The Earl OF LIVERPOOL moved that
the bill should be printed, and copies of
it delivered to the Queen. Earl GREY
wished ts know if any other sort of
communication were to be made to the
Queen? He put it to the noble lord
whether the same information ought not
to accompany the bill, to point out to
her majesty the particular occasions
and circumstances which were alluded
to. He wished to know also If n list Of
witnesses were to be given to her legal
advisers. The Earl of LIVERPOOL
thought that it would Be time enough on
the second reading to discuss the mat
ters referred to. AS to giving the ac-
cused list of witnesses, it was wholly
unprecedented in parliamentary pro-
ceedings, whether of impeachment, or
on bill OF pains and penalties, and WAS
nsver allowed even in criminal judice-
turc, cxceptinthe single case oil high trea-
sou. Her majesty would be allowed
her choice, as to whether the accusation
should be proceeded in, or be stai,, in
the first place, until the defence was
ready. Lord DAcRE felt it necessary
to move that the counsel should now
be heard on behalfof the queen, that they
might Ire enabled to state thuse weishty
circumstances alluded TO in the petition.
lie did 50 on information received very
recently. He moved that the counsel
should be called in. Lord LIVERPOOL
thought it would be better to put it of
till tomorrow, when it could be done
without any irregularity, and at which
time he would not attempt to oppose it.
Alter some other general observations by
Earl GREY, Lord LIVERPOOL, the lord
CHANCELLOR, and lord HOLLAND, the
bill was read first time, and co.ies
were ordered TO be delivered forthwith
to the Queen by gentleman usher of
the black rod to the Queens attorney
and soiicitorg general, and to the Kings
attorney general.
In the house of commons, Lord Cas-
TLEREAcH moved for the appointment of
committee to examine the journals Of
the house OF lords, in order to ascertain
whether any and what proceedings had
taken place in that house with respect
to her majesty, and to report their opin-
ion thereupon to the house. The motion
was agreed to, and the committee APP
pointed accordingly. The noble lord
then said, that he had Submitted this
motion with the view which it implied
and il, from the report OF the committee,
it should appear that the other house
had instituted any proceeding, he should
then consider whether. pending that pro-
ceediEg, the notice of a motion which
he had given for tomorrow should not be
dropped, and also whether he should not
Tomorrow move the reading OF the or
der for taking his majesty's message in
to consideration on Friday. with a view
ofmoving the postponement of that order
until some future day. This postpone
meIt he should feel to be proper, in or
der that the house might wait the re-
suit of the proceedings in the house of
lords, still reserying to itself the right
of taking his majesty's message into con-
sideration, if that should be thought me-
cessary. But until the result Of the
proceedings of the lords should be made
known, he submitted that it would be
very inconvenicnt to adopt any mea-
sure. Sir +. NJ. RIDLEY expressed his
hope that the house would not agree to
the course proposed by the noble lord,
declaring that if no other member would
take the sense of the house upon the
subject, he should himself feel it his dQ-
ty to do so.
