The Noble Lord also rel e oed 'v his principal int‘al services, and to the dreadful streets which the punichmetit of pilk r y would !vine on his Lordship ; and concluded hy inayine, " Finn an humble Aildrts% be presented to his Royal Iliehness ME Pripet. Re. . - gent, pra:Aog that he would he graciously pleased to noun the i s o u . minims.: part of the sentence passed upon 'Lod Cochrane, in conAder. itn of his professional services." Lard Nyco NT Sinolloed the motion, very ably supporting. the argu. !rents of Lord Essington. The Soutetrott GEN a.t, (Mr. Serjeaht Shepherd) opposed the motion. Ile considered the Noble Lord's former services acted rather as an aggravation than a palliation of his clime. Ile had read the evi. do nee and summing up of the Judo., and could truly and costseen. tionsly declare, in the presence of God, that it' he were on the Jury, he should Ikel himself hound to give the seine verdict, even it it were auniust his brother. Ili, Lordship's Solicitors were as honourable men any in the profession. They had been accussd of negligence its pre• paring his defence, but the truth wa., it had iecn prepared by the his structions of the Noble. Lord himself. The brie f was read :o him for his approbation ; the muminatitin of witnesses was also read and eon. 'reefed by hiin, iu ime partietihr. After all this it was stated, that the Noble Lerd had bren careless in prepnring his defence. Mr BA RHAM •UppOrird the otiotion. Mr. Weotti tscsy 'to a view of the whole case, thought the Nob)* Lord gull?) , of toe charge iinguted to him Lord A. !Issue-to.. supported the motion. There was no evidence of De Berenger's appealing before Lord Cochrane in the dress he had assumed, and the charge to the Jury was therefore so tar incorrect. Mr. Ascii r a 'Lill on thOULhr the House bad nu right to interfere. Mr. Wv:.. a Collt6ided, on the contrary. thit there was no prero gative of the Crown with which the House hud not a right to interfere. lie considered the evidence sufficient to warrant the coaviction. Mr. Ile HST was f,f opinion that the sentence was more ignominious than the occasion ceded loc. One part of it might at any rate have been spaced Lord CA STLIIRF ACT! saw no reason for parliamentary interference. Alter expatiating at some length on the mucmtude of tin- crime, which went to overthrow and subvert the security of property in this country, his Lordship proceeded to state, that, its consequence of a- L econat.en. 1 .0 the Crown, its mercy would be iorerposed on this occ.ision; not, however, merely to screen Lord Cochrane from the pillory, but the other petsons who wr-.e reut••t:ecd to the same punishmen4 with hint. •l•tris was Rut done (and Ito wished it to be perfectly understood) from sissy doubt of the proptiety of the cmtviction anti Of the sentence, asit respected the morality erf• the case, and the prop. rty of the country. This step was taken, because the crime was so little known to E•gitsb srmen--because it was a sonrce of emolument they very rarely emoarked in. The Crown, under all the circumstances, felt, as the law was in. tended for example and prevention, that the sentence *night he ►emitted in the present inytance, in the Lope, that tl e offence being ts,us pub• licly h?anded, woehi nut occur again. S;r F. bun:mt . : rettretted that the Noble Lord had. rot made the declaration, with tshicto he concluded, is little sooner, by which meats the time of tt•e Howe would have been spared. He could not, how e• er, help thinking the cause given fur remitting the pillory most ex traordinary—because funds st ere extremely sure On the Stock Ex thange ! It he (sir Francis) met a gentleman - in the hail, read stattd this to have been the reipon ussiped, he should expect that he would laugh in his lace. _ _ The ArrottwEv•GENEßst, said, it was utterly impossible for P n honest Jury yo have deci•led otherwise than the Jury io this ease had ; he had no doubt when the rift rvescence Gf p-polar prejudice should have subsided, and ti - e public cone to the exercise of their sober judge latent, that they would agree with him iu this conclusion. Lord EISIUNGTON said, the pillory befog monied, he should with. draw him motion. Mr. liot.mEi hoped Lord Cochrane would release his Counsel and Soloci!or trout their obligattfm of secrecy, otherwise every matt must come to the conclusion that he was guilty. Alter some further remarks from Mr. Abercrombie and Mr. Whit. bread, the caution was withdrawn. TUESDAY, JUI Y 19.
