DUBLIN GRAND JURY. Mr. WETHERELL said that he had r ece i ve d a Petition which he now rose to p res ent to the Ho wse, from the' Grand Jury of the City of D u bli n , who gat upon th e recent questions which arose out of the outrage offered to the person of the Lord Lieutenant at the Theatre. The time at which the petition had been put into his hands, would not allow of his having the necessary communication with the parties before th e sub ject came on to be decided by the opinion of the House on Thursday next. That beMg the case, he cou ld only simply lay the petition before the House, and by such a course he was not to be pled ge d to any particular part in the dis cuss i on which would then ta k e place. He hoed, th ere f ore, it woulft be considered by.the House, that the having performed a duty, the refusal of wliich would have been discourteous to the par. ties Who did him the honour to request it, did not constitute a pledge either directly or indirectly, as to' his future conduct uptin the question. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that from the statement of the Hon. Gentleman, the House had yet to learn what. the Petition was about. He thought that die manner in which the Petition had been introduced to the llouse was a sufficient proof that the present Membe r f or t h e City of D u bli n was unable to at tend to the duties of both' the situations which he occupied. The Hon. Member iniuht at least have told th e H ouse what was the prayer or complaint of the petitioners. Mr. WETHERELL said that the Hon. Member for West minster must have a peculiar apathy with respect to assing events, if he did not know th e su bj ec t o f t h e Petition. Il s e could Dot have been aware that the lion. Mamba wished to have the petition read twice, and as the Clerk would read it in the re gular order, he had not thought it necessary to do so himself. The Clerk then read the Petition as follows : " To the Right Ilonourable and Honourable the Knights. Citizens, and Burgesses of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. " The Petition of the Grand Jury of the County of the City of Dublin, at a Commission of Oyer and Terminer, held at Greet-street, on the Ist of January, 1323. " Humbly Sheweth—That your Petitioners having been int pannelled and sworn on the Ist day of Jan. last, where charged by Mr. Justice Moore, the senior and presiding Judge, 'at the Commission, and were. by him apprised that in the course of their official duties, bills of indictments would be preferred to them against persons charged with having participated in the riots which were alleged to have occurred at the Theatre Royal, on the 14th of December, 1022, in the presence of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. That his Lordship did most particularly impress on your Petitioners the im periims necessity of confining their attention to the • evi dence -that should be submitted to them, and discharging from. their minds any. impre ss io n w hi c h th e y m i g ht p revio usly have received from the public rumour. That bills of indict ment were on the first day of the Commission preferred to your Petitioners against ten persons ' by which they were charged with a conspiracy to riot and assault, and insult his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, at the Theatre Royal, and by which they were also charged with having committed a riot in his Excel lency's presence. " That, in support of those indictments, a great number of witnesses were sent to your Petitioners, not being to close the said examination on the Ist, adjourned to the' d of January, when, after examining other witnesses, and deliberating on the evidence, they ignored the bills for a conspiracy against all the parties, and ignored the bill for a riot agatnit all of them, except George Graham and Henry Handwitche, as to whom they found. the bill. 61 That your Petitioners are informed, and will be able to prove, that as soon as the proceedings were communicated to his Majesty's Attorney-General, who was then in Court, and engaged in an important prosecution, he rose and addressed the Bench in substance as follows MY Lonna—Upon a case the mast interesting that ,ever occurred in this country, two bills of indictment have been sent up to the Grand Jury of the City of Dublin against five persons, one set of bills charging a 'conspiracy to cause a riot at the theatre, in which the person of the Lord Lieutenant was outraged and insulted, the other bills charging a riot generally. Upon the first indictment the Grand Jury of the city of Dublin have ignored the bills against all par ties. Upon the second indictment they have found a riot com mitted, implicating two of the persons in the indictment, Gra ham and one of the liandwitches ; it is needless to observe to the Court, that according to the technicalities of our law, a riot cannot be committed by only two persons, had even hills been found for a riot only against all the parties, I would then have felt it to be my duty to adopt the line of conduct I am about to intimate in'the presence of the Court. I will not arrogate to my self the office of arraigning the Grand Jury of the City of Dub lin ; they have discharged their functions in the presence of their God, under the sanction of a solemn oath, taken in the face of their country—to.that