The Wise. unfit was hb prineikal witness in supver :rhk; convict-. •n ; fhlt . the credit due to her testimony has been so' materially affected by facts .ince didelosed, that I thought it my duty to name a distant day fhr the execritibrrof the- sentence; in order to affofd ecne for the resketable Gentlemen, who have interfere) on behalf of the Prisoner, to bring his case fairly and satisfactorily under the consideration of hit Majesty's Government - . 44 But, although those two convictions involved • gross violations of the laws, yet what was there of political disturbance, or of factious contrivances. in either case ? I could not see any thing of the kind. " Next, the Commission proceeded to Waterford, which was represented to us as being in a most dis ;urbed state. But in no one part of the county did it appear that there was that frequency of crime.l from which any systematic hostility to the Coital toted Authorities could be inferred. " There was one conviction for an abominable conspiracy to poison ; but the actuating motive ap peared to be, not of e public nature, but mere indi. futerest. It was the case of a miscreant from the county of Cork,•hired and sent for the particular purpose of getting rid of an aged man, whose life .was the surviving. -life in an old lease, and which lease the vile contriver was Materially interested in extinguishing. This , was the real history this crime. Another convict i o n was for the murder of Mr, Smyth. in the month of October last. 1 most ob. serve, that this Gentleman was a Roman Catholic. What the cause ol this murder may have been, is at present only matter of private mulnise• But no per has even whispered, that it proceeded from poi!. tical or party feelings of any kind. There was a third capital conviction at Water ford—it was that of, two two, for burglary in a dwelling•honse. This was the only transaction that was, in its nature, of a public description. It ap peated in evidence,. that a body of armed men planned and executed an attack upon the house, but the ably discoverable motive was, that " the owner had besstptevioosly an inhabitant of the county of .Cork; and had veutured to take the farm. in ques tion." - Here, indeed, we see those public outrages .proceeding to a degree mischievous in the extreme,' and deeply to be lamented. • • " Those unfortunatelemtches.will imagine, Lurie a stranger to the county has the audacity to interfere between them sad their landlord, they are ..110 violate the law*, assemble in arms, and make - an example of the intruder, who shall settle in this ' country. These are terrible delusions, pregnant with .violence, bloodshed, and anarchy. The peasantry ,cannot too soon reject and abhor them, as ruiuous and absurd. • . . " Gentlemen, Zeintit allude- to your county: hope the-, system. at- setting lands by anctiondikof squeezing from she vitals of - tbe tenantry more titan the actual value of the prodtice of the land, does • not exist in this county. I hope and. believe no .se systcrn prevails one—because like causes produce' like effects ; and, in that case, the calendar now be.. fore ewe atould.bave -exhibited a-very different picture. At present: its contents amount to one charge' of murder, one of rape, and one against a woman for the supposed murder of a bastard child. These are. mimes of a high and serious nature,yet of ordinary occarrence in every county. But I can descry no - trace of say system et general dissatisfactiok-aref • political Mischief I. therefore, am utterly at siege : to secesint for dhow alarming assertions cireelatted htiougbout the empire by those advertisementsk life - 'Wexford Journals of March and April last, imptist-i ism to be Resolutions, deelaiing the county tobt in' a state of disturbencw—Wast, on the contrary side, we have the advertimments of respectable Magi strates, affirminf that there was no colour for those alarming assertions, and- that the loamy was in a state of profound tranittillity. This subject affords matter of serious reflect/ma indeed. • of 44 Gentlemen, these facts, peculiar to your county, have induced me to-travel at length into this subject, iu order to guard you against being affected by simi, lar alarms, originating in other counties. I hope, . that by Tour steady conduct in your own county, you prevent the ninligners of this country from as serting soy whet?, that the ALMIGHTY has poured aA e hill phials of his wrath upon this land, so favour - ell by nature with her richest . gifts ; or that he has Cursed it. by . implanting in it a race of nun of so :vicious and depraved a nature az is not elsewhere to be found. _ _ " Gentlemen, I say it is incumbent upon you to vindicate she stele of ycnir county—you bare ample materials for so doing—you know the roots of those evils which - distract the country—they sae to be found en these crass, which I have now stated. w Buts Gentleme4 is deem no , nitthod of atißy. in those discontents of the pro* and preventing, them from flying in the fate of the laws ? Is there no remedy but Act of Parliament after Act of Par.: Vainest, as