The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought, that as
the Rouse was already in possossiod•of some accounts on this
subject, it would be sufficient to take it up from the passing of
the last accounts, which would be sufficient to spew Is hat ba-
lanes remained in hand.
Affier a few words from Mr. TIERNEY, and the Mover of
the Notion, th; Motion was limited to the years 1808, 9, 10, isad

ISIr.'I'IERN LY wished to know what the intention of the
Right Hon. Gentleman was, with respect to the second reading
of the Bill for regulating his Majesty's Household I The pa;iers
relating to the Lord Chamberlain's Department were not pit
gi%,•a in, on which account he thought it would be more eon-
venknt to the House to have the second reading postponed front
Friday to Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the
Papers alluded to would be in readiness immediately; at
the same time, if the interval was not considered sufficient
for a perfect understanding of them, he thought that the debate
on the principle of the Bill, instead of taking place, as was cus-
tomary on the second reading, should take place on the question,
that the Speaker should leave the Chair, fur the purpose of go-
ing into Lommittee.

4 intention to
le country, to
the conduct of an Illustrious Individual, who had
acted in a manner becoming the best times ; he al-
luded to the Duke of Cambridge, who had resigned
the command of the Home District, under circum-
stances peculiarly honourable to his character and
patriotism. He (Lord Cochrat;e) did not wish to
provoke any observations from those who were
anxious the example should remain unknown and un-
imitated; but he was determined that it should be
known, and he was confident that it' must be Led-
toted by all those who wished well to the country.--
If every individual pursued the same course of re-
signing unnecessary and sinecure offices, the best ef-
fects would follow, and a great saving would be
made to the public. Ile understood that the place
resigned by his Royal Highness amounted to 4,0001.
a year, besides provision for 20 horses. There were,
he was told, other advantages attached to it; hut as
he was not perfectly acquainted with their nature,
he should say nothing about them. As (from what
cause he should not pretend to state) no mention of
this resignation was made in the Gazelle, or commu-
nicated in any other way to the public, he wished it
to be understood, that it was his intention to submit
a motion for the purpose of recording the fact upon
the Journals of the House, and transmitting his Roy-
al Highness's name to posterity, as a benefactor of
his country. He concluded with moving for the let-
ter of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
resigning the command of the Home District, and
also for the reply to the same ordered by his Royal
Highness the Commander in Chief.
Lord PALM ER'iTON submitted to the House,
whether the Noble Lord had made out any ground
for his motion. He had no hesitation in stating,
that if the letters alluded to were produced, they
would he found to contain nothing but a simple re-
signation on the part of the Duke of Cambridge, and
a formal acceptance on the part of the Commander
in Chief. Conceiving, as he did, that no ground
was made out, he should certainly resist the motion.
Lord COCHRANE said he did not move for the
Papers from an idea that they contained any thing
of importance, but merely for the purpose of groaud-
big a motion on them.
The motion was then rejected without a divison.
JURISDICTION OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.
Lord FOLKESTONE desired the Petition of
Mary Anne Dixon to be read by the Clerk of the
House, which was read accordingly ; and he then
proceeded to state the reasons which impelled him to
bring the subject of the jurisdictiou of the Ecclesiasti-
cal Court before the House. He was desirous that

