The SPEAKER, on taking the Chair, acquainted the House that
the parties who had presented petitions complaining of undue returns
for the county of Tipperary, the borough of Carlow, the city of Limerick,
and the city of Dublin, had not entered into the requisite recognisance,
to prosecute the said petitions. The orders for taking those petitions
into consideration were thereupon directed to be discharged.
The SPEAKER then informed the house that he had received from
the Hanaper Office, Ireland, petitions complaining of undue returns.
One of them was from Mr. V. Blake, complaining of an undue return
for the town of Galway, and one from electors of Galway to the same
effect. Another from Mr. J. Macdonnell, complaining of an undue
return for the county of Mayo. One from Mr. I. Daly, complaining
of an undue election for the county of Galway. The petitions were
ordered to be taken into consideration in January ; the days were oely
nominally fixed.
Mr. H. VILLIERS gave notice that after Christmas he should
move for a Committee to inquire into the Laws respecting British
Seamen.

use of the poor in Ireland fa the last five years.—Ordered.
IRELAND.
Lord G. BERESFORD presented a petition from Carrickback for
the repeal of the Union.
Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the petition. At the
time of the Union, that town had upwards of 7,000 persons employed
in the coarse woollen-manufacture; at present it had not fifty so occu-
pied, but was in a miserable state of decay.
Sir J. NEWPORT opposed the motion, and the system which the
hon. and learned member and his Mends pursued on this question. He
considered that the Union was an irrevocable act, and that the efforts
to promote the repeal were of the most injurious tendency.
Mr. O'CONNELL strongly defended the course be had punned—he
bad not created animosities—on the contrary, be had received thanks for
what be bad done on this subject; on one occasion, thanks moved by
an Orangeman. He maintained that all the mercantile industry, and all
the talent of Ireland, were in favour of the repeal of the Union.
Me..llOORll denied the eorreetitesp of this representation ; from All
be knew or could learn, he most confidently denied that the property and
talent of Ireland were in favour of the repeal of the Union.
CoL O'GRADY opposed discussion on this question as calculated to
continue agitation in Ireland.
PUNISRMENT OP DNATIE.
Mr.BROUGHAhI presented a petition from persons who were liable
to serve on Grand Juries in London for a revision of the criminal laws,
fee the purpose of repealing the punishment of death where violence
had not been actually committed. He considered it of great import-
ance, and to be well worthy of the attention of the house. The peti-
tion was of a general characters it was not limited to the crime of
forgery. As the scruples of jurors so often were likely to interfere with
the course of the laws, he considered that too much attention could not
be paid to the pmts.
3lr. WARD and Mr. DEN MAN spoke to the like effect, in support
of the petition.
Petition ordered to be printed.
Mr. WARD presented a petition from Mr. Galinlano, praying for a
revision of the judicature at Gibraltar.
Mr. BROUGHAM supported the prayer of the petition ; a remedy
for the evil was loudly called for.
Sir G. MURRAY said, he bad never seen the petition, and did not
know whether there were grounds foe the complaint or not. t
Mr. HUME observed that the laws and regulations fee Gibraltar were
passed by the arbitrary power of the King and Conseil, and so long es
that continued, abuses would exist.
Petition ordered to lie on the table.

for the Roman Catholics to be placed on a similar footing with the
Protestants.
Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Whitechumb, lrt the
county of Cork, in favour of the voting by ballet, in the payer of which
he coneurred.—He then presented a petition from the samsplace coat-
placing of Absenteeism, and praying for the repeal of the Union. He

the rate of salaries of the year 1796. The announcement from the
Hon. Member was reccivl d with very unusual marks of approbation,
from several of the Hon. Members.

ILDMINISTRATIOU OF JUSTICE BILL.
Sir J. SCEELIVrT brought up the bill for amending the Admi.
Watteau: of Justice, which wu read a int time, and ordered to be
read a second

Mr. O'CONNELL regretted that the hon. and learned gentleman
was not in his place, who had declared that it would be a misfortune
to the country if the law was such as it night be understood by the
hon. member for Middlesex. The hon. and learned gentleman would
surely have been highly gratified when he saw that the old system of
litmus poem, of the juggle of litigation, was still to be kept up ; it
would gratify him to see that the hon. and learned gentleman who brought
forward this bill, has succeeded, after about twenty-five attempts, in
getting through a bill that had not existed for three months, until an
amendment %as required for it, instead of asking for a new bill.
Sir J. SCARLETT in explanation said, that the bill to which the
Hon. Member for Waterford had alluded had not yet been in force, nor
would it come into force till January ; and the present bill was only to
amend a clause in it, which amendment it was deemed expedient to
have inserted before that the bill came into operation.
Mr HUME remarked that the Attorney-General might say what he
pleased, but it was evident, from his own shewing, that the bill was
to be touched up. The Hon. Member proceeded to say that if the new
A ttorney-Genetal and the other law officers of the Crown did not manage
otherwise than the last had done, the House would not get on a bit
better. Their blundering had delayed the House of Commons more
than any thing ; and it was truly ridiculous that it should thus be con.
tinually called upon to pus every bill at twice.
Sir J. SCAR I.ETT made a few observations in reply, and the amend-
ment was ordered to be engrossed on Monday next.
