Sir HOBRKT WILSON ruse to present a petitiot:
:1011, ;qr. . Grady, Abu Lad betH committed

to the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms on Satur-
day morning. The-petiiion admitted the offence.
It stated that the-petitioner had, in a moment of
irritation inconsiderately addressed to a witness
who had been examined before the- House, lan-
guage which he ought not to have held—that he
Was now deeply sensible of the impropriety of his
conduct, and that he would not only refrain- from
such conduct in future, but also voluntarily de-
clared that he would abstain from all notice of
Hoy ruing which had been or might be said at the
Bar of the House, arid would leave the vindica-
lion •of his character to the result of the judicial
proceedings now instituted, being sure that his
personal character and !monor would never suffer
troll' his reliance on the justice and wisdom of
the H-Ouse.l—The petition was ordered to, lie on
the tabl,t. •
Sir R...SVlr.sort moved, that Mr. Thomas Wm.
Gradybe forthwith called to the Bar of the House,
repriniiiiided by Mr. SPEAKER, and then discharged
cut; pitiinient of his fees.
Mr.4441Y. Grady was then called to the Bar.
The ..‘eNt. AKRIi addressed him as follows :
" Thomas 'William Grady—The using insulting
language to aqty person for what may have been
delivered in the course of evidence at the Bar of
this House, or the threatening any such person for
any evidence that may be so delivered, is a con-
tempt of authority and a breach of its privileges,
which Dever has been and never will be to-
lerated by this House. In your Petition you ac-
knowledge that you hare been guilty of this
offence, and you plead the irritation under which
you acted, the difficulty olf your situation,
and (for these causes) the forgetfulness of what
was due to the dignity of the House. All these
causes, added to your inexperience and youth,
have procured for you the greatest indulgence.
But let me warn you that this House is not to be
trifled with—that persons who are called before it
as witnesses are under its especial protection, and
that any thing done by you or by others, towards
such persons, for any thing delivered to this
House, or from any proceeding growing out of
it, is an offence which will be visited with the
utmost rigour and the severest punishment."—
