LOILD VISCOUNT MILVILLI.
On the motion of Mr. WHITBREAD the orders
of the Houfe of yefterday, on the fubjed of Lord
Melville's Impeachment, were read. The Honour-
able Gentleman then faid, that the motion of which
he had given notice for the Houfe being prefent at
the trial in a Committee of the whole Houle, he
confidered to be fo much a matter of courfe that it
was with extreme furprife he &ft learned that any
oppofition was meant to be made to it. It was fo
completely incomprehenfible to him what could be
urged againit his prefent motion, that he Ibould not
think it neceffary now to endeavour to anticipate
what might be faid, but hoped the Houfe would in-
dulge him with a few words in anfwer to any thing
which might be advanced on the other fide. He then
moved, that the node be prefent at the trial of
Lord Vifcount Melville, as a Committee of the whoic
Houfe.
Mr. ROBERT DUNDAS (fon of Lord Melville)
fisted, that the effea of the Honourable Gentleman's
motion would be to induce the Lords to order Well.;
mintier Hall to be fitted up for the trial of Lord
Melville, inflead of allowing it to proceed at the Bar
of that Houfe. Of the great public expence and in-
, convenience which this would occalion, he would
I not fay a word; his obfervations would be folely di.
retied to requelt the Houfe to confider the inconve-
nience, perhaps the injuttice and opprelfion, which
the expence and daily attending this proceeding mull
impofe on the perfon who was the objeft of it. The
Houle mutt be aware, that if the trial came bn at
the Bar of the Houfe of Lords, it would proceed un-
interruptedly—and if any queftion arnie which re-
quired the deliberation of their Lnrdlhips, the Ma-
ewers and others, who might be prefent, could
o
retire, for a Ilion time, until the point Should be
determined. Not fo if the trial took place in Weft-
minfle: Hall. Any removal of the Lords to their
own chamber for the purples of deliberation, mull
be attended by a variety of ceremonies. neceffarily
produttive of delay. It had been calculated that the
difference in expedition, if the Impeachment was
carried forward in Weitminfler Hall. and at the bar
of the Houle of Lords was as three to one. It had
been faid that this was a public butinefs. and that it
*weld be inveltigated in public. In this opinion he
=t. he only requefted that in punning this
he Houle would abflain from any ad, the
Milk of which mull be oppreffion to the individual
concerned ; haraffing him by delay, and ruining
by expeace. He fisould have thought that the long
pentraeed trial of Mr. Hafting' would have been
futficient to induce the Houfe to paufe before they
inftitoted another impeachment in Weaminfler Hz&
He had no doubt that the Honourable Gentleman,
and the other Managers, would proceed with "'slink
delay as poffible, but be was convinced that it would
not be in their power Co to curtail the proceedings, if
they went forward in Weitmiofter Hall, as to make
them any thing near as !bort as they could be made
at the Bar of the Houle of Lords. In theta! Mlfance
of a fimilar nature, the trial took place in the Houle
of Lords. On this cafe, that of Lord Macclesfield,
the Honourable Gentleman, when he fire propofed
the impeachment of Lord Melville, bad dwelt with
peculiar emphafis, as affording an instance of the
difpatch with which an impeachment might be con-
duaed. He ttutted that he did not mean to mock
the houfe with this precedent, and afterwards depart
from it. The trial of Mr. Hafting', in Weftminfter
Hall, had occupied (even years; that of Lord Mac-
clesfield in the Houfe of Lords, onlytwenty-ope days.
It would be hardly fair for the Honoorable Gentle-
man now to turn about and fay to the Honk, w You
have chofen to proceed by way of impeachment, it
(hall therefore be dose in the molt vexations manner
poffibie." This perhaps (truck him more fbrcibly
than it would any other Member, but he trolled the
Houle would excufe him—bear! hear! With regard
to the ability of Lord Melville to pay great expences
lie could advert to it with the lefs hefitation, becaufe
from the documents that had been produced before
the Committee, no one knew better than the Hon.
