The inference I deduced was, that he bad fled from the
country, being frightened by the observations of the
Master of the Rolls, which I characterised as irregu-
lar. (Hear, hear.) That was the only offensive word
I made use of ; and I will put it to any member of the
equity bar, either in this country or in Ireland, whether
I did not use a mild and mitigated term in thus speak-
ing of his observations. (Hear, hear.) Having given
that answer, on Monday following the hon. member for
Mayo put a further question to me, also upon the autho-
rity of the Master of the Rolls, imputing that the Go-
vernment had suffered the escape of this gentleman
from motives of the most corrupt character—namely,
that if he had been made amenable to justice, there
were secrets he could disclose which would place the
Government in a disagreeable position. My answer
then was that I bad reason to believe that Mr. Sad-
leir had not left Ireland since the 17th or 18th of June ;
but if he had left it was before that date, and in
consequence of the irregular observations of the
Master of the Rolls. Thera is no reference in that
to his conduct as a privy councillor, or as a judge,
further than in applying to it the term irregular. These
expressions, I learn, were communicated immediately
to the Master of the Rolls ; and I do hope, for the
sake of the character of the learned judge, that some
misrepresentation has been made to him ; for I cannot
conceive that he has been induced to take the extraordi-
nary course he has taken from a thorough representation
of what took place here, but from some misrepresenta-
ticn, which led him to suppose that hie character as a
judge had been assailed, and as a gentleman, in violating
the sacred oath be had taken. After that, on July 7, I
find from a Dublin paper, which does not sympashlse
with the Liberal party, that the Master of the Rolls asks,
on the part ofthe public, if informations have been sworn
in the case of the Tipperary Bank—if any steps have been
taken to make the parties amenable ; and he adds, " May
I further inquire what is the duty of a Privy Council-
lor ?" I conjecture from this that the Master of the
Rolls himself did not suppose that any allusion bad been
made to his oath as a Privy Councillor ; for he merely
refers to the duty of a Privy Councillor. He adds, " I
did not obtrude advice or information privately.; first,
because it was no part of my duty to do so, and, se-
condly, because I believed then, and believe now, that
it would have received no attention whatever from the
Government, for reasons the public will well know. I
shall only add, if no bona fide proceedings be taken at the
next Clonmel assizes, the result will be that the duty of
a privy councillor, and the nature and meaning of an
oath, will meet with more discussion than perhaps the
Irish Government is aware of." The hon. member for
Mayo put an interpretation upon this, which I believe to
be the true one ;he says that the overnment shrank
from making Mr. Sadleir amenable, because there were
secrets which would come to light which would bring dis-
credit on that Government. I call attention to the fact,
that this was not the delivery of a judgment, but a state-
ment entirely uncalled for, unless so, far as it was justified
by the name of the judge himself. En a subsequent state-
ment he observes that I accused him of a breach of duty.
I wish most distinctly to disclaim-any such imputation.
The Master of the Rolls is a judge of a court of equity,
and in reference to the criminal procedure of the country
he has no duty to perform. If, in the course of a case
in the Rolls Court, he is led to the conclusion that a
witness has committed perjury, or that a forged instru-
ment has been produced, he may direct.a prosecution for
it. H s course, under such a state of facts, is to commu-
nicate with the law officers of the Crown, and to make
an order that the documents may be placed in the bands
of the Crown solicitor. Beyond that he has no duty to
the criminal law ; but I confess I think that if any judge
does disclose to the law officers of the Crown, or to the
responsible officers of the executive government, who-
ever they may be, that there are materials before him to
show that crime has been committed, he performs that
which the public will thank him for, but which is not
his duty. In many suits in courts of equity circumstances
are disclosed as to the mode in which transactions are
worked up which would perhaps expose the parties to a
prosecution for conspiracy ; but it is not usual for the
judge, under such circumstances, either to direct a
prosecution or "eto take active steps in it. (Hear.) I
have now to call the attention of the house to what
took place on Friday the 11th of July. The paper I
hold in my hand contains the charge made specifi-
cally by the Master of the Rolls, delivered from the
bench of justice to a court crowded to excess, and de-
livered in pursuance of notice given two days previously.
I take it from the Dublin Evening Mail, and am enabled
to state that the report is from a manuscript furnished
by the Master of the Rolls himself; for, immediately
after he bad delivered his judgment, printed slips were
distributed containing that judgment in extenso. It is
beaded " The Sadleir Frauds." [The hon. and learned
gentleman here read the address of the Master of the
Rolls, which has already appeared in the columns of
The Sun.] When the Master of the Rolls made
this statement, the case of the Tipperary Bank was not
before him ; he was reading from a document which he
had prepared in pursuance of a threat two days before.
From the last sen' sale nobody can doubt that the Master
of The Rolls intended to complain, and did complain, that
for some reason or other which the public would under-
stand, the Government had connived at the escape of
James Sadleir, and had forbid his prosecution, and
that I, as a responsible adviser of that Government,
had obeyed their mandates, that I had favoured his
escape, and that it was only the base motive, the fear of
losing the office I hold, that at last forced me to attempt
to perform that duty. I say this with the most firm con-
viction, if there is. one sentence of that imputation charge-
able to me, if I leave one line of it unanswered, I am un-
fit to he Id the high office I now fill. I believe that in the
history of courts and of jurisprudence there will not be
found a parallel proceeding to this, and I put it to Mr.
Cardwell, who says he is a friend of the Master of the
Rolls, and I know him to be a gentleman, whether be
can stand up in this house, and—l will not say justify—
but palliate or excuse that statement in a court of jus-
tice. I think the Master of the Rolls must have bet n
irritated or excited by some gross misrepresentation of
what took place in this house a few days previously; had
be known the truth he never would have made those
charges. Some of the Dublin papers put this interpreta-
tion upon his language, that I had delayed to prosecute
and allowed to escape a transportable felon, and that
I had so from party motives. It is impossible
that any one could be called to answer a more grave
charge, imputing conduct so base and dishonourable. I
now proceed to the complete exculpation which I am
able to lay before the house. One imputation cast upon
me is, that the learned gentleman pronounced a judg-
ment on the 4th March which ought to have aroused me
from the torp it I was in, and to have taught me the duty
I owed to the public. On that day the petition for winding
up the Tipperary Bank was before him; but I did not see
the judgm eat he then gave until, in consequence of his ob-
servation since, I looked for it the otherday, and found it.
Up to that time I had never seen or heart of it. It may
be that I am culpable, in the situation I hold, for not
reading the papers with more attention, but such is the
fact. It is true I was not then in the position of Attor-
ney-General ' • but had I been so it would not have made
the slightest differeece. Because, assuming the circum-
stances stated in that judgment to be entirely true, such
is the defective state of our law that Mr. James Sad-
leir d d not appear to be guilty of anything that
vould bring him within the arm of the criminal law.
If the statement be true that Jas. Sadleir gave his brother
credit, on the assets of the bank, to the amount of
200,000/ , no doubt that is a gross breach of trust to-
wards the shareholders; but, in common with many
other breaches of trust, it did not bring him within the
criminal law ; neither does the fact, if true, of his fur-
nishing the false and flourishing statement of Feb. last.
The result of my attention to that case is, that the crimi-
nal law is in a most unsatisfactory state ; you cannot
punish frauds of that kind directly ; the parties can only
be reached, where there is a common agreement, by the
circuitous mode of an indictment for conspiracy. No
lawyer who hears me will doubt what I state to be
correct, that on the 4th of March, assuming all that the
Master of the Rolls said to be true and capable of proof,
he had disclosed nothing that brought Mr. James
Sadleir, however morally culpable, within the range
of the criminal law. Nor did the Master of the Rolls
make the slightest allusion to any prosecution whatever.
On the sth of March I received a letter from the Master
of the Rolls, written on the 4th, immediately after he
had delivered tbat judgment. I read it to show what
the learned judge himself thought on that occasion. He
says, "My dear Solicitor,—l have just received yoer
letter, and answer by return of post. I have only con-
cluded the business of the Rolls to day." I noel not
trouble the house with the remainder ; it is an answer
to a letter of mine, in reference to a committee that was
sitting. If he had then thought that it was the duty of
the executive to institute a criminal prosecution one
would think that the very first thing that occurred to
him would be to meetion it in his letter. I have another
letter written by him on the 25th of March. He writes
me in detail on the same business ; but makes not the
slightest allusion to the Sadleir frauds, or to any duty on
the part of the Government. (Hear.) Bat something
more took p'ace. On the 31st of March I saw the Ma:-
ter of the Rolls here ; I saw him in this house ; I con-
versed with him under the gallery there for more than an
hour on the subject of this committee. I undertook to
procure for him certain papers to assist him in giving evi-
dence. I did en, and sent them to his hotel. I had several
communications with him, but in none of them, personal
or otherwise, did he for a moment suggest that there was
anything to be done on the part of the executive, or call my
attention to the Tipperary Bank case, and his observations
of the 4th March. (Hear.) Again, on the 2d April I had
accepted the office of Attorney-General ; and the pressure
of business upon me was such that I had to sacrifice all
personal considerations, and my constituents re-elected
me without my attendance. On my return here, on the
16th April, I received back from the Master of the Rolls
the papers I had furnished him with, with a complimen-
tary note, which lam unable to read—l have thrown it

