London, England, 1810-04-18 00:00:00

&aced to a nellittr Agit 111% wrhablt-
-ITRATISG has been srly NU, -41111:4:
House of Commons, and all sea
‘bithout such controul upon them, do awl' swat'
tend to a tyranny. Thu people of England are
at last alive to this ; and the people of England
loving the Conititutien, and loving the House
Commons as an essential part of it, are determinet
to save the House from disgrace, and the Const
tution from ruin, by the legal operation of their
voice and admonition, firmly but peaceably given.
The conduct of Gerd COCURANt at the Meet
ing, and his steady attachment to his duty in pre-
senting the Petition to the House, deserve and
have our praise. Colonel WADDLE, who may

said to have done more to open the eyes of a sleep,
ing nation than any other individual, merited

country's thanks again, on the Hustings yeast,
day, by the able siu.veh he made; and the lot

and repeated greetings he received from the assem,
bly, sheaved that they felt the truth of this feel
ing. The People of England do hail him as of
of their most powerful and successful champion:
It would be gross injustice to Mr. WIIITBILEAI.
not to notice with much regard his manly speech
in the House ou the motion for the Petition ly7

on the Table ; which, we harp no doubt, col
winced that House of the necessity of receivr
the Petition with respect. To this Member I
country has been 'often indebted to an eminent I
gree; and in this, in a degree no less eminent than
on any former, however important, occasion
The question now really is—lVhether the coi
try is to be saved by peaceable means or not ?,
and Mr. VVIIITiIItiAD'S best services have been
given to solve that important question In the
arable affirmative.

The case of Serjeant Topmast will become
interesting record in the matter between Sir Fn.
CIS Hotspur and the SPEASEI. Mr. Toeu,
was Serjeant at Arms to the House of Comm
in the reign of KING CHAIM 11. lie cum
a number of Warrants against persons for Breach
of Privilege. Ho was prosecuted in the Court
King's Bench for the same, as acting illegally,
He pleaded the Jurisdiction of the House of Com-
mons in answer. This proceeded to a demo'
and on several of them, vit. in the CAM of J
VERnoN, HILLIARD, STAPLES BLYTIS
EON; RERRERT, READING, and MENAGE,
plea was over-ruled by the Judges, and judgmen
given against the Serjeant. Upon this, in the I
of WILLIAM and MART, TOPHAM presented
A:tition to the House, complaining that he
been *4reat sufferer by those prosecutions.
House ordared Sir FRAN. PEnIiEINPOIS Chief(
(ice, and Sir THOMAS Jonas, one of the Judges
the bar; and they were required to account for
over-ruling the plea of the jurisdijetion of•
House of Commons. They accordingly did ,6
cced to explain and justify their deci•ion.
.4Their
arguments against the jurisdictiou the Hai
were most forcible. But the two Moe
were committed for the judgment they gave,
they Jay till the prorogation. It it probe,
ble, however, that this was nut, long—as it bai
pened on the 19th of July. Bit what is traL
-curious in this case is, that Sir THOMAS Joi
cue of the Judges so committed, is the ancestor
Sir FRANCIS BENNETT, from whom his brother
takes th,e name of Joires, and from whom they
derive their estate in Wiltshire.