Gentleman, that Lord Melville's private fortune was
by no means adequate to any great expenditure. He
would not prefs his objeetion to a difilion, uidefske
perceived that the general opinion of the Houle was
with him. A great deal had been faid about obtain-
ing the end of fubflaatial juftice. How that could
be better effected in Weflminfier Hall titan in the
Houle of Lords, h could not conceije. He trolled
however, that the Houfe, in endeavouring to obtaift
fubftantial jullice, would not run' to the oppofite ex—
treme, and do a fubftantial
Mr. TIERNEY laid, that when the Honk had at
left come to the refolution of Impeachment, he had
trolled that no farther quetlion e.n the fuhjeEt would
have been introduced. He was far from wifliing to
fay any thing that might hurt the feelings of Lord
Melville; and he could not help bearing his teftimony
' to the aria propriety with which the Hon. Gentle-
man who oppofed the motion had concluded bimfelf
during the whole dunk of the difcuffion ; but he
was confident the Houfe could not Itelitate to adopt
the motion before them. The fubftantial ends of
*plaice might, indeed, be attained by a trial at the
tsar of the Houle of Lords, hut not with the fame fa.
ti:.faftion to the public mind. He had always pre-
f.:l red the trial by impeachment, as more applicable
to the high rank of the perfon adored. and the na-
ture -of the charges brought againft him ; and for
the fame melon lie thought that the trial (hould be
cooduaed with every plate lolemnity, fo that the
public might be convinced, that no tank or Ration,
however high, could proud any man from a Solemn
decifion. The public expelled this folemn trial, at-
tended with every degree of publicity, and would not
be fatisfied without it. With regard to its bearing
hard on the private fortune of Lord Melville, a rims-
far plea had been urged by Mr..klallingt,' but it had
not been !Mated to by the Houle. The Hon. Gen.

rlsman alio complained of the delay that would en-
Cue; but tl.is Houfe would not be accountable for
any delay that might take place: The Houle were
prepared to ellablift their charger, and fuch com-
plaints might be addreffed with more propriety to
another Houfe. In fin, all the difference in refpeft
of time between a trial in Weftminfler Hall and one
at the bar of the Houle of Lords, would merely be
in their Lordfhips travelling at times between the
Hall and their own Houle. He concluded by giving

his fupport to the motion.
Mr. BANKES thought that the trial of Mr. Haf-
kings, fo far from being adduced as a precedent,
ought to ferve as a warning to the Hnufe to avoid
adopting any thing refembling it in future. He
thought it was difgroceful to this Houle, to the Hoag
of Lords, and to the country. It had taught him nev
to take impeachment when jullice could be otherwi
obtained, and never to fend a culprit into Weftmi
Rer Hall, while another tribnnal remained befor
which he might be tried. As to the public eepedal.
tion requiring a trial in Weftraintler Hall, he mai
convinced the public required no fuch thing. They
had been fufficiently difgufted with a trial of eight
feffinns already, and a trial of twenty•one days be-
fore the Houfe of Lords, while more confiftent witl
the due attainment of the ends of public julliee, would
be more gratifying to the feelings of the people.
Lord FOLKSTONE contended, that it was un
fair to contrail the trial of Mr. Hafting, with that o
Lord Macclesfield. or aferibe the great length
the former to the time cnnfumed in the forme at -
tendant on fuch a mode of trial. It was owing t
very different circumilances ; to the variety of th I
charges brought againft him, and the complicate
nature of the evidence by which they were fupport
ed. It was a principle of the Conttitution, that all
trials filmid be condeted in as public and open a
trimmer as poffible ; and, finely, this principle o.pe:
rated with the- greaten force in the cafe of an taxi
peachment. In this point of view, the very eiresiss-i
fiances which occalion delay may be important, as
giving folemnity and publicity to the trial. For esti
morons, he wiffied it to be condOled in Wellman*
Hall.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQyER,
expreffed his furprife at teeing Gentlemen who had
overturned the decifion of the Hook on a criminal
prnfccution, on the ground that it was not fufficiently
dignified and folemn for the fituation and charader
, Oahe Noble VitCount, now joining in an attempt, as
much as poffible, to deprive the trial of that folemnity
and importance which they formerly thought fo much
fuited to it. The cafe of Mr. Hafting:, he contended,
could not be held out as one from which the time to
be employed in this trial could in the (Mallen degree
be inferred. They were completely different in their
nature, and in the evidence required to fubflantiate
each. The argument of thole who oppofed the
mo-
tion, however, went to this, that this ufage pf our an•
cellars, of trial by impeachment in Weßminller Hall,
was imprafticable, and ought no longer to be conti.
nued. As to expence, we had heard enough on that
fabled. When the expenditure of millions, connected
with our poffeffions abroad, was propofed to be in-
quired into, we were attempted to be deterred by the
expence of paper and printing. When our abufes at
home were fought to be chaltifed, then the expellee
of feaffolding and of wooden benches was to be held
up as an obilacle to the inveffigation. Such, how-
ever, he hoped fhould never operate in this country,
but that it would always be found, that the belt mode
of avoiding ruin, and of infuring profperity, would be
to (pare neither trouble nor expence in inveßigating
and bringing to juftice every fpecies of delinquency.
