MAYO MAGISTRACY.

Mr. RUTTIVEN moved for a copy of the memorial
ir rented to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by William
Murphy, of Nlayo, complaining of very severe and illegal
punishment inflicted upon hint by order of certain ma..
gistrates in that county, and of the official correspairlence
which that memorial had occasioned. His f,bitret was to
bring mailer the notice of Parliament the very oppressive
conduct of those magistrates—particularly of a R,v.
Storey—towards the memorialist, which was too true a
comment upon the memorable declaration of Lord Reties-
dale. that tr Ireland there was one law for the rich and
another for the poor.—(Hear.) The Hon. Gent'eman
then entered into a statement, from which it appearvl that
Murphy was twice confined in the public etualis, under
circumstances of unnecessary viol nce and severity, for the
offence of" insolence towards the Rev: Mr. Storey;'' that
in adence ajnaunting to some warm language, reprobatory of
that rev. magisirate's zeal in the exaction of his tithes.
dot ontent with thus twice inflicting upon Alurphy the
punishment of the stocks, the rev. geneem in compelled
tie ,ri.oner to carry the stocks by himself front the piece
of his confinement to that in which they were usually kept
Hear), and his cruelty was abetted by his brother ma-
g ,tra ea.

M:. STANLEY was free to a Inalt, that on inquiry by
t ,e Lord Chancellor of Ireland into the circumstances of
Murphy's case, that Nuhle and Learn. d persen declared,
in an official communication to the Lord Lieutenant of
the county of Mayo, that the epithet of the nigistrates
was " intemperate and highly indiscreet."—(Hear.) He,
however, did not think it so culpable as to induce him to
deprive those gentlemen of the commission of the peace;
and tin retore left it to the Marquis of Sligo, the Lord
Lieutenant of Mayo, to formally reprimand them for their
miscon Hear. )
Colon] PERCEVAL should be ready to acquiesce in any
eulogium on the Lord Lieutenants' Bill if di measure bad
b,. n curried into effect with fairness and impartiatity.
In answer to a question from an BUN. MemßEit,

Mr. CRA3IPTON state:', that the Lords Lieutenant of
counties hail the power to dismiss Magi.trates from the
commission, with the concurrence of the Lorti Chancellor.

Mr. JONES thought that the Hon. Member (Mr.
Rutliven) wee not justified in occupying the time tit the
}louse with the consideration of so trivial a matter as that
which he had introduced.

Mr. HUNT was Wad to learn that Magistrates in Ire-
land were called to account for their conduc,,, and he only
wished that they were treated in the same manner in this
country. They had too much liberty allowed them of
disposing of easel by summary pm, ss; and many a poor
man was eternally sent for three months—(Laughter)—
to the tread Mill, without trial by jury, and in violation of
Magna Charts and the Bid of Rights.
Mr. RUTaIVEN, after a few words, withdrew his mo-
tion.
At the request of Mr. STANLEY,

Mr. DIXON consented to postpone his motion relative
t:s the British claims on the Brazlian G ,vcroment (which
stood for this night) until Thursday, the 12th of April.
Mr. M. O'FERRALL moved for a copy of the corre-
spondence with Dublin Castle, requiring troops to be sent
into the county nt Kildare, on the days appointed to bold
meetings to petition against the tithe system, at the follow-
ing places: Nurrymore, Suncroft, Dallitore, Mgaastereven,
and Rath more. The Hon. Member said, that V.e object
of his motion was to discover upon whose rekr&entation
it 'sad been thought necessa-y to send these troops into the
county of Kildare. If it should appear that the Lord
Lieutenant f the county had not been consulted, he
should then feel, as one of those members why had sup.
Vocal the Lord Lieutenants' bill, the oNtot of which was
t„ place undtr the care of the Lord Lieutenants the peace
of their respective counties, that he bad just cause tu com-
plain of the conduct pursued by the Irish Government.

