IRISH INSURRECTION BILL.

Upon the gallery being, te-opened, we found Mr.
Brand oppofing the hint InfutiettLin Bill, moll par.
Ocularly on the ground that he cnuld not think it
advifable to conflJe the hatids of any man, however
refpeeable, the poleci of overturning the decifi .n of
a Jury.
Mr. W H 1( E A I) prupofed in reaore the words
infliaing a rnalt7 on Nl•igiittates who (lull tit to
give a retn" of thole at under them in cafes
where any -fibjelt may think himfelf injured, tither
in perfon. property, or family, This was not
fible, confittent with the lornts of the Hnufe, unlefs an
cogroffed chtufe was ready for that purple.
Mr. W. SW l'H propnfed that in comfequence of

lean the numbers, but undertland that it was 101 l by
a c onfiderable majority.

By this time the claufe was engrofed $ upon the

ther divition, the niishers alfo ookomvo, but laid to

Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved the alteration of
the duration of the bill from two years to one.

Upon this another divifioit took plate—For the

Upon the queflion that this bill do pals, a very in•
terelling debate took Place, which the lateneis of the
boor al-me precludes us from giving in detail.
Mr. WARD declared that he voted for the bill on
the autivAity of Mr Grattan only.
Lord MILTON, te,•ing that Miniflers refilled dif
coffion on evet y chute, and, without aligning any
realm, willed to their intuiting majority only, uts•
pored the pilling of die bill.
Mr. stiERIBANT cnnld not agree to the Bill in
any &ape ; but moll Orticularly the Amendments,
which would make it in form degree palatable. were
related. If, faid he, the time, of reading the Bill a
third time had afforded me the ben polEble oppor.

iage. l< certainly did with, and meth tp have fe-

lefled the fitteft occafion fur giving fully my reafon
for the abhorrence I feel for its principle, and the
contempt I entertain for its, provilions ; but circum-
fiances have tince ernbarraffed my judgment, and I
will Hate them fbnrtly•and fincerely. When I find
the priociple of the Bill admitted on the plea of ne.
ceflity by all thole to whole judgment and informa•ion
I am bound to give the utmnil deference, when I find
I cannot oppofe their acquiefcence without arraying
my knowledge of the fat. of the real fituatinn and
temper of Ireland againft their forerior means of in
formation, I feel the prefomption and hazard of taking
urn myfclf the refponfibility of an earners endeavour
to, per fuade-the Houle to reject a meafure which I am
almoli tingle in regarding as the worn, the route!,
and the fonlilheft meafure, that ever folicite I the
fandlion of Parliament; but Hill more am I influenced
by obferving in my attendance on the Committee,
.where I avow to have fhunned taking any parr,
wanting my hands, and abfnlving my confcience from
meddling with, or tampering in any attempt to mend
that which is Co hateful in principle, that it is perhaps
bell that it Ihnuld carry with it all its unequal pro.
portion of deformity. I fay, I cannot but have been
induced to forego my firth determination, by ohferving
that Cu many efforts at modification, moved by moil
relpeClable charafters, and fupported by the moll un-
anfwerable arguments, have been rejeaed and repro.
bated by infulting majorities.

Mr. GRATTAN declared, that he was informed
that Meer,in,i of a treafonable nature were held in
Irelan.f. He did not mean to aecnfe his country-
men of treafon or difaffeetion ; but he was certain,
that there was a French party in Ireland ; it was
againfl them, and not againti Irilhmen, that the ope-
ration of the Bill was diraled ; and f. over than run
a !ilk of toting the Conllitutinn altogether, he wont]
take up n himfelf his full (hare in common with his
Majefty's Minitters, of the refponfibility which would
attach to the'nieaftire.
