but he trusted that so unusual a practice would not be
resorted to, when the object of the apPlieatienowits so
.perfectly in unison with the dictates of -hansinity:- It
was decidedly the unanimous wish o 1 their-Ortiktltnents
that legislative nseashres should be employed for tlie rea?itia of a

him. Petitions were now getting np on the stsbjetit. He.
could answer for it that the Clergymen bf Wenwitister
College (except Doctor Goodenough %km be did not
see) were onhis side; as was the Very Rev. Dean. Ile
had seen an affidimiti wherein it 'was' stated', that at a
bull-bait is Oxfordshire, the blrrbaroris owner cut cut
the unfoitunne animal's t .ague, atter it had been la-
cerated by a dog. The tongue was then sent runnd on
a plate for the collection of mor.ey. One instance was
worth a hundred arguments. On a late vcc4sion, a
wretch, who ()Wiled a little dog, compelled the animal
to engage in a fight with a large one, and when the
small dog was successful it was compelled to encoun-
ter a fresh dog. In the second contest it was deleited.
and the brutal master, irritated at the failure, actually chopped GB
the poor dog a legs with a bill book, and then buried the creature
alive. The Magistrates of Queen.square regretted that tha law did
not allow them to put down these cruel sports. He della any
man to say that the universal feeling of the kingdom was not iu
Uvula of a legislative enactraunt for the restraint ut cruelty. The
subject was now started at a moment pectin/1y propitious to the
interests of humanity, when they would shortly bate to appear
,before their constituents. The Attorney-General might be as-
sured that the pan be acted iu the matter would reach Gamin-Wire
one way or another. The transactions of the House were sure to
be reported in the most distant quarters. Perhaps pigeons Bed
with the news.

Mr. W. SMITH would not be debarred by an appre-
hension of ridicule from giving his opiuion.on, a sub-
ject, which concerned the nioials of the community.
He applauded the firmness and humanity of the Hon.
Member for Galway in braving ridicule on such a sub-
j:ct, and pressing his Bill upon the House. Hon. Gen-
tlemen who opposcd the bill must. either list believe
the facts stated, or they must conceive the present laws
adequate to the suppression of the enormities complained
of—and f so, why were not these laws ex. cuted ?
finally, they must be of opinion that the alleged prate,
Jeeas were fur the advantage of the country. The truth of such an
epilog lie deSed them to densoustra:e.. He could see in the of-
tetephilosophy which claimed * license teethe milli; to indulge
thdeir maul sports, real contempt fur the poorer classes, which de-
nied Mimi the .be of inetsocum. It was cresting them he the
samenseaser as the slaves in the Colonies were treated; no matter
how pooligate they were is long as they narked. How maid
those Cientiensen who advocated education in the some orders sof.
tee those who ban been learning morality during the day; to go
from school to the disgraceful and barbarous eabibition of a bear
baking ? it would be consistent enough in these who wished the
vulgar to be Ma better than hewers of wood and drawers ef.water.
Colonel WODD would vote for the Bill ; to which
he was principally induced by an account of a brutal
wins which took place at a boo light in Warwickshire. The
Hon. Member went into a detail of the exhibition at the Lien
light, at which he most say, that the smodun of the mouton
who promoted the light was more horrid and ferooloas then that
of the savage dogs who tore and wpnied the Yon.
Sir it. WILSON was of opinion, u far as his infix•
mation was of any weight on a legal subject, that the
master who had chopped WI his dog's legs, and buried him whilst
breathing, was WW to punishment by the existing laws.
Mr. RIDLEY COLBURN supported the objetisets
made to the 1141, on the same grounds as had bus
taken to it by the Hon. the Attorney General. 111
admitted the Hon. Member for G..lway had dip
played. great perseversace and liminess in sappers of the ;Ilk
which had already made him popular with some, uppepular with
others. He was at all times Millpond to interfere wkls the ems.
of the lower orders, and should therefore oppose the motion of the
Hen. Member.
• Mr. CAItUS WILSON combatted the objectita
that they were not on sligbt grows& su legiskiser due

