James Flannery,'Corrielius Flannery, Win. Bouni-

disorderly persons, out of their dwellingS at im-

with a similar offence on the night of the Sth inst.

to that Court accordingly.
The prosecution against Stephen Burke exhibit•
eti a scene of-g-te•at moral depravity.
Burke was charged with being out of his dwell-
ing at an improper hour on the night of the 16th,
and the evidence to support the prosecution was
William Fora», his brother-in-lan, and Anne
Form), his own sister, both of whom, in their
evidence, coupled in the charge against Burke,
their own son, as being the principal in the of-
fence. It appeared that- Foran 'claimed a share in
the house, which was occupied. in common by
'both the laniilieS, with but
,one door to it, and in
the land also, in right of his wife ; and Burke
and he seems to have been in a continued broil
about this titles which Burke disputed. Th;!
Bench dismissed the prosecution, hut all the
parties were ordered to give security for keeping
the peace.

At the close of the Sessions, Se...jeant Moose
pronounced the sentence of transportation upon
John Stapleton, Mathew Ryan, and John Morony,
aecompanied, as usual, by observations, calcu-
lated in the highest degree. to make a lasting hit-
pression.upon persons of their class, in reclaiming
them front those evil courses, which, sooner or
later, are.visited. upon themselves. These three
men were. accordingly sent off, under an escort of
Police,.to the prisou•ship at Cork.

coNtLiT7,tpli or THE MENTE UPON TUE LAW

AGAINST SEDITION.

Baron PAsrtutEtt.—No one, Gen'tlernen, is.m9re
convinced than myseif of the necessity of an e,i-
traordinary kw. I incess;:ntly called for it ; per-,
haps had it been passed at the time when I urged
it; great calamities Ivould have been spared.—
But a law of this kind should be remarkable for
its clearness and frankness; I .must say, however,
with regret, that this %NAlicit has been presented,'
has nether the one nor the other. And first I ask,
What is meant by a person charged P No person
is charged, but when lie has received 'a form of
process ; prior to this step I see only a suspicion.
]f you declare that lie must be a person charged,
he should not only be detained, but placed before
the tribunals and tried. These are principles of
Jas. You wish to deprive dange.rous torn of the
means of doing iniSchief; /:11'not bt forehand call
them persons charged : that is not, the proper ex 7
pression, and from thiS error proceed all the de-
fects. of the projet.

If, besides, it is asked, who are the function-
aries who shall arrest those whom it may be
deemed- fit to call charged, I reply, that
,they.are
not described. . Shrill this - right- belong to .the
Judges of criminal process ? But these Magis-
trates, accustomed to prosecutetheprdinary,,of-
fences of society, are little familia,riSed.With
snore lofty order of ideas. A great deal has been
S,aid of recompOsitiou and purification ; but 'with
wh,atever, activity that.work illaY be carried'on, it
cannot be finished in-a day. Von cannot wait
for the purtfication of the Judges'charged with
the execution of this law, °which, if , good J'or any
thing, should be "instantaneous in its
It, however, its exeention is to be left to the
Atititinistration, that power must emanate from
the MinistrY, and he nirected•and vsitched by it.,
then would be the position of the mjn.istry,,,
if the lase beiog executed in various wars by a
crowd of Inner ionarivs, it had to repair their ibis-
takes*Or incur the resporisihilit ?
Upoh the whole' I think the law conforniable
veil her to the princi!es of-just nor to
th'4;c of sown' p d v. .Its obscurity., its atiqii-
gidiv will leave both, the citizens, and funetiona-
e7e, in iereram._:e of the eases, when it slniuld be
applied it does not define the power which it
teives, and it does snit pace that power where it

:spoke :----I have iisen to-speak, in order to

anobjectino. When England is quoted in Ma
t Cl'3 of politicsl legislation, a great and des-p im-
pression is always sure to be wade : .but the
ouOted exan..ple insist be correct. and its applica-
tion lot is said, that in 1794, the Houses
of Parliainent did not suspend the Habeas Corpus
till after the inquiry. Let us recollect the period ;
tughind then enjoyed internal peace
.whieb she
saw threatened by the contagion of principles
subversive' of social order, which 'so to speak,,
crossed the Channel to bring tier disturbaitpe and
cruel dissensions. The danger appeared imminent ;-
a great 'Alinister felt
.that a prompt measure was
~
pecesiary to repress 'the seditious, but it was ne-
cessary to know by an inivitr, how the country
slioull pass front the 'ordinary state to one new
and unexpected, how the exercise of a common
right should :be suspended.
Here we 'tare asked what is the state of France;
it is wished, before Voting tlo: law, to know what
arc the circumstances, tvhat the public dangers
that render it necessary. What is the situation
of France; Gentlemen ? It is easy to describe it

The closiug of the debate was then demanded, but M.
Chiffietobtained a hearing for souse short observati,Jus, in
the course a which he expressed his coincidence of nisi:lion
with M. Royer Collard.
tie Laze, Minister of Police.--I divide into two points
the difficulties which are presented: the' power to be con-
ferred on the King, the guarantee to be given to the people.
Soule say that this power is too great ; others think it too
cyntinvil.
e thinit that this power is sufficitintly great, and, that it
could not, be le'ss.

....
The Ministers have not feared to take 'upon-themselves the•
weight of an immense responsibility. They undoubtedly have
more interest than atiy.,l4ody else in hal:noting ,tins power, so
as- to by conformable to- Itru interest ct society and of the.
•
That which Atas.been called the alarm-cry of the Itomays,,
and 'which I wont(' call the cry of security, (for the law which
we propose is a law of security as well as of public Safety; ,
This alarm cry, ;cavets4t co:a-rites, did not carry after itl it-is
the, same euusegocm:es,athe proposed law.
The' exlraotidinary• power was not confided except to the
Consuls alone and to the Vietator.

It is not the same in France where the authority will be
necessarily delegated; its exercise thaefore most be divided

took place right mouths ago ?

promptitude of the measures, nothing (amid stop the proi,;ress

, The project has been reproached with pretenoeuimproprie-
ties of expression; it is wisnied to sousttiane the ward .sospi-.
chin for the. word aeraizuthent. -
It is.• it the suspected whom we wish to arrest; it is the
real art aigned; We say with the penal code.: he whom pub-
lic Opinion accuses is really arraigned. 'The torah article
speaks of arraigned persons surprised in flagrant offenees.—.
Now these persons are tiot yet delivered up to justice; they
are mereiy suspected.
What guariintee does the lain give? A Moral, though not
a constitutional responsibility, which will alWays weigh .on
the heads of :\ blisters:
We do nat fear to avow it: we are ourselves alarmed at
the power' confided to us; that which.re-assures us .s a feel-
ingmf the good of the State, and of the safety of the thrmie.
That ivbieh, above all, oug,4l'. to re-assure us is, the iutilli-
rleace and wisdom-Of that- august Prince, who himself, will fie

had been proposed,' aaa found theat.io he unnecessary.

The Ist article,. as preieuteuto the Chamber, was then put

The modifications proposedun the 2d article were, also ne-

The President then observed, that various amendments
