_.ARMAMENT.

The SPEAKER then said he had to acquaint the
House. that James Johnson, who had presented a petition
complaining of an undue election for the boroughs of
Stir'ing had not entered into his recognizances.
The ord,r of the day or taking the petition into con-
sideration was accordingly discharged.
CLONMEL ELECTION.

Mr. O'CONNELL rose to call the attention of the
Howse to Mr. Ronayne's petition, for time to enter
into rectgnizances on the Clonmel election. With-
out the eteatest inconvenience, arising from the time
when the assizes wet, held in that town it would be im-
possil.le to call together the witnesses: He did not itnti-
cipate any opposition to the petition, especially as the
agent of the sitting Member had been furnished with a
copy of it. He. therefore, moved that the ord. rof the day
for appointing the ballot on this election for the 21st of
March, be discharged, for the purpose of p..stponing it.
Colonel PERCEVAL did tint rise for the purpose of
opposing the motion, but only for the purpose of request..
in?. that an early day ;fter the sec ss might he fixed for
taking the matter into consid ration, in consequence of
the expenses that would he incurred.
The order of the di was then discharged, and ap-
pointed for reconsideration on the 16th May.
WISH PETITIONS.
Mr. GOULBURN wished to a-k the Noble Lord
oprosite a question, which was connected with the
convenience of the House. On a former occasion it
was certainly understood that this day, at least the
early p,:rt of it, was to he exclusively devoted to the pre-
tentation of petitions, with respect to the Bill for pre-
venting disturbance. in It elind. He (Mr. Goulburn) un.
derstond that the presentation of petitions on that suti-
ject had not been concluded on that II .y. He wished
tberefrre to know whether Monday would be fixed to
proceed with the presentation of those petitions, or whe-
ther it would be an open day.
Mr. O'CONNELL wished to state, that there were an
immense number of petitions on the subject yet to he pr,-
sented—far more in number than the House had hitherto

- -
received.
Lord ALTHORP observed, that the proposition he
intended to submit to the House was this, that in case the
- eebare on the s-cond reading of the Bill he concluded that
evenine, then the House should sit to-morrow, to receive
petitions. But in case the debate on the second re iding
should no- be concluded, the House slinuA sit to-morrim
morning for the purpose of continuing the debate, awl, in
that case, be should sueeest that on Monday the same un-
derstanding shoritd take place as existed to-day, that no
petition should be printed except those that had reference
to the Irish Bill.

NORWICH ELECTION.
Lord STORNIONT said he could not avoid address-
ing the House On the subject of a petition that
had been pre,ented a f w days ago, against the
return ter Norwich. The petitioners in 'hat petition,
.fated, flat many acts of bribery hail been com
niitted, anti prayed the House to direct a Coniniission to
examine wi'ne-iies to ascertain these tiers. Ile (Lott!
Fttirment) could net but observe, th,t th- R
Hon. ikletnht r presenting that petition had nor given hitt,
any notice of hi. intention to do so. He attributed that
neglect to the Hen. Gentleman being a youn: Mea her,
and rot acquainird with the practice in that reap et. It
Was true that Le (Lord Stormont) was aware that such a
petition was in the el/Ur9F of signature, but be considered it
of so ale urd a nature that no Hon. Mend), would he found
to present ir. A-; however, the Hon. Gentletnan had un-
dertaken that ,a-k, nil as I e had pre.ented the petition to
the House at a time, in consequence of having no notice,
when those against whom it contained calumnies, lad no '
opportunity of refuting them, he had thought it right thus
fat to bring the matter before the attention of the RM'.
When, however, the petition was brought under conside-
ration, he entertained no doubt that he should be enabled
to refute all the calumnies which it contained.
Mr. GIIOTE could assure the Noble Lord that his not
haviav given him notice, hail arisen from pure omission.
In future, however, he would take care to be more careful
on that point.

GRAND JURIES (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord ALTHORP m ved tLe order of the day for the
aecond reading of the Diatuibances (Ireland) Suppression
Bill.

On the question being put,
Mr. STANLEY rose, and said be hoped that no ob-
jection would be made to permit the Grand Juries
(Ireland) 8,11 to be read a second time without discussion, in
order that it might h- forwarded a stage, and be fully
discussed hereafter. The second reading could be done at
once before the other MI carne on for the secono4 reading,
and he si ould propnwe to refer it to a Select Committee,
Mr. O'CONNELL thought that the course suggested
by the Right Hon. Gentleman with _regard to a BM
of that kind was the best that could be adopted. Every
Member was agreed in one point that the
Irish Grand Jury Laws required amendment, arid the
proper course to be
pursued would be, to discuss tin
Committee. He was, however, of opinion that the BM,
. %help od
as it was at present prepared, would not effect all
objects that were intended, and that it would quire coral-
derable alteration to mike it an efficient measure.
