re-opened public employments to merit.,
He most cordially agreed, that after the charges
that had been made on this, and on .a former
'night, with the interest they must all take in the
' prosprrity of the colony, they were called upon
to determine that the Most complete and efficient
investigation ought to take place without delay.-
: Mr. •MatitalNG thought they ought to pause be-
fore they gave credence to 'statements so mate-
rially affecting the character of an Officer who was
so many thousands of miles distant, and incapabre.
of defending himself. Goverdor Macquarry, he
could state trim hiS knowledge of him, was a per-
son of very high honour and reputation. He had
'served his country in Boinbay, he believed, for
'lB years, before he obtained the' present appoint-
loent, and he had been on the StafFin the London
district under tile Earl of Harrington. He was
extremely anxious that the House should.suspend
their opinion, as a Commission bad been ap-
pointed to go out to inquire into the merits of time
case on the spot.
General Hata- had known Governor Macquarry
upwards of 30 years, and thought it his duty to
stand forward on this occasion to declare that he
had never known a man of more unexceptionable
character. He could not believe him capable of
'any oppressive or dishonourable action.
Mr. FoRBES entreatecrthat the most efficient
steps might he taken to inquire into all the cir-
cumstances of the case without -loss of time.—
Governor Macquarry bad been one clay accused by
the settlers in New •South Wales of treating the
convicts with • undue lenity, and on the next he
was charged by the convicts with oppressing them
with uncalled-for severity. Now to him it ap-
peared more than probable, from these complaints,
urged as they were front opposite parties, that
Governor Macrpiarry had offended all, by the strict
imoncialit y with which he had performed his
duty. In imposing restrictions on the imrorta-
tint) of spirits into• New South Wales, it had been
obviously his object to preserve the colony from a
great evil which must have fallen on it had a dif-
ferent system been acted upon. His conduct in
this instance, there was every reason to believe,
had been most upright. He (Mr. M.) knew
that in one instance a-ship had been sent from
India with spirits, which ship was not permitted
to ewer the port, and had been compelled to re-
turn with her cargo. This vessel had been fitted
out by Officers' who had long been in habits of
friendship with Governor Macquarry, sand his con-
duct therefore on this occasion attested his im-
partiality, which would not permit any relaxation
in favour of those he might be most disposed to
serve. In another instance, lie wished to place
Governor Macquarry's conduct in a proper light.
When the present Chief Justice went out, one of
the first regulations that he made was that no
person who had gone from England a convict,
should act 'as a Solicitor in the Court over which
he was to preside. It happened that some Gen-
tlemen who had been so unfortunate as to go from
England as convicts, but who from 'their good
conduct were touch esteemed in •the colony, were
at that time pracriaing as Solicitors. The regu-
lation of the 'Chief Justice went not only to throw
them- out of their occupation, but to give a mo-
nopoly of their business to one individual who
had gone out with him. But did the Governor
permit this regulation to continue in force ? No ;
he had very properly exercised the authority vest-
ed in him, to annul it, anti he was happy to
be able to acid, that he understood his conduct in
this instance had met with the approbation of the
Government at home. Governor Macquarry, if
be (Mr. F.) Were not misinformed, had long since
desired to -be recalled, and he hoped he would
soon be here to defend himself. The inquiry into
his conduct would, he doubted not, redound to his

credit.
Mr. tVtLßErtForics had bad the honour to be
acquainte,t with General Macquarry before he
went to New South Viales, and his conduct had
ever given hint the idea of a gallant sol‘liertalivc
to the het feelings of humanity. Ile, however,
could not so far forget the principles of the British
Constitution, under which he had been educated,
and tie lessons which all history afforded, not to
feel that absolute power wits the most thin:.;,Terous
and corrupting thing that could be confided to any
one, and with all respect,for Governor Macquarry
he would say that he-must be almost more than
human it it had no effect on his character. Jo
illustration of the injurious tendency of absoliOe
power, he detailed the proe,;edings in 'a- certain
libel case which had conic to his knowledge, but
trout the noise which prevailed at the time it was
iinposible to collect the particulars of his state-
matt with accuracy. Recurring to the question
before the House, he agreed that after what had
transpirtd inquiry was absolutely necessary. Ile

t►nrierstonr! that a Commission was now about to

'l4O out.

