London, England, 1831-08-26 00:00:00

hand a statement signed by forty magistrates, and by othr
gentlemen of the county of Wexford, in which they re
ferred to the resolutions agreed to at a public meeting it
'exford on the 30th July, and they declared their °Pink'
that the maintenance of the yeomanry force was essentia
to prevent insurrection in that county ; he, (Alt.. M awe)]
agreed with that declaration, and was confident that any at
tempt to disban i that force would be attended with grew'
disturbance, and would eventually lead to the separation o
the two countries. As to the Newtownbarry affair, fruit
what had been stated on a former evening by the Hon.
Member for Wexford (Mr. Lambert), he had written t.
that place, and he would now state to the House the re-
sult of his inquiries. The Hon. Member had stated tha,
the yeomanry of Iceland were not to be intrusted will
arms, and instanced one case of two persons who voter
for him having been shot by that force, and of the yeo-
manry firing shots over the chapel of Newtonbarry during
the celebration of mass for the souls of the deceased per-
sons, and he concluded by asking, if such things had (re-
curred in England, whether they would not have a..ouser
the indignation of the people ? His (Mr. Maxwell's) re
ply was they would ; but it so happened that these thing-
did not occur at Newtownbarry.—(Hear, hear.) He had
in his hand (which he could read if the House required it)
the affidavits of eleven most respectable persons, with every
one of whom he was acquainted, and could speak of their
respectability. They stated that they were close to the
chapel at Newtownbarry on the occasion alluded to, and
that they heard no shots fired. Besides these persons,
Lieut. James S. Johnson, cotnininding a detachment or
the King's Dragoon Guards at Newtownbarry, deposed to
the likeeffect.—( Hear.) He now trusted that the House
would see that the Hun. Member (Mr. Lambert) had
been grossly misinformed of the 'acts. Respecting the
two persons said to have been killed, if the Hon. Member
would supply him with their names, he would no doubt
soon be able to give as direct a contradiction upon that
point as he had upon the others. The Honourable Mem-
ber concluded by moving an address to his Majesty, pray-
ing that there be laid before the House a copy of the report
of Brigade Major Bush, made at the desire of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, upon as enquiry into the alleged
firing over the chapel of Newtownbarry by the yeomanry
Mr. O'CONNELL regretted, that although seventeen
persons lost their lives at Newtownbarry, and many others
wounded, he had heard no regret for so much horrid waste
of life.—(Hear.) It really seemed a thing of mere ordi-
nary occurrence to talk of it, and yet not to show one
spark of feeling or pity that there had been such an un-
necessary waste of human blood.—(Hear.) The Lord
Lieutenant had declared to the Magistrates, that the yeo-
manry of Newtownbarry had been unnecessarily called out,

and yet there had been no retributive justice.—(Hear.)

gistrates ? Was not Newtownbarry one of the most
peaceable districts in Ireland before this occurrence? and
yet these Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Alagistraies declare
the yeomanry necessary to preserve the public peace. Who
were the Grand Jury ? Why the brothers and relatives of
these Magistrates.—(Hear.) They were now asserting
what they knew to 'ae unfounded and false. If the Go.
vernment, however, wanted to preserve peace in Ire-
land, and to keep the people from a state of madness,
let them take the arms from these low Protestants,
for it was not denied that they were low characters.—
It was high time for the Irish Government to act. Did
they not perceive, in every one of their movements, that
the party to which they clung were endeavouring to de-
ceive and to defeat them ? They had been endeavouring to
get into the tiaer's den to sooth it, but the say..ge inmate had
turned upon them. Where were the people to look for justice
so long as the Magistrates countenanced Orange privets-
sions. The truth was that party spirit was an exotic in
Ireland : it had thriven hitherto as a deadly night-shade,
that had poisoned the country with its pestiferous influence,
because it hail been fostered in the hot-bed of Govern-
ment favcur. The period was come when that exotic
should have no such protection ; why should the magis-
trates give their countenance to Orange processions ? Let
the Government only dismiss in any one Orange county
one or two of the magistrates from the Commission,
and the evil would soon be mitigated ; the remaining
cues would be quite tame and submissive. It was
time for the Government to take some determined step;
they could not serve God and Mammon ; they could not
serve the people while they kept alive the party spirit of
an Orange yeomanry, which hated the Government, if
possible. worse than it did the people of Ireland, whom
they wished to keep in subjection.
Mr. STANLEY hoped the House would not be led
away into the discussion of disagreeable topics, which the
more they were avoided the better chance there was of
subduing party animosities, by the very violent, uncalled
for, and unjustifiable speech of the Hon. and Learned
Member fur Kerry. It had been well if that Hon. and
Learned Gentleman had imitated the moderation and good
temper of the Hon. Gentleman who presented this peti-
tion, who, being a Wexford man, and immediately con-
nected with the subject of the above petition, had in
trodueed a matter in which his own feelings might have
been fai ly excited, and yet he had abstained from one
single expression in all he had said that was in the slightest

