On no day of the session, which lasted, with several adjournments, from the 25th of January to the 24th of March, was he absent from his place, excepting on occasions when he was away from St. Mary's, engaged on important public service; and in all the proceedings he was found prompt, earnest, and decided, and watchful of the rights and interests of the people. . The first occasion on which he is found express- ing an opinion, is on the third clay of the session, when the question was mooted, w...hether freemen, who had given proxies to others to act for them in the Assembly, were entitled to exemption from arrest, under privilege of parliament, during the continuance of the session. Cornwaleys main- tained, that, by delegating their power to vote, they deprived themselves of the right to exemp- tion from arrest, thus aiming to abridge the extent of official privilege; but the majority of the mem- bers took a different view of the subject, and decided that all who had a right to attend, even though they constituted others their representa- tives, were entitled to privilege of parliament, not only during the session, but for as long a time before and after, as would suffice for their travel to their respective homes.
