He still was bade W time Mk and abesid Owe, as an Amendment, that it be reed** day di months. ;I''' ' ' The Amendment baying bens pet, Mr. Secretary PEEL said. hit Right Hoe. .Feisork (Mr. Plunkett i seemed to think that-there.-was some inconsistency between the opinions he expressed in 1817 and those be delivered on Friday last. There was, would contend, none. • In 1817 he had argued that the Bill of 1795 gave no substantial power to the Catholics, though he admitted, that wha t they then obtained was properly given; for, as Mr. Burke had said, there *as a vast differenee between the exercise of the elective franchise, and the admission to office. To this point alone had his observations in 1817 extended. He was ready to admit to his Right Honourable Friend, that there did exist great abuses in the present mode of exercising the elective franchise in Ireland—in the mode of creating fictitious freeholds, and swearing to freeholds which did not exist ; and he was pre pared to consider any measure for the purpose of apply mg a remedy to the evil. But, in looking to the measure proposed, he doubted whether it would have any such effect, or rather he was convinced, that as a remedy, it would be most injudiciously and unjustly applied. He concurred in what had been said by the Honourable and Learntd Gentleman (Mr. Brougham), that it would be Most precipitate .to make such a change without having full information on so important a subject, and under any circumstauces he would have great hesi tation in supporting any measure which would make a change in the elective franchise as it now stood. On this principle he bad opposed all the motions for Reform which were submitted in that House. — Let the House consider what would be the effect of this measure. He held hi his hand returns of the numbers of freeholds which had been registered in Ireland for ,years back. The contents of the returns would afford a sufficient illusttaticn of his argument. It appeared, that since the year 1818 the number of 40s. freeholds registeted in the county of Tyrone was 13,000, and the number of freeholds of 201. and upwards registered there within the same time, was only 273. Now, he thought it was a hard thing to say, that this immense number should be deprived of the elective franchise without any investigation. His Hon. Ft iend (Mr. Littleton) had said that he would not raise the qualification from 40s. to 51. because it would increase the evil. Was not that in itself an ar gunient for inquiry ? It was contended that the object of the Bill was to assimilate the practice in Ireland to that in Eoglaild. The Bill could do no such thing. It went only to oblige the freely , ltler to swear to 101. in stead of 40s. but if so much abuse already existed by persons sweating to 40s. freeholds which they did nit possess, what security did this 1141 afford against par ties swearing to a higher amount? What guarantee did it affo d against perjury in the one case more than the other ?--(Hear, hear). It was said that the voter would be obliged to take the oath mentioned in the sche dule of the Bill ; but on looking at the schedule, Ile found not a single word was said about any such oath. Let the Hon. Member look at his own Bill, and he would find that it had no such oath. But even if it lad, it could afford no greater security than was afforded by the law as it now s ood. He would now examine bow far the measure would affect the Protes tant interest in Ireland. Mr. O'Connell stated in his evidence, that this Bill would have the effect of lessen• in the power of the Aristucracy, and of increasing the influence of the Roman Catholics. DA this shew that the Protestant interest would he benefitted by it ? In looking at the rt turns to which be had alluded, he found the greatest number of 411 s. reehol ders(the extent uf which had been ascribed as a cause of the great discontent and disturbances in many parts of that county)) was in the Noith. In Kilkenny there were tegistered, since.l79s, 3760 40s. fife:midst and they sent two Catholic Mem. bets to Parliament--(A laugh).—By Catholic Members, he meant Members who supported the Catholic Ques..l lion. In the county Fermanagh, he found the number of 40s. freeholds registered in the same period to be 26,900, and that county seat two Members to Parlia ment who invariably voted against the Catholics. Now, - when he compared those facts, be should have some -thing stronger than the arguments he had that night heard, to make him believe that 40-.-freeholders were a cause of distress or di sturbance,or that the disfranchising them would be au advantage to the Protestant interest. In the County of Waterford, in which existed, for a time, thazreatest diAress and dissatisfaction, the num ber of forty shilling freeholders registered since 1793 'was 7,000. . In the County of Antrim, which consisted for the greater part of Protestants, the- number registered in the same period of time was twenty-nine thousand five hundt ed. He put it to the House, that if these were Catholics, and consented to return Pi otestant Members, or Members opposing the Catholic Question, there could be no danger to the Protestant establish • ment in allowing them to retain the elective franchise; but if they were Protestants, he would ask what boon was held tut to them for the privilege of which they were thus deprived ?