COMMON COUNCIL, DUBLIN,

• • REPEAL OF THE UNION.
- QUARTER. ASSEMBLY, JULY 20, 1810.
After the dispatch of the usual business relative
to the admission of persons to the freedom of the
City,. Mr..SlNNrr•r moved for the appointment of a
Committee to take into consideration the condition of
their poor fellow-citizens, the manufacturers of Dub-
lin, and to devise the method of affording them relief.
CIFTARD seconded the motion. He thought
it the bounden duty of every Inan to endeavour to
alleviate the distresses of the poor artisans of Dublin,
and-hoped, however Gentlemen might differ on other
topics, that there would be only one opinion on the
question before them. He could assure them, that
at the meeting of the Privy Council, men of oprisite
political principles had attended, and that all party
dissention had gi en way to the feeling of humanity ;
that they all most cordially concurred in endeavour-
ing to give effect to the benevolea intention of the
Lord Lieutenant, to alleviate the miseries of the
wretched artisans of the tits' of Dublin. He then
recommended the consumption of home-made manu-
factures, and entered into a calculation to shew
the great relief that would be given to the poor, if
only 5000 persons could be found (though he was
sure that more could be found) to expend RIO each
in the purchase of articles of weir. Let us imitate,
in our little Council, the unanimity which prevailed
at the Castle.. 1 hope that all party dissention will
be forgotten in our endeavours to relieve the mise-
ries of our fellow-citizens, and that our only conten-
tion will be in yielding to each ()chef who will be the
foremost.

A Committee was accordingly appointed, who hav-
ing retired, came to three resolutions ; the first, highly
approving the plan of subscription proposed by his
Grace the Lord Lieutenant ; the second, to promote
the use and consumption of Irish Manufactures ; and
the third to appoint Committees to go through the se-
veral Parishes, and receive the signatures of such per-
sons as were disposed to follow those humane and ne-
cessarymeasures.

Mr. Hurros then made his promised motion for the
repeal of the Union. He prefaced it by a very short
speech, in which he adverted to the misery of his
fellow-citizens, bereft of employment, and perishing
from absolute hunger. He said that their unparalleled
wretchedness onola to awaken the feelings of hums.
nity to make every possible exertibn to alleviate their
sniferings. He then mentioned, that he had brought
to the House three Resolutions, but that the appoint-
ment of the Committee which had just taken place,
superseded the necessity of his proposing one of them,
he therefore read only the other two, uhich were as
follow :
Recut...A, That we now feel as we have an unshaken loyalty
to out Sovereign, King George the Third, and the Succession
of his Royal House; and we have to lament that his Majesty
should have been so grossly imposed on by Ids Minister., us in
terminating the last Sessions of Parliament, to state the growing
prosperity of Ireland, when his Ministers, in making such r2pre-
sensations to his Mles:youtist have kiios..l that the very reverse
was and is the tact,

Resolved, That the ?regent distress and growing misfortunes
of Ireland have arisen from not having a residcm Parliaaunt,
who alone would he capable of knowing tl r real want, of this
country, and provitlii g for it adequate rernedie:; and we are the
more foram, in this oar opinion t.y the manner in which the
late monstrous system of taxation wa, imposed on t:tis Country ;
and which is contrary to every sound principle of Legislation ;
we therefore appeal to one countrymen and Fellow-Citizt ns to
come forward in Corporate Bodies, and in County .and Grand
Jury Meetings, to demand a restoration of that Constitution
which is our Birthrigit, and of which" we have been dispossessed
by Friud and Corruption.
Mr. HUTTON ellen adverted to the immense im-
ports from England, and to the great drain of money
from Ireland to support absentees, and to pay the in-
terest of the sums borrowed in England, as this coun-
try was so poor as not to be able to advance money
for the service of Government.

