traneoes matter, totally irrelevant to the fubjeft ire
debate, that he (hoold reel it onneceffary to %ref-pall:
on the attention of the Houle by endeavouring to
follow his Lerdlitip over fo extenfive a field. The
Letter written by the Learned Lord to the Sheriff of
Banff, was the principal ground of enquiry; and tbe •
firtt fentence uttered bT the Learned Lord in jollifi-
cation of this Letter, in his mind, inßead of pallia-
ting, exaggerated the mifchief; for the Learned Lord,
after acknowledging that Morifon bait applied to him
by his agent, reprrfenting the cruelty of fuch a letters
and the ruinous injury it would do to hit diarefler,
preferring himfelf to be a loyal etas, and entreating
foot reparation, by a written acknowledgment that
the letter was-written under a mifinformation ; yet
the Learned Lord avowed, that %Read of racers,
he had told the agent, that Morifon malt futnnit to
the injury and defamation, without any redrefs or
reparation. The condor% of Morifon towards his
fervent, in with holding his wages, was fuel at cer-
tainly could not be vindicated ; but it was not the
mircostderft of Merit= to his fervent, but the ono-.
dna of the Lord Advocate of Scotland, is his ofielel
capacity, that was the object of invelligation. and
whether that conduct can be julified upon any rea-
fonaide groin nds He owned. hoverer. that from
the elaborate like& of the Lesined Lordlintrelf, he
could learn nothing like Inftificarion; and if men
were to be Iliginatized with the imputation of diFi
loyalty and treafon, merely for difcliarging infolent
and refraelory Caveats, he knew of only one remedy
for the evil, and that was, to engage no fervants.—*
Rut if a fervent. the moment he puts a volunteer's
uniform on his back, was to confider the authority
of his mailer at an end, the volunteer fyltem, inilead
of being an advantage, would be a nuifance to the
country. The Learned Lord Paid. he did not mean

ther aggravated than palliated the ground of accufa

The ATTORNEY GENERAL raid, it required
nothing more than the flatemeut of the Learned Lord
Advocate to be convinced of the objet he had in
view. The queftion was to be confidered under two
tints of view, namely, whether the (objet was of
ihEc
extent as a private grievance, or an at of
rob& enormity, to jonify the interference of Parlia-
ment t The effeft on the individual had been moll
relied on ; but in that refped he could not confider
it of fuch magnitude as to call upon Parliament to
interfere. If it was a cafe in which the ',arty injured
could have no hope of redrefs from the laws cat that
part of the country where the injury was inflided,
then the Hoare would be properly called upon. He
did not approve of the exprenions in the Lord Advo-
cates letter ; but if they had the efet of a libel on
the chaster of Mr. Morifon, redrefs might be olt-
mined by a perfonal Reim. He could eafdy perceive
why Morifon preferred applying to Parliament, r411.-i
theft than to one of the ordinary Courts of Jußice.
No doubt he was aware that a Jury would confider
the provocation his moduli had given, and would
on that account award him but trifling damage* ; if,
on the contrary. it was a cafe that merited large da-
mages, Morifon had the means of redreffing himfelf.
He argued, that the Hook could not refufe to grant
an indemnity to an Officer of State, who fhould. in
die event of invafion, apprehend a perfon whole loy•
shy he had realms to fufped. With refpea to the
threat of deßroying Mr Morifon's property on the
landing of the French, the Aft of Parliament ex-
cluded from compenfation thofe who did nut do all
that lay in their power to refill the enemy. Under
ell the circumßancessit leaned to him that the Houle
ought not to interfere with a vote of cenfure, far left
by an Addreft for the removal of the Learned Lord.
He did not think there was any ground made out
for an application to Parliament; nothing but direr-
feftion could hive induced Morifon to difinifs his fer-
vent for attending an infpedion of his corps, and
Each reafonahle ground of fufpicion 'lifting in the
breaß of the Learned Lord. he was perfedly jußia-
able in aping as he had done; and therefore he
thought the queftion would be bell difpofed of by
proceeding to the order, of the day. He concluded
by moving the other orders.
Mr. GREY obferved, that if any thing could add
to the seep regret of his Honourable Friend who
made the motion, it would be the mode of defence
adopted by the Learned Gentleman, on whole con-
dud to much of the pure adminißratton of juftice de-
pended. He would not follow the Lord Advocate
through the hiltory of all the ads of power com-
mitted by his predecerfors in office, but he could not
avoid obferving, that in every inflance they had been
nitified by the neceffity of the cafe. He dreaded
left fuch aas as there C.-mold damp that fpitit
which urged the pe-ple to arm themlclves. He
dwelt upon the injury Mr. Morifon mutt neceffitrily
&Rain by fuch a denunciation as that of the Lord
Advocate, and contended, that it was the Judy of
the Houle to watch over eh: conduft of high officers.
and take care their public procet.dings were fouoded
on principles of jollice. lle trolled the time was fir
dillant, when a perfon doing what he had a right to
do would espole him to the forpicion of being &fal-
-1 felled. He regrt.ted the nnellion had not been fairly
met. Thinking the purity of the adminiitration of
the jußice of the country depended on the adoption
of the original motion, he fhould give it his *flint.
Mr. DALLAS confidered that thesquellion rela-
tive to the conduit of tb.: Lord Advocate, led the
Houle 1i.71 to confider whether that conduct was
illegal ; neat, whether it was oppreffive ; and laßly,
whether it was con trarr to his duty as a great officer?

