PENITENTIARY 11OUSEP.

Mr. HOLFORD stated, that he rose to move for
leave to bring in a B;11 for the erection of Peniten-
tiary Houses. The object of the Bill was to afford a
reasonable expectation that criminals,. after the term
of their punishment had expired, might no longer
return to their former habits of pr fl gacy, but might
adoi t those of useful industry. The statute of the
19th of the King had, from various causes, never
been carried into effect, though
.highly approved of
by Sir W. Blackstone and by Mr. How trd. By, that
Act three persons had been appointed to fix upon a
proper place, and they were to refer this to the con-
sideration of fourteen persons, the Lord Chancellor,
the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the
twelve Judges. Mr. Howard differed from the others,
and resigned the office in 1781. Three others were
then appointed, among whom was Lord Minto ; but
' the Government of that day having adopted the plan
of sbnding convicts to Botany Bay, withheld their
support. The plan, however, was resumed in 1794,
and a Gentleman undertook for the mtintenence of
10 )0 convicts. By a new Stature all the privileges of
the former were superseded. This v:as the 34th of toe
King, by which a Guva-aor was to he appointed, with
considerable powers. The Act of the 19th of the
King, though Int ntioned as still ex'stirg, had expired
in 1802. This Act had placed the appointment of
-the proper Officers in a Commiree ; the Act of the
31th gave all the power to the Crown. In the Re-
port upon the table, the Committee had preferred the
Act of the 19th, which contained a provision for
shortening the petiod cf Confinement. in proportion
to the good,conduct of the prisoners, and that none
should be allowed to remain in confinement except
the idle and worthless. The i..teaded site was
changed for Tuthill-fields, but a difficulty had occur.
red in mak'ng up the number of seventy-nine
acres, which was the extent regtfred. Of the prac-
ticability of reforming prisoners there could be no
doubt. Twenty years had elapsed since Peniten-
tiary Houses had been erected upon the present prin.
•ciple, and Sir George Paul said that many prisoners
had been reformed. This had been the case at Not-
tingham, and also at Smthwell, awhere many pri-
soners who had been confined in those houses had
afterwards become useful members of society. He
wished to form a separate Penitentiary House for Lein-
;on and the county of Middlesex. His plan did not
go to condemn confinement in the hulks, and trans-
portation, i* certain cases; hut in many cases, a pe-
nitenti.ry house eras preferable either to transporta-
tion or the hulks. The house he proposed to be erected
was to contain 200 male, and the same number of fe-
male convicts, and might be converted altogether into
a penitentiary Loose for males. He meant to throw no
blame upon the keeper of Newgate prison, the evil
arose from the cyst m itself. 1-le trusted the City
would do every thing in their power to prevent the
morals of the prisoners from being corri.pted, and to
I have their wants supplied. Prisoners n t tried nor
condemned, should not be obliged to associate with -
convicts. This, in the case of a femaie, would be
peculiarly hard. How would she feel to be compel.
fed to associate with female convicts? Into what te.

spectable family could she, however clear her inno-
cence, afterwards be admitted. Tke Hon. Member
`concluded with . moving fur leave tO bring in a bill'
'for the erection of a Penitentiary House, for.the
recepticen of male and &Male convicts in Louckin, and
the covey of Middlesex.
Sir W. CURTIS- rose to second tbe Motion, of
illerhich he cordially approved.
Mr. Aldertlian.COMßE stated, that the Corpora-
tion of London had it in contemplation to build a
Penitentiary House in the City.
Sir S. ROMLLLY thought teo much delay had al-
ready taken place on this very important subject. In
1798, a list_of the persons confined in the hulks aid
prisons, had bein presented to the House. He him-
self had formerly called the aleniion of the House to
the subject, and yet two xears had elapsed without
any alteration. The House would do wrong irtley
confined themselves to the Report of 1794, without
taking into the account that of 1-798. Mr. Bentham
had proposed that the prisoners should 'be paid for
their labour, and that the Contractor should take the
. responsibility upon himself'. Mr. Bentham's plan was
attended with many advantages, and particularly the
small expense at which employment might be procured
for the convicts after they should be discharged. He
wished the late Committee h td paid more attention to
some of the suggestions of Mr. Bentham, then gh be-
ing himself on that Committee, he must share also in
the blame. His objection to the present plan %vas,
that the Peni•entiary House was to contain so small
a. number. The present was no experiment. h had
• succeeded in Ireland and America. 'I he expellee
could be no objection, the same expense attended
transportation and cnntinement in the hulks. (Hear.)
