HOUSE OF LORDS, DECEMBER 21.
Mr. BZOOMS brought up the Indictment Traverse Bill from
the Mouse ;A Corourons with Amendments, which, on the mo-
tion of the LostyCuatiaactoa' were agreed to, after a few
words from Loan HOLLMIDi who expressed his entire approba-
tion of thent,.titoogh ,he professed bitnself most hostile to the
other measures wiM-which the 1341 had originated.
2112111T1002 MEETINGS BILL.
This Bill being read a third time, and some ver-
bal Amendments agreed to, .
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved that it do now
paa, upon which
Lord ERSKINE rose, and said, he despaired of
making any impression pm Noble. Lords opposite, by
any objections he. could make to the measure now
under consideration. He knew it had so bound up
their under,tandirigs, that it rendered them imper-
tious.to any arguments; yet still he hacht duty to
Perform to the Public, and that should lead high to-
oppose the Bill even in this most hopeless stage. It
. appeared that Meetin?s had been held which were
dangerOus to the public peace, at which persons as-
sembled In-Military-array, attended by flags, ban-
ners, and emblems of sedition; and called by per-
sons who had aio right
.whatevir ;re do so. But he
would ask, were not the other measuits which had
been enacted amply sufficient to remedy those evils,
without resorting to the obnoxious provisions con-
tained in this Bill? It was of the greatest importance
that the Legislature Ogulkadhere as closely as pos-
sible to the old *protecting laws of the realm, and had
the amendment of his -Noble Friend (Earl Grey),
whom he regretted not to see now in his-place, been
adopted, we should have a ParliaMent unanimous in
putting down the evil, and one that would iadifce'a
confidence commensurate with -its extent—(Hear,
hear). • He would not concede the power which this
Bill provided to arty individual whatever—no, not
even to his Noble and Learned-Friend on the Wool-
sack, high as the opinion was -which he entertained
of his integrity and talents. No, he would repeat it,
he wouhi not give him such power for a single hour,
though he believed him to 'be an Angel from
HEAVEN. and that' he saw the wings peeping out
from under his gown !--:(A tarter). The gteat disease
which threatened the body politic was The distrust of
• the People in those by-whoin they are governed. And
had the people nb'grievances tocomplain of, or were
all their complaints without foundation? Yes, they
had, he would say, many grievances.to complain'of,
a 14 it was too much to charge them with sedition, if
they ventured honestly to declare their sentiments on
the occasion. lie should nordetaln their Lordships'
by reverting to the causes of the discontent which
was now so general, but it was to be chiefly found
in a protracted war of twenty-four years duration,
which had been carried on without any just or rea-
sonable object. He had himself opposed the princi-
ple upon which •this war had been continued, and
shoukl not charge persons with being seditious who
held 'precisely the same sentiments. The Noble Lord
t',en adverted to the subject of Universal Suffrage,
and read a letter of Horne Tooke's, written in 17n,
to shear that it was incompatible with just maxims
of jurisprudence. He thought, however, that the
People ought not, on that account, to be precluded
from expecting a salutary improvement in the repre-
sentative system, and be expressed his obligation to.
Lord John Russell for what he had done towards it
in the other House of Parliament. Referring to the
period of 1795, he contended that there was then, in
the language of Mr. Burke, " a more pestilential
blast of libels than at present," and at that period
the circumstances of the times were essentially dif-
ferent. and might warrant measures of greaterseve-
rity than ought now to be enacted, as there existed a
determined conspiracy to overthrow the Govern-
?tient. He was not prepared to defend the conduct
of Mr. Hunt, hut he cookd not help saying, that his
arrest was illegal, because no 'riot had occurred at
the time it took place. Whatever might be the ex-
tr..nt to which disturbances were carried in particular
districts, lie still maintained that the great majority
of the People were sound and loyal, and believing
them to be so, he should oppose the Bill.
The Earl of DARNLEY expressed his satisfaction

that improvements had been made in the obnoxious
measures which the Government had proposed, and
repeated his opinion that the necessity of them
would have been precluded had the existing laws
been duly administered. He was satisfied, at the
same time, that such Meetings as the one held at
Manchester, ought not to be tolerated, as the conse-
quence must be the total subversion of all Govern-.
ment. Yet the People were justly indignant that no
'itluiry had been instituted into the proceedings at
Manchester, while the Ministers pertinaciously re-
Ilised.it. With revect to Annual Parliaments and
Universal Suffrage,y he was convinced their effect
must be -to create universal- anarchy ; though the
Government ought not, on that account, to adhere
to abuses, or oppose such a system of moderiite arid
rational Reform, as he was convinced would satisfy
the great mass of the People.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH, as having suggested
sortie Amendments in this Bill, aud the others that

