PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion that the house go into. committee on
this bill, •

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE stated the many and
great objdctions he had to this bill. In 1847 a measure
bad,bein passed for the prevention of crime in Ireland,
which expired in 1852, and from time to time there were
continuous acts introduTeaT but all these bills were
tounded upon special circumstances, which were said to
justify such coercive proceedings. It was, however, re-
served for a Liberal Administration to declare that the
people of Ireland should be subjected for ever to a
system of legislation outside the spirit of the constitu-
tion. It was sought by the present bill to render
the power perpetual. The Lord-Lieutenant was to have
the power of proclaiming certain districts whenever he
deemed it necessary, and within those proclaimed districts
no person would be able to possess or carry arms without
a licence. In the proclaimed districts the 14,rd-Lieu-
tenant was also to have the power of sending, any addi-
tional police force he thought proper, and to compel
the ratepayers within the district to liquidate the ex.
penses. Ile highly objected to such a measure becom-
ing a permanent enactment.

The-Earl of BESSBOROUGH supported the measure.
Lord REDESDALE thought that such povier as
was conferred by this bill ought to be merely temporary.
The Earl of WICKLOW said Governments for seve-
ral successive years had always found it necessary to
enact a law of the present nature, and it had invariably
been found to work well. He did not think there mull
be any objections to the enactments of the present mea-
sure becoming permanent. It would unquestionably, be
easier to repeal such a measure as the present than to
renew it from time to time.

Lord ST. LEONARDS objected -to the bill. He,
thought the present state of Ireland rendered the passing
of such an act as the measure now before their lordships
