COU'RtENAY 'aid, ' that he bad always toted in favour of the Catholic claims; acrd believed their grant to be most important' to the of Ire land. But he itippiked the'lnOticin befoile the House, because he thotight the existence of . aSneety .- like - the 'Catholic Asiociativin one of the heaviest iffiktions with which any country -Could be visited. He' maintained ;that an Asiociation,'Acting as` this had done, and pos. sessing resouces 'which no inaividual could possess, 'as incompitible with the sprit .. of' the Constitution, 'and • might to be 'put doWn. He cOoleassure the House, that feeling as he did on the questiOn of Catho lic ')Emancipation, he gave his votes for this Bill with tegret ; but he felt that the tranquillity of the country ilbsoltitely required it. There was only one part' of the Bill upon Which he had any doubt, and the exist 'rote of which might have induced him to oppose it— )se meant that clause which gave authority to a single Magistrate to enforce the provisions of the Act; but un `this point he felt himself relieved by an intimation from -Ills Right Hon. Ft lend (Mr. Goulburn), thaeit was his intention to alter that clause, and to make it necessary that there should be more than one Magistrate present in certain proceedings under it--(Hear, hear.) Mr. SYKES expressed himself altogether hostile to 'the principle of the Bill, which he contended was in unnecessary'addition to the penal code of the country, Inasmuch as all the evils said to have resulted from the Association 'might be corrected by the existing laws. Sir J. NEWPORT Said, there were a few observa tions of the Iloaoarable Member for Exeter (Mr. Cour ting) to which he.felt himself bound to reply. body could give that Honourable Member _greater, credit than he (Sir J. Newport) did, for the liberality 01 his views upon the general questioo of Catholic ctpation ; upon the present occasion, however, he could' not help thinking he had drawn some erroneous con clusions. The Honourable Member opposed the Bill, because, as he contended, the existence of the Catholic Association had a tendency to generate counter Asso ciations ; but he (Sir J. Newport) would ask, was not the Catholic Association a consequence, and not a cause of other Associations? Did not Orange Associations precede the Catholic Association ? And although Go vernment had, in the year 1812, taken measures foe the suppression of those Associations, measures origi nated by the Right Honourable the President of the Boas d of Conti oul, and passed by that House sena voce ; sere they, he would ask, effectual ? Did not these Orange Associations continue -and flourish, until the Catholic Association started up in self-defence to coun teract them ?—(Hear). :The argument drawn from the maladministration of justieehad been strongly opposed, and it was contended by the advocates of this Bill that justice was not ill-administered in Ireland. Admitting, however, for argument's sake, the general fairness with which justice was administered in Ireland, it would not, he supposed, be contended, that in the present state of the law, the poor were not precluded front access to the superior Courts of Justice? Now, one great object of the institution of the Catholic Association was, to give access to those whose means could not otherwise afford it. The Right Honourable Baronet here read some extracts from the evidence given before the Com mittee of Inquiry, to prove the utility which had re sulted from the labours of the Association, and the ex ultation with which their exertions were hailed by-the lower orders. The Right Honourable Baronet con cluded by expressing his decided disapproval of the measure, the Vanity of which, he was happy however to perceive, had been considerably moderated, in consequence-of the exertions of his Honourable Friend the Member for Limerick. Mr. GOULBURN said, it had been asserted that this was partial legislation, and that the Government had made no attempt to put down Associations of a different description.. He denied the fact, and he ap pealed to the statute-book for proof, that the House had legislated to put down other societies. Did Honourable Members forget the Act passed in the year 1823, to put down Associations of a particular description, by which Orange Societies, though not mentioned by name, were particularly aimed at? The Honourable Baronet (Sir J. Newport) had said that there was one law for the rich and another for the poor of Ireland. If that meant to convey to the House, that there was in that country a denial of justice to the poor man, he begged to deny the fact; but if he meant only that great inconvenience was felt by a poor man in prosecuting a suit at law, it was no more than was felt in this country, and was in cidental to the condition of the poor in every State. With respect to Magistrates, he Would assert, and he defied contradiction, that there was no such thing as a disposition amongst them to take bribes fur the administration of justice to the poor— (Hear). It had been said that the giving the power to a single Magistrate to enforce this Act in particular instances was without precedent; but did