Mr. ELLICE was of the same opinion with the Hoo.l
Gentleuian. that the circulation was never in a leas
satisfaltory state; and that was mainly owing to the
.411ermission given to country bankers to issue 11. andll.
bank notes. In the country they formed exclusively ,
the currency in circulation. In the case elf a run upon
the Bask dr
aillar to what bad taken place in 1797, be hardly saw ia
bow the waist meet the demand.
Sit. 3. MITH said, that a great part of the circu-
lation in the country was in 51. notes, for the most part
payable in London. Tie Dank of EnglAnd were in the
habit of 'remitting great quantities , f gold to the coun•
try ; and in the county of Lancaster the circulation *as
almost wholly metallic. He had no doubt while" our
commerce continued what it now is. that we should
have specie always in abundance: The present was,
he believed, a solitary instance; and he deprecated the
remarks that had been made by some of his lion. Friends. He
did not believe that three bankers in the whole kingdom would
refuse gold for their notes. The least profitable mode of circula-
tion for a country banker was that of 1/. notes. His trusted the
law would be allowed to remain as.it was, which was what it had
been before 1797. ,
Mr. ILL LI C E and Lord FOLKESTONE explained.
Mr. ABERCItOMBY thought the question well de-
sewed the prompt consideration of Government. If
payment in gold could only be obtdined by an action at
late, the collsevences might be very inconvenient to
the public, as many would decline to have recourse to
that mode of redress. The question for the House was,
did the law stand as it was horn 1797 to 1816 ? If the
clause protecting the pubic was omitted in the Act of
1822, the public should have t' e same advantage as
they had in the former period, of obtaining payment in cash by a
summary process, without the necessity of an action at law.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the /lolls? h.& been
drawn into a debate on a most delicate subject, without
anyprevious notice and forwhich he saw no netessity.The
Bristol flanker himself now admitted that be was in the wrong,
and would do so no more. As that was the ease, he saw no need

for the interference of the House. ft was net clear to him that the
construction put upon the law, was the true one. He bad great
doubts of the propriety of the House taking any steps in it.
Mr. A BE ltC ROM BY wished to know if the Right Honourable
Secretary thought payment in gold could be enforced by a sum-
snail process?
blr. Secretary PEEL was not prepared to give any opinion on
the subject.
Mr. MA BERL"! thought the Petition should not be received.
Mr. S cretary CANNING said, that there was not
a shadow of doubt but that by the law as it now
stood, every Country Bank was as liable, upon demand,
to pay its one pound notes in gold, as the Bank of Eng-
land was to pay its notes of any other amount.
Any attempt to legislate upon the subject, would be,
in his opinion, to create doubts which did not exist.—
If the HonouraLle and Learned Gentleman asked him
by what law a Country Barker was compelled to
pay his £1 notes in gold ? fie should say, by the ge-
neral law -which made gold the only legal tender.—
They had returned as far as they could to the state
from which they departed in 1797. But far some rea-
:en or other, whether good or bad, he was unable to
say, as he was not a competent judge, but it had
been d: emrd expedient to continue the circulation
of country one pound notes. It was not, however,