for which the person aggrieved had not, if he pleased,

quiring into this business, lie found that such cases
not only could, but did frequently occur; andthe
one on which he had the honour of fixing the
attention of the House, was not the least
worthy of their commiseration. It was be-
cause he thus found that abuses existed in the
Ecclebiatical Courts, which had elsewhere no
remedy, that he was induced to extend his . mod
tion beyond the particular ase of the petitioner
and lest the House should think that hadid not sub.
mit sufficient reasous for this extension if it, he beg-
getto state the origin and history of Ecelesiaottat
360taictionln this country, and its state at present.
Ja tracing the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction to its origin,
the Noble Lord did not think it necessary to go
higher than the time immediately preceding the con-
quest. At that early period of our history, the Ec-
clesiastical and Temporal Power went hand in hand.
The Bishops and Baront sat in the same hundreds
and councils together. William the Cooqce.-er, how.
ever, no sooner had the power, than he eeparatcd
the spiritual and temporal jurisdictions from one
another. Whether that Moenrch thus .acted front
the love of adopting the fashions of his own coun-
try, as Mentioned in the old chronicles of Henry the
' First, or whether he wished to get rid of the trial
by Jury, that valuable remnant of ancient Gothic
jurisprudence, he would not attempt to de-
cide; but certain it was, that the first differ.,
ehce between the spiritual and temporal Su.
risdiction was established by William the
,First.--
It was thereforeevident that this jurisdiction owes its
origin to a desieu on tho part of a successful invader,
Ito overthrow our antient establishments, and that it
had been used as efficient means to fit the people of
this country for easy subjection to a foreign yoke
This was in itself a circumstance that did not serr
to recommend such jurisdictions. The power est
blished in the reign of William I. iccr.ased duri
the reign of William 11. and contin'ed still ft
ther to advance during the reign of Henry I. wilt
the Archbishop of Canterbury commankated to th
Monarch, that the right of appointing to Sees at
Benefices lay no longer in him, but in the Pope
1 who had assumed it to himself. In the turbulent Hun
of King Stephen they were busied in taking every
portunity to exercise their power. In the year 11
1 after declaring the Empress Maude Sovereign, they'
verse their own order, and establish Stephen on
throne; and. essay oars was aware of the eficriir
`growth of their power in the reign of so vigorousa b/
flare!' as Henry I I. who was, after so many strong,'
unavailing struggles, obliged to yield to the then An
bishop of Canterbury, Thomas a Becket. Amoi
the articles passed in the Parliament of Clareteli
were six, securing to the clergy privileges to an on,
mous extent ; one of these was, that etyry per,
chargeable with an offence against an ecclesiastic, 1
to be tried before a Bishop ; and another was,
exempt all ecclesiastics from being answerable
' any other than Ecclesiastical Jurisdictions. A!
i pursuing the progressive advancement of these juris.
dictions through the successive reigns of Richard I.
lehn, Henry 111. Edward I. Edward 11. and 111.
Richard H. and henry IV. the Noble Lord passed
q'er to theoßeformation, when the clergy not being
priests, were made subservient to the civil power,
though the Dean of Winchester had preached against
it, and said in his'Sermon that all who had a band In
that Act, were liable to ecclesiastical censure; a con•
ference ensued between the clergy and laity, of
which Ilmiry himself bore a part. The canons that
were revised by the 32 Commissioners, at the head
of which was. Archbishop Cromer, had been con-
i demned by that commission, and yet there were some
lof them substantially in force at this moment. In
i later periods of our history nothing had been done
I to bring those Jurisdictions within proper bounds,
I but the 26th of George 1. and the ‘27th of George
111. As to the existing grounds of complaint, he
i thought one was, that in general the persons hold-
ing situations were not men of legal habits, nor
of the necessary information. He knew, how-
ever, that to this, as a general censure, there were
some eminent exceptions, and this was an objec.
tion of greater force when the power of those courts
-was considered: they could excommunicate, and
excommunication not only impased imprisonment
under the Act, but no person excommunicated could
bring an action, be an advocate, witness, or a
Ijuror; and if he died under the excommunication,
he was denied Christian burial. He then proceeded
• to 'state some modern cases of extreme hardship :
the first was that of Mary Dixon, of Bristol, who,
after having been in prison for two years and a half,
had to pay a taxed cost of ill. 12s. The wait by
virtue of which she had been arrested, had beat ad-
dressed to the Sheriff of Bristol, though the prisoner
was taken to Gloucester Gael, owing to an erasure
' of the name of the prison.. If this &Herat
