SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The proceedings on the writ of error, the
result of which is yet in suspense, necessarily preju-
diced the effect of Mr. Wyse's motion of last night. The
late period of the session also injured the debate.
Every one is now thinking only of getting through
business ; and oratory is voted a bore by common con-
t( sent. The division shows that only 164 Members out
of 658 could be got together on this important question.
It is no fault of Mr. Wyse's that the question has not
i been brought forward earlier. Driven by the Govern-
-1 ment to the very fag-end of the session, he has judged
7 rightly in not leting the session close without making
) this motion, under whatever disadvantages of time and
circumstances. In the refusal of the motion Ireland
s% has one more wrong to complain of—one more article
of impeachment against the present Government.
Mr. Wyse moved for a Committee to inquire into
) the facts connected with the formation of the special
jury in the State Trial in Dublin. Lord Eliot says,
" You must make out fraud before we can grant the
) Committee." But would not negligence in public offi-
-3 cers be sufficient to warrant, aye, to demand inquiry ?
D And if fraud were already proved, or negligence either,
a what need would there be, my Lord Eliot, for
5
e inquiry at all ? All that Mr. Wyse, or any
other Member, can be expected, or is ever likely
2 to be able to do, is to make out a case of strong suspi-
cion. Such a case is sufficient ground for a Committee ;
nay, makes it the duty of the Government to grant the
Committee. And it should be the desire of the Govern-
ment, no less than it is their duty, to clear up strong
0 suspicion on such a matter, if it can be cleared up, by
854
4 the inquiry of a Committee of the House of Com-
mons. As it is, it looks as if they dreaded inquiry,
shrunk from an expected substantiation of Mr. Wyse's
5 charges, and were determined at all hazards to shield
persons who may have been used as instruments
I% for securing the conviction of the traversers. If
Government are determined to oppose a motion,
reasons can always be put into sounding words, which
1!4
3z are sure to elicit "hear, hear !" in sufficient numbers
sx from the; claqueurs of the Government benches ; but it
3% does not follow that the reasons are sound, or that they
s% will bear the test of investigation. A motion for a Com-
mittee at this late period of the session is called a form ;
and it is assumed that the demand for a Committee is
only an excuse, and a debate upon the prosecution the
2% real object. If the Government chose, there would be
8% , nothing to prevent a Committee being now appointed,
6% I and conducting its investigations to a close—just as the
IGovernment, when they chose it, found no difficulty in
a appointing the Post-office Committee after the beginning
S I of the end of the session. The Government that chooses
"% ! to treat Mr. Wyse's motion as a form, itself makes it so.
5 I Every one who reads the speeches of Mr. Wyse and
o i Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, and Lord Eliot's and the
Solicitor-General's replies, must say that a case for in-
!3s. quiry was made out by the first two gentlemen, and
that the replies left the case unimpaired. Take only
)!,4 these two facts out of several. Before the jury-lists
3},1 are made up, Mr. M`Grath, the registrar, allows Con-
servative solicitors to compare all their lists with the
i% office lists ; but refuses similar permission, except with a
small portion of the lists, to the solicitors for the tra-
versers ; and Mr. M`Grath is found fault with by the
Recorder for having allowed the office lists to be seen
at all. Now, we say, take these two facts only ; there
are many stronger ones adduced. But do not these two
facts alone prove that there has been breach of duty by
ye Mr. IPGrath, and that the traversers have not had the
same advantage as parties in the opposite interest ?
And what answer is it to a breach of duty on Mr.
IVl`Grath's part to say, that Mr. M`Grath is a Catholic,
!efi and therefore was unlikely to do anything to injure the
interest of the traversers? That does not follow, my
Lord. And what, in the name of everything sober, has the
ra Solicitor-General's string of pompous inflations about
,4 the whole trial, the Attorney-General's demeanour, the
Judge's charge, the writ of error, and everything else
41., that a mind which seems to have no perception of what
'`" is relevent could bring into a speech, to do with Mr.
