Extract from "Annual Register" 1827 p.143.
Brougham are Six Acts

"Mr Hume, who had not joined in the
migration of his brethren to the ministerial
benches, brought forward (31st May) a motion
for the repeal of this State" (the Sex Acts),
"which, with all the others, had received
the strenuous support of Mr Canning, & had
been resisted and condemned by the opposition
as a tyrannical and unwarrantable
attack against the liberty of the press,
and as a new attempt to crush the public
execration of him and of his compeers. Mr Hume
said, that he had intended to have made the same
motion during the preceding session; but he
now congratulated himself upon the delay, as the charges
which had in the interim taken place in the
government, must have made it a fortunate delay
for the question he now advocated. But Mr Hume
greatly deceived himself. Mr Tierney, Mr Abercrombie,
Sir James Mackintosh, and Mr Brougham, were absent
on the occasion: Lord Hilton declared it to be a matter
of so little moment, that he was not sure whether
he would remain in the House to the division;
Sir James Sear left and Sir Robert Wilson manfully
joined Mr Canning in resisting the motion,
and abusing and ridiculing their astonished mate,
the member for Aberdeen."
