aificeJ—(Hear, heal). But for the strong impress,
of his mind on this head, he could almost have
load that many of the Hon. Gentlemen, who book
tpahen tonight, should meet in Committee, in order
to see how they would reconcile and settle their
weicring theories. • Pahang, for example, the

for the landed interest as a free trade in corn, upon the

turing daises, of the soundness of this doctrine-.-(a

achievement of which would, at least, save that House
&great deal of very laborious discussion.—(Hear, bear.)
In conclusion, he (Mr. H.) could hardly suppose any
fionnurable Gentleman was serious in proposing, on
the 14th or June, and so shortly before the proroga-
tion of Parliament, to enter upon investigations, the,
pioecution of which could only tend to throw the
cowry into confusion. The lion. Baronet should
kid; rmed, that if the Hon. Member for Shaftesbury
had postponed his motion out of regard to him (Mr.
llotbsson). he was not conscious of the Hon. Member's
landed kindness. He had certainly, by illness, been for
we time kept from attending in his place in that House,
ht the Bon. Gentleman's motion was one which might
jot as wed have been brooght on in his (Mr. Huskisson's)
soence as in his presence. He was rejoiced, however,
that, after a gestation so unusually protracted, the Hon.
Gov lenian had, at length. been delivered of an offspring,
which t,e proceedings of that evening had enabled him
to pr oar to the public in an authentic form—(A laugh).
01 the rounds he had stated, he opposed, most de.
Welly. the pr sent motion, and really thought the House
would find it better to proceed to some more specific and
pressing husiness—(Cheers).
Mr. WESTERN defended the course which he had
taken in the year 1822, and contended, that until the
foal measure of the year 1819 was repealed, there could
be no hope for the restoration of the currency of the
country upon its proper basis.
Mr. AT TWOOD said, that although not very anxious
for the Committee, he could not help saying that the
moons bought forward by the Right Hon. President
of the Beard of Trade against it, were very insufficient.
lithe principle of the Bill of 1819 was, as the Right
lion. Gentleman had stated. a sound principle; and if a
mind in to the old standard, of Si. 17s. 10d. ought to
hare .aken place.he could not see upon what fait grounds
the Right Han. Gentleman could object to a correspond-
ing redue.i in in the safeties and emoluments of public
dicers. He contended, that a reduction of price must
drays follow from a reduction in the standard; and
that the incomes of all, excepting annuitants, must, by
the simple act of returning to the old and much praised
eadard of 91. 17s. 1011. be reduced in the same pro-
portion. The Right Hon. President of the Board of
Trade told them, that the distress of 1818 had followed
from all v.'r production and from over trading ; but
the same distress existed in 1814 and 1815 ; and he
contended that in all cases it had been caused by
inctesitons in the currency. The Right Honourable
Gentleman had rejected the explanation given to him
by the shipowners, of the causes of the distress felt
by those connected with the shipping interest during
the years 1824,1825, and 1826, and had adopted an ex-
ploration of his. He had before told the House and
the ciontry, that this distress resulted from over-pro-
duction and over.trading, and they hal that night
said that the depreciation of the currency was by no
Skala new, but that it had existed as early as the year
1810. !he Right Hon. Gentleman teferred, with* de.
!tutor pride and pleasure, to the circumstance of his
hating, in that year, voted with a very small minority.,
This, however, was by no means strange, for it was the
practice of the Right Honourable Gentleman to treat
major iiie. with contempt.
Mr. HUSK teSON said, he felt himself called upon
*my a tew words. He appealed to the House whe-
ther it ever had been his practice to treat majorities
nth contempt? It certainly never had; but he would
ell the Hon. Member (Mr. Attwood) what he would
heat with the most protoend contempt, and that was
the tissue of misrepresentations of which his sperch con.
Mod. They were so gross and unfounded that he should
tot take the trouble to set himself right with the House.'
Mr. DAVENPORT then rose to reply.—After a few
observations upon the currency. to the tampering with
leech he attributed all the distress which had afflicted
the commercial and industrious classes, the Hon. Mem.
ber said he would not press his motion for the present,
nerving, however, to himself the right of again bring-
ing it forward at some future period. He then moved
for leave to withdraw his notice for the present Session.
The notice was then withdrawn.

also thottnitt that the case was not sufficiently boehe -out by the
evidence of witnesses. 1

Mr. A. DAWSON agreed to the lest proposition before the
,House, but nor's the second He wa• of opinion that a repri-
mand from the Speaker would answer every purpose.
Mr. S. RICE begged to correct the Hon. Goldman who just
preceded him. He did not wish to send the accused to Newgate.
The purport of his motion was, that the Serjeant at Arms should
take Mr. Monaghan into custody until the pleasure of the House
should be known. He, however, still contended that the conduct
of the person alluded to was highly culp.ble. The evidence taken
before a Committee of the House proved beyond all doubt that the
signatures to the Petition were, for the most part, forgeries.
The question was then put on the former part of the motion, and
agreed to without a division.
Mr. S. RICE then moved that Mr. Flans/ban be taken Into the
custody of the Serjeant at Arms.
The motion, after a few words frost Mr. Heats, Mr. Bisszter,
and Lord Rectums, was 'greed tan
