The LORD CHANCELLOR said the noble lord had

communicated disagreeable information, but he could not
say them was any breach of the peace.
The Earl of ELDON said, no man was more unwilling
than himself to say a meeting was to answer for the words
of one man; but, if at a meeting moving about the country,
one individual holding out improper language to 100,000,
might be 'labial to the law. It the offence had not come
under the consideration of the law ofEeers, they had not done
their duty to the country. There must have been some mo-
tive for passing over such thine. The noble sod learned
lord appealed to the Lord Chief Justice, whether, if hands
were held up at a meeting in assent to an unlawful propo-
sition, every one of those Individuals was not guilty of a
breach of the law I

The LORD CHANCELLOR interposed, and said if
any illegal act bad been 'committed at the meeting under
discussion, perhaps his noble and learned friend ander the
gallery (Lord Tentacles) might have the trying of it.
Lord TENTERDEN said Hide noble and learned friend
on the Woolsack had not previously explained in the manner
he had already done, be should have taken proper steps
to prevent any misunderstanding of the matter going be-
fore the public.
Lord WHARNCLIFPE said be should be sorry if it
went teeth to the wotid that he had said a whole meeting
should be liable far the words of one man. He begged to
all the attention of the noble and learned lord, however,
to a resolution paned at this Political Union, when the
hands of the parties attending et had been held up in sup-
' port of a nen.payment of taxes if the present Bell should
! not pass their lordships' boss*. If such meetings were
allowed to exist, and agree to such rem/untrue, there was
an end to the power of the government of the country.
