THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1853

IRELAND.
Drsure, Dac. 22.
Mr. John O'Connell was yesterday declared duly
elected to represent the borough of Clonmel, no show
of opposition, as it was anticipated, having been made
by any party. The hon. gentleman, who was pro-
posed by the Very Rev. Dr. Burke, P.P. and
seconded by Alderman Hackett, J.P., declared pre-
vious to the formal announcement of his election by
the mayor that he had in no way adopted the opi-
nions or pledged himself to the policy of the Tenant
League deputation, and that any statement to that
effect made in the Dublin papers was unfounded.
The policy which he would pursue, and the only
principles which he would recognise, were those of
his father, the late Daniel O'ConnelL Various other
speeches were made, but the proceedings were at-
tended with no popular excitement.
The case of Dowling v. Lawler was resumed yes-
terday in the Exchequer Nisi Prior Court, when Mr.
Martley, Q.C., addressed the jury in an eloquent
speech for the defence. The learned counsel thus ex-
plained the circumstances of the case. He said,

.
The present issue was, to a certain extent, of a mercan-
tile character; but the transactions which took place at the
elections of Carlow, in July, 1852, were not very distinctly
or directly connected with the matter which the jury bad
to detertuine. It was important to consider that this was
not a simple action. It did net assume the shape of an or-
dinary mule as between plaintiff and defendant. The trans- I
actions out of which this inquiry arose took place in the
months of September and October, 1852. Edward
Dowling, who is entered in the record as plaintiff
in this issue, was arrested under an execution

issued on • judgment executed by bins for 7001., and which
execution was snacked fur the suns of 3501. Notwith-
standing that it was alleged that this arrest was for a ficti
tious debt, 1. stood beyond all controversy that the gentle-
man was arrested for • just debt. The jury were not
canc.l on directly or indirectly to try the circumstances of
that arrest, of whether it was a rightful er • wrongful
arrest. If it were • wrongful arrest Dowling bad his
remedy ; and he (counsel) had to say that be had taken
his remedy. The circumstances of the arrest were to be
made the subject of • substantial action, on which •jory
would Le euabled to give Dowling compensation it he
deserved it ; but this was not for the consideration of the

jury in the present case. lie would not say that, if the
liberty of the subject were violated by any one, whatever
were the demerits of the plaintiff, he was not entitled to
compensation ; but on that subject the jury neither could nor
ought to preouunce an opinion. If they were swayed by
the statements of the plaintiff's counsel, the jury would
be committing a monstrous injustice. He thought that all
candidates at an election either had or ought to have
not only that sort of conscience which Dean Swift speaks of
as having an expansive character, but also they *tight, end
perhaps they did, enter into a contested election very much
in the spirit of Fag in The Aiwa. It was unfair to pre-
occupy the minds of the jury by such a statement as that
made in the opening of the case, and bringing such wit-
Gems as Mr. Roe to tell them that he was engaged to carry
off the voters. Such things were always contemptible, aid
beyond all doubt such ea took place in every election.
Compel for the other side had endeavoured to throw up to
the jury-box all the disgusting proceedings of that election,
in order that the jury might be deceived, and visit their
disgust on the party who had come to ask their opinion on
transactions utterly unconnected with the real question.
At the election of Carlow Dowling was expected to play
a conspicuous part in favour of Mr. Sadleir. He, how-
ever, changed his opinion, as he had a perfect right to
do, but it was a suspicious circumstance, as up to the
month of May be had been a stanch friend of Sadleir'a,
he having given a dinner party for the purpose of advahciag
that election. Crotty was his intimato friend and bene-
factor, and he accommodated him with his name on a bill.

It was now put beyond all dsubt tbst this gentleman at the
time was indebted to the bank for 2501. on the bill on which