town the fairness and candour to

however, endeavoured to rake up every possible ground
of party enmity—of that enmity which he professed
himself so anxious to subdue and extinguish, Ile (Mr.
Stanley) most be allowed to say, that such was riot the
manner in which that party spirit could be allayed or ex-
terminated; and whatever might be the professions of the
Hon, and Learned Gentleman, it was not the best calcu-
hated to assist the Government in steering a course which
they were most anxious to steer, separate from, and in-
dependent of any party spirit whatever.--(ilear, hear.)
Nothing could have so pernicious an effect on these ehjects
as the violence and intemperance of language with which
the lion. and Learned Gentleman had treated this sub-
ject. The best aay (as suggested by the Hon. Member
for Wexford) was, that what had gone by should be, if
possible, wholly obliterated from their recollection, and to
look to the future for a remedy. The Hon. and Learned
Member for Kerry had thrown great discredit upon the
statement made respecting the celebration of the Masa.
(Hear, hear.) On lie occasion of the interment of
--
the unfortunate individuals who had fallen at New-
townbarry. Now,
T he (Mr. Stanley) had in his hand a
document w;.ich would set that point at rest, in
which from the testimony of Mr. Walsh the priest
who had celebrated that mass, it appeared that no
disturbance had taken place, nor had the slightest inter
ruption been
offered on that day, or en any day since,
by the yeomanry of the county.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
With regard to the general question, the subject matter of
the petition, the house was aware tai it his Alaje;ty's
Government was particularly anxious ho adopt some
measure for pl 'clog the irisli yeomanry force on a less
objectionable footing than it now occupied in some
districts of Iceland. They knew too the difficulties
with which the question was surrounded, and
he could only say, that while the Government
were not prepared, for the fault of a few
individuals, to
pass a sweeping sentence of t:ondemnation on so large and
;-i-cany instances so respectable a body, while they were
not prepared to disband the yeomanry of Ireland, let a

