but that the House -would-Mt the other hand agree to adjourn
for any maeonabser time which might be necessary, in oruer to
enable them to proceed with their evidence, if they postimmed
their defence to a future- day."
The Marquis of LA NSl:io%thr said, that he now %Indira
stood for the ffrstiiiiie the proposition before the House, a pro-
position which aid not arise out of application from Coun-
sel, fur no such application had been made., but amounting
to a direction to the Counsel, originating with the House. Ile
was not so well acquainted with the practice of the Courts below
as the Nobit Lords in whose pretence he was speakicg, bet be!
must be allowed toetate, that, as far ashe was informed, a mini
unusual proceeding had never been recommended in a Conn of
Judicature. He would go further and say, that if her Majesty's*
Counsel were to state in answer that he would enter into no en-
gagement—that he would reserve himself open Sr his client to-
nuke any application which,-under the circumstances, he might
think necessary, he would do no more than he was bound to do•
in common justice Ti his client, and he believed that there was ~o
• Counsel who had ever appeared at that bar who would not feel it
;his duty to reject on the modvent such a proposal as tit! present.
Was it not a most _extraordinary thing for any Court to ob-
Wruct their own Proc.edang, fur the purpose of opening a
treaty, Mid concluding a bargain with the Counsel ? What
was it they purposed to do ? To enter into an engagement
that. the Counsel at their Bar should be ready to tallow lir
their statements by evidence immediately, and that, •Ims meths
and under no circumstances, he. should make any applicadis
to the Howe whit* the interests of his client might regal*
braddition•to this it was proposed that the House should bad
itself, as a return fur the concession, to say that they would
listen to no application, that they- would shut themselves op
from all approach, and shut their, ears against justice. Such was
the extraordinary treaty lietiveen the Judges ein the bench and
the Counsel at the bar--clime, ksee).--They had already beard
too much of such conferences-o.theyheard of discussiuns, aid
conversations, and protocols between the Ministers of the Craw*
and the very Counsel now at the Dir. No notice had yet beet
taken of it by the Home, but every reflecting mind In the
country regarded it as a matter of deep regret that the Crows!
of Engliuld should descend to negociate treaties with respect,
to a judicial proceeding, 9r that 'sky thing, like a treaty,
'practical or compact, should take place between the Judges
1 who were • to try the cause and the Counsel who appearo
ed before them. It was a mockery of the grave and solianil
inquiry Lt which the House was engaged. He; for one, would,,
protest against bring -bound_by any such engagement—Wear).
-He would not call upon any Counsel to do what they could net
do without abandoning the interests of their client--(Heary
hoar, hear). Nor would be concur himself in making any.
,pledge that would amount to an abandonment of his own duty.
Agreeing as he did with his Noble Friend, that while they were
navigating a sea without chart or compass, it was impossible.,
they could feel themselves free from danger. He felt all them
illogiera would be interestd by adopting the course now propimed.'
'lf any such interpoaition was contemplated on the part of the,
' House, it was incumbent on those who meditated the rroposal,
to have made it before the Solicitor-General bad summed up oo
the other side. What" Was the object of summing up? His Noble
Friend (Kali Lauderdale),the Noble Earl at the head of the Tre-a-
eery, and the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, had all expressed a
wish that the evidence already given at the Bar should be al-
-lowed to mats no impression on their Lordships' minds. But.
though they admitted that any Interruption of the evidence was
an evil, as in. common candour they could not deny, they were
not only willing- that the evidence should stand in its pitmen
shape against her Majesty, but had permitted the Sulicitar-
Geueral to make his comments, after having pre-determined to
adjourn when the case fur the Bill was clued. What then, we
would ask, was the object of the summing up ? to give a bias to
their minds, to point mit the strong partii of the evidence, and
collect thy whole into a focus against her Majesty. Feeling and
foreseeing the neceidty of an adjournment, they had done this,
though they loom that the Solicitor-General could have summed
up afterwards as well as now, and that his cause could receive no
injury from delay, the evidence being now before their Lordships.
After the evidence, and after the comments upon that evidence,
were they to be told that the present was the fit moment to ad-
journ, even without the counterbalance of a single comment on
the other side? He admired the candour of his Noble Friend In
many instances, but it struck him as rather extraordinary that he
should say the present situation of the case afforded the best op-
portunity for adjournment, as it left matters in the most equal
balance. in what did that equality consist? Was it equality
to allow the whole evidence to be sworn upon one side. and
comments to be made otr that evidena-, in order to work it up
to the highest effect? Was that a moment to be fixed upon for
suspending the proceeding. on the ground of a layout able equality?'
Was that the best aid safest moment to select, when one party
had all the advantage ? A Noble Earl had cautioned them against
the injustice of permitting part of the evidence to be brought
forward; but there was no intention, as he understood, to make
such a proposal. All that the Counsel waisted was the advan-
tage of a speech, to counteract the prejudice created by a speech
accompanied with evidence. The Noble Lord hid said, that
no case would bear such a proceeding. What an opinion the
Noble Lord must have of the case !—(Cries Hear. Afar
The Solickar-General bad produced his evidence and made his
speech, but. if, after all that, sonic comment was tacked to the
case, in the opinion of the Noble Lord there was an end of allow
(Naar, hear 1).—Ito *mkt althea,. whether ir was most fair m
the Public, or most fair. to themselves, to allow the evideoth
and comments to go tort* without even an observation eta
the other side, to thew in what respects it was valuable, forth
rwas all they. desired. He ridiculed the idea, 'that the Guns"!
for the Queen would venture upon statements which they could
nut pruveht. evideacia. Wbathy'er teitipentyi adtintego`tifey

