the ground that it was of the growth of Spain, which Jalisco be

that all the orders arc repugnant to the law of nations, and that

the undetltandlii which it was feppofed had taken place between
the two powers, repeeling the commerce in gelation.

Mr. Juftice HEATH, and the LORD CHIEF
BARON were of opinion, that svitneffes in filch cafe.

Earl STANHOPE then role, pod expreteett his,
regret that there &mild be loch a difference of opi.

ever. to get at the evidence of witncffes in that fait-
' ation, be fuggefted the propriety of a Bill, by whicb
the whole evidence of fuel a witnees might be ob.
tained, and enafted that the creditor should be pre-
cluded from taking advantage of any anfwers to the
•Interrogatories he lboold give under filch circuit,-
lioness. He read the Bill as part of his (patch, and
the title was immediately afterwards read pro firma
from the woolfatk. .
Lord ELDON did not the to give any oppofition
to a bill, the objea of which was to fa at reft a
queilion, which. after the opinions delivered from
fuch high authorities, mull be attended with filch
confiderable difficulty and uncertainty. The whole 1
of his life bad been devoted to the labours of his
profeilion, and in the long experience the,surcife of
his duties had fopplied. he did not recoiled a tingle
inftance in which be had heard the objedion Rated
by a wieners ee foe a winters, that the effeil of his &n-
-ewer would be that it would render him refponfible i
in a civil fnit. Whatever concurrence he might feel
with a Noble Lord. in the object ()Ellis bill, he was
by no means fatisfied that the form of it would an-
ewer the &dip the Noble Mover intended. The 1
witnefs ought to be refcued from any civil conk-
quences Debi, own evidence, from any quarter what-
ever by which that evidence might be converted to
his difadvantege, Not only the depolitione giziivti 1
the perfnn hinsfelf in court peold be brought
him, but every idle liseautor vim attended might,
render him liable, by giving evidence to the tellinsony,
fn delivered. The matter wield require long and,
attentive deliberation. The perfonel waled* of no

nulled him with Inch abendani mugs of ilikridalion•

The LOPPHAIICELLOft left the Woolfaek.
He felt k his duty to communicate his reutiments on
it fubjefi of fo much cottfequence to the proceeding,
in C:t.e of Law. He had been for (mg pd twenty
yeangged in the duties of a laborious profellon,
and •he was fq employed, he had the opportW. • •
pity a more, eatenfive experience in the Courts, •
than uny other Individeal of hie time. It wu true,
thatin the profelfian diere bad been, and there now
were, men of mtieb mere learning and ability, than
he would even pretest, to, bot'enccels in life often de-
pended more span aceident, and certain phyfical
advantages, than upon the molt brilliant talents and
profound erudition. It was very fierier, that, dar-
ing there twenty-feven years, he had not for a
Jingle day been prevented in his nuclide= on the'
Courts by any indifpolition, or corporeal infirmity.
Within much the greater part otthis period, he had
been honoured by a Own of precedency, and irt,
confequeoce of this privilege, had not only been ell
gaged in every important cattle, but had concluded
caul's' of this defctiption dating' that period in the
Court of King's Beach. Dut with the hiftory of his
profellional life, their Lordihipe had no concern,
otherwife than as it was conneeed with the prefent
enquiry. For this purpofe it was material to de-
clare, that although his experience was eqiial not '
only to any individual Judge on the Bench', but to
all the Judges, with their collective praaice ; yet that
he never knew a tingle objeaion to have been taken
to an interrogatory propofed, becaufe the reply to
it would render the %knees refponfible in a civil foie:
It was true, that in Mr. Peat's book, which had been
frequently cited on the prefent occafion, there was a
note, by which it thould appear, that an objection of
this kind had been taken by the late Chief Jullice
Kenyon ; but notwithilanding his high opinion of the
minute accuracy and great learning of that Reporter,
he thought he had, in this inftanee, been guilty of a
millake on two grounds: ill, becanfe he hirnfelf had
been Counfel in the cattle, and had no recolleftion of
the circumtlance ; idly, becaufe if that note were
correct, Lord Kenyon mull have been guilty of an
obvious contradiction of his own principles and f•n-
tiatents, as theL appeared even on the face of the fame
report. His ordthip was of opinion, that the Bill
now propofed would not effeauallyanfwer the purpofe
intended by the Noble Mover : lie molt heartily con-
curred in the objeft, but moll materially differed
from him on the means of dealing it. Notwitlitlatie-
ing fume difference of opinicin among high au:hc: -
ties, among perfone for whom he had the gieateit
1-veneratiols; yet he plaid not help thinking that the
law ittelf was tmembarrafted from thefe contradi -
' Lions. He confidered it fo far precife, clear, and
perfpicuous, that it was neceffary no new law fhould
' be promulgated; otherwife than in the form of a de-
claratory law, by which it fbotild be announced
what had been tit: law, what was the law, and what
ought to be the tau, and what Mould be the law of
tts land as to this important particular. On thefe
grounds be could nor give his airent to the 13111 now
euggefted; and if no other Noble Lot d, more compe-
tent than himfelf, would undertake the hofineA, he
fbould himfelf move a legillative regu:ation, with the
view to place the (Ignition for ever iii repofe.