—( Hear, Lear.) He hoped the Secretary fur Ireland I
would furnish the House with ample details of the dread- T
rill affair at .Newtownbarry, and he should feel much l
disappointed if that account did not acquit the yeomanry I
of what the Hon. Member had designated a massacre.
With respect to the yeomanry generally in Ireland, be
begged of the House not to join in those unmerited '
designations against that useful body, which had been so
lavishly indulged inky the Member for Kerry, or those con •
posing the cabal to which he had referred.
Mr. GRATTAN rose to order. If the Hon. Member
opposite design rated those who were acting with him as a
cabal, he had no hesitation of telling him he was stating
that which was false.
The SPEAKER trusted the Hon. Member would re-
frain limn using language that was highly unparliamentary.
Mr. DAWSON considered the speech of the Hon.
Member (Mr. Grattan) one of the most extraordinary he
had ever heard. That Hon. Member had not only bearded
a Member of his Majesty's Goverranent in private
but even in that House—(Hear)—notwithatanding what
such as ought not to he countenanced by the House, or by
any Member of Parliament._(Hear, hear.) He knew
from the cheer of the lion. Member behind him, (Mr.
O'Connell) that the object he had in view was the separation
of Ireland from England; but he would tell thdt Hon.
Member the people of Ireland did not trust him ; they had
not joined him, nor would they join him, in that work,
unless the Government of the coutitay lent their aid by die.
banding the yeomanry. They would not join him in the at-
tempt to do that, which he called an unconstitu-
tional object. But the moment Government disbanded the
yeomanry, which he knew they had too much good sense to do,
they would throw Ireland into the arms of its enemies. rfhe
moment the yeomanry were disarmed, the Protestants of
the country would arm themselves at their own expence:
Thousands of men had told him within the last few days-
that the signal for disarming the yeomanry would be the
signal for arming themselves. He bad no hesitation in
saying that there was no part of the empire enjoyed
more tranquillity or showed more respect to Government
than time North of Ireland, and to prove that he would
read the address of Mr. Justice Jebb to the Grand Jury of
Kerry. The Hon. Member for Kerry had stated on former
occasion he (Mr. Dawson) had made complaints of the Ma-
gistracy of Ireland, and with his usual ingenuity endeavoured
to make it appear that those complaint had originated eu-
tirely and exclusively with the yeomanry. lA'hat he re-
ferred to was, the quarrel that had taken place between
the Orangemen and the Protestants, subjects totally un-
connected with the establishment of the yeomanry crops.
He trusted that time more the subject of the yeomanry of
Ireland was discussed, the more gentlemen jrona time north
of Ireland would stand up in their places and contradict the
aspersions cast on them by the Hon. Member for Kerry,
Mr. GRATTAN thought that the hGovernmenment
did not wed the advice of the Honourable /Wernher
who had just sat down. But time purpose for which he rose
was to repel the attack made on several Members of that
House. If the Hon. Member meant to apply the word
cabal to those with whom he (Mr. Grattan) was assciateJ,
he would tell him he was uttering a direct falsehood.
The SPEAKER had great hopes that what he had pre-
viously stated to the Hon. Member would have induced
him to repent the expression be had naw made use of. It
was quite disorderly, totally unpatliamentary, and he
begged him to reconsider it.
Mr. GRATTANS only wish was to refute time charges
made against him, This only object which his
friends and himself had in view in forming what
had been designated a cabal, was the pacifi-
cation of Ireland, which lie for one, considered
would be best effected by the gradual reduction of
the Irish yeomanry. He conaideied the attack of the
yeomanry on the unfortunate individuals at Newtown-
berry a shame and disgaace to them.
Captain GORDON should have thought it hid duty to
comply with the recommendations of the Right Hon. Se-
cretary for Ireland, if they had not been accompanied by
a statement the most singular he had ever heard. That

to satisfy every individual in that House. He begged
to ask that Right Hon. Gentleman whether the words
I unprovoked, deliberate, and premeditated massacre, ought to
I satisfy every individual in that House. The Hon. Mem-
ber for Kerry, who had expressed his detestation of what
had occurred at Nei townimarry, seemed to have entirely lost
sight of the dreadful murders perpetrated in the south
parts of Ireland. The Honourable Member had also as-
s, rted that he conceived Ireland ought not to be governed
by party. In that sentiment lie entirely concurred. But
this lie must say, that he would touch rather see Ireland
governed by the most degraded party on earth, than by the
party of the Honoura'mle Member for the county of Kerry.
The lion. Member said he was surpri,ed, after so much
of inflammatory harangue, and after such irritating topics
had been dwelt upon, to hear a beseeching cry that
the business should be proceeded in no further to-
night.—(Hear) He could only say in amply, that so
long as such gross misrepresentation and delusion were ut-
tered in that House, and transferred from thence to the
public Press, through which it was promulgated speedily in
every hamlet and village in England, he would not pass it
quietly- by come from whom it might.—(Cheers.) Ilefara
lie sat down, he begged to advert to a subject which was
under discussion on a former night. He had then asserted
that the Grand Jury of Carlow hail not thank certain toasts
which they had been charged with, and the Right lion.
Secretary for Ireland confirmed it. But there appeared
to be some doubt in the minds of some Hon. Nicoll-tee.,
whether at a later period of the evening, whea hat few of
the Grand Jury were present, those toasta had not been
proposed. He had now the pleasure to inform the House
that he had received a denial that such Was the case from 411 of the Grand Jury.
Mr, JEPHSON deprecated the speech of the reiklit
lion. Member :or Harwich (Mr. D 'warn)) as r4-..e of a mot
irritating nature, and as like!y to he )u-odLetive of serious
injury in Ireland. The Rmght lion. Gentleman hail con-
founded the neople of Ireland with a great cause of
misery; in th'at country, for many years past. That
Right Hon. Gentleman had also cast an mespeaaian upon
the body of gentlemen who bad that gim; proper to repre-
sent the present state of Trek rd to the Prime Alinister ;
he (Mr. Jephsoral asked if those gentlemen would have
perfortuad their fluty to Ireland if they had not repree