necessary to keep up the laws in consequence
of and the whole machinery of the suspen-
sion was mine. The security was the same as
for ail ot; er debt, and the banker could pay in gold
alorte s hell called upon for payment. He thought the
Thnourible Memb-rs for Norwich and C ventry would
agree with him in this elew,and that What they bad said only arose
front a whir to go back to the old •opinions which they main-
tained five years ago. The Honourable Membrr for Coventry
seemed to thick that some great calamity was going to happen, by •
which the country was to be placed in a situation of difficulty. He
could not see the least probability of the Honourable Member's
fears being realised, and he was sure that nothing would be so likely
to bring them to pass as a departure from a metallic currency.
M. BARING considered that the restoration of
somothibg like the summary process in the case of one
pound notes would be advantageous. He thought it
necessary to a sound and healthy state of the currency;
that the country should be more fully saturated with
gold than at present, before it would admit of those
contractions and expansions which the operations of the
State might require. If it should become necessary that
vie employed four or five milhons abroad, the coffers
of the Bank, and the circulation of the Metropolii alone,
could not bear that such a sum should be abstracted
• without injury to the common %elation: carried on by
the cieculating medium. The issue of country notes
might be a convenience in some respects, but a general
Aiiic currency would be the most wholesome system
for th.e.country. With regard to what had been said
about former opinions, and propo,itions for-an adjust-
ment of contracts, he thought:there was nothing in the
measures Of suspension and resumption which could be
a cause of congratulation to any one concerned in them.
Ile thought they were right in refusing all such pro.
posals for adjustment, but the violent elects of those changes
brought ruin upon a large proportion of the country.
Mr. HUSKISSON was ready to admit, with his
Honourable Friend, that great injustice had been done
ti, individuals by the .resumption of cash payments,
after the changes in property which had been pre-
viously obtained. The Right Honourable Gentleman
contended that there was already a sufficient security
in thelaer for tie payment of piper currency in gold.
It they were to take any other measures, they could not
be limited to one pr and notes alone, but must extend
to five pound, and notes of all other value, as well as
to every other species of paper money. In the Ccunty
of Lancaster there- were no issues of paper under five
P* winds .but the business was constantly transacted be-
tweetintan and man, by means of b.lls of exchange,
fw which there was no other security than the general
law, which compelled a man to pay his debts. In
Scotland the issuing, of one pound notes had always been
in practice, with no other security. The only way,
therefore, in which the case could be reached, was
by changing the whole of their law for the recovery of
small debts. MI be wished to be understood was this, and he
wished it to be known in every part of the kingdom, that no par-
Xies, whether Company or Corporation, carrying on the business of
bankers, could issue notes which they were not liable to pay at
sight, in the cola of the realm.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW protested against any summary process