had recently come before the House, and as having
voted in support of the measures generally, while he
meant to give his support to the present one, was
anxious t. explain to their Lordships the motives by
which he had felt himself actuated. No individual
could be more fully convinced than he was, that the
danger with which the country was threatened re-
quired to be met with firmness ; but the great object
of the new measures was to secure that union so ne-
cessary among all classes, -and this' desirable end
could be attained only by dealing- as gently and fa-1
vourably as was consistent with die peculiar nature
of those circumstances in which the country was
placed. The great evil was, that at present the right
of Meeting was not free, because persons intruded
`themselves who were utter strangers, and eould have
nOtoncern xvhatever in the business to be discussed.
Yet every period'of our history afforded 'abundant,
iproofs of the advantages derivable from the right of
the People to meet freely. It was this right which
formed the strength upon which the whole fabric of
could the
it cherished
-independ-
, was of the
afforded to
accurate esti-
and thereby

adopting measures accordingly. But the right of
meeting freely could ndt be consistint with such
Meetings as:those at Manchester and Newcastle,
where the People were out-voted by large masses of
disaffected persons. It was very. easy for such a
small minority of persons so to intrude themselves as
to -give the semblance of numbers to
,their party,
while the sense of the People, generally, could not be
taken. It was now to be considered what Meetings,
were to be prevented by this Bill, and what Meet-
ings it left untouched. It did not in any respect in-
terfere with these Meetings which the Constitution
recognized. But What Meetings did it prevent ? It
prevented Meetings similar to those at Manchester
and Newcastle, where there was a shew of intimida-
tion, by the display of physical force—(Hear, hear).
The Noble Lord concluded by urging the necessity
of instituting a strict inquiry into the causes of the
existing discontents.
Earl GROSVENOR said, he held in his hand a
Petition from the inhabitants of the City of West-
minster, praying that they might be exempt from
the operation of the Bill. A Noble Earl opposite,
(Harrowby) had, on, a former night, contrasted the
propriety of their conduct with that by which other
popular assemblies were marked ; and they might
fairly presume, with such testimony in their favour,
to send the Petition, which he had to submit, to their
Lordships. (Here Lord* HARROWIIif intimated his
dissent from the assertion made by the Noble Ear}).
It appeared that the Noble President. of the Council
did not admit ,havin*. paid any such tribute to the
inhabitants of Wiivninster, iet thiy might be per-
fectly justified in sending this Petition, independently
of it ; and it was his intention to move, as an
Amendment, that the further consideration of the
Bill be adjourned, for 44.0rpose of:adding a clause
to it by way of rider, . .
The Earl of LI VERPOOVrose to order, and said,
that the Noble Earl could not move such an
Amendment, though he might make one when the
question was put on the- motion before the House,
which was, that this Bill do pass.
Lord HOLLAND said, it was competent to his
Noble Friend to. move, as an Amendment, that the
debate be adjourned, for the purpose of inquiring into
the merits of the Petition.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the
Amendment, if so moved, would certainly. have been
in order.

