from Paley's Works, to exemplify the anomal sox nutil
of the late proceedings, in their Lortighips „lint 6:4
in their legislative and judicial capacities. He pt,,s
seeded to review the principles of the constitotion,
said that particular laws were framed for partical4
objects; but that the late Bill of Pains as d Pflatti,
was one of the most monstrous proeeedisgs
brought forward ; fur amongst the judges ours ta
found the prosecutors, and some of them, t 00,04,1
blood to her Majesty. Before he coecladed,
pass his decided censure upon those who had
nated the persons who originated the meeting as 0.,
friends of sedition and irreligion—terms raja, h.
thought more applicable to those who had wade 04

Mr. W. P. Luxeu. next moved the resolaties It.
pressive of the indignation of the meeting at the pr,.
meetings against the Queen, which, he said, 1'44
meet the warm and diffusive feelings of all press*.
The Resolution was secondei by Mr. Ricaatts.
Mr. B. 11. BRIGHT next addressed the useably, sy
went largely into the anomalous oatureof procesdisft

by Bill of Pains and Penalties, describing the jiidir,l
and legislative character of the House of Lords ao to
liquids, clear in themselves, but cloudy and 'gnaw
when Mixed. He said that Ministers did not In

lie illustrated the alteration which the same hit
duals underwent when they changed their atatios
reference to the place from loads he spoke: the fn
corder or Jake in that Court, whom apriglitaesels
fully subscribed to, was also liable, as Attorney.Oest
ral, to he called upon to plead strongly against so
given measure. Bills of Pains and Penalties were,,
Lord they described them, beacons to he shard,
rather than examples to he followed. There was to
analogy to their proceedings in any hook of the ler,
and oily one case in the History of Blighted, whiii
was that of Charles 1., who instituted a proem
against the Earl cif Bristol for speaking diererpei .
folly against his favourite Buckingham; ladelio,ss
be was to receive the Earl's es'ates as forfeiture, sn
prosecutor, judge, and se kilts., in his own ewe. Th
servile House of Lords of that day was, at least, use
candid than the present; for they plainly told de
Commons that the affair was between them and de
King only. Mr. Bright made some pointed ohm
tions on the prorogation, and concluded hy stating lit
Ministers plainly told the Commons, that, if theyeer
assembled again, they (the Ministers) would not •ni
than.

The Resolntion having been read,
Mr. C. H. WALKER took an objection to it, tsi
stated that, is the various resolutions he had bun.

that a conspiracy had been set es foot; or that ti