Hon. Members recollect that the Convention Act gave power, net only to a single Magistrate, but even to a Peace Officer, to pre vent or stop a meeting held contrary to the clauses of that Act ? In the present Act,.uo such power was given, except to a Magistrate. Yet, even on this point he was ready to attend to the suggestions which had been thrown out, and to make the presence of more than one Magistrate necessary in certain cases ; and he as sured Hon. Members opposite, that from the first he was prepared to give his most patient attention toevery suggestion by Which the severity of this Act might be mitigated as much as possible, without destroying its Effect. He then proceeded to thew that the statement nutde by the Hon. Member for WitiChelsea, regarding the conduct of Baron McClelland on one of the recent trials in Ireland, was utterly without foundation. The Honourable and Learned Member had stated that the acquittal of the soldier was attributable to the interfer ence of the Learned Judge in preventing one of the wit nesses giving ananswer to the question,why he had omit ted to State at the Coronet's Inquest that which he was theti Stating to the Couto Since that statement had been inside, he had received one communication from the Learned Judge whose conduct was impeached by it, and another from two of the Counsel oriployed for the pro seeution. Now, on the authority ,of the Counsel, he could inform the House, that no such question had been proposed to the witness as was stated to have been °b- Jetted to ; and on the authority of the Learned Judge, he ' The • has heel% the tier of a tear acquittal from the bqintiing."—' ,(Hear, The IHnomerabk and Learned Gentleman had ilso made, !rm. what auikority he knew not, an 'they charge against the Learned Judge, Mr. BROUGHi:M.--4 made the charges:on the itt• thority of one ofebe Counsel engaged In the prosecution. Mr.. GOULBURK—The Honourable 'and Learned Gentleman hld Said that the Learned Ju.dge had not Only faborne to deter a trial, t h e na me o f w hich was not mentioned, till the Counsel engaged in it was sent for from another Court, but had also refused to read over to him the evidence of the uitnesses who had been examined previously to 'his coming snip it. The Right Honourable Gentleman here read a letter frohi the Learned . Baron, stating, that as the name of the case had not been mentioned, he could not meet the charge made against him with as positive a denial as he had done the former charge, but adding that he had no recollection of such a circumstance having occurred on the Circuit, and that he believed that no such circum- . stance had occurred, a s i t Wa s in direct contravention to the conduct which he had long been in the habit of pursuing towards the bar—(Hear, hear). After such a statement, lie did not suppose that' anybody would again impute to the Learned Baron the glaring and ttfrninal miscondUct which had been attributed to him .by the iihnourable and Learned Gentleman —(1 !ear, hear). Such language was scarcely defensible when used towards an individual convicted of crime, but was . . Quite univarraitahle when 'used towards an individual of the Learned Baron's high station and character— (lkar). He was sure those that knew him would agree with him when he stated, that no individual discharged his functions more impartially, or oftener interfered to prevent the recurrence of the violent party disputes which so frequently came before the tri buttpla of ireland—(~Cheers). Mr.DPIMAN said, that his Learned Friend and himself had received their information from an eminent - Counsel at theliish bar, and he protested against the doctrine, that because one man stood behind the bar and another sat upon the Bench, that a less weight should be 'attached to the assertion of the former than of the latter. The itmoui able Gentleman then de- precated the conduct of Government in trespassing against the Constitution of the country by the Bill then before the House, and regretted that his Honourable Friend, the Member for Limerick (Mr. T. Spring Rice) 'should be induced to move an amendment to any clause of such a Bill. He had, however, the consolation of knowing that the Bill would be totally unavailing. The language which the Lord Chancellor had put into the mouths of his colleagues was of a most extraordinary nature, and when his Friends at that side of the House called upon the Cabinet to pass Catholic Emancipation, the reply was that the Chancellor was a man of con science, and would resign if they presied the measure; and yet, strange to say, those Ministers kept their places without resigning, while their conscientious opinions were by him set at nought altogether. No man could have the presumption to say that that Bill could be necessary if Catholic Emancipation were conceded, add if Ministers could not concede it, they should resign, beating with them an untainted honour and a COMCIOUSIIM of rec titude, instead of the unworthy opinion which they must entertain of their own proceedings. Colonel FORD said, he knew Baron M , Clelland well, and in all questions of party be acted with the strictest impartiality. