MR. SHRGRAINT ROUGH. ..
-- Sir J. MAClNTOOH4tesenied a Petition from M.
Sergeant Rough, litel-Psesident.of the Court of Justice,
Demerara. This case was one of peculiar hardship, aid
involved something of public reproach. The Petitioner,
a man of undoubted integrity, of extensive knowledge.
and legal acquirement. was appointed Presidirt of the
Court of Justice of the Colony-of Demerate,somit y.s
back. He was after wards suspended by OM Gover*..
...The case came before the Privy Coniiik who ti
'nounced the determination.ot the Goveenoeillegel *
unnecessary. Tne Petitioner. however; was thus teddced
with his family. to most teriousdifficalties. Heitnptited
so blame to any person. .He did am blame the Gower-

accuser, Sergeant &pooh was appointed in the year
1616 to that high and difficult officche said difficult,
hessasse the Dutch Jorists allowed greater force to the
Renton law than any other country. The law prevailed
'in Demerara, and Mr. Sergeant Rough, by great appli-
cation and tong study. made himself Master of it. Be-
tween 1819 and 1821, differences atom between the
Governor and.the President. He should not go into the
Mug of those dtfferences, but in the year 1821, the
Litenietiant Govettsof suspended Mr. Sergeant Hough.:'
_Then arose a new state Of4things. The Chief Jedgerwas

he was to long absent as tobreik off apt's prefeisional

tor his servicso--ae traident. He teturood to-England,
and .after two years of fruitless sissociation, hi applied to
the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Denatans To these, who
were his private friends, he stated his case, and they
gave him what appeared to them theism professional
advice. It was, intimated to him, by the-Under Seerw
tart' for the Coionies, that he might obtain redress by
application to the Privy Council. He did so apply.
and his defence was complete. The Committee of
Privy Council reported that his-suspension was illegal
and unnecessary. Bat three years elapsed before he
obtained 11n:signal vindication. During this period his
mind and time were entirely devotea to► the vindica-
tion of his character, and lie feared he was oldigeito
Mirada the provision of his
.family. Thor, aßer eight,
years, during which he was estranged from his protes-J
sion, acrd had spent much of his. private fortune, he lime,
left without any remuneration. He expected some other
appoinunent in the Colonies. but his expectations te-
maioed still unfulfilled. It was,nnder these circum-
stances that he came to the determination of applying
to that House. If he were to be left without compen-.
sation, it would be holding out, a most iojerions exam-
ple to their public fueetionaries in the -Colonies of Gems
Britain. If a man was thus lobe Anspeaded is es ar-

tion, ruined in his 'professional prospects. mined, al
deeply injured, in his private fortune, how could it be
expected tbat mental .hostour'eod abilities mould here-
after Accept of any judicial situation io their Colonies?''
Mr WILMOT-HORTON said, he should not ties-
. ~.
pass upon the House on this occasion, were it not that
the Chief Secretary for the. Colonies was prevented by
indisposition from Coming down to the House, and his
Noble. Friend. the Under Secretary (Lord F.,dower),
was not is office when these circumstances took place.
Neiiher was he (Mr. Horton) in office when the dispute
originated. It could not be denied, that the tone in
which his Right Hon. and Learned Friend brought fort'
ward the subject was asnetibitotv, but there wea some
degree- of incorrectness ins' his statement. .The.Priie
Council did not declare the suspension illegal. The
decision to which they came was, that it was not
silted.;
fled by any present necessity; but they stated at the'
same time, that they saw reason to regret the indis-
creet conduct of Mr. Sergeant Rough, upon some occa-
sions. In mentioning this, he was not influenced by any
wish to detract from his good reputation. It was not
quite correct tolsay, that all redress was refused, because
Mr. Sergeant Rough was caned by Lord Bathurst the
situation of *Chief, Justice of Dominica, which, be re-
fused. He (Mr. W. Horton) never advised him to op-
py to the Privy Voluted ; what he told him was, that
he must adopt .one of two remedies, either to bring
an act** a astute the Governor, or to apply to the
Privy Council, but that he could not have recourse
to bath at the same time. For himself, personally,
he regretted the situation hi which the Petitioner was
placed, but it must be left to the discsetioa of the Go-
vernment to appoint person to fill the high judicial
situations of the Colonies. It did not appear a mattes
with which the House.enald interferes - ,
