ADVERSARIA.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.-Few persons are aware of the various things which have been declared by the House of Lords a breach of privilege; but as these offences are visited with no trifling penalties, we are induced to inform such literary persons as are engaged on the memoirs of noble lords, or in editing their works, that they stand a fair chance of being brought on their knees to their lordships' bar, in reward of their lucubrations. In 1721 the House resolved, that it was a breach of privilege, "after the death of any lord of that House, in any person to print his works, life, or last will, without consent of his heirs, executors, administrators, or trustees!" Having no disposition to incur their lordships' displeasure, we refrain, with very becoming deference, from commenting on this resolution. It is true that there are not many peers at the present day who would venture to bring an author or publisher to the bar for this offence; but as any peer may call upon the House to act upon it, their lordships could not, we apprehend, refuse to enforce a resolution which stands upon the journals; and thus Mr. Moore and all other biographers and editors of noble lords

write with the fear of Newgate before their eyes. It would be worth while to inquire, to what period after a peer's death this resolution extends; and whether the author of the Life of Lord Clarendon, or of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, or even of Robert FitzWalter, marshal of the army of God in the reign of John, or the editor of the Testamenta Vetusta, as that work contains numerous wills of peers who lived in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries, would be amenable? No such protection, we fear, is extended to our monarchs; and whilst we may write the lives of the whole list of kings from William the Conqueror to George the Third, in perfect security, a man dare not, without the chance of disgrace and imprisonment, presume to speak of a deceased baron, however virtuous or profligate his life may have been!!! No anomaly in the constitution of a civilised country ever equalled the existence of the monstrous privileges of the two houses of parliament; for, as in this instance, a man may be deprived of his liberty for an offence not only wholly unknown to the laws of the land, but which we are quite sure not two lawyers in England are aware is any offence at all. The affair is so curious in itself that we shall extract all which occurs respecting it from the journals of the House of Lords, for the benefit of authors, editors, and publishers, without any further remark than to suggest, that, for the sake of common sense, and for the reputation of the peerage itself, to say nothing of the liberty of the subject, the House ought to appoint a committee to inspect its journals, with a view of rescinding such preposterous resolutions as the one in question.

Complaint being made to the House of so much of an advertisement inserted in the newspaper intituled, The Daily Journal, Monday, January 22, 1721-2, as gives notice, that the works of the late Right Honourable John Sheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire, in prose and verse, with his life (completed from a plan drawn up by his Grace) by Mr. Theobald, and a true copy of his last will and testament, will speedily be published, by E. Curll, over-against Catherinestreet, in the Strand ;'-Ordered, that the said E. Curll do attend this House to-morrow.

Tuesday, January 23, 1721.-The House being informed that E. Curll attended, according to order;' he was called in; and so much of an advertisement inserted in the newspaper intituled, The Daily Journal, Monday, January 22, 1721-2,' as gave notice, 'that the works of the late Right Honourable John Sheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire, in prose and verse, with his life (completed from a plan drawn by his Grace) by Mr. Theobald, and a true copy of his last will and testament, will speedily be published by the said Curll;' being showed to him, he owned, that he caused the same to be printed; that he had not the consent of the executors or trustees of the said late duke, for publishing his said life, works, or will;' and being further examined in relation to the printing the said advertisement, he was directed to withdraw. And being accordingly withdrawn, it is resolved and declared, by the lords spiritual and temporal in parliament assembled, that if, after the death of any lord of this House, any person presume to publish in print his works, life, or last will, without consent of his heirs, executors, administrators, or

trustees, the same is a breach of the privilege of this House.' being moved, that the same be entered upon the roll of standing orders of this House:' it is ordered, that, on Friday next, this House will take the said motion into consideration; and the lords to be summoned. Then it was agreed by the House, that the said Curll should be again called in, and reprimanded by the Lord Chancellor for causing the said advertisement to be printed, and forbidden to publish the book so advertised.' And the said Curll being again called in, and, on his knees, reprimanded by the Lord Chancellor accordingly, and forbidden to publish the said book, he was directed to withdraw: and being withdrawn, the House, according to order, proceeded to take into consideration the motion made the 23rd instant, for entering upon the roll of standing orders the resolution and declaration then made against publishing in print the works, life, or last will of any lord of this House. And the same being read by the clerk was, with some additions, agreed to by the House, as follows: Notice being taken, that the works, lives, and last wills of divers lords of this House have been frequently printed imperfectly, and published after their deaths, without the direction or consent of their heirs, executors, administrators, or trustees of such lords; it is therefore resolved and declared, by the lords spiritual and temporal in parliament assembled, that if, after the death of any lord of this House, any person presume to publish in print his works, or any part of them not published in his lifetime, or his life, or last will, without consent of his heirs, executors, administrators, or trustees, the same is a breach of the privilege of this House.' Ordered, that the said resolution and declaration be entered on the roll of the standing orders of this House, and printed and published, and affixed on the doors of this House, to the end all persons that may be therein concerned may the better take notice of the

same."

ELTHAM PALACE.-The conversation which took place on this venerable ruin, in the House of Lords, a few evenings since, does honour to the Marquess of Lansdowne, Lord Darnley, and Lord Goderich; and we perceived with considerable satisfaction that there are at least three peers in the country who will exert themselves to preserve remains which ought to be secure from that ruthless spirit which would destroy all that does not at first sight appear to be useful, not merely because they are a beautiful specimen of the architecture of the middle ages, but because it is so intimately associated with English history. It is not surprising that persons who are destitute of hereditary prejudices of an historical nature in their own families, or who are both ignorant and careless of the history of their country, should evince a culpable indifference to monuments of former times, and appear anxious to destroy every thing which is dear to those whose names are identified with the most important events in the annals of England. Against this feeling the Howards, Percys, Greys, Clintons, Talbots, and Nevilles, are bound to unite: they should consider the removal of the remains of such buildings as Eltham Palace little short of an insult to their families; and if the government will not preserve them, they ought to contribute from their own purses to their conservation.
