'ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir, —Ten Years unremitting protestations,, both in and out of the Irish Court of Chancery, against the delinquencies of its officers, has made my sister, Mrs. Catherine Winter's same, and that of the large Irish estates which belong to my family, and to me, something more than familiar to the British public. My sister's appeals against the injustice and oppression with which she has been treated, have become matters of history, and are fully explained in the works which :he has published. And it has been my lot to skare with that gentlewoman the heavy costs—the ceaseless anxiety—the bodily and mental labour which so protracted a season of litigation must necessarily entail on all who embark in law. Mrs. Wintii lost no opportunity of bringing her grievances, as they bore down upon her, from time to time, before the world; and I have thrice thrown up my scientific and literary pursuits to sustain her in her struggles with the legal tyranny of which she had just cause to complain. But, while there was a private individual whO set up so much as a pretence to a right which could keep us out of possession of our maternal estates, which yield an annual income of over £15,000, I did not feel justified—l did not think it would be manly for me to complain publicly of the wrongs from which I was suffering, and to call upon those numerous friends and the public, in whose interest I have spent 'say life working in literature and science, to sustain me against my opponents. Now, however, I have to complain, not only of the rickery perjury, and the stealing of rents from my tenants gang of property robbers and their arnts, but I have also to complain of the administration of justice in Ireland, and the conduct of the Irish courts of equity and law. I have now to,fight with the officers of the Crown in that country to get possession of my property, and as such struggles cannot be carried on by any individual whose means are withheld from him; and as determined resistance to injustice coming from such quarters, is a duty every man owes to the public, as well as' to--his-own family, I feel assured that, the numer ous classes to whom I am known in England, will not leave me to be trampled upon while I am standing up for my rights. My charges against the Irish Law Courts are specific and- intelligible. I charge the Court of Chancery with knowing that my brother Parnell Maillard. and myself, were made parties to the felonious suit of Stubber v. Wolfe while minors, and were brought before the court without being represented by a guardian or a friend, and as though we had been adults and of full age — that receivers were appointed over our property—that these receivers feloniously suppressed the existence of our large real.estatei—that these receivers were never called upon by the court to account for our rents while minors—that the large personal estates to which we were entitled, were also for the most part suppressed and never accounted for—that the money which was brought into court was withdrawn from the Bank of Ireland upon orders of the court, which are not to be found on its records—that the accounts supplied to us from the Account ant-General's office show serious irregularities, amounting to a charge of embezzlement, against some of the officers of that department ; and, lastly, that we, who ought to have appeared as minors in that suit, have_ been kept before the Court for a period of THIRTY-FOUR YEARS, and are still kept before the Court, and receivers over our property in these felonious proceedings, These facts were brought prominently before the late Irish Chan cellor by Mrs. Winter, and before the present Chancellor by myself, and in both instances on oath. Where a felony can be proved, the reader will ask, " How is it the offenders have not been given into cus tody and brought before a magistrate ?" The answer is, 4 ‘ offences committed in Chancery, must be dealt with by the court in which they have occurred." This at once explains the difficulty of bringing the offenders in our case to justice. The Chancellor must be moved by counsel, and you must not expect a shepherd to turn butcher, for the mere love of slaughter. We have tried hard to work this conversion, and it has failed, and I now pass on to the charges which I have to Wing against the stipendiary magistrates of the Queen's County. After spending eight years in endeavouring to extract our actual title to the estates in question from the records of a twenty-five years' Chancery suit, we found that our grandfather, the Rev. Sewell Stabber, was seized in fee , of the estates he bequeathed to us, and that he had made leases on those *states to his tenants, and we being the devisees and representatives of the lessor, issued warrants of distress for rent, and put our bailiffs into possession. These distresses were allowed to r :remain unmolested for the time nquired by law. When the day of sale came, the property seized was sold by public auction, and after it had been sold for rent, without legal opposition, it was suffered to be rescued by infuriated mobs, and has been, up to this time, feloniously withheld from its lawful purchasers. Immedi ately after the rescue took place, I applied to Capt. Whelan, the stipendiary magistrate