—the grow amount in January reaching the maximum of
2,885. He begged to state that it was no bill of indictment
he was about to bring forward against the people of Ireland.
He would not use the language imputed to others by the
hon. member for Cork, whea he observed that the whole
country had been described u a country of assassins—a
description which any one at all acquainted with the affairs
of Ireland must know to be wholly unfounded. There were,
no doubt, districts in Ireland in which crime. might be
said to have been concentrated—in which, during the lan
few years, the records of crime had been of a peculiar cha-
racter, and the crimes themselves of a most fearful and
appalling nature. He more particularly alluded to the re-
ports of secret assassinations, which were apparently
the result of secret conspiracies against the rights of
property, whether that property was held by the
smallest class of farmers, or by individuals to the extent
of 6,000 acres—secret conepiracres by which men who had
acted in the moat exemplary manner were doomed to be
brutally murdered, and which consequently spread '.error
and dismay through the districts in which they existed. He
was sore that the constituencies of hon. members represent-
ing Ireland, and whose character was engaged set those
charges to which he alluded as having been made in igno-
rance, would not refuse to come forward and aid the
government in their intended eadeavonr to avert the hand
of the assassin, and to afford that protection to the lives of
the peaceable, orderly, and well-disposed subjects of her
Majesty which they had a right to expect from the govern-
ment of the nation. (Hear, hear.) He wished.particularly
to observe that the crimes to which he adverted had not
developed themselves in those parts of Ireland's which dis-
tress was still severe. As had been stated by It ill hon. friend
the Secretary for Ireland, on the Mit night of
the session, the more honourable members examined
the more they would see that there was not the shadow of a
pretext—of course there was no excuse fir such crimes
under any circumstances—but that there was not a shadow
of pretext that the perpetrators of those crimes had been
' driven to commit them in a fit of desperation produced by
' poverty or want. On the contrary, those crimes were cons-
' miffed in districts where there was sulboient money to pay
the rents, but committed with a view of deterring the pro-

be me by the allegation on the part of some hon. gentle-
, ems that the measure which the government were going to
' pregmo as a remedy against that state ef things was nothing
men than the old and regular expedient of coercion, while
they left the evils of the country untouched and made
as effort to ascertain their cause. (Hear.) He would say
to the hon. gentleman oppaaite, who cheered that remark,
tad If, upon hearing the measure explained, be could net
eingesterise it either as a needless or harsh measure of nom-
elem—if he should admit that it was only a jest measure of
sly bdissuffea, only for the powers essential to enable