LEFT n;A4044,

Mr. HUME rose to move for an abstract of the number
kind rank of the.officers in the army at the accession of his
Majesty on full and half-pay, of promotions in consequence
Of warrants issued in 1829 and subsequently, of copies or
those warrants, and of the officers who had been allowed
to sell their conunissioue. The lion. Member s rid there
had been numbers of officers promoted without services
or merit, and he supposed that at the Coronation a
protnot ion would take place which would saddle the country
with a vast expense. '.. '•' -. ;
Sir H. HARDINGE wished the lion. Member had
abstained from making such statements ; he would do
the army more service than by the course he was pursuing.
The promotion in the army Wad been economically mana-
ged, and had given to the country an efficient fearer. It
had been managed by Lord Hill, and in every instance
with A just sense of what was due to the services
of the different officers. He thought it would be much
better for the Hon. Member for Middlesex not to
make general imputations of blame on the army until facts
were before the House.
•Mr. HUME—I complain that promotion has been in
the hands of Lord Bill. It certainly ought to be an
act of Government.. I .ant prepared to show that thou- •
*ands have been promoted, and when the occasion arrives,
the House will see on what substantial grounds of merit.
Sir H. HARDINGE--I protest against such an imputa-
tion on the army, while no facts are before the House.
Mr. HUME, I make no imputation on the army.
Sir 11. fIARDINGE, with much appirent warmth—
When an lion. Member states to this House that thousands
of officers have been promoted without merit or service, who
will say that no imputation is intended to be oast on the
army ?—(Hear.) And when I hear any Hon. Member make
so broad and sweeping an assertion, I will always
give it the most flat contradiction.
Mr. HUME—Give a flat contradiction to what? I
said without due consideration to merit and service.
Sir 11. HARDINGE—But you have stated no facts. •
Here the conversation dropped.
Mr. BERRIES moved fur a return of the total sums
contributed by Great Britain towards the ereetion of the
-fortifications in the Netherland?.
Lord ALTHORP had no objection to the return.
On the motion of Lord AI:THORP that the House re-
solve into a Committee on the Reform Bill,
Sir R. VYVYAN asked whether the asenrenceo which
a Noble Lord (Palmerston) had stated that Govern..
twrit had received, respecting the evacuation of Bel-
gium by the French army as soon as the Dutch troops
retired, had been renewed?
Lord ALTHORP stated that Government had received
from Brussels assurances that orders hard beers given for
the French troops to withdraw from Belgium, and he
begged leave to say, that when the Right Honourable
Baronet referred to those assurances which Ministers had
received to this effect, they never yet had reason to doubt
the good faith of the French Government in the assurance
that had been given.
Sir R. PEEL was perfectly satisfied with the
explanation. He wished it to be understood that
no one iu that House wished to encourage an impression
that the assurances of the French Government would
that informationordersd
not be kept. Was he to understand that the
evacuation of Belgium was to be complete, and the whole
army to be withdrawn ?