for the Queen's County, for the assistance of the police, but he refused to take the informa tions of our bailiffs and ourselves, and the aid of the police was not, therefore, to be had. One of the tenants distrained on this occasion, Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber, took legal proceedings in order to try and relieve himself from my distress. He commenced a replevin suit in the Court of Exchequer, and laid the 'damages for detaining his cattle at £5OO ; but he repudiated his suit the day after he served his writ, and thereby abandoned his right of action, and admitted my right of.distress beyond all question. Yet this was not enough for Captain Whelan to grant me protection in the exercise of my legal rights, and the property taken from me by mob violence is still rtgAniouily held fp% me, Finding that there was to redress to be had from the magisterial bench, I was advised by counsel to file a cause petition against Sewell Maillard Stubber, Robert Hamilton Stubber, and others, to compel them to acconnt for my rents, which they had been receiving during my minority, 'and without my knowledge or consent ; and, in the sworn answers they filed to this petition, Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber disclaimed all right and title to by far the largest half of the estates willed to me and my brothers and sister, and set up, for the first time in thirty-four years, litigation,— a shadow of a title which could only be tried at law. and could not be entertained by a court of equity. I was, therefore, advised to distrain again on the tenants, and, in the month of November last, I levied a second distress on Mr. Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber, who held the lands of Castle &ming', as tenant under a lease executed by the Rev. Sewell Stubber, one of whose devisees and representatives I am. This distress was levied by two persons well known in Liverpool, who offered to undertake that duty for me. But here again mobs were resorted to, and the persons actingas my bailiffs were placed in danger of their lives, and were obliged to abandon their distress. An applicatio n was then made to the nearest magistrate, Col. Fisher, for protection. This gentleman refused to act, and the application was treated us " an unwarrantable intrusion." Resource was then had to the assistant stipendiary magistrate for the Queews County, Mr. Samuel Hann a, who refused to act in the absence of the local magistrates,* and referred the applicants to the petty sessions, when Mr. Hanna again refused the informa tions of my bailiffs, but offered to grant summonses against a neob, which summonses could not have been heard until 'the time fixed by law for selling the-goods distrained had expired, and my distress would have gone for nothing. The public will know what construction to put upon this mode of proceeding. Had the persons distrained any cause of complaint, they could have replevined at a cost of a few shillings, and my right would have been legally tried by a jury in the county in which they are as well known as I am. But there would have been both law and justice in this—and the parties with whom I had then to deal knew full well that neither one nor the other would do for them ; and therefore, after sending my bailiffs and auctioneer to the ground on the day of sale, I was obliged to abandon my distress in a house closely barricaded against the execution of a right every man is allowed to exercise where he stands as the representative of a lessor of the holding distrained. I now pass on to my charges against the judges of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas. When mob violence was suffered by the magistracy to defeat my last distress for rent, I was advised by Queen's counsel, Mr Walter Bourke, to serve a tenant, named Joseph Duigin, with an ejectment for non-payment of twenty years' rent, which was done; and Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber, who is himself a tenant under ejectment, applied to the Court of Common Pleas to be allowed to defend this tenant. I was opposed to admitting him, but I was overruled by my counsel, who said that, "if Mr. Hamilton Stubber pleaded, that the issue could be tried at the following assizes." But he could net plead as the law directs in a case of ejectment for non-pay ment of rent, an,d consequently there could be no issue for trial. Joseph Duigin, the occupying tenant, and the other persons served with this ejectment, did not take defence, and I caused the pleadings in the action to be taken off the file, and judgment was marked a,gainst them. The momeut they were in default, I was entitled, as every other man is, to judgment for the amount of rent set forth in any ejectment against all the parties who had not taken defence to the action. This is the every day practice, and the right that every man enjoys in the United Kingdom. Still there was no such measure of justice for me in the Irish Court of Common From the moment I had established my right in a court of law' the officers of that court, from the master down to the humblest clerk, took the deepest interest in the cause, and nothing that I did was right. When I demanded that whiCh I was entitled to, in a wa y that could not be objected to, I was told that'such things could not