The LORD .CHANCELLOII; upon the point of
order, agreed with his Noble Friend. The stage
was gone by when the introduction of a clause could
be moved. The present question was merely for the
passing of the Bill. The debate might be adjourned,
but not for the introduction of any clause whatever.
The Noble Earl might move an adjournment of the
debate; but even if that were agreed to, it could have
no influence on the ulterior question.
Earl GROSVENOR again stated the course he
meant
.to have adopted, had their Lortiships permit-
ted it, which was to have moved for an adjournment
of the debate, for the purpose of examining the con-
tents of the parchment which he held in his hand.
The people of Westminster hid claims to exemption
which others had not-4°r •they had at all times be-
haved at their Meetings in a constitutional manner.
The Noble Earl again adverted to some observations
which had bccn made cn the subject on a former
night, by a Noble Earl whom he saw in his place.
The Earl of H A It ROW BY was against receiving
the Petition, as it ought 'to have been presented at an
earlier stage of the proceedings. He could appeal
to those Who had heard him on a previous night, to
say if any thing which had fallen from him _could
bear the interpretation given to it by the Noble Earl.
He could not T;ow bring to mind what he 'did say,
but be knew very well what he did not say. With,
respect to those Meetings recently held in Westmin-
ster, they were altogether different from those held
at a former period. They were nbt then convene
in the open air, but in Westminster Hall, and none
had a right to speak but those who paid taxes.
Earl GROSVENOR said, he should not press for
the clause, or rider, he had alleded to.
The Earl of 13LESSINGTON said, that when be
pressed their Lordships to exempt Ireland from the
operation of this Bill, he did so under an impression
that tbe, measure was not in any re Tect qualified for
Ireland. Notwithstanding all the grievances, the fa-
mine, and the oppression which Ireland had laboured
under ; and notwithstanding that Act, which he
should ever contemplate with horror—he meant the
Union Act—notwithstanding all those Acts, that
Country was still tranquil, and *acknowledged to be
so by Ministers ; yet why should Ministers insist on
extending this Bill to Ireland, where nothing occur-
red that could justify the measure ? At the time of
the Union, promises had been made to Ireland which
were since broken : it was promised to the Protestants
that no concession should be made to the Catholics;
and a promise was secretly held out to the Catholics,
that they should be emancipated ; all this was done
to obtain their consent to the Union ; and after the
Union was obtained, the .promises were no longer
thought of. This was another great cause of discon-
tent in Ireland. There was one cther point to which
he would allude—and that was the oppression. aris-
ing from the still-fine system. Now, as to the
Bill before the House, it would give rise to nothing
but corruption and abuses ; apd in Ireland, would
have no other effect than that of producing confusion,
bloodshed, and ruin. As, however, he could not now
expect to induce their Lordships to make any altera-
tion in this Bill, he-gave notice, that shortly after the
recess, he should move for
.the appointment of a
Committee to inquire into the'itate of Ireland.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL felt it necessary to say
a few words in reply to what had fallen from the
Noble Earl, respecting Ireland. It was admitted by
all persons, that this Bill could not operate to the
prejudice of Ireland. With regard to the Act of
Union, he would ask the Noble Earl, Whether, at this
time of day, it was a fit subject to be brought for-
ward for discussion ? He was at a loss to know
where the Noble Earl obtained his information re-
specting breaches of promises to the Catholics and
Protestants of Ireland; but he could assure the No-
ble Earl,'that fortunately there was a document now
in existence, which was a complete record of all that
had passed on the subject of the Union. It was the
speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman who had
first prOposed the Union—the speech which he made
on that occasion—and•which had been revised by
himself (the Earl of Liverpool). In this speech there
was not one word of any promise to any piety is

