Was not that high treason? The word assassination was afterwards withdrawn, and that of assault substituted. lied he been on the Grand Jury, he was persuaded that he should , have thrown out the Bill ; and, having read the evidence keen before the Petty Jury. he was no less fully per "nailed that had be been on his oath as a member of that Petty Jury,he could Mat have found the accused guilty of Caristring before they went to the Th e a tre to assault the Lor Lieutenant ; although, tutdonbtettly, there was a riot. The throwing of the bottle, be sincerely believed, was the act of a drunken individual. That it was aimed at the Iced of the Lord Lieutenant was negatived by evidence. — The fragment oftherattle was thrown by a young shoemaker , of Ili years of age; sad in his opinion it would have been . more magnanimous in Government to pees such an art over, -,gather than to prosecute it as all atrocious offence. His next objection was the mode in which the rejection of the bill by the Grand Jury had been received by the Citurt. He could net admit the right of Judges to comment on the conduct of Juries, great or small. He would not allele to the times of S.tferies or of Whitshed (the latter of whom sent a c..se nine times hick to a J cry); but as a Member of the House bf Commons he wzs entitled to say thkt any Judge, however tettpettable and exalted, forgot his duty when he reproved a Grand Jury, us in the case in question. When the Right Dion. and I.earned Gentleman became acquainted with tee way in 'which the Grand Jury had been impannelled. lie ought to have taken the earliest opportunity of vindicating ' justice in so Important a point, instead of prosecuting half a dozen journeyman carpenters; and not to hate allowed the matter to sleep, until lie found it convenient to introduce it into his defence. The Iligh Sheriff would he hardly dealt with if, after Whit had passed, his conduct should not be Tully investigated. Ire denied that this was a party ques tion. It was one of much more general importance. When be heard of the censure to which the Grand Jury of Dublin had subjected themselves, by throwing out the Bill, he awed tent forget that no censure followed a similar act on the Grand Jury oflwitraster, when they threw out bills preferred before them against the tutors in that sanguinary transac tion et Manchester, in which hundreds of people, peaceably evsembled, had been cut and trampled to death. For his part, however, lee should prefer the decision of' the worst ';rand Jetty to that of the best Attorney-General. A Grand Jury might be impartial; and an Attorney-General must, ex neerssiiate. he a party man. If such abuses existeli as were stated, it was not for the Courts below, but it was fee the llonse of Commons to sinew the people of Ireland that they were neatly to afford then the parental proteetion which was their due. Mr. BAXKES condemned the conduct of the Attorney- General for Ireland, but he did not think that there could be conveniently instituted an inquiry at the Bar of that House. l a ird MILTON said, the leech of the Hon.

His (Lord Milton's) object, hotreer, was not so inuch to remarle upon the speech et the Hon. Member, as to notice the observations of the Right lion, and Learned At orney•lieneral.

"F , ( . 0004 )► 1 I) thunglot that question eyes net at 11116 laid ilie one 110.1 Y before the House. lie should support the motion for in quiry ; because if the charges against the Sheriff were well founded, there would be too touch reason to dunk tint the attention of the House was dtmanded to ti:e gr tieral state of the admioistratioa of justice in !reload.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWNLOW commenced by saying that he hopeilthat the unanimous sentiments of that House would be to inquire into time conduct of the Sheriff of Dubin, and if guilty as he (Mr. Broutmlow) really believed he was innoceut, that he might draw down upon his head the I cousure of that Douse; and that House might eradicate root and branch the whole of that bad system out of which have grown such monstrous abuses. The Right Hon. Gentleman toldthe House in plain langaage that the Sheriff of Dublin conspired to stop the stream of justice, or wished to turn it aside to his own base paltry party purposes. Such a charge having bees made, the House owed it to justice and to the interests of trebled not to stop short. If such enormous abuses—such terns hi. grievances were found to exist, it was time that they should be removed. Time Attorney-General informed the. House, that he was obliged to have recourse to a harsh and injurious exercise 01 prerogative, in cuusequence of the conduct ofthe Sheriff, who conspired. to prey** tho votl* jtutian being attained. The Right livnasinehte, Gintletuan said in his Place, that the Jury were packed, Now be (Ir.

This was a mere matter of fact. If it were s. ovation of !me, or even a question of prudence, he would not disport with the Attorney Gr neral, but it was a situp fact oat which the HOilee would determine fur themselves, ftwas stated by the Atturuey- Mineral, that °nisi, the thettesers Seta *beet cousin of the Sheriff.