Though in former cases, when several

Ci+oirilissioners tvei•e sent out, some inconve-

Tnences hart arisen from their differences of oi►i-
llion, he thought More titan one necessary in the
preteut iwtanee, for. the individual now allow to
l►►oceed to New South Wales niust be gifted with

n.ore than mortal discernment, to report 3 atisfac-

.tnrily on the whole case A more difficult task
could hal-ilk; he imposed on any one titan would.
fall on this Gentleman. More Commissioners'
ought to he arpointed, as, it tins were not done,
the decease of this Gentleman might make a .new
Commission necessary, at a time when the refor-
mation desired 'might be looked for, lie then
noticed the .imperfect 'accommodation for females
in the Colony, It was understood that 150 more
were to go out ; but might this to be suffered,'
when they were aware that the misery to which
they must he exposed woulti be such, that it had
been said it would be mercy to bang them op, ra--
thee than to seild them out under such circulll•
Stances ? Au inquiry instituted here, which
need not, he should • think, occupy more than.
one week, would he likely. to put the per-
son about to proceed to - New South Wales
in possession of facts of great importance,
as there were several persons in the Metro-
polis who could afford him some valuable in-
formation. Not presuming to judge of the con-
duct, and still less of the motives, of the Gentle-
watt .whose name had been called in question, he
wont d still say, the settlers in New South Wales
who had gone out expecting to enjoy something
like the- spirit of the British Constitution, were
entitled to the protection of that House, and
.therefore he hoped the Gentlemen opposite would
not content themselves with merely declaring
themselves favourable to inquiry, but that they
would actively support a, proposition to that effect..
He thought it.possible that in the course of two
or three days such information might be obtained
as would qualify the Gentleman going out to pro-
secute the inquiry with which he was charged
better than any information he could procure in
any other way,. As we continued sending. out
what were 'called cargoes of human creatures to
New South Wales, care ought 'to' be taken that

they should be sent out under such circumstances
as would not only prove not injurious to them,
but under such as would rend to produce their moral
reform. Willi these feelings he thought those
who went out in any ship with Dr, BrownloW or
Mr. Hamilton would be more fortunate than
others, froni the superior opportunities fbei would
have of improving themselves. It appeared to
him, in every respect, desirabieT that an inquiry
should take place without further delay, and he
hoped his Hon. Friend opposite would make no
objection to. such a proposition. He had a great
respect for Governor Macquarry, but they in that
House wh&were acquainted with Governors and
Lieut.-Governors ought to remember that there
was another.class,of persons who looked up to
them -for, protection. The weak, the helpless,
and the oppressed, wanted their care, anti how-
ever they might naturally be led away by friend-
ship'to favour.those.with whom "they were con-
nected, it was
.their duty to attend as much as
possible to the interests of those of whom he had
lust spoken.
Xr. Fottaas and Mr.. WILBERFORCE severally
explained. .
, Sir jiMES MACKIN.TOSH said, as the most per-
fect unanimity prevailed on the subject, and all
were agreed that an inquiry ought to take place,
the friends of Governor Macquarry being, as
might be expected, most anxious fur it, he only
rose, lest -his silence should be mistaken, to repeat
his.former testimony to the_character of that Gen-
tleman, whom he had long and intimately known.
He had always believed him distinguished by ho-
nour
and humanity, and he could not think that
he was likely • ever to deviate from principles
which he bad held to form a part of his character.

