jetty's subjects? That was the manly and fair way,
feIGORQUGHAM wished to ask what part* of
Scripture were read to Orangemen? •
Colonel BARRY said, the witness had intwerf.
.go from the Old Testament."
Mr. BROUGHAM said, no man could be satisfied
with such an answer. But, as he saw the temper of
theComrnittee, he should not press the question.—
Su ch an inquiry was a mere mockery.
Mr. C. HUTCHINSON thought that Ministers
had much to answer for to Ireland, and complained
that they -bad not done their duty to Lord Wellesley
and the Irish Government.
Sir R. HERON asked whether the Hon. Gentle-
man Intended to,c,,,:mclude with any motion ?
Mr. HVTCHINWN said it was his intention to
submit-that the iitepiil7 should he adjourned until '
.this day six months. , Huaert the determination of,
_Ministers to smother! all useful inquiry. After what
bed passed.. it
.was a complete mockery to proceed
further. He moied 'that the inquiry be adjourned to
ibis day six months.
Mr. ?EEL said, that he should 'not be betrayed, by
the invective which the Floe. Gentleman opposite had
put forth, into suing into a defence of. Government
at an inappropriate time. Ministers desired no mercy
from the Iron. Gentlehida3 and it would easily be
shewn, when the proper' paritiit arrived, that they had
furthered, with their best metsasoha progress of the
investigation.
Mr. PLUNILErthad stated dig loestion to fie ma-
terial to the inquiri„bizenot own justiaeation.
Colonel BARRY Was to opinion, that the
Sheriff stood acquitted in the lodgement of the Com.'
Mittee. If ulterior measuses were contemplated, he
should certainly call further evidence. ,

Mr. HUME desited to ask the.purprtofAke scrip-
tut al passages which *ere read 7—(Crtes qtei Ao.no.')
He insisted that he bad a right -to put. the question.
Ttie purport had not Yet been asked. It was possible
that a proposal might be read to hang and destroy all
the Roman Catholics. Since the truth was refused,
he had a right to assume that such was the case;
and, upon .his conscience, be believed that it was.
Mr. [EEL wished to recall to the attention of the
Committee, that they were acting in a judicial ca-
pacity. The question was the same in substance with
what had been asked before.
Mr. HUME said, that if the conduct of the Sheriff
of Dublin was the subject of inquiry, it was reqriiiite
for the Committee to be informed of the nature of an
Orange panel..--TheGallery was cleared for a division.

The tekness was again called in.
By Mr. liassa.—ls there anything contained in the passages
read from Scripture to an Orangeman, on his • admission, or
afterwards, which expresses hostility on the part of the Israelites
towards. any other nation ?—The witness:replied, he did not re-
collect that there was.
Then do all thew passages contain expriesions ev peace sad
pod-will towards men? . .
Mr. WETHERELL objected to this question, and
the witness was ordered to withdraw. •
Mr. SC ARLETT though t thequestion might be put.
Lord HOT H A blWas against the questionb eing put.
Mr. ELLICE thought, it
.would be much more
manly in has Majesty's.Uovernment to put 'an end to
this discussion by moving that the further considera-
tion of this question should'be adjourned to this day

The House had discovered this, namely;. that such
was the state of the legal proceedings in Ireland. that
at present justice could not be administered fairly:
After a few words from Mr. Cat.ca arr the gallery

'tided to proceed. that they would, determine to force •
the truth-from the witness; and that the House should
not be trifled with. It was against all order for Ho'
nourabli Members. when a witness mentioned a pass
sage in Scripture, to ran to the smuaking room for
the Bible, and to move that tl:e witness withdravi
when any mention was made of an Amalekitei a la;
tite, or a Berrietlite i (A lamgh.) He thodght the situa-
don of Ireland deplorable, .totl. was sorry to, find the
Itish Members did not come forward in a proper way
tO strengthen the hands of Government, and tranquil-
lize that country. Why did they not reside on their

Sir Jcult Nitncl,-yesterday gaveinJgesent in this '
case. The deceased Was an-eldetly. Lad'', possessed--
of considerable rotortyln the funds, Which site lefk
by will and eddied, to Mr. Farthing, a clerk in the-
house of Ransom and Co. of Pall-Mali, on condition
that he assumed the name of Beauchamp. This will
was opposed by the next of kin of the deceased, on
the ground of undue influence, exercised by Mr. Far-
thing,- over the deceased; in order to obtain this dispo-•
sition of her property in his favour; alleging, that;
the deceased, at the time of making the said will, was
in a state of mental, imbecility, and incapable of dis-
posing of her property. the deceased kept cash at
Ransoms', hardly knowing to what amount; and up
to 1811 lived in mean circumstances, in an obscurd
private lodging, at Twickenham, in 10, 6d per week,-
with the attendance of one female servant. Mr. Far..
thing, having knowledge ether property„tioin.keeps
ing her banking account, suggested to the old Lady
that she had the means of living in 'greater splen-
dour ; in consequence of which, he 'prevailed on her
to come to London. He took a hOuse for her in Suf-
folk-street, Charing-Cross, and induced her to set up
her carriage, and live more according to her circunt.
stances, and he. resided in the house with her, having
the complete management of her affairs ; bet not re-
stricting the visits of her friends and relations,tro whom
her bounty was parsimortionsly dealt out. At length;
from her declining health, it was deemed eligible that
the should retire to a country residence. Mr. Fa. thing
accordingly purchased for her a country seat in So.
inersetshire, among his own relations, where he uted
occasionally to wilt her, until herdratti. • In 1905
the deceased mode a will, leaving part of her pro.
perty toe relation, a Mr. James Hudson, and the rase
to charitable uses ;: and performed no less than three
depositive acts in favour of 'Mr.. Farthing—one Was,
presenting him,-thiring her life, with t6OOO in cast;
then transferring stock into their joint names, amount•
ing to £45,000, which she further made over to him
by deed of gift. The final act of is depositary newt
was the instrument propounded in tkil, cau ~e, ifillier
last will and testament. By this it'appeat's Mr. Far-
thing is appointer sole exe4for and' iesiduary-lel
gatee to the whole of the proiletif :he possessed.
A number efsvitnesses deposed to the incapacity of
the deceased. Notwithstanding this, the Coosr held
;be preponderance of evidence to be in favour of her
testamentary capacity and intentions; and observed;
that the unwearied assiduity of gr. Farthing, in
:hewing the utmost kindness And attention to the de-
ceased, as if she had been .slus mother; and she,. on
the other hand, consider ing likoi as. her Adopted son,
by the grateful affection entertained. for him in .re,-
