Mr. Stanford said the word perpetual"

a partial and not general bill, or he should
nave no objection to its being made herma-

concur with the amendment, and called for
the yeas and nays upon the motion.
Mr.. Campbell moved to amend the amend

Mr.. Stanford objected to this; for bv o.
uniting the term of limitation to the bill. the

In answer to this, it my be asked haw is
such restriction to be carried into erect ;
once admit the writer, and the power is in
ms own hands. But how could the best inten-
toned writer avoid cumming into the testimo.
ny, in detailing the proceedings, which ere.
made up OF testimony, observations upon il.
questions arising out of it, and decisions
which would convey no idea if unaccom,,ani
ed by 1t. What then, is the reporter to pub
hsh The mere ordinary forms usual in all
courts :, This would not be considered by
the public as worth the reading it might in
deed excite curiosity, but could never salts
fly it.
Besides the foregoing reasons, the court are
uniformed OF any precedent in this or any
other country where the proceedings of a
Court or enquiry were published before they
were concluded and submitted to the authori-
ty by which the court was constituted.
The court have therefore decided that mo

that III the present instance, however, it might

On the other hand, it was said that the applica-
tioii was couclied III terms which We're 100 vague
and general; il was not denied that reasonable
time and the proper means should pc allowed to
the accused TO make defence, but it con-
tended that it became the Senate in the first In
stance to fix the time and means, instead of a.
doping an abstract proposition which might by
future misconception be productive of great and
injurious delay. The right of an accused Sena-
tor, to all the forms Of judicial trial strenu-
ously denied and it was insisted that the senate
did not, in such case either possess the power
ofcosrcing the attendance of witnesses, of COM
pensating them for their attendance that III this