Crotty's name was; that be was otherwise indebted for
5001.. and that he owed other persons to a large amount;
and this was a quiniffitatien with which he entered into •
contested election. lie passed a bond to Crotty, and •
judgment was marked on it without any stay of execution
authorising the issue of it instanter. In the interval
between the entering of the judgment and the execution
being executed, a letter war written in reference to the
bill of exchange coming due, and eying a just right to
Dowling to sue for the amount. He admitted that the
execution was iseued before the bills were due, and Dow-
hog was discharged from arrest, not because there was
r.o debt—not because the transaction was a sham or a
fiction, but because the bills became due; and he was ar-
rested • second time. A considerable portion of -he ease
rested on the swearing of B. Dowling himself. The law
now allowed a party concerned to come forward to swear to
his own case. The old professors of the law were of opinion
that to allow • litigant party to sustain his own ease be his
own oath war contrary to sound morality. It pat • Ma's
COOPCitHea and integrity in too direct and coo dangerous •
conflict ; and out of tenderness to human consciences they
retused suitors an opportunity of yielding to that tempta-
tion. Of late )ears • different principle had been adopted,
and parti,ll were now plat forward for the court and jury to
determine from their conflicting statements as to their re-
spective rights. It was a dangerous experiment. Many
bad disapproved of it. When a pelts*. steno forward to
gain credit on his own oath in his own cause, be sbould
be shown to be clearly above all suspicion—his testi-
mony should be consistent with itself, and his sworn state-
ments should have probability. It was tho duty of the
jury in this and in every other case to scrutinise with
peculiar severity the testinsimy of those who come forward
es their own behalf. The unworn statement of Crotty, in
reference to his (Crotty's) offering Dowling, if be would
vote fur Sadleir, contrary to his conscience, to discharge
him from his liabilities, and give him a sum of 3001., was,
no doubt, an important circumstance. If the jury believed
that it was of the greatest importance to Dowling—if tney
disbelieved it, what became of his evidence ? He (counsel)
would show the jury that, whatever might have been Dow.
hog's merits m a patriot, or his skill in a contested election,
he was not to be credited. Dowling might be a patriot ;he
might be capable of resisting a bribe, but in this case be
could not he credited. If that were the case, what became
of the declamation of his counsel on the subject of purity ?
Dowling's bill became due, and he was arrested. The
real question to be tried was that the judgment obtained
in March, '52, was in force in September for the purpose of
compelling Dowling to pay the debt to any one. The Court
of Exchequer directed an inquiry, which he (counsel)
thought to bear bard upon the defendant. lie could not
state what Crotty swore on the motion before the Court of
Eachequer ; but he bad • right to sate that Crotty made an
affidavit resisting Dowling's application to be discharged.
The most important part of the 'tumour testimony of
Crotty is the arrangement made between him and Dowling
in reference to the judgment. As there was a difficulty in
this portion of the case, he (outsell called attention to what
D twling swore. At the time be gave the judgment he
owed to the bank nearly 1,000/. The whole of the case
depended oa the truth of his statement relative to himself
and Crotty. He said that he amnged with him that if
proceedings should be taken by the hank Crotty was, by
virtue of the agreenuat, to get into receipt of his (Dow-
ling's) ronts,and having got into receipt of them,he was by his
own funds, or by those rents, to pay the bank. On this pedal
there amid be no mistake. It was repeated over and OM
again. He swore that if the rents were to be given up,
the execution was not to be lined. The jury should re-
member that the case was brought upon them on the footing
that the judgment was given as collateral security for the
bills; and that as the bills were not due, the judgment
should not be enforced ; therefore, that the execution was
illegal. Compare that with the statement made by the
plaintiff—that the only purpose for which the bond wan
passed was to cover and protect his property from proceed-
logs by the bank, and to enable him to effect an advanta-
geous arrangement with his creditors.
Mr. John Sadleir, M.P., was then examined, and
his evidence and orow-examination occupied the
court for the remainder of the day.
John Sadleir examined by Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald—l am
the gentleman referred to in the first issue. I was • cud-
date for the borough of Callow in 1852. I know Mr. Ed-
ward Dowling. I was a shareholder of the Tipperary Joint
Stock Bank. I am not a director of it. I war a
director. Mr. Thaddeus O'Shea was i n no way under my
control or direction I never applied to Mr. Daniel Crotty
to put the bond in execution. I did not myself apply. nor
did any other party for me make the application. I did
nut authorise Mr. O'Shea or any one else to apply to Crotty
to give op the bond or give me control over it. I never
agreed to release Daniel Crotty from the two bills (1501.
and 2001.). I sever authorised any one to enter into any
such agreement. I do not know of any person on nay behalf '
professing to act on such an agreement with Daniel Crotty.
(Bond handed to witness). I bait in my possession before.
1 remember the day I got it. At the time I got it I was
on my way from Dublin to Carlow. My business to Dub-
ho had nothing to d• with the bond or the judgment en-
tered upon it. I remember on the occasioa of coming (ruin
Dublin to Carlow that I was met by Mr. Dempsey, Mr.
Crotty, and Mr. Ed. Lawler, and to the best of my recol-
lection I received this bond from either. 1 can't bring to
my recollection whether Daniel Crotty and Edward Lawler
joined me at the railway terminus, or went on the car on
which I was travelling from Mr. O'Shea's. The circum-
stance of whether they joined me at the station or got up
on tht way, has not impressed itself upon my recollection.
I had n seen the bond before it was given to me on
that day. Bt fore it was given to me I never made an ap-
pllcetioo fur it. I
iudirectly, to Mr. Crotty or any other person, that
I should he at liberty to use the bond for any
purpo)e. When the bond was given to me, a di-
rection was given to me as to what I should do
with it. I think the three gentlemen whom I have named
spoke to me on the subject. I think Mr. Denney said
to me it was the wish of Daniel Croety to put this bond in .
force against Dowling. Mr. Edward Lawler was the second
party to speak to me, end he spoke to me at the platform of
the railway station. He spoke to me to the effect that
' Daniel Crotty was anxious that execution should issue
' against Edward Dowling on foot of his bond debt, and he
bed to req ust that I should take charge of the paper, and I
have it entrusted to some Dublin attorney to put in force,
as he did not wish to employ any one in Carlow, lest it
should come to the ears of E !ward Dowling, who was
keeping out of the way. Dr. Crotty was conversing with
some people on the platform, but after I had got into the
railway carriage my recollection is that then for the first
time Daniel Crotty came no end said, " I hope
Mr. Sadleir you will tell Mr. Morrogh to attend to my bug-
nese, and have Dowling arrested." The train ass about to
move at the moment, and I merely replied that I would take

