on the part of Mr. Martin. I bad not been five minutes In the,

Mr. HOBHOUSE said. that, with all posh& defereace far this

this was a matter in which the Hesse was at all called on oe hoer.

r. J. GR ATTAR thought that the Petitioner himself top
peered to be the aggressor.
Sir J. YORKE said, the question Was not whether the parties
were at a hundred mike distance from each other when this threat-
ening took place ? The first offence might have been taken, in con-
sequence of the Petitiearr's refusal to slake hands with Mr. Ffrenth;
but that the Home had nothing to do with: They were to take
care, that all persons coming as witnesses should have due protect
don, sod he would, therefore. support the motion.
Mr. A BBRCROMBY said,that no doubt the House ought,
and would, acrid protection to all witnesses; but this transaction
did nut appear to him to be such as required their interferetice.--
. There had been a format quarrel. and unbecoming words had been
used g but the Civil Power bad interfered, aid rendered the is.
Impeffilon. of the House unnecessary. As the ponce was found
• ,•t to settle it, he thought the Haase Would only waste their
•Witl by. entefing 'into any discussion of the quarrels between
*thou parties, and that they should not take any timber nodes of
• dm matter:
Mr. LITTLETON agreed with his Hen. Priem! (Mr. Aber-
eromby) in his view of the case, especially as nothing had been
done which at all interfered with any proceedings before the House.
The whole matter arose merely from the discourtesy of the Peti-
tioner. and did not, in his opinion, require the notice tithe HUN*.
Mr. SPRING RICE/ thought, that perhaps be ought not to
say any more, as bit duty was confited to the presentation of the
Petition. He could net, however, admit the propositions of nine
Honourable Members, that obisevaa.not a subject which called for
the interference of the House; on the contrary, If the
laid down were admitted, and acquiesced in by them, 111116:T1:
doubt they would lead to verj Sad constipating.. If insulting
words to witnesses in attendance were permitted, and this &m-
-uting of the House's mat-interference, because no blows were
aunt, promulgated, he admitted it would lead to confusion.—
Another Hon. Member had said, that because the police and the civil
authocitles interfered, theliouse had nothing to du with the matter;
but this doctrine he considered monstrous arid untenable. The
object be had in view was, that all patties and witnesses should
know that the House would interfere no such foces.d.•. at the
,Moickest possible notice; and that the knowledge of this might pro
• vent all such occurrences as•rhat before the House. in future. He
• had no wish to call up the Gentleman who was complained vilest;
.;•• • but of two things hews% certain, that he would have been guilty of
a dereliction of his duty. if be had not presented the Petition; and
- • he waralso sure, that the House bed a right to institute an lapin
C into the affair which had occurred. He was also stare, that even it
• 'the /louse went as further, this proposition for an inquiry would
• have the meet beneficial effect.
Mr. C. W. WYNN said, that as the petition had been brought
before the House. if they passed it by entirely, they would act as if
no insult bad been offered to the House. It bad been said, that
' the witness bad given the first lank, and so he had, if shaking
bawls were to be a compulsory act upon a Gentleman. lie thought,
however, that something should he done by the House, and he
thought it would be sufficient if the party complairotagafut wore
to be admonished by the Speaker at the bar. It had also been
'motioned, that the civil power had interfered, and that the matter
was to go no further ; but Low was it to go no further 7—And he
also begged to know if the House passed this by without notice,
whether they extended that lair protection whisk was due from
them ed w)tocases attending in obedience to their commando? Ho,
therefore, submitted, whether it would not be the better course to
have the party called up and admonished?
?!r. A.BEItC 0

Coned the interference of the police, he did not mean to lay down
the doctrine, that the House could not interfere; bat he maintained
that this was a matter exclusively tor the police, uoless the Ham

. Mr. BERNAL said, that the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr.
Wynn) bad argued this, as if it were a breach of privilege' but he
could out look on it in that light, as not one word had psesed bo.
twren the parties respecting evidence before the House, nor was
ohne any circumstance or allusion bearing lemon it. If the Right
Hon. Gentleman, whose memory was stored with precedents,
could lii3l a parallel case, in which such severity was used, as that
proposed towards Mr. Drench, namely, calling him to the Bar, be
(Mt. Bernal) would submit. It would be different it the Corn-
. 'Mitre had been sitting ; and that, in consequence of what had been,
• or was to be deposed, a squabble bad ensued.
• Mr. &Dreier); PEEL said, that, in the first place, he had net
areio)ed the advantage of hearing the examination of the Witaxe•
at the bar, but, from what he had beard, it rather appeared to
bias that the evidence did not entirely support the allegation' of
the Petition. It was certainly questionable whether the party
- who had petitioned the House had exercised a sound discretion
it-. dwi:g so? but he had done so, and had stated that he was
iiisei:Lo. After the sviihrne tibial bad been given. he ( Mr.
Peol; thooght that a very slight notice on ,be part nt the !louse
wand be 'sufficient. but be was of opinion that both plans should