The High Sherif% informed him (Mr. B) that three weeks before. the Jury was impainellel, Mr. Pool waited on Vie Sheriff and begged to be put on the GraMi Jury; the Sheriff said he would submit his name to his ctX 'envie, Sheriff Guenter. In the mean time a letter was addlessed to the Sheritts by the Crown Solicitors, by the order of the Attorney-Getteral, requesting that both the Sheriffs should join in making met the panel. Mr. Pm/1 renewed his applicatimin to be" put on the Grand Jury, when the Sheriffs informed hits that they bad received the letter above stated t. that they felt the 'necessity of being extremely eautiossa--411'1 that Mr. Pool had distills ' lilledffiimsell by the applications he had made. He still requested to be put ottime Jsicv •, upon which Mr. She riff Thorpe asked wharMaion'he had for pressing the applieation? "I'll tell yen," said Mr. Paul; " the case of-a Mr. O'Mara is to tome before the Wand Jury. I am acquainted with facts connected with Oo nt's.. which 'OP not known to the rest of the Jery. I wish 'to be en tketitartil Jury that jitoliee may be dente to Mr. O'Mara. burgh.) Put we is the Joey, and I'll eve yea any word not to divide on the Oration of the Playboase ltlpts'' The Sheriff replied, that nothing (after such a sireldeatian) weed , imluee him to pat Mr. Pool on the Jury. With respect to the cambia of the Grand Jury, there.was ho coffee it eletion respecting them, but he was enttnariaed• to say, that every thing the Attorney- 1 tie Wail bard said with 'reSpeet to them was incorrect end unfuuuderf. The Atturney-lieeeral had been mis. led and misinformed by' some caloutaiator. The At- , tmapy-tieneral bad said that a witness . pf the name of Moran timid been produced before the Wand Jury, and that but tyre questions had been put to bins when be was shown to the door ; the Jury audio Heed him (31r. Dzownlow) to.. state, that the witnes wait asked a greater number of questions in the Grand Jury room than he was a.ke d on the trial.-- Sew, he would state to the House the nature of the evi• dance, as far as rumour went, given 9a the other side. It was said, that the Attorney General had received in formed-sin, that a person, who had been seated:in the pit on the night of the riot at the Dublin Theatre, could give material information relative to the throwing of the mur derous bottle, of which so much had been said, and which, by the bye, was stated to have fallen in the mid dle of the orchestra; that bottle (if thrown) might, for aught which appeared lode contrary, have been directed as much against Lord Couthermere as against the Lord Lieutenant. Well, the man who so offered Isis evidence, said, on his examination, that on the night in question lie had seen a person in the pit drinking a bottle of porter (not spirits), and after drinking the contents of the hot- 1 tle, he chucked it (to use the words of the witness) over I the stage lights. " Very well," said the Attorney-Ge neral, and the williess was immediately shown to the door.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He might go on mut- 1 tiplying similar statements, 'foe the purpose of showing hue many falsities were tittered upon the one side as well as time other ; but the ins'ance which lie had adduced was sufficient to sitew how little belief was to be attached to such statements on either side. Perhaps it would sur prise the House to hear that a person now dead had made affidavit to a person now living, and who could he pro duced, that Graham was not the man who threw the bot tle, fur that he hiffiself had thrown it, and that on his death-bed he felt it necessary to declare that he had dune so.—(llear, hear.)—The Honourable Member, in con clusion, alluded to the oppressive effect which an et officio information inuat necessarily have upon the in terests of Mr. Thorpe, who, though aognitted, must still bear the expense as well as the disgrace of such a pro ceeding Mr. GOULBURN was of opinion, that if there were any circumstances connected with the late transactions in Ireland which respired investigation, the inquiry ought to take place in the manner proposed by the Hon. Member far Corte Castle (Mr. thatikes). and out to time ' way in which the Hon. Burt. opposite (Sir F. Burdett) wAmal it to take place. After the proceedings which lMonk place in that House on a former nig;mt, tic coeilluct lof his Right Honorarable an I Learned Friend was 110 longer a matter quesiion. All that was required on the pact of his Right Honourable and Learned Friend was, to skew that there had existed sufficient grounds, to justify him in suirpectiug the motives of the Sheriff Nutt the (rand Jury, and that the attorney-General had done meet satisfactorily. tie (qr.

The statements made at the bar woo& he doted out to the Irish public Joy by day; the citleeedings would be soutlnuad from week to week ' • and, finally, the House would arrive at no result which could satisfy the mindi of auv class of urn. For the reasons he had stated, he shook vote against the motion of the llonourabll Hart. Colonel BARRY contended that the conduct of the At terney-Genmal for Ireland was involved in this question, sad that the House was bound to enter into an inquiry re speeihig It. The accused parties were new in London ; they prayed for. so inquiry, and were ready to meet any charges that ari ‘ lit be brought against these: Would the House then, he asked, deny thews the justice which they stalled tar? Re (Colunel Barry.) bad asked the Right Ron. Gentleman if he intended to take any ulterior proceedings against the parties in question, and the answer was that he would take no proceedings, unless ordered to do so by the Houle.— (Loyd cries of hear.) Mr. PLUNKETT now rose and attemptedto ppeillt;. bat was interrupted by a loud cry of "Order.

