EX• omen) Peosocurlort.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he understood that an ex
officio prosecution bad been commenced against a
Mr. Fitzgerald, a, printer in Dublin, for the publica•
tion of a pamphlet containing a statement of the va-

lions acts which affect the Roman Catholics, mom.
panied with observations. He had read the pam-
phlet, and saw In it nothing libellous but the Acts
themselves. The Noble Lord opposite had-talked of
employing the recess in conciliating the Catholics,
but this was a singular step towards harmony and
conciliation. What he wanted to know was, whe-
ther this prosecution originated here, or was merely
the recommendation of sonic Crown Lawyer in Ire-
land ? The body of the notice served on Fitzgerald
was extremely curious. It was a notice given by a
Mr. Kemmis, requiring him to show cause before
Mr. Saurin, the Attorney General, at his house in
Stephen's-green, Dublin, why a criminal informa-
tion should not be filed, against him. He would
submit that a proceeding of this nature was quite
illegal—(Hear, bear),—aud should now move fur the
production of a copy of it.
Lord CASTLE R EAGH declared, that if was the
first time be had heard any thing on the subject;
and hoped that the Right . Hon. Gentleman would
not press his motion without a notice.
Mr. SHERIDAN acceded to this wish, and fixed
his notice for to-morrow.
