NOTTIIIGHAMCOMMITTEE, MARCII B—The pro-
ceedings of this day were dininguithed by the corn
mitting to the cunody of the Serjeant at Arms of
Mr. F— 5--, a tradefman of confiderable
ie-
fpefiability, and, is we underftand, of very large
property in the town of Nottingham, for prevari-
cating in his evidence before the Committee. He
was examines to a variety of very important and
material fatts,but the aniwers to the qualions put
to him were altogether incontinent and contradic-
tory. The Committee &fired the whole of the
evidence leo be read over by Mr: Goat: ay, the
Short-hand-writer for the Houfe of Commons.—
At particular paffages the Chairman earneilly re-
commended the witnefs to correet and explain what
Ire had fwoin. It seas not the with of the Com-
;Once to entrap him—but rather to allow him full
time to recollect himfelf. The witnefs, however,
perfifted in the truth of what he had (worn.
The Committee determined to adjourn in order
to decide upon the teftimony he had given, and in
the mean time he was dented not to leave the
Court. The Court retired for about half an hour,
and on the return of the Committee, the Chairman,
(I. H. Bsown e, Etq.) addrefed the witnefs in
there terms :—" Mr. I am very lorry
I am not commiffioned to give you an admonition
alone, fevere as that admonition mutt have been ;
but the Committee have resolved, that you- have
wilfully prevaricated in your evidence ; that it
ihould be reported to the Houfe ; and that you
should be immediately taken into euttody by the
Serjeant at Arms. It is fo very material, the
delivering of true, continent, and good evidence,
before a Committee; and the crime of calling Goo
to withers that which cannot be truth, is fo great
and heinous, that it is abfolutely neceffary to come
to a fevere refolution. The Committee have acted
on the impreflion your evidence has made on their
minds, without any knowledge of your charther
and life. Believing that yon are in a fittration, the
confiderationof which would have been favourable
to you, it, however, thinks that your charaCter,
rank, and Ration in Society, render your offence
infinitely more aggravated. I fpeak this merely
of my own accords all that I am commi&oned to
do is, as Chairman of the Committee, and by the •
authority of the Committee, to commit your perfon
to the cntiody of the Serjeant at Arms."
Mr. Clemeatfou, the Serjeant at Arms, was
fent far, but as he was attending the Speaker, he
could not coma; Le therefore deputed Mr. font.,
the Meffenger, who was ordered to take charge of
the witnefs.

Mr. Jones raid it was neeeffary for hint to have
an order from the Committee; upon which the
tc.llowing refolution was entered on the minutes by
te Short-hand Writer, and a Copy _delivered tot
t'..e Me Irenger.
Reinidei—That F— S—. the witnefe, has been guilty
of wilful prerar.eation in his evidence before the Cenunittis,
and that he be committed to the cultody of the bajeatit at
Arms."

The witnefs was taken out of Court dy the Mef•
itnger, and the Chairman afterwards proceeded
to the Houle of Commons, to make his report of
the eircumflanccs.

Refped far the Committee, and delicacy towards
the individual, prevent us from mentioning the
name, or the fide for which he was produced.
