Pitt intended to bring in Ihe Imperial Loan on a separate motion ; as in that case it would undergo a more ample discussion , to which it was undoubtedly entitled .- because if that House should consent to guarantee the Loan , it would enable the Emperor to make it on the best terms ; for if the Emperor should prove our friend and ally , . it would prevent him from being cheated . Mr . Pitt answered , that at first he thought to couple it with the Budget ; but
on consideration he conceived that it would be more acceptable to ground it on a separate motion , which could be done by bringing down a message from the King on the subject . The Attorney-General said , as he saw the attendance was thin , he should only move for leave to bring in a Bill for the continuation of the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act .. Mr . Sheridan hailed the thiii attendance as a good omen ; it was a proof that gentlemen did not expect the Attorney-General would bring forward new
any plots that day . The Attorney-General said , lie had no new ones to bring forward . Mr . Francis lameiife . d the long and rigorous imprisonment of the persons lately acquitted on charges of high treasoift Mr . Amlrulher insisted they were not punished . Mr . Francis replied : he hoped in God the time would come when some of themselves would know whether such a confinement was or was not punishment . Afier which the House divided , and the motion being carded , adjourned .