COMMATION O W 011411211 BILL
Mr. WALLACE moved the order of the day fOr the
House resolving itself into a Committee of the whole
House on the Combination of Workmen Bill. The
Right Hon. Gentleman said he. would, in moving
" that the SpeAker do now leave the Chair," briefly
state the ground on which the present measure was
founded. The statement made on a former night by
a Eight Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Huskisson), though
it had not been substantiated in all its particulars by the
evidence, yet was so far borne out, as to the general
extent and nature of the combinations that existed
throughout the country, and the effect of those com-
binations, that it was quite clear, from what had come
to light, that some further intervention of Parliament
was absolutely necessary. It appe 'red to him and to
others, that the only practical view that could be taken
of :this subject was to examine the actual state of those
combinations, to see if any alterat;on had taken place
its the conduct of the patties, in consequence f the re-
peal of those laws, which it was confidently asserted had
given rise to the combinations that formerly existed—
and also to inquire whether the character of those
combinations was in any degree softened or mitigated ?
All those points were duly considered, and it did. ap-
pear that the character of those combinations was in
some degree altered—that they were greater in extent,
but more open in their prrceedings, than they used
to be. No less than thirteen cases of absolute combi-
nation were stared to the Committee, and r f these
seven had grown up since the sitting of the Committee.
With respect to the conaitutional character of those
combinations. they *A found it much the same as
heretofore. The patties met regularly and constantly.
with Presidents, Secretaries, and Committees. They
attempted to take from the masters all resources, by
restrainiog them from taking apprentices. They were
all under the superintendence of Committees,whichCom-
minces appealed to be composed of leading members in
the trade, over the west body of which they presided.
The manner in which they issued their orders, and the
promptitude with which those orders were obeyed,
sufficiently shewed their influence. He knew that
ire
the estimation of many Gentlemen, those combinations
were considered as light and unimportant. -He con-
fessed that he was of a different opinion. He viewed
the subject as one of very great importance. He knew
it had been said, that a good deal of difference might
be traced between meetings which took place about a
round table and about a long table. There was more
equality at the round—individuals could more readily
deliver their opinions; but at the long table, those who
were at the upper end, who acted as directors, could
contrive to have their projects carried without much
interference from those at the lower end. He believed
this was the case in those combination meetings where
the measures were generally catried by the worst and
most violent chat actors. lc appeared that the interven-
tion of journeymen had for its object to settle when
they -would work, whom the master should employ,
what they should -receive, how many, if any appre;:-
tices, should be allowed ;—in short, to take all power
out of the hands of the master. Beyond this, they had,
in some eases, pointed out men to be assassinated. -a
cireumseanet which ought not 'to map':
of Gentlemen. He declareJ that •he had not vier—
.stated the case : he had et:Wined-himself to the evidence.
In Ireland, 'it was. stated; 70 or 80 persons had been
wounded. Of these SO or 40 had their skulls fractured
and two had been actually murdered, in the open day,
without the possibility of bring'ng the murderers to jus-
tice. In Scotland, a 'still more organized system pve-
'railed, and he begged leave to call the attention of the
House to the oath which was said to be taken by the
persons engaged in Scotland in those combinations. It
had been produced before the Committee by a respect-
able manufacturer, and ran thus :—" I A. B. do volun-
tarily swear in the awful presence of Atm IGHTYGOD, and
before these witnesses, that I will execute as far in me
lies, every task or injunction which the majority of my
society may impose on me, whether it be theassassina-
tion of oppressive and tyrannical masters, or the demo-
lition of shops deemed incorrigible; and I will also
cheerfully contribute to the support of my fellow-
workmen, who may have left their employment in con-
seqtience of any reduction of wages. And Ido farther
swear nevet td divulge the form of this obligation, unless
duly authorised to divulge it by the proper authority."
Now, supposing this to be a real obligation(Hear,
hear, from Mr. Hione)—what must be the state of so-
ciety amongst those who would not scruple to subscribe
it? Was it_ fit that such 'a state of things should be
suffered to remain? Could anything be more dread-
ful than a combination in which vast numbers of persons
were bound together by such a tie? Thellon.Gentleman
then proceeded to detail the evidence of John Kean,
an artisan of Glasgow, who, is his confession, declared
that the objkct of the workmen in their combinations
was to keep up their wages. That there were two Com-
mittee-min in the General Association at Glasgow,
whose duty it was to report to the Select Comnottee ;
and that these Committee-men were changed every two
months. He proceeded' to describothe organisation of
these Committees, and stated, that it appeared by the
same confession that it had been resolved to take the
lives of four of the workmen, Wright. Dunlop, Lindsay,
and Ewens, as soon as possible. This Committee, it
appeared, met every Saturday night between nine and
ten o'clock. The confession to which the Honourable
Member now alluded, had been made by a man who
had been convicted of shooting a workman of the name
of G aham, who had gone contrary to the wishes of the
Committee. He felt that it was unnecessary for him to
dwell upon this case, because the atrocity of it must
strike every one, and the opinion olevery Honourable
Gentleman must be, as his was, that a state of things in
which such crimes could be perpetrated ought to be put
a stop to without delay. He believed that she same
motives were common to all the Committees, and that
they all pursued the same course. The evil which re-
suited' from it was, perhaps, greater than could be cal-
culated at the, first sight. The most innocent persons
might be led, step by step, to become participators
_ _ - .

