Lord BROUGr.AM.-Mr. Attorney,- the Speaker([ the House of Lords need not be a membsr'eyen of that house. The ATTONCEY-GENgRAL.-NO, my Lord, sad I remember a very lively instance of an tIlustrious individual taking his :eat as Lord Charceller and Speaker of that House witiout even being r peer. (Referring to Lord Brougbam himself.) Bet tha 42 GJeorge III. was a demonstration that the Legis- lature conceived that.the ,iblicatiso was not to be for the members alone, because it gave members power to send Par, .lismentary papers free of postage to their constituents for the u aso ef the r v which of Itbol clearly showed that the pub. lication vwas for the information of the publio. It had been ,said, the House ef Commons qould noto an e the law4s.; but .you wero not to assume they had not the right in order to deprivq tbem of that right; You munt prove they had not the right. It wvs then said there was a wrong, and that there was no redress for it; but you was not to sesuome thero was a wrong, you roust prove it to be so-tbere must be the con- lunction of the damnusa and (he itnuria. No action would lie cigainst a witness for the ividence he might give in a court o,i3ustice-no actien would lie against counsel for any thinic h4o might soy in the discharge of bis nay in a court ofjustice ne action would lie for a cornsmitment bvthe IHouse of Com. mons: P;itey bad no remedy, Lord Shafteshury had no remedy; and rw,hy f-because you could not aivo n remadv wILuOU; UeprlYlpg tne tvwo ouses ot Parltiament of their pri- vilege, waih s oessaUti3l to the welfare. of the communit'y No action would lie forai confideiltial commnunication or lite- rary oriticism, so ttat It was not malicious and with a ie-w to private defamation. Hq need not -remind their. Lordshipa .that tho privileges of tb Hoise of Comrmons were inherctt tbey -were as anscient as the prerogrative of the Crown. They' woro the inherent birthright of Englisaon. ,There was a marked digtinctiUon. betweeni publishinig thte debatta and pub. lisbing those pa ra; the house exercised its discretion as to what sbou d beo published and whet ahoald be kept secret. The object was to keepi secret from the Crown the measures that were ia agitation before the Ffouso of Commons, 60 as to prevent the Usber of the Black Rod beingadtenret tosunmpoCtu the khlouofor a dissolution. published, and.. that .a the u g should_he_paid Out of the Inflammatory speeohes wQuld be made, nad exorbitact damnogs would ba. gise;n indeed, we should not then havo one Stockdalo, but 5 0 Stockdales- who would all bring aon,.. It had been said, this privilege wao of re- cant origin, and that you must carry back the instances as far as Richard 1., but then that would deprive the House of Commons of all its privileges, bemause it did not exist as a geparate court of judicature beyond time of legal memory. The Court of Chancery could not be shown to havo existed beyond the time of lfgal memory: before the Uniformni-ty of Process Aot,-what was s%id to be the jurisdiction of that COurt itself was founded upon a fiction. The Court of Com- mon Pleas had its uaual jurisdiction upon a fiction ; it was ns older than Charles If., for then ac etiams and nec sons were unknown, The learned counsel then argued, that al- thouh there might be a loss, there was not always a remedy, for when a publication was unlawful the. party printing it might auffer, and ho thon cited the caso of " Stockdale v. Onwhyn," in which Stpckdile, the plaintiff in the present pro^eeding, brought an. action against a bookseller for ro- printing tho jvtnemi sUar.t*Uo Wilson, wb6oh Stockdale had fisrt publisbed ' -de.4ofenca..srtbat the publica- tion was imnioral- and it was held that the plaintiff wa9 unable to rbt v p zeisot plaintiff bimself hid thea takenud4aatageaE that deforrce withrespectto that very work. The printerof the workbrouFht anactioa againat Stockdalo, for Wis work and labour in printing the book, and for the paper he bad used. Tho def9nce set unpon that occa- sion was, that the work was of an immoral tendency. Air. Searjeant Vaughan, woawwas counsel for the printer, asked the Judge& whethee it was possiblo that [r. Steckdala could set up such a defence., Lord Chief Justice Best,. who tried the 6aua,e decideo that he might, and tho plaintiff was nonsuited. It was therefore clear that there must b a right as well as a loss, in order to give a sood cause of action. The learned counsel then cited a large-body of authorities9 upeo the whole cse, and to show that courts of law had exercised tho privi- legc of forbidditig publicatlons of trials in their courts and ordering otharztoaepu tilished, and then said, "We now comne, my Lords to the case of ' Stockdals and Hansard,' trIed before'.,y LordDensman.. No doubt the greatest re- speot is to beszbown to any opinion of any Judge-sach as we have the happiness to me presiding in this court; but, cay Lord, 'with e aery respect, I must use the freedom to say that think , nder th pec lcllar circnmnstances of this casep his tordlsiehi,cself*wAll be of opieion that this case is to bo con- sidaewd assesissteqro,and will not consider himself to be bound by tho opinion he thn expressed. That,my Lords,was an action for a liel in publishing an extract from these very reporta. Two pleas were put upon the record-one.of not guilty,and the otber ajstifiestionofthe truth of tha charge. I knew no- thing of that cae until within two days of the trial, and had no opportanityof considering how. the pleashocld be framed- or preparing myBerf to' argue the censtitutional question be- fore Lord Donman.