quick succession, framed for coercing and punishing ? Is there ao corrective, but the rope And the gibbet ? " Yes, Gentlemen tL! removal of those causes of .disturbance which I have mentioned to you, will ope rate as the remedy. I should imagine, that the per manent absentees ought to see the policy (if nobetter motive can influence them) of appropriating, liberally, some past of those splendid revenues which they draw from this country—which pay no Land Tax or' Poor's rate—and of which not a shilling is expended in this country Is it not high time - for those per manent absentees to offer some assistance, originating from themselves, out of their own private parses, to wards improving and ameliorating the condition of the lower orders of the peasantry upon their great domains and rendering their lives more comfortable? indeed, I believe that some of them do not sat up their lands to auction. I know that the Earl Fits williarn, in one county (Wicklow), and the Marquis of Hertford, in another (Antrim), act upon ettlstets oned and liberal principles;far although their generally are only leases foram life and twenty-one years, the tenant in possessiost wellissows, that upon a reasonable advance (meroliroportionoti to the general 'rise oUthe tintesY be*Wilt get Mr farm with out rack rent or extortiel... iihtt, I say; that the per manent abtentees,ought to _know,. that it is th.eir4n terest to contribute enathingtn.their . power, and within the sphere of ilieletxtettSive infTnence, towards the ItfiprOvement of S eglifittt; from Whente they-de rive such ample reventWandlsolid , benetits.

And, indeed, such an extravagant excess have those intolerant Opinions of the state of Ireland attained, that I shall not be surprised to hear of sonic political projector coming forward, and renovating the obsolete ignorance and the prejudices of a Harrington, who; in his Oceana, calls the people of Ireland an 'untameable race ; de. daring, that they ought to be exterminated, and the country colonized by Jews,.; that thus the state ot this island would be bettered, and the commerce of England extended and improved. ‘‘ Gentlemen, 1 will tell yoU 'what those absentees, ought particularly to dti—they ought to promote the' establiehment.of hotiseibf refuge, houses Of industry ! school houses; and set the example upon their own estates, of building decent cottages, so that the Iriih peasant may have, at least, the i.omforts of an " English sow ;" for.. an English Littler' would re• fuie to eat the flibh:OT •a hog, so lodged andled as ati Irish peasant is.

You should begin the ne cessary reformation. You now enjoy comforts and tranquillity, after lessens of storms, and fever, and disturbance. The comparative blessings of this con trast should make you anxious to keep your country tranquil. If your farms fail out of lease, set them not up to be let by public auction—encourage your tenantry Co build comfortable dwellings for them selves—give them a property in their farms, and an interest in the peace of the country. These are the remedies for the discontents of the peoele—they will be found much better than the cord and the gibbet. —There may be other causes of discontent in other counties. ' Those I have mentioned may not apply to your county. If they did apply, I would not shrink.from exposing them--I would not now, when advanced in lite, acid uninfluenced by any hopes or fears ; for, whilst I was young I wasequally careless of the smiles and frowns of men in power. 44 . Gentlemen—l had in opportunity of urging sonic of these topics upon the attention of a distitt• guished persanage—l mean Lord Redesdale, who tilted the high of ce of I.9rd Chancellor here some years ago. I was then at'the Bar. His Lordship did me the bmsonr of at after I had returned from Circuit, at a tin?a adm many, alarms of one kind or another floated lit this country'. He was 'pleased to require my apinicia of the state of the country : I averred; that I thought it• was as tranquil as ever it had been; but I did ask his permissiOn to suggest certain mcasures,wbich, in my opinion, would allay the discontents of the people. One of these measures was a reform of the Magistracy in Ireland ; another was, a commutation of tythes, if it could be. satisfactorily effected ; a third was, the suppression of the home consumption of whiskey. and the insti tution of a wholesome malt liquor in its stead. I re quested his Lordship to recollect, that Hogarth's , print of " Gin Miceli an unerring witness to testi fy what the English people would now be, if they hadnothing but a pernicious spirituous liquor to drink. A man who drinks to excess of a malt liquor becomes only stupified, and he sleeps it off; but he whose in toxication arises from spirits (which we know are too often adulterated by the most poisonous in gredients) adds only fever to his strength. Thus the unfortunate peasant of Ireland is maddened, instead of being invigorated; mid he starts out into acts of riot and disturbance, like a furious wild beast let loose upon the community'. • took the freedom to add..."