be done ; whereas, all that I did was, to mark judgment with a view of getting execution for £2,769 5s against tenants occupying my land, and who had allowed judg ment to go against them by default. To refuse a plaintiff execution under such circumstances, is a perver sion of the law, which I call upon the public to support me in resisting While I was engaged in these singular parleys with the officers of the Court of Common Pleas, Mrs. Winter was occupied in her memorable and praiseworthy motions before the judges sitting in chamber and in court, where she had to combat the highest genius, and most popular men at the Irish bar. She had been brought into court by Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber, on notice to set aside a rule made by the court, to entitle her to appear in person, This motion she successfully resisted, and Chief Justice Monahan after hearing her statementii on three motions, and learning that she was one of the devises of the lessor of the lands before the court—said that "the best thing she could do was to issue her Sabers, and enter into possession of her property." Mrs. W inter had previously complained to the Chief Justice that the officer of the court had refused to enter our judgment, and the Chief Justice replied, that "if the officer of the court refused to 4:lh his duty, she was to bring him before him." Tb e officer has since then repeatedly refused to enter the judgmE .nt. But my complaint in this : matter is, that all the judges who have had these ejectm; :nts before them—namely, Judge Keough, Judge Ball, and C hief Justice Monahan—have one and all of them been made acquainted with the fact that my sister and I were suing tens nts as the devisees and repre sentatives of the lessor of c the lands occupied by those tenants. Knowing this, upt ni what pretext could any court allow third parties to enter into the suit, more particularly men who were tenants thetaiselves, and under ejectments served by us. A man I rho receives rents of lands bequeathed to another is a fe, lon, and ought to be treated as such by those who are plac ed in the position of public guardians. Who can go between a lessor and his tenants, but the heirs named it i the will of the lessor, before, a paramount title has been es tablished at law. The frau dulent usurpation and receipt of rents by these persons is no justifieation of what is in itself a penal offence. I now turn to the Irish Court of lane en's Bench. No sooner had Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber obtained leave to take defence in my action of ejectment against my tenant, Joseph Duigin, than he served th is very tenant with an eject ment grounded on the lease , in which the rents reserved by it are payable to me, and the co-representatives of the lessor. To this ejectment, Joseph Duigin took defence, but owing to some accident, his defence was not filed until the day after the time allowed by law had expired' Consequently, an application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench for leave for Mr. Hamilton Stubber to mark judgment against the very tenant who Mr. Stubber had been trying a few days before to protect against the claims of the Maillards. Mrs. Winter appeared to oppose the motion, and again gave the court distinctly to understand that the defendant, Joseph Duigin, was a tenant under a lease exe cuted by the Rev. Sewell Stubber, whose devisees and repre sentatives she and her brothers were. On this occasion, Mr. Brereton, Queen's Counsel, who appeared for Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber, admitted both our will and the lease ! Where, then, was there a counter right or a shadow of oppos ing title ? There could be none ; yet the Chief Justice of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench allowed a Queen's counsel,who had admitted the right of distress and eviction in Mrs:Win ter and her co-devisees, to walk out of court to mark. judgment against a man who was morally and legally bound to pay his rent to the representatives of the man who made his lease. Did Chief Justice Lefroy want to be told that the men who received the rents reserved in that lease, and who were not the heirs or representatives of the lessor, laid themselves open to a charge of felony ? And that, the Court of Queen's Bench was a most appropriate place to have investigated the suspicion of such a charge ? Mrs. Winter had applied to this very judge, as a party *beneficially interested in the notion brought by Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber against this unfortunate tenant, to bo allowed to defend him.' But he ruled in direct opposition to Judge Keough, "that no third party could be allowed to take defence to an ejectment for non-payment of relit." In this case the judge of the Queen's Bench was quite right, and Judge Keough of the Common Pleas, who had allowed Mr. Robert Hamilton Stubber to take defence in my action against Duigin, was palpably wrong! But when Chief Justice Lefroy found that Mrs Winter could not be allowed to take defence on behalf of her tenant, and hav ing a clear, unmistakeable, and paramount title before him, was he not bouni to dismiss Mr. Hamilton Stubber's eject ment ? The recital of these proceedings will, however, be suffi cient to show the British public