" Mr. Lynch, Q.O , in opening the commission, said—
Before probeeding to discharge the dutiee which devolve
upon us under the warrant of the Lord Lieutenant, I
wieh to state the nature of the inquiry which we are di
rectod to make, and, that it may be understood, the
course. of Proceeding that we intend to adopt. A. memo-
rial ex';ensively signed by, I am informed, most of the
leading gentlemen of this city was forwarded to the Lord
Lieutenant, and by it it was stated that the memorialists
entreated attention to the occurrences which have taken
place idnce the 12th of July. They stated that riots had
occurred which lasted for seven days in succession, and
called for a searching investigation into the origin of the
riot .. At the time of the presentation of that memorial
the riots alluded to in it had occurred; but of course we
all mtist regret to have to add that since that memorial
was presented a state of things even something worse
continued to exist in the town, and I am sorry to be ob-
liged to say, Trom such information as haebeen furnished
to us, that up to the present time this state of things
exist:'. In consequence of that memorial the Lord
Lieutenant directed to us a warrant desiring us to hold
a court of inquiry.. The terms of that warrant I shall
now read. [Nlr. Lynch then read the warrant directing
himself and Mr. Smythe to hold a court of inquiry or.
the 14th of September and following days,-to inquire
into and investigate all matters connected with the
origin and character of the riots and disturbance,: which
commenced in Belfast on the 13th of July, and continued
thereafter for several successive days, and were renewed
on the 6th of September, and continued for some days
since, and the consequences which have resulted from
such riots and disturbances ; also to inquire into the
local arrangements for the preservation of the peace, the
suppression of the riots, and the force usually availahle
there for such purposes, and the adequacy of the means
for the restoration of order and tranquillity.] Pursuant
to this warrant we proceed to hold the inquiry. But; I
think it necessary fully to sxplain that, in conducting
this inquiry, there is no view whatsoever to bring hods°
conviction or punishment to any individual in respect to
acts which have previously been committed. This com-
mission is not intended to be brought in .aid of ahy
prosecution to be instituted against persona for an in-
fraction of the law. It is not our intention at all to fix
guilt upon individuals. That matter will be for the
ordinal y tribunals. Oar purpose is a more general and,
to us, isifinite ly more grateful one. It is intended to
have an operation for the benefit of all, and to try and
devise means for the protection of the town, which has
hitherto been endangered. There is no man of right
feeling who must not regret the state of things which
exists and has existed here for some time. How such a
state of. things could have arisen in a town like this—
remarkable for commerce and everything that marks
refinement and progress—fide one with surprise and
regret. Every man of right mind will feel it,his dirty
and interest to do everything possible in slowing
how this state of things has originated, , tracing,
if possible, the origin of these proceedings. We
must naturally enter, I fear, 'into some things `we..
Lutist all regret—some matters connected with politic:,
and some matters distantly connected with religion.
Such inquiries are only made, not that any rankling
feelings may be created, but that such may if possible be
prevented. In such a state of things between conflicting
parties it is likely that, as in cases between individuals,
no one party almost is wholly blameless, nor any wholly
to blame. Ido hope and trust that the very fact of men
coming before an impartial tribunal on both sides, and
telling th-ir grievances, or fancied grievances, will in-the
end lead them absolutely to see that there is still in this
town, as elsewhere, a 0 nnmon ground of brotherhood for
different parties and different religions. Mr. Lynch then
proceeded to say that the court would be open to all
parties as witnesses, and that they would take a chrono-
logical course, beginning with July, and coming up to,
the present time."
Tho pretracted nature of the inquiry may be
learnt from the fact that Mr. O'Rourke sated that
there were no fewer than 76 witnesses to be brought
forward on the Roman Catholic side while those
to be produced for the Protestant party ware pretty
nearly equal. After some preliminary skirmishing
between counsel and the Court, in reply to Mr,
O'Rourke,
f' Mr. Lynch said the commissioners would not close
the inquiry upon any particular branch until they rose.
In order that every opportunity might he afforde I for a
full investigation, evidence would be received at any
stage upon any breech of the subject.
" Mr. M`Me.ehan observed that there would be a:diffi-
culty in getting witnesses to volunteer evidence which
might implicate others:
" Mr. Lynch.—Our object is not to obtain evidence
for the convicticn of any person. We wish to learn all
the facts, and, having learnt them, to be enabled to sug-
gest a remedy that will be for the public good.
" Mr. Rea mentioned that the inquiry differed in one
material respect from that which took place in reference
to the Dolly's brae affair. There only one issue had to
be tried e here there were 50 different issues.
" Mr. Smythe remarked that there were informations
in the Dolly's-brae case.
" Mr. Rae said there were not. Lord Roden and the '
Messrs. Becres took informations against no ono. `hey
were the real offenders. The inquiry -by Mr. Berwick
produced the best results. Lord Roden and theßecreses
were dismissed from the commission of the peace, and
an act of Parliament was passed in the mxt session in
reference to Orange processions, and ever since there
had been no rioting in that part of the country: ye
hoped the same course would be taken in this instance,
for nothing lees than legislation would prevent a recur-
.rence of the scenes which had since July last disgraced
Belfast.
" It was finally arranged that the inquiry should
commence this day at 12 o'clock."
An indepencbmt Protestant journal (the Belfast
Mercury) has the follthving remarks upon the sub-
ject of street preaching generally
•
" Tho whole origin of these riots is to be traced to the
indiscretion of those of those who desired to follow street
preaching on the Sabbath. Many things may be lawful
but not expedient, and street preaching is one of thorn.
The right exits in its perfect plenitude, and_it is credit-
able to our free constitution that it should so exist ; but
society is held together by a series of compromiges be-
tween the plenitude of individual natural rights and the
public weal ; we must all content to sacrifice somewhat
of our individual liberties for the general good govern-
ment and wellbeing of the commonwealth. It was,

perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
