LONDON, Tuesday, Aug. IA, ls3s.-The Canada In
demnity Bill was read third time last night in The
House OF Lords
On this location Lord Denman delivered his sen,i.
ments the measure. He had atteuded, he said with
the interest the debates which had
on this subject, and the question which arose out Of
tAe ordinance Of Lord Durham Of the 2sh of June and
he must confess that he a clear and decided
opinion that the ordinance perfectly ndeensible in
point OF principle Bahewas by satisfied that
Lord Durham not justified in ordering the prisoners
be transported the Bermudas, and he could not
make up his miad on the point Until he had an opportu
nifty OF searching the acts Of Parliament. With respect
10 bills OF indemnity he opposed them princi-
pie and he had been recently looking to the debates in
1915 and he there found that when bill Of indemnity
introduced tie Of the suspension of the
Habeas Corpus Act Of its foremost opponents was
Mr.. Lsmbon. He had dot the least doubt that If Lord
Durham were now in the House he would object the
present bill.
The objection taken by Lord Dennan on principle to
bills Of indemnity seems just and reasonable. If a
wrong has been done individuals consequence Of
violation Of the law. they ought to be deprived of
tkeir remedy In the Of criminal prosecution the
Crown may stop IN hnqisae by aoe prosegni and in
OF onvicion pardoa tae rsnsgressor. But where
civil action is instituted. the officer who has violated
the law in the discharge of his duty ought receive
compensation from the public To deprive the sufferer
Of hsredress 10 throw him exclusively burthen
which ought TO be borne by the community. Lord Den
clearly right IN principle. Public must
be protected when acting in the discharge Of duty
which they dare not refuse but there is evident dis
for done in the discharge of their duty and deprv
ing the individuals wronged by such Of the redress
10 which they ented. The public, in its abstract
capacity, has right TO prsht by demanding sacrifices
FROM individuals This would be reprehensibe on the
ground that has made whatever Of CENTS alton
nRpalatable in our times.
Buthe question. however interesting generally, is OF
no importance with reference to Lord Durham far il
the maxim quotedby Lord Brougham holds good rolspn
non f injid then the individuals who petitioned for
the very which Lord Durham adopted towards
them necessarily pecludsd from complaining Of n
jury
But the measure Of the hands Of the Lords
whatever may be its fate elsewhere.