care that M r.Morrogh should attend to his business, or have it
attended to. I was not aware of the existence of the letter
of the 20th of Jane until some days after Mr. Dowling
was arrested. I merely heard of the letter. At the time
the bond wu given to me I had not heard of any of tl •
circumstances under which it was paned. When Leveler
spoke to me about putting the bond in force, I said, " I
presume the money is due," and Lawler assured me that 1
'it was. I went to Dublin. Lawler did not go up with me.
Before I got the bond I had not made any arrangements
with any of the gentlemen I have mentioned about it. I
was obliged at that period to go to Dublin frequently, and
it was my wish to go away from Carlow as quietly as pos-
sible. Lawler was not to follow me, and did ant do so.
No one stated upoa that occasion that Lawler was to come
to Dublin. I brought the bond to Dublin. I gave it to Mr.
*mesh as soon as I saw him after my arrival, with di-
rections in reference to it. I had nothing further to do
with the issuing of the execution or the arrest under it.
I saw Edward Lawler in Dublin that evening, between
eight and nine o'clock, to the best of my recollection.
I had arrived in town between lour and Ave o'clock. I did

not give any instructions to any one in reference to the
arrest beyond what I mid to Mr. Divrrogh. I have heard
Mr. Edward and Mr. Michael Corkoran named. Neither

of them was myaientTi 11.4 no instructions to either of
them in reference to the writ. I saw neither of them be-

fors the arrest, Mr. Edward Corkoran is a connexion of

Murrugh'e. ^
He is not. and was not, an agent of mine. I
I had nothing to do with the bills (3571., 1501., and 2001.).
did not even hear of the transaction till very recently. I
had nothing whatever to say to the second arrest, nor with
the issuing of the execution in Sept., 1852. I was in Csrlow
upon t'se nomination day. lam not aware of the a
Dowling having taken place is my presence. I did not
bring or send down the writs of elocution. I did not take