Ireland; the proposer of the Union sot only btu out
no- promise, but he disclaimed doff% so. • With re-
gard to the assertion, that this Country had done no-
thing for Ireland, be wished the Noble Earl to look
at the Journals of the House, and he would see that
this Country had taken upon herself the whole debt of
Ireland, which the latter Country was bound to pro-
vide for; and the Noble Earl would also find, that
Ireland had never been burthened with the Property-
tax during the whole time that the tax was paid by
England. With regard to the still system, it was not
his intention at this time to enter into the question,
whether the system was good or bad. But he must
observe, that at the time when his Right Honourable
Friend, who was now Master of the Mint, during
his Administration in Ireland, moved for the repeal,
of that system, the whole body of Irish Members
called loudly for its re-enactment; and, therefore, it
could not be such a system of oppre*ion as was de-
scribed by the Noble Earl.
The Earl of BLESSINGTON, in explanation,
said, that the quantity of property expended in this
Country by Irish Gentlemen, since the Union, to-
gether with the discount of sixteen or seventeen per
cent. paid on the same, was equivalent to a Property-
tax in Ireland. With regard to still fines, he differed
on that subject from other Irish Gentlemen.
. The Bill was then passed.
The Irish Elections Bill went through a Corn-
mittee.—Adjourned at Eight o'Clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS
Mr. MA BERL Y gave notice, that he would to-morrow move
for Papers shewing die total amount of the Revenue of Oreat
Britain, from the sth January to the stlr October, in the pre-
sent year; also, for an account of the sums paid on the new
duties, and for a long series of financial documents which he
enumerated.
He also gave notice, that immediately after the recess be
would move for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Duties
on Exported Linen, which would expire in March, 1820.
Mr. LYTTLETON gave notice, that he would to-morrow
move for leave to bring in a Bill similar to that which he had
introduced in the last &ohm of Parliament, to prevent unskil-
ful persons from acting as _Conveyancers. He did not propose
to proceed with the Bill before the Holidays. He wished to be
allowed to bring it in, that it might be printed, end left opal for
the consideration of Members during the recess.
Mr. LUSHTNGTON presented certain Papers ordered by
the House, sbewing the amount of the Funded and Unfunded
Debt, and the Capital crcated.—Ordered to ha on the table.
COURT OT EXCHEQUER.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose,
pursuant to the notice that he had given on the pre-
ceding day, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for
the better securing of Monies and Effects paid into
the Court of Exchequer. The subject had beets al-
ready more than once before the House, and being
one of great importance, he thought it would be de-
sirable to bring in the Bill now, that it might be read
a first and second time, printed, and then left open
for consideration till after the Holidays. He pro-
posed by this Bill to make an arrangement in the
Court of Exchequer similar to that which had given
such great satisfaction in the Court of Chancery.
The piovisisns of the Bill, when understood, would,
he thought; meet with the general approbation of the
House. It went to appoint an Accountant-General
and two Masters, who were to take account of all
Monies and Effects paid in on account of suitors
in the Court of Eichequhr. The details of the Bill,
however, would best explain the particular provisions
which were thought desirable, and he should there-
fore confine himself to moving for leave to bring in
a Bill for the better securing Monies and Effects be-
longing to suitors in the Court of Exchequer, and for
appointing an Accountant-General and two Masters
to the said Court.
Mr. CALCRAFT wished to know how the Officers
to be appointed were intended to be paid ? He hoped
they were not to look for their emoluments from di-
viding the brokerage of the Court, as was done in the
Court of Chancery. If the Officers in question were
necessary, they aught to -have proper salaries al-
lowed them, and if the brokerage of the Court could
be done for less than the usual charges, the suitors,
ought to have the benefit of the diminished expense.l
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, as the Bill 'stood at present, the Masters and ,
the Accountant were to be paid partly by salaries,
and partly by certain fees which were to be allowed
them. The salaries were to be paid out of what was
called the dead money of the Court, and would thus
cause no expense to hethrown on the Public.
Mr. CALCRAFT had nothing to object to the ge-
neral plan of the measure. To him it appeared a'
very proper one, and he was only surprised that it
had not been sooner resorted to, All he meant to
say was this, that some fixed salary ought to be
granted to the Accountant, and he ought not to be
compelled to look for his remuneration,, as the Ac-
countant-General of the Court of Chancery did, by
dividing profits with the Broker of the Court. It
would, in his opinion, be much better to give them
salaries at once, than to have recourse to such an ob-
jectionable mode of paying-for their services.
Sir J. GRAHAM was extremely anxious that the
Bill should be brought in, and that it should pass.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER im-
mediately brought it in, and it was read a first, and
ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.
THE NATIONAL DEBT AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.'
. Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM seeing a Right
Honourable Friend of his in his place, wished to ask
him a question, which, however odd and absurd it
might seem, it was of considerable importance that
he should answer. That an answer should be given
was of great importance to the labouring part of the
population in Lancashire. where a report had been
industriously circulated, that it was the intention of
Government to take the money belonging to the
Savings Banks and the Friendly Societies, in order
to apply it towards paying off the National Debt—
(A laugh).—Absurd as this story was, it had been
malignantly sent abroad, and it had seen unfortu-
nately caught up by Many persons who were igno-
rant of the fact, that Government had not the power,
ifit had the inclination, to apply the Funds alluded
to in any such manner. The circulation of this
calumny had caused the breaking up of many Friendly
Societies—had induced others to draw their money
out of the Savings Banks, and had, in short. pro-
duced consequences that were seriously injurious to
that part of the country of which he had chore parti-
cularly spokes. For himself, it was unnecessary
that he should state that he was quite aware that
couldlare no intention of attempting any
thing of that kind. lie itisew whenee.ile-story had
ptoceedcd—he knew that it had been invented and

circulated by interested individuals to fie-ward
own mischievous views. The tale, however,
seemed to receive a colouring from the provi""
tained in an Act of the last year regulating
Banks, which went to authorize certain payment
be made to the Commissioners for Redeemin,,
National Debt. He knew that this ought rot 7
viewed with suspicion, and he had denied 1
vernment had any intention of touching the Fin,
question, but his denial passed for nothing
therefore he hoped the Chancellor of the EX
would have no objection to answer the I
which he thought it right to ask, namely,
it was the intention of Government to appr,
the monies deposited in Savings Banks, and
belonging to Friendly Societies, to pay off
tional Debt?
. - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
that, even after the experience he had of the t
cessary and absurd speculations which had been
seminated in the country from time to time, be
not prepared to expect such aquestion as tle,
put by his Honourable Friend.' There was

Mr. BROUGHAM remarked,