Mr. GIFFARD complained of the advantage which 1
any Gentleman, valin brought forward any motion, I
had over the persQn. who. might undertake to reply to
him, inasmuch as he may taketis measures at leisure, I i
and know what he intends doing beforehand; whereas
the defence must arise upon 'the moment—that the
first part of the first resolution was unnecessary, as I
the loyalty of the Corponition 'was undoubted and
unimpeachable, but the second was in itself an 'Alicia- 1.1
cious and arrogant .attack on his Majesty. If ever
insolence was shess n, it is in that resolution—who is i
the bi;ld m:m that will dare to say that the King was
imposed on ? how does he know it—was he in the
Cabinet—did lie hear the advice given to the King ?
There are two kinds of patriotism—one is by deci:-
matory speeches to irritate the per pie, regardless of;
consequences. He then denied that the present tin.
14timate state of credit arose from the political cit.-
cuntstances of the country, and contended, that as the
distress was as general in England as in Ireland, that ;
it originated from unbounded speculation in men with 1
small capital ; and in order to prove the prosperity of 1
the country, he instanced the high price of houses in I 1
the city. That if the evil were connected with the 1
Union, that X 200,000 advanced by Government-1
would not he sufficient to restore public credit—but i
that if it were sufficient, k mint afford a convincing
proof that the.miseries of manniacturers were not Un- I
putable to the Legislative Union of the two countries
—that this country had been formerly only a pro. 1
wince, but that at present, on the payment of 2-17ilts 1
of the taxes we were associated in all the glory of the
Empire, and possessed the protection of the n..ry and
army of England—that whether the money was bor•
rowed in England or Ireland, it was the same Ming,
as the interest must at all events be paid. So far as
the Resolution goes to serve the manufacturer • I will
vote for it ; but of what use is the other part ? " Cod
Bono ?" says Mr. GiGfard, I will tell you the use of it.
It is to irritate. Must the King, to please the agira. 1
tors, go back to Parliament, and say to them, " My
former speech was false ; I have been deceived by my
Ministers." The Resolutions are unnecessary, and
derogatory of the honour of the Crown—l will vote
against them ; {rut such a Resolution as that of Mr.
Sinnett's I think moderate, reasonable and rational. i
Mr. HARTY supported Mr. Hutton's Resolutions.
Mr. M'AULEY rose to oppose them ; he hated the 1
Union ; but to it all the distresses of the country were
not to be imputed ; the country was in a Routishing

daws. No fruits in the country—no, not a dessert of
savory, ruddy, sweet fruit in the country—all the
people food for gun-powder. A separation from
England, or you must have united Irishmen—ale
people sent to the mountain-top to dig for daylight;
but he could tell the cause of the wretchedness of the
country—it was caused by the voluptuousness and
:pride of the citizens of Dublin; they wtve in a ple-
thora, and wanted blood-letting ; their extravagance
' brought on the general bankruptcy of the country ;
don't say it was the Union ; you might as well say
the fire at Constantinople WAS caused by the Union.
Bankroptcy is the order of the day in England as well
as in Ireland : your bankruptcy is caused by men of no
capital, no honour, no honesty—men of no capital, or
of sm all capital, who find it their interest to keep up the
smoak of delusion—fly kites—raised like Ixion to the
clouds, their wings of paper melt, and down they drop,
and then they cry out, the Union hasdestroyed thecoun-
try! As well might theyexpcct that thegreat devomerof
the Continent, Bonaparte, would give up his usurpa-
tions in Holland. The insolvency of your country
was caused by your men of sublimity. Look at your

have been added to this refulgent galaxy. That there
were starving manufacturers long before the Union
—that they were relieved—that the Union did not
cause every misfortune—tle.t he was itinred by it—
that he did not let lodgings in his house at the hand-
some rate as formerly, though he thanked GOD still
that neither iie nor his family wanted a dish.
A short debate ensued, when Sir J. Riddall deci-
ded that the question should be pot ; it was accord.
ingly put, upon which the worthy Knight declared the
motion passed in the affirmative.
A ballot was instantly demanded by Mr. Gifford ;
when there appealed,
White Beans for the Resolution, 43—Elac1< Beans, I.s—Maj.BB.
On the second Resolution being put, Mr. GlfleAßD
opposed it, on the ground of being outrageous and
ridiculous.
Mr. Frass spoke strongly in favour of the Resolu-
tion, and declared that he would not give his vote
to any candidate who would not pledge himself to
originate or support a repeal of this most ediotts Act.
He had a vote in the Counties of Dublin and Loath,
and Mr. Foster should never get either.—(Lord44-
-He insisted that Mr. Foster cheated the
country at the time of the enactment of the Union.
After a few words from Mr. PATTaRSON, the second
Resolution was put and carried without a division.
The Resolutions were then sent up to the Board
of Aldermen for their concnrrencr, who, after some
time, sent back a mecsage, that they could not agree
with the Sheriff and Commons in those Resolutions;
but had appointed eight of their Body to form a Com-
mittee to prepare an Address to his Maiesty,,and also
a Petition to Parl:ament, and to report to the next
Assemble.
M. (NAV:7V moved, that the House do agree with
the Board of Aldermen in the appointment of a com-
mittee. Ile was seconded by Mr. Wo.t.n. On the
motion being Rut and carried, a Committee of sixteen .
was app Hinted.
Mr. FARRELL moved, that Mr. Foster's picture be
taken down out of the Mayoralty House, which was
seconded by Mr. Willis. This was opposed by Mr.
King and Mr. M'Auley.
Mr. SHAW said, the picture should not only be
taken down, hot litied by every Irishman ; he disap-
pointed his country r n the question of Union; as he
led the people to believe he would never put the
question.