stated ; namely, the purpose, as the Papee (The Morn-
ing Chronkk) stated, of wresting from the prior wretch
the freehold which he possessed. But no: he admitted
himself that he wets desirous, at he said, " to get rid of a
bad neighbour;" and for that purpose he hai, fur the
sake of so miserable a piece of property as a small elm
slab, brought this prosecution for felony against him.
The tact was, the circumstances against Franks were
not sufficient to establish a charge of even suspicion of
felony against the most notoriously dishonest character
in the world. He did not wish to cast any imputation
on the Magistrate, Mr. Burgess, who had committed
Franks, but he certainly coaceived that the Judge
in those Cases was not very apt to exercise, perhaps, any
involuntary influence over the mind of the Magistrate.
but when this causeless suspicion was compared with
the conduct of the same person in the instance of a sheep
which was found by the owner in circumstanced of real
p suspicion, when a wa'rint had been refused to the
person who lead lost the sheep,- it certainly did seem
that some undue motive lurked beneath, and influenced
the actions of the defendant. Many Of the articles
which. bad appeared in The Morning Chronicle on the
subject had been accompanied by sums for the use of
the pour man while he lay in prison in a state of utter
destitution ; and it was during this period that Mr.
Senrick had published that letter to Mr. Collet, which
appeared in lhe .Staarforel News, and which, in fact,
was written for the purpose ut being published in
that paper. It was surprising too, that Mr. Kenrick
should net in that letter have brought forward that
suspicion about the bloody knife, which he had hinted
at in his petition yesterday. But he did bring forward
many, and nothing could be fouler than the taking up
some old account of a charge brought against Frank's
child, a girl then only ten years of age, on whom
a few -strips of silk and a pair of scissors had been found
in a doll's box, a circumstance which it was clear

Franks and his wife were perfectly ignorant of. After
stating this circumstance, Kenrick added, " This was
before the Act for the punishment of abettors in such
cases bad passed;" thus insinuating, that had the Act
been in existence, Franks and his wife would have
been prosecuted under it. Again, the charge brought
in this letter against Franks, that there was abundant
proof of his having killed two sheep belonging to a Mr.
Peters, another Magistrate, was perfectly false. It was
declared by that Mr. Peters, that the only ground of sus-
picion (and amp but Mr. K. could have. tortured that
into a suspiciousscircumstance) was a piece of paper once
belonging to Franks which was found near the sheep-fold.
This was declared to be an absurd ground on which
to found suspicion, and, in fact, Mr. Peters declared
he had never suspected Franks at all. All the insi-
nuations which Kenrick had throvra out against Franks's
charatter were disproved by all the accounts of the
same individual &rained -from those who knew him
well. But the fact was, the attempt of Mr. Kenrick
to fet poor Franks to pleat- guilty to this charge, of
which be knew he was innocent, snowed that his
object was indeed what he bad himself acknowledged—,
the ".getting rid of a bad neighbour"—and the
acquistuot of that bad neighbour's freehold. But
Franks,Jilar I,a boneit man, and a spirited man, bad
refused, Mil Slit the promise of impunity, to plead
gdilty to td p.. charge, or to any one of which he felt
conscious he *as innocent, and thus disappointed his
prosecutor—(Hear). He would therefore ask the Right
Honourable Gentleman opposite