had any idea of directing a prosecution against Jas. Sad-
leir for any crime connected with the Tipperary Bank,
that private examination was a most unwarrantable pro-
seeding. (Hear.) There were at that time several par-

Irish-office, Whitehall,
Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank Winding-up,
June 27, 185 G.
My dear Sir,--I thought it expedient. to have a consulta-
tion with the Attorney-General for England in relation to
the course to be pursued by the Crown in this case. Sir
A. Cockburn, Mr. Donohoe, and I met yesterday, and on a
full consideration of all the circumstances brought under
our notice by Mr. Donohoe, and reading the report of the
judgment of the Master of the Rolls, and the minutes ,
of consultation held in Dublin on Saturday and Monday
last, wo came to the conclusion that Mr. James Sadleir
ought to be prosecuted for conspiracy, and that such pro-
secution should be instituted and conducted by the public
prosecutor, i.e., by the Attorney-General. You must,
therefore, at once proceed to make the necessary inquiries,
and take the necessary steps to have Mr. Jas. Sadleir amen-
able. The principal informant for that. purpose should be
Mr. Wm. Kelly, late manager of the Tipperary Bank. I
enclose a memorandum from Mr. Donohoe, giving a sketch
of the heads to which Mr. Kelly's information should be
directed. I think that it would be practicable to obtain a
warrant against Mr. Sadleir, on the information of Mr.
Kelly alone. I write now in haste.—Yours faithfully,
The Crown Solicitor. J. D. FITZGERALD.
On the 28th that document was in the hands of Mr.
Kemmis. But did that active public officer do nothing
himself in the meantime? Yes, he took many seats in
the matter. But not only did I order a prosecution, but
I did that which I was not bound to do. I sketched
out with my own hand the form of information which I
thought should be made, It was only on the 4th of July
that Mr. Kelly was induced, and that by a sort of stra-
tagem, to swear the first information. On the 27th of
June I gave my final directions, but it was not until the
4th of July that informations of any kind could be ob-
tained. They were sworn on the morning of that day,
and a warrant issued and placed in the bands of the
county inspector where Mr. Jas. Sadleir was supposed to
be, and at the same time a duplicate warrant was sent to
this country. I myself was not idle here. I accidently
learned that Mr. T. Kemmis, the gentleman I have al-
luded to, was in London. By my directions he placed
himself in communication with the English shareholders,
and spent ten days in getting up the case, in order that
if Mr. Sadleir was amenable he might be tried at the Clon-
mel assizes, which will be held next week. Mr. Kemmis
will, at all events, be in a position to send up bills to the
grand jury, which will afford a foundation for future
proceedings. He also placed himself in communica-
tioa with the detective police, and a warrant was placed
in their hands for the arrest of Mr. Sadleir. Can any
one, sir, for a moment say that the justification which I
have now given, based as it is on documents, is not full,
complete, and satisfactory. (Cheers.) There is one matter
to which I must still refer. The hon. member for Mayo
asked me if Mr. Sadleir was amenable. I replied that if
he had left the country, it was not since the 17th or
18th of June. The reason why I said so was that the
place where he was supposed to be residing had been
closely watched by my directions, and information sent
me. It was reported to me that he was still living at
Lrnn's Hotel, in Bray ; but subsequent information
showed that the police had been deceived, and that it
was only his wife who was there. I also stated on the
Bth of July, in answer to a question, that I could not
tell when the warrant bad been issued. When Mr. Kem-
mis placed himself in communication with the police,
they asked, ' What are we to do with Mr. Sadieir if we
find him ?" "Arrest him." "But we have no warrant."
I then sent a telegraphic message to Dublin. The answer
' I got was "Information sworn, warrant issued, and
sent down to Tipperary." There is only one other cir-
cumstance to which I will call the attention of the
house—that is, as to my statement that I could not tell
whether Mr. Sadleir had left the country or not. On
the 9th of July, while in the house, I received a tele-
graphic message to this effect :—" If a rewar 1 is given
for the apprehension of James Sadleir, a party will come
to Dublin and give information of his whereabouts." I
showed that message to the Secretary of State and to my
right hon. friend the Secretary for Ireland, and with
their sanction sent this answer :—" Go to Col. Larcom ;
tell him to offer a reward; let it be liberal." The reward
was offered, and offered on the part of a Government
who are charged by a judge with having endeavoured to
screen a criminal because his capture might lead to dis-
closures. (Hear, hear.) As to whether Mr. Sadleir
is amenable or not, I believe he is not. I will con-
ceal nothing from the house. I received a letter on
Friday, with other documents, which led me to that
conclusion ; the letter says : "James Sadleir had not
the slightest apprehasion for himself till he read on the
4th of June the Master of the Rolle threats. He came
into his solicitor's office from Linn's, where he was
staying, with the paper in his pocket, and said, must
now either istand:oay ground or run.' " I said on Friday
night that if he had fled it was in consequence of the
language of the Master of the Rolls ; and I think there
never was language more calculated to alarm a criminal.
I cannot give the writer of this letter, but I have got a