Irate For his interferences and in order to prevent any such mire-
deo in future, he &might the better cowls would be to admonish
Omit parties.
Mr. HOBLIGUSE thought that the mere circumstance of being
alba before the House to be admonished was. in Itself, a consi-
sts",
VlJitilittrl MORE observed, that two witnesses had be
'Mr before the House, and see charged the other with insult-
ing him. The accusation, founded os this, only comes before the
House on the statement of one of the parties.. The House ought to
do justice to both. This it could not do without heating both, fee
which purpose they should both lursuswisoned to the bar.
Mr. Alderman WA ITH ld A N coesidered titki .a most anises
subject, if the House set any value upon maintaining its MS mho.
rity, and enforcing the respect which was its due. In almost every
private- case, insults of thip kind wars frequently given and re-
ceived ; and he thought the House would compromise its owe dig-
nity if it were too ready to notice them. At Ara the Petition
seemed to bear rather a sesame mat; however, the 'eidetic* by Ito

jest .wes 'twice on the books, but he was prevented from
'bringing it on by some of those chances which some-
times occurred io that House, and as from the press of
other business he was unsble to b ins it on before a late
period, he preferred postponing it altogether to the
present Session. It was his wish to have introduced it
at an earlier period this Year, if be could have found ,
an opportunity, but that was not afforded until the pre.
seut time, in' consequence of the great importance of
the othei subjects which had come on for. discussion,'
He was aware it was a delicate matter to bring before
the House the conduct of the Executive Crovern-
mene. is ;the management of its tinny, and it was a
subject from which be would • have refrained, but iti
importance was too great to be passed over. Its
ma*"eases, both at home and abroad, there were
iottehtet 'of iehabordinatiou sad mutiny among oar
krodlitts which did not at all effect the general chip,
-fatter WI our forces.- It was, however, important
that si 1 tech - cases should be diligently easinioed
and their c sutei gone into. This was particularly
,the case in the East, where we had- an army of astivel
troops, consisting of 150,000 men, commanded by
English Officers, besides 25,000 English troops. Itl
would be admitted, that we held India by a small foree
compared with the numerical strength of the native in-
habitants,and it was of great importance that the moral
chakacter and influence of our European Officers should
be.upbeld, in order to carrying on the business of• the
country. It would be recollected, that the circum-
stances of out dispute with the Burmese in the year
1824, required the assembling of a strong force on
eastern frontier. For this' perp9se the 47th Native Regi-
ment was marched from Futtigur to Bairackpoor, to
be lions thence marched td Chittagong. The refusal
of that regiment to march bad, it would be remem-
bered, led in the destruction of 500 of their numberio
less than one hour. Now, there. were.two questions to
be considered in this case; first, wbat wait the cause of
this insubordination? and secondly, whether; before
this desperate measure was resorted to, such means were
adopted as were calculated to bring the deluded men
back to their - duty by gentle methods? The Hoe.
Member, after eulogising the good conduct, disci-
pline, and bravery- of the native troops, which be
described as in general very little inferior to our own,
proceeded to observe, that the 47th
_Regiment had come
down from Futtigur, a march of 1,000 miles, with.
a single deserter, though it was known that. there
existed at that time in tU•Bengal army a considerable
objection—i sort of religious dread of the service against
the Burmese. This fidelity to their corps was a proof
the good discipline that prevailed amongst them.
They ca)me down from Futtigur, and• were, es he had
Mid, ordered to march to Chittagong. Ptevious to that
reline, the desertion from some corps had amounted to
101Yet1100'inen—a strong proof of the general *Emil.
Eigness of the native troops to "retired on that enter-
tain and dangerous servteit. It was id this state of
things that the 47th Regiment war ordered to much
from Barrackpoor. On the 23d of October, represen-
tations were made by the men to Colonel Cartwright,
their Commanding Officer, and by him to the Com.'
mender-in-Chief, stating, that it would be inspossibial
for them to move at the time appointed foesbeir tnarehp
*inlets they were supplied with the ordinary means of
wariest and conveyance. Whether those representis
tions found their way to the Commander-in-Chief,

and from him te the elovernor.Geoeral•in-Cooncil, he
was at present ignorant, and one of his reasoner for
bringing forward his motion as_ peseta was to have
his• Ignorance on that point removed. The fact, he
believed, was, that as the time of marching arrived,
great anxiety was displayed by the troops to obtain
the ordinary means of carriage. Finding that they
could not obtain it, they urged the necessity of de.
laying their march till ',it scald be obtained. Now,
bst• begged leave to state to the House, • that the
troops which had been' sent, from' the presidency at
Madras had obtained, owing to the careful Provision of
Sir T. Moaro, all the comforts and conveniences Which
were denied to 'the troops in the Bengal presidency.
On learning that ciicumstante,She troops at Barrack-
poor-called for additional iatta. :My were told they
could not have it. On that answer being given them,
the Hindoos said, "If we ale to be midst coolies, or
beasts of burden, we cannot any bilker remake alliticts
—it is impossible for any men to be atones stosiiisand
soldiers." He thought that theglionsander-*
Sir E. Paget, could not be ignorant of that chum.
stance, especially if he was tightly informed; that k
had.been communicated to him at the time by Colonel
Cartwright and General Dalsell. Be that, however, as
it might, the regiment was told on the 30th of October,
that it would not receive any additional means of
carriage, and th t march it most. The annunciation
of that order drove the men to that state of insebordiaa-
tion and despair which afterwards led to such lamen-
table consequences. He must now state to the House,
osat in consequence of the difficulty of getting bull
to convey the materiel of the army to the Chittagong
frontier, an-order had been signed by the Goverrment
to send all the bullocks to Calcutta that could be pro.
cored within fifty miles of it. This order created such
a rise in the price of bullocks, that it was impossible to
purchase them at any thing like the ordinary rate. The
G.,vernment, finding that it had committed an error in
•-refusing to the troops the means of carriage which they
had demanded, came to a resolution to allow to each
regiment 2,000 in 3,000 rupees instead of it ; but at the
time the 47th Regiment was ordered to march, it could,
not base procured the necessary quantity of bullocks
for thirty thousaod rupees. Such being the state
things, the men declared, that sinless their grievances
were examined into, they would not march upon the
service to which they were ordered. On the lit of.
Nov. the Commander-in-Chief, Sir E. Paget, think.
iiig it necessary to force this corps to march, preceded
wi, h a strong force of artillery and Europeans from Fort