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said, be had attentively lis-1 tened to the arguments in support of the Bill, and yet be had not heard'one which- could for a moment in duce him to alter the opinion he had expressed on a former night. He hoped the Catholics would persevere, and send Petitions to the Throne, before Ministers could have time to present that Bill for the Royal approbation. Mr. LESLIE FOSTER contended that Ministers were infringing upon the Constitution, and must expect one day or other to meet with well-merited retribution. Mr. Secretary PEEL was anxious to set himself right in some points,wherein what he had stated on a former night was more or less directly concerned. In the first place, he entirely acquitted the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hutchinson) of any intention to intimidate him per sonally, on a former night; and when the Honourable Gentleman threatened to bring all the Members, almost, on his (Mr. Peel's) side of the House to the block, he (Mr. Peel) never supposed for a moment that he meant anything more than to speak of them in a general way, as in their capacity of Ministers---(4 laugh).— It was impossible that he (Mr. Peel) should disregard an appeal which had been made to him also, by the Honourable Member for Taunton, in these discussions; for he had the highest respect for that Honourable Gentleman, who had raised himself to high rank and influence solely by his own exertions, his talents, and his integrity. But the Honourable Member would pardon him for saying, that as in a very few days the Catholic Question must, in some shape or other, be' forced upon the attention of Parliament, he should de-. cline, for the present, being tempted into any discus sion on that measure, on the Army Estimates, or any other of the questions to which the Honourable Gen tleman's speech had related. Differing as he did from so many of hie Honourable Friends, on the ge iieral question, he had yet supported concessions to the English Catholics in the course of last Session, and all his subsequent experience had confirmed him in the (propriety of the step he had , then taken. With respect to a question put to him on a former evening by the Right lion. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Tierney), as to what he (Mr. Peel) must have felt on hearing a Right Hon. Friend describe Ireland to have been, in 1821, a wreck upon the breakers, he begged to say, that he could feel no such displeasure as the Right Hon. Member (Mr. Tierney) seemed to suppose; for what was the fact? It was prectsely in that year that he (Mr. Peel) accepted the office of Secretary of State. It *as true that he had been before Secretary for Ireland; but he had quitted office ever since 1816. It had been his wish, in that office, to have remained in Ireland another year, till 181 t. Perhaps he might be allowed to say; that when he quitted Ireland, she was in a state of perfect tranquillity : there was then no Catholic As sociation, no Catholic Board, nor anything of the kind. With regard to what had fallen on a former night from the Honourable and Learned MeMber for Wincheisea (Mr. BrOugham), he (Mr. Peel) now to repeat; as near as he could remember them, the very words he used in speaking of one of the mostyublic and notorious acts of the Catholic Association. He said that they had conimitted an act of injiseretton,_ at least, by thiir ad , -nr)., • • • • excite the. piarpspf all the riitestant. eorreMilwitY . lrerand.

The Honourable and Learned Gentle man, in answer so his ibir. Peel's) remarks, had - hid MI-Atc4an had beenlreard in his defendef—he never had 'been tried:— . -and that the Go.: . . vernmeut had not only pardoned, but placed himlmong the Magistracy of Ireland. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman might recollect the trial of Mr. JaCkson, When Mr. H. Rowan seas called on for MI defence. In the year 1794, was he not charged with the publication of a seditious libel? Was. he not convicted and sen tenced to two years' iinprisonment ? . In the, course of those proceedings, Mr. R. was atiainted of IlighTteason,, and lied to' France. - The prosecuiiOn in "1794 was for the publication of an Address from the United Irish men. At that time France was the enemy of this country. The Learned Judge who tried him made the follOwilgiddress:"lfhas appeared thatyou published I letter persuading the 'soldiers to take up 'arms. You called on the 'people to . artn, and, had they done so, i you would have introduced a system of anarchy. It is happy for you they did not obey. If they had, every- ratan concerned would have been guilty of high treason." Such a person might be a man of good private charac ter, but he would repeat, that the Roman Catlillic As sociation were indiscreet when they addr'essed the letter to him as a public man, and that the act was sufficient to alarm the Protestants of Ireland. He wished every gentleman in that House might read the account of Mt. H. Rowan's pardon, as given by himself, and pub lished in the Papers of the day. Government had been charged with cruelty, yet Mr. Rowan himself had given an account of their lenity. He stated to the Judge that since he had the honour to appear before• the tri bunal, his children had not only been protected, but in addition to that favour, he . had been indebted to the Government for his life. His gratitude was unb6unded, and he deelined his in tention to atone for his past Errors. After that kW.