puted, Gentlemen. in bringing before the Houle of

Aftuateds as he evidently appeared to have been, by
a zeal for his country, the Noble-Lord was now se-
cured of having committed an offence, when no ma-
titre whatever, of an improper or unjuftifiable nature,
could be alledged againll him. As to the fupperfed
oppreffions, he mull thy that he could never agree
to the idea that Morifon s condo& had nothing to do
with the affair. He would put it to the candour and
the honour of the Houfe whether this could be for a
moment admitted ? Was it not his conduit that oc-
cafioned thofe fufpicions which &Elated the letter of

fell appeared to sell only upon two grounds g irk
that of the flan of the country; and, feconilrifehwel

He believed be bad suede a cared datenicot wheel
he obferved, that the (Late of defence in the counts",
WAS not. at that time, adequate to the fuppofed dan-
ger. He had listed the abfertee of regular forces.
and the devadation, if he might call it fo, of the
greater part of the Militia, which left the northern
parts cf Scotland almoft bare of the means of de-
fence. But did Morifon, io this ant, really difcou-
rage and keep back the Volunteers from appearing
to ferve their country? Had any pofitive inflance
of the kind been proved by any of his countrymen,
and tome of them di.' not want boldnefs ? He bad
allowed this man for (evertl months to attend his vo-
lunteer duty; but a particular occafion occurred,
when he required his fervices for a different purpofe,
and for this he was to be fliginstized, handled, and
punifhed, in the mart fevere and appreffive manner.
But which indeed was it that depreffed the fpirit of
the volunteers ? certainly any thing which wan to
impair the affection, zeal, and attachment of the
people by unneceffary rigour. and ftretches of power.
He need not appeal to the inhabitants of this country
who knew In well bow to eliimate the avoidance of
the appearance of oppregion and harfhnefs on Inch
occafions; for the promotion of fuch great objeas,
which were moll likely. by tech condom as that of the
Lord Advocate, to be frultrated. The Noble Lord
had appeared to think that the whole falvation of
the country depended upon him, and therefore he
(boob! have endeavoured to promote it by the fillet
and *Weft means. As hi th. equivocal and univetfal
nature of his office, as he had deferibed it, and the
powers of other officers who teemed to be within his
inquiation, he mutt beg lave to doubt the flatement.
He hated himfelf to be invelled with all the authority
of feveral ancient abrogated offices now combined in
MS own perlon, exeltifirely of his legal functions. If
he and his minifters of grace really and conftitution-
ally poffefs fuch an commons extent of power, he
()could be loth indeed to be the inhabitant of that coun-
try with which he was proved to be connected, and
&mild, molt probably, be found among the number
of thefe emigrants whom the noble Lord would be de-
firnus of flopping, according to the datements lie had
given the Honk. He really felt himfelf warm from
the aggravations contained in the defence that had
been let up ; and for no retfon more than for what

