I CALL it Mr. Robinson's House by way of double compliment to "THE WISDOM OF PARLIAMENT." that Gentleman and to that House. My readers cannot have forgotten "Be it enacted, by the King's the lofty eulogium, pronounced "Most Excellent Majesty, by and by that Gentleman upon that "with the consent of the Lords House; how he praised it for its Spiritual and Temporal, &c. . . wisdom, how he extolled it for all That, in every case in the blessings which we enjoy; "which a verdict or judgment by how he lashed the Radicals for "default shall be had against any having calumniated and vilified person for composing, printing, that House; how he said that the "or publishing any seditious libel, House had made the country "TENDING to bring into ha- joyous, smiling in plenty, happy "tred or CONTEMPT, either and contented; how he made us "HOUSE OF PARLTA-go upon our marrowbones in ex"MENT, &c. the per- pressing gratitude to the Great son so convicted shall, for a House that had showered down second offence, be adjudged, at blessings upon us; and (Oh Lord!) the discretion of the Court, how he received "LOUD AND "either to suffer such punishment "LONG-CONTINUED as may now by law be inflicted," CHEER'S FROM ALL "as in cases of high misdemea-" PARTS OF THE HOUSE." ແ nors, or to be BANISHED One single newspaper, pub "FROM THE UNITED |lished on Friday the 26th March, “KINGDOM, and all other contains reports relating to pro" parts of His Majesty's dominions, ceedings in this same House. “for such term of years as the These proceedings appertain to "Court shall order." four distinct subjects; the Game, Six-Acts, passed December 30, 1819. the Poor, the Turnpikes, and the A Printed and Published by C.

I remember, that the House was so praised, and that that venerable personage the that it so cheered the praiser, let Lord Chancellor, said that the us take a look at the proceedings Bill was spoiled, when the bato which I have just alluded.

I think it impossible to deny us this right; for if this be denied us, this publication of debates is a very pretty thing after all. We are to keep our ears open, but our mouths are to be shut: we are to enjoy the charm of reading the delightful their bodies, boast of English speeches, but the affair is too sa- freedom of the Press, as comcred for us to offer an opinion pared with the state of the Press in France and Spain.
