wi the of side to be godethmagil, and he thought bet:110ot fi
therefore on Tuesday, the 3cl day of dime next, for bringing for-
ward his intended motion on the subject.
MONUMENT TO MR. PCRCEVAL.
Lord CLLVE wished to state to the House themo-
tires by which he was induced to bring forward the
piesent motion. He wished to avoid giving any en.
couragement to the idea that any thing like a pledge
of political approbation nos wished to be obtained
by him. Ile wished merely to state the fact, -that
the late Spencer Perceval` , in the conscientious dis-
charge of his public duty, had been assassinated-by,
an incensed Individual within the walls of that House..
It would be unbecoming in him to mix with this any
thing of a political nature. All he asked for was to
commemorate the public and private virtues of the
individual, and to record in a durable manner, what
was already fecorded in their Journals, the sense
which the House entertained of the atrocity of the act
by which he wai deprived of existence.—Hear,
hoar !]-lle merely asked from the Hon. Members
on the opposite side of the House, what he would
most willingly hare joined in, had the same "thing
happened to any of those Geotlermen.---(llear, hear,
hear!]--1t might be truly 'aid of Mr. Perceval, that
no man was ever less disposed to injure any person,
and no one disposed to do all the good he possibly
cuuld.—[hear, hear, hear !]—lt was merely intend.
ed to commemorate those virtues, and to record tho
abhorrence of the act. It was the first and the last
time he should make any motion on the subject of his
late lamented and revered Frieud. Tbe Noble Lord
then moved, the the Resolution on the Journals of
the House, expressive of the sense they entertained of
the assassination, should be read ; after which he
moved, that an Humble Address be presented to his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying that he
would he graciously *am(' to direct that a Monu-
ment should be erected in the Collegiate Church of
St. Peter's, Westminster, to the memory of the Right
Hog. Spencer Perceval, late First Commissioner of
the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, who
was assassinated within the walls 'of Parliament, in
the execution of his duty, as a mark of the deep sense
which the House entertained of his public and private
virtues, and to serve as a commemoration of the afro.
cious act. _

Admiral HARVEY rose to second the motion.—
He thought the act was abhorred through every part
of the kingdom, and it required, if ever any thing'
did, some public monument to commemorate k.—
Whatever difference of opinion might be enter-
tained of Mr. Percevil's public conduct, no person
could hesitate to speak with approbation of his pri-
vate virtues.

Mr. JAMBE hsd concurred in the votes already I
passed by the House, and when he did so, he cer.'
tainly hoped that the whole that was to be done on
this melancholy business was concluded. With re- I
spect to the present motion, he had a more difficult
duty to perform, because he conceived in voting for-
it, it would .be a xecognition of the merits or. 111 r.
Perceval's public services ; and having throogbont
opposed his Measures, he' certainly could not'sion•
scientiously concur in giving such a vote. The No-
ble Lord who made the motion, bad stated that he
svould hive Riilingly concurred in a similar rate in
the case of any Gentleman of this side of the Rouse.
Ile gave fall credit to this statement of the Noble
Lord ; but kat) he himself been in the Noble Lord's
situotiol, cereal-1411-6;14 not 'Mils` brottght..ferz4
ward any such • motion. h 1 saw. no reason' why a
public testimony.abould be paid to the *emery of
Mr. Perceval, which had not'been paid to the me-
mory of Lord Godolphin' Sr Robert Walpole, or
Mr. Pelham- to l, Mr. Bur Mr. Windham, or Mr.
s
Pox.

Mr. FULLER said, had these Gentlemen fallenl
in .the execution of their duty like Mr. Pirceval, the
same honour would undoubtedly have been paid to
them, in the same manlier as the mown of a Cap-
tain of a ship who was destroyed in the public ser-
vice, was honoured by his country.--Mear 9 These
were his feelings as a man, and he would honestly;
avow them. • lie thought thata monument_ should be '
erected to the memory of Mr. Perceval,by Mr. How.
f.ty, the first "slid of- the age, which would only cost

L,rd CASTLEREAGH should be 'sorry if this
motion could be construed into an intention, on the
part of those friends of Mr. Perceval, who cithcurred

in his opinion's, to desire any triumph over their po.
litieal adversaries if rout the decision of the House.—
'this would be to turn the House and- the country

stances attending the case.—[hear!]—ln his appre.