It was a queition of a great public wrong. That

lic Officer. He could not but defpife the argument
in favour of going for damages to the Court. in loch

and lafily, there was the unfitnefs of placing power in
the hands of a man who fo mifufed it as the Noble
Lord had been deferibed to do, and particularly as he
had defcribed it himfelf too. There was a queftion of

ever a member of that fociety ? It he had been to it
would certainly have been Rated. and it was rather
a proof of his loyalty that, in fuck a neighbourhood,
. and when his tandlord was fAid to be at the head of
that fociety, he himfelf flood unimpeached. His
crime then was, that he dirmilfed his fervant for pre-
curing his attendance at inlpetlion to what was of
greater importance to his matter. The Volunteer
Syltem had for twelve months been a fubjell of
diftuffion, and yet the fituation between meter and
fervant was fuffered to remain as it was before.
In Tome cafes he would difmifs his fervant for
going to be inheaed as a Volunteer, inked of
obeying his orders; and whether they chore to avow
it or not, he believed there were very few in the
Houle who would not do the fame.—.( A loud cry
of Hear! Hear!) But the Lord Advocate told
the Houfe, that if Mr. Motiron found himfelf ag-
grieved he might bring his action. What ! againft
the Lord Advocate, who, when be wanted to thew
the authority with which he was invefted, raid, that
he reprefented the Lord Chancellor, the Brig Seal,
the Privy Council, and, in fitort, that he was Any
theca; but when he came to exculpation, his language
was--;" Oh I lam nobody. Let him bring his bet-
ters,and I am nothing ; am as amenable to thelaws as
the mot ample individual." He begged the ?lode
to confider feribufly the nature of this proceeding, and
the. nature of the power which the Advocate thought
himfelf entitled to exereire. He held up Morifon to
the "contempt and (corn of all the refpeaable men in
the county, who ought to enter into a refolution to
have no communication or dealings with him."—
What, by this excommunication, did he aim at lets
than the total ruin and deftruaiun of the man and
his family The Learned Lord has retied much of
his defence upon his general chargle r. He fays, ap.
ply to the Commander in Chief, he has known me for
fix months, and will give a favourable report of me."
Sir, there is no man in the country who would pay
more retpea and deference to any thing the: may be
advanced by that Noble Lord, than I should, but on
qualms of personal reputation, the lets that gene-
ral tharatffer is referred to the better. We are told
lay the &Untie of the Learned Lord that he is a warm
man, that thofe were hot words; why, Sir, that is I
'the very tearon I with to put it out of his power, or
out of any other man's power to praltice any abaft
Of fuch formidable authority in future. Scotland
may again be in danger, and other Morifons may be
expofed to flmilar treatment. The Learned Gentle-
Man (Mr. Dallas) who fpoke from an oppofite bench, I
has objetted to Morifon,that he was not unflained,that
he was not roast be curls, and therefore not entitled to
the interference of a court of law. Now Sir, I will pat
scale Suppofe tome one had raid or written, "Mr.
Fox has done every thing in.his power to dikourage
volunteering ifs: is not a loyal man; he is in the pay of
the French,' and that I had applied to the Court of
King's Bench for an information for a libel. Would the
Court tell me," You, Sir, have been guilty of turning I
off your fervants at various times, becaufe theyentered
into Volunteer Corps, and (hall meet with no tethers
from us." Why, Sir, if that Court could be guilty of
ruche monftrous as of injuftice. they would be Coon in
their proper place expiating their guilt at that bar. As
to fitting up in the month of Oaobcr, and thatching
by night. and all that tralh that has been urged in fa-
vour of this fervant, it is really Sir,un worthy of letious