'recent instep's. All these various ets#4lo had, Wee?
been lately practised. The shipwrights in the neigh.
bourbood of London had qlietly left their work, and
withdrawn from the employment of eertain masters.—
The shipwrights of Bristol had gone a little farther, and
had resorted to threats. The coopers of Landon had
made all the workmen who would not obey the rules
they laid down, as they called it, uncomfortable. It
was difficult to say exactly what they meant by " un-
comfortable;'' but its effects were easily understood.—
The consequence was, that all the woe kmen who had been
made uncomfortable became members of the association.
The weavers of York.hire had proceeded as far as threats,
and the workmen in Scotland had gone greater lengths.
An ins'ance occurred a few days ago,

dangerous to themselves; and that they should not, as
they did now, think it was rneritori ,us to enter into
combinations against their masters. He was no Iriend
to the principle of the laws which had been repealed ;
he did not with to see them re-enacted, but he wished
that the common law as it had stood befote should be
again brought into force. This, he believed, would be
quite suffic.ent fur the purpose, and he expected that in
saying this he spoke the general opinion of the House.
By that law sufficient powers were given to the work-
men for the preservation of their own interests ; they
were permitted to meet for the purpose of obtaining
an increase of their wages ; but if' they went bey and
this, and attempted to mix up any intimidation of
others in their scheme, it was going too far. The
object of the present all was to ke p up this ds-
tixcti n, and everything beside was lett to the opera-
ti.m of the common law. He thought the Bill of last
year went too far, because it gave the men an oppor-
tunity of controlling their masters in their trade, and
opened to them the power of exercising a compulsion
which was tri just and impolitic. The attachment
which some workmen had to their masters was very
strong; their affection to their fannies mu4t of course
be mach stronger ; and yet the influence which tl-er
societies exercised over ditto was found to be stronger
than either, and induced the workman in many in
stances to neglect both, and in preference to obey
the orders of the societies. The principle of the Bill
now before the House was to make all associations ille-
gal, excepting those for the purpose of fettling such
amount of wages as would be a lair-remuneration to
the workmen. He knew it had been objected that this
was not enough ; but he thought it was safer and bet-
ter to point out the description of association which
was legal, than to specify all a hich were illegal, in
doing which there was great danger, either in put-
ting in too much ur leaving out something which
might he necessary. The Bill of last year was the
samein principle as this, but it_went a little fur•
ther, and this, he apprehended, was the cause
of the i-convenience now universally felt.--The
present Bill gave a summary jurisdiction to Ma-
gistrate, ; it did away with the necessity of a pre-
vou..information, and pe mitred a conviction upon
::tese:ruenre done vt'tties only. 'Phase yvcre the prinn
eipstfeatures of the Bill. He was aware it would dis-'
amoint many persons; for there were, some, who,
listening to their pr. jtd,ces, thought that the utmost
vengeance of Parliament ought to be called down upon
these combinations; and who thought that rigour and
severity Were the best tests of' power. Fur_ his own
part, he thought the best test of the power of Govern-
ment was shewn in its clemency and moderation. If
any future necessity should arise, it would not be dif-
ficult to make the laws more strict; and to vindicate
the authority of Patliament as yell as to protect the
best interests of the country. If it should happen that
the consumers were inconvenienced by the consequence
(*these combinations, the Government must take cire
to provide supplies at it reasonable rate, by admitting
the productions of other countries. ile felt all the dis-
advantages which such a measure must bring with it,
but he felt alsci that, great as their disadvantaiges were,
it was better to endure them than to submit to the
tyranny of- the combinations of the workmen. The
Hun. Member concluded by moving, that the Speaker
do leave the chair.

Mr. ROBERTSON then rose, for the purpose, be
said, of offering his 'opposition to doctrines which ap-
peared at pi esent to have become fashionable., Lie then
proceeded to argue that the interests se British navigation and
numeric were injured by the existing system.
Mr. HUMLISSON submitted that the Honourable Member's
observations wets out of order, inasmuch u they had no Wants
whatever to the subject before the House. _ _ .

The SPEAKER said, it was extremely difficult to
say whether the observations of the Hon. Member had
been strictly in order or not, they having been applied
to tl.e state of commerce all over the world. He had,
however, no hesitation in s eying, that what had fallen
front the Honourable Gentleman at present had no reference to the
subject of the present discussion.
Mr. ROBERTSON resumed, and sai.l, he thought
that whatever concerned the general intere,ts of the
*awry might be properly enough introduced into this debate.—
The lion. Gentleman then proceeded in his observations.
Mr. Secretary PEEL was compelled to say, that af-
ter listening for some time with much attention, he
could not see how then lr.ervatiens of the Hon. Gent.
bore in any degree upon the question before the Howe.
It was difficult certainly to say in what way a speech might end,
but at present be did not see any roadie of application.
Mr. ,ROBERTSON, after defending himself from
the charge of being out of order, declared that the-re-
peel of the Combination Laws would, in his view, be
attended with the most mischievous consequences to
the workmen themselves. Being enabled to extort
from the masters any rate of wages they pleased, they
would pass oat half of their week always in idleness, rind contract
the most dangerous habits of excess and intoxication.
Mr. HUME said, that the Right Hens Gentleman
opposite (Mr. Wallace) had given the workmen anything
rather than fair play. None of the abuses of which the
masters complained so loudly were at all proved in the
evidence before the House ; and at least the existing

