CARLOW ELECTION.

Sir T. FREMANTLE stated that there was an-
other Hon. Member (Col. Bruen) who was waiting to
take the oaths and his seat for the County of Carlow,
but there was an error in the date of the return. The
election took place on the 30th of November, and a
return was made on the sth of December, but by some
accident or mistake it was dated the sth of November.
He (Sir Thomas Fremantle) apprehended that it was
merely a clerical error, and that it did not affect the merits
or validity of the election ; but if any doubts were en-
tertained upon the subject, he was prepared to point
out a similar case which occurred in the year 1792.
The Honourable Baronet then referred to the
Journals, from which it appeared an entry had
been made, to the effect that the House be-
ing informed there was a mistake in the
last return of a Knight of the Shire for the county of
Huntingdon, the return being dated April 15, instead of
May 15, it was ordered that the Clerk of the Crown
do attend and produce the return. That having been
done, and a Member having informed the House that he
was present at the return, and that it was made on the
13th of May, it was ordered that the return should be
amended by inserting May instead of April. The Hon.
Baronet concluded by moving that the Clerk of the
Crown do attend the House forthwith and produce the
return.—Agreed to.
The Clerk of the Crown immediately attended and
produced the return.
On the motion of Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE
the entry nn the Journals was read.
Mr. ARCHDALL stated that he was present at
the election for Carlow, when Colonel Bruen was re-
turned. The election took place on the 30th of No-
vember, and the return was made on the sth of De-

comber.
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE then moved that
the return be amended by striking out November and
inserting December, which was accordingly done.
The subject was then dropped.