Mr. CuRW oon, eD behalf of the plaintiff, thou said, that after the ver onseedhao his ld nd, and the variety of subjeert he had gone into, he would prefer a peti- tion to their Lordships to grant him till to-morrow morning to makeo his reply. Lord DiZwAN said that ho perceisa d in another case the plalitfw's counsel bad beou heard in Clilury Tors n the Attoruey-General had then asd leave givn himn till Easter 'erm, and after he hnd concluded his address the Court had given judgmzent the estee day. Mr. CUBWODD said he only asked till tomorroe e Lord Dslati observod, that they could not sacrifdce the rest of the term to thia case, and it would be impossible for Nr. Carwood to go into these matters to-uorrow morning; therefore the Court would tive him till next term. Mr. CUBiWOOD having thanked their L ordships, Lord Dmai AXn saidh t wish to sai that e did net know what trial was coming on when I went into Court to sit at .iu pns-c on, this trial on a former eccasion. I only heardsl ome- thiug of it by findb3g that the morning newapar.ers of London were ful of a debate which had occmrred in the Hsouse ot Cormrons 'reltive to circumstances that had taken place at the chombers of Mr. Justice Littlodalo, and I felt I was pls,oed in a situation of great difficulty, knowsing the jurn twer coming intorthesbex, havinggobtined ome in- formation t s to that very tral wyhich they were then to de- cide. That was the state of things when I came itto the court. I determinpd not to look at the particudars of that debate, lest anythig should fall frome me he ing the smallest reference to it. I cannot disguise that i felt the extreme in- conveniencof knoweing that when I wls preparing to try at case, and xry the issue respecting the rights of trio ndtoiri 4uals, that the case should not ohly hase been made tho sub- ject of discussion th the Houe of gomntonsk but that thatd- discussion should have been permitted to be bruited abroad in the streets of Lolden, hlrdly capable of vgoiding the eyes of those who ought to have ceme unpiedged intoethe box to ry the istue. With regard to what I said on that occasion I g wd, by referring to it, that the opinion I the writh great con- fidence exprlesed, thinking myself hound to declare that oeinions, us the Attorney-General had thought it right to rest on that clain of peivilegre-.I then stated that I did so subject tn any correction that the Court might think it p roper to ad- minister, and I will declare, seitwithatabding the reference toads to the publlcation:an.d. to other matters-whicha I think a new mode of arguing a question of demurrer upon a. point of law, that I shall bring my mind to the consideratior of this question totally unfettered by wvhat fell from me before, but perfectly 'loterminod to do my duty according to my sense of justice and to my belief of what the lawi is, without the least regard to that imputation whichmight perhaps have been in.- ferred, from some of the remarks made in the course of this argument, The Aros"nr-GwNaRAL immediately rose and addresed the CourL-kky Lord, I can assure your Lordship that I had -?W'gter,ot, At-alL 25. - -- - - -mmtnr k' OTRBER.
