PROCEEDINGS AGAINST LoaD MELVILLi.

Mr. BOND defired very mud to have an eeplaia-
tion from an Honourable Cattleman oppofite to him
(Mr. Whitbriad), whether or not it was his wifttoor
his underlianding that, in the criminal profecution
'MAIM, the above mentioned Nobleman, his Majesty's
Aootney General was to proceed upon that part of
the charge which related to the 40,0001. which had
been advaneed to Boyd, Beniel.l, and Co. He would
alto with that information fhould be given him as to
what was intended about the cafe of Mr. Jellicoe,
whether or not that point was to be included in the
proceeding of lilt Attorney General ? Thefe points
appeared tot tm to be In clear, that he trusted there
would mat be more wanting than the prefent intima-
tion to dirdi the Attorney General as to the courfe
which he Mould pwfue, unlefs a contrary mode
Mould be recommended t,•,- any other Member of the
Houle • •
Mr. WHITBREAD declared that according to
his ideas of the tubjeft, the circumflancelof Mr. Jet.
lieoe's arrear not baying been fettled would form a
material branch of the impeachment. This might
mu, however, have made loch an imprelfion on the
ki,,ufe as it had done On his mind. As to the legal
powriety of loch a figs, or the probability there was
of fucceeding, however, lie fhonld rather let that reit
with the Att.,' or y
The ATTORNEY GENERAL obferired that,'
from the Contlitudonal jealtaufy which the Houle had
always been acct! loured to eiercife in Inch cafes, he
trolled that the opinion of the Houfe weed be mew.
lennicited to hint, not only upon the topics to which
the Honourable Gentle Man had added, hot alio
that feveral other parts of the fobjett would have
been elplilined to him, rather than to have left hies
to fetal a ground of profecution from the whole
body of the two repoits.. He would afk the Houfe
whether, as the civil profecutioo was efireaed to be
fufpended as fir u related to Lord Melville, hi
Mould not alto tofpend any profecution on fimilar
grounds againd Mr. Trotter ? There might, poffibly,
-home formal difficulties be flirted In the cafe when
he came to confider whether he Mould make Ore of
Trotter as a witnefs againfl Lord Melville. There
was another point upon shich be molt particularly
required the aid and dilation of the Hock, that
was, as to the propriety of producing in another
place, evideace of what had been Paid in that Houle
by the Noble Lori who was then the fubjett of con-
•Clfarifill. A prataiee had of late years grown in
upon the Houfe, of of dering direr% profecutions by
the Attorney General, iidlead of the old, and, in his
opinion, leis objetli•sable Mode of proceeding, that
of fending op an adds els to his*Majefly. If the pro.
cceding had taken the turn to which he novr alluded,
he lhould have had a communication with site Secre-
tary of State, who delivered him the orders from the
Thr ne, and ft 'ln the expofitions which would con
fequently take place, he would have force particular
line of conduit t Stinted ont to him, and he would be
moll likely in politffion of all the evidence which
would he one 'Eery, or which could be procured
towards the fubltantiation of the charge on which
was to found a profecotion. He hoped that the.
Hoeft would ezercile its power to lancet (tech dif-
ficulties as be had fiated, and that they n ould ermdc-
feend to Le more icular in the ioartglions which
they would be pleated to put ;n Lis liktndb.
Mr. BOND laid, that as to Jellicoes affairs be I
Mould not have the leaft helltation in fubroitting the
Tuition totie Houle, ar.d had no doubt that it would
be ordered to exciude that from the profecutien or-
dered by the Houle.
Mr. WHITBREAD hoped that the Hour;
be able to help the Honourable and Learned Gen
tleman out of all the great difficulties of which he
bad complained. For his own part, he did intene°
that both the civil profecution against Lord Melville
and that againft Mr. Trott-r lhnuld be forgended it
the event of a crie.inal ptoJcutioa having been
