nrtides of his Charges, as hey might
1., ~per, be referred to a Committee of the whole

Lord Coet.ittAtia observed, that it must be ob-
vious to the Hottse,,that wit bout calling in evi-
dente, it xl-fluid he impossible for them to come to
a decision on the validity of his charges. Ass,er-,
lions on one side, and ingenious arguments on the
other, would not be suffirient for that purpose.--
He had fully -considered the subject, and was
uvoare of the responsibility which he incurred,
should he fait to prove hip -charges. In justice to
himself, and to the Noble Lord at the head of the
- Bench, hir wished the Whole to he examined deeply.
The House saw that he did not shrink from inves-
tigotion. He should not enter into the details of
the charges now, for the only way of coming to a
decision, was to examine evidence, and he was pre-
pared with evidence to establish them all. Heshould
:lilt:Wore only move, that the articles which con-
" tained the charges (if partiality, misrepresentation,
injustice,. and oppression, against Lord Chief
Justice Ellenborough, he referred to a Committee
01 the tshole House. 'I
-le hoped that it was not
intended to quash the inquiry, and he would then
prove that the grossest iniustice had been done to
hint, both by misrepresentation during the trial,
and by the refusal of granting him anew trial.—
An Hon. Member bad said in that House, that he

wthild not lay his head clown On his pillow with-
out an investigation.- lie hoped the House would
have the same, feeling, and would not deny hint
an investigation, which was of so much impor-
tance to himself, and to the Lord Chief, JoStift.
Ile trusted that, in particular, the illembCr for
St. Alichael's (Mr. Law) would be most ready to
second this investigation.
The question having been' seconded by Sir F.
BURDETT, and put by the Speaker,
Mr. Law rose, not to second the investigation.
lie would not deny that he could not entirely re-
press his personal feelings; but they, were mctged
and lost in the public importance of the question
subjected to the House. He did not allude to the
. charges on the table ; they were too contemptible
to deserve the appellation of important, hot to
their object, which was to vilify the Chief .lustice
of the country. He should not raise his voice in
sopport of such a plan : he should feel himself
disgraced and unfit to sir in that House, in which
the House itself had declared the Noble Lord .un-
%sort by to, it, if he should add his name to the few
who would support such a motion. He did not
• believe that the object of the Noble Lord was to
des#troy the character of the. Chief Justice ; if that
was his object, he had only to load him with his
praise instead of his censure, but he wished to
vilify the administration of justice in the land.
Mr. lionacß called the 1100. Gentlemen to or-
der. It was contrary to all order of the House.
t hat qtl Member in his place should charge.
anotAr Mil. Member in his place; and doing
whait'he conceived to be his duty, with a wish to
'airy the administration of justice, or with any
other improper Motive.
Me, LAW resumeo. It was far from his inten-
tion to infringe the roles of the House on Oils or
'any occasion. The flon. Gentleman then pun.
cee,ded to take a review of the Noble Lord's
Charges, and observed the Noble Lord seemed
entirely to have mistaken the nature of the duty
of a Judge. lie (Mr. L.) considered, that it was
the (hay of a Judge to endeavour to-class, the evi-
dence, and to direct the Jury. It was not the
duty of a Judge to leave 'an inexperienced Jury
afloat on the ocean of doubt and uncertainty, nei-
ther was it. his'duty to become the advocate either
of plaintiff or t,lelendent, but it 'was his duty to
take a middle course between the parties, and to
endeavour to direct the Jury, to the best of his
judgment, to a right decision. Such had, in
cis itl►i-
's no, been the conduct of the Noble Judge on
this occasion ; and if there should have been any
error on the part of the Noble Lord, it was only
the error of human nature. Only one being wits
dr could be considered as truly free from error ;
that was• not an earthly being. If the Noble LOrd
expected to find perfectibility on earth, he de-
ceived himself ; and if there should, in the course
of a sununineup, where the expressions of a Judge
must be those which occurred on the instant,
should it even appear that some of the expressions •
need were-not such as would have beets introduced
Into a speech 'delivered after a long and mature •
consideration', were snch expressions to be made
subject of impeachment 'fbe Hon. Gentleman
proceeded to comment further on the conduct of
Lord Cochrane, who, he observed, was the party
convicted accusing his Judge ; and concluded by
vb,erving, that he would cheerfolly, on this oc-
casion, leave the character of the accused in the
bands of tbe,House, fully convinced that, in con-
sidering the character of the Lord Chief Justice,
the House would consider its own and, in-so
doing, would dismiss the charge with the indig-
nation it merited.