Com:flat:its have been too frequently been made out. ( iu other counties) upon slight and trivial grounds, without reflecting upon the evil consequences of wresting a peasant, probably innocent, from the bosom of his family— immuring him for weeks or months in a loathsome , amongst vicious companions. He is afterwards acquitted, or not prosecuted; and returns a lost man, in health and morals, to his ruined and beggared fa mily. This isa hideous, but common picture. . iraol a Again : fines and forfeited recognizances are . multiplied, through the misconduct of a Magistrate. He binds over a prosecutor, under a heavyrecogniz. *nee, to attend at a distant Assines, where It is pro bable that the man's poverty tir private necessities Must prevent his attending. The. man makes de fault—his recogniiance is forfeited—he is committed to the county gaol upon &green wax process—and, after long confinement, he is finally discharged at the Assizes, pursuant to the statute; and from an intim.. trious cotter, he is degraded from thenceforth into a beggar and a vagrant. is Other Magistrates presume to make out vague committals, without specifying the day of the .of fence charged, the place, or any other particular, from which the unfortunate prisoner could have no sier to prepare his defence. This suppression is highly aidecoroits, U n f ee li ng, and unjust;,and it deserves, ~ upon every occasion, a severe reprobation of the Ma gistrate, whO thus deprives his fellow-subject of his rightful opportunity of defence. . . . 4' There are parts of Ireland, where, from the, ab sence of the Gentlemen of the county, a race of ga gibuites heti sprung up, who ought never to have borne the King':: commission. , The vast powers en• trusted to these officers call for an upright, zealous, land conscientious discharge of their duty. " Gentlemen—As to Tythes, tbey are generally complained of as a great grievance. In the times in which we live, they are a tax upon industry, upon enterprize, and upon agricultural skill. Is a man in telligent and industrious—does he by agriculture re claim a track of land, and make it productive of corn? he is visited and harassed by the Tythe Procter; does his neighbour, through want of inclination or ofskill, keep his farm in pasture, and unimproved ? he is exo nerated from the burthen of Tythes, and from the I visitations of any Clergy not belonging to his own church. Far be it from me to say, that Tythes are not due to the Clergy. By the laW of the laud, thee have as good a title to their Tythes as any of yon: have to yr , itr Estates; and I am convinced that the Clergyman does not in any instance exact what he is strictly entitled 'to. But this iaode of assessment has been much complained of; and it is particularly felt in this country, because the Catholic receives no spiritual comfoit . from his Protestant Rector. He knows him only through the Tythe Proctor; and he has, moreover, his own Pastor to pay. This is the reason why he thinks it a grievance; and I must ad mit, that although the Clergyman does not receive all that he is entitled to, and although it may not be a grievance in another country. yet the tythe sygena is a painful system for Ireland. is Gentlemen—You have in your power anothek remedy for public commotions—l allude to the asseea ment of the presentment money upon your county.— It seems that the sum of 49000 is now demanded to be levied : whether this sum is, or is not, an exorbi tant one, for this county, I know not. It is a tax of which you will impose the greater part, or, perhaps the whole, upon your county—and it falls wholly . upon the occupying tenants or farmers; pray,keep this circumstance constantly in your minds—the be nefit of this tax is your own. By its operation you have your farms well divided and improved—good roads made round your estates—useful bridges and walls erected : indeed, I hive known counties which have been parcelled out to' undertakers by baronies, and where no man could get a job without the con sent of the baronial undertaker—they met and corn muted—and it was thus agreed—ii I give. yob your job here, and you give me my job There." I may he asked why do I mention those things? The Grand hay know them very well—but then they ought to bt concealed. • a Miserable, infatuated notion . I These things are not conceeled : there is not a Grand Jury job in the country ;which is not known and commented upon by the peasantry. Every 'mischief and every enor mity I have this day stated, is as thoroughly well known to the peasantry as .to theaentry throughout Ireland. The affected apprehension of exciting and exasperating them, by a reprobation of those enor mities, is puerile and contemptible. It cannot do mischief—it cannot add to the poignancy of their feelings—it may allay or soothe them—already those exactions are the sobject of discussion, and of mi. nute scrutiny, in every cabin ; what are the conse quences ?' Dreadftil heart-burnings and deep murH murs—the visit of the constable who collects the' cess, is a day of general mourning, and distress, and tribulation. I spoke freely of those things to the Grand Jury of the county of Tipperary—what was the beneficial result ? The Foreman (Mr. Bagwell) came forward soon afterwards from the Grand Jury room, and stated publicly in Court. that, in conse quence of my charge, he and his fellow Jurors had thrown out applications for presentments to the amount of £9600. These may be presumed to be jobs, under pretence of building walls and bridges, filling hollows, lowering hills, Ste.

