IRELAND.

toIJBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
MR. SMITII O'BRIEN:

After a • dreary absence of nearly-, seven years'
from his native land, Mr. William Smith- O'Brien
reached Dublin this afternoon, and took up his
temporary residencs at Sheartirne Hotel, St.
Stephen's-green. He is in excellent. health and
apparently in good spirits. --
TYE MASTER OF THE ROLLS AND THE IRISH ATTORNEY-
GENERAL.
'
The following is 'a. Tull report of what may be
considered the reply of the Master of the Rolls to
the observations made by the Irish Attorney-
General, in his place in Parliainent, with reference
to the adoption of ulterior proceedings in the case
of Mr. John Sadleir. The- substance of• this re-
markable address was forwarded yesterday by
telegraph. It was delivered at the sitting of the.
Court in the morning apl,opos to--the matter of
John Ginger anathe,English shareholders :,---
" I have just given in the order inthis case to the
registrar. There are-a great number of affidavits -and
documents entered on the order., but as a consentr hes
been madd a rule of Court, signed by the official maria-
ger 'and by alri3OSt all the English shareholders, that the
ultimate decision in the, present, case shall govern the
other cases, with the exception of two or. three, it,
is, right that all the MEdavits and docu-
tne4s which can throw any light, on the. mat.
ter should be entered. on the . order. The,con,
Bent. .is a very proper arrangement to have been en-
tered.itito, as it will save a vast amount of expense. •!ilsky
I now inquire, on the part of the public, whether infor-
mations have been sworn in respect of the facts disclosed
in this case ? If so, have any effectual or bona fide steps
been taken to make any of the parties implicated amen-
able ? Is it intended to prefer a bill of indictment at
the next. ClOamel Assizes', where some of the overt acts

were committed 7 May I further inquire what is the,
duty of a Privy Councillor ? In Blackstone's Commen-
taries. vol. i., page 230, he says--' The duty of a Privy
Councillor appears, from the oath of office, which con,
sists 'of seven articles—lst. To,advise the King accord-_
ing to the best of his cunning and discretion. 2d. To
advise for the King's honour and,the good of the public,
without partiality, through affection, love, need, doubt,
or dread. 3d. To keep the King's counsel secret. 4th.
To ivoid corraption.. ;sth. To he'p and strengthen the
execution of.what shall be there resolved. 6th. To with
stand all persons who would attempt the contrary. And
lastly, in general, 7thly. To observe, keep, and do all
that a good and true councillor ought to do to his Sove-
reign Lord:' Is there anything in the duty, as thus
stated, requiring.a Privy Councillor to obtrude his ad-
vice secretly and .unasked, where the responsible ad-

visers of the Government remain pa.33ive, and where the

general facts were matter of public notoriety, and the de-
. tails established byaffidavitsand docarnentsas much open
. to the responsible advisers of the Government as they were
to me? I have reason to belie velhat not a copy of an affi-
davil. of of any document was obtained by the direction
of the
.law advisers of the Government from the
Master's office, or from the c.fficial manager, until on or
after the 20th of June, the day I gave judgment in this
case, although long prior to that date I had called atten•
tion to the factthat the Government had made no sign,
notwithstanding the notoriety of the fraills of the Tip-
.perary Joint_ Stack Bank. If the Irish Government
were ignorant-of all the details, it was their own. fault.
If the Crown Solicitor had been directed to communi.
nate with me, befere or after I had given judgment, I
should have referred him to the several affidavits. and
documents, and given him the dates and particulars of
each. I did not obtrtCe advico or information privately
first, because it was no part of my duty; and, secondly,
because I believed then, and believe now, that it would
have received no attention whatever from the Govern-
ment, for reasnns which the,publicswell know. I shall
only add that,-if no bona fide-proceeding be taken at the
next Clonmel Assizes, the result will be that, the duty
of a Privy Councillor and the nature and the meaning
of the oath will possibly meet with more discussion than,
the Irish Government may be aware of.. There is one
other matter which I omitted to advert to in giving jadg-
inent—and that is the examination of Mr. James Sad.
leir, by the Master, in his private chamber, no other
perinn, as I understand, Laving been present, except
the official manager and his counsel and solicitor. That
proceeding has been much disapproved of, and I am
satisfied that the Master would now concur with me
that it is to be regretted it took place. It can scarcely
be considered to have been a purely voluntary examina-
tion, unless Mr. James Sadleir was very strictly cautioned
that it inigbt begiven in evidence against him ;and if not the
examination should not, according to the principles of
our law, be used directly or indirectly to his prejudice.
I am entirely ignorant of the contents of Vogt examina-
tion, and, as it has not boen brought under may notice
during the argument, I have thought it better not to call
,r it, but to decitle the question of fraud upon the
affidavits and documents entered on the order. Every
fact stated by me on giving judgment is established by
reference to those affidavits and documents. I have de-
rived no aid or assistacce from such private examination,
being altogether ignorant of the nature and particulars
of it. If the examination explained away the facts tie
tailed in my judgment, counsel for the official manager
would, ,I presume, have brought it under the considera-
tion of the Court. The Master, not having entered the
examination on his order, did not, of course, form his
opinion upon the contents of such examination, being
aware that there would be an appeal. The affidavits
and documents on which he decided are entered on his
order. The appeal in this case against my order may, if
the Lord Chancellor thinks fit, be disposed of during the
present sittings."
