PARL IA MENTii A r PROCEEDINUS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, FEB. z.

Counfel were heard at lonic length relative to the Scots Appeal
—Hamilton and others v. Geddes, via. Mars. Adam and Alex-
ander, on the part of the Appellants ; Mari. Romilly and
Horner, for the Refpondent. After which Mr. Adam, as leading
Counid for the Appellants.
Their Lordlips deferred the further confederation of the Cafe
till to.morrow.
It was ordered, on the motion of the Stamp of EXETER, that
the Lord Bilhop of Rochefter be requefted to preach before
their LordAtips, at the Collegiate Cilurch of Waminfter. on
Wednefday the soth inflant, in; the day appointed by hls Ma-
jelly's Proclamation for a Gcnetal Fait, &c.
"I he Bile on the Table, all of a privz.tz lo:al defcription,
were torwarded in their refpcetive
Lord HAWKESBURY moved that this Houfe
do now adjourn.
Ent DARNLEY role, not, he Paid, to typo& the
motion, but merely to Rate what he conceived to be
the reafon for the Noble Lord propofing, that the
Houfe fhould meet to morrow, namely, that the ad-
ditional Papers relative to the queftion with Spain,
were expelled then to be ready to be laid upon the
Table. In Rating that he did not mean to oppole
the motion, he begged it to be underftood that he
could not at all reconcile the condua of the Noble
Lord, and of his colleagues in office, in now within
to pufh this matter to to early a difcuffinn, to the ef-
left even of taking precedence of another bufinefs,
of which be (Lord Darnley) had given notice, and
which undoub:edly yielded in intereß to none, with
their previous proceedings and ideas on this eubjelt.
All the correfpondence—all the papers at all con-
netted with the Spanifh queflion, were in their power
and knowledge, and in the power and knowledge of
none elle. They ought at the beginning to have
laid on the Table every paper which was at all effen-
tial to the forming of a fair judgment on the quef-
tion. They did lay fuch papers on the table, and
Noble Lords on the fame fide of the Houfe with him
(Lord Darnley) made no objeftion to them, nor de-
mended any farther produftion. They were willing
to have formed their judgment on the quetlicin, on
the evidence which Minifters themfelves had thought
fufficient. Now, however, Minilters viewed the
matter differently, and they had themfelves moved
for additional papers. To this his Lordfbip laid he
could have no objeflion ,• but he muff be forgiven
laying that the condo& of Noble Lords on the other
fide, in this refpeft, did not correfpond with that de-
fire fir a fpeedy difcullion of the bufinefs which they
had been fo eager to profefs ; at all events he could
not fee on what grounds their own delay, or want
of preparation, ought to be efteemed a reafon for
poftponing the motion on another; mportant fubjeft of
which he had formerly given notice. He rather con-
ceived the condua of NobleLorda in Adminiftration,
as a fervile imitation of the proceedings in another
Houfe, which it was unbecoming the dignity of that
Houfe to follow, unlefs on moil fubftantial and ne-
ceffary grounds.
Lord MULGRAVE expreffed his furprife at
tome of the obfervations which fell frmn the Noble
Earl. With refpeft, how ever to the Papers and do-
cuments in queftion, he would firft fay, that they
were more voluminous than he had-formerly occa-
fion to apprehend, making a quantity of not lets than
70 printed pages. 'Every exertion was ufed to get
the papers ready for prefentation that day, but it
WAS found imprafticable ; and it was tithed the
Houfe lhould meet to-morrow, for the purpofe of
laying the Papers on the table, with the earlieft pot-
fible opportunity. With relpell to the blame which
the Noble Earl teemed to impute to him, for his con-
duit on the occafion, he mull fay, be thought no
blame could fairly be imputed to him, either for
what he had done in the tirli initance, or in the fub-

fequent proceedings. He had certainly, according
to what he had profetfed, laid every information be-
fore the Houfe, which he thought necelfary, for the
due underitanding of the fubjed. He had profeffed
his anxious with to have the fubjee fully and com-
pletely before Parliament and the public, and on
th..t principle he afted. The idea of producing ad-
ditional information, it fbould be recolleied, did not
originate with him ; it was deemed, upon maturer
cordideration of the topics, to be necelfary by other
perfons, and in other quarters. In conformity,
therefore, with the with to have every degree of
information which may be deemed necelfary before
Parliament and the public, it was, that he had
propofed the produeion of the additional docu-
ments ; and this, with as little delay as poilible ; in
which view, and with reference to an early difcalion
of, and decifion upon the fubjee, it was propofed to
meet to-morrow. Such an attack upon Miniliers as
that proceeding from the Noble Earl he had never
yet heard of. He had heard of attacks upon Mini-
Acts fur withholding due information, in the firlt in-

Rance, And pertinacinufly refuting it afterwards ; bn:
never, till at day, did he hear them blamed fur
wilting to give every poff.l.le info:ma:kr: upon a
fubjeft. He had heard O. Attack. upon Minitiers,
for sating to urge a pt.:mature difetiflinn of parti-
cular topics ; but never till then did he hear any
Minifters arraigned tOr poßponing the day, in order
to afford a foil and ample interval for deliberation.
With refpea to a Noble Earl's idea, that a with ex-
Med with his Majefty'.s pi dent Minifters, to introduce
a fer vile imitation on the part of that Honfe, of the
proceedings of the other Houfe of Parliament, it
was entirely unfounded. Did Rich a dare marafeß
itfelf in an obvious with to give their Lordthips as
full and complete information upon the fubjeEt in
quellion as that which was propofed to be given to
the other Houfe ? Did a line of proceeding, oh-
violin,- intended to enable that Houfe to difcufs and
decide upon the fubjeft, or at leaft as early a day as
the other Houfe, argue a with to make their Lord-
fhips the fervile imitators and followers of that
Houfe ? Certainly not. So much for the affertion
of the Noble Earl on that head, and the with to
meet to-morrow being in arid conformity to every
principle laid down by his Majeßy's Miniflers in that
Houfe for their condo& ; with refpeft to the Cubic&
in queftion, he did not fee haw any Noble Lord
could confitkently objeft to the proceeding.
The Earl of DARNLEY did not, nor could he
ever have intended to complain that too much infor-
mation had been afforded. He would fay, however,
that it was the duty of Minifters to have known
what papers were requifite for the difeutlion of the
queftion ; and that they should have come prepared
with them in the fira intlance.—Adjourned to next
day.
