to confess that he was not favourable to the calling out of the

Mr. OCONNEI.I4 hoped Wu printing of the petition
would be pressed. If the atrocious yeomanry force were
continued armed, he would not answer for the blood that the
Marquis of Anglesey and the right hon. gentleman well
thereby cause to be shed. The mild language of the right
ton. gentleman would do no good—tor it could not he for.

repeated the names of the parties to whom arms were refused.
He had underwtood that the aiming of the yeomanry was to
cease ; hut since then aims had been delivered. and very im-
ptoper characters had got arms. As to any investigation
into the Newtownharry affair, the honourabk gentleman said
be was not an sanguine as to expect it ; but he complained
that the yeomanry there had been armed at all, for it was a
sirs of classic ground for outrages of this kind. In that
straw the officers would not give ordain to ire and yet the
men fired. The petition would he reechoed throughout
Ireland. If increased protection were required—protection
roe which the people paid .let the army be increased; the
army and the people were on the best terms; but if they
scored to stop the progress of ill feeling and the shedding
ot blood, he implored the (loves nment to disarm the yea
netnry.
Nit. CoLE vindicated the conduct of the Fermanagh
31a,istmtes.
Mr. BROW NLON' lamented that the yeomanry corps, I
which were almost extinct. had been revived; it was a fatal
step. He spoke of them as bodies, not in their individual
and private capacity. The results were most calamitous.
The right honourable gentleman had not given any sufficient
'awn for calling out the yeomanry.
Sir .1. BURKE said, when people were fired urn with-
out any Riot Act having been read, he knew not what ba-
guette would be too strong to use. He saw no reason for
re.i-ting the printing of the petition, and contended that the
somaitry force was a bad force for Ireland. (Hear.) He
•Nould vote for the printing of the petition.
Sir. J. NEWPORT observed, that he had uniformly
o..strproved of the yeomanry forte in Ireland; he doubted
their utility in England. but they were ten thousand times
more objectioosble in Ireland. He lamented that the pine*
in,t of the petition was ohj.cted to, parkularly on so pe.
et hat so occasion as the resent; and be hoped that the
Cu• ovemnnt would avail themselves of theearliest possible
e?nortunity. to remodel the force for the protection of
I r.tlanti.—(Hear.)
Sir GE. t. CLERIC said. he should oppose the printing
of the emition. because the Newtownbarry affair, called a
ronssacre," was now under investigation. It would In.
te-t't..re with the fete course of justice la Ireland.
Capt. (JORDON hoped that the resistance to the print.
to lof the petition would be persevered in. Did they forget
the services of the yeomanry in 1798? But if these nightly
attacks and vituperations were continued, he would Wog
forward the conduct of the yeomanry to whom England and
Ireland were so infinitely indebted for the preservation of
their liberties.
Mr. S. RICE lamented the attacks and language of the
hon. *ember who last spoke, for his family's interests and
fortunes were not bound up with the fate of Ireland. If,
however. as an honest man, there was one allusion more us.
favourable than another, it was reference to 1796. (Hoer.)
• As to the bringing forward of these matters, he was gled
there was the opportunity; but the printing of the petition
was resisted in the way of appeal. the subj. et complained of
being new under judicial investigation. The primiag now
*mad be of •U consequence, as the p:titlun would go
forth through Gee usual channel.
V.r. W. F. WIRT said. that the prineple on which the
yeomanry corps were established was vicious. They were not
deficient in loyalty. their fault was their superfluous loyalty.

Mr. STANLEY had not opposed the printing of the pe.
titian on any Government pounds, but because inquiries
were in program, and thought at such a moment they ought
sot to circulate language charging murders. If the House
pressed the rioting of the petition he should not trouble
them to divide.
Mr. CONOLI.Y was spinet the printing of the petition,
on the ground of the language it used, ohm inquiry was in
progress.
Mr. GRATTAN said, if the state of Ireland required
the awning of the yeomanry. the case should have been
proved by Committee. or otherwise ; but the Government
lead made out no ease for the arming ot so large and pejo.
diciel a force. If arms were given they ought to belleerill
in discreet hands. If the Governmetit thought they mild
resist the discussion of the question of the Union by
manry and balls, they were mistaken ; such a p ing
was oppression.
Sir R. INGLIS said he should resist the printing of the
petition containing inch violent language. charging the
yeomanry with seeking any pretest to commit murder.
Mr LAMBERT maintained that there was not the least
ground for the attack at Newtownbarry--.there was no riot.
Arms had been placed in most improper hands In Wee.

desirous that the connection should matinee but nothing
would be so fatal to its continuance as would be the with-