Mr. ABERCROMBIE bore testimony to the me-
rits of Mr. Bentham. With respect to the Report of
lest Session, he begged leave to state, as a caution,
That it was a complete exponent of the system of Mr.
Bentham. The persons who acted for the Public
placed so much confidence in Mr. Bentham, that they
'did not think it necessary to enter into a full exposi-
;Lion 'of his plan.—Leave seas given to bring in the Bill.
DROITS- OF ADNIIRALTY.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he greatly lamented that
it should have fallen to his lot to call the attention of
' 'the House te e subject so important .to the Constitua'
tion as this was, which embraced•tio less a que,tion
than whether the -Crown should be enabled to raise
money without coming to the House of Coltimans,
by having these funds at its unrestrained disposal. It
avas well known there were several funds of that de-1
esnongst which were those of the Duchies
of Cornwall and Lancaster, which. when not enjoyed
by. any other individual, were vested in the Crown.
Thus it appeared, that during the minority of the
prinse cf Wales, near £S(X/,000 accrued to -the
Crown. Of the Duchy of Lancaster he should say
nothing, hut go to one of more importance, namely,
'the 41g per Cent. Fund, which, during the last fivo
years; averaged 835,000 ; the fund which this tee af-
forded was not its greatest evil ; this was exceeded
by the manner in which 'it was raised, which con-
'adtoted it a most operessive tax. The next think he
would allude to was, the Scotch Revenue, which did
not amount to less than X 106,060 ; all these ques-
tions, however, would come he!ore the House on
'another occasion ; he should ow advert to that
greaf fund the Deoils of Admiralty. The Honour-
4ble Member then-se:Alt into a tat..?tner,t of the mode;
by which these arose, but said it was easier to state
_ the .sum. to which they amounted than the seteces•
from which they were drawn. Up to July 1810, the
net ;um paid into the hands of the Registrar of the
Admiralty. was £7,310,000, anti he unuctstood, by
payments since, it hid been increased to .CSARX),OOQ,
vnt.l the questi in now was, whether the Crowe, in
addition to its income, was to have the disposal of
this enormous sum without any coreroul—aliether
that was law, or if that etas law whether it was right
it should be so—whether the Crown should have the
power of appropriating these enormous sums to a
mistress, or to a Minister for the pnrpases cf elec-
fons in all parts of the country—if this was to be
law, it was folly ; it was mere mockery, to say that
all supplies were derived from that House—it was
Mockery for-the Crown to come down to that House
to ask sepeties, when, whether granted or refused,
the Crown could commend such turns wdlloat any
controul. That such was law, however, 'he meant
to deny, and I a that pureem he Tilted the opinion
of Lord Chief 'Justice Hale, Lord Coke, and other
great lawyers; and first, he alluded to the case of
wrecks, which formed a considerable portion of the
Dre'ts of Admifaity. Lord Coke says, wrecks are
to he applied to the clearing the sea from pirates—
' and Hale says, the produce of' the sea are to be ap-
plied to tl.p defence and safeguard of the sea. These
opinions, •
aid several othets which he quoted, the
Honourable Member said, all proved' that these pro.
ducts of se rack, treasure t.tx, and other regalia, was,
• in fact net prcpetty of the Ca.wn, but were to be
applied as other Parliamentary grants •were, • and
that the .ame legal cnnstitutional rules were appli-
cable aperopriation as to oilier publit monies.
He won:deo:1:e down to our own times, and stele
the opinion of Sir W. Scott, who says Prize- is the
creature of the Ciowa ; but how did he say it?--to
use h:s t,wa voids, because the Crown may apply
it either to peace or war, a:: May be most bezel-
chi' to the Stare—but the Crown does not hold it as
private property.— ( licar, hear, hcar !) It was
said, that these tegalioc or funds were vested sepa.
