The LORD CHANCELLOR rose for the purpose of cont.
municating to their Lordships, the result of such official informs-
tton es be bad been able to procure, in pursuance of what he had
stated as a former evening, touching the above cases. Tim Noble
awl very Learn.d l.ord paid, that some decumcnta connected
'with the promodinp which had taken place, he bad nut been able
to end; Out it appeared, that mom the IBth of April, tent, a

state, in consequence of which, Mr. ford, the Magistrate, held
' him to bell Mr his personal appearance on the fiist di/ of the
then neat ensuing term, when, at the Instance 'of the Learned
Gesekman who then tilled' the office of Attorney-General, he
was called upon for his '.cognisance, and the usual proceeding.
wane subsequently adopted against bin. With re-pect to the

11:e intormatiun against him had been hied by the late Mr, Per
cevalp.st the :props Lnef Officer of the Crown ; but in conse-
quence ef kis bubo:quern conduct, and his silos% up the publics-

Earl Okla seemed to think the inhumation respecting these
cases Which the Noble and Learned Lord had been able to pro-
cure, not sufficiently extensive to throw that light upon them
which be thought desirable. After a abort observation or two te
this reset, he advined to the eau upon which the opinion ti-
ttered to in the Circular
.I.citer of Viscouit Sidmulith was
founded, which, he was now more than ever convinced, was or.
•cessary to be laid before the House. That proceeding on the part
of the Noble Secretary of State, be was apprehensive, would be
re of the most mischievous effects, and be must consider
ritts*acironconatitutional interference on the part of the Executive
Poseeinneet. Under these impressions, be certainly deemed it

Ms:. BEMET said, that it was with great eon-
If• cern that be felt it to be his 'duty, as Chairmen of
the Committee appointed to inquire into the State of.
the Police tithe Metropolis, to bring under the con-
sideration of the House a breach of Privilege • con
tinged Sts a Book recently published, and which had
been seat to the Committee by the Author, purport.
ing to be—
, " A Vindication of the Magistrates acting in and few the Tower
Division, from the Charge• contained in a printed Worts, entitled,
' The Report et the Coussuittee on the State of the Pollee of the

the Conwaittee ot the Horse of Commons: by *1 Maus Ihiris
wall, M.A. Reece of lowers Garbed, hesat; and Magistrate
for IM Counties of Middlesea and Essex.'
Without making any comment on the general
tone of the work, which was by no means respectful
towards the Committee, he would only observe, that
several passages were so extremely offensive to the
feelings, and hosuk to the privileges of the Com-
mittee, that it was thought 6t to summon Mr. Thiel
will before them, to requite some explanation of his
conduct. When Mr. Thirlwall appeared before the
Cotnnaittee, be avowed himself to be the author of
the work he question. But before he (Mr. Bennet)
1 roceeded to state what had token place on that occa-
. Cells would request the Clerk to read from the book