God alone are they accountable. Hut I have also a duty to perform—l will, without anticipating the guilt of any individual, state solemnly, hi the presence of this crowded audience, that in all my readings—in all my experi sence—in all the annals Of this unfortunate country—l never did find a case so fully demonstrated, of the foulest conspiracy to riot, of so much atrocity, as scarcely to be heightened by the ag- Ravation, that its avowed object was to insult and outrage the epresentative of the Miles Majesty in the public Theatre. I will exercise'the prerogative that the Law and Constitution has given to my office ; I will discharge that duty honestly, and with the blessing of God, fearlessly, unintimidated by that gang which have formed themselves into a faction to beard the King's GOVernment, and to overturn the laWs of the country, and even to insult and outrage the very person Of the King's Representative in Ireland, and pursuing the.course of outrage and violence from the hostility that they had taken up against that venerated Nobleman, for zeal and firmness in carrying into effect the King's intentions towards Ireland, of allaying the dissension, and healing the wounds that have afflicted this unhappy country. The course of conduct that my duty di rects me to pursue, will be ,in the execution of the prerogative annexed to my office, to tile cx-officiainformations, and speedily to bring before the country all the parties charged in these in dictments.', Petitioners were not present at the delivery of the Address, nor were they until Saturday, the 4th of January, able to satisfy themselves that the above statement of it was substantially correct. " That they heard that one of the Learned Judges had on Friday, the 3d, expressed surprise at their decision, and they felt that it no longer bectime them to remain silent, and that they owed it to themselves as individuals, and as a body en gaged in the administration of justice under the sacred obli gation of their oaths to remonstrate against imputations, the severity of which they felt the more keenly, us well becauie they seemed sanctioned by higher authority, as because they were precluded from the power of refuting them. " That the Petitioners, though fully satisfied that the tan. gunge of the Attorney-General was calculated to impress every one who heard it with the conviction that he intended to impute to them, not an error of judt,nuent, but a violation of their oaths, did yet believe it possible that there was .Some mistake in the report of his observations, and they therefore determined to ad dress the Court in terms of remonstrance; which at the same time they should unequivocally repel the charge of corruption, should leave room for explanation, and enable the Attorney- Gederal to do them the justice of withdrawing the heavy charge which his address, as reported, was manifestly calculat ed to convey. " That under the influence of those feelings they on Mon day the Bth of January, addressed the Court by their foreman in the following words My Lords —We the Commission, G ran d J ury o f O yer and Terminer o'f the County of the City of Dublin have learned with deep regret; ) that the discharg e o f our official duties with respect to certain Bills of Indictment, has been made a sub. hect of animadve r sio n b y hi s Majesty's Attorney-General, and as been pronounced by this High Court to have been a matter of surprise; we hope that neither the Court, nor with its sanc tion his Majesty's First Law Officer, intended to convey an putation that our judgment was influenced by fear, favour, or affection. A charge of such a nature, without adverting to the enormity of the crime, which it would impute w ou ld be even. tinily. unjust for our oathi of secmy, which forbids the disclosure of the grounds of our judgment, would render the vindication of that judgment, and if necessary, the satisfactory refutation of such a charge impossible. It must be recollected that to us exclusively is the Evidence known on which our judgment was founded, and we therefore trust that this High Court will re. ceive the declaration which we now solemnly and unanimously make, that our decision was the result of a laborious scrutiny of the evidence, of a conscientious - consideration of its weight, and of a sincere anxiety to adhere to the directions of the Learned Judge, who so fully and so clearly detailed to us the nature of our ditties ? and the principles by which we were bound to be approbation of the m anner and Mr. Justice Moore, h av i ng b een regulated in discharging them. ple'as‘ T ed ha t t o tl e i e x pr. his Judge, sub stance of their remonstrance, and to declare that as far as reo lated to what had fallen from the Bench, the language of the Court had been grossly misrepresented, your Petitioners feel themselves no longer entitled to impute to his Lordship any in tention of censuring their conduct. "'That this remonstrance, thus publicly made in open Court, has, as your Petitioners believe, been communicated to his Majesty's Attorney-General, whose omission to notice or re ply to it induces them to conclude that the charge intimated by his observationsis persisted in ; and, under the circumstances, your Petitioners are advised that a Petition to Parliament is the only course by which they can con s ti tut i ona ll y o b ta