any part in the proceedings subsequently to my giving the
bond to Morrogh. I saw a person of the name of Malachi
Fitzpatrick. He was not employed by me, nor by any one
with my authority. It is very. hard for a candidate to—
(winnow was here stopped in his evidence)-1 was anxious
to add, in justice to Mr. Fitzpatrick—
Kr. Whiteside—l object to Mr. Sadleir's doing justice to
Mr. Fitzpatrick now. (A laugh.)
Witness-1 have no recollection of Mr. Roe being intro-
duced to me by Mr. Fitzpatrick, but so many were intro-
duced to me in Carlow 1 cannot undertake to say that he
was not amongst the number. Mr. Roe had no authority
ban me to act. He was not employed by me, or by any
person having authority from me, to remove a voter. lam
aware that a suit was instituted at the instance of Dowling
against Crotty on foot of this arrest. I did not, nor did
any other person with my authority, agree to indemnify
Mr. Crotty for that action. 1 did not agree to iodemuily
Mr. Crotty from the consequences of that arrest, nor did any
person on my behalf, or with my authority do so. I wish to
add, that I was even applied to on such 'subject. I
never stirred to indemnify Crotty from the consequences if
he placed the bond in my hand, nor did any one with my
direction or knowledge do so. I have two bills for 15d/.1
and 2001. before me. No one with my authority ever
agreed to release Mr. Crotty from these bills, or either of I
them; I never authorises Crotty to offer Dowling a sum
of money in consideration of his voting fur me. No one
upon my behalf or knowledge ever authorised Daniel
Crotty to make that otter. Mr. Lionised Morrogh is an
attorney ; but if you mean that he is a partner of mine, he
is not. He was not an agent of mine at the electi n. He
was not there at all, that I can recollect. He did not go to
Carlow after I gave him the hood. He did not do so to toy
knowledge. 10 my knowledge Mr. Morrogh had noth.og
to say to it after the execution of the writ. If lam to tell
Dry surmises Or conjectures, I will tell them.
Mr. Whiteside—Oh, we have our own surmises.
Cross examined by Mr. M'Donourth, am upon the
roll of attorneys, bat have not taken out my license. My
house is in Denmark street. Mr. Leonard Morrogh lives
there. He is my wound cousin. He has lived there 1
years. I think ten or twelve years. I know a clerk of the
name ofJohnson. I have heard that he was examined. He
was not in the employment of Sadleir and Morrogh. Ito was
never my clerk. I never paid him any money. I cannot say
whether any portion of my money has gene to him. Has
your money, or any part of it, gone towards defraying the
expenses of that establishment 2—lt has. When I ceased to
practice as an attorney I handed over" the goodwill" of the
establishment to Mr. Morrogh, and I hare from time to
time supplied him with money to assist him in his pro-
fession, nod I have no doubt the money has been applied
fur his professional purposes, and in paying every Saturday
evening Mr. Johnson and all the persons in Mr. blur-
rogh's employment. I think in 1849 I ceased to pay my
license. In 1847 I entered parliament. I think my license
was taken out in 1848 to carry on some law iroceedings
in m name. It was done without my knowledge,
y but I never repudiated the act. I don't know
whether it was done by Mr. Morrogh, but I make no
doubt It was. I will not swear that "a man does Limselt

