COMMONS ENCLOSURE FILL.

On the motion of the &al a' CARLISLE, this
passed throur,Pa Committee.
C A RRICK-ON-SHANNON UNION.

Lord BEAUMONT bri.ugnt up the report of this
Committee. He and several other Members of the Com-
mittee dissented from the reporr, a: they did not think
the ev:der.ce bore out the severe observations made on
certain of tle officers. He suggeted that they should
adopt the pr,:ctiee of the other 1-1011 e, and hsve the
minutes of proceedings before Commitrecs reported.
Lord WI-I ARNCLIFFE thought that all witnesses
should have the power of ditTenbiug with the adminis-
tration of the oath, or, if sworn, that the witness should
be sworn bef ,re the Committee.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it would be
exceedingly useful if they were to adopt the prawn t
the 'liaise a Commons with regard to the minutes of
proceedings bef,re Commitn ea, as k ugg, dby his
Noble Friend (Lord Bsaurnont), and in another session,
unl,,sz he heard valid reasons against toe praclice he
Aould certainly support any proposition to that Lffect:
lie was nut prepared to disienae with the sweiring of

wit noasts.
Lord MONTEAGLE thought that there might be
great reforms introduced into their proceedings h, fur.'
Committee. He was surprised to hear from his Noble
Friend the Chairman of the Committee. an expression o•
dissent from that report. The report had gem-rally been
considered as the report of the Commit ea. and he would
explain how it came that the datnrence tduk place. The
Committi e had been appointed in opposition to the
wishes of the Govo.i.munt. The majority consisted of
those who had attended to the evidence. and the intnority,
on whose behalf his Noble Fsiend had adopttd this
unwise course of 'milking a protest, consisted of those
members of the Cabinet who had at•t-nd,l at the con-
clusion, but who had not heard the evidence.

The E,srl of MINTO, as ()Li! i f ibe wt msers of that

Committee allotted to by the Noble Load, beggtd to
state thlt ho had atttnded during a great por-
ion of the time that Committee was sitting. and that
be had taken a part in all-the proceedings, and had heard
ati thc evidence relating t,.) ,hose ritaders in which Le
dissented from the majority of tho o,tunittee, and he
hoped their Lordships would attend lather to the evi-
dence than to the report.
Lord LSEAU MON xpinined. His Noble Friend

was incorrect in stating that ho did nut lay the report on
the table as the report of the Committ, e. lie distinctly
stilted that he hid it on the table as the report of that
Committee. The Noble Lord then proceeded to detail
the course adopted by the Committee, and declared that
the grossest false swearing and coutraiictions had taken
place in the evidence taken before the Committee, and if he
rejected this damned evidence he could ut,t come to the
c,mclusions to which the daring spirit of his Noble
Friend (Lord Munteagle) had come.
