GALWAY ELECTION

Lord 1101 f ICK observed, that in consequence of
a return for the Courkty of Galway, or rather some
thing described as a return, for that County,,he-felt
it his" duty to bring the.. subjea before the. House.
The Sheriff of Galway had thought proper to return,
in compliance with the exigency of the Writ, mere-
ly that the "We&ion w's not concluded,and that he
should keep it open until all the Electors in the
County should be polled, This mode of proceeding
silo Noble- Lord conceived the House must feel to
be as highly. irregular as the return to be unsatis-
factory, and of course it required investigation. He
there fore m: wed, that the Deputy Cleric cf the
Crown should appear at the Bar to-morrow, with
the last return'for the County of Galway, and when
this return should be laid on table, the Noble
Lora. stated it to be his intention to move on an
c:rly clay, that the subjea should be taken into fur-
ther consideration, and that the Sheriff of Galway
should be called to the, Bar.

Mr. CORRY took occasion to observe, that there
was no law in Ireland as in this Cotintry to limit
the continuance of ele6tions in , any other resped‘
than that prescribed by .the exigency of the Writ,
slid that the ease alluded to by the Noble Lora Was
not without precedent in that Country. He remem-
klered an instance where a Returning Officer had
spade a special return of the same nature ; and pos-
sibly the Sheriff- of Galway might have aced upon
the,same precedent. Upon this point,- however,'he
could not venture to speak with precision, as he
was wholly unacquainted with the circumstances of
tl.e Galwav,Eledion but he thought it -necessary
for the inibtmation of the Noble Lord and for the
animadversion of the House to state the precedent
to which he had alluded,

Lord HPIVICK said, be was aware of the fa&
stated by his Ri;ht Honourable Friend who had just
z: it flown, that the :aw for limiting the duration of
-Eit-ction in, this Country did not exist in Ireland,
and suggest.ed, for the consideration of the 1-mouse,
veilether it would not be proper to extend the law
upon this s9.bjea to that part of the United King-
dote. With revird to the 'precedent alluded to by
his Honourable Friend, he should be sorry to pre-
clude the Sheriff of the County of Gidway from,
p;;:ad:ng the sanaion a-any precedent or usage
tb:A prevailed in Ireland upon 'this subjea. But
yet he was rather disinclined
,to think that any such
precedent or usage coLild vindicate the Return com-
plained of, because the ditliculties which were stated
to have led to the Return could have been easily
gn.lrcied against by a proper exercise of the discie-
tion vested in fbe Sheriff by law.

The Motion was agreed to; and Lord -HOWICK
~tated, that he would tix upon to-morrow fortnight
for the farther consideration of this case, es within
that time all the proceedings would most, probably
at an end, and the Sheriff of Galway would be
conveniently enabled to attend the House.
Lord HowicK gave notice, that he would to-mar-
row move that the House should, at its rising, ad-
journ till Monday.
Adjourned.
