tion of the papers would break in upon justice. After all,
the information could not affect the motion of the Member for
Armagh.
Lord A. HAMILTON concurred in what had fallen from
his Hon. and Learned Friend. The. Right Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had not made out a case for refusal of the
.papers.
It was said an action might be brought against the Magistrates.
If they had done their duty why fear an action ? The Noble
Lord supported the motion. -
Mr. S. RICE did not consider the piOduction of the papers
at all applicable to the motion of the Hon. Member for Ar.
magh. The great question at issue was, whether Parkament
would rescue 'lreland from the faction which had so long de-
stroyed the tranquillity. of that country. If the House wished
to encourage conciliation, they would not allow the evidence
to be produced. •
Mr. GRATTAN supported the motion. The more public
the facts were made, the better every one knew how Ireland
was governed. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was of one
opinion, the Attorney-General, Secretary, and Solicitor-General
of another; and the only wonder was how the Government
went on. He thought the Attorney-General had done much
good for Ireland, in opposing a party which had so long dis-
turbed the peace of that country
Dr. PHILLIMORE conceived the questiOn before the House
to be without a precedent ; he would therefore oppose it.
Mr. LAM BTON said, if he could consider the question turn-
ed on the opposition to his Majesty's most gracious intention,
he should not vote for the motion ; but that was not the ques-
tion. , He did say that a prima
.pcie case of unconstitutional
conduct had been made out against the Attorney-General for
Ireland. He should be happy to find him exculpate himself.
With respect to the improbability of the story, of the intent to
murder the King's Representative of Ireland, it was remark-
able that the bottle had not been thrown with more violence.—
Since the affair, several bottles, by way of experiment, had been
thrown from the gallery, and not one remained whole. The
bottle said to have been thrown with a murderous intention was
to be seen unbroken. The Attorney-General had acted uncon-
stitutionally beyond all precedent.
Lord HOTHAIII supported the motion.—Colond TRENCH
also spoke in support of the motion.
Colonel BARRY, in reply, said, he was anxious to see Ire-
land governed by equal laws, but it certainly could not pro-
mote the peace of that country to run down a party because
Popular clamour imputed to them motives to which they were
strangers. He wished to see Ireland without Orange Societies
and United Irishmen.
The House divided, when the numbers were :
For the Motion - • - - 32
Against it - . - 48
Majority - -16
Colonel BARRY then moved that there be laid before the
House copies of the recojnizances entered into by the pc.-sons
arrested in consequence of the late riots in Dublin.
Mr. PLUNKETT said that these papers were matter of
public record, and therefore at the command of the House.—
Ile had no objection to the motion

MILITARY AND NAVAL PENSIONS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that in
the motion he was about to make he should not detain the House
at that late hour with any observations, other and more suitable
occasions would arise to make whatever explanation might be
necessary. He should only move for leave to bring in a Bill to
confirm the agreement made under the act of last session be-
tween the Bank of England and the Trustees of Naval and
Dlilitary Pensions, for the call of part of the annuities in them
Tested.

!Iir:BARING said that he would not enter into any dis.
cussion at present on the merits of the Bill, but reserve the ex.
Pression of his dissent for another opportunity.
Ur. GRENFELL said, he should likewise oppose the bar.
gain altogether.'
Ur. BARING inquired whether a bill of this sent ought not
to originate in a Committee ?
The SPEAKER said, that as the contrast, whether good or
bad, was not for the current year, and therefore not a question
which ordinarily-went into a Committee.
Leave was accordingly given.
MR. PARKINS.
Ur. HUME presented a petition from Joseph Wilfred Par-
kins, praying for an extension of time, he not having complied

cute his petition against the return of Thomas Reave Kemp,'
Esq. for the borough of Arundel.. Mr. Hume said that the pe-
titioner had attended at the proper time, but one of his secu-
rities was missing, and he had not been able to find him. The
petitioner ascribed his absence to some unfair means. The
hour (12 o'clock) for presenting the petition was past, but per-
haps die House might see cause for interposing in the allegation
of the petition.
Some remarks were made against receiving the petition by
Sir Thomas Baring and Mr. C. W. Wynne.
Air. HUME said, that of his own knowledge lie would state
no one fact respecting the petition.
The question was put for receiving the petition, and carried,
in the affirmatiye.—lt was ordered to lie on the table.
