which he thought would prevent a repetition of the evils
complained of.
Mr. WARD seconded the motion. The House ought
to decide whether the disorder which had prevailed at
the late election for Coventry was or was not to exist.
Lord W. RUSSELL said, if the misconduct imputed
to the Magistrates had been proved, why were they not
brought to justice, and why was not justice done to the
parties aggrieved? He thought the House ought to
consider whether a remedy could not be applied to
protect the right of voters, in a manner consistent with
the'dignity of Parliament.
Mr. HEATHCOTE, thought the Hon. Baronet had
treated the City and Magistrates of Coventry rather
unfairly; as upon the present occasion he quoted only
that part of the evidence taken in the Committee,
which went against them. The Honourable Gentleman
thought the evidence not worthy the attention of the
House, inasmuch as it was of a trifling nature, and
in many parts *holly inconsistent. He dote. Jed the
conduct of the voters, and if there was tearing of
clothes, he thought it only what is usual on similar
occasions. No contested Election was ever conducted
,with more tranquillity, nor less personal disturbance—
(Loud laughter.) This might create a smile, but it was,
nevertheless, the fact. He contended that the
Mayor and Magistrates bad acted with the strictest
impartiality towards the several Candidates. He felt
particularly for the Mayor of Coventry, as every syllable
of evidence as regarded that G-ntleman's conduct was
,wholly false.
Mr. FYLER also defended the Magistrates and Cor-
ptwation of Coventry, and opposed the motion. The
Hon. Membef admitted there was noise and she uting
occasioned by the collision of 3,000 voters, but he would
. prove there were no ground for the statement. The
lion. Gentleman said he could not do justice to his
constituents at so late an hour, therefote should propose
the debate be adjourned.
Mr. PEEL said, he should vote for bringing in the
Bill. if these had been any improper conduct on the
part of any Magistrate, he ought to be punished. He
did not pledge himself to support the Bill, but he
thought a case was made out for bringing it in. He
should give an opportunity cf proving the case by
bringing in the Bill. By looking at the evidence they
Might determine whether they had ground for the mea-
sure or not.
Mr. Secretary BOURNE thought the examination of
witnesses at the Bar would have no effect at all. Asser-
tions were made at the Bar without the fear of penalty,
and the case might as well rest on the evidence taken
!oriole the Committee. A Noble Lord had thought the
. Committee had not gone far enough, whilst the Hon.
'Member for Coventry said they had gone too far. Ile
protested against the discussion of the merits of Re-
ports from Committees of that House.
Mr. GURNEY supported the motion.
The question was put and carried.—A Committer
was then nominated to prepare and bring in the Blf.
Mr. C. PALMER obtained leave to bring in a Bill co amend the
Acts relating to Saving Minks.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved for a Committee to enquire into the
!titivate of Crime in England and Wales.—Leave given.