As to the expence to the Noble Lord, he hoped it
would be (mall. He knew nothing of the fitnation
of the Noble Lord's affairs, but, whether acquitted
or condemned, that might be the fabled of after in-
quiry and confideration. This was not here the mid-
tion. The only objea at prefent was the attainment of
fubltautial juffice.
Mr. ROSE faid, that he had voted for the impeach.
ment in preference to a trial in an inferior Court ;
but he had then imagined it would be conduOed at
the Bar of the Houfe of Lords, after the precedent
of Lord Macclesfield. Every end of public jcltice
would in that way be obtained in a fifth part of the
time. He thought the Noble Lord had fpoken in too
defponding a tone of the finances of the country. In
his opinion, the refonrces of the country were abun-
dant, and fully Ilifficient to meet every exigenfe.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
explanation, (aid, that he had not fpolten in gloomy
language of the financial profpeas of the country.
He had raid, that die country could only be ruined by a
want of principle in thole who direded its refources.
Mr. wHITBRE4II Paid, he had a great refped
for the line of condo& adopted by Mr. R. Dundas
in the courfe of thefe proceedings ; but he could not
but obferve, that all the force of his arguments to-
night, relied on the expence and vexatious haraffings
to which a trial in Wellminiter Hall would expoTe
the Defendant. For his own part, he was very far
from wifhinglto vex, or to harafs any man, but with.
ed this trial to be concluded with all that folemnity
and publicity which obtained for Britifh jullice that
charader which it now jußly maintained throughout
the world. He feared, that if the Gentlemen opprifile
to him were allowed to carry their principle as far as
they now propofed, the next Rep they would take was
to thut up public courts altogether, and give the
preference to private tribunals, over all public courts
of Mice. (Loud crier of no !no from the Oppetios,
and .f hear ! hear ! from the fifinArialfsdet of the houji.)
By the fame means, they might entity get rid of
impeachments altogether. But furely, when they
moved to reverie the vote for a criminal profecution,
and propofed •the impeachment inftead of it, they
had, for they muff have had, all the expence againtt
which they now fo vehemently declaimed, in their
contemplation at the moment (cheers of hear, hear I)
Trials of impeachment is Wettminiler Hall, were.
at all times, the uniform pratice of Parliament ; and
the only exception to it was the cafe of Lord Mac.
elesfield, which had been fo often referred to. That
trial would have been, perhaps, equally as Mort in
Weltminiter Hall, as it was at the Bar of the Hnufe
of Lords ; becaufe that Nobleman took few or no
exceptions to the queilions put to witneffes, as was
done in the trial of Mr. Hailing., which was always
the great caufc of delay, hecaufe they obliged the
Lords to retire each time, tor the purple of dehbe•
rating and dividing on them. But even at that
time, though the Lords determined for a trial at
that Bar, it. was the occafion of many firong protefts

—from one of which he read an extrati, Containing
many of the arguments againft fuch trials, which
were reforted to in the prefent debate. The Right
llonotirable Gentleman (Mr. Role) laid, he thought
a trial at the Bar of the Houle of Lords would be
more public than one in Wetiminfter Hall, which
1 was very firange, as that chamber could not contain
all the Members of that Houle, who would think it
their duty to attend the trial. It was true the Houk
' of Lords had been tonfiderably enlarged time the
time of Lord Macclesfield ; but the nothber of the.
Lords had all, fince very much increafed, as mutt
be clearly within the knowledge of that Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman. However, fo far was Lord
Macclesfield's trial from deferving the name of being
a public one, that one of the Managers was at that
time fo feverely bruifed in the crowd, that he died
of it on the following day. The Right Honourable
Gentleman laid, that he was always a friend to in-
quinies into abufes. It may be fo ; but of this be
was certain, that the Right Honourable Gentleman
uniformly voted againft them (hearing a cry of No,
! from the oppofite fide of the Houfe, Mr. Whit.
bread anfwered, " but I fay res. Ter !)" Being then
called to order from the Chair, he proceeded to (tam
that he was lorry for any trefpafs he might have
made upon order, but thought himfelf julhified is
oblerving, that the irregularity did not begin with
him. The Right Honourable Gentleman not only.
voted *gala! all fuch inquiries, but alto voted origi-
nally *gam& this impeachment, by dividing. in fur
.port of previous, queftion moved upon st ; and
, only voted for it afterwards, for the purpofe of get-
ting rid of the criminal profecution ; for his owe
part, he was ready to go to any expence that the sc.
carton Might call for. As to' what was faid of get-
ting tickets from Lords, be thought little of tbst era
gement, as the Peers would certainly have more an.
