COLOPILL 801111.
On oar return to the Gallery, we found Mr., GREY
13E NNET on his legs, ceiling the attention of the House
to the We of Col. Home, of the 311 Foot Gaudy. He said
that he had taken great pains to collect accurate informs-
on the subject, end then brought a question before the
Nuse, which affected the character of an injured and ho-
nouraoble officer,,as well as that of the British ermy in
general. The Alcor in question entered the service In ISIS,
fought in the Peninsula, and received particular notice for
his gallantry at the battle of Waterloo. lie there took the
post of Hogyemont, which was called the key of the posri-
tion. Oh his return to this country, he became a partne
ki a trading mining. concern—he became what was called a
sleeping partner, and was prevailed on to do so on the
Misrepresentations, as they were afterwards admitted to be,
of the other partners. In the summer of 1514, he went to
France, and on his retorts beard various rumours as to tke
ruinous state of the concern. lie sent his brother into
Worcestershire to inquire into the actual state of the bosh-
sees, the result of which was, that Colonel Home offered
env terms to the other partners to let Mm out. That they
refused to do, end still kept up his liability. His next step
eras, under the *deice of Counsel, and for his own protect
lion, only to eccept bills drawn by his brother on him.
which he accepted in the name of the firm. The object by
so doing was to draw the whole business Into* settlement.
A short time after, when Colonel Home was in Scotland, he
vies informed that a gross and malicious placard was et-

to his agent to investiate it, and from the sts sebieli were
taken, it was proved g
to be totally unfoundeep d. The very
agent to his opponents declared, by a letter of 1817, that
his conduct was of the most honourable and gentlemanly
nature. In n short time after this Colonel Home was sure
'prised to receive a letter front Colonel Hill of the Cards.

resolutions, tchielt he (Mr. Bennet) considered as most

dered that the de, lara•iou of a Court Martial would affect

come of the Bills, and it aas therefore better, torier

Judge-Advocate gave his opinion that this officer email

ferently roue' ituted. flot the gteat complaint against
Colonel Home was, that he drew these bills in direct
violation, of the articles of partnership, of which he
was entirely coe,noseent, and to which he was a party.
--He (Mr. B.) denied that Cohntel Home ever wae
a par to teis agreement. This lie, contended
to be the feet, from the omission of hie name to the article
of partnership, and from hie having never received them.
Another charge was that of Isis withdraesing himself
from the service of the injunction before the Coert of
Chancery. But, in this latter part of his conduct, be
. (Mr. It) contended that there was nothing unbecoming
or unzeutlemanlv. Besides, the evidence to this fact
was far from conctuelve. The state of thh case appeared
to be this: Colonel Home was confined to his bed at
. Windsor When the injunction came dosn to be served.
Mr. Winning'on, the. Solicitor, to whom that service
• was committed, came to the Colonel's quar'ers to inquire
for him, and there met with a person in coloured clothes,
to whose questions reepecting his business with the Co-
lonel, .however, he refuted to give any answer, to. ' This
• •persotetnrned out to be Qoarter•master Weatenra, who,
as Mr. Witutington said in his evidence, had instructions
front Col: Home to personate him,. so as to avoid the ser-
vice of the injunction. The glarter-maeter, however,
and the Colonel's seri ant denied that he had any such
instructions 'from Colonel Home. This was a strong
contradiction n

Ihe conclusion to which this Court came was, as

discreditable to him in tho extreme. By the articles of,
agreement, all the partners were prevented from draw
ing or endor‘ing bills of exchange egeept the manager..
But Colonel Home construing this engagement not to:
extend to " accepting," had his brother to di aw Mittel
upon him, which he accepted. Now, although this tm-
struction, in a technical seism. might be correct; it was%
certainly ungentlemanly and dislionunrable -to put suchl
a construction upon it. In a discussion upon the greed
tion afterwards in a Court of law, Lord Ellenborsaminl
decided, that the drawing of bill by his brother whilst
acting as his agent, made it in all respects his arm open
the principle law "qui. Tacit per allure. /iiii; per. Sc. i
It was clear that the value g.iveu fur the bills eel quite I
fictitious, fur as they came into the hinds of umbrella-
makers, comb-makers, and cloth-makers, the object''
clearly was to bring them all into the market, and IN
fix the concerti smith their amount. The bills were
drawn in the name of David /loam, but as this was de-
clare! to be the same as if the olel imself kad I
diewnt them, Ise hail so fat violated t Cheon agrehement into

loss tome upon what grounds this transaction could be j
vindicated. lie knew that the concern was in a &din-
Lag mato, and that it did nut even pay the 'Merest of 115
capital. The payment of •these bilk, therefore, should i
be 111A.1t1 out of their capital. But could Colonel Horne
say, that he had been unfairly dealt with; Certaiuly I
not. He had entered jute the concern with his eyes

