regulate the responsibility of carolers of gold. silver,
jewels, Are.
Mr. IliltlurHT said the bill was of great importance,
and he trusted that it would experience the greatest at.
tention. The object of Buell bills, and the regulation of
the office keepers, were calculated to confuse parties;
and as to the reqiiired seciai:ty, the old common law gave
it, and that was the best security. He should oppose the
motion.—(Hear.)
The gallery was nearly cleared for a division.—Mr. T.
Wilson then withdrew his motion.

Sir J. NEWPORT moved for leave to make legal the
tender Of receipts of Grand Juries, Ireland, On account
of tents. Ile hoped that the hill would be allowed to be
brought in, to show that the Ituuse were anxious to see if
relief could not be afforded, . .

Colonel POSTER said, if this bill were agreed to, it
would go to the complete dr struction of the credit of the
landloid. He trusted 11141 the principle. would nut receive
the sanction of the house. He felt himself bound thus to
come forward in %indication of the Grand Juries, and to
resist the option that the landlords of Ireland were the
oppreasorti of their tenants.
Mr. 11. {MARTIN weak' not oppose the motion, but lie
thought such a bill ought to be sanctioned very cautiously.
The bill, it was true, was prospective; but he feared that
the bill would produce ill will between the landlords and
tenants without etlectim; any lasting relief. If the prin-
ciple wens a gaud one, there wee nothing to regent the
teenier from rowing to any agreement on the subject.
Mr. DA,WeON did not wish to say any thing respecting the
Sill now, but he hoped that opposition to the Rill would be

sspecially after what he had seen recent grand juries approve
He mentioned one instance (the grand jury of Tipperary, we
believe). that voted to a public officer; that was not the
Lest way of using the public money.
Col. FOSTER did not wish to press his opinion so far as to
prevent the bill from being brought in.
Lord LONDONDERRY thought advantage must result
from the discussion of the question raised by the Right Hon.
Baronet • at the same time be partook largely of the sentiinents
egpresseil by im lion. member near him (tlr. Foster.) He did
not think that the grand juries of frolond were tapJsed to tee
degree of distrust that some imagined.
Sir J, Ng w voirr did not wish to hurry the measure without
its being fairly considered. If the ay stein were in a sound con-
dition, could any clerk of the peace receive 10001. ? (on bringing
in this bill, he should desire to have it printed, and leave it in
that state to be con:Meted, Motion agreed to.
