THE CASE OE MR. JAMES SADLEIR.

Mr. MooRE inquired whether Mr. James Sadleir had
been permitted to leave Ireland without being arrested,
and whether any steps had been taken for his arrest and
prosecution. In explanation to his question the hon.
member referred to the statement made on a former
evening by the Attorney-general for Ireland that in con-
sPquence of the remarks of the Master of the Rolls, to the•
effect that the crown officers bad been neglecting their
duty in refraining from instituting proceedings against
Mr. Jas. Sadleir, he went to Ireland and took the neces-
sary steps to put the law in force, and he (Mr. Moore]
wished now to know what were the steps that had been=
taken.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland recapitulated the
circumstances of the case, and repeated the explanations
given by him on Friday night last. He refrained from
stating the precise steps that had been taken, but declared
that every exertion had been made, and warrants had been
issued for the apprehension of Mr. Sadleir. These were
taken before Friday last. The question put, he said,
implied a connivance on the part of the Government iii.
the escape • of Mr. Sadleir, and this he emphatically
denied, adding that from the earliest moment he, as the-
responsible officer of the Crown, had done everything'
in his power to prevent Mr. Sadleir leaving Ireland, even
before he was able to issue warrants for his apprehension.
Mr. Sadleir had not quitted the country up to the 17th or
18th of June, and if he had since escaped, it was to be
attributed to the irregular observations of the Master of
the Rolls.

THE ARTIC SHIP RESOLUTE.
In answer to Mr. W. Brown.
77'1 Sir CHARLES lirooo said that her Majesty's ship

Resolute, which was abandoned three years ago in the:
Artie Regions, Chad been fallen in with an American
whaler, and taken to New York, and the American
Government had announced the recovery would be re-

claimed ;by the British Government. The reply of the
British Government was, that as the vessel had drifted

many thousands of miles from the spot where she was
abandoned by Captain Kellett, they would not claim her,
and she was now, therefore, the property of America.
