DHOITS Or THE CDOWN AND ADDIIR•LTY.
Mr. WU WilM.l3l said, that in rising to bring before
the House the very importat.t subject of which he had
given notice, as well as of the Civil List which was
connected with it, he assured them it was far from his
intention to trespass inure upon their time than was
absolutely necessary towards explaining the different
pints to which he should advert. Ile trusted the
House would believe him, when he declared that in
bringing forward this question, it was nut a business
of his uwn seeking. When the same question was under
consideration in the year I `.12, he then tuld his Ma-
jetty's Ministers that he should at some future period
call the at:ention of the Muse to it, in case they
omitted to satisfy the public on the subject in the ar-
rangements they were making. At that Cane be ex-
pressed an anxious wish that the 31inisters themselves
might bring forward sonic pro?osit;un which would
have a better chance of being beneficial to the public
than any thing that could hate conic frutn him. He also
declared that it was equally foreign to his intention to
suggest any thing to the House from which it might
supposed that his object was to curn;iass the degrada-
tion of th.. Royal state and dignity, or to curtail any of
thus.* rights which properly belonged to the Crown;
for the interest of the nation required thatthe Monarch
should be maintained in his just dignity and splendour.
If in former times it was criminal to deprive the
Cr..wn of what was essential to its security, to its

power, and to the peace, the tranquillit:; anti good
government of the realm, it would be equrav criminal
to make such an attempt in times like these; fur the
pet sent wire not times to tamper with the security or
our constitutional establishments. He always color-
tiered it to be safe sad expedient not hi dearade the
Crown ; but to coot mu to the principles, and steer with-
in the strict grounds of the Constitution. In what
he had now to state to the House, he stculd steer
within thine limits. here was no occasion fur hass
to enter into an ex act accou .t of all the points which
were connected with this suhjert ; hr shiftild only pro-
ceed to show that some such arrangement as that to
waieh he alluded, was called fur in the present situa-
tion of the country. It was an established maxim, and
a maxim that had been sanctioned by the greatest anA •
must constitutional lawyers of this country. that the •
Crown was incapable of posseming st srpdratr prop !lay s •
and that no property which halberd to the Coosell:
could be consiticeld as the priaate property of any it-
dividital Suaereigo. Origiaally, the ft loge 'cf -Pant
lead were supposed to possess all the lands of the kieg;
dim. and to be held by the Monarch NA itt.ra Co eye-.
But it never WAS considered that any Monarch had a
rialtt to appropriate those lands to his own private uses.
Even when a private individual 'wired of let& in Lis
own private right. should afte-wards beeon,e
the tight of thosa lands erased with his power, and
the lands became the lands of the Crowe. Such was
the ease With the Duke of Lancaster, wh , was seired of
lands In his own right; but when he I 'calve Mao,
those lands belottged to the Crown, and were no !mare
the private property of the Monarch. If a statute gave
!ands to the Crown, they could only he held by the So-
vereign in right of the Crown. This was a point
set clearly laid down by the laws of this cotint,v, that
there could I eno doubt upon it. lie eliould star an in-
stance in support of this ; rittriple. WheriJames I. gave
to the Earl of Devonshire certain old stores, which were
considered to be the treasures of the Crown, it wee
held that be could not convey away that property by
hi• sign manual. When the executors of the ;:ati
Devonshire claimed this property, the Judges. to
whom it had been referred, crave it as their opioian
that these old stores were the treasures of the Crowe
—that they were the ligaments of p. are, the sinews
of war, and intended fur the ptotecti tttt of the realm;
and that dry should go to the successor of the King ;
or in other words, that they were the property of t!.e
Crown ; and they held that the only warrant by whiz
that treasure could be possessed by a pavate
Was a warrant under the great tiv.ll and Pci•y
St-al. This was the opinion of that pre:mind lawee.
I Lord Coke, and all the other keral an;h •rities staged
in the same opinion. He should mention arother
case. Lord Ashley had obtained emir; the sien ma-
nual at the King (Charie4 IL) yeti:tin prizes which
had hem' takes from the Latelt ; u; en which Lurd
Clarendon remonstrated with the [sine he told him
that if such a trensactien could be all .wed to take
place, his Majesty might be abominably cozened by
persons who would seek for grants of Ono kind; and
that there was no way he which they could be made
except by the great :cal, or Privy Seal. When Lord
lshley remonstrated against this opinion of lanai Cla-
rendon, that great and coustitotionol Judge was nut
more courtaous to him that to his Sovereien. for he
told him that it was an unnatural privilege ; and that
Lord Ashley might live to repent the die he had takes
the grant. These cases. with others which might be
quoted, clearly proved that nu Linn of England bad
any property which was not the property of the Crown.
A great Inroad, however, bed besot nude upon this
principle of our law and Constitution ; and he was
sorry to say it was one of a recent date. It wrs made he
Mr. Pitt in the year 1799, when, fur the first time. an
Act wits passed wider enabled the King to 11(.41 with
his lands and chattels, just as if they were h:s own
private property. All the principles of the (animals-
tion were completely upset by this enactment ; and
alter this. gentlemen talked of the dignity of the
Crown! What w told I ord Coke ant Lord Clarendun
have void to such a law, which, by cu.:Mato the Sove-
reign to dispose of his lands and !tools, w;nt to put
him on the footing of any common intlithinal!—a law
he which he might if he chose give away the property
of the Crown to favourite., o even to enemies, con-
trary to the policy and constitutional principles of the
country. But what would they have said if they
beard that a still further step had been taken tower Is
lessening the dignity of the Monarch. By the same
-nacttnent, powers were given to the wing to possess
eoprould estates—to hold these male: his own sub-
jells. After this, world Gentlemen of the dig-
, nice of the Crown? As to the partienl ir funds which
should be the object of the present inquiry, he would
not proceed sa far as to deity that a compensation
ought not to be naide for what might he talten away ;
but he would maintain that on every prarciple of law
the right to them did nut exist. In am lent tinirs it
was well known that out of the lands of the Crown
the Suvereigne were obliged to inaiosin their splen-
dour. But iu those days of whirl' he- spoke, wh.-n
certain, defined revenues were granted to the Crown,
they were not given for the personal pleasures of the
King. No, they were Oared under h:s diteetion tot
the special purpose of providing fur the expeaces of
his government. To support this assertion, he mil
cite one or two authorities—it it'd, ed the antheray of
any one were uecessery to produce belief to a propo-
sition so obvious. Lord Coke said, that wrecks moat
rest in the Crown, because somebody must have the
right of claiming them, and as no owner ...old be
