after evidence was heattl by the Wand Jury, they ig nored it ; suppose that the witnesses had stated to the Attorney-General by affidavit or otherwise, that the (}rand Jury sat with their legs across, and pet their Moods in their ears to shut out the evidence; and, sup pose that the netnre of the evidence was such as mani kisly, anal beyond all question, to make it imperative its them to find a true hill,—suppose, under such circling. stances, that the bill was ignored, was not that a ease io which the Attorney-General would be warranted in iuterferleg? The Honoureble Gentleman 'Jived that, id his proceeding e 3 . this occasion, be was actuated by a zeal fur the preservation of t the Cpus!itu:ion and the liberties of the subject. ut should the conduct of the Attorney-General in this affair be condemned, the Honourable flentleman would obtain this resnit for the Constitution, that no Attorney-General would ever again have recourse to a Grand Jury, but always use tue yrecess of information. He felt that lie was tres passing upon the attention of the House too long.—(Loud ("teas.) But he assured tltem Wit if himself alone %sere concerned, he woald 0./e have trauhled them •at such length, but !VI ry . body who knew him, knew that there were inter.Ms growing out, of th's question infi nitely more dere to Lim than any which concerned Wito self. He would then refer those Hon. Gentlemen who contended that the Attnrney-Generalvas not legally au thorized to file ex-officio informations, to the 31 and 4th Barrow's Reports, in which it was laid down by Lord Mansfield, that such an authority dial exist in the Attorney-Genera!, aril that it was unnecessary far him to apply to the Court of Kinx's Bench to grant one, be cause the authority existing in the Atturney-C.meral himself, it elm unnecessary to call upon the Court to, sign an informatitio which he might sign himself wied farther, that if it was net a proper casejor the Attorney-' General, to file an information, neith . was it a proper one fur the Court. Thus it was clearly established that the AttorneysGenei al bad a right to exercise the same discretion as the Court of King's Bench in filing infornixtinns, and he hoped that he even bad satisfied the Hon. tient. upon this pant. Upon the 1 of More, which bad been alluded to by the Hon. lieut., he wished to offer one or two observation*. This was a case which could not have been found but from the merest accident, becanse, from peculiar cirentnidances, it came under the c lan's:ince of Parliament, and it sh sld be recolrectrd Vial this Was a proceeding, not by inforioa tinn, but by inili-tment. The circumstauees ware 'hese : The hills --ere sent up to the Brand Jury, and 'Wendt :g to ignore the:n, they, by mistake. returned true Bills. Th. Grand Jury applied to rectify the Gilding, but the Court fi e fused the application, mares it was made on sffidayil. -af:dasit was matte, ani the indictment glistshei ; but that Atti,...ey.General sai4 Il r lead ennther authority to resort to, an :74...d an ex-officio intne.nation. However, it so well rteerved that the sohj-0 was before the Irish parliament, and such loud complaints made against Sit Constantine Phipps, that Parliament petitiuded for his re moval: and though the part:cuter attautiou of tse House was called to Me question at the time, yet no contp2vitit vas made assinst Constantine for filling an ex-officio infor- In3lloll. The complaint against hint was, for interferina with the Jery while pro:redines were pending. That far lie thought it necessary to advert to this wise, to show that it was cant exactly in point for the H .n. GentlentaVa pur pose. Now he would proceed to Mate the fac:s. noel the evidence produced to sustain these facts, as well as the ;mends which induced lain to file the kr•Officie informa tion. If he could show the finding was in opposition to the, • facts, and that gross injustice was the enneequence, he bad no doubt that the Howse would ngrae alt: talus io thu ;aro priety of the course he land adopted. In the papers for which the Hon. Member hart moved with the view of- as the motives of the Irish Government, and Which land been tail on the table to-Jay, was the indichisent and the evidence which went before the 43rand Jury to . sustain it, and he would take it upon himself to say, that any rational elan looking et the evidence of We thirteen personA,. he did not ,elude the two Agitations, mud two others who were subsequgutli A:mined. who tw- their testimony before that Jury. w,?;:,d come to the cuneusion that there was no part of the indictment, whe ther for the conspiracy, the riot, or ti e assault, wit* was not so fully and demons' rangray proved ageinst all as well as earliest Ilundwich anal Graham. He a ould state to the House the impreseles upon the Jury which induced them to some to such a conclusion, and of which he was as mortally certain as If he had been one of the Jury. While it was found that the Lord Lieutenant was prepared to act on his Majesty's last admonition to the people of Ireland by an equsl administration of the laws, and by putting down the dominant party which kept up a system of the most embittered feelings and hearthurnings ; that party whom he had called a gang, thought they were warranted in showing It proof of treir disapprobation, and had therefore a right to make a riot ; bat he did not believe sat any of then; had a right to make an attack upon the Lard lieutenant. This, he believed, was the opinion which induced them to COMP to the conclusion of finding " no bills," but upon the legality of which the Learned Judge upon the trial removed all doubt. The Right lion. Gen tleman here read an extract from the Judge's charge, showing that no persons had a right to confederate to make a riot at a theatre even against an actor. However, the Jury, he believed, were of a different Opinion,and thought they had a right to confederate to express their opinions against Ito Lord Ideutenalat. Now if such was the fact,and that there was a party so filled with prejudices as to believe that they were justified in acting against the very elements of justice, for the purpose of rendering the Government of the Lord Lieutenant ineffective, and showing there was a power superior to it, lie had no other course left but that which lie had pursued.—(Cheers.) And though censure should he thrown upon Irian for his c induct, under such circumstances, he should still ever feel proud of the honest integrity which dictated it.--(Hear, hear.) Ile bad been charged with want of judgment in committing for a capital charge en., afterwards abandoning it ; but he maintained that a change of opinion which circumstatees justified, only confirmed the judgment that had been exeiesed, by leaving ea opportunity for such a change. Now it appeared that three or four Orangemen had taken advantage of the Lord Lieutenant's visits at the theatre to show thdlr disapprobs. lion pf his Government. lie did not use the term "Orange men" in any offensive sense. With some in lieiduals of mat body he was on the most friendly terms, but as a body he deprecated them, as an Association la violation both of the !astute and the Common Law, and above all because they were bound togethee by a principle of exclusive religion.— , While such ti body existed it was impossible that Ireland could ever be in any other state than gnat of war, because the existence of one party necessarily created another In uponsition.—(llear, hear.) And instead of the whole cons enmity uniting to support the law, gel were arrayed io hos tility saainet it. It could 104 he said that he bad acted im partially, it was his duty to notice every violation of the law. and as public prosecutor, he bale been called upon to bring the Catholic as well as the.

Hy ouch conduct the Protestants endauered their own safety. Their garrison was in the law, but if they sallied beyond it and challenge-1 others to a violation of it, they would endanger their own safety, but that of the conntry.—(Loud cheers) That he would descend from his diameter, an'l become the instruuieut of party ' purittoe Casa chargefrom which aids character was nut sulfa lent to shield Lim, lie would make 110 defence.— /tut to return to what he was before stiting ; that a few Orangemen had determined to insult the Lord Lieute nant at the theatre, for the purpose of compelling him either to leave theki nadoin. tar change the principle of his Government. Now, it was difficult to conceive what rea sonable ground they could have or anch opposition, be raise the Lord Lieutenant had not appointed one Catholic t, s situation since he because Chief tiovernor of Ireland. The Right Hon.