i n any sort of redress. They do, therefore, humbly submit, that the address of his Majesty's Attorney-General, th oug h i t pro f esses Apt to arraign, does, in fact and in substanc e , arraign you r Petitioners ; that it does most distinctly declare, that the case was one in which the f ou l est cons p iracy had been fully demonstrated ; that these unwarrantable reflections of his Ma jesty's Attorney-General press with the greatest severity and weight on your Petitioners, because by the law of the land they are deprived of the means of demonstrating their injustice, bound'by the solemn obligation of an oath to the observance of secretly ; they are not at liberty to divulge the nature of the evi dence they have heard, or the reasons of judgment they . have pronounced. That the Address of the Attorney-Gene ra l, in ad dition to thegeneral charge of corruption agai ns t your Petitioners, contained an insinuation that they had found Bills for a riot .against two only of the prisoners indicted with &knowledge that by the rules of law such finding would be abortive, arid with a criminal design of defeating any further proceedings thereon. But your Petitioners not only solemnly deny the justice of such .1 3 ittc...g,tv.NeN6E : an imputation, but utterly disclaimed that knowledge of' the law which it supposes, and have since found upon ifiquiry, that the technical difficulty suggested by the Attorney-General, presented no obstacle to the prosecution of two persons, against whom the Bills were found, 'and that the Crown might have proceeded to trial, and obtained jud gmen t against Them, al though the Bills preferred against the others had been ignored. That your Petitioners having no other mode of means of re dress, have at length reluctantly been compelled its an act of dlity not only to themselves, their feelings, arid their charac ters, bit to the free and due administration of public justice to submit the consideration of their case to the wisdom of your Honourable House, .in . full reliance that whatever shall be deemed necessary or expedient to prevent the recurrence Of such an evil in future, will be adopted and applied. And yolir Petitioners will ever pray. . . . . . " For and on behalf of Self and FelloieJutors, , (Signed) . " GEORGE WHITEFORD.- " Dublin, 7th of April, 1ii23." . Mr. PLUNKETT addressed the House, but was frequently : inaudible. lie did not intend, in offering the obstervatirs which he tho u ght n ec e ssar y u p on thi s occasion, to anticipate the discussion of Thursday next. If he were dispoSed to ob ject to the Petition,,he found himself authorised to do set by errors in its form; but that was not his intention or desire.--- . Had the petition contained a direct charge that he; in the did- charge of hisnfficial duty had imputed corruption to the mo tives which actuated the conductor the Grand Jury, he might have rested the refutation Of that charge upon the Petition it self ; • for no person who bad heard it read could understand by his statement that he entertained any such intention. When the Grand Juty returned their finding upon the Bill of in dictment, he was in Court, and heard it delivered. And from the petition it would appear that he had taken the determina tion to proceed by an ex-officio information under the feeling of beat and resentment, in consequence of the nature 'of that find ing. The fact was, that when on the previous evening he was informed of what the witnesses had expressed as to the manner of their examination by the Grand Jury, and when other facts were communicated to him which he should not now state, he had the honour of consulting with the Solicitor-General and Mr. Townsend upon the subject, and it was then decided that an ex-of ficio in fonnatinn should be filed incase of the bills being ignored. This did not look like the proceedinga of warmth or resentment, and most certainly the course pursued could not have grown out of any such feeling, upon the finding of the Grand Jury...... A great attempt hail been made out of doors to excite a belief that he had acted with partiality and under the influence of party feeling, with regard to the political or religious se ct of the persons implic a t e d in these transactions, instead of faith fully and conscientiously discharging his duty as a public offi cer. He did think that a reference to his whole life might be a sufficient answer to any such accusation : but he nevertheless thought it necessary to state, that the Solicitor4eneral, ' hose w feelings upon th e re li g i ou s ; p o in t 'ere diametrically nosed to his own ; had concurred i n a ll the measures that had been adopted towards the persons a ccu s ed Any bias which that Hon. and learned Gent. might have, must necessarily be the other way, at they disagreed totally, and as widely as possible upon that question. But Upon the determinationor enforcing. the law against whatever parties transgressed it, they were aN Completely and entirely agreed. The statement contained in the petition, as being that which he delivered to the bend), was very much like what he did say ; and he would appeal to the candour of any Gentleman who heard it read; whether there' was not a distinct disavowal of all intention to impuign the motives of the Grand Jury. The petition, however insinuated that be had im e puted corruption to