HOUSE OF LORDS.
In Committee for Privileges.
Several peers, including the Earl of Shaftesbury, chair-
man, and the Lord Chancellor were present.
Ton Bela. or LANEBHonoeilli'll CLAIW—This claim to
vote at the election of reprtsentatiVe peers for Ireland was
before the committee twice before. The proofs were now
eompletod by the evidence of Colonel Latouche, proving that
the last earl died in 1847 without issue, having
ried, and that the present earl and claimant is the eldest eon
of the late earl's uncle, Augustus Butler Danvers.—The Lord
Chancellor moved, and it was resolved, that the claim was
made oat.
TIIIITIIxOT FIERA oE.—Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham,
Lord Campbell, the Earl of Devon, and other peers came in
as this ease was called on.—Sir F. Kelly,referring to the evi-
dence of Patrick Holton and John Egan, given in this case
on the 18th of July last (the substance of which was given in
the Express of the 19th), to the effect that the tombstone
was fabricated by Holton and Patty Magennis, who has gone
to America, said that although he wsa now about offering evi-
dance to contradict them, it was not his intention to clue
the case until Magennis himself shall be brought to contra-
dict them, if it be possible to bring him. [ln answer to Lord
Brougham.] The evidence he was now proposing to live
was strictly in contradiction, and his cross-examination of Hol-
ton and Egan on the 18th of July was with a view to contra-
dict them. The first witness he would now call was Charles
Dunn, is whose male cart the stone wu said to have been
brought from the qoarry to Magennis's house.
Charles Dunn, examined by Sir F. Kelly, said he lived at
Tinnehinch (near CeatleSrook), and is a stone-eutter. He
bad a mule and cart in 1843, and has them still. He knew
Pat M who is now in America. Never knew his
mule and cart to have been used to carry &stone from Tinne-
hinch quarry to Magenta's house at any time. Neither
lAsgunis. nor Holten, nor Egan used witness's mule
and cart to his knowledge for the purpose of carrying
a stone. He had in his employ a lad of the Lame
of James Conroy [lt may be remembered that Holton and
Egan said a lad of that name drove the mule and cart with
the rough stone to Magentas's house, in MarchlB43], but he

did not,' to witness's knowledge, take • stone from the i
quarry in the mule cart; he was not in his employ at all in
1843, nor until October, three year' um. He had another
lad of the same name in his employ in June—five years
last June, to the:best of his recollection, and he remained only
six weeks. Where be is now witness did not know. He
was about fourteen years of age when he left. The other
James Conroy is about twenty years of age, and is hers as a
witness . Witness, in croseexamanation by the Attorney-
General and some of the lords, said he had heard in the
the oonntry that Pat Magennis had cut a stone for the
Tracys, but could not say when he heard that; it might be
this present year, but would not swear it was not four years
since he heard it.
James Conroy, examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee, said be
first went into Dunn's employ in 1845. Dunn kept • mule
and a cut. Witness knew Pat Msge.nnis, but n
took • stone to him. He last saw Magennis four years ago
He is since gone to America.—James Tully (who was stated I
by John Egan to Save 'misted him in quarrying the stone),
examined by Serjeant Shee, said he worked for Egan four
years in the quarry, and had some knowlege of Magennis. ,
Never was • stone raised in that quarry large enough to
make a tombstone. The largest he ever knew was not more
than four feet by two; they were used for hearthstones and
flags, and if at y larger was found they would cut it up for •
hearthstone or other purposes to their advantage, but be
never knew a large one to be taken op. He never knew the
lad, Conroy, to take away any stone in the mule cart.—
Cross-examined by the Attorney General: Witness said re
might, pallets, get stones four feet wide and four or five
long. He is now a farmer paying 11. a year rent for eight
acres of land. Neither he nor his wife were beggars, beg-
ging.from house to house. He did apply to the relief eom-
miesionen, who refused to relieve him because be had
a cow with the eight acres; he proved to their
satisfaction that the cow was not his own, but a
neighbour's, who lent her to him, and then the com-
missioners relieved him. He (witness) has the cow now
(their lordships laughed heartily); he got her entirely from
the neighbour fur labour, wh,ch he gave him for her. Wit.
ness in re-examination said—he is of the church of England,
attended church, but sot very regular. lie did not remember
any stones in the quarry more than two or two and a half
feet wide and four feet long.
