was only necessary, V..hich stated, that it was believed
that the party charged was guilty. In the same way
it did away with the sacred claim of a Peer to be
tried by his Peers, but he might be compelled to
throw himself upon the mercy of a common jury.
These objections to its continuance were so glaring,
that argument seemed almost thrown away.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in reply, maintained,
that the power of the Crown to pardon had been ex-
pressly taken away by Statute in certain cases, on
account of some abuses in the exercise of that prero-
gltive. He denied that the Crown ought to have the
power of pardoning in all cases of murder, and ad-
mi..ted that there might be objections to the existing
triode of appeal. He should be glad if the Bill on
the table were altered so as to remove them without
trenching upon the right, which he considered most
important, and could not be abandoned without a
struggle.
Mr. TENNYSON suggested a slight amendment,
in order that the Bill might not have an ex post facto
operation. •
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought, that as
some cases of the kind were now actually pending, it
'was fit that the Bill should Le es post facto: had the
• Cburt of King's Bench, in the case of Abraham Thorn-
ton, been obliged to order battle, it would have been
the duty of the Legislature to interpose to prevent its
being waged. He thought it right to correct a gross
error into which the 11-mourable Baronet had fallen,
-when he :melted that there was a Statute which con-

trouled the King's power to pardon in cases of mur-
der : he probably referred to the Statute of Gloucester
(ti Edward L), but that Act had a totally different
meaning : it was singular that the Honourable Baro-
net should have been so much mistaken upon a Sta-
tute so well known.

Sir F. BUItDETT observed, that he had not re-
ferred to the statute of Gloucester.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL added, that if the

iloa. Baronet had not alluded to that, he must con-
fe!.s his total ignorance of any other taking away the
ower of the Crown to pardun—he believed—he was
sure it did not. exist.
Sir F. liURDLTT read ,the words of the statute,
2 Edw. IIL c. 2. which expressly provided that the
King shall only grant pardons " in cases where the
king may do it by his oath." Ile hoped that the
Lc:trued-Gentleman would be a little more cautious
is his contradictions in future.—(Hear.)
Mr. Serjeart COPLEY apprehended that the 2d
Ld WeIII. c. 2, must have been subsequently repealed.
'lhe question was then put, that the Bill be recom-
mitted, and a division took place : the following were
the numbers—For the re-commitment 4—Against
it 86—Majority 82.
It was then ordered that the bill should be read a
third time on Monday.
Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up the Report of the Como-
hdlted Fund Produce MIL

The Ilusbarelry ilorses Bill was read a third time and paved.
;he Duke of Wellington's Estate Bill w. 13 read a third time,

WEITNIIs7f:TP.R ELECTlON.—Thursday, in the Court
of Requests, two persons, named Ali!wood and Moore,
obtained orders against Bond, a Bow-street Officer, for
the payment, the former of 13s. the latter of 1.35. as
balances due to them for their exertions at the late
Westminster Election. It appeared that Bond had
engaged twenty-five men, at .is. per day, to place
th"rnselves before the hustings, during the three last
(lays, to cry out " LAMB for ever I" to hoot :tnd hiss
Mr. llontroust, and prevent his being heard, and, if
struck to hit again. Bond admitted that he knew the
plaintiffs and said that if they had gone to the Brown
Bear on Monday last they would have been paid by
a Gentleman of the Committee, who had attended
for that purpose. The Court ordered Bond to pay
the amount, and costs, within a month.

Mr. BRAND'S excellent Bill calculated to remedy
some of the many evils produced by the Game Laws,
which have long disgraced our Statute Books, was
read a second time last night by a Majority of 110
against 83. The main principle of the Bill is to give
to every possessor of land the same right over the
wild animals as over every other kind of property it
produces. The chief argument against the Bill was,
that the preserves of game would be rendered useless
if all the small proprietors had the right to kill what
came upon their grounds. This argument is most ab-
surd—and contrary to facts. The small propriet,,rs
have every inducement, as the laws now operate, to
do every thing in their power to destroy the game
that eats up their crops ; and it is well known that
many do so—and fools they would be if they did
not. But by the proposed law the land of every
small proprietor will in fact be rendered a Preserve
for game ; because the owner will have an interest in
preserving that which it is now his direct interest to
destroy. Nor should it fc,r a moment be forgotten
that the Game Laws have produced that desperate
race of men known by the mine of Poachers, and
filed our prisons with the perpetrators of real crimes,
induced by habits, acquired in pursuits which none
felt any interest in repressing, except the monopoli-
zers of game.
