IRISH PLRRACIS.

The Order of thiedity on^a Lich their Lordfhips
a•tre fummoned, I',"RS mod, f,n taking into emit-l-
iberation a petition from Lard Vi:count Dillon, re-
-I.l;ive to an Appeal in which his Lordthip is one
of tilt. parties.

After .1 few words from Lord Vifcount CARLE•
ros,;,splanatory of the nature of the cafe, and a
Clot t esasnination of the agents at the bar by Lord
ALVA%LMY, as Speaker, the laid petition-was or-
dered to lic rectived in the ufual way.
The hhirptis of St., 00, after a few obfervations
in reference to the refolutions which were recently
made (landing orders, prefented a petition from
tarry, Earl of Farnham, an Irifh Peer, conform-
able to the mock prefcribed by one of the raid or-
ders, &c. praying that his claim may be allowed.
This circumftance, as well as a notification from
Lord REDESDALE of an intended propofition pipe
fabmitted by his Lordihip to a Committee of Pri-
.ileges on WeJneftlay, gave rife to a long &lot-
to: y, and in fome points of view, rather irregular
con verfation, in which the Marquis of Sligo, Lords
Red zfdale, Thurlow, Alvanley, Auckland, and
the Earl of Sutrolk took a past. The intended
plopofition of Lord Rcdefdale is relative to that
part of the AR of Union, and that part of the Irifh
A& incorporated therewith, which relates to the
mode of returning, &c. the Irith reprefentative
Peas ; to this he was induced by the cafe of the
return of Lord Charleville as one of the twenty.
eight Peers in the room of the late Lord Roll
more, refpetiding the correanefs of which foam
doubts teemed to be entertained. His Lordihip
noticed the practice of figning the return by the
Deputy Clerk-of the Crown inflead of the princi-
pal ; this and other points he propofed to fubmit
to the confederation of the Committee of Privi-
leges, witha view of rendering the mode more in
conformity withahe Aft of Union. The converfa.
tion above alluded to, turned on certain points of
formal qualification or eligibility of Ira Peers,
under the provifion of the Afts in qiieffion, coded
or to return reprefentative Peers—and alto on the
requifite Reps, previoufly to their tins being al-
lowed : on thefe heads much ferions tifference
opinion between their Lordthips 14 not teem to
obtain. One prominent point was. tile mode or de-
fcription of evidence which was requifite to ella-
blith the fait of the deceafe of any Peer, and that
the claimant petitioning is the tidal} fon or other
legal•heir to the title ; whether the affurance of
one or more Noble Lords in the Houfe (hould be
fuflicient, or whether, as was fometimes the mode,
it fhould be eflablithed by oath at the bar ? Thefe
and the other points adverted to, in the courfe of
the converfation, were referred for fubfequent dif-
cuflion in the Committee of Privileges, into which
it was ordered, on the motion of Lord Redefdale,
that the Houle ihould refolve itfelf en Wednefday
nest, and their Lordihips to be fununoned accord
ingly.
The farther confederation of the Petition of the
Earl of FARNHAM was poftponed to the fame day,
in confequence of which the Marquis of St.too pre-
fented Petitions from Lords CLowattoc,Astroutr,
and Vifcount BULILELEY. Thefe were ordered to
be taken into confederation the fame day.
