was completely a prey to ,the italtLeS before the ar-

lIAREAS CORPUS.'
The Marquis of Latssnovvise prefated his ma-
tion for their Lordships going :into a Committee
ott this Bill with a short, hot comprehensive
speech. Be described the object Of the Bill to he
to render more efficacious and beneficial that sa-
lutary statute, derived from the best prinCiples of
Magna Charta, upon which so much of the per--
tonal liberty of the subject depended,.namely, the
Habeas Cr-irons Act. The way in which the Bill
went to effect this was.principally, first, by ena-
Wing time Judges to issue out writs of HiTheas
Corpus in vacation time ; and secondly, autho-
rising them to inquire into the farts alleged in
the respective eases. The Noble Marquis advert-
ed to some cases, in which, from the want of opi-
nion of such a nature, the individuals concerned
were for a time, et least, deprived of the whole
benefit of the Aut. lie trusted their Lordships
would assent to go into the Committee, in which
stage the Bill could receive such amendments Rs
were deemed adiisable, cad concluded by moving
accordingly.
• Lord ELLENnottotron would not, oppoie goiog
into the Committee, but believed the object his
Noble Friend had in view might be attained by
the adoption' of only a part of the Bill, but to
render the measure fit for the conearrence of their
Lordships, it 'would reqeire some very material
amendments. With reseed to the iii3thoces ad-
verted to' by the Noble Marquis, and which ,
edeo render legislative interposition necessary, he
Must say, that in the whole course o; the 14 years
he had the honour to 'fill his present s;tuation, but
one solitary case hail come to his knowledge.
The House Abet) resolved into a Coolant tee on
the Bill, when several amendments.were proposed '
by Lord 'Ellenborough, and which, atter sonic
conversation between his Lordship, the. Noble
Marquis, the total Chancellor, and Lord 114-
land, were agreed to by the Counnitte'e, and the
House resuming, ordered the Bill, as imenckd
to be ingrossed.
CORONERS' BILL:
the 'Marquis of BucKittioniat moved the third
' readiog of the Coroners' Bill, stating his opinion
that the Coroners,were not sufficiently remunerat-
ed, their allowances not having been iticreisied
since thelast relict). Theoffiee of Coroner was
one of very considerable importauce, antl_ he
thought that, e,itlier they stiould go hack to the'
ancient prastth e of making it a compotiory office
upon persons of property, without remuneration,
or give es remuneration that was proper and suf-
' ficient. , Ills Lmalship agreed that this Intd been
in his view erroneously considered a priVate
but this was not the f4ith...4-4414:1 () ors/M mr; wttiont-
iiitroduCed it as a Private Bill in obedieuce to high
authority Inanotiicr place.
The Earl of Ecias:noser opposed the Dill, ,in
the grounds of its having beeti nu impropeily
,carried thrOugh the liouie as a ivate Jliil, it
being (if ever there was tote) a Bill, its
having for its Objeet, to levY a tax upon all.tlie oc-
cupiers of houses and land, amid of therCnot hay-
been sufficient time allowed to collect the opi-
nioa cif the,Magistrates at the Alifereut'atarter
Sessions respectiegthe moved
to postpone the thittl reading for it months.
• Th,. ot` IlucKiNuu 'Ar4 tuention6l, that
in Buchan a, draft of the Bin had been sohmitted
to the Bench of Magistrates, and he had. received
,a letter from the Chairman of the Sessions in So-
mersetshire against the Bill, which proved it had
beemne a una.ter of diseit3sion.
Lord ELLEt4BOR6UGii agreed generally in the
propriety of the Bill (the Coroners at present not
being suffiCiently remunerated), but he objected
to ti allowance proposed to be made to' them for
attentlitig the Assizes and Sessions, which he was
not aware they Wercboinol any law to do, the,
law only requiring thtitt they should certify their
and if in
.a case of miirderli Might be
of iinportance fat' the Corotier to attend, his I'd
notneration might he made a part of the expellees
allowed in that particular case. It, this part was
left:- out,' be should vote for the Bill. He wits„,
howeVer, clearly of opiniou,, that it Ought to be
considered as 14 Public Bill.
The Unto
opinion that the Wit ought'to he -considered a
Public Bill.
! The Earl of VortestOxt observed, that the con-
sequeace of its blaring been considered a Pi ivat g
Bill had been thar, the,object of it bad' not been
sutlicientfy known, nor had it undergone thatcoo-
siderittion which its importance demaittled;
• Eitil STANI-MI`P seat, that' by leaving out the
clause inaltitig,it a Private Bill, it would become,
to mill intents end purpod, it Public Bill, and the
objection would be obviated. -
Lord HoLeaso meld not agree to this, as the'.
objc-lion still ronained that the Bill had not' gone
through that eoesideraltion which thejtuportkoice-
of the subject deamoded,': he objected to the Bill
upon this ground, that there had not been.* Milli.
cient consideration ; the real question Was, not
whether the Coroners were sufficiently routine*.
rated, but whether, from the want of an adequate
remuneration, the office of Cut.one!, which he
agreed was of great importaiice, wits not properly
executed. He,: therefore, thought that the subject
ought-to be postponed till 'auother Session.
The Earl of HARROWSY thought it would be
injustice to the Coroners to postpone the question
to another Session on n grointil not,
arise (ram their fault. ,The of Ititving the.
Bill properly distussed might be,r,aiiiiieved -hy
charging the order - for the third readiroi, and
\hen referring it to a Coinmittee of the whple
Hottse.
Earl' FITZWILLI Obireted to 11419 COOt's as-
still not getting rid or:.the objection, that the Bill
had gone through intin'opi:rly uss us Private
