LORD CAMPBELLsaid, he was happy to find that their Lordships had just received an intimation that the House of Commons had agreed to the Bill for more effectually preventing the sale of obscene books and prints, with certain Amendments; and he should move on Monday that their Lordships do agree to those Amendments, lie thought the tendency of those Amendments was to guard against any abuse that might arise from the power which this Bill conferred. It was required, for instance, that there should be evidence given of some sale or exhibition for sale of such obscene books or prints before the warrant was granted, and there was an appeal given to the Quarter Sessions against the decision of the magistrates, with the view of ascertaining whether the books or articles were of the description stated in the warrant. He did not believe those Amendments were necessary, but as they were in entire conformity with the spirit of the Bill he should advise their Lordships to agree to them. There was another Amendment—namely, that this Bill should not extend to Scotland. With respect to that Amendment, the Lord Advocate had informed him that the Bill was wholly unnecessary in that part of the kingdom, for by the common law of Scotland they had powers more stringent for putting down nuisances of the kind in question than it was proposed to confer by this Bill, and those powers, he was informed, were exercised. He might be permitted to say that, perhaps the existence of those powers had contributed to the greater morality which was allowed to exist in the northern part of the kingdom.