But he was not so, for, at all events, the conduct of the
Inn had proved him to be completely ignorant of the
duties of his station. How strange it was to hear it
said, that this was not a matter of public interest—
tbat it was nothing more than an inquiry into private
sad domestic transactions between man and man. He
wished the House to say, whether he (Mr. Denman) had
not already said enough to shew that it was a case which
called loudly for the interposition of the public voice,
and which made it a point of duty with that Assembly
to express, in the strongest and most decisive manner,
the sense which they Mt of the value of a pure admi.
nistration of public justice, by removing, in this in-
stance, an odious impediment to its progress. He bad
heard it said that a lawyer ought not to have brought
the subject under the consideration of the House. No
Hon. Member ought to have said se without following
it up by saying that a lawyer ought not- to have a seat
in ch it House, because lawyers, from their habits of
examining evidence to ascertain facts, and to detect
misrepresentation, and from their jealousy of any mal-
administration of justice, were the persons most likely
to bring forward such subjects. For his own part be
would say, that no one had a greater repugnance to
engage in such matters, but he felt that he shouid not
have discharged his duty if he had not pursued the
course which he bad. The lion. and Learned Member
concluded by moving the following !Resolutions:
a That k appears to this Hooks, that the charge against William
Karrick, Esq. one of his Majesty's Justices of the Great Sessions
is Wales, has been fully established by the evidence, except so far
as that be applied for leave to withdraw the prosecution against
Jahn franks, ran account of the said John Franks's good character.
" 'flue it appears tv this House. that the said William Kennett,
Faq. has bhowtt himself unfit to be continued- itt his present dffice ;
and that a humble Addrew-beiresented to his Majesty, praying
W- Kennck,

toot his liLijesty will by ples.ea to remote the ssid .m.
flog. from Ace at. Justice of the Great Sessions In Wales."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted that his
Honourable and laainetl'Friend had been actuated by
the purest motives, and was sure that he had tome
/steward with a vie* of discharging what he felt to be
_a duty. But his (the ittterney-Geilerafs) views, after
looking through the evidence, were widely different
from those of his Hon. and Learned fe.iend. What was
the charge against Mr. Kearick ? His Hon. and
Learned Friend was toot to be allowed to prefer one
charge, and. endeavour to establish another—(//ear).
Mr. Kentick was called upon to :tissue' a diitiritt and
'eclat charge.; his flow. F 1 ier.l said. " I will chew
that he has been guilty of an,,ther." The charge was,
•this--:--thiet rlr. ltienrick preferred a chirge it Woo!
!rteripst John Franks. en which charge he had been
committed by Air. Burgess, a Magistrate, and of which
fru had been acquitted by. a Jury. .111cre was no accu-
sation of corrupt motives or of malice ; yet lii, lion.
Friend said, not that this charge was proved. but that
another chargt: of a deeper distracter had been sub

