HOUSE OF COMMONS.
EE LONDON, April 5
SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

Mr.. ADAM congratulated the house, on
its coming coolly and deliberately TO consi..
der this important question. If the opinions
delivered by his hon. and learned friend (Sir
D. Romilly) were promulgated he would
say there an end to the authority of
this house - { Universal cheers. Should

the people, which it indicated against the
assertions of James /. and Charles IL
should this house, which forced James H. to
abdIcate his throne--which has ever struar
gled against the innovations of the crown.
and in which struggle it has always been
successful, though COPIED with tyranny.

rights! Should democratic power, when
probed to the bottom, be now passed over in
silence-( Hear, hear He was astonish-
ed, that one OF such perspicuity and appli-
cation as his learned friend, should state.
that the present question depended on the
case OF Gale Jones-that the house was oc.
cupied in the consideration of the past, and
not the present subject. On what does the
power of a court of Judicature rest. but mn
the maintenance of its character? Has it
been forgotten, that this is one of the mi
mary courts Of Judicature? He then pro
ceedcd to read passage from Lord Coke's

the people, or to maintain its authority.

liceutious, is certainly Injurious, but il is
essential TO government Hear, hear ! J
In word no supreme power can exist with
out Il right of punishment for contempt
The case of Gale Jones was a despicab1e
ground on which to put this question. Upon
this subject it was argaed, that no one could
be considered guilty of contempt unless com
mitted in presence of the house. Could il
be possible that the authority of the House
OF Commons and the House of Lords is put
in the situation of that of the Constable of
the night WHO possesses the right OF commit
ting drunken man to the watch house. be
cause he Is an obstruction Loud Cheers. J
Mr.. Justice Blackstone states as clear as
possible, that the authority of a court rests
on its inquisitorial powers and in what does
this consist, but in the right of Furnishing for
contempt s-Once deprived of this, its au T.

when the voice Of the people through that
House, would dive away the present Min
listers from the reins of power, such was his
devoted prayer yet this was an object i'm.
attainable, unless by protecting their priv
leges. The Hon. Member referred to the
precedent of 1774, in the case of MIR. Wood
