MONDAY, MAUCH 15.

THOMAS' GooLD, Esq. was again called.—He
stated, that on Friday night last (after the last
examination), Mr, XV. Quin had•called on him,
and had repeated some of the minute circum-
stances mentioned in the House, and he (Mr. G.)
was now satisfied he had been at Mr. C. Sinyth's
in the morning as well as the afternoon ; because
Mr. W. Quin had told. him so, not" from any
memory of his own. He added an asseveration
in these words-". 1 do declare solemnly, that I
had not the slightest intention, nor the slightest
or the remotest intention, in the evidence I have
given, of even giving a colour to a single transac-
tion. I was mistaken ; my memory has deceiv-
ed me."

Mr. T. .W., GaAnY, •the petitioner, being exa-
mined, stated, hat, he bad been, he was told,
Clerk of the 'Peace' tor the County of -Limerick
15 years. The duty had been performed by a de-
ploy. Mr. W. Quin had applied to him to re-
move this deputy from his situation, saying he
Was not partial to his (Quin's) political interests,''
which the witness refused to do. When it was
known that Mr..Quin was to have the reversion''s
of the office of Custos Rotulormn, witness had
spoken to him respecting hiS office of Clerk of the
Peace, and coosi,iered that he had received a
promise that he should not he displaced. Lord
Muskerry died about a week before the last Elec.
tion ; witness then: again applied to Mr. Quits,.
who gave him an equivocal answer ; -a few days
after the Electinn Mr. Quin hinted to the nitnebs,i
that in consequence of a prior engagement, he
feared he should be obliged to disturb him in his
office. The proposition of 2001. a year arising out of
the emoluments of the office came originally front
Mr.W,Quiu ; the witness bad never said any thing'
to this effect, that he Should be reduced to the des-
perate necessity of blowing out his brains. At
first, witness was much irritated at what he consi-
dered to be' a breach of promise on the part of
Mr. Quin, and refused to accept the proposal,
which was at first uncoupled with any conditions.:
Nothing was settled When Mr. Quin went to Eng
land. After that time witness wrote to Mr. Carew:
Smith, dolling. bias to calk on Mr. fdu.iii oh his

return, to know his intentions as to the office.—
.
'When Mr. Quin came to his house, near Limerick.
after his return from England, witness had an inter-
view with him. At that interview 11Ir. Q said, that
if witness accepted of 2001. out of his old place, so.
long as he continued to receive it, he (Mr. Q,)
-should consider witness ' bound to s til with hint
:in the same political vessel in the county;". but-
that witness was perfectly at liberty, if he could.
,dispose of his interest on more advantageous terms
to any of the other candidates, to do so. Wi:tiess
,rejected that offer, and left the room.—No one
•was`then present. He shortly after was in a room
`With Mr. Quin, -who introduced him to Mr.
'Roche (his land-agent). and said, I will tell you,
;Grady; before 'Mr:Roche, if you receive your

" your idea, Sir, of being free,., and mine,

`am free.. What dO you mean will you give we

turing. than the worst reality. Yon will excuse,
1 hope, this unnecessary no e ; but, as my very
existence depends on my place, 1 trust
you will forgive Any anxiety." Another letter
to Mr. Quin from the witness, and identified by
him, contained, the following passage I came
from France, not because I thought my single
vote could be of much_use, but because I knew
my father's tenants would not vote with you en-
ke.ss I was on the spot, though solicited by close
connections to stay away, they assuring rue that
Weir first voice should-go with Fitzgibbon. As I
promised to support you, my fat her, and myself
were resolved to,act towards you as we always
have done, and I came 600 miles for the purpose.
before I knew it was in your power to injure use
or serve me. Forgive me for this long history,
hut my feelings are so wounded by this report (1 e.
the report that Mr.Quin had appointed Mr.R.Smitla
as Clerk of the Peace in. his room), and the
taunting pity of my relations, and the ridiculous,
point of view in which I am placed, to which you
may add my ruin, if -I lose my place, that I must
,give myself some-vent." Witness received a let-
ter from Mr.Carew Smyth on the 22d September,
saying he had seen Mr. Clain. Up to that pe-
riod he had never heard a word ebout political
support being attached to the offer of 2001. a year.
Mr. Quills himself never told him that he was to
give him his political support ; but Mr. Wyndhatu
Fitzgerald told him, that. if, he did accept of the
2001. a year when first it was offered, Mr. Quirt
would expect he should vote for him in the coenty.
When he heard from Mr. Carew Smyth that his
political support should be the condition of re-
ceiving 2001. a year, he was a good deal astonished,
because Mr. Quin did not mention it to hint him-
self, when first he mentioned tire 2001. a year.—
On the 28th of September he bad an interview
With Mr. Quin at Adare, when Mr. Quin said that
they were to sail together in the same political
vessel ; be made that a sine qua non—he did not
express any surprise to Mr. Quin, because he kart
received from Mr. Carew Smyth 3 or 4 different
letters from Dublin, to acquaint him with that fact,
anti therefore it was unnecessary for him to ex-
press astoeishmerit at a fact he was perfectly well
acquainted with. In the presence of Mr. Roche,
Mr. Quin referred to the offer unconditionally at •
first, as free as air; but witness ,found his mean-
ing was the very same all through. Witness
asked him if he would let him, yote as he liked ?
And be said, certainly not ; therefore there could
not be any thing mote conclusive than that. To
the question—'' Did you say, will you let me
vote as I please, or did you say, will you give me
a positive assurance, that if I vote against
you, you will not remove me front the office ?"
Witness answered, " I cannot exactly say
about that ; I cannot exactly say which, for
they are both the same, in my humble opinion—
there is no difference." Witness saw very little
distinction, hided, between leaving it upon tt
fair and common understanding that he would.
probably act as he had formerly acted; namely,
support Mr. Quin, and a positive assurance given
by him, that if he should happen to vote against
Mr. he would not deprive him of the 2001.
a yea,. Only twenty-five of witness's tenants
vottd for Air. Quin at the election, and the
rea,on was 'that only t wenty-five could vote.
Mr. Quin told witness himself, at Belmont, that
his father never polled less than 130 or 140 for
L him. Mr. Carew Smyth Was of opinion at fuat, that