- sion, made by Mr. Rowan himself, could there be the least doubt respecting the liberality of the Governinent? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had then thought proper to say—You, the . King's Government, must have r known Mr.H. Rowan, was placed 'among the Magistracy of Ireland. It was asserted that Mr. Rowan -had been a Magistrate. That declaration was made with so Illikch boldness by the Hon. and Learned Member, that he really supposed Mr. Rowan had been in the Coin, 'mission of the Peace. He had heard so many state: ments involving doubt, that be was unwilling to remain without correct information on the subject. The Right Hon. Secretary accordingly ordered the necessary in quiry to be made, and this day he received the follow ing letter from the Hanaper Office, Dublin :+" Upon search made in the records of the Hanaper for twenty years past, I find Hamilton Rowan has not been in the Commission of the Peace for any county in Ireland for the last twenty yeas s."—("Phis informations was followed by loud cheering). 4fter silence had been restored, Mr. Secretary Peel concluded by observing, " I now appeal to the House whether I have not dashed from the Honourable and ixarned Gentleman's hand the poisoned cbalice?—(Hear, hear).— (The Right Hon. Secretary sat down amidst loud cheering). Mr. BROUGHAM said, Oat he could not recollect the exact words used by the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but he perfectly recollected that the impression was very different from the mild and subdued statement now given by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He thought he recollected that the Right Hon. Gentleman used the words " Attainted Traitor"— (Hear).—He ap pealed to the impartial part of the House; to those who sat with no party, whether these were words that could be said with impunity ? whether they ought to have been uttered to wound the feelings of any man? He might ask the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, whether it was right to let a gallant officer, Captain Hamilton, hear in the face of Parliament that his father was an attainted traitor ?—( Hear ).—He should pass osier the details of H. Rowan's case, but was still resolved to defend that Gentleman and the Catholic Association. He would defend them again and again, and repeat that no alteration had been made in the harshness of .the charge against Mr. Rowan. It was admitted that he was not heard; yet he was implicated 'in the trial of Mr. Jackson, and on that account. might have made a defence. It was then said he was tried for li bel and found guilty. On that account it was indi•creet in the Association to address him. It was indiscreet to communicate with a man found guilty in the worst of times of publishing a libel ; and they had committed another indiscr,etion, in giving. their Peti tion to an Honourable Baronet, who had been found guilty of publishing a libel, and who had also been shut up in a state-prison upon the banks of the river which washed the walls of thit House—(Hear, hear). Bur what had Mr..H. Rowan done? If he told the peo ple to drive away their enemies, sword in hand, and defend their civil rights, he had done no more than the Volunteers of England, and the Mem bers of that House. The times in which Mr. H. Rowan had taken a part ungracious in the eyes of GO- , cerement were troubled times. It was difficult fur public men to 'escape censure. The much-venerated And lamented Mr. Grattan owed his safety in those times to his absence from Dublin. With respect to the letter sent to Mr. Rowan, it did not appear that Mr. O'Gorman, who wrote it, was a Member of the Assn elation, but he was no doubt authorized to send ir. But Mr. Rowan was pardoned: and because the King smiled and gave pardon, were they to be told that the Royal mercy was matter for sarcasm ? That the man so pardoned by his Sovereign, was to be branded as an attainted traitor ? He had certainly stated that Gentle man was in the Commission of the Peace. He was informed so by a person from the sister country. He had since asked more particularly respecting tne fact, and the person said he had seen Mr. Rowan's -name signed to an address of undersigned persons, _being i Sqeer‘ivryrP.4r.Brouglaatttitere'rettra letter from the Doke speaking :of Mr. Rowan, said, oearf the 14'4 0411 4 4alacianf nay 4dinktistnation in Ireland was, t 0 recwolne.n/I tlp CrOivn to ,p;edcn. 11„,,R0wa0.; No public act Of Mine was more satisfa c tory, bec a u s e a ' mart . respeitable man time Mr: Ifaiitilton Rowan did not exist hi kraland."

He had it from Counsel who was einploYed on the fie deplored, the lutetium then before: the House as one of the greatest evils that could, affect Ireland, and he c.,lled on the House to pause before the mischie was complete. ,The zr.ea , ure was not impartial.