how law is administered in Ireland ; and that I am kept out of my property, not by private individuals, but by dereliction of duty on the part of the officers of the Crown ; and that between the Irish Courts of Chancery, Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and the Queen's County Magistracy, I and my co-divisees have been kept for thirty-four years out of possession of large personal pro perties and real estates, with a rental of at least £15,000 a year ! And, will it be believed that upwards of £6OO worth of property seized and sold by me.for rent in the month of April, 1867, has been suferal by the Irish authorities to remain in the hands of a mob up to the present time. Such a statement will scarcely be credited. Bat it is too true ; and now, after I have spent over £4,000 and ten years of my life, in endeavouring to rescue my property from the hands of a lawless band of usurpers, and that they are laid by their own oaths and admissions prostrate at my feet, I have fresh opponents in the Irish courts themselves, to combat. I rely, however, on the generous sympathy of the public for funds, to enable me to bring_ my grievances, which are now of a public character, before Parliament, and to take such other steps as I may be 'advised, to obtain simple justice. I have endeavoured to develope and review a combination of events governed by public officers of every grade, from the Lord Chancellor to the Tipstaff—who, by having usurped an authority over the right of the subject, prove that some measures are wanting to enable unfortunate individuals who may be placed as I am to find some speedy remedy for their lawless oppression and, tyranny ; or presently the boasted right of a British subject will be cut down to the lowest grade of oppression and degradation,' and we shall feel ourselves manacled and chained down, and chained up, by persons in . power who may, frOm some cause that does not appear, decide upon our ruin by a breach of those laws every goo d c i tizen is bound to protect —I remain, sir, your very obedient servant, May 12, 1859.

Sir,-Our neighboura are now in the midst of war, and it is the belief of many well-informed that ere long England will have to unsheath the sword, whether in a Continental struggle, or to protect our own shores, remains to be seen. If we were likely to be at peace with all nations, would our Government have taken the warlike steps that they have done, and are at this moment doing ? The fact is, the future is enveloped in a dark cloud, through which we cannot see. Then let us be prepared for the future. Foreign despots know well the defenceless state of our country ; they know that our towns are not crowded with soldiers same as many of the Continental towns ; they know that massive forts do not line our coasts, and they know that eight-tenths of our people are ignorant of the use of fire - arms. The immediate formation of Volunteer Rite C- dr p s i s essentially necessary. No time should be t o train up our young men that may be able to defer...d. our country. Let us take our own town : we have only two forts (at the mouth of our noble river), which could do but little towards demolishing the "fleet of e.n invading Power. We have but few soldiers, and many hours must elapse before they could be augmented into any considerable force. We are not likely to receive much encouragement from Government, who should have supplied every volunteer with a rifle and accoutrements. The Liverpool Mercury quotes .£l4 for equipping each volunteer, but I think that we might go more economical to work. Let us, in the first place, quote the cost of rifle. Rifle with sword (and scabbard) to fit on the end of the barrel, in lieu of bayonet, same as used by the Rifle Brigade, will cost about 74s ; a set of accoutrements (sling for gun, cartridge pouch, belt for sword, &c.), about 255; green tunic jacket can be made for about 40s, cap as the corp might fix upon, say lOs - a plain black or blue cap would do. At the above quoted prices, which from enquiries I think are correct, the entire expense for equipment is £7 9s, being only a little over half of the expense quoted in the Mercury. Many wvql4 bg agreeable to P2e114 £? or g, that would hot for a moment think of spending pl 4. There are many it is true that could not even afford to spend £7. Let our merchant princes subscribe, for they have the most property, &0., at stake, and they ought to subscribe willingly in accordance to the means placed at their disposal. Let the equipments sub scribed for publicly, be the property of the subscribers, to be lent to volunteers as long as their names remained enrolled, on his leaving the corp to deliver up all equipments in perfect order. Our worthy Mayor has already called a meeting of the inha bitants to take this matter into consideration, and if the people of Liverpool wish to defend their country, and preserve their homes ; they are in duty bound to take such steps as shall be necessary for the immediate formation of Volunteer Rifle Corps. Mr. Editor, be good enough to insert the above in your excellent paper, and oblige yours, &c., Quick MARCIL HOW TO PREVENT WAR- Put the Royal Reprobates where King David plit Uriah, C OPE BROTHERS, AND co, , HAVE THIS DAY REDUCED TIIEik PRICE SHAG TOBACCO TWOPENCE PER POUND.