which Mr. Kenrick had never fiee n c..tied
to answer. Had this proceeding taken place
bifort snother tribunal, his -Hon.:Friend. ovoid, have
teen told that he Awarn not, competent to adopt this
.course—that he must confine himself to the record.Tlie course was unjust to Mr. Kenrick, for this obvious
reason ; could we be lure that if the charge had been
differently worded, Mr. Kenrick would not have ad-
duced evidence to refute it? This was enough to shew
the unjust course pursued by his Hon. Friend—f Hear).
But was it any offence to prosecute a man on insufficient
evidence? Could any civil action be maintained—
could any verdict be got against a man on account of
-ouch tin act, utiles: malice could be sbewn ? The terms
of the charge contained no crime cognisable by law.
Mr. Kenrick was charged with having preferred an ac-
cusation on insufficient evidence; but this very evi-
dence was adduced before Mr. Burgess, who committed
the prisoner. -It followed► then, that Mr. Burgess must
be charged as well as Mr. Kenrick. On that very evi-
' dence, too, the Grand Jary found the bill. Ns undue
influence over the witnesses was imputed; there was
Nothing to impeach their character ;,they told the same
story to Mr. Kenrick, to Mr. Burgess, and to the Grand
Jury ; and the House was now to say that Mr. Ken-
rick was actuated by malicious motives.. His Learned
Friend said the property was trilling: it might be sot
Tile law said that the act of taking it was a crime.—
With regard to the slat., it was not proved that Franks
did not know it was not his own ; he owns that he sew
it. He (the Attorney-General) did not mean to insinuate
that kranki stole the timber ; he maintained 'hat it was
a fit case to go before a jury. What was Mr. Kenrick's
answer fo the charge respecting the cottage? He swore
distinctly that his negociations on the 'subject of that
cottage had been entirely over six years before the pro-
secution in question was thought of. The charge of
vindictive feelings, on the store of a refusal by Franks
to give a footway through his grounds, was negatived,
it possible, more completely. There had been an its.
closure of common lands, in consequence of which two
pieces had Leen allotted to Frans: and a man of the
name of Gates. These pieces not being conveniently
situated for the use of the parties, Mr. Kenrick had
exchanged them for two other pieces of his own,
which abutted on their gardens.. The houses being
adjoining to each other, Mr. Kenrick had told Flanks
that he ought to give Gates a way through his allot-
ment, or he could not enjoy his own conveniently;
Pranks had refused to do this; and for that refusal
it was said that Mr. Kenrick bore malice against
him. The second part of the accusation against
Mr. Kenrick was no better supported than the first ;
that part which regarde4 the publication of the libel in
Drakard's Stamford NOG —The Rouse would not
consider it, morally, >1 very grievoua crime on the part
of Mr. Kenrick, if in a private letter to a near connec-
don, answering a call from that connection for defence
lei explanation, be bad made some charges against the
party accusing him which it was not afterwards in his
power to prove. Ms. Collet, to whom the letter was
written, bad sent it to Drakard, the proprietor of the
Stamford Paper ; but white was the slightest evidence
to show that he ever had Mr. Kenrick's authority for
so doing? And the contents of that letter—the unproved
charges it contained—what were they ? One expression
accused Franks of having been privy to the petty theft
committed by his daughter. Well, all the circumstances
lof that affair were favourable to such a supposition ; and
k was clear that Mr. Kenrick had not invented it when
be wrote the letter, beaten alert of.Ftanksasavidestce
admitted the same accusation to have been made before
Cblit.,Dasseax tweeted the Right Hon. Gentleman
a read that pan of Flankei evidencel—The words
were these— Referring to the time Whig tote charge of
theft had been made against his daughter, Franks sad—
“ I do net know that Mr. Kenrick then threatened to
prosecute me ; but he jumped up in a great passion,
and said if he could catch hold of me he would make
a public example of me." The charge with respect to
the sheep was certainly unfounded; but it did not fol-
low therefore that Mr. Kenrick, at the time when he
Wrote, had not believed it to be true. The charge
against Mr. Kenrick of having tampered with Franks:
wife while he was in prison, and endeavoured to per-
suade her to apply to the parish for relief, that she
might be compelled to sell the cottage—was positively
sworn by Mr. Kenrick to be untrue, and that Gen-
tleman's affidavit was not contradicted. With• re-
spect to the third and last division of the accusa-
tions against Mr. Kenrick,—to wit, that when Franks
had been some time in prison he was anxious to liberate
him, and get the matter quietly over,—that was a charge
which the facts of the case rather more than contradicted.
The evidence stood thus :—A few days before Franks'
trial would have come on his wife went to Mr. Ken: ick
to request his forbearance. Mr. Kenrick's answer was,
that he would write to the gaoler; and if he found
that he acknowledged his offence, and expressed con- '
onion, he would exert himself in Court to procure a
lenient sentence." Now this, it was said, bad been
offered, because Mr. Kenrick knew he was innocent,
and was anxious to induce him to plead guilty..—
With Kenrick's promise to do this with respect to the
sentence, Frank's wire was not sat'sfied. She said, "It
this happens we are still ruined. My husband is a sub-
Isce iber to a benefit society ; and by the laws of the so-
ciety. if he is convicted of felony, he forfeits all benefit
from the subscriptions which we have been paying."—
Mr. Ktnrick then thought that the man bad suffered
enough. lie wrote to the Clerk of the Peace fur the
county to know if the recognis-ance could be with-
drawn. Oa•finding that they could not, he forebore to
appear himself at the trial, and kept away the material
witness; and the result, as he wished, was, that the pri-
surer was discharged. put It was, doing Mr. &mink almost in.
justice to enter into this kind of detail, when no ease—he was
lsbund to say this, and he was sure that the House would agree is
it—had been reasonably establlblied against him. No man could
feel more strongly than he diskthe importance of keeping tie seat
of justice pure • but he could see nothing like a charge made out
against Mr. Keurick to warrant the House is adopting suck a
resolution as the Hon. Member for Nouinghaat (Mr. Denman)
calkd for.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL said a few words • bat the rued
cry of '• awake made their meaning anlntellihk in the gallery.
Me. DEN MAN shortly Aid he should withdraw his modem—
`(Cries of •• Hear, hear?) By the cheers of the Right Hon. Gem
demist. it appeared to him (Mr. Denman) that they seemed to
consider Watts a species of triumph ; but he could tell the House
that nothing had transpired to shake his Ant estavictioa. He had
done his duty—he had called the attendee of the House tithe
,transaction ; and in doing so be thought he bad done but right.
The motion was then segatived without a division.
The Order of the Day was neat read.