d 4 Wyse's motion for an inquiry into the formation of the
I jury list ? The Government rejected the motion. They
7 have managed to keep a sufficient number of their
44 supporters in town to reject it by a majority
JAi of eighteen. Much good may this great majority do
s them ! The session will close without one single ma-
5T* nifestation from the Government that they earnestly de-
sire to do justice to Ireland, or to conciliate her affec:
2 tion. To have granted Mr. Wyse his Committee might
0 have done some little towards appeasing discontent with
4 greater wrongs—with the Protestant Church, into
0 whose revenues Government has refused inquiry, and
with the insult of the abandoned Registration Bill. But
2 they persist in opposing the feelings of Ireland in all
7% matters, great and small; matters of permanent and of
• temporary grievance alike. Though accident may delay
3 the retribution, sooner or later it must come.
° -"'STANDARD.—The Commons' amendments to "the
4
s Dissenters' Chapels Bill " were last night agreed to in
the House of Lords, after a long debate. The first ° cir-
• cumstance that will strike the reader as remarkable in
'2 this affair, is the extraordinary muster of votes in favour
of a measure which, if not very limited and incon-
siderable in its operation, must be extensively mis-
chievous. The number of votes given last night—
namely, 243, was, we believe, much the greatest
s in the session, no less than 100 Peers and Prelates
7 (alas ! that we must include some of the latter),
8
6 attending to support a Bill which was either very insig-
-0 nificant or very wicked. We are wholly at a loss to
7 account for the attendance. Private canvassing in
such a case may do much, and private canvassing was
active, but private canvassing can hardly account
for such a muster as 202 Peers. The w hole mat-
ter contrasts unpleasantly with the zeal displayed
by the majority in the case of the St. Asaph's
34 Bill. Orthodox Dissenters and Churchmen, who
3.9s(think that the vital truths of Christianity are the highest
12% of all considerations, will be too much disposed to infer
n i that the temporalities in the St. Asaph's case made all
)1% the difference in the judgment of the House of Lords'
34 majority. The form in which the motion came
34 before the House, no doubt, gave considerable
2% advantage to those who supported it, for the
gm
amendments of the House of Commons were pretty
generally mitigations of the bad principle of the Bill,
5 and if the choice lay between the Bill as amended by the
Lower House, and that which left the House of Lords
tag with Lerd Cottenharn's finishing touch, the Bill as
amended by the Commons, was undoubtedly entitled
s'l to a preference. The vice is, however, in the prin.
3}.4 ciple of the Bill, and this vice, the Lords who had
!,34.3 first sanctioned it, could not bring themselves to
7N acknowledge, for none but the best and wisest
will ever acknowledge that they have been per
,34 severingly in the wrong—a warning to us all never
'3(3 to be again slow in pressing the truth in a similar
case. Had the feeling of the country against this
. Bill been manifested before the Lords commit-
, i ted themselves to its odious and unjust provi-
sions by successive votes, the result would be
different from what we have to lament. As we
suppose that the Bill is now to be the law, we shall
probably not have again to recur to the painful sub-
ject, and therefore we take the present opportunity to
reject, with all the contempt which such a topic of
consolation merits, the commendatory assurance
3% ' that the measure will work impartially, and that
2 ; Churchmen and orthodox Dissenters may as freely
3 I avail themselves of it as the Socinians. This
7 consolation is illusory and insulting ; translated
10 , into plain- words it amounts to this : here is a
Bill for the protection of certain cheats ; hitherto Soci-
Diana only have practised these cheats ; but you see that
we leave it open to Churchmen and orthodox Dissenters
to practise them. It is illusory to assume that the Arch-
, fiend himself could cheat Socinians in any matter tem-
poral, or of any thing but that of which unhappily
he has already_ defrauded them. It is insulting to
ksswu.ngoekgi%pl,eomstetikioaebtt,th: hypothesis that any class of Christians
can imitate in retaliating their frauds. Suppose an Act
of general prospective indemnity passed in favour of the
wwootadrsel iatllbeatan, consolation to honest men to
liberty to pick the pockets of the
pickpockets, if we choose to make ourselves amends in
that way ? No, an Act like the Bill of which we speak,
the purpose of which is to protect fraud, can benefit
those only aho will descend to practise fraud—upon all
others it is an Act of pains and penalties.