The . Rises, he coroidered. had , made an unworthy comprouaroe din calm conneeteidaith this question on a late nigh , . .Hiihopsd they tioi44,,sot fall into the saute mistake cie flits ommaion. Mr. SPRING RICE observed, that the present ques tion was out about any set of ostnterpille the 4,19Ve T i1. . :nein of Ireland ; but whether th ere existed atty npwer in the Gnat." Jury or Sheriff of Ouldin to intercept cilt lore- vert the administration of justice. (bear, hear.) Leat session, he (Mr. Spriag Rice) happened by chance to havo been placed in the Omar of a committee upon the local interests of Dublin, to which petitions respecting that city were referred. On that occasion it appeared that the taxation of Dublin was; principally managed through the agency of the Grand Jury, and in the report' to which that committee agreed, having also the concur rence of the members for Dublin, it was expressly stated that the election of the Grand Jury appeared to be always made from the corporation ; while those who oere not members of that body, whatever other retaliticatiobs of fortune or education they might possess, were excluded from serving as Grand Jurors. The same thing was as serted in a memorial which waft laid before tug late Lori Lieutenant. in Isl 9, and the saute inference was drawn, namely, that this sort of limitation was.obviously velem lated to defeat the ends of justice. The Honest would de sert their duty to the country if, from stilt Circumstances of personal insionveuience, they should brisk from this inquiry. The Hon. Gentleman, of er stating that when lie %Val last io DeWitt he met with au individual who was totally unconnected with politics, hut was one of the wit nesses summoned before the tirandJury upon the occasion in question, and who assured hint (Mr. Rice) that haring said he had much to tell them, they stopped hint short, awl turned him out of the room, concluded by warmly, expressiig his approbation of the motion of the Honour able Bart. all. PEEL said it was agreed upon all bands that ie. ( piny was necessary, even in justice to the High Sheriff himself, and in determining on the mode in which it should be conducted, he would implore the House to throw away all party feeling, and adhere to the practice which wa s founded in equity and good sense. General principles recommended that this case should be sent to a Court of Law, and the facts alluded to by the Hon. Member for Limerick, could never be come at by an in vestigation at the bar, the Honourable Baronet's motion being only for an inquiry into the conduct of the High Sheriff, not including that of the Grand Jury. But sup pose the subject of the Grand Jury was to be brought forward, bow would the House proceed ? Was it by ex amining such witnesses as the Hon. Member for Limerick had alluded to? Was that the way to put the Grand Jury on their defence ? They were bound by oath not to disclose their proceedings. Nothing short of an Act of Parliament could dispense with that oath. 'flee Honour:title Baronet had expressed his regret that the House should ahem any thing like an unwillingness to inquire, especially as they had refused in the coarse of the Last Session to investigate the political circumstances of that country ; but the House was not the tribunal before whom a case of this nature could be tried with advantage. The Honourable Member for Yorkshire had said that it was not the conduct of one Sheriff bat of all the Sheriffs of Ireland that they were to inspect, while the Honourable Member for Limerick described it as an isolated case. If so, that was the very reason why it should be sent to a Court of Justice. In a' Court they would have the advantage of the s Tema obli gation of an oath, which could not he administered as their oath. It rasa mistake to say that the Courts Were, only capable of deciding in civil eases, for nu public fuse - ! tionary, however high, was above their jurisdiction. He remembered one case in which the House of Connnons thought proper to adopt ass enquiry, and they must all of them recollect that it was found necessary to postpone it front time to time, in order to wait for evidence. But suppose they were to direct a prosecution, would they ap portion the punishment ? His Hight Honourable Friend (Mr. Plunkett) had addressed a letter to the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, stating . , that in the exercise of his own discretion he might feel it expedient to file informations ec-qtficio against the Sheriff. It was not, however, coin petent to hint to decide on that question until the motion of the Honourable Member for Armagh was decided. That being nor done, his Right Honourable Friend had dictated himself ready to tile the informations. If they cause to a decision that the High Sheriff should take his Vidal, they were bound to semi hint to it without ex; citing any prejudice to his disadvantage by a previous de cision in ParliameuL ' • Mr. TIERNEY said, if he re.:141 consider it merely a question whether the Sheriff should be tried by a Jury, or come before the Honer, he might be disposed -to vote for vial elsewhere; .bat he saw the question ow a more exten.led seale.- 7 1t was a question watcher all. .14 jet' loaners of complaint were to be turned from Parliament and sent back again to Ireland.