John Magennis, examined by Sir F. Kelly, said he lives at
Longford, near Castltbrack, and is cousin in the fourth
degree to I'at Magenuis, who went to America three years
ago, last June. Witness said his two brothers bought all his
things for 91 , which they gave him the morning of his
departure. He took his wife end one child with him—his
other two children he left to the world, and his wife's bro-
ther took them, and has them. Magennis was a stone-
mason, but never cut letters on stones ; he could not cut
letters, nor (in answer to Lord Brougham) could Holton,
(Holton, it is said, has cut letters well on the stone, by order
of their to: dships, on the evening of the day he WIN exa-
mined). Holton left Magennis eight years ago, but
worked in the neighbourhood since ; he is not capable
of cutting letters on • stone. Thera was one room
besides a kitchen in Magennis's house, and there was a bed
in it. There was no fireplace ; there was a small window
with two panes . (The sash was here produced and witness
identified it.) There was no shutter to it. Magennis used
to work at atones in the quarry, and on a wet day in the
kitchen of his house, but never in the bedroom. Never saw
a table in the house but one poor thing in the kitchen to eat
their meals on, not strong enough to bear a tombstone to be
worked on it. (T.• understand the purport of this evidence
it is necessary to remember the evidence of Holton, on the
18th July.)—The witness, on crow-examination, said he is a
farmer paying 111. 10s. • year rent for half a farm of 30 acres
which he held jointly with his brother. Magennis was a
better band at stone-dressing than Holton. The size of the
bedroom was less than 12 feet by 71.
Thomas Duffy, examined by Sir F. Kelly, said—his sister
was the wile of P. Magennis. Distress made him go to
America, and nothing else. Witness has two of his children,
and has received letters from him, and al•o 51.,—half fir the
children, and half for his (Magennis's) sister. lie is in the
state of New York. (This witness described the house of
Magennis as the last witness did.)
John Keating, examined by Mr. Serjt. Shee, said he
knew Holton by his taking • room in his house between
Michaelmas and Christmas, 1846. Holton had then re-
turned from England and bought oats to sell at • profit.
He never spoke of having been employed to cut a stone for
the Tracys, but did speak of • stone that was to be cut.
He came to witness one night and said he would tell him
something, if he would promise not to mention it. [The
witness spoke very rapidly of • conversation with Holton,
the purport of which it was impossible to comprehend.]—
Troy, a stonemason, the last witness examined, gave nil
opinion that it was impossible to roll the stone into the
room of Magennis, as Holton described, and said it would
take six days for two men to cut all the letters that were on
the tomb stone produced to the house, even though each
worked at it 12 hours each day. (Holton in his evidence
said that he and Magennis cut all the letters in two nights.)
Troy also gave his opinion that it was impossible to break
the stone in five parts with one blow cf a sledge (as Holton
said).
Sir F. Kelly repeated that it was the claimant's intention to
bring Magennis from America to give direct contradiction to
the case made by Holton and Egan, and expressed a hope
that their lordahips would adjourn the matter till next

session.
Lord Brougham said (with warmth) he hoped that Ma-
gennis would be informed by thou who would bring him
that at present he appeared to be the principal in a crime in
which Holton, if his evidence was true, was less criminal,
as being only the asaistant, and therefore much less culpable
in fabncating a scandalous imposition on this house. The
evidence now given for the purpose of contradicting the evi.
dens of the fabrication was no contradiction at all.
The Lord Chancellor said he entirely agreed that the evi-
dence now received was not anything like a contradictions
There was, however, a serious imputation upon persons, and
he would recommend to their lordship. to give them an
opportunity of removing it, and with that view adjourn fur-
ther proceedings in this case till nest erasion.
Lord Campbell agreed in that course. He was satisfied
that there was no approach to *contradiction.
Lord Brougham repeated that the evidence of Holton was
not in the least shaken by the witnesses now examined.
The Lord Chancellor agreed that it was not, and the
matter was adjourned.
Tit■ Pacitton.—Three witnesses were exa-
mined in support of Mr Carnegie's claim to. this, * Scotch
peerage, and it was then adjourned to next Tuesday to which
time a report of it is reserved.
Battu' o. Paunte.—Their lordships did not give judg-
ment formally, but approved of a form oforder read by Mr.
Bothell in his reply, and um nted to, as we understood, by
Mr. J. Parker for the respondent —The decree was accord-
ingly reversed with a declaration.

EQUITY COURTS,
&for* Vioe-Chancellir Klught Bruce.