wi vic-ws .01,1111(1 accede to Mr. Qttlet's proposal ;
tind that last-t of the Petition which stated that
C Smyth objected to that proposition as re-
prehensibli-, was incortect. Witness had Ito
cloond ex:telly for taaal“ng that statement—cer-
vainly he did not consider that at rite time. The
statement in the Petition, that Mr. Goold came
to the hon.e of the said Carew Smyth, " when
the said Wyndham Quirt delivered to tie said Ca-
rew Smyth the said instrument in writing, te-
d and corrected, approved of and testified by
the c;iti, Thomas Goold." was Wrong too. Mr.
Gook said he woold be aIwAVS ready to come
forward and testi:v it. Tire following letter was
shenm to the witness, who said it was certainly
Mr. Q.,in's haunt-writing

Mr. CA aw Si4VTI4 re-examined.—ln some ob-
servations on an answer which witness gave nit
Friday, he expressed himself as follows :—"
should have remonstrated with him (Mr. Grady),
or else I should have di,eotitinued any cone-
spoodeuce with him upon that subject ; for I am
now sensible that to a person who communicated
to the the vistem of (Mission he had practised,
I should either lease arottainted the Honour-
able Member Mfr. Qoin), with whom I.
was then communicating, of that delusion, or
should have remonstrated with Mr. Grady not to
practise it in future.--I am sensible I should
have take,' that course, but I hope the Houle will
consider the situation in which I stood to Mr.
Grady ; he was my relation, and therefore, per-
haps, I did not expose to Mr. Wyndham Quits,
in my communication, the system of delusion be
had practised."
Mr. DAVID Racna, of Carris, in the County
of Limerick, was then called in and examined.—
He was present at Adare at a conversation which
passed it; September, on the subject of the an-
nuity between Mr. Grady and Mr. Quin. Mr.
Quin, addressing witness, said, " I have secured
for Mr. Grady 2001. a-year, which is to he
paid by Mr. Smith, which von may have if
yon please, Mr. Grady." Mr. Grady said,
'' but, Mr. Qoin, suppose my freeholders
do not vote with fou in the next Election,
which I am inclined to think they will not
do, what, then, is to become of the 2001. e-
year 1." Mr. Quilts said, " I have nothing to
do with your freeholders, Sir ; I give you this
2001. a-year as a friend, and the soli of a friend
whom f ant much obliged to, and I beg to hear
nothing of your freeholders ; you and your free-
holders are at liberty to vote for whom you
please " Mr. Grady stated then, that Mr. Carew
Smyth had tvritt en down that he expected his free-
holders ; then said Mr. Quin, " if he wrote soy
siWi thing as that, ice wrote what he was not
wairanted in saying, and I now tell you the re-
verse 5 I would not offer you or myself such ass
indignity;" and he Aeense4 very much irritated at
thr time. Mr. Grady's irritation arose from his
not haviog the whole place. At the last Election
he flumeht Mr. Grady had under his influence
aboni: 36 freeholders.

Mr. I( ICH hall SMrr farther examined.—ln
answer to the qnestion, " You said on a former
night, that you were at first informed you were
to have the clerk.dtip of the peace without,
any deduction ; when you afterwards found you
were to subjectrd to the payment of 2001 a-year,
did it not orcasiott auy surprise to you when you
found you were to have 2001. a-year deducted from
an employ which von yottrselt stated to be worth
only 4001 a-year ?" Witness said, " Indeed I
was not a hit surprised, because I was apprised of
it before I was appointed." To the question,
" Yon were understood to say that you had
the promise of it unshackled, without any deduc-
tion, and that afterwards there was 2001. a-year
deducted front it ?" Witness answered., " I did
say so."—To the question, " The House are
to understand you, that although you were at
fir,t promised this without any deduction, and
afterwards were informed you were to receive it
with a deduction of oue-half of the emolutneuts,
you never made • any objection, because you on-
derstood it wits the wish of Mr. Quin, and that
it was a humane act ?" Witness answered "Yes."