PONSONBY Said, he was one of those who,
on It tovnier occasion, voted against the motion
for expelling the .Ploblc Lord., Whether that
vote was right or wrong he. was not now called
on to enquire; the subject, then and the subject
now were entirely distinct—the present was not
question, against the Noble Lord; but it was a
motion of impeachment 'by the Noble Lord
against hit Judge. If it could ever be suppo4ed
that a Judge deserved impeachment, no man could
he more ready than he would be to second that
Impeachment ; but. where were the grounds on
the :present occasion. The Noble Lord had tie-
sired the Houst would proceed 'tin reponsi-
hiiity. The House, could not look at the Noble
I,4nrd's responsibility; they nmst proceed on
their 'Om) responsibility, and must look for
facts 1:6 justify them to the- country, should they
sopport the Noble Lord. He had on a for Mer
night said, he could not discover the jus-
tice of, the rule which refused the Noble
Lord a new trial becatise all the defendants were
nor preceat in Court ; but it was a rule of Court,
awl therefore ro adhere to that rule was no crime
on ihe part of a Judge, He hail-ever heard it
held that no charge should be held against a Jintge,
unless nn the grounds of criminality ; and he
tvuold atii, looking at the charges now exiiiiiited,
where was the criminality ? The first charge was
a chaige that Lord Ellenborough had °Meted" the

-.. ___.

Cols case frequently, but was 'obliged to say lie
could not seemly thing ilt this atijournment of the
Trial injurious to the -defendant. On the con-
trary,- the Judge had .certainty the power of ad-
journing a trial at any time, when he should con-
sider it for the interest of Justice to do so. the
present-ease„ he had ordered. an adjourninent at 3
o'dork in the morning, and that immediately after
the defendant's Counsel had addressed tlie•Jory.
Flow, then , did the ury separate? Cert ainly not (tn,
dvrcircumstanceihjurions to the defendant, since
they 'departed 11 iil the iinpre.Ssion our their n
recently made by the arguments and eloquence of
the detendant's Advocate ; and, with -that inn-
pression unimpaired, they next morning, assem-
bled to hear the defendant's- evidenee.--;;Mr. Pon-
sonhy then proeeelled to a review of the other
charges, and conekuled with declaring, that, af-
ter a most attentive consideration of alt the
charges, he was ready to prinest, most solemnly,
that he cotild see no grounds for carrying up.the
impeachment, or fOr. the House taking any step
which Could in the most distant titanner impute to
the Noble and Learned Judge oppression or in-
justice towards the Noble Lord wino had preferred
those charges.

