Lora Althurp and others bruuKht op the Insolvent
Debtors' Bill.

Lord liauevemon we understood to make some ob-
servations upon the necessity of introducing a clause
in the Bill fur the porpose of affording relief to per-
sons suffering long imprisonment, under a committal
for contempt of Court. lie said he was aware of the
leggl digkellicy, in which the subject was involved.
and seentlimed some cases of great hardillip, inure
especially that of one man is hove confinement for
contempt lasted 35 years. lie therefore vs i4hed to
have the opinion of the Learned Lord on the woolsack
as to the practicability of constructing a clause so as
to meet cases of this peculiar <evenly, and give them
also the advantage of the humane interposition of the
law.

'I he Loan CH torn-Lott said, that hr would be al-
ways willing to receive Com the. Noble Lord, or any
other person, such suggestions and intim/int:on upon
this subject. as might tend to relieve it from the diffi-
rallies with which it was, in some respects, at preeetit
connected. lie would briefly •hde hi• own opinion in
complia.ice with the request of the Noble Lord. It
should be observed. that contempt of Court were of two
kinds, essentially different front each other : one arose
from the nun-payment of a Num of money ordered by
the Coml, the other from a refusal to du some act
fixed by the. judgment. The committal in the former
case, was to he looked on as in the light of an execu-
tion for the non-payment of a debt, and be had no ob-
jection that those who were imprisoned fur such con-
tempt should hr provided for by the law in the same
way as debtors in other Courts. With respect to the
other sort of contempt. he scarf illy knew how to look
at it. There were cases to which he could not see
how relief could be extended ; suppose. for instance
(laid the Learned Lord), the testator gives me an estate
in trust, to convey it to the Noble Lord. lie calls on
me foe the conveyance. and finding me not trilling to
execute it, demands it in a Court of Equity, having no
rerne.ly in a Court of Law, the estate being judiciary.
and um leg-al. If. then, instead of conveying the
estate to him, according to the intention of the testa-
tor, I refuse to execute the trust, and, neglecting the
decision of the Court ellut.sin< the performance of this
judiciary obligation, keep possession of the estate,
and re the rents and profits, bow could relief be
iu such a ease, without giving to the offender
the tof his own wrong. As lung as he continued
in co pt against every principle of conscience and
justice, _so lone it was right that the Court should
wake him feel that he could nut he unjust with per-
fect impunity. But even alter a scommittal on such
eteue4l4, the prisoner evpr. sled his readiness to re-
linquish what he had nu right in equity to retain,
then there was no doubt hut he Would be relieved.
'there teas always, tinder such circumstances, even en
eager forwardness in the Court to Ore all the relief
that was consistent with justice; but there was no re-
medy when a man chose unjustly to pi tsist in with-
holding from another what hr had only received for
his benefit: such a person had no right, while con-
tinuing to disobey the law. to complain that the pro-,
cese of law ass too rigor us : but, still lie (Lord El-
dun) was always glad to receive information on parti•
cular cases.
The Bill was then read a first time.
Ott the motion of Lord Hos KKKK BY. the Order of
the thy fur the committal of the bill fur regulating
the election of Scotch Peers was di.rharged, and the
Bill ordered to be committ on Friday next.
The Marquis of lovest.owN moved fur certain pa-
pers relative to foreign trade, for the purpose of being
laid before the Select Committee.—Ordered.

THB billMßN.—Tlie Earl of LITSUPOOL rose to
move the Order of the Day for the meeting of the Sti-
crct Committee to-morrow (this day) be discharged 1l
and that the time of meeting be further postponed to
I nesilay. Ilk Lordship stated, that the same reasons
were still in existence which bad given rise to the ibis-
mer adjournment, as explanStions and communisations
on the important subject to which it related were still
actually pending.
Thc:Alarsinis of Laxstinsem animadverted upon the
course pursue I b? Ministers in this transaction; he
said, there we no instance on record where a commo-
tion agile from the Throne to the House, and re-
ferred to *Committee fur the purpose of considering
what measures should he adupted upon it, had bees
deferred from time to time, without any further comp
municaticin front the neon, to warrant such a pent
ceduic. bat this awkward consconeuce was the re-
sult of the injudious conduct of Ministers In the
onset, who bad recommended a m, score to the Home,
of which they now experienced the dilliculties. As for
his own part, he *unlit nut oppose the motion; he
thought, on the contrary, that there were cogent res.
soik for negniekeing in it. Hut Ministers were lot
thereby exculpated from the blame of the embarrass-
ing situation in which their precipitancy bad placed
the House. He hoped it would suggest to them the
necessity of taking inure considerate step in future.
Lard Os est Lsr expressed similar sentiments to those
which bad been uttered by the Noble Marquis He
said the dignity of the Hong., of which it was usual
to say so touch, had been injured by the Orman mode
of proceeding; and he graved it would make Members
anxious to weigh ssell, on another time, the grounas
of 'proposition on which they were invited to vote by
his Majesty's Ministers. lie hutted and trusted, what
happened now would be a warning to them in future,
sod prevent the House from being :gain placed in cir-
cumstances of so much dilleulty.
