PREVENTIVE,SERVICE..
The Earl of DARNLEY' rase; pursuant to the notice he
had given, to call their Lordships' attention to the late :fatal
:event which had occurred on the coast of Kent-'—the death of'
an officer employed on the Preventisie Service, in consequence
of his being fired on by one of the men under his ennimand:....:.
The Noble Lord, in stating the grounds on which he brought
this subject before the House, was not always distinctly heard
belOw tie bar. He said, that although an instance, of sudden
and melancholy deprivation of life,had just occurred:: St.,was
not merely on That account that he considered it his dtity to'
call their Lordships' attention to the system of the coast block-
ade.. It was not this particular transaction, although of so ca.
lainitous a nature in itself, which had induced him to come
forward, but because he entertained serious .objections to the
whole -system of the preventive service. Neither wag he in•
auced to allude to the melancholy event which had taken place
in consequence of his giving credit to what had been originally
reported :he could not suppose that any officer in the rvice•
had given orders, that whenever three persons were-together on
the beach, they were to be hailed, and if they did not answer,
fired on : but in the present case, souse very extraordinary par.
ticulars had come out in the evidence before the Coroner's Jury,.
It appeared that the seaman who had killed his officer, tillp•
posing that smugglers were advancing towards him,' bailed,
and then fired his musket. Now he was afraid their Lordships
would find, that many other instances of fatal accidents of this
kind had occurred. He was informed that there was in Hest-
ings church-yard, a monumental record of the death of a fisher-
man, who was killed by being fired on by the coast blockade.
The fisherman, approaching in his boat, was hailed, and no
answer being heard, he was shot dead. In this case the Co-
roner's Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder. This vex-
atious system had been suggested by a pliant officer, who, like
hit namesake who was of opinion that a country lost nothing
by absentees, perhaps :bought that it made little differ-
ence whether a ship's company were kept on board, or scat-
tered individually about the coast. But though seamen only
had in the first instance been etriployttl on this service, it ap- '
peared that a different practice now prevailed. Landsmen
were selected from the crews of .the ships employed on the
blockading stations ; nay, it often happened that these lands.
men were raw Irishmen, totally unacquainted with the manners
orthevountry in which they Were employed, and ignorant even
of the language of the people they were required to hail. In
order to show their Lords Sips to what vexations the measures
adopted for the prevention of smuggling necessarily led, he
would just mention a circumstance which had fallen under his
own iminediate observation, in which indeed he was • a party.
On going from Gravesend. in a bone for the purpose of landing
opposite-to his own house, one of the men employed t prevent
smuggling stopped limit and not only insisted on searching a
small trunk which he carried with him, but also his person.
The man was armed, and there was no alternative but to sub.
mit. He desired that he might be taken before the commanding
officer, who, on hearing the complaint, behaved with the liber-
ality of a gentleman, and proposed to have time man punished.
To that proposition he was, however,-by no means dist:wed to
assent; the man had acted under a mi.‘ken idea of his duty,
and it was not the man bur the system he blamed.. tie
mentioned this case to their Lordships berasorte, when they
knew that such things occurred to persons in 'his situation of
life, they would the more easily conceive the vexations and
dangers to which peer fishermen and other individuals going
about their lawful occupations might be exposed. Having said
this much, he would wish their Lordships to consider what ad.,
vantage could be expected from the continuation of this ha.
rassing system. Supposing the blockading plan perfect, he
'believed that sentigpiling would still be carried on with us much '
activity as ever., %Vhile high duties existetl, the temptation to
contraband trade would he too powerful for any measures
of repression. If the adventurers could be driven entirely
from one part of the coast, they would carry on their trade on
another. At present the line of blockade extended from Sheer.. I
nom to Portsmouth; but, in spite, dl' this notable system,
smuggling had increased, and, he believed, was carried on •
to a greater extent than ever, even on the most strictly
guarded part of the coast. He understood, that the motion he t
intended to make would not be opposed by the- Noble Lord
opposite, and he should therefore dwell no longer on the subject.
He should only say, that he thotight the whole system should I
be brought under the revision-of Parliament. The Noble Earl
concluded by moving that there 'be laid before the House an
account of the number of officers and seamen on board his
Majesty's ships Ramilies and Hyperion, distinguishing, the ! :
landsmen; also au account of the annual expenee of the pre.
ventive service.

Lord AIt:WILLI; did not rise to oppose the motion, but
to notice some part of what had fallen from the Noble Lord.
Ile must observe, that the Noble Lord was completely miein.
formed if he believed that any orders had been given to officers
employed in the preventive service calcelated to annoy or
molest his Majesty's subjects when net offending against the
law. There never was an order given which could jue,ify any
man in firing on persons engaged in peaceful avocations. Not
only was there no such order, but 'the man employed on the
service had been strictly enjoined never to resort to violence,
until they were themselves attacked. lint surely nobody
would say, that if persons lawfully employed with arms in
their hands were attacked, they were ,not entitled to defend
themselves. Upon the Unfortunate night in question, notice
had been received that there were bands of smugglers on the
• coast to the westward of the. station where the acci4lent occurred.
—A communication to this effect had been passed along the
whole line, and it appeared that in a eminent of flurry and
agitation, one of the men had-committed an act for which he
would soon have to answer to the laws of his country—he
had fired his mutiket and killed his officer. Ile did not mean
to contend
that persons employed on such a service ns the
coast blockade might. not act improperly; but it was abso-
lutely
necessary that armed men shbulti be employed to put
m
down large bodiei of ared toperggieri. Before the present
system was established, troops- were eitipleyed to watch the
coast, and then
trimmer as now, Cu be fired 'upon for our bringing to, or not
persons in teats were Table, in the hanie
answering when hailed- lie eould assure the Noble Lord that
he was much mistaken if lie supposed there was any ether ef.
fecittal method of suppressing swum., • ,lingeharthat of the em.
ploentent of au armed force; and their Lerdshipe must be
aware that the resistance of large Bodies to persons in the legal
exercise of their duty 'Was, by sundry Acts of Parliament, made
a capital offence. The • Noble lord had &hided to the cute-
blishment of the coast blockade by a naval officer, but as an
armed force was necessary, be bad advanced Do argument to
Alley/ why that force should mot be a naval one. If he itnagin. '
ed that smuggling, could beprevented by the ordinary custom.
house-officers, he was most egregiously mistaken. The em-
ployment either of troops or seamen was indispensable. - The
Noble Lord was likewise in error in suppoeitig that smuggling
was carried on to a greater extent now than formerly. In an.-
swer to the observation that the 'men etnployed in the preven-
tive service were not seamen, it wits only necessary to mention
how the crews of the ships of war were composed. Their.
Lordships were aware that seamen were in general diecherged.
after serving the usual period of three Petrie and he could nee
sure the Noble Lord that he was greatly mistaken in supposing
that there was by any means an undue proportion of -is :denten
in the service. There was no article with regard to which he
had so much objection to 'a reduction of duty as that of spirits,
which acted as a poison• on the lower' classes_; bat-there was no
alternative between the lowering of the duty to a greet extent
and the •employment of an armed fierce of some kind or other._
Front the inforaintion which had been received, it eppeaera thee
along the western part of the coast of Kent there Were regelar
armed organized trends of smugglers, who could oely he pre-
vented front evening goods by an active forte. The Noble