SotAcyrolt-GENERAL admitted the neces-
sity of watching the comluct on the one liand of
the Judges, and on the other of upholding the
administrators oflustier, when Justice is duly
atl-
rxministered. He agreed in, 'opinion with the Right
lion. Gentleman, that it was necessary to make
out to the satisfaction of the lkonse, that - the
stream of justice had been perverted' by a state-
meta of facts--on the face of the charges against
the accused.. ,With respect to the charge of ad-
journing the trial, he, for one, at a lute hour
or the night would have intreated him to
go on, when. the. whole of the evidence was
warm in the recollection of the July. But in
this case it was *tor the advantage of the de-
fendants that it should he adjourued. The Noble
Lord had told the Learned Counsel for tee defen-
dant, that he would rather hear his Livening ; and
he did so for this 'raspy), that if the defendants
were really delinquents, they should not have an
opptirconity to shape their ase toisqnare with the
evidence adduced against them. There was not
the slightest reason to ilepote either corrup-
tion or error to the Noble judge., , The'other
' charges generally imputed miscondect at the
trial on the p;trc of the NOttle Judge ; and
what is very extraordinary, on the motion tor a
new trial, atlithvits werehrought forward to induce
a new trial, imputing fa2ls am: conduct on the trial
which really did not exist %ellen he was trying the
cause. The only charge of mistatement was in
respect to the evidence of Alexauder Murray ; and
to respect to that evidence, it was' alleged, that-,
in addregiing the Jury, he drew a wrong infer-
owe. But who wits the best judge of the ill-
fference to be drawn front the evidenee4-DCertainly
the Leartved Person before whotn. the evidence
was given, and who alone.,, was the real judge
of the weight of the evidence.-- The Honour-
able Gentleman &mold nut conceive, bet for the
pm-I,,,sei of public justice, what ,it could' be to
him what became of De. Berenger,. Cochrane
J oh nsi unt., Butt , or the Noble LorW himself ; yet,
dist ributiug the right measure ollust ice, he .was
to be charged with corrupt couthiet-44;k, he its,
peached, and brought to the liar of this Housi4--
when no one fact bad been proved. against him..
Time Noble Lord bad fdr a series of„years held
judicial situation, administering sturdy justice, if
he might so call it, without the s+,ealow Of obser-
vation against him ; and now it was to be eXpected,
that upon arguments only, and not facts, he was
to be impeached. The lion. Gentleman eine-
mettle(' on the evidence, and contended, that it
would be an' act of injustice to the Chief jaStice,
if the House did unit immediately iiegy.tive the
[notion for going into a Committee.:
Sir F. BueneTT said, it was impoeslble
to en-
ter into the question without going'. into the
winde of the case, affecting the inuticettcy of the
Noble Lord who had imlfered so notch • "He
should Feiss over the, inconsiderateness of the con-
duct of the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Law) allowing
him- latitude for his feelings, anti the common-
place observations of throwing discredit on t.ime
Judicial Bench, by the entertaining of the„potion,
that those observations, were futile, supposing
'there really were causes for cOmplaint against the
Chief Justice. The Hone Baronet then examined
the charges. With respect to the adjournment,
the Counsel for the defendants desired it, is their
physical powers were inadequate to do justice to
their clients, therefOre.the tirade of time Hon. and
Learned Gentleman fell to the gronnd as to the
advantage to the defendants. The Learned Judge
stated, as a reason for compelling the prosecutor
,to proceed, that certain Gentlemen in. Office could
not conveniently attend the Court the next tlay.--•
Here then was-a ground for partiality. Noticing
the comments of the Learned Judge on the dress
of De Berenger, when he presented" himself be-
fore the Noble Lord on the morniugofthe fraud,
be contended, that there was no proof that the
Noble Lord was aware of haviug„' as the Chief
Justice expressed 4‘ hunted down the
game, and caught hfm in time skin, and in the eos•
tunic ot his crime." With respect to the red and
green tinhorn), the only tittle of evidence to fix
that knowledge upoe him was the hackney coach-
man. He understood that the •:.iitimelt Exchan,,a
Committee offered money tor evidence.

[Here the Attorney•Geutral called' the Hon. Baronet to
order fur asserting, 1%4 he understood, that the Coachtean re.
ecived a bribe as the purchase c 4 his false testimony on that
occasion. The Learned'Gentleman was then himself called
to order by Sir Francis Burdett, who resu;ned his speech.]
The Honourable Baronet proceeded with his
comments" shoving that the Chief Justice might
have erred, as well es Crane, the hackney-coach
man, for there rettainly was doubt us to the uni-
form. The whOle question is, whether the case
of the Noble Lord had been fairly considered
(without entering Tinto the consideration of the
weight of the charges) ? 'ha thOught not ; and
hiving duly examined the evidence, he was for
going into the Committee ; the question did not
timely affect the Jodge, it coneerned the motion
collectively. The ilon. baronet condeninot
the practice adopted by Courts of Law, of not
granting new trials, because some of the con-
bpirdtors were not in Court at the time he applied
for rehearing. With respect to 'Lc conduct 0.:

a:

