IRISH CnIIPRNSATIOK.

Sir. JOHN NEWPORT; after Come preliminary
Ofervitions; defcribed the nature of the AEU patted
in Ireland for the appointtnent of Commiflioners to
hear:and determine claims of eompenfation arifing
from the Union, and alto for the • compenfations
claimed for the lots of elcaive franchife. He Rated, .
that time more than enough had elapfed (ince their
• appointment, for the completion of all the bufinefs
that came before them. He mentioned a number of
Orange claims that had been fqbmitted, fuch as the
Porter to. his Excellency, and the Rat catcher, who
likewife claimed his compenfation for Ind.:6 (offered
by the Union • but this was tejelted. He concluded
brmoving, "Thatl it is the opinion of the H-ufe,
that the Objeas for which the Board of Commiffion
was appointed in Ireland, to hear and determine the
' claims of loyalifts who have (offered during the rik:
hellion. (filch claims not being admitted after No.
vember 18°61, are, or ought to have been effected,
and that their longer continuance is an ufelets even.
dilate of public money." •
Mr. N: 'VANSITTART raid, that it was the ii.
tention of his predeceffor in office to bring in a Bill for
the fuppreffion of the Board, and he fhould himfelf
take an early opportunity to introduce it. There
were force Claims yet before the Board' for compen.
ration. As Governitieht did not merit the centure
contained in the Refolntion, he fhould now move thi
previous- qualm).
Mr. W. B. PONSONBY trolled the Right Hon.
Gentleman would take an early day for that purpofe,
sad that to expeffite the bnfinefs, the Commiffioners
Would fit from day to day, and not merely on Rated
Mr. VANSITTART explained. He only waited
for Tome further inftrattions from Ireland;
Mi. CORRY laid, that nothing perfoual to himfeif
induced him to rife, as he was in no wife concerned
in the inilitotion of this Commiffion. It was thopro.
vises of the Seesitary to the Lord. Lieutenatr, and
not of the Chancellor of the Excheqher. He thought
the Lord Lieutenant unpleafandy fitstated, gs on this
occafion there was no Gentleman pretest who could.
be fald to reprefept the Irish Government. It was,
however, but bare jultice to mention that the COM- .
miflioners were by nn means liable to blame for the .
ttrangenefs of the claims prefented to them. Their -
"-btifinels was to decide upon Each as came before
them, and they were not accountable for the impra7.
prieties of the claimants.
After a few words from Mr. Wiwouam, and a de-
claration by Sir Joss Newport-, of his fatisfaaion
at what fell from Mr. VANSITTALT, the previ94...
quellion was put and carried.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT then moved a fecond
folntion, in nearly the fame terms as the former, but,
applicable to the Board of Commiffioners, for com-
penfations for loft of the ELcAivs Franchife, and li-
miting their duration to fix might hence.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw; but the pre-
• vious queftioa was carried without a.divifion.
semi:isms siecracut.
• Mr. CREEVEY moved to difcharge the order of
'the da for to-Morrow, with a view to gain further
time, that the Petitioning Freeholders, who row
flood in the rts.nt of Sir F. Burdett, might have a
lift of thole of Sir F. Burdett's votes which were
objeCted to, to which he confidered they were by law
• entitled.
H. THORNTON had flrong doubts ref:l)dt-
ing the right of Oleic Petitioners to the lifts required.
. He thought, on general principles of equity, lilts
thould not be graoted them under filch eirciimliances.
This was anew cafe. and the frouA ought to efia;
blab a precedent by their decifion up•la it. The
queftion was, whether they flood in the place of Sir
F. Burdett, when a fitting Member, or when he with-
drew.his oppofition to the Petition on the other file :
he thought they were in later cafe. Sir F. Bur-
dett had failed' to comply with the injunaion of the
Houfe, and had he come before a Committee lie could
not have made his ob jedions to Mr. Mainwaring's
votes. That inability ought to attach alto upon thofe
who flood in his room. The Hon. Member then
flamed the bad confequences that might refult from
allowing the praaice in this inflance, and condemned
the delays that had taken place. for the purpofe, ap-
-parently of procrallination and .expence. '1 he thirty
gays allowed the :Petitioners had been taken full ad-
vantage of, for they did not appear till the 29th day.
'The exchangingfills put off the bufinefs Rill further,
.laid the dote of the-Seffion was at band. As to col-
there.dirkfeem tomething remarkable in this,
Mr. Gawler and the other five Petitioners having been
ill Sir F. Burtlett's:,Committeemten. The agents,
koo,. were 211 the foie pedant' and the whole teemed
to be a piece of atistigemept between Sir F. Burdett
and a few of his voters.. He hoped the Houle would,
if poffible, bring the matter to an end this Stffion,
and therefore fuller no farther unteceffary delays.
Mr. CREEVEY was ready to admit that the pe-
titionershad certainly tired their 'advantage to the
full length, and that in there being no lift delfvered
in from Sir Francis Burdett, there was tome appear-
ance of a collufion ; but dill the arguments of the
Hon. Member were againft the law as it flood, and
scrub'y the flouts had no difcretion to ontravene

r! it law. However, the Houle had certainly Tome
'::tetion to exeicife upon the circumßances of the
c • r ; and it was not his Mite to prefs the grant of a
very Img day. He only would defire that lifts might
r rktL.l:Fcti on Friday, and that the petition be
talc, n into corfideration on Monday.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL admitted the
eard,nr with which the Hon. and Leai ned Gen-
dem, n 'aged his point,, batitill thought the Hoofe,
in cxerciiiPg its difcretion. ought only to allow the
fh,ried Jay poilible, as the petitioners, tinder all the
circumftances of the cafe, were entitled to no indul-
ence. lie was therefore for exchanging lilts on
WeJnefday, and proceeding to the ballot on Friday.
Mr. MELLISH *as of the fame opinion. Mr.
Mainwaring had complied with the orders of the
I! ,ufe, in deliveting in his lift of objefted votes. Sir
Yraircis Burnett had that lift, but returned none on
not In tranfaaions of this kind between Gen-
tlemen of that /Inuit* as Sir Francis Burdett thought
tie to make no return, it might have been rcafonably
expeded that the lift of Mr. Mainwaring would have
been returned unopened. There was, however, tea•
ion to conclude that every advahtage had been taken
of it ; and it appeared to him that there had been
very grofs collulion between Sir Francis and the pre-
terit petitioner:, who were all committee.men for ma-
nagin his eleSion. The petiliemets, betide, bad full
thirty days allowed them to bring fotward their pre-
fent p. tition ; and yet they took every advantage of
deferring it till the twenty-ninth day. in his mind.
therefore. their petition ought not to be allowed ; for
in tight they ought to Rand in the fitnation of Sir
Francis Burdett himfelf, who would have no right
to object againft any vote of Mr. Mainwaring's be.
fore a Committee, having hieafelf delivered in no ER
within the time required by law.
Er. FOX contended, that the petitioners forfeited
no right whatever, by any failure on the part of Sir
P. Burdett to return a lilt ; and as to their not bring-
ing forward their Petition until the agth day, they
slid no more than nfe the latitude and diferetion which
Parlianacntin its wifdnm thought fit to allow, and there
for., they had done nothing to jradify loch abufe.
After a few words mote from Mr. WiLnearoacs
and Mr. STURGIS BOURNS for a filmier day. it was
agreed) that lids fhould be exchanged on Thurfday,
and the Conimitte- for confidcring the Petition bal-
k:tett on Friday.