M r. STANLEY could not Consent to the production of
the returns moved for. It did not appear that the troops
bad at all inteifered with the meetings which they were
ee ut to attend ; and the correspondence of which the Hon.
Member desired to have a copy was of too confidential a
n+turc to be made public. There was no person to whose
opinion he was more ready to defer, than the Noble Person
at the Head of the county of Kildare, but he must repeat
that it was net for Ministers of the Crown to disclose the
inMrmation on which they acted in moving troops.
After a few words from Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. SHELL,
Mr. M. O'FERRALL would not pruss his motion,
which was accordingly withdrawn.

The report of the-iilarine Mutiny Bill was brought up.
The Consolidated Fund (3,000,0000 Bill was read a
third time, and pas'ed.

The Indemnity Bill was read a third time, and passed.
The Malt Drawback Bill was read a third time, and
passed.
REGISTRY OF DEEDS (IRELAND) BILL.

The House then went into a Committee on the Re-
gistry of Deeds (Ireland) Bill.
Mr. JEPHSON m.-wed that the salary of the registrar
(Mr. Moore) be 1,5001. a year. The Hon. Member de.
tailed the various improvements which bad been made in
the office by this UM, and stated that Mr. Moore had been
given to understand that be was to receive 1,5001. a year,
and a Treasury minute to thateffect was transmitted to him.

Mr. LEADER and Mr. JAMES GRATTAN opposed the
increase of salary from 1,2001. to 1,5001.

Mr. M. O'CONNELL made a ftw observations, which
we could not hear.

Mr. CRAMPTON .aid that Mr. Moore had an equi-
table right to 1,500/. a year. Ile had been appointed at
that salary, anel a Treasury minute I,f the late Govern-
ment was passed to that effect, though it appeared that
another Treasury minute of the same date was recorded,
by which the salary was fixed at 1,2001., which Air.
Moore had since received under protest.

Mr. S. RICE stated that the'rninute of Treasury fixing
the salary at 1,5001., he understood had not passed the
Treasury at all, but had been issued by a mistake of the
clerk. He denied that Mr. Moore had any equitable claim
to 1,5001., but, con idering the changes which had been
made in the office, the additional duty imposed upon the
registrar, he thought the public would gain mire than
the 3001. a year. If it was the case of a newly-created
office, he should think 1,200!. a vtetr enough.
Mr. WYSE supported the mo:ion. He, however,
thought the increase of salary should be confined to Mr.
Moore only, and that provision shoul l he made that his
successor should not have more than 1,2001. per annum.
Mr. SHELL felt it his duty to move as an arnemitn-nt,
that the sum of 1,200/. should be inserted in the clause in
place of the stun of 1,5g0/.
_ _

Mr. LEFROY supportvd the original motion.
After a few war& from Mr. SHAW in support of the
original motion,

Mr. JEPHSON said he- was completely in the bands of
the House, and he felt that in thus bringing the' 'natter
before it he had discharged his duty to the public.
The amendment was then put, and the Gallery cleared
fur a division ; when the nu,rbers appeared—
For the amendment 23

On our re-admission into the Gallery, we found ti e

NISI PRIUS COURT (DUBLIN) BILL.
On the motion that the li,use resolve itself into a Corn -
ruitt,e on the Ni.i Prius Court (Dublin) Bid,
Mr. M. O'CONNELL denounced this Bill as a j,h,
and moved that it be cornmittt d that day six months.
Mr. CRAMPTON would only make one ob.ervation in
reply to the speech of the !too. Member for Clare; and
that was, that a gro,ser libel was never uttered than the
i;dlltt,.: this Bill a job.

Air. O'CONNEIL—" A4initted, if truth be a libel."
T: lion. Nl,mber teen declared his intention of dit,liog
the House upon the, ameniment.

Strangers Nt• er e then orders! to withdraw; hut it
having been found that there were not 40 Memhers pre-
sent, the House adj,urned It twelve o'clock.

Ws R. --" These sketches are among the liveliest specimens of
military description that we have happened to meet with any
where. Lord Munster's picture of Soult's flight from Oporto
may rank with the best pages of `Cyril Thornton,' or The

of a humane and gallant mind—an enthusiastic soldier of Wel-