• rattly in the Crown, for the support of the Crown
and defence of the country :—but allowing that
they bad beets originally granted f.t that pot-
- pose, y t for more than a century past, Parliament
b. d taken on itself to make grants necessary fai those
parpo.es ;—and,. theiefore, Parliament having re-
- 1 eyed the Crown from all these burdens, had a right
resume those grants which had been made to cn.
ab c the Crewn to bear them. Seireral of ehese
, g axis, which constituted the regalia, had been nliena-
t ..t and abolished ; the purveyance was abolished in
Ittn-of Charles the Second, and, in the reign of
Anne, she, much to her honour, alineated that part
of the regalia, called the tenths and first fruits, and
appropriated them to a most meritorious purpose.
At different times since, Parliament has interfered in
t';ese afledged rights of the Crown ; he should only
aaude t .-one instance, and to that, because it alluded
particularly to the getestioin of prize, this was the Act
: of the 35:h of the 'Xing, called the Dutch Corn-
' eilssioners• Act, which appointed Commissioners for
the sale of Dutch prizes, and directed the preceeds

to be pair:Linn-a the Bank of England, there te.remain,
indeed, fey the benefit of the Crown.. (Hear, hear,
frees the Ministerial Bendul). • In the Devonshire
case, it was laid down iy all the Judges,. that %he
treasure of.the King, being the sinews cewnsr
comfort of the realm, could not be disposed ofliut by
grants under the Great Seal, and that all attempts to
assign it, bj 'wirrants under the Sign Manual, were
absolutely illegal. The Honourable Member then
quoted the opinion of Lord Clarendon on the subject
of Droits cf Admiralty in the reign of Charles the
Second; when the King having made a grant of the
Droits (by sign manual) to Lord Shaftesbury, Lord
Clarendon went to the King, and told his Majesty he
feared he had been surprised into this grant, that he
was of opinion such grants were contrary to the rights
o otlier•per sons, who had rights as well as the Crown.
This was the language of Lord Clarendon ; this was
his opinion of all revenue so attached to the Crown,
and that all manner of danger would arise from the
Crown possessing the power cf making rants with-
out all the regular constitutional checks. He bad now
stated the reasons which existed, in -his opinioNagainst
the Droits of Admiralty remaining any longer at the
disposal of the Crown ; and only stated the mode in
which they ought to be applied. The origin of the
fund was disgraceful. It induced the Crown to go to
war without that honourable, frank, and 'generous
avowal, which, ie former times, had always preceded
hostilities by this country. Similar practices, he was
sorry to say, were pursued in modern times, although I
the Mctives might have beat different.—He did not'
think the Copenhagen Expedition, ill-fatec and un-
just as it was, had been undertaken with any view
to plunder; but our attack upon the ships of Spain,
previous to any Declaration of War, nes a disgrace
to the character of the nation, and subjected our Go-
vernment to this . imputation— that it made war for
the sake of plunder ; 'that the King made war, not
for the good of his people, but fur his own aggran.
disement, and the gratification of avarice. Should
there be any Minion of the Crown, whose vices were
catalogued and chronicled in the minds of the people,
I such a man, instead of punishment, might be re-
warded by the Crown—he might be penroned, not
, out of the Consolidated Fund, but out of Droits of
Admiralty—out of the plunder, which the Crown,
without the consent of the people, might take front,
unoffending nations—(hear, hear.) The Learned
Gentleman next entered into the debt of the Civil
List, which; after three millions applied towards it
by ParliaMent, and the proceeds of the Duchy of
Cornwall, suffered a still greater deficiency el
re7GO,OOO, 'which had been paid, unknown to Parlia-
ment, out of the Droits of Admiralty. There was
another circumstance which he must notice : Previous
to 1800, it appeared, that considerable purchases had
been made in land for the C: own ; and it was stated
in the preamble of an Act, brought in by-Mr. Pitt,
that these purchases were IT ade out of the private
purse of the King. And this Act at the same time,
in opposition to the Act cf Anne, declared, that
these lands should be the private property, and at
the disposal cf the King ; although by the Act of
Anne, all lands belonging to the King, should vest
in, and be unalienable, from the Crown. He noticed
these facts, because he wished to support the dignity
(f the Crown, by giving to the Crown that Constitu-
tional revenue which consisted of a Parliamentary
stipend : and he would never consent to have the
Crown receive revenues from so many irregular
sources, which would have the effect of throwing too
Igloat revenue into the hands ot one S.afereign, and
too little into the hands of another.—lt was from such
e fund as he was now speaking of, that abuses cf t: lis
kind exited. He strongly condemned the grant ut
re21,0:;0 to Sir Home Popham ;`and he thought that
auy officer, who made a capture should, if it was an
unjust capture, be condemned in costs. But as M. -
ters now stand, a most dangerous and unconstitutio-
nal fund might be *peened from this most corrupt
source ; and thus the rapacity cif the worst Conn &-
vourite might be armed with frightful powers.—
Might not such a man at this time, by bringing about
a riiptute with America, bring three or four millions
of property-into theltands the Crown and the Mi-
nisters ? See then what the dreadful consequences
must be of suffering such a power as this to exist. in
thd country. He concluded by-moving 14 Resolution
to the following effect ; •
a That the grant of money for any public purpose, othervi.e
than by a yot« of the Commons H ,use of Parliament, syas tm-
comtitutional and ,:angerous: that it was the du y of the House
of Commons to investigate all grants Sat might happen to be
made is any other w4y : that property from cap:pres and seizures
of vessels belonging to nations with whom we were not at war
at the time of such captures, had arisen to stick ap Imam der.
