WI! I PPING OF FEMALES.
• Mr. CLIETWYNI), -..fter some preliminary. observations
input) the sclera! Statutes which authorized the indietioo of
corporal punishment upon offenders in general, drio ecated,in.
strong terms the practice of whipping female offenders tither
rubliely or privately. The fornier, he observed,. had pis
:.polished by a recent Statute, and he thought the objeetiisos
I. private whipping were equally as strong; if not stronger,
tha, those which applied to %Irks:species of punishment when
inflicted publicly, because the oar was iiitlieted by the gaoler,
seeltiaed from the public e; e, Who might in his sliscrtriou

cruciating wli ch it was• passible to inflict, or a mere matter of
tfoint. The Honourable Member said he should propose to

PARGA.
Lord 3. itusset.t.., bringing forward the mo-
tion of %bleb he had given notice, declined guirg
ioto.the hivory of all the cireonevances which
had ended in the cession of Parge
He, however, thought the generaf opinion ut
inaultind would be, that with respect to :that place
Engfand had acted a part as notoriously uojeseit
and as treacherous ton people whom we had taken
under our protection, as had tweet oeended huma-
nity.' Ile proceeded to describe the situation in
which I'drga had beets placed by the wars sod
treaties of France; Russia, and the Porte;:a'nd
presented the Pargoinotes to baste placed them-
selves under the protection ut Ktighittd in 1614',
but t,, have been quite forgotten in 1815,'whed
the Treaty eras matte which regulated the situation
and government of the iontau Islands. Then
Pato, denied that protection which she had a
sight to expect, had claimed the bent fits which
bad been secured to her by the Treaty of 1800,
but had beeo"told.that the tights then recognized
as belonging to her had been abtogated by sub.
sequent events. He then compla.ned of the
manner in which 'payment of the sum which, on
the cession of Parga, it had been stipulated should
be given as an indemnification to it e Parguinotes
bad been v‘ithheld, and in the end materially
dr-
sninished. In vat ious other instances he described
that unfortunate people to leave beets cruelly dealt
ve it h ; mud circumstanced as England had been
with respect to them, he thought the subject
led to the serious consideration of that House.
Adverting to the conduct ut Maitland in the
lonian Isles, he was aware that that itediidual was
placed in a situation ut great dacohy. Where
meat powers were given, great responsibility wds
necessarily incurred, but he was placed in an ex.
ttautdinaty situation. lie was the head of a Con-
stitutional Government, but lee was supported by
a Foreign force, which enabled tam to put down
ell eXplebSioDS of di3COUleut. He Wit., in fact,
its the situation of King, where a Constitutional
Government was established, but where those
Constuuttotial cheeks which ought to regulate
t.itsely "p.,w4r wt re wautiug, lie sho'Wed
the ef-
frcts of this in the way in which taxes were levied.
Theie. it appealed, were very regularly obtained,
with the omissioft of one little tot innloy. Thw
001iSS101), however, he compared with what might
be complained 01 here, if tare consent of the Pik/
Council and of the liosiseol Lords beiug obtained