-(Chess) In the eight Countit s of Ulster, the most flourishing part of Ireland, he was informed, for be had not the returns before him, that the number of forty shilling freeholds registered within the last eight years was 190,000, while in 14 Counties in the South of Ireland, where so much distress and disturbance had existed, the number did not exceed 168,000. Were not these grave subjects for considera tion, before the House proceeded any farther with a measure witch was to disfranchise so great a portion of the people of Ireland ? He would now beg the House to consider what the effects of this measure would be . The" argument of his Honourals!e Friend, the Member for Louth, appeared to him to carry considerable weight with it. Whes they were introducing a great political innovation, they ought cot to argue from the state of things existing at present,bt i tgns the state of things 2 hich wo uld exist when t go had taken - Now he would ask whether there would not be the same noxious effects produced by the fide-sim ple tenure as by the forty shilling tenure ? Was there anything in the present Bill to prevent a man from erecting a number of houses, and from conveying them in fee-simple to the freeholders? Was there any thing to prevent him from saying to them, " I will gine you a house on a certain tenure, but I will at tach to it a quantity of land or of bog, which you shall hold on an uncertain tenure, so that whenever anelection comes, I may have a hold upon you for your vote?" He bad looked at the Bill with considerable ac tion, and be must confess,. that after all his pains, he • could not Toad in it any security ---,This Bin. is against such a practice. . ought to be recollected, was contingent upon the pamng of the great Bill which was to eman cipate the Catholics ; It was only to take effect under * • • ...,,•.03,64.4 _S• '.. :z, • .. vt' • • • 1 • • • . . the new aragestances which were to arise in tense (pence of the paninig of that Bill, when there was to , be an oblivion of all discord in Ireland, and when all his Majesty's subjects were to be knitted together in peace and amity. He was 'Gni/Ming to deprive the Inver classes of Ireland of a privilege which, when it was first granted to them , Mr. Bu rke described as of, inestimable value; and above all, he was reluctant to begin his career as a Parliamentary Reformer, by dis• franchising, almost without examination, a portion of the electors of that kingdom. Under these circumstances, he should oppose the Bill. Sir H. PARNELL was convinced that no further inquiry was necessary, as there was sufficient 'evidence before the House to establish the evil which this Bile was intended.to care. He complained that in no County had there been a greater manufacture of votes than in that which he had the honour to represent. This 1319 was far from having etched any dissatisfaction ;wire land. There had been several Public Meetings in that country, since nctice of it had been given. There had been anAggregate Meeting of the Catholics in Dublin; there - had been a Public Meeting in the CountyCarlow, in the County of Waterford, and in the County which he bad the honour to represent; and at none of them bad a single band been held up against this measure. Mr. BItOWNLOW complimented the Hon. Member . for Staffordshire for his public spirit in bringing for ward this measure. He believed it would have the effect of disfranchising a great many of the 40s. freeholders of Ire land, and be would say so much the better, for it was the class to which he objected, and not the individuals. He gave his warm support to the Bill. Mr. C. HU ITHINSON asked what prevented the great landholders on both sides of the House from corgi recting the evil of the system themselves, instead of coming to Parliament and asking it to disfranchise the great body of the Irish people ? He would oppose this at the risk of losing that measure which his family and him self had uniformly supported. He would rather lose the Billobas secure it by such disgraceful means. Mr. GOULBURN said, he was prepared to rut the, whole case upon the argument of his ltig!.t Hon.Fi Lend (Mr. Peel). As an auxiliary measure for the Catholic ,Bill he would not consent to accept this measure ; for what accommodation did it offer? It merely gave to those who thought as he did, a remote security against an immediate danger—(Hear, hear). He bcg4ed rot to be considered as generally approving s of the 40s. freeholders, on their present footing in Irelartd, or as considering that it ought not to be remed;ed ; but what he contended for was this—that they ought first to consider the extent of the evil, and next the tfticacy 0f the remedy—(Hear). With respect to the first, they had as yet done nothing ; and on the subject of these 406. 