ing, that no attempt would he snide to get rid of
the motion by moving the previous question.
Mr. BeoweLow spoke at some length against
the motion.
Mr. CHARLES GRANT said, he would not enter 1
into statements made. He hoped the House would
decide this question on higher grounds. No prin-
ciple was better understood than this, that a
Judge, in his judicial capacity, is not accountable
fin any involuntary error. He hoped there was no
utmon for departing from this principle. There
was not here the slightest imputation of partiality
of corruption—there wait not then the slightest
shadow fur such a charge. He ( %Ir. Grind) much
regretted, that his Hon. Frivol should have brought
forward this -motion. lie dial not mean to accuse
him of any improper motive, hut he thought the
high character of the Learned Judge should have
protected him from a charge for which there was no
foundation whatever.
Mr. Lesue Fos s'to opposed the motion at
some length. He said, that Parliament could not
entertain the motion; it would turn the House into
a Court of Appeal.
Mr. Arroenev.GettZaat said, that on principle
the motion could not be sustained—that from the
facts it was altogether unsupported. There was
nothing in the conduct of the Learned Judge that
could expose him to the suspicion of partiality or
corruption.
Mr. MARTIN rose to reply. He said that lie
heard with some attention the lion. Counsel for the
Commissioners (Mr. Foster) speak cm behalf of the

conduct of Baron McClelland vim corrupt. He ap-
plied the wvtis in the legal and proper sense of the
word. He might not have been corrupt fur money;
hut he acted oss the seat of justice from motives
of personal resentment. lie therefore charged Ba.
roe McClelland with corruption. and he would
prove the charge, if the papers he moved for should
be given. When these !papers should be granted,
he would then consider what course to take, wile.
then he would move for the dismissal of Baron
McClelland for weakness and iitcapacity, or whether
he should move that he be dismissed and censured
for corruption. As for the trausaction that took
place in Galway, lie would state it to the House.—
[Here the Honourable Gentleman entered into a
detail of that facts connected with a dispute he
had wills a Mr. Daly. which he described in so very
theatrical a monster as to keep the House in a
contitsueil roar of laughter.]—He complained that
