The subjeolo which his Motion would refer, was the detention of the Writ forthe Eleetion of Poolefot three weeks alter it had been • issued. Hi could not. say 'whether the delay hap pened before or after the 'Sheriff bad received the Writ. The SPEAKER informed the Hon. Member, for his convenience, that, according to the practice of the House, when any complaint of this nature was preferred, the course was to order the Messenger' the Great Seal, or any other person against whom, misbehaviour, or imputed misbehaviour, was charg ed, to the Bar, befofe any proceeding was had upott the subjea in the House. A Committee was appointed, on the Motion of Mr. DENT, to take into consideration ,the State of . the Comtnercial Interests of the West India Islands. The Reversion Grant Prevention Bill was read a third time, ;Ind passed. The SECRETARY at WAR obtained leave to bring in a Bill for regulating the manner of paying the Half-pay Officers in his Majesty's service. - The Bill, he observed,. was the same as one which had been in its'prOgress through the House in the last Session. IRISH INSURRECTION BILL. Sir AR7HUR IVELLE - SLEY, in pursuance of his notice, rose to move for leave to bring in. a Bill for the suppression of insurre6tion in Ireland, and to 'ptevent the disturbance of the ,peace in that country. The House would remember: that the circumstances, which preceded and attended the sup pression of the late rebellion in Ireland, had render ed stronger 'measures than the established JawS'lf ferded, necessary in . that 'country. Au Ad was; therefore passed by the Irish Parliament, , in , .the year 1796,. to prevent unlawlid audio aitthorise the Lord Lieutenant, on a ItepOrt:Pf. xh Magistrates, to proclaim any county : where distur bane:es existed. That law required all persons. ,in such countries to keep withlh their dwellings be tween. the honrS of sun setting and sun rising, 'end ; gave to the Magistrates the power of sendingpersons' who should be found to offend against it ont board his -Maiesty's Navy. The -461 had proved effedual for the suppression of the . insurredion, as appeared' from the-acknowledgment .of the leaders of that in surrection, -before a Committee of the Irish Parlia meat. But, though such a law' may he necessary, ' it was the duty of that house to guard against the abuserif , the'powers which it gave. The Bill he proposed Au bring in contained the same prov i s i ons as. the Insutre6tion Act, with respe& to the power of the Lord' Lieutenant to proclaim disturbed comi ties, and the' authority. of the 'Magistrates to arftNt persims who should be found out of their dwellings between silo setting and sun rising; but, in order to prevent hardships to the subjeds, the Bill "required that persons so arrested should be tried at, the ,Quar. ter Sessions,, by the Magistrates and. Apistaot Bar rister, assisted ,by . a Xing's ppunso, a Serjeant, spe cially sent down fio that purpose. Besides; this Bill, he ineant to . moVe for leave to bring in another to prevent improper persoes from keeping arms, by obliging all persons to 'register their arms; and au- . thonsing the Magistrates to search ter arms. These bills had been prepared by his predecessor, and the only "ditference as, that the Bill of his .predemsur W gave a negative to the King's Connsel or Serjeant; which 'he proposed to take from him, as it appeared to hint that such a negative mould render the; mea sure nugatory, lie meant, however, to substitute a clause, which should, in case ofeny difference be tween the Serjeant and the Benelt; suspend the ex ecution oldie decision of the Magistrates, till the' Serjeant shoold have reported the matter to the Lord Lieutenant. ; . Sir JoHN Nuw,roaT,wished to know what, was to be the .duration of the. Bill. Sir Ateritutt WELt,EstitY proposed seven , years, but his mind was. not yet *mite up 'on that head, hich :Alight - be tt suhjett for future discussion in the . Coinnitttee : on the Bill, • . Sir JOHN . NEIVPORT had asked the question, because . he thanglit that the shortest possible dura tion should be. given to Bills which'created such ex traordinary powers. It •Was his opinion, • that . the Bill should be'annual only, but the proper, time for discussing the merits 9f it would be when than Bill was before the House . . He thought it much better to give 'the - negative to the Serjeant who should be sent speCiallY down, as the Assistant BarriS'ter might, by aCting. constantly with the Magistrates, be in clined to decide with them. • 7'la : CUANCE,I..,LoR the EXCHEQUER agreed with the: Hen; - Baronet, that seven 'years.: would be 'too long a period for which to enact the As to the other point respeding the nega jive of the - King's Serjeant or Counsel, ho thought it wiser to defer the discussion of it until the clause should ~be .before the Honse, anti the Hon. Baronet should have an opportunity of judging whether it wan net :qtalified in stich a way to obviate his objeCtions. was sure it. would not be iatisfac tory to the - feelings - of the Magistrates of this coun try; nor lee Sitpposed of the Magistrates of 'lreland, that they should be lima inkr pares, whose opinion was to contraul all the rest: -.,lte• agreed that it was desirable to guard against the elfeaS .of, local preju diCes4 and it was With that view lie Understood. his Honourable Friend to state, that in ease of a diar'- ' mice, the decision of .the Magistrates should not be put into execution till the King's Counsel or Ser7 jeant should have made a report•of 'the case to the I, l ord Lieutenant.. '1 Serjeant or King's cent - Ise! ~was to be . sent down at the express nomination of ,the Government, and the only person then who was to have pay and in that view no 'desirable to .give a person so appciinted direct COiltrolli over the decision of the ,bsessians, thought it better to defer all discussion upon the .subjeca till the 33111 should be betbre the They wer9 agreed the; alto meamare, was neceiaary pi - L/islets should be made fir the exercise. of. the powers to be given by the Bill in the, most lenieet aad mitigated manner. Mr, O'Hell?"1 thought that the operationS . Pf the Bill would be attended with much expence:aita that it etiald not be expeEted that the Barrister or.Ser jeant should reside constantly in a disturbed County, and if they' did - riot they could - not atteiid'SesSions, wiiielt might be to, be held from week to week: Mr. LITTLETON thought it extraordinary that . such a measure as this should preceed from the Gentleman who charged the Gehaletneu pn his side with exciting a ferment in.tlie country, by rep giving religious animosities, when the Gentlemen opposite had laid so solid a foundation for the trans quilitrof Ireland, by cutting off all hOpei of an equal participation of rights, which was the strongest ins centive to loyalty and good cendua, Colonel VEREKES was net surprised that this Bill should besapposeil by the Gentlemen on the op posite side, as their whole coedu6l, for some time back, had been 4im6ted (o excite religions animosi ties among. the people of Ireland. Lord HOWICK . had lately heard many speeches that, surpriSed hiM, but never one that astonished hint snore than that of the Hon. Gentleman who had just. sat down. The frlon,'Gentietnati, surety, tonld" not have been 'a witness of what had been passing, viben: he charged the Gentlemen on the side of the House frilfll, which he was speaking, with exciting religious animosities. It was a similar misconception in the Honourable ~Gentleman to suppose and : state that they were opposing a measure which-se - was in sons degree their own 'measure. Though thesHonour able Gentleman had imputed metivea to them, he should net impufe any motive to heonly ads . vetted to the matter, in order to caution him how' he again hazarded such unfounstaeharges.....,,He admitted that this was not the stage for discussion, bet he had to observe, that the Right Hon. Gentle-. span opposite had not been governed by the .advice he had given to the House . As hetad entered int 9 a statement to shew that the alteration proposed was for the better, he should say a few .weeds to sheii,, that the original clause was preferable. By the ata• teration, the Serjeant was to report,. in case: of slit' s. terence, to the Lord Lieutenant, and the consequence would be, that the Magistrates would also report, which would lead to unpleasant discoveries. pesislas, , this would be a circuitous operation, that might be better done by the negative of She King's Serjeant er Counsel, which once recognised, would be cheerfully aequieieed in, and it was to be retnembered, that the negative was to be against cenvielipe, and its favour. of the subje&. . . Colonel VEREICER, in expianatios, stated that he had not been in the House When his 'Honour able Friend had ppened the question, and had heard, only the Speech ialthe Honourable Gentletun un der the Gallery, which was certainly in opposition to the. Bill, Mr. GRATTAN was concerned that,. a Rill mfr that nature should be necessary: But this and every other stuck 11ih vas' a Violent nica,gUre,. and against' the prhiciples of the cohstitutiop, ;pe,riedof. such measures ought to be short, in orsler to shew to.thespeople_ that they had-.at leastsa-TeVersienary interest in the constitusion. These measures could only be justified by an imeerioes neCessity. Pf.the objets of his. Hon. Frieeds, , thee were to unite tall ciassei ffi subje.

TOat 'most extraOrdi narypowers, &c." This was the case, however, - and until it should be shewn to him that the necessity, forthe measure existed; he should oppose it in every ,„ ,• •. stage. Mr. WHITBREAD thought that the meirsure had never been, and ought not to be, enacted for so long a period as seven years. (It was here stiBgested that the .461 had been confirmed fur seven - years by the Parliament of Ireland in t 80U,. andwould expire ta; Summer). At any rate it had at first ..been Ona&ed but from year to year. He f&Und himself, itt .differ ent circumstances from his Right. Man.