ing the present war, as to call for the serious attention of puha-
meet : that since the commencement of the war,se sups 'srncun.
tins to £7,344,000, arising front sources of this kind, had b•itst
received by Government, and was entirely at the disposal of G 9.
vernment, without any controul on the part of Parliament ial.
though Zarb/argent had paid all the debts of the Civtl List to
which that suns m'ght be su?posed to be applicable t and that Ike
House would mks the nr. t effectual means to inquire into the
manner In which such sums were disposed of, in order Mat the
same might be applied to ti.e arlendour and dignity of the Crown."
' Mr. BRAND seconded the motion, arid contended
that the application of public money should never be
entrusted to any Minister of the Crown ; that Parlia-
ment ought to have a controul over all public money;
send if such controul was not now exercised, the House
of Commons ought not to vote one shilling towards
the arrangements that were making with respect to
the Royal Establishment. At this time, when taxes
were so rigorously exacted from the people, it was of
the utmost importance•that the application f the fund
in question should be enquired into.
Mr. COURTNEY admitted that the origin of this
fund had been attended with abuses, but none such
now existed. In the Copephaeen captures there were
no•Droits at all; and the proceeds df the capture of
the Spanish frigates were applied to the relief of cer-
tain merchants: whose eroperty in Spain had been
cOnfiscated, yet still it was useful that a fund of this
kind should exist, and that it•should be applied to the
wants ( f the Crown. • There always had been, and
there ought to be, an uncertain fund applicable to the
Civil list. He would not say that this was the best
fund ; but until a better one was provided, he would
nofiuffer this to be done' away. The King ought not
to be dependent on Parliament, because such a thing
would endanger the security of the Crown, and even
the -independence -of Parliament, 'whose Members
would by such power have rhe-meitns nfinakids court

to the Chown, and genera: corrUptian would be the
Conseilfiance.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL called the atten-
tion of the House to the several Acts by whiCh reve-
nues were settled upon the Soyereign, and contended,
that none of these Acts did eyer touch the revenue
arisg from Droits of`Admkalty, which alWays be-
lon to the Crown; and therefore the question was,
whether this revenue ought now to be taken from his
Majesty. Unless it codid be shewn that the property
in question had been applied to corrupt pitrposbs, he
_maintained that Parliament should not interfere with
that which his Majesty had an undoubted right to,
and which was to make up the deficiencies'of his Civil
I List. As well might the House pass a vote to take
from his Majesty any other part of his revenue. On
this ground alone, he would oppose the motion.
Captain HERBERT contended, that Parliament
had a right to interfere in the distribution and appro-
lriation of those proceeds ; aed that they did not be.
ong exclusively *to the Crown. He denied that it
was the wish of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Brougham)
to introduce any alteration of the law, he only wished
to correct an error which had crept into it.
Mr. G. ROSE considered that as it had been al-
lowed take a distinct right in the Crown, they should
have sheen in what way it had been abused before
they called on the House to deprive the Crown of it.
The first acquaintance he had with Lord Nelson was
his Lordship calling on him to say, that in the West
Indies he had captored a grcatmany vessels, in all'
of which be was threatened with actions, which would
eventually ruin him. He (Mr. Rose) went over the
cases with Captain Nelson; and told him he had done
his duty ; and that he should feel itto be his duty to
make a strong representation in order that he might
be indemnified against the expences of those actions.