from 30 to 60 per cent. in price. It wks a little hard
to allow the corn-grower to bring his commoditi as he chose into
the market, and to shut out all competition, that he might obtain
his own price for it ; and then to punish the workman, who was
compelled to buy this artificially raised commodity of the land-
holders, for making what efforts he could to get the best posaible
price for his own.
The Haase then went into a Committee upon the Bill.
The Sprat's having left the Chair,
Mr. CALCR AFT objected, that sufficient Investigation had not
been given to the subject.
On the reading of the clause which made it penal to induce any
man to leave his work by threat. intimidation, or nut*.
Mr. HUME objected to the wording of the clause as Soo vague.
The word " insult" might be construed a thousand ways, and that
which might he considered as an insult to one man, would not he
so understood as applying to another. Ile thought the druid
should be put in a more defined shape.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL sAid, if the word
II insult" was thought t o undefined, he wou'd not press
it ; but he had pTec-dent for the adoption I.f words in a
penal clau-e, which admitted of fall as great a latitude
of construction. In an Act then before him were the words " mo-
lesting or obstructing by threats, intimidations, or any other means."
Sir M. W. RIDLEY thought the word " insult" sufficiently
measured; but if the object of the Bill could be attained by any
other terms, be would not oppose the alteration.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, as workmen were now
subjected to such mole.tations as tarring And feathering,
or pulling through horse ponds, if th y did not join in
the combinations male against their m:l7st -rs, it was
necessary to give them some further sister-ion than they had at
present.
Mr. HUME and Mr. Secretary PEEL mutually explained.
Mr. W.-WHITMORE cot.t.nded, that as the
gistrates in the manutic raring districts were generally
masters, and as thi persons who combined were gent'
r4lly wbrkmen, this Bill would give to the master~
power of oppressing the men with which 'Fey ought
not to be intrusted. He thought that a power of ap-
peal ought to be given to 'he men. If it were not, it
would be found necessary in a very short time to propose, for the
sake of justice, that in the manufactuting slirricts there should be
none but stipendiary ..Magistrates.
Mr. HUME again objected to the word " molest," as bcirg
vague and inexplicit.
The•Comniittee then divided, when there appeared,

Mr. HUSKISSON said, that the fault of the 8.11 of
last year was, that it did not carry into eff-ct the rego..
lotions agreed to by the Committee. Toe present Bill
oas intended to do that. It was not meant to do any
thing harsh or oppressive to the artisans, its sole object
was to remove all restraints in the free competition of
labour and capi•al. The great source of these re-
straints was, the combination of workmen, whose con-
trout, when exercised, was found to be more oppressive
than the laws of any tyrants.
Mr. HUMS said, that the House, in agreeing to that clause,,-
were virtually opposing the people.
lord A. HAMILTON, Mr. W. SIMS, and Mr. •CALICILAIPIN COM.
demned the language used by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen.
Sir F. BURDETT regreft-d that a little more time
had not been given to see the operation of the Bill of
last year. He defended the Honourable Member for
,Aberdeen, whose warmth on the subject was very nst-;
tura', cktusidering that he had in the Committee been
obliged to stand single-handed tnr•what he considered
his duty. He objected to the vagueness of the last
clause, and thought all parties would be sufficiently
protected by the common la;v.
After a few words from MI. SCARLIST, Mr. floanonse, Mr.'
Maavracs, and Mr. Secretary Pan., the Committee divided, whoa
the numbers were.

Mr. DENMAN postponed the further consideration of the Com-
mittee on Mr. Kenrick till to-morrow.

Mr. DENMAN begged leave, in the most explicit
manner, to disclaim baying cast any imputation (as be
might be supposed to have done, from the speeches of
some Honourable Members that evening) upon Alre.
Kenrick, with respect to his having been actuated by
anything like corrupt motives in these proceedings. In
the case of Mr. Mania Canfor, he undoubtedly desired •
to be understood as charging Mr.Kenrick with having
manifested extreme partiality, when the whole bearing
of the case was considered ; and that charge of par.
tiality; he did conceive, was made out, upon the eyi•
dence which had been offered at the bar, He now
brought up a paper relative to .the case of C. Franks; •
and upon which, inasmuch is it contained the grounds
of the charge against Mr. Kenritk, namely, that in rel.
spect of Franks he had unjustly pronounced him to be
guilty of a felony, and had afterwards proposed to
compromise the affair on the condition tliat Franks
should plead guilty to such felony, which Franks had
declined to do—he (Mr. Denman) gave notice, that be 'skald, to-
morrow, submit a notion fee coosiderinsuch paper.
Mr. BERCROMBY and Mr. BAILING were averse to any
mode of proceeding that might seem to bear unnecessarily bard
upon Mr. ICenrick.
• Mr. Secretary PEEL did not mean to kaput: the slightest ins-
propriety of feeling,to the motives which had actuated the Moo.
and Learned Gentleman. If, however, it should appear that. Mr.
Kenrick could not enter upon his defence without calling certain
witnesses whose evidence seemed to be considered material, other
matters must necessarily stand over till neat Sissies.
The SPEAKER understood the modes for postponing the hi-
ther consideration of the charge spinal Mr. Keswick to be post-
poned till to-morrow. The only question was, whether k was lawilal
or Mat in the Chair to communicate- to the iisdividual aeramd.ohe
substance of the charge against him? In charges like this, arisen,
the charge against the patty bad been Insisted on as matter of riglit,