If their Lordships were to subject any party to inconvenience,
every principle of law, justice, humanity, and compassion,'
demanded that the advantage should be given to the accused :
this was the principle of English law—dils was the advantage
which the meanest individual possessed. The inconvenience in
which their Lordships was placed, was caused by their own
act--(Hat, her), It was by their Bid of Pains and l'estaltles;
by a proceeding so anamoloes, that their Lordships were
brought into their present diffictilty—(Meer, Lear). A Noble
Lord had quoted the case of Lord Falkand, tried before Lord
Enenbortnigh. He, too, would refes to thit case, and it would
be found it was directly contrary to the inference drawn from it.
The ease for the prosecution was closed at six o'clock; at so
late an hour, the Counsel for the defendant (now Mr. Justice
Best) required dme for the defence; but the Learned Judge
insisted on the Counsel going on with it immediately; be com-
menced forthwith, but did not proceed to the end of the
cause, and an adjournment actually did take place before
any Witnesses were tilled. His Lordship concluded a speech
of much force and argument, by declaring that, since he had a
seat in that House he never gave a vote with more pleasure
or sincerity than he would, vote that the Counsel for her Ma-
jesty should hive the advantage they sought for, and which, be
contended, on the principles of place could not be denied them.
The Rail of LIVERPOOL, admitted the principle stated
by the Noble Earl who had- just sat down, that if tither party
was to possess an advantage in this case; it ought to be the ac-
cused; but their Lordships ought to consider the comparative
inconvenience'. Whatever disadvantages her 3dajehty might
suffer by the charges being suffered to go forth for two mouthy
uncontradictesf, these wets tint to be compared to that of adopt-
ing-the other course proposed by the Noble Lord oppoilite ; and
he would never hear the charge that these thiEculties had been
• brought bytheir Lordships upon themselves without endeavour-
ing to repel it. As to the proceeding by a Bill-of Pains and
Pi.:.alties, ha would contend, that so tar as related to het Ma-
jen,y, it was decidedly preferable to a trial by Impeachment. In
the case of the latter, the trial would have been in the Commona,
not on oath—on ex-party statements—no cross-examibatiott=uo
evidence to contradict the evidence would have been
much stronger, because it would not have been on oath.- There
would then have been no Hat of witnesses, no specir.catkm of
tine and place, of which so much had been said ; and the evi-
dence would On gor.e forth for weeks or mw. th, a:contradicted.
Ills Lordship proceeded to rinacate the course that had been
adopted, and to *fend the ref ukid of a list cf witnesses, When

