Court ar,fCn:t the Pass, to which he thought proper in the first
plate to:appeal.
Mr. SCARLETT thought it would be an injustice to
have the affidavits printed, unless the House were to
proceed immediately upon them. The affidavits were
expire., and he thought therefore the better plan would be for his
Hon. Friend (Mr. Denman) to move for an office copy those of
affidavits tia he laidbefore the Rouse, which might be panted neat
/session. when there could be no difficulty in proceeding upon them.
Mr. C. W. WY NN feared that the effect would be prejudicial
to Mr. Kendrick. if these es-pavie affidavits were to be distlibuted
amongst the Members such a length of time before proceedings
could be Instituted. _ _ _

Mr. STURGES BOURNE was or the same opinion.
After a few words Irons Mr. flotus Seise's,
Mr. PEEL asked the Hon. Gentleman net to preu fee the slide-
'its, hut rather to lay before nix House a charge founded upon them?
Mr. DENNI.kN was not aoa.e that such matters
had ever been put in the form of a charge. He was
tint putting forward the affidavits as evidence against
Mr. Kendrick, but only to skew that grounds existed for
a charge against that individual. He also felt, that
proceedings should be immediately instituted, that Mr.
Kendrick might not go another Circuit with a character tainted by
what had already taken place.
Sir M. RIDLEY said, that the individual (Mr. Kendrick) de-
sired that any form of the House might be dispensed with, and the
fullest inquiry gone into.
Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that whatever disposition there
might twin the House to evade forms, If depositions were laid on
the table, the individual answering the charge must gi7e an answer
not upon lath.
The Petition was then read ; and on the question that it helaid
on the table. .
Mr. DENMAN said, the objection here was very sin-
gular, that the statement *as too solemn, too well sup-
ported, and therefore the individual in answering it on
his simple affirmation, .would not be in so good a situa%
tion as the accuser. Hp would now propose to lay the
affidavits of Mr. Kendrick on the table, together with
that affidavit which proved him to be the author of the
letter in /he blatlford News. On those papers he
thought a case would be made out. to skew that Mr. Kendrick was
unfit for the high situation which be held.
Mr. Secretary CANNING explained.
Mr. BARING said, that after the _speech of the Klutz's Attor-
ney. General. which be had read in a Newspaper, it was impossible
that his Majesty's Government should not take some steps.-{The
ArroeurrAinmaas. said, across the table, that the speech was
not made as Attorney-General).
Mr. DENMAN then moved for the production of Mr. Ken-
drick's affidavits, on moving foe an information against the Mussing
Cisyssiole, and other affidavits, *hewing that he was the author of
a letter in the fiteusjond News.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, to duce affidavits be had
no objection.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said. Ms objection went to the production
of all the affidavits in the cause.
Mr. Secretary CANNING said be should also withdraw his'
opposition.
Mr. C. WYNN said kis oblation to the want of croos.ezasni.
nation, could not of course apply to the affidavit of Mr. Keadrisk
himself —The Motion was then, after a few words from Mr. Lost
sax, agreed to.