His last hope was, that the House would n,otshut the gates of mercy on Ireland. On Tuesday they would have the op pOrtunfty to retrace their steps, and give the people of Ireland Emancipation. .. .

He read in a former debate the words " attainted traitor," Yrom the -report of a Secret Committee.

Yesterday, a•Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock Was held, pursuant to adjoui riment, at the Company's House, in Leadenhall-street, for the purpose of resuming the consideration of the Hydera- bad Papers, touching certain money transactions be tween the house of Palmer and Co. ,)f Hyderabad, and his Highness the Nizam, and any connection the late Governor-General, the Marquis of Hastings, might have had therewith. The Minutes of the last Court having been read, . TheCniaailan (W. Await, Esq.) ,hen stated the businesi which the Court had assembled to consider. Sir J. DOYLE immediately rose, and" resumed his ad dress. 'He ritelarett that he did riot appear . there as the . priiatesensrpfiseial friend of the Alarquii of Has tings, but as a Proprietor of East India Stock, only anxious that justice should be done to all p - ait:e. B e . fore he proceeded, he wished the lion. Chairin'in to inform l.im whether the amendment.propo,ed by. him was his own individual act, or whether he brought it forward as the organ of the Coat t of Directors ? The CHAIRMAN answered, that the amendment was his own individual act, but'he felt himself justified in saying, that if time had been given, it would have been the act of the A counter proposition had been made, 'and from the appearance of the .nuMbers o n that occa sion, he had no doubt, if time bad, served, that tie Court of Directors would have adopted the amendment. Sir J. DOYLE continued.—He argued at very consi derable length in support of the legality and propriety of the Atoungabad arrangement, and of the 60 Lac Loan, and by a reference to the documents, supported the position, that the House of Palmer and Co. did not shrink from examination ; that when called upon, they readily furnished their accounts; and, finally, that the Marquis of Hastings was not, as had been represented, guilty of favouritism. Mr. PonztrEa having been allotted to by Sir J. Doyle, rose, and denied that he ever had amei ted that the Marquis of Hastings had solicited the house of Palmer and Co. for the admission of Sir William Rumbeld into the firm. 'At the seine time, he contended, that the letter of Sir William Rumbold to the Marquis of. Has tings on the subject of the house; and the answer of the Noble Marquis to that letter, proved decidedly the connection of the Noble Marquit with that house. . Mr. StuAnT, formerly a MeMber of the Bengal. Go vernment, repelled the assertion that he had manifested • a systematic, persevering, and factious opposition to the 'Government of the'Marquis of Hastings. *Sir .I..Dortat denied that he had used any jsuch expression. . Mr. STUART proceeded. He was not conscious of any feeling of personal hostility towards the Noble Marquis. Any differences that had ever occurred 'be tween him and the Noble Marquis were entirely foOnded on public greuads. The Ron. Proprietonthen tools a brief view of the. Aurung.abad arrangement and the 60 Lac Loan , and pointed out the necessity which exiited at the ti me for a full investigation of the cir vumstances attending those transactions. This be ad vised, and he did so the more particularly, in come quence of the situation in which an individual (Sir-W.. Rumbold), whose name had beers frequently mentioned in the course of this debate, was placed. If individuals departed from the ordinary routine of tran saction, as authorized by Government, they must mike np their minds to undergo investigation and innyiry. Mr. Waimea, in a speech of considerable length, supported the amendment. Sir C. Foams spoke strongly in favour of the original motion. Mr. &MULL 111031 supported the original motion; after which the Court adjourned to Monday Riot LAW RIJ'ORT. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 25. TYRRELL V. WAKLEY. • Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case: it was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a surgeon in St. Thomas's Hospital, against the defendant, who is Pro prietor and Editor of a ce: tain medical work, called T he Lancet, for a wilful and malicious libel in that pub lication,' reflecting on the character of the plaintiff. Ther number In which the libel appeared was daied 20th of November, 1821.. The plaintiff was a Gen tleman who might be well known to milnY of the Jury : ke was the son of the City Bensembrancer, and a Lecturer in St. Thomas's Hospital. He fe:t it die to his honour and character to bring this action, in order to protect himself from the mischief wis ing, or likely to arise, from the very gross li bel which the defendant had ruOished against him.
