HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)

The honse met at five o'clock.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that, on a
former eveuing, in the course of his observations on the
administration of justice in Ireland, he referred, by way
of illustration, to certain cases which had been
tried by a learned judge in that country. It now
appeared that these observations had given some
pain to the learned judge who pronounced sen-
tence upon the prisoners. Nothing, however, was
further from his (the Marquis of Clanricarde's) intention
than to cast any blame upon that learned personage ;
and he stated the other night, and he repeated now, that
he had no doubt there were circumstances which did not
appear in the report of the trials which justified him
(the learned judge) in pronouncing the sentences he did.
He (the Marquis of Clanricarde) wished it to be dis-
tinctly understood that whatever remarks he made were
meant to apply, not to the learned judge, but to a gene-
ral course of proceeding which had taken place in Ireland
for several years.

Lord BROUGHAM said he listened with particular
attention to what passed on the occasion in question,
and he could state that the noble marquis cast no re-
flection whatever upon the learned judge.
Petitions against the closing of public houses were pre-
sented by the Earl of Derby, and by the Earl of Har-
rowby, from places in Essex, Bristol, and a place in
Corn wall.

NUISANCES REMOVAL AND DISEASES PRE-
VENTION ACT FURTHER AMENDMENT
BILL.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in mov;ng the recom•
mitment of this bill, entered into an explanation of its
provisions, but owing to the low tone in which he spoke
he was almost totally inaudible.

Lord BEA um oN T had received representations
from several parties who thought that the bill would in-
terfere with the common business of agriculture, but,
having looked at the machinery of the measure, he be-
lieved their apprehensions in that respect were ground-
less, as no works could be undertaken unless by the
order of a certain number of justices, before whom there
would be a full inquiry into the particular circumstances
of each case.

Lord REDESDALE said the bin was not carefully
drawn up, and was, in his opinion, open to many griev-
ous objections. _
