PRESL;tV ATION OF THE PEACE BILL.
Mr, PEELS. on moving for a Bill to amend this
Mt; Observed, that the Housevnuld recollect, that
atilt late peri,;;; '3f the last Session he had broukht
feritard two irhpisrrant measures relative to the state
of Ireland; one a temporary, and the other a pee.
naspent measure. T a permanent measure, known
by the isaleof the Preservation of the Peace 11;11,
enlblett the Lord Lieulenaat to proclaim certain dis.
Wets, in''etniefitaitragei were committed, to be in a
state-of digisrbariee* , and to appoint Superintending
Magistrates and extraordinary Constables for the re-
storation of•• tranquillity. But doubts having arisen.
whether, if disturbanees broke out in two adjoining
Baronies, it was lawful w appoint more than one See-
perintending Maestrate, the object of the new Bill
w.rs to authorise the appoiaiment of two, when neces-
sary. As the Act was of so much importance, it
might be expected that he Should state what had been
the results of its oration. He had the satisfaction
to declare; tlintit hid been attended with the best
effects ; and )tIMC it has on ito-occasion been found.
necessary to resort to the more severe but temporary
measure,•cedthed the Insuitection Act. And with re-
spect to the permanent .measure, it had only been
found necessary to Ott in force in one single instance,
at thiddlebtti" in the County of Tipperary, where
its'ciperlations effetted almost immediate tranquillity,
and without the exercise of any extraordinary rigour.
The fact was, that the inhabitants of the districts,'
aware that the expences of the Constables, Sec. would;
fall upon them, if they were proclaimed, had a for-
cible inducement to come forward and detect the dis-
turbers, and induce the lower orders to be obedient
to the hw.• So great, indeed, had been their exer-
dons, that he had the pleasure to state that one oh the
men Who committed the horrible murder of a Magi-
strife, the patticolars of which he related' when moving
forifie 'Ballast Session, bad lately been apprehended'.
In refutation of the assertions of disaffected persons,
in al* Colllitiy, who bad represented the IM;ilStire as
uncalled, for, and only introduced to afford some new
patronage to the Government, he stated, that so fat
frotnihisbeint the case, the Superintending blaO•
sitatel had; tot salary ;• but on their representing that
they. could not act under the Bill without considerable
pecuniary losses, Government had promised to afft.ird
theta some proper indemnity.
Leave wis then given to bring in the Bill, which
was. read a first, and ordered to be read a second rinse
on Mondays
