THE CASE OF MR. HARMAN.

Mr O. C. LEWIS—Sir. ou • former egg I mule reference
to the case of Mr. King Herman, whim wee oonviete.l by Mr.
Arnold, the po'ice magistrate, and whose senteuee received
some mitigation. I stated that a mood information bawd
by the police had been laid wits Mr. Harman at the sug-
ges.ion of the police-maxia.nitts sad that it would not have
Wen laid by the pollee if they had bees left to the exercise
of their own discretion. Yr. Arnold has made a com-
munication to me on the sulilect, and be state@ that
no intimation of the !illegal reluctence of the police
to lay that information bol been made to him. I think it
right that the house should he made aware of that fact. A
report which has been mole to Sir A. Mayne by the chief
piths Metropolitan Police is to this effect. It la dated cus
the 11th June :—" With reference to the case of umiak
pwvvrnsly imported, I beg to state that on Tuesday, the sth
iinneettasaat a report of Inspector Humphries was handed
to me, 'Latins that it was the opinion of the
magistrate that a warrant should be taken mot
for the smolt upon the police. Accordingly, I gave
inetruetious to go to the police magistrate to get a warrant,
which was shire. At that time no steps had bcel taken
beyond the execution of the warrant for the assault upon
Mr. Adams." That report shows that the police did net
initiate the second information, but that fact was not made
known to the magistrate himself.
THE DERRYVEAGH EVICTIONS.
On the motion that the house go into committee el
_

iir: V. sc LL Y moved that an humble address be pro-
sated to her Majesty, representing that Mr. John Claris
Adair, use of the maims of the peace for the county of
Doseigal, has neatly ejected all the inhabitants from a
tract of land in that county under circumstances which sp.
pear to this house to affect seriously the general pace sad
well-beMg of the district ; and prsyiug that she may be
graciously pleased to direct as inquiry, with a view to coa-
sider whether it is Intim that Mr. Adair shall continue to
hold bee Majesty's commission. He said he hoped this
motion would nut be decided wart him on the ground
that the house had Do authority to deal with the question.
He (the boo. gentleman) was not particulerly wedded to
the particular fans of his motion ; but be considered that
be had drawn it is the mildest form. He should be de-
lOW to !ad Mr. Adair proved worthy to hold the cons-
maim et the pesos. He (the hon. gentleman) should err-
tainly desire an iovestisation if he were placed in such •
patios. He trusted that Mr. Adair would confess that he
bed doss wrcis: ; for be bad known many gentlemen
sequins far more praise and alit by frankly confeeniou an
riot, than they would ever have obtained if they had never
asianitted such a fault. But, however that might be, if
Mr. Adair would not admit that he was wrong, let him jus-
tify hie sctii. The boa. gentlemen concluded by moving his
readatioe.

Mr. HENNISSY seconded it. Prim& facie, • groat act I
of inhomarmy bad b-en eomtnitted-244 per-ors, including
MU children, had been tr-aed out of their homes upon a
Weak mountain side, sod he comidered that the conduct of
Mr. Adair was discreditable to the landlord clue of which ' I
he was a member. (Hear.)
Mr. COOLLY urged that in bringing forward this sob.
jcet the honorsable moldier had omitted the main fact,
and that was the existence in the district of as extensive
system of ribleoism, which was the origin of numerous , ,
crimes in that county. it was with this state of crime that I
the evictions su qumtioo were connected, tho pommy evicted
being, as Mr. Adair belies, .1, implicated in the murder of .
his steward. He contended that Undlorcla were hound to
i do all is their power to put an sod to the fealty' stets of
Skimp which prevailed is Doueml.
Mr. BUTT said if Mr. C000ll)'s speech meant anything
it meant that where wino and outrage prevailed io •
district, it was the duty of landlords to take the same
mime as that of Mr. Adair, and to make wholesale evic-
t...es of their tenants. He questioseed sad argued against
the statements of Mr. Cooolly as to the state of the dis-
trict es the euthosity of pessimist of character and station
is the weighbovehnial ; is fort he denounced those state-
Melds as • put.. fiction. The subject, looking at the two

Ye. LONCWIELD seal that the last patina he should
have uxpeeted to have mods a motion nu the subject of
irrietions of tenaata in helots' was the boa. member who
bed initiated the present discussion. He proceeded to sup-
port the assertions awl arguments of Mr. Conolly is regent
to the @tato of the district in which these evictions had
taken place.
The debate was continued by Mr. INfithon, Captain
Jervis, and Mr. Maguire.
Mr. CARDWELL said that this was a moat paw* ful stab-
ile* and that the house., is considering it, had some ques-
tions of tie gravest consuderatiou before it. But the frets of
