siten which england hGd assumed. lie had no des re
to provoke an angry controversy between the Para-
fent Of England bud the French nation. lie ydued
the French alliance highly and, il ne uttered n
gle word Of attack against 1t, he should oe violating
6is own convictions. lie was not an ednirer Of the
spirited policy CT the noble lord al the head oi tae
Government; but he had always consoied himself
with The satisfaction that, notwithstanding tue quar-
Iels OF the Loble lord in various pard OF the "ord,
be would never endanger the friendly relations Of the
country with FrenChmcn, on which the peace aud
prosperity Of Europe and the world depended. lie
wished TO explain the Parliamentary position OF his
amendment. 1t might be said that 1t was not direct
attack on the bill. His object was rather 20 invite an
expression Of opinion from the House which, while
it would not defeat the bill, would only arrest ~
progress for the time avng II open - any one 10
AGAIN proceed with il. hs opinions were adverse to
the bill. But ali might with perfect consistency
state their opinions Of the conduct Of Government IN
the negotiations with respectto the affair and whether

been placed on record together with IT, lie should have
mTch preferred TO have brought on bi motion as asuh-

Of the HOUSE ON the terms of the moaon before the
passIrg of the BILL He cen not anticipate any OBJ
lection to the sentiment expressed IL IT, Tor through
out the length and breadth oi the land the attempt on
the Emperor Of the French was viewed with univer-
sal detcs.ation iChecrs. Again, he agreed that II

they ought not to proceed without que lnvestgat,on;
for conspiracy u charge which included the dove

ful ett introduced innovation dangerous ana oP
pressiyc to the liberty Of the subject. lie should
have preflred that the Statute Law Comnisslon should
have taken up the sgbect rather than that any crude
notions Of his Of other persons shouid be hastily
ps sscd into law. In 1856 the attention Of that Com
nesion had been directed to the ,ubject aod to the
difference between the law Of England and Ireland;
and in their Consolidation bill the CommissoneIs had
deliberately omitted to am6lfamHte the two II was
moi correct TO reply That Their Otec vas to coneedate

they had proposed changes. lie could not ray the law

sons engaging IN 1t, or aiding and o1ers 70

Allsop and Others; and, a. he beheVed, there was
more chance Of Furnishing them under the law as II
stood than there would be under th2 bill lie was not
asking for definite opinion On the merts"i ne bhl

present circumstances TO read II second TINE. II
was quite reasonable 10 ray that the House was reao
al all times to remedy defects IN the law, even II
pointed out by foTciS IN country; but there was
-pecies Of swkwardness N this species OF dHr,s'e.
The noble lord said he going 10 make tins change
in the law without this French dispatch. Why then,
was that dispatch laid the table 81 the basis Oh
their sub tsecuent proceedings Hear, hear In the
fret speech Of the noble lord there was not word oi
ills Intention to remedy the alleged defect IN the
criminal law. itwas second thought. in the third
paragraph Of h $ amendment he expressed his regret
that Government had not replied dign.hediy And
courteonsly, AID had rot defended and placed on
record the greB. principles Of the rGLt OF asy luu
He believed great lsapprehension e1sted tnroughou

Naltwski Rad asked, in Lis dispatch, whether il was
rcLt in Englard TO sheor assassins who had placed
themselves without the pale of humanity III no
answer was returned, It was an admsson, by our
silence that, With ou eyes open, We sheltered assas-
Airs and favored their designs. Was that true He
agreed wth the honorable member for Sheffield, that
the people of England abhored assuss.naton a. much
asthe people Of any nation on the face of the earth
True, ess8ssirs might live In Eng.and, and we had