clue to the facts from another quarter, and will prove
the statement it contains before a committee. .James
Sadleir was induced to remain for four days after that
up to Tuesday, the Bth of June, but for what purpose ?
On the 3d of June the Master of the Rolle gave the
English shareholders leave to file affidavits, making a
case not before made, and James Sadleir was induced to
remain to answer those affidavits, and his last act before
leaving was to swear an affidavit for the official manager
and the creditors in answer to the others. Having
sworn that affidavit he put his foot on board the steamer,
and I am not able to tell what has become of him since.
The letter I have read came to me from a gentleman
who, as soon as be found I was unjustly assailed, came
forward like a gentleman and a man of honour. The.
letter reached me on Friday, at the very moment I was
appealing in vain to the right hon. gentleman opposite
to postpone the discussion. I then stated—not as a
charge against the Master of the sells, but as a fact—
that Mr. Sadleir was frightened away by his irregular
and unwise observations. I have now gone through the
facts of the case, as they appear in the documents. This
morning I received a note from Messrs. Rogersons nt
Lincoln's-inn, gentlemen of whom I know nothing. [Mr.
MaLters—[ know them. They are most respectable so-
licitors.] They inform me that the affidavits of the Eng-
lish shareholders, on whom the Master of the Rolls relied,
did not leave England until the 7th or Bth of Jane, and
therefore could not have been before him on the 3d. I
have now, sir, gone through the facts of the case. I have
been obliged to take up the time of the house at an un-
warrantable length, but in such a case I was entitled to
some indulgence ; and I now appeal to hon. and righs
hon. gentlemen opposite, and to the house, whether any
one can for a moment say that the slightest imputation
can je‘tly remain on my character. Can it be said that
the Government of which, for some purposes, I am thee
representative, has been guilty of the base and disho-
nourable conduct of attempting to screen a criminal from
juetice ? I pledge my honour as a gentleman and a mem-
ber of this house that the Government never attempted
to screen Mr. Sadleir, and, for myself, I would rather
vacate the post I hold than act on behalf of any govern.
meat hat could act in such a way. These charges are
perfectly unfounded and untrue from the beginning to
the end. Although I have sat on the same side of the
house with James Sadleir and his brother John, there
was little personal communication between ue. I believe
there was not on their part any friendly feeling towards
me. There is only one matter to which I wish to advert,
but not as making any charge against the Master of the
Rolls. I deeply regret that I should have been brought
into collision with him. It is not becoming for a person
standing in the position I hold to be placed in antagon-
ism with a judge. But I appeal to the house whether,
when I was assailed by the hon. member for Mayo, I
went beyond the due freedom of speech. It is the right
and the duty of this house to canvass the conduct of a
judge. and I did so in a temperate and moderate manner.
I must express-my sincere regret that the learned judge
has adopted such a course as he has, and it must be re-
gretted by all interested in the maintenance of the dignity
of a court of justice. What is the object of Queen, Lords,
and Commons, of our army and navy, but to secure the
prcper administration of our laws. ? I deeply regret that
any judge should so far forget the dignity of his position
as to adopt such a course; and I still more regret that the
bar of Ireland; or rather some members of it, should, in
the sacred precincts of a fairt of justice, have polluted
their lips by joining in the ribald cheers which we are
told followed the observations of the Master of the
Rolls. I have now done, sir. I have only to thank
the house for the indulgence with which they have heard
me. My great desire has ever.been to obtain the good
opinion of the house, and I deeply regret if any expres-
sions of mine have given rise to this controversy, and
exposed them to the infliction of this long address.
(Loud cheers.) '
Mr. NAPIER said there was only one thing of which
he bad to complain in the course which had been taken
by the right hon. and learned gentleman, and that was
that, having such an explanation in his bands, an at-
tempt had been reads to force him (Mr. Napier) into a
difficult position as an accuser. When he, on a former
occasion, asked a question on the subject of the escape
of Mr. Sadleir, he was not aware that any accusation
had been made by the Master of the Rolls against the
Attorney-General. He had had no intention of making
any charge against the hon. and learned gentleman, and
was confident that after the explanation which had been
given, no charge oould be brought against him. (Cheers.)
But he felt bound to defend the Master of the Rolls,
whose indefatigable exertions bad made quite clear the
grees frauds which had been committed. (Hear.) The
Ma:ter of the Rolls, on examining the documents, found
that James Sadleir, in conjunction with Jobn Sadleir, in
1855, had contrived to get the English eharehold'ers
into a trap and ta cheat them. The case was complete
on the faericated report and the fabricated balance-sheet.
Having eiscovered these frauds, the Master of the Rolls
thought the per,ons connected with the executive Go-
vernment would, have interfered, and no doubt expressed
himself in strong terms. And
.he must say he thought
the authorities in Ireland had'been remiss in not commu-

