gentleman at the bar ouKnt 10 De consiucre'
The word THING is understood generally IS
word of contempt. Nothing contemplate come
from the gentleman at the bar such wor'
might naturally strike him ; and his not beng sl
member Of this house, so as to know Inc riies
oft, excuses Inn for showing his spirit on I'M
occasion, when he thonght himself aifronted. Ht
is under the protection of the house, ana no I'm
proper question ought to be asked. In 'hat cast
he may demand the protection OF the holse' ano
so may every person who IS examined Al this
bar. =. 49,.
Mr.. E. BURKE. Irise to apologize for the gem
tleman next me. I am perfectly sure he did not
mean to atTront the gentleman at the bar. know
The gentleman there extremely well, his great a.
bhties, learning and character; he has distln
guished himself by his writings and behaviour,
and nubody here, or any where else can treat hun
with contempt !; but we should have been very
glad to have had his information. / aln sensible
that he is in very trying situation. HIS mfor.
nation is Withheld. 1t is a distress upon him, and
an insult upon us to refer us to MN, when II was
known before hand that it was not likely he
should think himself at liberty to give us his O.
uinion viva voce, after what he has written was
refused US by others. 1t was however, very nat
ura for us to call for him. We had no other
hone ot obtaining information OF great authority
All the world knows that the kings Advocate
General, the Attorney and Solicitor General, from
the nature of their very high offices, have the
pnwer of obtaining every sort OF information. All
is open to them in every department They can
enter behind the veil. The sanctum sanctorun
of state must be frequently and confidently sub
mtted to their view but the curtain is draw
upon us, and the door is shut How, then, are we
TO pet nformationl nsk shall we have 1t from
the other Grown Lawyers! The answer IS, the!
stand upon their own ground, and take and mar
row it when and where they please, as members
within the bar; and the gentleman who pro
in office, but who stands without the bar, neces'
sarly suffers from variety of torturing questions
put 10 him on speculative points, which it must
put any man under difficulties to answer, espe
cially one in his station. | never should have
concurrcd in the motion TO examine him.. it the
former motion for the address for paper iD gene
raj had not been over ruled.

A. sRouLD cHUsE TO BE TRIED by THEM. Btl
think OF jures as do of every thing else it thi
word--every thing is imperfect. | have oite
considered the different modes OF trial IN d!iier
cnt countries the Civil Law Courts, the Court
cf Common Law and Chancery; their modes ar
all defective in discovering truth. Jurics ar
ike most other men and things they have thei
excellent qualities, and they have their bad ones
q. Does he think it will be hardship upo
he Canadians not to have Jurles not to hav
their lives and properties tried by a jury or G
their own ncighborhood Would il be their hal
riness or unhapplness!

A. No person has a true impression OF tl-o
gree Of pain or pleasure Of another being lie
