PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUG. 17.

THE QUEEN.
BILL OF PAINS AND PENALTIES.

This being the day fixed for the Second Read-
lug of the Bill of Pains and Penalties in relation
to the Queen, their Lordships' doors were opened
at nine o'clock.—At a very early hour many in-
dividuals, hoping that their assiduity would pro-
cure for them an opportunity
.of witnessing the
progress of this interesting inquiry, assembled in
the neighbourhood of the. House of Lords. Those
however, who did not hear with them the pass..
port of a Noble Lord, or were unconnected with
the public press, were very much disappointed.
Their early rising, as far as their curiosity. was
concerned, was fruitless. The. gentlemen con-
nected with the presS Were enabled, before nine
o'clock, to obtain a station the most convenient
for their labours which the space below the bar
allowed, being in one of the divisions immediately
behind that laid out for the witnesses and the
Queen's Counsel. Soon after their.introduction,
the Peers began to take their seats in the body
of the House ; and several Members .of the House
of Commons, amongst whom we observed Mr.
Tierney, Mr. Calcraft, Mr. Grenfell, &c. took
up stations near the Throne. The space reserved
for the Queen's Counsel, the short-hand writer,
&c., was provided with three small desks. On
these five ink-stands were placed, with a supply-
of pens, ink, paper, and wafers. No seats were
prepared, but chairs were subsequently, supplied.
As 10 o'clock approached the Peers arrived in
considerable numbers. At 25. minutes to nine
the Lord Chancellor arrived, and took his seat
on the woolsack. The Lord Bishop of Llandaff,
as the junior Bishop, then read prayers. Soon
afterwards Sir Charles Abbott (Chief Justice of
the King's Bench,) together with Mr. Justice
Holroyd and Mr. Justice Best, entered the House.
They were soon after followed by Lord Chief
Baron Richards and Mr. Baron Garrote. The
Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common
Pleas arrived immediately afterwards. At ten
o'clock precisely the Order of the House was
read for calling over the names of the Peers
by Mr. Conper, Deputy Clerk of Parliament.
The following Peers were excused from attend-
ance, on account either of indisposition, age, the
death of a near relative, or having been abroad
at the time when the order for the second read-
Mg of the Bill was fixed by the House
Lord Churchill, Lord Melbourne, Lord Lynedoch, Lord
Gardiner, Lord Crewe, Lord Carvsfort, Lord Gower, Lord
RiverActe, Lord Lilford, Lord Wodehonse, Lord Glaston-
bury, Lord Cawdor, Lord De Dunstanville, Lord Middleton,
Lord Thurlow, Lord Braybrooke, Lord Carleton, Lord Shan-
non, Marquis of Waterford, Lord Bulkely, Lord Cathcart,
Lord Vernon, Lard Ashburton, Lord Boyle, Lord Sinclair,
Lord Clifford, Lord Byron, Lord Le Despencer, Bishop of
Rochester, Bishop of Carlisle, Bishop of Norwich, Bishop of
Salisbury, Bishop of Chichester, Bishop of Hereford, Bishop
of Durham, Viscount Gordon, Viscount Dudley and Ward,
Viscount Maynard, Earl Craven, Earl Onsltew, Lord Courte-
nay, Lard Chohnondeley, Lord O'Neil, Lord Talbot, Lord
Elgin, Lord Coventry, Lord Bute, the Dike of Niat thorough,
and the Duke of Leeds: Lord Petre, the Earl of Shrewsbury,
and the Duke of Norfolk., were exempted from the Call of
the House, they beiug Roman Catholics. •
Lord ERSKINE, on' being called, appeared ;
and stated; that he was upwards of 70 years of
age, but he had felt it his duty to attend the
House upon the present occasion. He hoped,
however, he should be allowed to avail himself
Hof that objection, if he should feel it necessary,
at any, future period.
[During the calling over the names of the
Peers, the. shouts of the people assembled in
Palace-yard announced the approach of the
Queen. lit a short time after she entered by the
passage leading from the robing toom, which is
situated on the right hand of the Throne. She
was accompanied by Lady Ann Hamilton, who
with Lord A. H. stood close to her daring the
whele day. She was seated in an arm-chair, on the
right of the Throne and within the space allotted
to the Members of the House of Commons: On
her entrance all the Peers rose to receive her;
she testified her feelings by a graceful obeisance,
and, though evidently much affected by the novel
scene to which site was introduced, took her
seat with becoining.grace and dignity. She was
dressed in black sarsenet, very richly trimmed
With lace; a large white veil partially concealed
her features and' falling in a tasteful drapery on
her bosom, rendered her-figure, when she arose
from her chair, very interesting.] .
The list of the Peers having been gone through,
the Loan
CnANCELLOR stated that lie had received
a letter from the Duke of Sussex, in which his
Royal Highness observed, that he had received
the letter of the Lord Chancellor,- requiring
his attendance in that House upon the 17th in-
stant. Amongst the excuses which were there
stated as sufficient to justify a Peer for absenting
himself during the course of these proceedings, he
did not find any which would apply to him - lie
however, begged leave, as the most respectful
manner in which he could treat the House, to
submit to their Lordships, whether, on account
of the ties of consanguinity which existed between
and the parties who were so intimately con-
nected with the Bill, it would not be proper to
permit him to be absent upon this occasion..
The Duke of Yoitx rose, and said, that if any
person on a variety of grounds had stronger claims
than another to request leave of absence upon
this occasion, he was that individual. lie would
not, however, suffer any. private feelings to deter
him from doing his duty, however painful it
might be.
Lord ERSKINE said he rose to present a Peti-
..tion from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and

ritißkE SEIT'ENiNft:

