told that the ailministration of justice in Ireland is so
'sad, that the Catholics had no means of obtaining pis-
tice but by the course %%filth they have adopted. In
stances have been mentioned of discovered abuses; but
ho ere those abuses discover ed ?In this House. By
Cm*ittees of this House were they discovered, and by
this House they were remedied. One of those evils
was the choice of ,Sheriffs; that has been remedied.
The Magistracy require.] revision. It was revised. Other
public bodies were corrected. But all this was done with
out the aid of a Catholic Association or Parliament in
Dublin. It was done by the old-lash ioned Pa: liament here.
~,That Parliament has remedied many evils which existed
'" In Ireland, and it will remedy others. Ido not despair
or the ar rival of the day when even the grievance of
the htequality cf the Catholic conditicies will be reme-
died by Parliament. But they are greatly mistaken
hn think that de,itable event can he facilitated by
sniffling the existence of so formidable a body as the
• Cathohc Association, the guides of a people peculiarly
apt to bo urged by suiden iinpuls,e; of a people whom
they at one time tell to be quiet, and at another shew to
be ready, at a word, to make all their swords fly from
their .scabbartls—(llear, hear, hear). Sir, the Parlia-
ment of England have endeavoured, by every means
which could he devised, to consult the real good of Ire-
land. They had removed restriction after restriction,
all but that particular one which is connected with
the subject under consideration. For several years have
Parliament been so cccupied. Much has been done.—
All admit that the present prosperity of Ireland is the
result of the policy that has been pursued towards her.
TFerelore, Sir, although we may not have done every
thing that we have done, yet we have done a great deal.
I certainly do not want a Catholic Association to assist us. If they
attempt to excite our fears, they will fail, for they will enlist our
pride—at least as strong as any other feeling—against them. We
shall betray our duty; we shall do mischief to Ireland; we shall
render her incapable of enjoying the benefits which she has lately
acquired, or which she may hereafter acquire, unless we make up
our minds steadily and firmly to put an end to this Association,
which I sincerely believe to be the bane and curse of the country"—
(Hear, hear, hear! amidst conflicting cries of Question, question!
Adjourn, adjourn ! and Go on, go on!)
Mr. HUME, amidst loud cries of " adjourn" and " question,"
stated that so much had been elicited by that night's debate, that he
could not think the subject to be nearly exhausted. (d laugh.) He
therefore moved the ad;ournment of the debate. (Cries of " uo, no.")
Air.Secretar yCA N NI NG said, that although he was perfectly sa-
tisfied with the state in which the question before the house at pre-
sent stood, and should be very ready even to go to a division upon it
in that prezent state, yet, as he did not wish to preclude any Hon.
Gentl.'man from the opportunity of delivering his opinion on so
important a subject, he would not object to the proposed amendment,
provided it was understood between him and the Hon. Member
(Mr. Hume) that it should be renewed to-morrow (this) evening,
and take precedence of all other discussions.
Mr. HUME assented; and thelltaare WAS TUSSAH & AI:VISUAL=
TO THIS EVININC.
Lord PA LSIERSTON brought up and laid upon the table the
Army Estimates, and gave notice that on Monday next he would
move the same.—Adjourned at a QUASSIA TAIT ONE O'CLOCK.
