STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. SPRING Rice moved for returns of the number of Special Sessious held in Ireland, and the number of persons committed and tried. slid also the number of cases in which special jn ries were sworn since the suspension of the Habeas CurpretAct,aud in so doing he wished to ask the Secretary of State for Ireland, whether it was his ititeatima to move for the renewal of its assepension. Mr. GOULBURN said that he did not consider the state of Ireland such as to require exactly the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act. Lord A. HAMILTON begged to remind the Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland, that the Howse had only given a conditional acquievcence in the coercive measures which had been extended towards Ireland. and since that he had only heard the Right Honourable Gentleman allude once to the state of that country; mud he begged to impress upon the Right Honourable Gentleman the necessity of giving the House adequate information before he called for the renewal of any of these oppressive Acts. His Mujeety'si Ministers had promised to institute a full inquiry into the condition of that country, and he wished to know whether any such investigation had taken place? Mr. GOULBURN said, he should not object to any observations which the Noble Lord might choose to make on the subject; but the House must be aware that he (Mr. Goulburn) had given noticed • motion for the renewal of the Insurrec tion Act, and when that period arrived, he hoped to be able to give the most satisfactory information to the House. After a few words from Lord A. HAMILTON, the motion was agreed to. Sir J. NRWPORT complained of the neglect of the state of Ireland. He had understood that the renewal of the Insurrection Act at the beginning of the Session, was a measure intended to give time for • full inquiry into the grievances of Ireland, which were supposed not to be ripe for discussion. He knew the dauber of..eaying any thing which would tend to agitate the public mind, but he was also •ware of the peril of neglecting to remedy that which was the subject of general complaint. The country was uuw reaping the baneful effect of such neglect. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY contended that the affairs of Ireksid had been frequent subjects of inquiry with the House, as they were unremittingly so with the Government. The state of distress, the state of health, of tithes, and of taxes, had all been before them. Hardly any point which toadied their interests had been left unconsidered, and without having some remedial measure pro polled or applied for the specific and admitted griev fume. At the same tune he protested against the sup position that inquiry by Committee of the House or tip stairs, was the best or only effectual mode of finding out awl remedyinr, what was defective. If the Right Honourable Baronet had any specific remedy to propose fur any grievance which he thought had been left without one, he would du well to bring it forward. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said, that if the Noble Lord suffered the Session to pass over with merely renewing the Insurrection Act, and pot point out and redress the particular grievances of Ire land, he would be deficient in his duty. Nor would the Members of the House adequately dis charge their duty if they contented themselves so easily. if something mese not done for t h e secu rity of Ireland, to restore her people to happin es s and enjoyment, the whole military power of Eng land would be insufficient to keep them down. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observed, that Government had done what they could in the remis sion o f taxes, the employment of labour. and .msk ing provision fur the poor. Mr. CURWEN give notice of a motion, on bring kg up the Report on Naval and Military Peneions, ilepecting the Suit Tux. ••• Mr. Bair presented a Petition from James rater, fisli'-curer. Bristol, praying for the remission it the whale of the salt tea, which, after • kw deeds from the Clitiecebboa of the Exceitteuea. Ina °Mend to be printed. ILCHESTER GAOL Sir F. BUltrittr prayed the indulgence of the House white he troubled them with a few explana. tory remarks on the motion lie war about to make. He thought that any documents tending to throw a light on this subject ought to be gladly furnished; he was astonished, therefore, when he foiled that the ournals of tag Magistrates kept iu the gaol bad VII. nfilited. He thought it wee due to Mr. Hunt, after all that had been alai t shout him, MA those journals should be produced. He reminded the House of the statement which he had ramie, of the small inconvenient apartment in which' Mr. Hunt had been confined, with the eloquent air, which could only be ventilated by opening a door iu a particular direction. But the remarkable part of the case was this, that the Magistrates had ad. muted the unhealthiness of the prison, and especi slly of this apartment ; that the door which was closed had been opened by the gaoler in regard merely to the salubrity of the prison, and yet Dr. Colson. when it radie to his turn to act as visiting Magistrate, ordered the door to be closed. He had subsequently authorised the Right Honourable Secretary to state that he did so because of some supposed danger of escape arising from the new buildings going on in that part of the prison. The next circumstance was, that the Rev. Doctor had refused an interview to Mr. Hunt with his dying sister; and the Doctor's reply. through the Right Hon. Secretary. was, that he did not know Mr. Hunt had a sister. Now he had been down and seen the prison, and so fir was ' .the first pert of the apology of the Rev. Doctor to be depended on, that there was no buildrog going on as he had described. It was impossible that his reason for closing the door should have bees owing to that cause. There was indeed no reason to justify Doctor Colson at all. The other circumstance was of more importance. Mr. Hunt had applied to tw o M ag i s t ra t es f or ad mission for his friends, in order to sign a legal in strument in their presence, to which he was to be a party. This was refused ; he was