Tu; House of Assembly has been for the renter

rt of the last week, sitting as a Committee 0 Privi- lrges in conse uence of an expression used b ward Palmer, sq., the member for Charlottetown— under circumstances of great provocation—imputing perju to some member or members 0 that House, in swearing to qualifications which he or they’ knew them- pelves to be destitute of. The Hon. Edward Whelan,

for reasons best known to himself, chose to assume, that"-he was the person so sti matized, and appealed to

‘the House for protection. Fhe House responded to the appeal, and took the matter into especial consider- ation. been put in possession of the facts given in evidence before the Committee of privileges, enter fully into a discussion of the propriety of the measures adopted on this occasion, by the House, we shall, for the present, refrain from entering into particulars, further than to say, that the House havin pro sad to Mr. Palmer that he should a logize to r. helan, or make ood his assertion, r. Palmer preferred the latter a ter- native." The House having formed itself into a Com- lnittee of Privile es, alter hearing a number of witness- es, came to the ollowing rcsolutions:—

Resolved. As the opinion of this Coniiiiiitsa, that Edward Palmer, Esq., has failed to subataniiate his implied char e of Perjurys inst the Hun. Edward Whelan, a member of this I ease, as ma e y him during the Debate on the Law era’ Bill.

Resolved, As the o inion of the omniittee, that the Deed laid on the Table of the ease by the Ilou. Edward Whelan. is a suf- Scient qualification to entitle him to a seat in this House. ass mam-

Rshs:l'::d’. That as Edward Palmer, Esq., a Member of this House, has failed to prove the chiirga—-li iinplicaIion—of Perjury suede by him against the Hon. Falward hslan. be called upon by the Hosea to retract ssch char e, in accordance with the Resolu- tisn, ofthe lloase. ot' the 2d . arch, instant.

With the first and second resolutions we have nothing to do at resent, their propriety or impropriety, truth or falsehood: will receive a full ajid impartial investigation herealler. ith the requisitions of the third, r. Palmer very judiciously and properly complied; it being the duty of every member of a particular society, vo- luntarily to submit to the will of the majority, when that submission is accom anied by no personal degradation or loss of honor. sking a false oath does not neces- sarily imply, thst the party has been guilty of perjury; and, although Mr. Palmer may be, and probably is as well, if not tnore fully convinced, that Mr. VVhelan has no legal qualification to entitle him to a. seat in that I-Iouse,_as he was before the -investigation began, yet he did right in retracting the words which implied that he had been guilty of perjury. He was of necessity, obliged to make some sacrifice of his own personal feelings to a sense of the duty he owed to his constitu- ents; who would, in case of his contumacy, have been let! unrepresented, and that, too, at a time when many matters in which their interests are concerned, are un- der consideration.

It was matter of licy to succumb for the moment, as it was evident nothing would have given more sin- cere lessure to the artisans of Mr. Whelan, than that Mr. almer should ve declined to act in accordance with the resolution, and thereby rid them of an oppo- nent who has been, and will continue to be one of the most powerful obstacles to their continuance in ofiicc. There was another reason which, we doubt not, had much weight with Mr. Palmer. Among all the votes of the House, there was not an opinion expressed, which tended to exonerate, still less honorably acquit Mr. Whelan from that suspicion of the offence, which neces- ssril arose out of the evidence adduced at the bar. Mr. larlr openly expressed himself, as not having his mind b any means relieved from suspicion, with respect to Whclan‘s qualification. '

Under all the circumstances ofthe case, we are-we repeat—satisficd, that Mr. Palmer could not have acted otherwise than he did; and, that he has come out of the alfair without the slightest loss of honor or decrease of reputation. VVe must not, however, be understood as willin to afford any sanction to the personal remarks and filusions to private character, which are so fre-

uently resorted to, and are so great a scandal to the ouse of Assembly. Had not the provocation given by Mr. \Vhelan to Mr. Palmer, been of the grossest nature, the conduct of the latter would have been high- ly re rehensible; but we must say, we can go great lengtlis in extenuation of language, however severe, which is provoked by a dastardly, unmanly attac on the memory of ii deceased father. Mr. Palmer, has, it Is true, retracted the accusation of perjury, as connec- ted with Mr. Whelan’s swearing to his qualification, but we shall crave leave to suspend our opinion on that pcore, until we have carefully silled the evidence. VVe hgyrnot only no respect, but the most perfect contempt for the decisions of the resent House of Assembly in matters connected with e ections or election law; there not being a single member on the Government side of the House capable of formin a correct opinion on the gubject, setting aside the blin aess superinduced by the

° otry of party seal.

e perceive in the Royal Gazelle of yesterday, that

‘the words "He retracted the charge accordingly, ’ are

t in Roman capitals, for the purpose of attracting at- tention. The imputation of perjury, it_ is true, has bun retracted; but what is the relative situation of the parties? This; Mr. Palmer stands in the situation of

a plaintiff who has been NON-IlJl‘I'ID, and Mr. Whelan is that of s crirriinsl at a Scottish Bar, when the ver- dict, instead of being not ouiarr, is not raovair.

GEORGETOWN COURT.

Tna March Tertn of the Supreme Court was opened ctown, on the 9th inst., by His Honor Mr. Justice cters. The criminal calendar was It ht; yet it '“ mhncholy tn see three youths-—the _el est not phase 18 years of age-—charged with stealing wheat,

the were convicted and sentenced, two to ‘I month! imprisonment, and one to 3 months; the latter had been concerned in two takings, though they might have been and were considered as one ro bery. A bo’y_IlI0_. for stealing cloth, was sentenced to2 months imprison- merit. He was evidently of weak intellect, but had .0... page ions of right and wrong, sulicient to_ war- rant the fin lug him guilty.’ The learned Judge did not fail to caution them to avoid any thing that might bring them before him a secoyid time, as in that case they would not escape so easily. Succles, a colored inan, up tried for receiving stolen goods, but acquitted. There was but one record trial, Doe deni.

We have received, from the Reporter of the House of Assembly the Report of the proceedings, and debate in the Committee of Privileges on the investi ation which arose out of the imputation cast upon Mr. he- lun by Mr. Palmer, the greater part of which is in type. We expect to give the whole in an Extra, or in our next number.