softer to plead, and the only stage."
Mr. ALLEY said, " My duty is to state, that the
Prisoner is in that.state that he ought not to be called
upon to plead.
The Couter.—" Ile has no right to .Counsel till
he pleads."
The Prisoner being tailed upon to plead, he come.
i•plained of the Prosecutors refusing him his papers)
which were necessary for him.
IThe ATTORNEY-G ENERA L and Mr. GAnnow both
declared that he had an offer of copies of those pa.
pers.
Mr. ALLEY then stated, that as his instructions
were to the insanity of the Prisoner, he should cpu.
fine himself to that. He then proceeded to move)
that his trial should be put off for the sole purpose
I.of producing witnesses. He then read an affiatlavit,
of Ann Billet, stating in direct terms the insanity
of the Prisoner, and that of several witnesses who
knew the fact, but that they were abSeut, and could
not-at this day be brought to London from Liver-
pool and elsewhere. The Learned Gentlentan then
appealed in forcible terms to the humanity as well as
justice of the Coqrt; to let the trial stand over till a
more distant period.
Here the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. GAnnow
Interfered, and said, that in Arnold's case, the Court
Nestrafhed the Counsel for the Defendant from pro-
ceeding with'any observations, restricting hiM mere!,
to the reading the affidavit, which was accordingly pc"
in and read by Mr. Shelton. •

grating than hail been done by the Hon. Gentleman 1
who spoke last: He thought that the proposition of
a public funeral might be misconstrued into an op.;
probation of of political principles; but the pecu. 1
liar advantages of the present motion was, that it
guarded against the danger of being liable to Such;
misconstruction, after the fleeting debates of the`l
day were passed away Weer, hear!], because carol
would be taken to make such a record as would not
convey to the spectator, in time to come, one jot
more or less than the meaning of the House.
could never lead to a suapiciou of the insincerity of j
the Sentiments formerly maintained by .any Gentle-1
man in the House. The natural construction would
rather be that all political animosities and differences
were suspended--that the political character had been
merged in the deeper feelings of regret, which arose
on the loss of Kr lamented an individual, and in the
common sentiment of .detestation of au act which
transcended every thing in recent times in the history
of our country. [Hear, heart]
Admiral HARVEY explained.
Sir G. AVARRENDER should heartily vote with
the Noble Lord,. without considering it as any, dere-
liction of his principles.
Mr. LOCKHART supported the motion.
Sir C. BURRELL declared his intention to vote
for the motion:
Mr. CHARLES WATKINS WYNISTE observed,
that this was a very different case from that of great
naval and military characters, who expired in the
_ .

moment of victory. The monument to be erected'
on this occasion might be•called a column of infamy.
it would perpetuate the memory of an action, which,
if possible, he wished might bi covered with (Mi.

Lord MILTON was compelled, from a sense of
duty, to object to the motion of his Noble Friend•
It was impossible to erect a monument without re-
cognizing the merit of public services. Already bad ,

of the House as durable a monument as any which '

Already Mr. Perceval's memory-had been hOnoured
with the tribute which had been paid to his public
and private virtues ; but the present measure was'
gr. !g a little farther.
Lord DINA yr supported the motion, •
Mr. WILBERFOItCE, in a speech in which he
, repeated his former eulogitim on the public and pri.
vate virtues of the late Mr. Perceval, supported the
motion. Ile thought it an honour to the age hi
which he lived, that the display of private virtue
on-a public stage, should be thought worthy of those,
honours which had hitherto been exelasively appro..
r priated to merits of a more imposiugi though per-
haps less umeful character.
L, Mr. ELLIOT wished to have it distinctly under,'
stoiid; tha,i his Onry reason for objecting to the mow
tioa was, that he thought such distinctions should:
be conferred only in consideration of pre-emineui
services to the country. The honour wits a public
one, and should be given only in return for 'eminent
'public service.
The Gallery was then cleared for a division, wheat

consistent with their duty to grant, and he therefstie w Wall to
adopt another plan of bringing his supposed grievances before
Paeliament. Mr. Perceval did not give his recninuiendation to
his Petition, and from that ciecuutstauce the Prisoner scented to
have cherished a determination of revenge against him, fur be
had from that period frequented the House 01 Commons to male
acquainted with the pemon of Mr. rerceval ; and in
pursuance of a plan es idcntly arranged in his own mind, no
"Monday last, he took his station close to the lobbv-door in the
I louse of Commons, and as Mr. Perceval entered ire fired a pis.
tol into his breast, which caused his instant death. Of the facts
of the case there could not be the slightest doobt, and but for
what they had heard pass in Court he shon'd have siipposed,
that not the slightest shadow of defence could he offered. It
seemed, however, that fhe Prisoner's Counsel meant to defend
him on theground of in s:oars. 'Pate question would therefore he
for the Jury to determine whether, at the time be committed the