tent Females at present existing or that may hereafter
be established. This was a serial question of great im-
portance which had been too long neglected. From in-
quiries he had made, the reformatories now existing were
found to be utterly inadequate to the occasion. Thou-
sands of penitent wretches were driven from the doors of
these ill-supported institutions. Institutions for the lame,
the blind, and all other unfortunate beings were estab-
lished ; and it was only in this exceptional case that an
adequate remedy was not provided. In the metropolis
there were 20,000 unfortunate females, a curse to them-
selves and to society Except suicide, they had no alter-
native but continuance in their wretched course of life.
He asked the house merely to come forward, as in the
case of schools, with pecuniary aid. The doors of mercy
ought not to be ajar, they ought to be wide open. They
came to the rescue of felons—of boys—of all—except the
unfortunate class. Assuming there were 200,000 of these
females in the country, it appeared that their lives did
not average above 7 years ; so that in London there was a
sacrifice of 3,000 of their lives, and Bikooo in the coun-
try. To meet this evil there had been 18 institutions in
London, of which two had latelyclosed for want of funds,
and 20 in the provinces. They were all poor institutions.
They afforded a shelter to only 1,695 females. Last year
there had been 3,693 applications, so that 2,598 had to
be thrown back into their career of vice. It appeared
in these institutions that the females there sheltered
showed proofs of industry and reformation. The
Government did grant- sums in aid to institutions for
females under fifteen years of age. Why should libe-
rality be confined to this age ? It was done under
the pretence that these last institutions were schools ;
then let them call all the institutions of this kind
schools. They had reformed their criminal code and their
prisons, they had established missions to negroes and
savages, and they neglected this unfortunate class at
home. He enumerated the necessary refusals by the vari-
ous institutions during the past year. His proposal was,
that there should be a Government grant equal to that
raised by private benevolence in each institution, thus
acting as a stimulus on that benevolence. If he should
not succeed at this period of the session, he should
bring forward the subject again and again till be suc-
ceeded in making a favourable impression on the house.
The SPEAKER said that such a motion should come
with the recommendation of the Crown.