obliged to get • the turnkeys to witness it. Whether the deed so attested would be good in law he did not know ; but the question was, what could be intended by such trntment but the spite of harassing and af flicting the prisoners committed to their charge. The Rev. Doctor had stated two things as facts; one, which was wholly untrue, to his certain knowledge, and he had good reason to disbelieve the other. He expressed his surprise at the amplifications in a re. port of the speech of the Right Hon. Secretary, which appeared in the SAerbern Mercury. There was a recital of facts respecting Mr. Hunt's treat ment of a prisoner, named Wyat, and of this fellow hiving surprised Mr. Hurt with his own niece, which the Right Hon. Secretary had never uttered. This was a very gross and injurious charge In he circu lated against Mr. Hunt, when in reality there was sto ground for it whatever. Miss Grey, Mr. Hunt's niece, had visited him in company with Mrs. Vince, with whom Mr. Hunt had lived for many years, aid his own son. The evidence which Wyat gave of the affair was, that he saw Miss Grey sitting on Mr. Hunt's knee; and a hen he was further inter. replied as to any generally improper conduct, he gave such incoherent answerv, that the Commis. sionera perceived that he was a lunatic, and dismissed him. It was surely too much to refer to the evi dence of this half-cracked fellow, who had been imprisoned for attempting to destroy Ilia wife and family, for proof of such a charge. There were, however, some extracts in the Report of the evi dence which required to be prosecuted further. A man of the name of Evans had been committed to the refractory ward ; the order, dated 24th October, 1815, was signed " Acland." The justification annexed was, that there was a necessity for sup. porting the authority of Government. This was an extraordinary motive for Magistrates to allege for practising cruelty on those committed to their charge. It appeared that he remained in solitary confinement and in irons till April IS, 1816. The visiting Magistrate, hearing that he had attempted to escape, thought fit to continue the order. The question now was, what had become of the man ? He might still be lingering in solitary con finement, and for an imaginary offence. The at tempt at escape was not over the prison wall. but over a paling in the prison yard, winch limited the space between the cells to the breadth of a door, as if every thing was done to deprive the prisoners of the littleadvanteges left within the walls. The Magistrates were highly blameable, they seemed in no instance to have examined inio any thing but what the gaoler put under their noses. He could not help observing how strongly and honourably the conduct of the Judges of the land its their rules for this very prison, con twisted with that of the Magistrates, who had quietly allowed shows which it would shock any Gentleman to read. He thought that it must be followed up. and they must know what had become of the man put into solitary confinement in iron.. The Hott. Baronet. Member for Somerset, talked of the ie. propriety of producing the journals, which were just like the notes of the Magistrate's pocket-book 111 his view. How could they be so considered whet they were kept by the Clerk of the Peace, in the county gaol, and were indeed no other than records belonging to the public, and paid for by 'he public? It might be said that as the gaoler was to go to trial. the contents of the journals would preisid:ce his case; but if he could from the journals prove the orders for what he had done. that would be his brat defence.— • There were two acts of his in which the Nlagistrates were not concerned—that of putting blister• un head of the gardener; and the treatment of aii unfor tunate girl to a soli:ary cell without water, a narra tive too horrible to rela!e, but which any Cicutitquan - • s ALIEN ACT. Mr. Secretary PI ‘L then rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice. The suc tion with which he should conclude, was a proposi tions that the powers conic-led to the Executive Go vernmeut by an Act of Parliament, commonly called the Alien Act, should be further continued for the term of two years. That motion had at va rious periods been submitted to the consideratiou of Parliament, and if in discussing it. in complireuce with the wishes of an Hou. Gentleman opposite. he made use of arguments whirl; had before been urged, he hoped he should not be toward with in dulging in an endless repetition of exhausted topics. To make perfectly clear and intelligible what he was about to say, he would mention in the outset, as the points which he proposed to discuss, the mag nitude and importance of the danger against which this Act was intended to provide, and the objections to it, which might probably be fouuded, tint on its departure from the ancient law of the land, and siest on the liability of the powers confided by the Act to abuse. He was perfectly aware that the period in whir h he wee proposing this measure, we. seventh year of peace. and that its the Speech from the Throne, at the commencement of Ust the Session, his Majesty stated to both flosses of Parliament that he continued to receive al surances of the continued friendly dispositions of foreign Powers. But whoever conodered the length of the war which preceded the present peace, the piinciples which gave rise to that war. the changes which those principles had produced in the subversion of many of the old, and the creation of new dynasties, and the variety of new and cot.flio. ing interests that were consequently awakened. must feel convinced that the niece signature of a treaty of peace could not possibly have eutirely eradicated those principles to which he had al luded, nor thoroughly consolidated the new rote• rests he had mentioned. Experience, indeed, proved that it had not had thut effect. For withla the last three years they had seen a large portion of the world convulsed, revolutions against the pre existing goverismenu effected in souse conutries, similar revolutions attempted iu other., and (poly defeated by the armed interference of • thud power. and conspiracies for similar objets U in many places detected and overthrown.
