(FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY, JAN. 22
COURT OF QUEEN'S BE.NCIL

Queen by undoebieti right and by hereditary descent, of Ire-
land ; and her heirs and successors for ever.
" The people of Ireland recognise, acknowledge, and main-
tain, and will continually preserve and uphold, all the preroga-
tives of her Majesty, and of her heirs and successors, belonging
to, and inherent in, the Imperial Crown of Ireland ; and they
will true allegiance bear, pure, undivided, and indivisible, to
her Majesty, her heirs and successors for ever.
" Secondly—The people of Ireland acknowledge, and will
maintain and preserve for ever, the privileges, hereditary and
personal, of the Peers of Ireland, together with the legislative
and judicial authority of the Irish House of Lords, and the ex.
ereise of the prerogative in augmenting and limiting the peer-
age, as the same did of right exist before the year 1800.
" Thirdly—The people of Ireland do firmly insist upon the
restoration of the Irish House of Commons, consisting of three
hundred representatives of the Irish people—and claim in the
presence of their Creator, the right of the people of Ireland to
ouch restoration.
" They have submitted to the Union as being binding as a
law ; but they declare solemnly that it is not founded on right
or on constitutional principles; and that it is not obligatory
upon conscience. They agree with the Tory Attorney-General
Saurin, that the only binding power of the Union is the strength
of the English domination. They also agree with him that
resistance to the Union is in the abstract a duty ; and the ex-
hibition of that resistance a mere question of prudence.' They
will therefore, resist the Union b) all legal, peaceful, and con-
stitutional means.
" Fourthly—The plan for the restoration of the Irish Parlia-
ment is as follows :-1. That county members shall be in-
creased to 173 in the manner hereinafter specified. 2. That
there should be 127 members returned from cities and towns
in the manner hereinafter mentioned. 3. That the county of
Carlow, being the only county in Ireland with less than 100,000
inhabitants, should get an increase of one member, so as to have
three representatives; that every other county having above
109,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of two members ;
that every county ranging above 150,00 t; inhabitants, should
get an increase of three members; that every county ranging
above 250,000 inhabitants, should get an increase of four mem-
bers ; that the county of Tipperary having more than 400,000
inhabitants, but less than 500,000, should get an increase of
eight members ; that the county Cork having more than
706000 inhabitants, should get an increase of ten members.
" F ifthly—With respect to the towns and cities, it is pro-
posed that the city of Dublin, having more than 200,080 inha-
bitants, should have eight representatives—four for the parts
north of the Liffey, and four for the parts south of the Liffey.
" That the University of Dublin should continue on the
basis of its present constituency, to send two members.
" It is proposed that the city of Cork, having more than
100,000 inhabitants, should have five members.
" That the city of Limerick and town of Belfast, having
respectively more that 50,000 inhabitants, should send four
members each.
" It is proposed that the town of Galway; and the cities of
Waterford and Kilkenny, having respectively more than 20,000
inhabitants, should send each three members to Parliament.
" That other towns having about 7,000 inhabitants, should
each send two members to Parliament; and that forty-nine
other towns, neat highest in the ratio of population, should
send one member each.
" Fur schedule of places to return members—their relative
population— and the number of members to be assigned to each
—the reader is referred to preceding Report, p. 4 and 5.
" The population is taken from the returns of 1831, which
having been made for a different purpose, and without any refe-
rence whatever to the repeal of the Union, furnish a scale of
unquestionable impartiality.
`• Sixthly—lt is proposed that the right of voting should be
what is called Household Suffrage' requiring six months' resi-
dence in the counties, with the addition in the towns of mar-
ried men resident for twelve months, whether householders