what he does by another ;" I don't know that I ever heard
the maxim, but I understand the principle; I did not
authuri.e Mr. Morrogh to issue the execution; what I did
say to Morrogh was, "Daniel Crotty, who is an elector of
Carlow, and a great supporter of mine, has the bond, end
as I was coming to Dublin he han..ed it tome to request that
I would have you to attend to this business, soil he is
anxious that execution should be done upon the body of
Dowling, and that you should have him arrested. The
course for you to adopt is to place the matter in the
bands of an intelligent attorney, who will SZIOSill• the
roll and see if ha (Crotty) is entitled to issue execution
against Dowling. It will In necessary to issue two
executions—one to the Queen's County, the other to Car-
low, because part of the town of Carlow was in both coun-
ties." That was the substance what I said, pointing out to
him that it would be necessary that the judgment roll should
be inspected ; and I added that men frequently thought
themselves in a condition to issue execution—a right which
did nut exist either for a stay of execution or from a defea-
sane." 1 authorised the execution if it could be legally issued.
Dili you nut give boors an absolute answer I—Yes; I un-
derstood you to mean tbat I gave Mr. Morrogh absolute
directions without any conditions. I understood your ques-
tion to be absolute, unconditional authority. I directed
Mr. Morrogh to employ an intelligent attorney, as I have
told you. (Witness here said that another motive for
searching the roll was to ascertain if the judgment was not
a year old) It appeared that the examination of the judg-
ment roll was the first step to be taken. I did not point out
to Mr. Morrogh any specific inquiry. I can't say what day
of the week or month I told Mr. Morrogh to issue the two
executions. Mr. Pierce Power is not in my employment,
he is in Mr. Muriogh's employment. I have not been served
with a summons to produce my books. I knew a clerk
named Edward Wall. Ile was in Mr. Morrogh's employ-
ment in .852, and I presume he was paid by him. I receive
five per cent. for my capital invested in the establishment—
nothing more. I don't participate in the losses. Mr. Mor-
rogh pays the rent end taxes of the house. When I come
to Dublin I can stop in the house. I use it as I would
the house of a rele ire or any intimate friend. I don't
know where Mr. Morrogh now so. I left London on Se-
tiarday last. That was the last time I saw him. I met
him by appointment at the Reform Club. He was in Lon-
don, and so was I. He bad not come to London at my in-
s ann. I don't know where he is, bat I think it is very
likely that be is on his was to Dublin. 1 know a man
nand Rorke. He had been employed es my agent.
He ceased to be so about five years ago. I knew Mr.
Dowling in '47. He sustained me by his vote and We-
nn at that election. He was very active and useful. I
dea't•kuow that he had any Minna, over any vote but
kis own. Major Lsyard was my opponent at that election.
In 1852 I became aware that Mr. Dowling would not
support me. That was told to me. I can't say that it wee
Edward Lawler who told it to me. I can't say whether
Mr. Dempsey told it to me. It was told to me by several.
It became very generally understood a few days before the
election. I understood that he wrote a letter, and pub-
lished it in the Carlos Sentinel. I do not know that
Crotty and Lawler went to Dowling to solicit his vote.
Edward Corkoran was not my agent at the Queen's County
election, nor did he get money from me to disburse.
When I got the bond my opinion was that Mr. Dowling
would not vote fur me, but he never told me so.
week before it was generally supposed that Dowling
would not support me. When the bond was brought to
me I wit on my way from O'Shea's house to Dubin.
I stayed with Kr. O'Shea during the election. I was
acquainted with all the liberal party in Carlow Mr.
Dempsey was interested in the election. I believe that
every person in Csrlow was interested one way or the
other. I did not receive the bond as the attorney for
Crotty, but to employ an attorney far him. I was not
desirous to have Dowling arrested before the voting day.,
In saying this, I wish to convey to the jury that I have
no personal desire or feeling to have him or any other
man arrested, but I did feel, having keen desired by Crony
to have an attorney employed to prosecute his rights, that I
did not feel indifferent to the interests of Crotty. I did feel
interested for him, and anxious to have his legal rights en-
forced, and that he should obtain the 7001. which I firmly
believed was honestly due to him. I did not desire Vat he
should not be arrested till after the election—and as I can
eeive that the same question has been put to me in another
form, I wish to give the same answer that 1 before gave.
My desire was to obtain his legal rights—and I conceive that
if I, as a candidate, took steps to imprison au elector, and
praveut him from voting tiniest me, I might, in all proba-
bility,
nein a very strong feeling against me, and I think
very justly so; I think the effect of the arrest might have
been to prevent him from voting, but I am not quite sure of
this. I thought that a voter taught have some privilege to
enable him to vote, though arrested. I believe the execu-
tions were issued to arrest him upon the earliest opportu-
nity, and that the greatest chance Crotty had of obtaining
his debt was that the arrest should take place before the
nomination day. I believe, if he bad not been arrested
before the polling day, he would have been arrested after
he had voted. I believe that the parrot which Daniel
Crotty had was to obtain payment of his debt ; and that, in
the event of his not obtaining it, he should remain in gaol.
1 have told you what Daniel Crotty's purpose was, and
my purpose was the same. Ile bad acted in a very
friendly manner to me, and I did think that if he
(Dowling) were arrested the debt would be paid.
1 did not wish to prevent Edward Dowling from
voting by any illegal or improper muse. It was my
wish to prevent him from voting for me by legal means,
and that was my wish .in reference to every voter in the
town of Csrlow who I did not think would vote for me. It
was my wish to prevent Edward listing from recon'ing
his vote by every proper means, because from what bad
been stated to me I bad reason to suppose that be in-
tended to vote against me. I have already stated that I
took means to procure his arrest. The legal means I
speak of were not taken to prevent his voting at the
electien, and I request you to receive the answer with
the same explanations that I have already given to
the same question. 1 did not know that the :ills were
in the Dank at the time. I had no knowledge
of any of the circumstances connected with the bon
further than what I have already told you—namely.
that I believed firmly that 7001. were due. I had