them, and they complained that he had not explained himself to the contrary, "as bad been done by the Judge. But he must here state that the Grand Jury had sup pressed (not intentionally of 'course) what the Judge actually said upon that subject. The Judge denied 'any imputation of corruption on his part, hut stated that he did express his sur prise at the findihg. He further added, that if he (Mr. Plun kett) had been made to say any thing which questioned the motives of the Grand Jury, he. had been grossly misrepre sented. With regard to his having made, himself, no explanation to this effect, he was not in Court at the time the application was made by the Jury. Therefore, even if an apology had beeniduc, he could not see how it *as to have been made ; but feeling, as lie did, that no appology was called for, it was'. still more unlikely to have been offered lie contended that hl3 statement to the Petty Jury at the subsequent trial confirmed his petition. Ile then stated thatlie abseliik...

Ariel she Bill had been thrown out, he would now candidly confess, that the conduct of the Grand Jury formed a t tnaterial, though nut a principal ingredient in determining hieupon the course which he afterwards thought it right to pursue. But he did not con. sider himself warranted in stating that at a time when he had no right to charge diem, because they had not the power to answer- Now the case was different, and he felt himself au thorised and called upon to state publicly, drat their condu c t had a mate r i a l i n fl uence u p on his mind, in deciding hint to preceed.upon an cx-teAcio information. Vet even now he did . not attack them. He only stated this, being thrown on his de fence by the petition before the House. His. determination was influenced by the communications made to hint of the con duct of the Grand Jury towards the witnesses, and of other" facts which he should not now state, and which he should never state unless he had at the same time an opportunity of verify-. ing them. He must now say, that the conduct of the Grand Jury towards him was of a very different description. They called, for the censure of the House upon his conduct, and endeavoured to throw obloquy upon him, and to impeach Ins motives, by a petition, which proposed no means of coming to a decision upon• the question. if that had not been their intention, they would not have put the petition into the hands of his Hon. Friend, who had presented it, as he performed every thing which f e ll to his duty, with the greatest propriety. Wby way it not given to some onourable Member who was acquainted with the circumstances of the case, from local connexion ? Why was it committed to the hands of a stranger ? The fact was, that it was presented for the purpose of paving the way for a motion that was to come on in die ensuing week, and to excite a prejudice upon that question. There was no one other fact, to which he would beg the attention of the House, and which had been suppressed in the Petition. There were two counts in the bills presented to the Grand Jury, which had only a very slight difference. The one charged the two persons with a riot, cum multus aliis, and the other was limited to themselves. The Jury returned their finding upon the last, and ignored the first count. That circumstance, he was now free to confess, had a considerable influenci on his mind with regard to Ida subse quent conduct. ! . The Petition was ordered to be printed: MESSAGE. A Message from the House of Lords announced their Lord ships' Assent to several Bills. NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in moving the committal of the Naval and Military Pensions Bill, had to offer a few observations in explanation of its objects. There had been considerable doubt as to the wording of the .pct of last year, relative to the power given to the 'Trustees for ne gociating the sale of these pensions. It hatl been supposed that the Act limited their power to sell to the succeeding year; but it had been considered more advantageons to the public, that the whole of the pensions, which would list five years and a half, s ho u ld b e t rans f er t et i by one bargain.-- The Government had therefore agreed to take as a ba-ns of such sale the price of Long Annuities on the lst of March, the day on which they closed ; and on that day they were worth 181.175. lld. It had been agreed upon this basis, th.it the Bank should take the whole upon advancing in the five years and a half 13,089,4194 But as this was not to be ad vaneed at once, but by instalments, it would be only equal to a first advance of 11,888,194/. According to this calenlation they would be paid 41.21. Id. per cent. being equal to 487,78 W. the permanent interest of 11,883,184/., this arrangement inight have been made .according to the strict letter of the Act of tent year, but for one year only, and the trustees might have been; allowed to alter the agreement at the expiration of each y cow But as these advantageous terms had been obtained on the parr of the public, it had been thought advisable to secure their tinuanee. Mr. GRENFELL rose to oppose the measure, and moved that the Bill be committed that day six months. He was not at all disposed to quarrel,with the tertus upon which the pen sions were proposed to be sold. He might, indeed, ray that die Right lion.
