Catholic Relief Bill ; the Forty-shilling Freeholders' 1
Disfranchisement Bill; and the Bill for the sup-
pression of the Catholic Association ; but if e new
election was now to take place the good effects of
these measures would be totally destroyed, it would
raise newagitators that would disturb the country from •
one end to the other, for there was not a Catholic in
Ireland but what would feel sensibly the wrongs in-
flicted on the man who had fought their battles, and
without whose instrumentality they never would
have obtained -their rights.—(Hear, hear.)—And
where would be so good an opportunity to display
their sympathy as on the hustings for the county of
Clare, they would feel the injury inflicted on one of
their own body, o,r one inflicted on the whole com-
munity. After a few other observations, in which the
Hon. Gentle-man strongly stated his opinion of the
injurious effects a new election would have in. dis-
turbing the tranquillity of Ireland; he concluded by
moving to leave,to bring in a Bib to amend that part
of the Act as related to this particular case, so as
to enable the Hon. Member for Clare to take his
seat without a new election.

Lord .MORPETH rose to second the motion,
and was addressing ►he House when we left.

IRISH LAW INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Monday.)
COURT OF KING'S BENCH—SATuao.cr.
THE ZINC AT THE PROSECUTION or LORD VISCOUNT DUN-

OARYAN V. EENIMY HENRY SHEEHAN, ESQ., EDITOR •P

THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL.

Mr. BENNETT, K. C.—ln this case, my Lords, I
have to show cause why the conditional order for
filing a criminal information against the defendant,
should not be made absolute. The conditional rule
had been obtained on the motion of Mr. Cruise, and
upon the affidavits of the noble prosecutor, Miss
Magee, Miss Rebecca Shaw, and Sir Edward Lees.
The cause I will submit to the Court, will be very
different from what, as counsel for the defendants, I
conceived it my duty to show, when arguing against
the conditional order for criminal information twainst
the Proprietors and Printer of the Dublin Evening
Mail. It would be unwarrantable in me to occupy
the time of the Court in arguing upon propositions
already made and decided by your Lordships. In
the Evening Mail there appeared a paragraph on
the 7th of November last, in which your Lord-
ships, by granting the absolute order, have decided
that allusion was made to Lord Dungarvan, to his
having gone to the Mansion-house on the 4th No-
vember, and to other circumstances, concerning
which I shall not trouble the Court with any obser-
vations. When Mr. Thomas Sheehan, as one of the
Proprietors of the Maui, came in to shew cause why
the conditional order against him ought not to he
made absolute, the present applicant, Mr. R. H.
Sheehan, in order to defend his brother, made an
affidavit in the case. Your Lordships, however,
granted the absolute order; and as we not only ab-
stained from criminating language, but actually
swore we did not believe there was any truth in the
prior unfortunate statement, we did suppose the case
would have been dropt, or at least, net pursued any
further. We did imagine that when Lord Dungar-
van's application was granted, and the charge against
his character denied even by the defendants, his
Lordship would not take any further steps in the
proceeding. But, my Lords, immediately after the
conditional rule was made absolute, we find the
learned Counsel for the prosecution making an ap-
plication to the Court for a rule to show, cause
against Mr. Ren]my Sheehan; the application was
founded upon Mr. Sheehan's own affidavit in de-
fence of his brother, and it was granted. This was
certainly a most unprecedented and novel case, a
case of which in the whole course of my practice at
the bar, I never even heard of an instance. What is
the real state of the case? An article appeared in
the Mail which Lord Dungarvan conceived was
prejudicial to his reputation. Mr. Remmy Shee-
han enters into a negociation with Sir Edward
Lees, the friend of Lord Dungarvan upon the part
of his Lordship, and draws up an article explanatory
of the case, and such a one as Sir Edward Lees
considered sufficient to repair any injury Lord Dun-
garvan had thought was done to him, by the publi-
cation of the paragraph of the 7th Nov. This apo-
logy, Remaly Sheehan prepared on the part of his
brother. As this was the only cause of complaint
against Mr. R. Sheehan, can the order be sustained
against him upon grounds like these ? When Mr.
R. Sheehan states these facts in his affidavit.

Counsel for the prosecution, the Solicitor-Gene-
ral, Sergeant Goold, Mr. North, K.C., Mr. O'Con-
nell, Mr. Cruise, and Mr. Freeman. Agent, Francis
Cruise, Esq.
Counsel for the defence, Messrs. Bennett, K.C.,
Jackson, K.C,, and Scriven. Agent, Henry
Stuine3, Esq.
The Court soon after adjourned.