OF TILE ROLLS IN IRELAND.
Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD—Sir, I take advantage of
the motion for the adjournment of the house, and pur-
suant to the notice I have already given, to call the at-
tention of the house to the charges made by the member
for the University of Dublin and the Master of the Rolls
(Ireland) relative to the escape from justice of a member
of this house charged with crime. I rise in the perform-
ance of a duty that every member of this house owes not
alone to himself but to the assembly of which he is a mem-
ber, viz , tbat of taking the earliest opportunity, when
any charge is made affecting his personal character, his
conduct as a member of this house, or his honour, of
making a statement to the house which may have the
effect of relieving him from such imputations. (Hear,
hear.) I have lost not a moment in adopting that
course, although I stand in this peculiar position, that I
am not aware that I have any assailant before me, for
the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Napier) has
adopted the extreme course, that whilst he has insinu-
ated a charge he declines to assert it until he has first
beard me, (Cheers.) Sir if, I could have brought this
question before the house in any shape in which I could
deal with it, I should have thought it my duty to do so.
If a breach of privilege had been committed I should
have felt it my duty to have brought it forward in that
shape, although the right hon. gentleman had still
shrunk from the performance of the task which be had
undertaken, but it was not open to me to do se. (Hear,
hear.) There was no other method open to me by which
I could meet the charge but this, and rather than re-
main until next session under the imputation which has
been insinuated against me as a member of the Govern-
ment and this house, I have preferred to take this
formal opportunity of relieving myself from the charge.
Whether I am mistaken I know not, but I think before
I sit down every gentleman iu this house who is influ-
enced by the feelings which ought to actuate gentlemen
as men of candour and high character will say, my ex-
culpation is full and complete. In order that the house
should understand my observations, it is well that I
should refer shortly to what has taken place, to what
is the imputation which has been Made against me, be-
t ire I mention the circumstance of my exculpation. The
house will recollect that in consequence of observations
that had fallen from the Master of the Rolls in Ireland,
while sitting on the judicial bench on the morning of
the sth of July last, a question was put to me by the
hon. and learned gentleman the member for Ennis.
killen, to which I gave an answer that has led to all
this controversy. The hor, and learned gentleman,
acting no doubt upon vh,,t he had heard and be-
lieved from others, said that I had accused the Master
of the Rolls in Ireland of being guilty of a neglect
of his judicial duty, and a violation of his oath as a
privy cpuncillor. In other words, he said I had made
the double charge against that learned judge of having
violated his judicial duty and broken the oath which
he bad taken as a privy councillor. I read on a former
occasion the statement I made in reply to that question,
taking it from the Times; but I have since referred to
three other papers, namely, the Morning lierald, the
Dublin Express, and the Dublin Evening Mail, and all
these papers, which do not in the least sympathise with
my poll:flea' views, give substantially the same account
of what I said as the Times. (The hon. and learned gen-
tleman then read these reports and continued.) When
charged with having been the means of allowing, permit-
ting, and conniving at the escape of James Sadleir, I
was not aware that he had evaded the hands of justice,