WAVY CSTIMA Tit..

Mr. Itacomm brought op the tteport of the Committee of &sp.
!ply. On the mottos; that the Report be read,
Sir F. OLMNIANNEY complAieled of the hardships
,to which the widows of. Assistant Surgeons were sub-
jected, particuLnly tiro of them, for whom the Hon.
Member had endeavoured-in to obtain redress; o
the relative situ.siion of Pursers and Captains' Clerk.,

the Admiralty having ho power to reward litter, iri
consequence of thi regulation which forbad more
Parsers to be appointed thin there were ships. The
Hon. Men berg roe notice of his intention to move for at
return of the number of Assistant Surgeons Widows
who bad applied for pensions between 1803 and 1809
—the time when the new regulations were curled into effect.—
The Report was then ordered to bt read.
On the part being read relative to granting 50,000 men for the
service of the Navy, including 90u0 itlar hies,
Mr. HUME- said he hid heard nothing yet to con-
vince him that these large establish inents were necessary.
When these estimates were framed, the Ministers could
not have eontemplated the circumstances under 'which
`the country was now being placed ; end he regretted
that none of them were present, as he had hoped that
they would have given a promise to reconsider the
subject. If the House would not support hina. the
ginisters were right to do as they did in Aeping uls
these enormous establishments; but he thi.uld do his
duty, and enter his protest against them. As far as hi
could understand the speech of the Honoirable Gentle.
man who. preceded him, it appeared that he had taken
two widows under his eipecial protection—(a
who had claims upon the Admiraky, but could not
obtain satisfaction. It was useless for any ierosos to apply
in that cleaner who were not backed by family interest.
Young men who had the support of the aristocracy were
continually hoisted over the heacis of old and deserving
officers, for the sake of being afterwards pensioned off
upon the State. He sa* this every day, and was sorry to
say that the mass of the Nobility regtitarly put their
ravager sons into the army and navy in order to m rite
prevision for them •bt pensions' paid nut of the taxes
attracted from a miserable and starving people. Ilse
called on • the House to consider what might speedily
be the result of that distress, and not to vote away mil:-
lions that were to be squandered on the already opts-
lent, when the great mass of the people had not bread
to eat. He.should therefore conclnde by moving an
Ausendmeor, to the following effect Th it_ the
House cannot take into its consideraton the Report on
the Committee of Supply on the Naval Bstimatcs,recom-
mending the sum of 1,638,0001. for the Service of the
Navy, without referring to the Report of the Select
Finance Committee of 1818, the Eighth Reprrt, and to
the following words:—' Always bearing in mind, that
not ships and stores and military arrangements are
alone necessary for the safety, or for the glory of the
country, in the event of war ; but thatioances recruited
during peace, and wealth and industry generally dif.
fused through the nation by all practicable savings
of eXpense, and consequently diminution of burdens,
are at least of equal importance; while they tnaittly
contribute towards the happiness and comfort of all
Glasses of society at the present time; and that, in eensegoenee, the
House recommend the Campine, to the Estimates, and
reduce them so as to_ be marcesisable m t tt present state of the
country."
Lord JOHN RUSSELI. seetmdeil the motion. Er
tramline', he was sorry to observe, prevailed in all the Ruimatei;
lithos* for the Army even more than in thou for the Navy and
he should, with the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, divide
the House on the amendment.
On the question being put, • -
Sir G. COCKBURN said, that the naval force in
many quarters could not be reduced without' great
discontent and injury to the mercantile interest. 'There
were few places abroad where a trade with this country
was carried on that did not feel the necessity of pos-
sessing the protection of our :hips of war. Those who
were connected With the Admiralty, as he was, -could
have no desire for an augmentation *of force..-inch
augmentations caused them trouble, and if they mettett
consulted their own Convenience, they would seek to
have as little to do as possible; but they felt bound to
consider the public interest rather than their o a n case.
The House, he trusted, would recollec., that our tt'ade
in the Mediterranean stood in need of pro wino ; it was
in danger, from the aggressions of bath the belligerent
parties. It was with great delight and satisfaction
that he had it in his power to assure the House, that our
naval officers—though it could not be expec...a that

