SEDITIOUS MEETINGS BILL.
Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH moved the third
reading of the Seditious Meetings Bill.
Lord ERSKINE said, the grounds of Ms oppo-
sition to this Bill lay in a very narrow compass.—
The questions to be considered were—What was the
actual state and condition of the Country ? and if
that were ascertained, what measures were necessary
to he ayplied to that state and condition ? With
regard tc the actual state and condition of the Coon.
I try, the information before them was insufficient ;
the eehience which was under the consideration of
the Secret Committee ought to have been communi.
cited to their Lordships, as without it they were
legislating in the dark, or what was worse, they were
suspending the liberty of the subject without any
adequate reason being established for an act ago mis-
chievous a nature—(Hear, hear).—With regard to
any ground alledged to exist for not communicating
this evidence, the reasons that operated to keep back
the evidence on a similar occasion in 1795, did not
now operate. At that period the Government had
seized the paperi of individuals, and they held several
persons in custoly against whom a charge ot treason
was actually made; reasons, therefore, fairly ope.
rated then to prevent the communication of evidence
under those circumstances, which certainly bad no
*connection whatever with the evidence recently com-
municated to the Secret Committee; and from not
communicating that evidence to the House, their
Lordships were deprived of all the means of iiitor ma-
lion that could tend to chew any necessity for the
present measure—(Hcar, near).--Where was the
proof of any danger that required the passing of such
a Bill as the present? Meetings and combinations
for seditious purposes were alledged, but where was
the proof ?-s(Htar,hear).—When he (Lord Erskine)
came to town to attend ;his duty in Parliament, he
had heard nothing of them ; no "allusion was made
to them in the speech from the Tfrone, and the tirtt
act which at all indicated any suck purpose, with
the exception of the Spa fields Meeting, 'was the
atrocious attack upon the Prince Regent when re.
turning from that House—(Hear).—With regard to
the attack upon the Regent, be should merely say
this without meaning to convey any peculiar cen-
sure or reproach upon the Ministers—that public pro-
ceuions of this nature had.been for several years past
Testy battle * managed (Hew, hear).—He was told
there were on the first day of the Session no less than
1,100 constables present, and be had no doubt what.
ever, that not only a constable, but that any indivi-
dual present, had a right to take into custody any
person who was guilty of any indecorum towards
not only the Chief Magistrate of the State, but to
any Magistrate. Why then, the laws as they stood
were amply sufficient for this offence—(Hcar, hear).
With regard to the Spa-fields Meeting, he had no
hesitation in saying, that in ten minutes after that
meeting had assembled, the Magistrates would have
been justified in reading the Riut Ast, and in subse.
quendy dispersing the meeting. For it seas not ne-
cessary to call for the enforcement of the Riot Act,
that there should be acts of riot and outrage, it was
sufficient that it was a tumultuous meeting. Why
then, in this case also, the existing laws were sufti-
cient, and what remained of danger to call for these '
extraordinary enactments?—(Hear, Ae4r).-.He ob-
jected to this Bill, because it substituted a principle
of terror for a principle of affection—because it tot-
ed directly to destroy the right of Petitioning, by
preventing Meetings for that purpose—ar.l because
it would drive the people into those secret Associa.
lions, which he thought the great object ought to be
to guard against—(Hear, hear).—Haw would the
Bill in effect operate ? In the Committee they were
entangled in different and separate provisions, and
could not so well judge of the scope of a Bill. But
how, looking at this as a whole, would this measure
.operate ? It /a effect gave to one Magistrate ap-
pointed by the Crown, the power of dispersing arty
Meeting assembled for the purpose of Petitioning.
It waearue th it a Meeting might be legally assembled
by a notice given by seven houleholders ; but what
then ? One matt at that Meeting Might chuse (from
whatever motive) to propound that they had the
power to alter the laws without the consent of King,
Lordse and Commons, in Parliament assembled.—
Here be agreed the po,wer of taking such an indivi-
dual into custody was righdye lodged; no human
being cisidd have any doubt as to the object of what
was so 'propounded. It required no knowledge of
law, but merely common sense, or rather merely the
sense of:hearing, to judge of such a proposition-.
(Hear,.lrear).-44eat came the tattering expretaions,
tend:ntto bring the person of the Sovereign into
hatred and contempt. Here also he agreed that no
Magistrate could be mistaken about the tenor of such
expressions; that language tending to bring the per-
son of the Sovereign into hatred and contempt ought
not tri be tolerated, and that the power was rightly
vested in a Magistrate to take such an individuar into
custody. But what followed? and here was the great
grievance of which he complained--( Hear, hear).-
-Suppose a Meeting to be legally assembled for the
purpose of petitioning the House of Commons for a
-Reform in the Representation, and suppose an indi-
vidual to address that Meeting in moderate aid tem-
perate language, stating-that the people were not
fairly represented in the House of Commons—that
the House of Commons was intended by the Consti-
tution to balance the power of the hag and of the
House of Lords, but that now the very people who
'were to be Winced were thou who elected a majo-
rity of the assembly that was to balance them, and