REFORM BILL.
On the motion of Lord ALTHOILP, the House then went
into Committee upon the Reform Bill,
The 21st clause (respecting the 101. qualification)
having bees read,
Mr. MACKINNON submitted to the Committee a mo-
tion to this effect;—That in all cities and boroughs, which
contain from 300 to 500 houses of 10/. rent, the qualifi-
cation to vote may remain as stated in the clause—that is,
at 10/. rent ; but that in those cities or boroughs whirls
have from 500 to 1,000 houses of 10/. rent, the qualifica-
Lion to vote shall be la/. yearly rent ; and the*: in those
cities or boroughs which hare 1,000 houses or upwards,
the qualification to vote shall be 201. rent. His reason
for proposing that resolution was that in many boroughs
where the number of 101. householders Was under SOO,
those persons were much more respectable than the occu-
pier. of 10/. houses in the larger towns. Ile hoped that
the Noble Lord would reconsider the clause, and agree to
the atnetichnent which he proposed, and which was the
most equitable scale for the adjustment of the qualification.
The middle classes ought to have the power of appointing
their representatives ; but the Bill would give all the power
in the large towns to the lower classes, to the exclusion of
the middle clams,
Upon the sugeestion of Mr. Beenet, the Chairman,
Mr. MACKINNON withdrew his motion until the clause re-
specting registration should come belore the Howse.
Sir C. WETIILIIELL opposed this clause, because he
believed that it would introduce into the country as pure
a detnoeratical system as if the right of universal suffrage
were acknowledged. He, however, begged to observe,
that owing to the endless alterations that had taken place
in the Bill, lie did out by any means feel sure that he per-
feetly understood that clause, or, indeed, any other clause.
If he understand this clause aright, it gave to a voter the
right of voting, even though he should be in arrear for
ta.Nea, provided he had paid them up to the Ist of the pre-
vious month of August. Another objection which he had
to the clause was, that it gave a facility to bribery, because
they might be quite sure that the poorer class of voters
would always be in arrear as to their taxes ; and the con-
sequence would be, that the candidate, or his agent, would
pretty well know on what aide to attack him.
Lord ALTHORP said, that the principal alteration in
the original claus: was, that it did not now, as formerly,
require proof of the payment of the rent, but only of the
payment of the rates and taxes. That was the substantial
alteration, The next wire that which regarded the register,
whioli was to be made up once a-year, and which not only
required that there should be so arrear of taxes at that
time, but that there should be proof of a twelvemonth's
residence ; and thoult he would admit that in some in-
stances there might be cases of arrears, yet that Was pretty
well geardad against by also requiring proof of a twelve-. tuanth's residence. He could not agree with the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman that the clause would be productive of
bribery ; because, though there might be arrears of rates
and taxes, he thought that very few candidates would be
to be found who would be willing to pay up the arrears of
all their voters.—(hear, hear.)
Sir C. WETHERELL reiterated his opinion of the in-
judiciou•dier,s of the clause. Ile had every inclination to
he persuaded by the Noble Lord—he wished to be per-
suaded by him--..but there was a thing called experience,
which prevented his being cenvinced.—(A lauele )
1 Mr, .EWART thought that this clause would bring into
poeration a very useful class of voters, the permenence of
whom would he secured by insisting on their residence for
a year before they were allowed to have a vote.
Sir E. B. SUGDEN seid, that though in the metro-
polis small house tn..; not predominate, yet in small towns
the case wet4.l be different. The most cursory considers-
thin of the clause must mate it obvious to every Hon. Member, that instead of equalising the qualificetion through.
out the county , it would give a different right in almost
i every individa ace.
A.lr, Aldernei n COPEL.AND saw no reason why in the
prish of Marylnbone it required a'qualifieation of 2M. to
vote for a vestrymen, when to/. would entitle a man to
vote fur a Meter of Parliament ; surely the latter was the
greater and the !more important trust ; anal if 25/. were
im
;I:4med ;tot too Much in the ease of a vestryman, how touch
(greater ought the sum be in the case of a Member of Par-
liameet ?
, Loral ALTHORP obacrved that the IlonrMember for
boroughbrldge heti contended that candidaties would be
called on to pay she rates of t users whote suffiagea
they solic'sted, hut he felt aesu that the !edit reflectein
wpu;:4aatisfy every Hon. Aliember that that could not be fee
case. Another lion. and Learned 51ember atteiekeak the
clause on other grounds, noticing the probable eikcti.`.!!
