Sir 3, Nntrl*kier said, none could lie more sen-
sible of the magnitude. ad,l 'importance of the
subject. ro which he WH$ fillOUt to call the atten,
tion of the llottse nor of his ioability to do it•
justice than he was. Why :Oleo, it might be ask-
ed, had'he not left it to Uentletuen of the Sister
Kingdom in that House, who were more equal' to
the task ? His answer to this %vas, and theflome
wrothd feel that it was. a true pane before he sat
down,, ''his zeal• had outrun his duty.:''
however, trusted the motion with.which he should
conclude, once brought before the Honse, his de,.
fects would he supplied by others, and especially
by the two lion. Friends of his who represented the
City and University of Dublin. The Right Hon.
Baronec then proceeded to sltew that the disorga-
nization which still prevailed in Ireland, after a
conueetion of six ,centuries with England; arose
from the misgovernment of those who at various
periods had been placed at the head of this coun-
try. 'This alone could have prevented the two
Countries froth amalgamating, as had been the
case' in every other part of the globe, where dif-
ferent 'notions were so long united. On the ac-
cesssion of James the First, an inquiry into the
state of Ireland had beets instituted., The result
of thi* had been headed down to us in a little
hook, written by Sir John Davis, the Volute of
which Was so well known, that all continent on
it was unnecessary. He reprelented Ireland to
'have been anxious to, be admitted to the benefit of
English law, but to have had-this request iustithtly
met by a negative,-aud he had asked if it was sur-
prising, " that those Whoin England could hot
role in peace by the- law, anal could not root
out in war by the sword, should be pricks in
•their eyes and thorus,in their Sides." The dif.
ference between the administration Of justice in
the two countries was thus So 'great, that where a
murder was committed, it was first ascertained of
wide') country the person murdered was a native,
in order to decide what otensure of punishment
should be inflicted on the assassin who, for de-
, nriviog an Irishman of life, was to he fined five
marks ; but who, if it, were an Englishman that
bad been killed, was to he put to death. When
such a system was established it was not to he
Wandered et-if Ireland should only see in Eoglaml
the,oppressive master rather than the generous
friend.. It was said of Ireland, by Sir J: Davis,
" I know cat no country under the sun that sloth
love justice more than Ireland, and that cloth pay
more attention, provided its people are protected
bylaw, when theyshall require it on just grounds."
It was not to be expected that they-wooled 'respect
the laws which pintished, but which did not pro-
teet them. King James had endeavoured to- itti-
proye the state of Ireland by colonizatio»; but
this bildiseen effected on wrong pa

an enemy's country than as fellow-subjects settle-
ing among their, friends. Great calamities resulted
from this systeni, and when the troubles broke out
between the Parliament and the Crow nint hi Conn.

'England, did not improve the situation of Ireland,
When the bigoted James.the.Second called down
upon him the just resentment of England, he took
shelter in Iselaml, and the people of that ill-fated
eouistry had thnnght it their•duty to espouse his
cause, and sacrifice their conitexion with Eng-
land, and another dreadful strugde took place,
which again terminated unhappily for the sister

thing was sacrificed to the Protestant intrrvst,
and the Penal Code Was illtrOdUCaci, ,Which had
justly been Called' by Lord Camden -" a 11101111-
• ment of absurdity and oppression', that might
well be expected to demoralize the -whole people.'
'To .show the principles on which Ireland hhtl then
'been governed, he read an extract from a-paper
.bythe first Lord Shannon, written in 17,13 ;and
'there was a curious fact worth noticing mentioned'
in thiS 'paper, namely, that in those days Ireland
did not raise a sufficient quantity of grain •to sup-
ply its Own consumption, but Was au irrTorting
country. There was at that time no such' thing
as a representation of the people of Ireland.'---
The Parliaments of that country were so con-
stituted that their interests and views Were
totally separated from thirse of the people. , As
an illustration of this, lie 'said, that about the
time of which he was speaking, a Petition had
been preseuted to the..Jrish Parliament from the
draynten and coal-heavers of Dublin, contplain-
ing that a coal4tterchant of that city, who was
of the Roman Catholic persuasion, employed nOrte•
but Catholic lahourers, and .praying that thifi
in-
divirduaal might be made to employ othera. 4itch

Sean in how small a compass was contained all
ihitt had been done for Ireland. The people of
that
,country had during the war fought against
Our. foreipin enemies with a degree of bravery
which, perhaps, in some instances might be
equalled, 7but which could never !be Surpassed.--
They. had sacrificed asinuch in money as in'blood
'during the contest. Since the Union Ireland had

being the case, it remained fur Parliament to ful-
