Mr. W. POLE raid, that this was the first time
he had heard of the abuse complained of by the.
Right Hon. Baronet, and therefore, it was impossi-_.
ble.that he could have taken any means to redress
it if it realty existed. If the• Right Hon. Baronet had
made any application to the Irish Government, the
subject would have been immediately inquired into,
and every possible attention paid to it : instead of
which the Right Hon. Baronet had thought proper
to come forward, without any previous notice,
.and
propose to make an alteration in the law.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, he did not want any
alteration in the law, but that it should be pltin
and specific. He had not applied to the Irish Go-
vernment for redress, nor should he ever ask. them'
for any favour which the Right Hon. Gentlemen
in his caprice might refuse or grant, but he ap-
plied to Parliament, which he knew to be the pro-
per place.
Mr. W. POLE said, .that the Right Hon. Baronet
was neither warranted in the observations he- had
made, nor in the tone he had assumed. The Right
Hon. Baronet, when stating his ground of complaint,
had addressed himself personally to him (Mr. Pole).
-In reply, he had merely told the Right Hon. Baronet,
that he had never heard:any complaints before upon
the subje&, and had expressed his readiness to give
every satisfat`ztion upon the subject. Surely ten
'the Right Hob. Baronet was not justified in assum-
ing the tone which he had done. He wished to
state, before he sat down, that one of the principal
towns. in' the county. which he had the honour to
represent, was 'inhabited entirely by Quakers, with
many of whom he was in the habit of constant
communication, and he had never heard any com-
plaint from them of the kind mentioned by the
Right Hon. Baronet.
' Mr. FRANKLAND said, he thought it would be of
great advantage, if -the laws in lre!and upon thes.e
points' were brought annually betore the House, as
they were in England, by the. Mutiny Bill. s He did
not know, whether it would not be wise to ,incor-
pnrate them with that Bill, -hut at all events, • he
thought the attention of the House should be an-
nually called to them.
Mr. W. POLE said, there was much gob(' sense in
the observation of the Hon. Gentleman, and 116 for
one was ready to give every assistance in his power
to promote the Hon. Gentleman's object. He agreed
with the Hon. Gentleman, that it would be highly
advantageous to have the laws subsisting in Ireland
upon these subjeas brought annually before the
House; but any attempt to revise those laws, and
incorporate them with this Bill, at present, would
only create contusion. •
Some further- discussion ensued, both on this
clause and on that which related to the allowances,
in which LOrd Palmerstone, Mr. Parnell, Mr. Frank-
land, Mr. W. Pole, Sir J. Newportl Sir G. War-
render, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Yorke, &c. participated ;
but no material alteration was made in the Bill.—
Eventually, the. Houie having resumed, the Re-
port was ordered lobe received On Monday.

Mr. W. i'oc3 was about to move, that the Home
should resolve into a Committee of Supply, to take
into consideration the Irish Miscellaneous Services ;
but at the suggestion of Sir J. N Ew s;oRT, who stated
that several Irish Members had quitted the House,
on the suppoSitiv that the subject would not be
brought forward that night, he consented to post-
pone his motion till Monday.
