The Secretary at War(General Fitzpatrick) observed, that he had last session given notice of a motion respecting the military justice of this kingdom. As this was, in his estimation, a matter of the highest importance, he had always been anxious to have it brought forward as soon as possible. But peculiar circumstances had prevented him from pressing it at the commencement of the present session, as he once intended to have done. At a later period, an event had occurred which rendered it necessary for him to postpone it still farther. Since that event, other circumstances had occurred, which induced him to abstain altogether for the present from urging his proposed motion; for the alteration which had taken place with respect to those by whom the affairs of the army were to be managed, and in his majesty's government in general, afforded well-grounded hopes that the defects of which he complained would be remedied by the executive power. With these sentiments, he thought it would be quite unnecessary for him to make these defects at present the subject of parliamentary investigation. Amendment was undoubtedly requisite in the points to which he intended to have directed the attention, of the house; but, for the reasons above stated, he would beg leave to wave his motion.
