Morn. Chron. July 7. 1820.
Extracts from divers speeches in Queen's debate
Mr. Bennet.— "Such was the situation of this desolate and
"unprotected woman, and who, on the other hand, who opposed
"to her? In one word it was the King of this country—
"The Master, not, thank God, of our lives and properties; but
"exercising a direct and positive influence over the merry House
"in which she was to be tried, by the power of conserving titles,
"ribbons and orders. [order! order!]
Lord Castlereagh: rose to call the Honourable Member to
"order. It was highly unparliamentary to allude to the Jove—
"reign in the manner in which the Honourable Gentleman
"had done, or to suppose that he could exercise any improper
" influence over either of the Houses of Parliament.
"The Speaker said, that he had never felt himself placed
"in a more difficult situation than upon the occasion
"of the present discussion. It was highly disorderly to
"impute to the Crown any direct interference with either
"House or Parliament. At the same time it was so easy to
"trade the strict rules of the House, by putting a case hypothetically,
"that much must be left to the discretion of Honourable
"Members, and he doubled not, that if, in the course
"of the present discussion, the name of the Sovereign were alluded
"to, Honourable Members would feel the necessity of imposing
"up on themselves more caution and restraint than upon
"any other occasion.
"Mr. Bennet disclaimed any intention of alluding to the
"Sovereign in any unparliamentary manner; but when the
"power and influence of Ministers were raised against a
"forlorn and desolate woman, he was justified in contending
"that the public to stand by her; and though the higher classes
"of Society might abstain from paying the respect which
"was due to her exacted rank, their neglect was compensated
"by the reception which she met with from the people, who,
"indignant at Secret Committees and Green Bags, and the
"conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, thought there were odds

"the opposite scale. The nation was scandalized at seeing the
"names of the Royal Family brought into public discussion:
"they saw the way in which her Majesty was treated, and they

"had been living in the vigour of his faculties these proceedings
"would never have taken place. He knew from authority which
