THE CASE OF MR. STUART.

Lord CLEMENTS asked her Mejeety's Minis-
ters why the prytection of the police was to be
removed from David Stuart in Vie county of Leitrim,
and why the Government required him to emigrate er
otherwise to provide for his personal safety, and to
what extent the prosecption of Protestants was to
be permitted! The nobre lord then proceeded to impute
partiality to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in granting
-greater protection to ltoman Catholics than Protestants.
Lord GRANVILLE said the universal esteem in
which the noble Lird, the Lord-Lieutenant of Iri land,
was held was the best answer be could give to the
observatioes of the nail lord on his lordship.
Win' respect to the question the noble lord bad
asked, the circumstances were as follows :- Two years
te,;o Mr. Stuarts house was broken open, and agun taken
away. There bring reason to euppose that 'an ill will
against that gentleman existed the Government di-
rected that two policemen should reside with him.
(ricer.) He had given notice of his intention
to emigrate, and directions were given, orderii g the
police to return to their quarters. Mr. Stuart, however,
altered his plans and did not emigrate, and notwith-
standing the expense, the Government had give',
direc ions for the police to return to that gentleman's
houie. There was nointention on the par; of the Govern-
ment to remove the protection given to Mr. Stuart.
Viscount DUNGANNON asserted that the Executive
Government had displayed a deoided partisanship in
favour of Rqrnan Catholics, and denied evenhanded
justice to the Protestants.

Lord CLENIENTS said that if their lordships would
grant him a committee he would prove the assertions he
bad made.

Earl GRANVILLE said if the noble lord moved the
appointment of a select committee, and proved to the
satiAaction of the • house that the charges were
ntt frivolous he should have no objection to the appoint-
ment of such a committee.