heard that Dowling had passed his bond to Crotty for the
penal sum of 1,400/., on which 7001. was due. I thick
O'Shea told me this. I can't say this was told after I un-
derstood that Dowling would not support me. I think it
was • few days before the nomination day I was led to be-
lieve that Dowling would vote against me. I would not
undertake to soy that I heard shout the bond before
O'Shea stated to me the fact of Coo ty having Dowling's
bond. I think he said that Daniel C.otty was very in-
dignant at the idea of Dowling's going against me, that
he had a bond molest hint (Dowling), and was very
likely to enforce his debt. I do not recollect any
communication about the bond from the time that ,
O'Shea spoke about it till I got it in Carlow. I think
It very likely if • candidate had ted a person to pre-
vent him from exercising his vote, the HOW! of Commons
would resent it at • breach of their privilege. When I gave
the direction to Mr. Morrogh, I Emily believed that the
sum of 7001. was due to Mr. Crotty. I heard of the motion
before Judge Crampton. Mr. Mulhall conducted the elec.
non fur me. I did not know that it was Mulhall who, on
the 12th of July, placed the writ iii the hands of the Sheriff.
Was in Galway when I received a eso.muoieation to say
that a motion had been made before Judge Crampton, that
my name was mentioned, and that Judge Crampton stated
that he could not hear any explanation or affidavit from me.
That he had nothing to say to me. My attention was called
to the Dublin papers. I don't remember having declared
at the last election for Carlow (1633), that 1 had
taken no part and done no act in the arrest of
Dowling, but I would not have had any hesitation in saying
so, and I say so now. I would have had no hesitation
to declaring on my honour as • gentlemen that I had no
part in the arrest of Dowling. I had no hing to conceal.
I think it was from Mr. O'Shea I found that the bills had
not reached maturity. It might have been front Mr.
Vigor.. lam not aware that my money went to pay the
costs of Thomas Mulhall. You call that my money which
I give to Mr. Murrogh. 1 did not directly pay Mr. Mulhall
any money. I don't know who paid Mulhall. Iwi l not
swear anything about the application of the moat), which
I give to Mr. Morrogb. Crotty did not give me say
money to bar execution upon the bond. In giving the
bond to Mr. Morrogh I told him to haze the matter taken
up by some attorney, who would see that the wishes of
Mr. Crotty were carried out. lie (Crotty) expressed
• wish that Mr. Morrogh should attend to the business.
lie was really maims about it. I did employ Mr. Morrogh,
bat in the manner in which I have stated. I did not
know that the certificate and the execution were filled up
is the house id Denmark-street. I have already said that
when I put the matter into the hands of Mr. Morrogh I
had done with the transaction. 1 never tried to get
Dowling out of gaol. I would not do it. I would think
that to arrest a man who did not owe a farthing of
7001. would be • very immoral act, provided it were
done knowingly ; and I did not interfere in the dis-
charge of Dowling for fear it might be supposed that I
wished toshrink from any responsibility, or shrink any con-
sequences. If it were not for that I would have been very
glad to have interfered, and would have done it from •
recollection of the manner in which he supported me
at the former election. I had a grateful recollection of '
his former services, as I have towards every man who
supported me. I had a feeling of gratitude towards
Dawliag when I handed the bond to Murrogh. I don't
think it was • deep feeling of gratitude, but I had a
grateful recollection of the interest which Mr. Dowling
had evinced in my favour at the election of 1847, and if
a legitimate opportunity presented itself, I would have
shown that I was nut forgetful of his services in 1647. 1
know that Crotty is dead. An action has beta brought
against me to get damages for an illegal arrest, but I don't
know that it is for 'conspiracy.
Ts Mr. Fitzgerald—Mr. Morrogh and I returned to Dub-
lid to attend the trial on Wednesday last. I returned to
London on the same day, and Mr. Morrogh returned in
some few days afterwards.
The Court was, at half-past six o'clock, adjourned to this
(Thursday) morning.