eonfideration, and this new agricultural regulation
of dcing the work by night inftead of day, will not, I
I believe, much conduce to the improvement of one
hulbandrv. Thole who are acquainted with the Hif-
tory of Scotland, know that the Privy Council in Scot-
I land ufed formerly to int what was called an inter-
Ireausww, which, by prohibiting any intercourfe with a
man, left him in a hate of greater mifery than any
other that could be inflitted on him. But it was at-
Rued, that perhaps this tligma, and this arreft, in cafe
the French landed, was intended for no more than a
menace. Was it, then, nothing to a man, to be
held up to all his countrymen as a friend to their
enemies? Was it nothing that this powerlul Lord
Advocate (hould proclaim his intention to do all
he could to prevent him from receiving compen-
fation for any part of his proper), that may be
dellroyed by the enemy, or the King's troops?—
Surely nothing could be more evident than that filch
a declaration would be a fort of lignal to the King's
troops to deftroy the man's property, and perhaps to
rage, in a conflia with the enemy. to deltroy himfelf
and his family, alto confidering them to be of the
party. Let Gentlemen apply this rearming to them--
felves,and fee whether in England loch condo& would
be ftiffei ed. If it was only intended as a menace,
why was it publicly proclaimed by the Subflitute
Shetiff ? It could not have been done but by the
approbation or direction of the Lord Advocate, or
elle why did he not reprehend the man ? Upon the
whole, he thought the letter of an atrocious tenden-
cy to the -cleat u!tion of a private and unprotetted in-
nocent individual and his family, from what motives
he knew not, and therefore fit for requiring the con-
tooling power of Parliament, on which point he gave
his cordial affent to the original motion, and the
more fo as the Advocate himfelf deprecated being
junified by the previous quettinn. He concluded his
very elnytent ipeech by oblerving, that if the Houle
by any means got rid of the ottginAl queftion, it
would abrogate its paramount duty, which was to
protect the weak againll the ttrong.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECWER re-
gutted that Come of the expreflions in the Lord Ad-
vocate's letter 'tmid have been made life of; but he
did not confider they conflituted futhcient grounds
for degrading a public officer who had long and faith-
fully (creed the country. We conceived the Lend
Advocate junified by the motives which had influenc-
ed him, and therefore entitled to be acquitted of all
blame.

Mr. WHITBREAD replied to the •arinns argu-
ments that had been urged againii the motion. The
many poii.ts which he alluded to in the fpeeches of
other Honourable Members.it is impoffible, at the late
hour of the night at which they were given, for us to
,repeat. Among others, he mentioned the difficulty
which Mr. M. would have to encounter, in the en-
deavour to obtain jullice in a Court of Law; two
years, he lard, might elaitie, and pool. be fpent ip the
fuit before he could have a hearing. His only means
rf redrefs then was by att application to Parlia-
ment, and Purely this was a fufficient cafe for their
couLderatioa ander filch citcumitalaces. A Right

Hoe.Gendetnan (Mr. Pitt) M raid that he was furry
that it bad happened, and that he firmly believed that
the like would not occur again. If this was confeffed
by a Defender of the Learned Lord's cafe, then it
mutt unquettionably be* becoming the dignity and the
jultice of Parliament to give f itch a vote as would
tell the People of Scotland that they had the pro-
tellion of the Legillature oriel the repetition of
fuch atas of oppreinon and injullice in future.
The quellion being loudly called for, the Houfe
divided, when the numbers were—
Ayes, 83—Noes, I 59—Majority againft the origi-
nal motion, 77.—Adjourned at three o'clock.