or not.
" Seventhly—lt is proposed that the mode of voting for
members should certainly be by ballot.
" ighthly—The Monarch, de facto, of England, at all time
hereafter, whoever he may be, shall be the Monarch, :de jure,
in Ireland. And so, in case of a future Regency, the Regent,
*facto in England to be Regent dejure in Ireland.
"Ninthly—The connexiou between Great Britain and Ire.
land, by means of the power, authority, and prerogatives of the
Crown, to be perpetual, and incapable of change, or any sever-
ance or separation.
" The foregoing plan to be carried into effect according to
the recognised law and strict constitutional principle.
" Signed by order,
DANIEL O'CONNELL, Chairman of the Committee."
Attorney-General—Now read this (handing up a document,
beaded, " Rules to be observed by Arbitrators.")
The Deputy Clerk of the Crown then read the rules.
Chief Justice—Have you any other rules to prove?
Mr. Kemmis—There is the arbitration summons, my Lord.
Chief Justice—What I was alluding to was a rule which I
am pretty sure was read in Court, but I cannot recollect
exactly upon what occasion. It was to this effect—that if,
after a man had submitted to the jurisdiction of the arbitrators,
he refused to obey the award, then he was to be expelled from
the Association.
Solicitor-General—That was contained in a report from the
Committee.
Mr. O'Connell—lt was a proposal in the shape of a report
to the Association. The reason I wished, my Lord, to have
the last document read distinctly and throughout was with the
view of showing your Lordship that the ultimate result and
plan adopted-omitted any such resolution.
Chief Justice—Let us see what it is.
. Mr. Brewster—Mr. Ross proved it, but had not a copy of it,
Mr. Jackson proved it, and produced a manifold copy of it.
Mr. O'Connell—lt was a report even of a sub-Committee,
arAl if the document itself be produced, it will show that
what you have heard read just now was the final adoption of
the plan.
Mr. Brewster—Here is the manifold copy of it. I will
give you the date of it in order that you, my Lord, may recol-
lect it better. It is a report from the subcommittee appointed
some day in August, 1843, to consider and report upon a
general system of arbitration throughout the country. hat is
the description of it.
Mr. O'Connell—Was that document read by the officer ?
Mr. Brewster—lt was.
Mr. O'Connell—All I want is that the document should be
fairly betore the Court. We had better have it read again.
Chief Justice—l think so.
-.Mr. O'Connell—Here it is in print ; it will be more easily
read

Air. Brewster—They are different documents.
Chief Justice—The document which Mr. O'Connell speaks
of i. the same as you have in manifold.
Mr. O'Connell—l will read the heading for you ;it is the
" Report of the sub-committee appointed on the I7th of
August, 1843, to eonsider and report upon a plan for the adop-
tion of a general system of arbitration.
Mr. Brewster—. That is the heading of the manifold docu-
ment certainly.
• Mr. O'Connell—And that report was received on the 21st
cf August, 1843?
Mr. Brewster—Certainly.
Mr. M'Donough—You don't mean received ?
Mr. O'Connell—No, no, no, by " received" I mean only
the date of the report coming in.
' Mr. Brewster—lt was read fully on Saturday, but your
Lordships can read this (offering the manifold copy to the
Bench).
• Chief Justice—l wish ynu would let me see a copy which
I can read. I cannot read the manifold, nor I cannot read the
short-hand notes. There are a great many things I require
• aid and assistatce in.
• • Mr. Jtistice Crampton—Give a printed copy to the Chief
Justice.
Mr. Henn—Let Mr. Bourne read it.
Mr. Brewster—l have no objection.
The Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to read the docu-
ment headed " Report of the sub-committee appointed to
consider and report uponr a general system of arbitration
throughout the country. Mr. O'Connell held a printed copy
•in his hand, and corrected the officer whenever he mistook a
word.
• The Attorney-General begged to remind the Court that the
printed paper by Browne which contained this document was
also given in evidence as well as the manuscript copy.
• The Chief Justice asked how it was signed.
Clerk of the Crown—lt is signed " John Gray, Chairman."
• Mr. O'Connell—Chairman of the committee.
The.officer next read the printed form of the appointment of
Repeal Wardens, and also the form of notice for parties to at-
tend at the Arbitration Courts, and submit their differences for
adjudication. •
The neat document read was the notice calling the meeting
• for Mullaglunast and headed, " Leinster for Repeal."
The following :vitness was then put on the table. He is a pale

IRELAND,
THE STATE TRIALS.
SEVENTH DAY-BY EXPRESS.

THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS.
• Shortly after ten o'clock, the Chief Justice, accompanied by
Mr. Justice Crampton and Mr. Justice Perrin, took their
seats upon the bench.
The jury and traversers having answered to their names,
The Chief Justice observed that Mr. Justice Burton was
prevented by a severe cold from coming down to Court.
Mr. Hatchell, Q.C., said, in consequence of what had
fallen from his Lordship, he had to state, on behalf of the
traversers, that he and the counsel engaged with him objected
to the case being proceeded with in the absence of Mr. Justice
Burton.
Chief Justice—l shall take a note of the abjection.
Attorney-General-31y Lord, in the case of the King v.
. Finney, the case of the Bristol riots, the very same circum-
star.ce took place. The Judges of England considered the
p.int, and determined that if one of the Judges were ill a case
of trial at bar might be tried by the rest. There was a do-
cument given in evidence on Saturday by the printer, Mr.
Browne ; we wish to enter it as read. It is the plan for the
renewed action of the Irish Parliament. The entire of it need
not be read.
Mr. Hatchell—Read the whole of it.
Mr. Justice Crampton—Why need the whole of it be read,
when we have it already on our notes ?
Mr. O'Connell—Only part of it has been read already. The
first part has not been read. It is an important document.
The Deputy Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to read
FLAN FOR THE RENEWED ACTION OF THE IRISH PA R-
TIA MINT, ADOPTED AT A MEETING OF THE LOYAL NA-
TIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION, ON TPI 27TH DAY OF
AUGUST, 1843.