Mr. GOULEURN said all were agreed that in-
quiry was desirable ; the only difference of opi-
nion was as to the mode in which that inquiry
should be conducted. In the first instance it had
been necessary, as had been justly remarked, to
entrust Governor Eslacqoarry with powers which
went beyond those usually given to Governors,
and though he knew
_nothing of that Gentleman'
personally, never having seen him, he was ready
to bear testimony to the propriety of his conduct
so f,tr as this could be known from the public do-
cuments' which had come under his observation.
The powers given him to restrain the convicts, he
showed, were necessarily extended in their opera-
tion to the free settlers. Had this not been so, the
peace of the Colony would have been very consi-
derably endangered, as the disturbances which
had broken Out on a former occasion were actually
excited by that very class of persons. With
respect to the case of one of the petitioners
(Blake) he had a few words t') say. There was a
place called the Governor's Demesne in the Co-
lony, which was something like Hyde Park. The
gates were open to all persons, but the walls hav-
ing been broken down, and the park having been
made the scene of many indecent improprieties,
the Governor at last issued a proclamation, in
which he threatened, that those who should be
next detected in breaking down the walls of the
demesne should he punished in the way that such
offence's were commonly punished in that Colony.
The petitioner, with two convicts, his associates,
were soon after taken in the act of breaking down
the walls, and were in consequence carried
before a Magistrate, and afterwards flogged. This
certainly could not have been done in England,
hnt since the first establishment of the C
oolony it
bad heel] usual to visit offences with crporeal
punishment, which would be dealt with iu another
way in this country. This system was not new to
the [loose. They had long since had it before them
io the Report of a Committee. As to the manner
is which this punishment was inflicted, from what
he had been able to learn from the best authority,
that of free settlers, who had returned to this
country, if there was a fault at all, it was that of
which he had spoken, as being too sparingly re-
sorted to. Of the case of Williams, as to the letter
said to have been written by the Governor re-
specting that person he had no knowledge what-
ever. With respect to what bad been said of the
duties on the importation of spirits, he had to re-
mark, that ever since the that estahlishrnent of
the Colony some restrictions had been found ne-
cessary, on the same principle that excluded spi-
rituous liquors front our prisons in England. The ,
duties bail been ra:sed or lowered from time to time,
according to the circumstances of the colony. With
the information recently received, it would shortly
be his duty to propose a measure that would have,
the effect of placing these duties on a legal footing.
On the subject of the public expenditure, he had I

r to state, that in New &nth Wales, as in every
ether colony, the person-holding the public money
"fres bOund to advance it on the warrant 'of the
Governor. Thc warrant of the Governor was the
Treasurer's,discfmarge, and it was for the Govern.i
ment at home to determine whether or not the
expenditure that hadiaken place was justified
In this respect there Was not any thing. iMproper
which, appeared in the system of' New South
Wales. The Honourable Gentleman had thoOght
two or three persons would be better sent
than one' iu the Commission no going' out.
He bad to state that the Commission had been is-
sued in 1817, hut bad never been acted upon till
now, from the difficulty of finding any person, pro-
perly qualified to conduct the inquiry, willing to
accept the office. Such a person had now been
found. The Secretary who would accompany
him, in the event of that person's decease, was a
person competent to follow up the investigation,
and therefore it was thought better that they
should proceed forthwith to New South Wales,
than that further delay should take place, while
two other persons were sought to accompany
them. On the other topics which had been
touched upon, he declined entering at present.
Mr. BRNNWT contended, the Governor of New
South Wales bad exercised a power, which Go-
yernment—which the King himself could not
authorise bins to exercise without an Act of Par-
!lament. If. corporeal plutishment were inflicted,
for a trespass, it might iA apr-lied in civil cases.
He also complained of the absolute power which
lie had been exercise_
stased to exercise, in taxing spirits,
and its imposing port duties.:. He wa2 friendly to
a tax on spirits, but it svas to time mode in wWch
this had been imposed for the last 20 years that
he .objected. Of Governor 111acquarry he thought
well but he was of opinion, that, possessed of
absolute power, any man its his situation was
likely to do what he would not do it he had a
Council, and were subjected to domestic eon-
troul. He thought an
.immediate inquiry, neces-
sary, as it would put his Hot). Friend, the Com-
loissioner about to pro,ceed to New South Wales,
in pUssession of knowledge which it was very im-
portant that he should.carry out with him. He
therefore gave notice, that on Friday he would
move for an instruction .to the' Committee on
Jails to proceed immediately to inquire into this
subject.

