Mr. WAUMONT rose for the purpose of cOereftr, ,
ing . a mistatement of the Noble Lord who had just
sat down. The Noble Lord said, he bad been assured
that there were present at the Meeting at Newcastle,
men to the amount of 700, • armed, and ready to re-,
riser the Civil force. He (Mr. Beaumont):happened
to be at a short distance from Newcastle, at the tune
the Meeting took place, and, having had an opport.
tunity of making the strictest inquiry after the truth.
he could assure Rae House, on his personal authority,
'that there was not an individual' at that Meeting whd.
had borne arms on that day—(Cheerifronethe Opp..
sitfon Benches). He must observe, that he did not
make this statement, to give art opportunity of
triumph, but for the sake of truth. ' The Honourable-
Member then stated' his intention of supporting this
Bill cub, as a temporafy measure. ,
Mr. JOHN SMITH would vote for. the Bill if it'
was temporary and local, but, as •it now stood, it
should have his decided hostility. • . ,
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it appeared now, that
notwithstanding' the pledge of the Noble Lord, the
only token of conciliation he was disposed to give,
was an assurance forthwith, that no Censorship would
be established over the Press ; that he would not
punish with felony the unfortunate persons found at-
tending the Meeting of a neighbOuring parish,. and
that he would not abolish the Trial by Joey—Wear,
hear 4 With respect to the general proposition of
the Noble Lord, that the present Bill was not an in-
vasion of the constitutional right of the subject, he
(Mr. Brougham) was entirely at issue with him. It
appeired now, that the abuse of a right was to be
deemed a sufficient ground for the removal of it; and
here he would say, that a right 'never was yet more
warmly eulogized than when it was about to be de-
stroyed. Indeed, so much had this been the custom
lately, that when he heard the melodious ptaises'of a
right, or a liberty, chaunted forth, they came the sad
prelude,' pet of its temporary quarantine, as used to
be the calk; **its eternal abrogation. But with
respect ti larg#Vo(ings he must say, whatever
alarm he felt 'at iht MS tr, the circumstances, the
probable evils of them • s, and he would go as
far as any one in reprehming .these evils, still he
could not see upon what ground. the attempt was to
be justified to put them down for ever—(Hear, hear);
He wished to ask whether, became at sortie Meeting some foolish
bed solidest speeches were uttered, that Meetings were to be
put deem t Meetiogs were often bald for the purpose of sup-
the mown* of Government and the Mites of that ,
said he asked what was to become of all these, if this
BM passed 1h its present stage ? Whit was to become of the
Miedrigs which were often held in favour of the financial inn-
ntres of the Milbsters ? Meetings in support of the Bank-meet.
Inds, for the support of all absurdities in arithmetic ? Now. at
most of the Public Meetings only very few people were answer-
able for the resolutions adopted there; and why not make the
demagogues who presided at them answerable? He was very
far from thinking that there was no ground for alarm, and that
the alarm arose from improper acts; •but he begged. Gentlemen
to consider what those acts arose from, and what sort of per-
sons they were who were in the habit of promoting alarm.—
He wished Gentlemen to look at what was done in the year
1811 s, when the same kind of alarm was spread throughout the
country ; and when a Report of the House of Lords stated that
the character of the People was changed, and that the greatest
danger existed throughout the country. At the same time, the
murder of Mr. llorsfall was particularly described and attested
by several Magistrates, and the Committee lathe Lords.believed
the whole of their statements, and for seven months no one
dared to assert that the murder of Mr. lionfall was not hailed
with savage exultation by a ferocious mob. When the Assizes
at York came on, he attended there as Counsel; and if Gentle-
' men would look at the short-hand writer's report of "the trial,
they would find that there was not a single individual present at
the time the deceased received his death wound. This reagge,
rated story would show what very little reliance was to be
placed on the exaggerated reports of horrors committed in the
remote parts of the country. It had been said, that at one
Meeting in Yorkshire, a proposal was made for a partition of
Lord Fitzwilliam's estates; and in support of this assertion no
evidence whatever was produced Yet the alarm and exagge-
ration was kept up by one part of the Press, coeducted by the
creatures of Ministers—men without principle—men of 0 w
birth—and men who were ready to bind themselves to every
kind of project which their employers might suggest, and which
they supported by every kind of misrepresentation and falsehood.
As a proof of the wO!ledis;ss and falsehood of those writers,
one of them bad amerted, some months ago, that the people
who attended a Itlee-3 er in Yorkshire, had gone there armed,
that they committed acts of treason, and that Lord Fitzwilliam,
in endeavouting to repress their violence, was shot. All this
system of misrepresentation, however, enjoyed the special fa,
your of Ministers. The Learned Gentleman next proceeded is
make comments on the anonymous evidence which had beeq
laid before the Ho. s:. He observed that Lord Fitzwilliam
was not believed in his representations, when they were made
by him, but A, B, and C, were believed—names wholly un-
known, the names of spies were believed. They talked of thou-
sands being employed at training and drilling, and that they had
fire arms; when Lord Phzwilliam only said they had pikes.
And be would ask, whether the testimony of -those spies war to
be taken in preference to the sober and respectable statement of
that dignified character? The question now was, whether such
a danger existed Is to make this memureneeessary? The Noble
Lord said, this measure only purified the Constitutico. Yes, It
would purify in the same manner as purified, by destroling.
Could any.. County Meeting exist while this Bill existed--
, The Sheriffs,. who were appointed by the Crown, might refuse
to call Meetings: the thing was done ia Essex, in Hampshire
land-Cornwall. In Hampshire, several mere a rank opposed th;
Meeting—and among the rest a Cabinet Minister, and that Ca-
binet Minister was the Duke of Wellington, to whom he and
'me whole Nation were so much indebted for restoring liberty to
all Europe ; and he hoped that that Minister would feel that he
never could retain his well-earned popularity by such courses as
those; and that be should recollect, that a Military Minister
knever would become popular if he did not support the Constitution