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Sir J. SHELLEY protested against a bill of such
great importance being brought on at so late an hour.
This bill affected Hampstead-heath, and on going into
committee on the bill he should ►move tho insertion of
the clauses introduced into the bill of last session, but
struck out of the bill by the House of L-ircls, preventing
the owner of Hampstead-heath from enclosing it and per-
mitting it to he built on.
Mr S. FITZGERALD cotnplaiued of the general
powers of this bill, especially that it conferred powers on
the Court of Chancery to sell settled estates. He also
objected to a bill of this importance bring forced through
the house at so late a priori of the session. He moved
the second reading of t he bill tbat day three months.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. Brewster, Q.C., and Mr.
O'Douohoe (with Mr. Kemmis, Crown solicitor, in attend-
ance), having met in consultation, are of opinion that
though the facts btated by the Master of the Rolls, in his
judgment "In re Ginger," would, if satisfactorily proved,
establish a prima facie case, upon which a prosecution for
conspiracy could be sustained against James Sadleir, yet
are further of opinion that the case is not one to call for
the interposition of the public prosecutor. Viewing the
question as a legal one, it appears more than doubtful
whether such a prosecution would be successful; it
could not be sustained without the evidence of persons
referred to in the judgment of the Master of the Rolls,
who, themselves, paticipated in the criminal acts enu-
merated, and who would therefore be at liberty to with-
hold their evidence on the ground that it might crimi-
nate themselves, an objection of which, di is probable that
they would avail themselves. 1 t would also appear that
the greater part of the information upon whieh the charges
of fraud and conspiracy are founded was obtained from the
persons implicated, including James Sadleir, and that they
made those disclosures before a Master of the Court of
Chancery, in aid of the winding-up proceeding, without
receiving any caution, and probably upon a reasonable ex.
pectation that statements made under such circumstances
would not be used for the purpose of acrirainal prosecution.
It has not heretofore been the practice in Ireland for the
public prosecutor to institute prosecutions against persons
accused offrauds on individuals, such cases have been left
to the parties aggrieved ; and though from the extent and
magnitude of the frauds imputed, this case might at first
sight appear to be an exceptional one, yet as none of the
persons defrauded have come forward to prefer any accusa-
tion, it seems inexpedient to depart from the general rule.
The fact that no one has sworn informations. or taken any
step to institute a criminal prosecution, affords a strong
presumption that those who are most interested in the
matter consider it would not be prudent to take such a
course; and though in the administration of criminal j us-
tice, the public prosecutor's dutyis to act without reference
or regard to the wishes or feelings of individvals, yet this is
only within his proper sphere of action, and ought not to
be extended to cases like this, where the crime imputed is
not in the proper sense one against the public, but a fraud
on individuals. It is not to be overlooked that all those

