[Second edition.] BY ANDREW BECKET, Esq. 1 Substance OF THE SPEECH OF MR. SERJEANT ONSLOW, ON WEDNESDAY THE 27th OF APRIL, 1814, On moving for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Statute 5th Eliz. Chap. 4th. intituled "An Act containing divers Orders for Artificers, Labourers, Servants of Husbandry and Apprentices." No. VIII. Pam. VOL. IV. X A SPEECH, &c. Mr. Speaker, The Act, which I rise to move for leave to amend, has experienced a most singular fate-from a very early period, after it was passed, down to the present time, the policy of it has been condemned, both by those whose task it was to enforce its enactments; and by every enlightened writer who has treated on the subject. The moral feelings of mankind have been so opposed to it, that it has been extremely difficult to carry it into execution; juries have ever shown the greatest reluctance to find verdicts in favor of the prosecutors, and the decisions of the courts evidently prove the disapprobation of the judges, as to the principle of the Act. It was early determined, that a person who had served an apprenticeship of seven years to one trade might legally work at any other, a determination which was too violent an infringement of the plain words of the Act to be sustained, and was accordingly soon abandoned. I only mention this decision, Sir, to show how strongly the judges felt the impolicy of the statute. But the decisions that remain are most extraordinary; it has been determined, that the occupation of a gardener was not affected by the statute as not requiring skill, yet it has been decided that a fruiterer, nay even a pippin-monger, was subject to the restriction.