" Gentlemen, if you ask meheW this may be at. complished ? I answer, by a vigilaiii . etiperinteit donee of the administration of justice in..qoarter Sessions, and an anxious observance of the iiiaduct of.all Jus. tices of Peace. .. a Perhaps, the Commission of the, peace, in every county in the kingdom, should be examined. During a long.war, in seasons of popular, commotion, under Chief. Governors (all acting, unquestineably, with good intentions, but upon various principles, and dif ferent views), it is not improbable, that many men - have crept into the Commission, who, however useful ibey might occasionally" have been, ought not to re. main. The needynaventurer t the hunter for pre ferment, the iitemlierate . zealot, the trader in false loyalty, the jobbers of absentee, ;if any of these various doscriptiont. of individuals arc now to be found, 4wir names should be exannged from the Commis sion; and if such a mode of proceeding 6hould thin the Commission, vacancies might be supplied, by soliciting every Gentleman of property and censider ,uion to discharge some part of that debt of duty which he owes to himself and the country, by accept. ing the office of Justice of Peace. . " Should their number be. inadequate to supply the deficiency, clergymes• long resident on their benefices, more inclined to follow the precepts of their Divred Masten, by feeding the hungry and cinthitig the naked Catholic (although adhering to the communion of his fathers, he should conscientiuusly decline to receive frem him spiritual censoletien), -oat - harassing and Apt vexing him by a new mode ot tything, and an in. crease of tythes ; but seeking to compensate the di.. sentient from his communion for the income he de. rives horn their labour, by sliewittg a regard for their temporal welfare—attached to their Protestant flocks by a mutual imerchitoge of good offices, by a eon, and by habit. Such a man, anxiously std: ring, not to distract and divide, but to cuticilie nd re. concile all sects and p lain, would, from educe. • lion, his leisure, his loc il knowledge, be a splendid acquisition to the magistracy, and a public blessing to the district commeted to his care. Men .f this .• • a eac epti ee are retired and unobtrusive; butt, I trust, If sought after, many' such may be found. Persons ; t - eere haie been of a sort differing widely tram those • I have described. These men identity their prefer. meat with the welfare of the Church; and it you had believed theni, whatever advanced the one necessarily F promoted the other. Some Clergymen there may have • been, who, in a period of distraction. peruse g the. Old Testament with more attention then the New, and admiring the glories of Joshua (the son of Nun),; fancied they perceived in the Catholics the C.ansiailites of old ; and, at the head of militia and armed yeo manry, wished to co:iquer from them the promised glebe. Such men, I hope, arc not now to be found in that most respectable order; and it they am, I need scarcely add, they should no longer remain in the Commission. . . . " Gentlemen, I must further admanisls o ypu, if your am infested - with any of the Orange or 4teeu"sli.ssoci. ations in, this county, to discharge them—iliscliarge all the precessions and commemorations connected with, them.-and you will promote ;he ia•ace and ee l s. cord of.the country ; but sac er them to prevail, and licisit can justice be administered ?•-;i" I am a loyal man;' says a witness—that is, Gentlemen of th e Pettyy Jury, believe me. let me swear What I wt11."—... 'When he iwears he is a loyal man, lie means, a Gen. alemen.nf the Jury, terget your oaths and act air the .Orangeman."

But what says the loyal man of another des. cription—the mere pretender to loyalty I ,‘ I am a loyal man in times of tranquillity —.I am attached to the present order of things. as far as I can get any good by it—l malign every man or a different opi. nion from those whom I serve—l bring my loyalty to market," Such loyalty has borne higher or lower prices, according to the different periods. of modern times—he exposes it to sale in open ntark.a at all times —seeking continually for a purchaser.—Such are the pretenders to loyalty, many of whom I have seen; and incalculable miachiets they perpetrate. It is not their interest that their country should be peaceful-- their loyalty is a " sea of troubled waters."
