ELECTION CO IMITTEES.

MAYO.
(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
EXAMINATION OF ARCHBISHOP MACHALE.

Dr. Mac Hale was next called. Much interest
was manifested at the name of this gentleman being
announced. The committee-room was greatly
crowded, and several ladies were present.
Ma. James—What is your Christian name, Dr.
Mac Hale ?
Dr. MacHale—John.
What is your rank and title in the Roman Ca-
tholic Church ?
Dr. MacHale—Archbishop of Tuam.
Mr. Seholefield (chairman)—Dr. Mac Hale, that
is a title which we cannot recognise here. The
committee wish to pay you every respect • we are
willing to address you as Archbishop Mac Hale, but
we cannot recuguise you as Archbishop of Tuam.
Dr. Mac Hale—l believe and I know that I am
Archbishop of Tuam ' • but if the committee do not
wish to recognise me by that title, I am satisfied to
be known as Archbishop Mac Hale.
Dr. Mac Hale then proceeded, in answer to ques-
tions by Mr. James, to say that the priests in his
diocese were appointed to their livings by him. He
had the power to remove any priest from his living
for canonical reasons, but of course he should not
exercise that power capriciously. He also ap-
pointed the archdeacons of his diocese. Witness
was present in September, 1856, at the laying the
foundation of a chapel at Louisburg. Father Cur-
ley was there, and Mr. G. H. Moore, the sitting
member, who was introduced to the people by
Father Curley. He had not any particular recol-
lection of Mr. Moore making a speech after the
religious ceremony was over, but thought he did.
Witness did not remain till Mr. Moore concluded
his speech, and heard but very little of it. There
was a meeting of the bishops and clergy connected
with Mayo held at Tuam in March last. [The
resolution adopted at that meeting, which has been
already been adverted to in the evidence of Sir R.
O'Donnel, was here handed to the witness.] He
said there was a casual meeting of bishops and
priests at his house, after attending the consecra-
tion of the Bishop of Galway that day.
The witness was asked by Mr. James if he signed
that resolution. He refused to answer that question,
but if counsel put the manuscript into his hand, he
should say at once whether he signed it or not. He
did not shrink from anything he had done. He
did sign a resolution, but he believed the resolution
handed him in the newspaper was not the resolu-
tion he signed. The purport of the resolution he
did sign was to support Mr. Moore ; but he did not
think there was any mention in it of Col. Higgins.
Mr. Swift, late member for Sligo, was at that meet-
ing. He believed Father Conway was there. He
was not sure that Father Ryan and Father Curley
were there, but they may have been. There were
a good many priests there. Witness himself drew
up the resolution he signed. Mr. Swift did wit-
ness the honour of calling upon him that day, as he
occasionally did. Witness gave no directions as to
any particular medium for the publication of that
resolution. Witness went to Castlebar on the no-
mination day, but he did not go to the nomination.
He went to the priest's hou,e, and returned home
on the following day. He did not think that while
he was in Castlebar he went to Armstrong's Hotel.
He was in Tuam, and not in Castlebar, during the
polling days. He had been to Father Conway's
house at Ballinrobe since the election at a visitation.
Witness was invited to a dinner given to Mr.
Moore, at Westport, after the election. He did
not go, but sent a letter to excuse his attendance.
Witness gave no directions for such a purpose as
that Col. Higgins' petition against Mr. Moore
should he read from the altars of the different
chapels, but he had no doubt it was read in some
of the chapels.
Mr. James—Have you a right to suspend a
priest who should denounce a candidate from the
altar ?
Dr. MacHale—That might be a very extrava-
gant right.
Mr. James—Have you the right ?
Dr. MacHale—What do you call a denuncia-
tion ?

• Mr. James then read a portion of the evidence
of a witness who stated that a priest had said " the
' curse of God would come down upon any man who
voted for Col. Higgins."
Dr. Mac Hale said he should not give any decided
opinion upon that or any isolated case until the
whole particulars of the ca,e came before him, be-
cause it might hereafter come before him in his ju-
dicial capacity. No case had come before him in
a regular way of complaint against any priest for
denouncing Colonel Higgins from the altar. It
was wrong, and contrary to the rules of the Catho-
lic Church, to denounce any one by name from the
altar. He had subscribed 101. to the Moore In-
demnity Fund, and thought it a duty to do so.
He had never heard it stated, as a witness before
this committee said, that a priest in his diocese had
declared from the altar that he should not give ab-
solution to any one who voted for Higgins ; he
never heard that till he saw it in the newspaper,
since he came to London. Witness did not recol-
lect calling upon a gentleman to ask him to stand
for Mayo and say to him that he should adopt him
and return him. He would not say he did not,
but he believed he did not, because it would be
presumptuous in him to say so.
Cross-examined by Mr. M. Smith—He thought
it a right and a duty to express his opinion on po-
litical questions, particularly with regard to the
elections of members of Parliament, because he con-
sidered-their duties were most important, and in-
volved questions of morality as we as politics ; be-
cause it depended upon them whether the country
should have good or bad laws, or whether it might
have such a penal code as Ireland had long been
afflicted with.

Colonel North asked if the witness thought it
right that violence should be resorted to to carry
out the election of a particular candidate ?
. _

Dr. Mac Hale said, with the permission of the
committee, he should read to them a pastoral la-
ter which he had issued to his diocese, and the com-
mittee would be able to judge for themselves his
opinion on that point.
It being now announced that the Speaker was at
prayers, the committee adjourned until 11 o'clock
this morning.