Common Connell of the City of London, relative
to the Bill now on their Lordships' • talk: 'A
former Petition on this subject had: been rejected
on account of certain passages which *ere deenied
improper for their Lordships to receive: Those'
•passages were in thapresent Petition avoided.--;
The Petitioners merely objected generally to Bills
of Pains and Penalties, as contrary to The esta-
blished rules of British jurisprudence, and
plored the House to pursue some other course
that might be better calculated to secure the af.:
fections of the people towards the house of Bruns,

British justice: His Lordship obServed, that he

through the Parliament.
The Petition was then read, and _laid upon the

The Duke of LEINSTER said, as he was leaving
home that morning, Mr. Stierilf Parkins had
placed in his hands, a Petition from the free-
holders of the County of Middlesex, upon the
subject of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. Ile
now rose to present that. Petition ; but, as it was
signed by Mr. Sheriff Parkins, on the part of the
meeting, he believed that, consistently with the -
order of their Lordships' housse, it could only be '
'received as that Gentleman's Petition. The Pe •
tition (which has already been published)' .was
then read, and ordered to lie on the, table; the
Lord-Chancellor observing, that it must be con-
sidered merely as the petition of Mr. Sherif
Parkins.

The Clerk then proceeded to 'call over the
names of those Peers who had not answered in
the first instance, and for whose absence no ex,
cuse had been offered.

Lord Glerawley not answering to his name,
was stated by Lord LivEttrooL to be above the

age of 70.

A short discussion took place upon the neces-
sity of complying with the rules of the House,
by sending notice of the excuses to the Lord
Chancellor. lt was determined that the fact of
indisposition or superior age being known to any
other Peer might be good grounds for a motion.
Lord Glerawley was accordingly excused, on the
motion of the Earl of LIVIA:POOL.

Some of the other -Peers, who were absent
when the list was first called over, amongst whom
was Lord Hutchinson, now answered, and ex-
cuses were made for'the remainder.

The Duke of Ihrat.ToN moved that the Duke
of Sussex should be excused, for the reasons given
in his Royal highness's letter.—Ordered.
The Duke of Cambridge was also excused, on
the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, being ap-
pointed his Majesty's Viceroy for the kingdom of
Hanover.

The Duke of ',MINSTER then rose, and said—
" My'Lbrds, 1 do not intend to intrude any ob-
servations-of mine upon the attention of your
.Lordships at present. But 1 think it my duty
(with great vehemence) to take the speediest
course of putting, an end, if possible, to this un-
fortunate proceeding. I therefore move, that
the Order of tie Day for the second reading, of
the Bill of Pains and Penalties against her Ma-
jesty.be rescinded." -
Upon this motion a division was called for.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw ; their
Lordships divided, and the numbers were :

Contents. •
Non-contents
Majority against the amendment
•

-- 165

When strangers were re-admitted below the
bar, the.' Order of the Day was read ; after
which it was moved by the Earl of LIVERPOOL
that the Counsel should be called in and heard in
support of the preamble of the Bill.
The Earl of CAR'smtvoN rose to oppose this
motion, and'at the same time he thought it due to
their Lordships to state, that the objection whirls
he had to the King's Counsel being now called
in, was because it appeared to him to be incon-
sistent With the public interests - that this Bill
shoUld proceed one step farther. It was a Bill
against Which the objections were so strong, that
in his opinion, there was hardly any- Bill of a si-
milar nature to which he could be induced to
give his vote. If any reason for such a Bill
existed, still he could not reconcile it to his
duty, unless it was a reason connected with the
utmost necessity. But was there one of their •
Lordships—Was there a man in the, Country,.
who thought that the investigation, into which
it was now proposed to enter, was, under ullthe
circumstances, a measure of public necessity ?
Could the Country be supposed to be in danger
if such an inquiry as the present had never been
instituted? - There was not one. of their Lord-
ships who would get up • and state that any dan- -
ger would arise to the Country if these proceed-
ings had been altogether abandoned. Indeed,
he hardly knew how it could possibly, be stated
that danger could follow from such an abandon-.
ment. Upon the general character of of
Pains and Penalties, he had to observe, that all
such ex postActo laws were generally, intreduct d
under circumstances which were not within reach
of the ordinary process of law. They were gene-
rallyhad recourse to to supply some defect of evi-
dence. But in his opinion, to supply a defect or
evidence by a legislative measure, was to subvert