Lord R. GROSVENOR said he should oppose the
bill unless the omitted clauses of the bill of last session
were inserted in the_pre►ent bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the bill, and
deprecated the introduction into any publie act of a
clause directed against any private individual.
After a few words from Mr. Malins, Mr. Whiteside,
and Mr. Henley,
The amendment was negatived without a division, and
the bill was read a second time.

The other orders of the day were`then disposed of, and
;he house adjourned at quarter-past two o'clock.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—It is with pleasure we notice the daily
increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com-
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow-
ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1818.—
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention.
When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a
condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed,
and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suifermg
severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and
being compelled to have recourse to aperients every s,cond or
third clay; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than
seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice.
There was a giddiness in my head, and p singing in my right
car, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled
the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I
had pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat,
and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so
great that I could not remain in the same position for ten
minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed
to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three
inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's
Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and
salt ; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly
improved. and flatulency and constipation so far vanished
that I have not tasted a pill or drug of any kind
since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, and
less like a drunken man, &c.—JOIIN VASS, Land-steward.-

Colonel DUNNE moved an address to her Majesty
for a copy of the correspondence between the Minister
at War and General Beatson, lately employed as c,,m-
mander of a Turkish Contingent, as to certain charges
preferred against that officer. It would be remembered
that last year General Beatson was engaged in organ-
iqing a body of Bashi-bazouks in Turkey. He (Colonel
Dunne) had had some experience in Turkey, and he
icipated that no success would attend General Beat-
son's exertions ; but he brought his ITcea into such a
state of discipline that if they had gone out on active
service, instead of being sent to Scutari, he believed
they would have been found very useful. General Beat-
son was recalled, a.,d his contingent was handed over to
General Vivian. General Beatson was accused of ex-
citing a mutiny amongst his officers, and with obtaining
signatures to a round robin to force the Government to
continue him in his command. General Beatson heard
nothing of these charges for two or three months, and it
was hardly to be supposed that such conduct on the
Part of the War-office should be passed over unnoticed.
Up to this time the gallant officer did not know whether
the War.office considered him guilty of those charges or
not. (Hear, hear.) He thought the whole of the accu-
sations should be laid upon the table, and given to the
public, so that General Beatson might have an opportu-
nity of meeting them —a course for which he was amply
prepared. If general Beatson were guilty, he should
be punished ; if ho were innocent, he should be ab-
olved, (Hear, bear.) Tie was very anziona that the

_
who participated in the frauds charged are now assisting
the officiarnianager in his endeavours to wind up the con-
cero, and realise something for the creditors, and it is not
impossible that a criminal prosecution would seriously af-
fect his proceedings, and ten,l to inflict afurther pecuniary
loss upon the creditors and other sufferers by the bank.
Under these circumstances, and especially consilering the
limits within which the public prosecutor in frelan't has
hitherto acted in instituting criminal prosecutions at the
public expense, this case does not call for his interposition.

My letter of the 22d was on• the way, and when Mr.
Kenvnis received it he called these three gentlemen Vige-
tlar on Monday, the 23d, to reconsider the case. I wOl

read the 'ninnies of that confereuce. [The hon. a .d

was forwarded to me on the same day, and reached ine
on the 24th of June. There is great weight in the argu•

J. D, Paul, Strahati, and Bates, and also in the case of

nietting with the Attorney-General at an earlier period.
The Master of the Rolls wns under the impression that
no steps had been taken agaialit James Sadleir, and not
knowing the facts which bad now been stated, he was
sure the house would make some allowance for the

warmth of his feelings, when obiervatiorte bad been

made that the escape had taken place in consequence of
Lis observations. He could only add, that whilst ex.
