I'Klvl LE(.E

Sir J. NEWPORT said, lie had a matter to Sub-
mit to the attention of the House which it would he
for them to determine whether it should be treated
as a breach of privilege or in any other manner.
The house ,Would recollect that in the course
of the progress of the Bill to regulate the Irish
Conn of Chancery, through that House, a
clause had been proposed and adopted provid-
ing against Masters of Chancery taking their
seats in that Moose: The Bill with that
clause being passed the House, it might naturally
be supposed that any one would speak of it at
least in respectful terms. But. the Howse would
be surprised to learn that Resolutions of a very
different description had been passed on Thurs-
day the 6tir. of .luly: The ,Hon. BarOnet then
read from a Dublin newspaper the, speech of a
Colonel of a very violent -nature, together
the Resolutions which followed it.• The Reso-
lutions.declared, among otherthings,lhat Minis-
ters -had infringed the rights of Irishmen,
.and
particularly animadverting on Lord. Castlereagh.
This language, it, was to be remembered, was ap-
plied to•a clause in.a Bill WhiCh had passed that
House, and was on its way to the HouSe of Lords.
One of the Resolutions reprobated the .44 impu-
dent assertion of Sir James Mackintosh, Mem-
ber for the insignificant Borough of Knaresbo-
rough, who had dared to legislate for the citi-
zens of Dublin."—(Much laughter.)—He had
never met with a more daring vilification of the
house of Commons, and it was clone by the
Heads of the Orange party and
.Servants of the.
Crown. Under these circumstances, he thought-
of moving that the Master and Secretary of one
of the public Boards should be-called before the
Rouse ; but, on consulting with-some of the Gen=
tlemen about him, he changed his purpose, and
concluded by moving, ,that John Magee, the
Winter of the Dublin Evening Post, be'directed
to attend at the Bar this day se'imight.
-Lord CvsTr.ctic.AGn put it to the-Right Hon.
Baronet, if it was desirable to press this matter
any further. The nature of the extracts he had
read seemed to be quite sufficient to show. that.
the publication must rhe harmless, and . so little
likely to carry weight, that iZ might be thought
enough to take this notice of it. •
After a few words- from Sir YAMES MACKIN-
TOSH and Sir GEORGE HILL, the latter of whom
bore testimony to the high characters of the in-
dividuals who agreed to the ,Resolutions, Sir J.
NEWPORT withdrew his motion.

-Sir G. Him, then presented a Petition, signed
by a numerous and respectable body, of the Ci-
tizens of Dublin, against the Clause which had
been added to the Irish Court. of Chancery Bill.
Mr. FEET, said, that froin the rapidity with
which the Clause had been added, and the Bill
Ppassed through House, he had had no oppor-
-‘:,..,C.11, tia.3. onit.tintuti,s re-
sp"teting - x.ll that he should now say was,
that he regretted extremely its having been ac-
ceded to by the HouSe, As he conceived it to be
both, unprecedented and unnecessary.
Mr. PLUNKETT spoke to order, and at the
same time said,. if he had been in the House, the
clause should have had his warmest support, ag
requisite for -the purity, of justice. .

The SPEAKER stated that there was no irre-
gularity in presenting. the Petition, as though
gone to the Mouse of Lords, the Bill was still
pending in Parliament, and rnus..,t, return to that
Ifoiuse before it could become a law. Ally &ha' e 5
however, to be in order, must be on the_Petition,
not on the Bill.
'artle further remarkswere made by Mr. PEEL
and Mr. PLUNKETT ; and the Petition was or-
dered to lie on the table. ,
