stead.

for New Ross, in the room of Mr. Charles Tottenham, who

ROYAL VICTORIA PATRIOTIC ASYLUM.
Mr. J. A. SMITH intimated that he intended to post-
pone the putting of the following question until the even-
ing of Monday next :—To ask the Under Secretary of
State for War whether his attention has been drawn
to the report of the Patriotic Fund, and the causes
of the resignation of the majority of the members of the
Ladies' Committee of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum,
appointed in January, 1862; also to notice the admis •
sion of the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis, that a
girl of sixteen years of age had been flogged in
that establishment, and further that the con-
duct of the officials who had committed this act was con-
doned by the executive committee; and to inquire what
steps had been taken to prevent the recurrence of such prac-
tices ?

Sir J. PAKINGTON said he was one of the commis-
sioners, and had this day attended a meeting. The com-
missioners were anxious to be afforded an opportunity at
the earliest possible moment of replying to the imputations
-which had been insinuated against the institution. Would
the hon. gentleman really bring forward his question on
Monday?

Mr. J. A. SMITH replied that he most certainly should,
and as early in the evening as the forms of the house would
permit.

PROSECUTION AGAINST THE REV. PATRICK

LAVELLE.

Mr. HENNESSY asked the Attorney-General for Ire-
land a question with reference to a threatened Government
prosecution against the Rev, Patrick Lavelle.
Mr. O'HAGAN replied that an information had been
tendered against the rev. gentleman, his brother and others
for riot, but as the magistrates differed with respect to the
mode of proceeding, a bill was sent up to the grand jury,
and found against the parties for riot. Shortly afterwards
the brother, Francis Lavelle, who was the chief offender,
died under very painful circumstances, by a fall from his
horse. Representations were made to him by the local au-
thorities to the effect that it would greatly tend to the ad-
vancement of good feeling in the district if the proceedings
were suspended, and he had felt it consistent with his duty
to recommend that these representations should be acceded
to. (Hear, hear.)
