POOR-LAW (IRELAND).
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he had moved
some time ago for papers with respect to the operation of
the Poor-laws in Ireland, which had not yet been laid be-
fore the House. He, therefore, wished to know when
he might expect them. He was particularly
anxious fur one with respect to the Poor-law
Guardians of Naas. It appeared that the gentleman
who was returning officer of the board of guardians of
that place, had been tried and convicted of au offence.
What the offence was, he (the Duke of Wel-
lington) would not name, as it would appear
in the record of the trial, for which he would
then move. The Noble Duke then moved for a return of
the Record cf the trial of Bartholomew Casey at the
Sessions House, Green-street, Dublin, on the ith of July,
1839, before Chief Justice Dogerty and Judge Johnson.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he had made in-
quiry into the circumstances of this case, and, from what
he had been informed, he had reason to believe that there
was some mistake as to the identity of the party. With
reg and to the other papers, they mere more voluminous than
perhaps the Noble Duke was aware of, but they should be
day, red as soon as possible.
Lord LYNDHURST inquired if' there would be any

he would give an answer on Monday.