time4,,,Noble lodge, it had proceeded on mistlirec-
tiOn to the Jury, in his opinion ; he complained
of the want of condomir In the Hon. and Learned
Cientleman (the Solicitor-Geoeral), in selecting
.the we;mkest parts of the thirteen charges. Sam-
ples in general: weri nova correct- view of the
bulk, and he would venture to say; that it the
House went into the Committee,i, they would be
satisfied of,the truth of whet he contended for.-
The ATToItNin7Gr.NMIAL observed, that many
persoas had thought the .House had paused too
long before'the matter had been considered.: he
was, however, of a different opinion. When
the .Learned Judge heard the decision of this day,
be nomild feel himself proud to find that there
was no one disposed to uphold the charges
against the Judicial Authority, with the excep-
tion of time nufortunate convict. He defended the
coarse pursued by the Learned Judge, and ob-
served, it was unfortunate for the Noble Lord to
have his NAN:agile, the Baronet, for defender;
in respeetto the dress of De Berenger—the strong
continents about time game and time skin were en-
grafted on the evidence as to the fact, and there-
fore he did not °instep 'his duty. In the affi-
davit of the Noble Lord, voluntarily made, he bad
descmilmed, the dress ,of De Berenger to be diffe-
rent. Time Leatned Judge had observed in his
charge--" Did. it not occur to the Noble Lord to
ask be Berenger why he appeated in that dress."
to'did to,t the Noble Lord give De Berenger an'
old black coat tai go on board the Torment to get
out of the way ? he contended that the evidence
of Crane was sufficient to fix the knowledge of
the dress of De Berenger on the Noble&Lord on
the morning Of the fraud. With respect to the
moomion for a new trial, the Noble Lord had been
beamd by the Court, composed of some of the
most 'plight hien-that ever sat on the Beoch of
Justice, and they reviewed all that had passed 'at ,
Guildhall before time Learned Chief, and confirm-
ed it,

Sir F. DUIMETT, in explanation, denied (as had
been stated to the Jury by the Chief Justice) that
De Lierenger had appeared before the Noble Lord
blazon«l in the costume of his crime.
Mr.LIARHAM waS-CooViriCed there was not suf-
ficient grOnnds for going.into the Committee. In
saying this, he .did not shrink from again express-
ing his conviction of the innocence of the Noble
Lord, which lie had expressed more than once.
Lard COCHRANP,, in reply to the arginuents used
against his motion, contended that if the House
would hear evidence, he should Ise able to prove
the charges. Nor would he wish that the bitter.
est enemy that he had to imother enquiry, if he
had Stood charged'. If he had been allowed, he
could hare shewn that some of the Jury, from the
extreme length of the,cuquiry, were in au state of
sropetaction. With respect to certain observations
of the Chief Justice, as 'to the inducement to
commit the fraud', they could riot apply to him, for
the whole of his loss could not have amounted to
one shilling in the und'of his 01'0'11011S gains.—
On the subject of 1e Berenger's shifting himself
before he came to till (Lord Cochrane's) house;
Lard Ellenborough, he contended, passed over
the portnianteau;, which it was proved De Bereft-
per had with him;, and such neglect as that, its
the SglUMiog' up, .waksoflicient to Jus,rify the in-
quiry 'be, (Lord COChl'ane). sought for,. Without
such an inquiry it would be- impossible for the
lloube to iudge of the facts he' hod to lay before
:It, He was, however, detersuined not to ceasf
tnitifheisid the Whole of this matter before the
public.
The Callery was then cleared for a division,
when the number was--

Ayes
Noes

Sir FRANCIS BURDIUT and Lord tOCURANE
were two of the Tellers. The House was count-
ed, but in point di fact no division took place.—
The Gallery was re-opened.

Mr. Pot4soNrsi-said, he had .been accused by
the Noble Lord (Cochrane)Withnot having made
himself master of the Cbargea ; 'but he ctOuld as-
sure the Noble Lord; that tie had read them over
thar day. The House had determined to reject
these Artioles of Charge; and now it was for Like
House to say, whether it would stiffer those Ar-
ticles of Charge to stand on their Journals, or to
allow theta to remain unsupported and tintomuled
as they were.. In his opinion, it followed. as a
matter of course that they should be expunged.--
Ile then moved that the Charges he expunged
from the Joittuals. This course did not prevent
the Noble Lord from proceeding in any way out
of that 'House he Might think fir. _

Lord CAsTt.ettv.hoii seconded the motion'. He
thought the Right }Jon. Gentleman had taken the
proper step with respect to those charges, which
ought never to hie been brought before the
House. He trusted that the vote of the House,
being unexampled, would be a sufficient proof of
the purity of the Noble Judge who was the sub-
ject of these unfounded charges.
Lord COCHRANE said, that none of the charges
bad been refuted. Posterity would judge of them,
independent of any consideration of the opinion
of, that llouse, Ile pledged himself to bring this
business before the House -year After year, and
on all occasions,

Sir P. 13u1wi'rT did not oppose the motion, as
he viewed it tar the necessary conscquenee of the
decision come to on the motion of the Noble Lord.
The question was then put and carried.
The other Orders of the'Day were disposed of,
and the House adjourned.
