PRINTING.
Lord PALMERSTON brought up the Report of the
Committee on Printing.
Mr. HUMEtook that opportunity of protesting against
the conduct of this Committee with regard to witnesses.
Instead of confining themselves to the inquiry for which
they were appointed, they actually put witnesses oho
cause before them on their trial, touching matters past
and gone. He particularly alluded to the case of Mr.
Jennings, who was examined as to previous evidence.
Lord PALMERSTON did not understand what the
Hon. flember meant by saying that witnesses were put
upon their trial. It was impossible for any Committee
to be more fairly formed than this was, as it was impar-
tially selected from kotil sides of the house.
Mr. RENNET said the house might judge how im-
partially the Committee was selected, when they knew
that it was composed of eighteen of the Noble Lord's
(Palmerston's) fiends and adherents, and only three
from his (Mr. Bennet's) side of the house, of which
three his Hon. Friend (Mr. Home) was the only one that
attended, the other two, no doubt, not liking their com-
pany
HUME said, that as a speCimen of the way in
which business was conducted in the Committee, all pa.
pers that came into it were locked up in a box, whereas
they ought to be left within the power of any Member to
.hew to any Member of the house to take his opinion.
The object of the Committee was to elicit truth, and
such a course militated against that object.
Mr. WYNN said, that the object of a Committee was
to obtain information to lay before the house, and he
appealed to the Chair to know, whether any
had authority to thew any paper whatever. laid liefoie
any Committee.
The SPEAKER thought there could be no differende
of opinion on this subject. All information, whether
evidence or net. was laid before a Committee as a select
body, and for its use alone. This was pointed out in
every day's practice, whets motions were made for cer-
tain evidence and papers to be printed for the use of the
Committee alone.
Mr. LUSIIINOTON did dot rise to prolong the dis-
cussion, but merely to point out to the Hon. 111;:nber
for Shrewsbury, bow much in error lie was in sating
that there were only three Members (mom his side of the
hoese in the Committee in question. The liononrable
Gentleman then proceeded to read the names of Lord
Jobe Russell, Mr. Brougham, Sir H. Parnell, Mr. Ri-
cardo, Mr. Monek, Mr. M. A. Taylor, Mr. Maxwell, Mr.
Chetwynd, and Mr. Hume. These were nine of the
Hon. Members friends, besides which, on the neutral
ground, were Mr. Hookas, Mr. Smith, Mr. Lamb, awl
one other. He hoped the generality of the Hon. Memr
tier's statements were more correct than that be bad
made on this subject, for lie defied bins to appoint a more
impartial Committee —(Hear.)
Mr. MONEY cited a case in illustration of what hail
fallen from the Chair, in which a paper got into the daily
prints, before it appeared in the printed Minutes of the
Committee on Trade.
Mr. LUSHINGTON presented Papers from the Excise
and Tax Offires.—Ordered to lie on the table.

Mr. PRENDERGAST complained of certain ivainna•
tions which had been thaoWn out against him by the
Honourable Members for Aberdeen and Coventry. He
should look over the papers which hail heed presented,
and move for the printing of any that affected him. He
hoped the Hon. Gent. to whom he had alluded would do
the same, and if they found a single paper that appeared
to make against him, he trusted they would move that
it should be printed.—Adjourned.