Re F TXX.—CUBTODY or 111111AXIII.—Thin was the petition
of three infants appearing by their grandmother and next
friend to have a guardian appointedran , on the ground of the
character and circumstances of the fatter rendering
him an improper person t., be intrusted with their custody.
According to the statements of the petition, and the affidavits
in support of it, the father, Mr. Robert Fynn, a member of
the Irrh bar, end a lieutenant in the 2nd Regiment of the
West York Militia, became first acquainted with hie wife,
then Miss Ainsworth, in the winter of 1842, she being then
resident in Brussels with her mother and sisters. Mr. Fynn
represented himself to be, as was .he fact, the son of a ro •
spectable merchant in Galway ; he also stated that hie father
made him an allowance of 3001. a year. lie described him-
self u late Chief Justice of Tobago, and used a seal with his
crest upon upon it, sad the words " Chief Justice of Tobago."
He further alleged (according to the statements in the
affidavits in support of the petition) that he had expectations
of being appointed Judge-Advocate at Malta, in confirmation
of which statement he showed a letter purporting to be writ
ten by Sir R. Peel. Upon these representations he was accepted
as the suitor of Miss Ainsworth, and, although Mrs. Ains-
worth, her mother, wrote to the defendant's lather, at Bel.
fut, making inquiries respecting his property, the marriage
was suffered to take place betore any answer was received.
A settlement was previously executed, securing 1,2001., part
of the wife's fortune, to her separate use. On the third day
after the wedding the father's answer arrived, from which it
appeared that the alleged statement respecting the allowance
was incorrect, the father stating that he made the respondent
a very small allowance, with the view of forcing him into
Labits of industry, and to give up folly and idleness, but that
he would, in consequence of his marriage, allow him 1001. a
year, and provide for him by his will, if his conduct merited
; but he stated his ignorance of his son's having any a -
pointment. It appeared that Mr. Fynn was ginned
in 1840 Chief Justice of Tobago, but had never
gone chore, being, ae he stated in his afbdavit,
obliged to resign the appointment shortly afterwards. Soon
after the marriage Mr. Fyne borrowed 500/, pasta his wife's
fortune to enable him to proceed to Malta—whence, how-
ever, he soon returned, stating that by the recent regula-
tions appointments were only given to the people of the
country. The petition and affidavits detailed at great length
the movements and circumstances of Mr. and Mrs. Fynn
after the marriage, and stated that they had resided first at
Brussee, then in various places in Ponce, afterwards in
England and Ireland ; from which latter country they came
to reside in London, and resided there down to the end of
November 1846, sneering occasionally, owing to the extrava-
gance and consequent difficulties of Mr. Fynn, severe priva-
tions. Mr.Fynn's father had died, having by his will given
Mrs. Fynn 601. a year, and to hia son, the presentreepondent,
601. a year, to be continued only so long as his conduct was sa-
tisfactory to the executors. At the end of the year 1846 Mrs.
lynx returned with the children of the marriage to Brus-
sels, where she lived with her mother, and where they were
shortly afterwards joined by Mr. Fynn, who, according to
the affidavits in rapport of the petition, stated th:s he had
obtained an appointment of 3601. a year as correspondent of
the Times at Turin, a statement that subsequent
inquiries proved to be incorrect, but which Mr.
• Fynn denied having made, except by mentioning
that he had an engagement ea an occasional contributor.
The affidavits in support of the petition stated that in July,
1847, Mr. Fynn suddenly left Brussels, taking with him his
two sons, then aged three years and a half and two years and
• a half, and having pawned or sold articles of plate, in order
• to enable him to do so. That on the 31st of December,
1847, Mr. Fynn wrote from Paris to his wife, saying that
i he had pawned his gold pin and the boys' spoons to get
bread; that on the following day he again wrote, saying,
t " I have a prison staring me hourly in the tuts ;my children
are without even their nightclothes, and have not a morsel
r to put into their months." That again en the next day he
wrote—" You say you cannot assist nu, and that I know it
• is false, pray why cannot you pawn your watch, dressing-
r case, or tabinet gown ? any wife with a particle of real love
i would do more than this fora husband." That in °oilie-
r queues of these representations Mrs Fran and her mother
t removed to Paris in January, 1848, when they discovered
I that Mr. Fria had resided in the spec* of am weeks at
eight or nine hotel', frequently incurring large bills, which
he we. unable to pay, .ad that be often left the
