Mr. RYDER moved the Order of the Da
third needing of this Bill. y fee is
Mr. HIJ t CHINSON spoke at considerable keg*
against the measure, which, in his opinion, waalt
totally pf the desired effect. The Itigfet ihat
Secretary had n.'t found any person in Nottineham,
shire who would discover his accomplices, when frank.
breaking was only a transwirtable effence; aid be
now sagely supposed that they would come forward
to make discoveries when the crime was rendered t 4.
pital. Such a position was contrary to all espn-
for in offences like the present, the difficulty if disco,
very would Le proportioned to tile severity of misty
meat. The Right lion. Gentleman had stated, die
these disturbances were the most alarming that had
of bate years been experienced in England ; and ether
Gentlemen had told them, that they were even lile;r

I such was the ca..e, it became the duty of I'arliamtsL
to examine into t'•e causes of the grievance. of wltic'l
the mar.ufactuters compla:ned, and not merely ma•
tent themselves v:th promulgating this hanging it"
, of Parliament. Ile admitted that we should set
parley with snbjects in arms ; hut he would deny that
the people could have been led into such mew;
wither:. !Wile ground of compla:::t: and it became
the House to examine thcir grievances before tr.
treme severity was resorted to. An allusion was tnede
on a former. night to the pract;ce under the keidt
law, of parents stoning their disalredient and refrac-
tory children : but had parents or legislature ta,
duties of enquiry, of advice, of the' rerso,4
grievances, to perform. but merely to create some
highly penal statute to put down disobedience?...
Was it war which created the grievances cruel/hied
of ? Why then apply the remedy of peace in the best
way you can ; though he was not one of those au
could ever wish this country to crouch wider*
power of France. Were your di stresses anted by,
profligate waste in foreign expenditure? Whyte
curtail that expenditure, and tarry on the war es 4
scale adapted to your means. Was a prelim expo,
diture in your establishments at home the cause?,
Then economise at borne, instead of putting famed
this sanguinary code as the only remedy you cid(
apply to the wounds of a distressed populatiOn...
Even this very period, when all. classes were pre*
I down by severe taxation, had been chosen for meteor
ing the expences of our home establishments, Mond
of endeavouring to alleviate the distresses if is
people. Every idea of tetrelchment was rejecith
and the Reversion Bill had been thrown ow, 04 the
ground that the pittance of saving it would polo
was so miserable as not.seedeserve attention, if,
would plainly tell the House, that things could 41
long go on as they were. It we • persetored is ow
present profligate system of expenditure, the babble
would burst as last, and that at no very distaatp,

going into such details ?
The SPEAKER.—If the Hon. Gentleman is
order, I am a loss to discover how he is so.

Mr. H uTc HINSON proceeded, representing dr

met ;than of Barbary. Now, however, he wnuldthecr
that he was in order • and would ask any man it.
quainted with Irish history, had this bloody Mist
13oy Code the effect of putting down disturbances?
No such thing ; they grew worse by mutual emir
ration, till the Irish Parliament at last enqtrired ims
• their grievances, and, by removing them, restored*
country to greater tranquillity and prosperity than it
had ever before enjoyed. He would now rier totb
Right Hon. the Speaker, whether he was in Ws If
not ; and would leave the House to draw their I
concusion, whether it would not be better to clultirel
first, into the grievances of the manuficturers 14w
they appealed to measures of such extreme severity.
The people of Britain, of all others, were the least
likely to run into excesses without a C.11.11e ; they welt
a grave, plodding, sensible, sober, and pious people;
and therefore these manufacturers must have had
grievances which it welt became the House tomtit
into, and, if possible, redress, before they gave their
sanction to this Bill. This was the course lie thouli
recommend, and with that impression oppose the
measure.
Mr. SINCLAIR declared himself decidedly labs
your of the bill. As to the speech 01 the Hon uratih,
Gentleman who spoke last, so entirely did it 'prat
applicable to a motion on the stite of the nation, re
cher than to the business belore the House, dui hi
would deter his reply to it until the time hen the an
notirable Baronet (Sir 'l'. Tuttos) should bring lar•
ward his motion on that subject.
After a few observations IrJlll Sir A. PIGC.OI7

and passed.

Lord A. HAMILTON condemned the inceatik
tency which Parliament had exhibited with reePeelis
ballot ; and stated a variety of objections to the wet
sine, which he said he would detail at greater ler
in the Committee.
Mr. WHITBREAD did not agree with theme
Lord in his objections ; but he reprobated.!
abandonment of that system of training the
population to arms, which this Bill went miaow!
Mr. Secretary RYDER contended, in alley! 7
the Hon. Gentleman, that the present inessureme_
