OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

ordered of the number of outrages committed in Ireland
between the month of May, 1845, and November, 1847.

IRISH COERCION BILL.

The Duke of RICHMOND moved for a return of
persons tried under the Insurrection Act, passed April
3, 1833. The Act authorised the trial of persons in
certain proclaimed districts by court-martial. He
moved for these returns in order to show the people of
Ireland that if they refused to servo on juries,
or to give just verdicts, or if they sought to
intimidate juries, the Legislature possessed the
power of ordering trials to take place by court-martial.
No trial had taken place under this clause; the know-
ledge of its existence had been sufficient to secure obe-
dience to the law in Ireland, and he hoped that the Mi-
nisters would not hesitate to demand additional powers if
such were necessary to rescue Ireland from her present
disgraceful state. He had the greatest confidence in the
present Lord-Lieutenant, and had no hesitation in say-
ing that he would willingly trust him with unlimited
power.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in consenting to the
motion, expressed his concurrence in the greater part of
what had fallen from the Noble Duke, and he assured
him that if the measures proposed should prove in-
efficient, the Government would have no hesitation in
coming► to Parliament to ask for further powers—(flear,
hear)—to suppress the present system of murder exist-
ing in Ireland.—(liear, hear.)
The motion was then agreed to.
Thore Lordships then adjourned.
