it. He had not an opportunity of delivering hia sacitimenta
upon the Bill during the evening, but he thought that 1:C :iris
.quite unreasonable in the Noble Lord to pass this Bill tb.root4l
three stages without any previous intimation. He expected P.
have seine exposition from the Hon.. Member with respect
the insurrection in Ireland, bet nothing of the sort was
at-
tempted.- A t the same time he was •quite _willing. to allow the
first, and indeed the re..,j important object, was to convince ins
deluded people of Ireliotd that, on every side of that House,
there was a determined spirit tp subdue, the •twil, • and that die,
only question. was, as to the applicability of the propaSed mea-
sures. There was another point upon which. he was, desirous.of saying a few words. The presenee of a King's Sergeant or
a King's Counsel was supposed to neutralise mischief, -114
the words'in the Act were—" if such can be procured"---ile•
should propose that a Barrister of ten years' standing should,
in the absence of such an officer, be entrusted with this. al"
thority. He hoped that the causes of those outrages would be
inquired into, for they could not but be regarded by,an
strong proofs of a misgovernment, which the House was bowl".
to inquire,into. He could by no means give his assent 4cr nat',4"
sures, which were in fact a total. subversion of the constitutnin
in Ireland. There was one particular part of that Bill,. whteh
left all redress for the most wanton act at the mercy of wee,
Judge, and another to that, he .could not
;give his support; '""
theindemnity clause respecting the Magistrates.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL apprehendedthat the tie'
cessity for stronger enactments than the• -existing laws in IM
land was not doubted by any Member of the Rouse. The only
question, theretbre, was whether those laws which hatl'heo
found effective on a former occasion should be enacted in order •
to repress the present evils. He thought that the House had
every ground, to induce them to enact them, not only from their
having been demanded by the Irish Governnient, but from the
melancholy admission made by the Irish Members,that.lrelan
'could not be reduced to a state of. tranquillity without th'nen---
The Insurrection Act had beenipassed before.; .it v.is Low re'
'garcled as necessary, and the Act for the suspension of Ha.!;,!•34
Corpus was merely annexed to it as a stron7 support to. the Al3'
gistrates in carrying the provisions of the former into etlect.--'
The technical-objections of his Hon. and Learned Friend OP'
posite did not seem to him to be ofany weight. . •
Mr. BROUGHAM said that it was rather a matter of con'
cern to find that even in the House of Ccremons while about to
enact the Bill, the clauses of it were so variously understood that
there were then various opinions respeetingetheir construction
held by thedifferent lawyers. It was, therefore, a matter rieNdr
to be deplored that such a Bill was about to be sanctioned. The
same difficulties and the same diversity of opinion had existed in
1807, when it had been before enacted, with regard'to.the clause
for the protection of the Magistrates. He could nut think that
it was necessary to enact it, as even the Attorney-General ad-
mitted that it would not be necessary in England, and of couric
not in Ireland.

The ATfORNEY-GENERA.I. explained. There were
specific acts passed for the protection of English Magistrates la
special cases.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, that not having read 3PNallr's
JuStice of the Peace, it could not be expected that he should has 4
been acquainted with the Irish laws ; but he thought that if the
Irish Magistrates had always acted .without protection, it was
strange that the laws of James I. and George It., which Pr;
tected the 3lagistrates in this country, had never been extended
to the Irish Magistrates.
Mr. 'BRIGHT argued at some length against several clauses
of the Bill.

The SOLICITOReGENERAL explained his view of the
Bill, which, he contended, was not to be regarded as containing
any obnoxious clauses.—The Bill was then read the third time.
Mr. S. RICE proposed a clause, to he annexed to the Bait
for the purpose of enabling the !King's Counsel, Serjeant at LaW,
or Assistant Barrister, to take bail.
• The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was of opinion that the
clause was unnecessary, inasmuch as the Session of Magistrates
Would be authorized to take bail.
Mr. DENMAN said, if that was the case, the enactment ef.
the clause Could prOduce no mischief., as it would be no more
than a few words Wanted. •
Mr. S. RICE supported the clause, which he considered" t/
be absolutely necessary for the ends of justice, as several Ver'
sons might he confined for weeks for no offence, without .
possibility of release, as the Court authorised by the Act watto
in all probability sit in future, as they had formerly done, rtt
from day to day, but from month to month. An unfit/Wale
inaidmight be confined for three months, while the means of
curing liberty was removed from within his reach, by the Court S
not sitting.
Mr. WM. SMITH stipporteil the clause, as „one wtiicli
might be useful without the possibility of being injurious.,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the clause an iii'.`necessary. The offence being merely a misdemeanour, ha
• could be taken by any Magistrate.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but the House did P 4
divide, as the clause was negatived without a division.
Mr. S. RICE proposed another clause respecting the esta-
bli
shment of a local Magistracy, under the 'tel.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY it, as tending
to establish a Magistracy for a temporary purpose.