Mr. STEPHEN thought that this fund, although
in strict law the property of the Crown, ought to be
applied to the public seiv ice ; and so far he agreed
with the Honrurable Gentleman who spoke last. He
maintained, however, that the Crown had the sole
right to all Droits; and if the wing had a right to
the property when captured, had he not a right to
the beneficial use of it ? At the time when Mr. Justice
Blackstone published the last edition of his Com-
mentaries, he who was so strict a guardian of the
public mcnies as well as liberties, when it was pro-
posed to increase the Civil List Revenues, called
upon every person in the country to consider how
much the Royal expenditure had at that time in-
creased. At ptcsen:, the gross proceeds of the Droits
of Admiralty are reduced, by necessary dis'burse-
ments, to nearly one moiety. 'Flip Learned Gentle-
man then enumerated the different items of these
disbursements, including large sums paid to the cap-
tors of certain vessels, the salaries of the principal
Crown Officers, &c. The country would have had
many distinguished Officers ss ho.have fought its bat-
tles, and cnntributed to its glory and strength, lying
in prison, for debts which they could not have paid,
in consequence of actions on captures which might
have been given against them, bad it not been for this
wholesome power vested in the Crown, which enabled
it to relieve them. He concluded by declaring, that,
in bis opinion, there was nothing in Law or the Con-
stitution which did not entitle the Crown te hold, as
formerly, this branch of its particular revenue.
Mr.-BROUGHAM explained.
-Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, that it was not

merely the duty of Parliament to link into the abuses
which may have already crept into these funds, but
also, what abuses may hereafter creep into them ;
and into m hose hands those fends may yet fall.—
Upon those grouttds he would vote for the motion of
116 Hon. Friend (Mr, Brougham).
Mr. W. SMI'l Li wished to kniax what the Home
would have thought, if, in 1793, it had been proposed
to grant 81.00,000 to be pl iced in perpetuity under
the sole controul of the Clown
- The CHANCELLOR'of the EXCHEQUER
said, that was a most distinctly different question, and
he did not know how it applied to the subject before
the House. Whenever any complaint had been made
as to the applicition of these f unds, he had always de-
sited that the accounts of their appropriation should
be laid betote the House, that either the calumny
might be refuted, or the misapplication of them be
placed on those who had so misapplied them. As to
the legality of these funds lacing vested in the Crown,
it was evident Item the Crown having always op-
prop: iated them in the same way af any of the
branches of the Civil List. It was impossible, he said,.
to find one minion of Minitters who had received one
hundred pounds out of these lunds.—Was it fair then
ler the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Brougham) to inflame
the public mind by assertions which he could not sub-
stantiate ? •
S;r- FRANCIS BURDETT thought the Right
Honourable Geetleman, although he had touchei on
some, of the collateral points of the eeestion, had left
out every material consideration. He had grged the
inconsistency of supposing that Government would
go to war from unjust considerations, merely for the
sake of the Proits to the Crown. The astonishing fact,
however, was well known, that there have been Minis-
, ters of the country who have actually plunged the
country into war from such unjust coriJerat.ons. A
part
great of the Right Hon. Gentleman's spzech was
directed to the qualities and qualifications if the
Right Honourable Gentleman who brought fcti ward
the Motion, and to the conduct of a former Adm.ni-
stratiOn • but that had nothing to do with the argu-
ment, iNhat the liberty Gf the subject called for was
what they ought to consider. In the present day,
Parliament was really so ornamented with Gentle-
men of the Learned Profession, that arguments were
now listened to, that would, at a period not beyond
his ezperienceof the House, have been received rather
coldly. It was in the nature of man to desire power,-
and nothing could be more constitutional than to
watch with an eye of jealousy over every means of re-
venue which were not under the controul of Parliament.
—lt was a fact, that a King might a; King be now
poorq with his Civil List in debt, yet with private
property to
_a very considerable amount. He was
glad
e to find that some doctrines, which had formerly
very coolly maintained in that House, were now
relinquished by those who opposed the present ques-
,tion. He remembered to have heard it gravely main-
tained by a Judge Advocate, that the Droits of Ad-
miralty were as touch the private property of the
King as any private gentleman was entitled to his
fprtune, He really cools} not see, though, the wing
might have right to this property de jure come: that

he,could hold any property on any other tennis the;
for the benefit of the public. He bad no right to pat
money into hisnown pocket. jt was impossible to say
