TRIALS, LAW CASES, &c. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MILLER V. SALOMONS. Admission of Jews to Parliament. THE question of the admission of the Jews to Parliament has for some years formed a very prominent subject of discussion in the Legislature. The repeal of the penal and disabling statutes, and especially of the Corporation and Test Acts, had long removed the disabilities attached to the various classes of Protestant dissenters; and the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, which placed the Roman Catholics on a footing of perfect equality (save one or two excepted offices) with the rest of their Christian fellow-citizens, left the Jewish members of the community the only subjects of Her Majesty inhabiting these kingdoms under any civil disqualification arising from their religious opinions; and their admissibility to seats in the Legislature has been warmly advocated by many eminent statesmen as the complement of those great measures of civil and religious liberty commenced with the Revolution of 1688, and has been as warmly opposed by others on countervailing reasons. The question of the Jewish Disabilities, under the form of the Oath of Abjuration, was a principal subject of debate in the session of 1851. (See ANNUAL VOL. XCIV. REGISTER, HISTORY, p. 162.) Although the measure then introduced was adopted by the House of Commons, it was rejected by the Lords; but notwithstanding that decision, Mr. Salomons, a member of the Jewish communion, and recently elected for Greenwich, presented himself at the table of the House of Commons to be sworn, and took the prescribed oaths, omitting from the oath of abjuration the words "on the true faith of a Christian ;" and although the House adopted a resolution that he could not sit in the House "until he had taken the oath of abjuration in the form required by law," he did sit, speak, and vote on more than one occasion. It was the opinion of many, that Mr. Salomons in taking the oath with the omission of these words, had done all that was required by law; and it was to have a decision by the proper legal authorities upon this point that the present action was brought. It assumed the form of an action for the penalty of 500l., imposed by 1st George I. sess. 2, chap. 13, and 6th George III. chap. 53, on any member who should vote without having taken the oath of abjuration contained in the latter statute. The case was most elaborately argued before the Court of Exchequer by Mr. Serjeant Channell for the plaintiff, and by Sir Fitzroy Kelly for the defendant, the Chief Baron (Sir Frederick Pollock), and Barous Parke, Alderson, and BB |