The L:)RD CH AIC CO-:LLCM explained.
Lord CA LTHORPIL made a brief but forcible speech,
I.t hemmed the indulgence claimed by h.r Majesty's Omn-
il. It appeared to him, that the House could not, with
spy propriety, refuse it--(.lfear). At the tattle time, he licked
upon the indulgence as so great a benefit, so extensive and
unprecedehted, that if' granted it ought to be diszturt.r, re-
:or...ed on the journals, that it was granted solely titid r
the special circumstances of tie case. As to the use which
might be made .of that indulgenie by the Counsel he did
not think that was a fit consideration for their Lordsoils--,
(ffear,"hatr),— fie would say this much, however, that he
could never bring himself. to believe that the Attorney-Ge-
neral for her Majesty would so far compromise his charac-
ter as to sink. in the attributes of an advocate tor Lae Qatien,
the higher tlairns winch public justice heed on his banout and
discretion. Ile was sure the; the Learned GentlZsitan would
receive such an indulgence as an important trust commi.ted to
hint by the Hake, fur wlikhhe would be responsible, not
merest to her Majesty, but to the House and to the Public, for
whim tbi Hance acted.

Lord REDESDA LE said, the Mouse were upon thiS subject
to set upon the law, and nut to make any new law. 11w ',curse
in which dm Queen's Counsel wished to proceed was in violation
of such authority as the !louse was Wood to follow. The defence
of the Qteeri could be made in the shape of eekience alone by the
law, and wait* in this case to rest upon the mere .assertions of
those whit were in no wax responsible? He concleded with de-
daring it to be his opinion, that the COMM' for her Majesty
• could nut, with propriety, go on with the defence baize the

Lord DARN LEY could not but attach very great importance
to the statement of inconveniences made by Nubile Lord. who
were adverse to the proposition of the Queen's Couunel ; but
after balancing the inconveniences with the conveniences, he had
made up his mind that it would be the preferable course io per-
mit Counsel to proceed as they seemed disposed, as this was ;lot
art ordinary juulcial case. Ile did not know upon what prin-
ciple the House could refuse the Queen's et111:11.-:1 the powee:of
divining the evidence for the defence, when they had granted
ahem the power of dividing the cross-examination. Ile could
not help expressing his regret that those difficulties had ant
all been avoided, by. granting the that of witnesses.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the question, and a

Majority for the Motion —lO5
On our re-aumission into the House, we found Air, Biomass
addressing their Lordships for leave to make some comments Co
the evidence of the Counsel for the prosecution, without ou.
wring into my etatement of his own case, or the facts which he
should adduce in the defence. '
The LORD CIiANCIiLLOR considieed all comments on
the evidence as part of the case for the defence. It was -an act
of justice to the witnesses that their evidence should not be esti-
mated by the observations of the Counsel, but by the counter-
evidence that might be produced in support of those observations.
Lord ERSKINE contended, that their Luruships ought net
to have permitted the Solicitor-General to sum up the evidence;
but now that they had dune so, why nut allow the Leaned
Counsel fur the Queen to make their connoeuts on tug. esti-
&nee that bad gope forth, and answer the uhs.:reauous 0
the Solicitor-General? Ile might be told that it was tomato],
and so was every part of these proceedings, which were total*
without precedent. His Lordship concluded by moving " That
the Counsel for the Queen might have leave to make his com-
ments on the evideuce that had been brought before their
Lordships."
The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question, and a divi-