1 hfreeholdess, and their single connection with the exist ing state of things, there had been a discrepanty of opinion in the Committee up stairs, and General Burke—(here he referred to the unreported evidence of the Committee)—had in his examination distinctly denied (at least so far as his opinion went) that the 40s. freeholder , : were the cause of the Imputed evil. Here the Right lion. Gentleman referred to the evidence of General Burke and Colonel Curry, to chew the importance attached by the 40s. free. holders to their elective franchise, as qualifying them to make "a Parliament man." lie therefore entreated the House not to inter.. fere with that sense of popular power, without due consideration, arising out of a previous inquiry, the necessity of which.was appa rent from the conflicting opinions given by several of the Hon. Members who had preceded him in the debate. lie hoped the House would pause for further information *before they proceeded with such a measure of popular disqualification as this—(Hear). Lord MILTON doubted whether the evils of the 40s. system would be cured by this measure, though he admitted the smallness of the qualification was a great evil. If there was any thing which recommended It, it was, that it was a blow aimed at that Oligarchy of which he wks himelf a component member, and which he con si dered we of the gre s atest curses of Ireland. He thought the Oligarchy too powerful there, and he wished to throw the power into the hands of a middle class, if a middle class could be found. He should for the present give this Bill his support; but trusted the House would keep this Bra within its power till they saw the fate of another measure in another place. Mr. GRATTAN thought this Bill so contrary to the Act of Union, and to Constitutional principles, that be could not bring himself to give his vote for it. There were a few instances of abuse he adtiritted, but were the House fur that to proceed to legislate fur 32 counties, and disfranchise a whole class of people? Ile could not vote for it in justice so the people of 'reran I, and to the people of this country ; for why, be would ask, might not this measure serve as au example for this country at some future period? Sir F. BURDE'rI' could not consent to separate this Bill from that for Catholic Emancipation, and therefore• should give it all his support. if the details were not exactly suited 110 the taste of all the parties, their correction was the business of tlia Committee. The. Hon. Baronet proceeded to notice the stared) the 40s. freeholders in Ireland, as described by Mr. Wakefield, and observed that be had never even heard of any one who had not declared the system one of the greatest evils el that country. For one, be conceived they obtained a great 1 boos in gelding this Bill as a compromise for Catholic Emancipa., times Moo the Catholics were content to take their freedom thus restricted, the opporturiity for conciliating them ought not to be lost. He understood that Ireland never was so tranquil as at this Inn. meat, and that the circumstance was wholly attributable to the present which late events held out—(llear,hear)--to the prospect of haying the wrongs of the people redressed in consequence of the inquiries now making before the Committees of both Houses. I Under all these circumstances he coultt not feel boldly in rejecting the opportunity of relieving 6,000,000 of people hem a state of oppression, ip which they were justly dissatisfied; nor could he honestly persist in acting with Gentlemen who were prepared to' wave the opportunity of bringing about such great praitical 'benefits, because of the uncertain and vague conceptions of political excellence which . they entertained with regard to other measures —(Cheers). He complimented the Honourable Member fur Armagh on the part which he had taken, and which would secure the gratitude of his country to him to t he latest - period of time.— The importance attached to the question of elective franchise must be fallacious if the comparison which had been made by the Gentle men of Ireland, beta een the 40s. freeholder and the Weat Indian Negro to the advantage of the latter, were in any way correct. Ile did not, owevr, tke upon himself to say that it rms. But those free h holds e bad a been continually repre sented as one of the greatest evils of the country. Be that as it might, they bad obtained a boon if they could exchange it for general emancipation, which would settle the country in peace. Ile rejoiced in the conciliatory effects which had been pro duced between the people of the two religions by the examinations before the Committee, which had conduced to destroy mutual prejudices and enmity. He concluded by an earnest entreaty to all friends of emancipation to sink their differences upon the ques tion before the House, for the sake of succeeding in that object. Mr. DENMAN thought the measure before the House natu rally connected with the great question of Catholic Emancipation. The question of.tbe Elective Franchise was not peculiar to Ireland, but must equally affect this country ; and upon this same principle 'should be so extended—( Loud calls for the question.) Mr. LAMBTON, even at the risk of separation from his Hon. Friend (Sir Francis Burdett), should vote against the Bill. He had no confidence whatever in the source front whence it proceeded : he did not mean his Hon. Friend the Member foe Staffordshire, ithorn, consistently with his own political principles, he should follow on any subject ; but be knew it came from another source. Mr. I.ITTLETON rose to make but one observation, which was, to assure the Honourable Member for Durham (Mr. Lamb . ton) , that be laboured under a mistake with respect to the origin of she Bill. In bringing it forward he was a perfect volunteer; and although he had consulted with those who were best qualifie to supply him with correct information, the measure was wholly and entirely his own. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the Second Reading 233 • I Against it .. 183 .Majority It was ordered to be committed on Friday-next.