After a few words frotp fir. J. DRUMMOND,
Mr. BROUGHAM replied, and the Petitions were
ordered to lie on the table.

OBSOLETE SCOTCH LAWS.

Sir J. NEWPORT called on the House to inquire
into the power assumed in the Sco;ch Courts of
Judicature to declare statutes that were unre-
pealed to have fallen into desuetude, to be obso-
lete, and not binding on the King's subjects.
Such a power, he conanded, ought only to be ex-
ercised under _the, SAIiCtiQUI of the Legislature.
Not only were•whole
,statutes declared obsolete,
but parts of statutes were_ thus dealt with, while
other parts of the same laws were still held to be
efficient., Lie moved for an humble Address to
the Prince Regent, praying, that he would be
pleased to direct an inquiry to be instituted
into the nature, extent, and limits of the power
assumed by the Lords of Session—the Judges of
the Court of Justiciary, and the Barons of the
Exchequer in Scotland, declaring statutes, or parts
of statutes, to have fallen into desnetntle--rto have
become obsolete and nO longer binding on the
King's subjects---,specifying the authority whence
their power was derived--..how their decisions were
promulgated, and, hot! far , they were held to be
binding on Other, Courts, -or on their successors,
and to report, with their opinions of the cOrn-
mittee on the subject, a list of the statutes or
parts of statutes declared to have fallen into
desuetude.

The LORD ADVOCATE of
,SCOTLAND said, that
which was now objected to by the Right Hon.
Baronet, had never been complaimed of in Scot-
land from the period of the Union in 1707 up to
the present time. • He thought it would appear
that the lion. Baronet proceeded in a misappre-
hension altogether. He showed that those laws
only had fallen into desuetude,which, from various
circumstances,were no longer applicable to the si-
tuation of the country. No law enacted by the Par-
liament of Great Britain had ever fallen into des-
uetude. Some of the statutes enacted by the
Scotch Parliaments, which contained the best part
of the law of Scotland, contained also enactments
which no longer could be regarded as applicable
to the circumstances of the kingdom. Some of
these he might instance were directed against
Englishmen ; against intercourse with England 3
and there was one law which the Bight Hon.
Baronet himself might have no ambition to vio-
late, but which was often broken by his country-
men, some of-whom visited Scotland every day,
which went to forbid the importation of Irish-
men, and to visit with pains and penalties all
who should be concerned in bringing them to the
country.—(A laugh.)—Conceiving the present
motion to be unnecessary, he mast give it his
opposition.

Mr.Humc said, that the argument of the Learn-
ed Lord went as far as the proposition, that be-
cause no Scorchman had said any thing against
the laws of their country in this House, that there-
fore the whole people of that kingdom were quite
satisfied with the present state of their laws.—
Against this doctrine he must protest, for it was
nut borne out by the fact. He complained par-
ticularly that orders of the Court of Session in
Scotland, called Acts of Sedernot, supthleded the
authority of Acts of Ya►liament—(No, No !)
This he could prove ; and accordingly he read
an extract from the judgment of one of the Lords
of Session from an authentic report, the first pas-
sage of which was—" I care not what the Act
of Parliament says ; for the Act of Sedernut is
that by which we must guide our decision."—On
the whole, he was surprised to hear any objec-
tion made to this 'motion. It was a monstrous
grievance in Scotland that there was an Act of
Sedertmt which barred the door of the Court
against every man, who had not his pleading on
petition, unless it was signed by some Counsel.—
This was, he believed, unknown in England.—
Within the last few• months he had read the

Scotch Acts of Parliament: mod he had no hesi-
tation in saying that many of them ought to be.
repealed. Het hoped the House would not reject
the motion.