they should prove ern nest diplomatists---ii.id con-
ducted themselves on many trying occasions with most
laudable skill nod discretion; and had managed their
intercourse with such dexterity, as to have preserved the
honour and dignity of the country untaniished, at die
same time that the best understanding was preserved
with the powers in whose neighboorhood they were
stationed. He was sure that House would require but
bide consideration to concur with him, that the naval
force of the country could not be less than the amount
proposed, without doing infinitely more mischief than
the sum laved would be sufficient to compensate for.—
The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had spoken of the pre-
ference shewn to Members of distinguished families in
the disposal of favours at the Admiralty. This charge
be distinctly denied. No one who applied to bins for an
interview ever experienced a denial, nor were just claims
ever overlooked, even though they might come without
the recommendation of ramify connexion. In fact, fa-
mily connexion received from him no attenti•n. The
most pleasing reward that could be bestowed en a father was to
confer promotion on his children ; and this he soomived to be ao
unfair mode of proceeding. •
Sir C. COLE expressed his conviction that the Ad-
miralty displayed the otmost fairness and impartiality in the pro-
motion of °lacers. He bad himself represented to the Lords the
cases of two sons of Officers, and they had been advanced in con-
sequence. Having himself served in the Indian fitas, he might
he allowed to express his surprise fhat the naval force on that sta-
tion was at an times so small ; it extended over one quarter of. the
globe, from the coast of Arabia to the Pacific Ocean. lie bast
commanded some frigates off the coast belonging to the Buttner,
and he knew enough of it to be able to assert, that the assistance
of ships or war and boats would be most valuable. 41ti silt the
stations it was necessary to keep a considerable naval force [oh' the
protection of the trade of t►is country, and no whets was its pre-
►ence more required than in the Mediterranean.
Mr. WYVILL bad great pleasure in voting for the
amendment of his Hon.,Friend (Mr. Home) in order to compel
Ministers to observe the strictest economy.

Mr. ROBERTSON supported the Amendment. lie
wu nrprised that no Alinistu was in the House to account for the
increase which appeared in the euirnates. The Lords et the Ad-
miralty bad nut given an adequate cause for the increase. Naysl
force was not wanting in India. There was no utility to be de-
rived from the employment of seamen in the Burmese war.
Mr. CROKER said, he had that morning received
front the Comotander-in-Chief in India, dispatches, stating that I.e
had collected a force on the River Ransoms, and w•s to Preeeeti
immediately with an expedition against the enemy, consisting of
snore that 1,600 men. This proved beyond a doubt chit naval
faces were useful in India.

Mr. HERRIES was surprised at the course pursue.l
by the Hon. Member opposite, as his resolution would, if carried,
have the effect of stopping the entire supply. There was no divi-
sion the Committee, no objection made there to this partlesslar
'apply; and yet the lion. Gentleman wished by a general mea-
sure to get rid of it. 'lle lion. Member had regretted that V.-
I misters were not in'their places in esplain the cause of Ifl atitnteuta-
/ion to the navy. There was no occasion (or mwth-usplakstioo ,it