amity in their own Chamber, than they could well
ezercife in Weeminber Hall. The -Honourable
Ciendeman who opened the debate referred to him,
as knowing the eireundlances of Lard tsfelvilfe.. It
certainly happened that, in dm geode of their ism&
ligation, a number of Aims MELO/ lit:=o2:
of the Committee, which ewe tot •
them to be informed oft bat be !wee
them ; he did not want to know them tillitilaire
mean at any time to fpeak of time ; fa that. in fad,
he was not acquainted with Lord Melville's private
circusallances. If this fort of plea woe admittaa,
there never would be an impeachment or prokcution
—for any man may fay, " It is not fair to proftente
me, for lam too poor to defend." Upon the whole
the belt fecurity that could be had for public
was folemnity and publicity in their proceedings. It
was faid, that Lord Macclesfield, though tried at the
Bar of the Peers, was a man of fo high a chaniaer,
as to hive been Lord High Chancellor, and was ac-
cured of crimes of the did magnitude ; but fo alto
was Lord Melt ilk, at the time of his delinquency, ha
the high office Of Fiat Lord of the Admiralty, and
charged with Coffering others to. peculate, and with
being a participator in it Maga This, therefore,
would be a trial requiring the ntmoft publicity, as
there was not a man in the kingdom who was not
intereded in it. If Lord Melville were innocent, it
was but jailice to him that it fhould be made as Ma--
nifett as poffible ; and, on the other hand, if he were
guilty, it was right that he thould be pronounced fo,
in the face of the affembled nation. In conclolioo,
he faid, that he was convinced the trial could not lafk
long. as he knew it to be the with of the Managers
to curtail it as much as was confident with the ends
of public jutlice.
Mr. WILLIAM DUNDAS faid that he had
.liftened in vain with a view to hear any effential Tee.
fon of juftice or expediency urged, why the .trial
Amid take place in Weftminfter Hall rather thanat
the Bar of the Houk of Lords. As to the Chancel.
for of the Exchequer, he only armted in favour 'Ache
impeachment generally. He (Mr. Punaas) did not
fay that there ought to be no impeachment but hq
contended that it was the effeece of jultice that it
Ihould not be dilatory. Every perfon, as an Hop.
Friend of his bad obferved, was to be peefunsed in.
Ilecent till he was found guilty. He, therefore, for
the prefent, preformed that Lord Melville was Mao.
cent ; and in this view, the mode of proceeding now
propoled would bring the punilliment of guilt on en
innocent perfon. He did not confider titian: a party
queftion. but Aced, whether it was jug or geoerous
that a perfon who, (cuing the prefent affair gide,
had rendered effential fervice to the country, and lee
therefore entitled to its gratitude, Gould, by the
enormous expence to which he would be eapofed, be
configned for the remainder of his life to want arid
poverty ? The Noble Lord (Henry Petty),_ mod dm
Honourable Gentleman who fpoke tall, had sdvert•
ed to the old mode of proceeding, and to the trial of
Mr. Hahhings ; but was there a lawyer in Welhninder
Hall who did not confider that trial as an almmie
noble difgrace ? The Judge Advoaaa, is peePtifieiC
a criminal information, had argued refpeaiag this
abomination, this foul Risme, with the greeted do.
quence. Why was he not here today to ibpport his
`argument ? He concluded by again aflaing, whether
it was confident with juftice or geowofity to bring a
brad of es pence on the thoulders of the aceufed, which,
whether innocent or guilty, would weigh him down
to the earth ?
Mr. PERCEVAL would not detain the Houle
many minutes (there we: a cry for the gwiion). Bot
he had a public duty to perform in laying fomething
upon this quetlion. If one circumilance had beers
mentioned which could prove that the trial fhould
take place in Weftminfler Hall rather than at the bar
of the Houfe of Lords, then indeed he might per-
haps have been filent, but as none fuch had been
mentioned, he trolled the Houle would be open to
receive any impreffions that might be expetted to be
made by the arguments of his Hon. Friend. It was
laid that he and his friends were incenfident in hav-
ing &ft wifbed for the Impeachment, and then en-
deavouring to have it eondufted at the bar of the
Houk of Lords. Where was the inconfiftency ?
They 'tithed for Impeachment Rill in preference to
information, but they waited at the fame time that
it lhould be carried on in the manner kilt oppreffive
to the individual acctifed. Was there any novelty in
having the Imoeachment at the Bar of the Houle of
Lords? No—for the trial of Lord Macclesfield was
condiolted in this manner. But even if there had been
no inftance of this kind he would have been defirous
of introducing that novelty, becaufe he thought that
coorfe the molt proper which united the eliential at-
tainment of juftice with the haft oppreffioo to the