any more, lest he shaittl injure the property to i mush.
The injutrtion being ' granted,, Mr. Wit.itington
was charged with 'jibe service of it.-----The No-
ble• Lord then refaced te.,the evidence of the other
Witnesses• to this Wet, from which .lie contended
it was clear that Colonel Home was awaeCof the 'more
of the injunction, and lied employed a prison to repre-
sent hint, and so @hole `the service of this process. Of
this contact, which was certainly most ougentletimuly
sad unothcer like, the Court of Inquiry found inns guilty.
Bub in fact, the first &eke which the Cournauder-io-
Chief had of this transaction, was by his limits; his at-
tention called to a placard which was posted up in all
~parts of the metropolis. Counter-placards afterwards a--
peered, issued, it must be presumed, by the friends of
,Clonel lims, vindicating his conduct ; hut the Noble
• Lord asked,n was, this the way in which a Lieut.-Colood
of the Guards should reply to such en Weak? The
Noble Lord here produced an immense placard, which
was the one alluded to. He (Lord P.) had no hesitation
in saying now that it was the original intention of the
Commauder-in-Chief to have brought Colonel Home to
a Court Martial, but the Judge Advocate gave an opinion
against the measure, ou the 'ground that it involved
questions affecting third parties. Colonel bonus having
applied to he Courts of Law to ascertain whether the
production of these papers could be insisted upou, was
answered by Chief Justices Abbott and Dallas, that the
Minutes of a Court of Inquiry could not be demanded,
though those of a Court Martial might. But it was not
true that. a Court of Inquiry was either unconstitutional
or novel in its principle. 'I here were now to he filund
Records of Boards of Inquiry, as far back as the middle
of the last century, and there could be no doutt but they
,existed long before. The Noble Lord then read at
length the opinions of the Chief Justices upon the case+
submitted to them. The gist of these ripinions was, that
as the King had it always in Isis power to dismiss Lis
officers, the bringing
wiserthm before a Court of Inquiry, as
a preparatory step, ther an set of kindness than
otherwise.. After spine,nioo obsereatlena in the to

Dr. LUSIIINGION was convinced that the two sys•
trios of jurisdictions could not go tan ;together, and wished
to know whether the consent of the inhabitants bail been
obtained fur the proposed alterations : if not, it would he
most uust to legislate for them without knowing whs.-
' ti the proposed measures were likely to be approved by
them, or were conformable to their habits.
Mr. WILMOT said be founded this measure on a his•
tory which had been published respecting is colony.—
lie said there were peculiar circumstances in the state of
soriity in Newfoundland, which would render it impos-
sible to ealloet the opinions of the inhabitants as to the
regulations which Uoverntuent might think tit to esta-
blish here, awl for iehich Government would take the
whole responsibility on themselves. The SUMO circurn-

ISALF-PAT PENSIONS IN IRELAND.
General (MSCUYNE complained of the hardship of
the present system, in snaking the- payment of half-pay
officers arid widows in Irish currency merely incidental
upon their residence in that country. It prevented the
residence of that class in that country, the wautof which
nes now so flinch deplored—naniely, a resident gentry,
by imposing a tax of Si per cent. upon their residence.
The Lion. Member concluded by musing for a copy of the
warrant of the 6th of the present month, issued trout the
War Office, ordering that the pensions of half-pay officers
and widows, and orphans of officers, residing to Deland,
should be paid in Irish currency.
Lord PALMERSTON said that he would not oppose
the motion of the Hon. Member, but he thought that be
should have also moved for copies of the warrants issued
in Sept. and May, in order to give the House the fullest
information upon the subject. Ile did not think it un-
reasonaltte that those resident in Ireland should be pant
in Irish currency, when it was considered that they paid
for every article they used in that currency. If an ahem-
tion Awes to he made in bayou of half-pay officers in Ire-
laud, it would produce a difference of one hundred thou-
sand punnda a-year.
Gen.IiNSCOYNE explained.
Sir J. NEWPORT said that the Noble Lord should
recollect that those who were paid in Irish currency were,
however, obliged to pay the taxes in British currency.—
He maintained that so far from attaching a penalty of Si
per cent. upon the residence of lialf-pay Officers in Ire-
land, there was no class of men whose residence in that
country ought to be more encouraged, because there
were none who could more contribute to improve the in-
Mint of the country by the valuable store of information
they had acquired. The Noble Lord forgot that there
was no penalty imposed upon a residence in France.—
They who went to reside in that country were still plaid
in British cutreucy. It was a strange anomaly that it was
only in tat counry where their residence s most
wanted, that they incurred a penalty for choosinwag it as
their abode.
Mr. HUME lieped that the pay' of all the army would
be put un an equal footing. He entirely concurred in the
sentiments of the Hon. Baronet.
The motion was agreed to.
Lord PALMERSTON then moved for copies of the
Warrants issued trot' the War office in Sept. and May of
last year, ordering officers on half-pay, and widows and

sary to state to the Howe the principle he was desitous

and Ireland consisted or 39 persons, receiving adequate