Mr. K.vrerrT, and lodged in the left breast. It was
immediately extracted, but he is considered in a dan-

EDINBURGH, JULY 21.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

Monday, alter the trial of John Colston, IsArl Do-
rald,;ndicted for child murder, under the late statute,
pleaded Guilty to the concealment of her pregnancy,
and that she did not cal for help or assistance, and
th.• child was :afterwards found dead.

lieing convicted on her own confession, she was sen-
tenced to be impt;s3ned in the tolbooth of Linlithgow
till the 19th of April next.
The Court then proceeded to consider the informa-
tions in tho case of Jen,: Macfarlane, accused of tit-
tering base c.)in, when their Lordships found the libel
not relevantly laid, and dismissed the prisoner from
the bar. He was, however, apprehended on a new
warrant, and afterwards admitted to bail.

KIDNAPPING CHILDREN DETECTED AND PUNISHED.
A case of it most atrocious and aggravated nature
was determined a few days ago by the Sheriff of
Edinburgh, on a complaint of Messrs. James and Ro.
bert Bisset, manufacturers at Prinlaws, mar Leslie,
in Fife, and of the mothers and sisters of three
young boys (who had been engaged at Messrs. his-
sets' spinning-mills), with consent of the Procurator
Fiscal of the county, against John Leadbitter, some
time butcher is North Leith, for having him punished
and the boys restored to their parents.
The circamistances of the case are these : Leadbit.
ter, who for many months had been in the practice of
advertising for young boys for sea, oid, about the
middle of March last, send off by the Trafalgar
coach, which leaves Edinburgh at five o'clock every
morning for London, the said three boys for Shields
or Sunderland, to persons there, to be sent to sea, or
disposed of to the best advantage ; and for each boy,
when accepted, he received a premium of two guineas,
and was relieved of the charges of sending them to
England. The two oldest boys, of the names of
Charles Walker and John Lindsay, the former about
11, and the latter only 13 years old, were turned off
the coach at Morpeth, and sent to sea ; and the
youngest boy, William Barr, only 11 years old, was
carried forward to Shields, where he seas put on
board a vessel in the Roads for several weeks, but
hearing by accident that he was to be sent away on
some distant voyage, he privately made his escape,
without a hat on his head, or a she on his Eliot, and
begged all the way home to Leslie, a distance of
fully 140 miles, in eight days, where he was received
with inexpressible joy by his mother, a poo: widow
woman.

The mother of Lindsay traversed the country for
ten days in quest of her child, in a fit of despair, till,
by accident, at Leith, on her return to Leslie, she was I -
informed that Leadbitter was in the practice of dis.
posing of children for gain. She accordingly applied
to him ; but shocking to relate, in place of being con-
vinced that he was guilty of a wrung, he declared he
was unconscious of it. Every lenient measure to have
the boys restored to their parents proving ineffectual, •
the, application to the Sheriff before-mentioned be-
came necessary.
In the course of the investigation it turned out, that
by this merarious and inhuman traffic, Leadbitter, by
his own confession, was pocketing at the rate of about
£l2OO per annum ,• that he thought it no crime to
send the boys out of their native country, at the age
of thirteen, without the consent of their parents,
though he himself acknowledged he had a wife and
three children.

To prevent detection, he took care not to mention
the boys' names, but their numbers only, in the way-
bill of the Trafalgar coach, and was most solicitous
to prevent their escape in Edinburgh, and on their way
to Shields ; but notwithstanding, some of the boys
made their escape, Which generally ended in a-quar-
rel between the guard of the coach and Leadbitter.
The Sheriff most properly appointed Leadhitter to
attend personally in Court, to witness all the investi-
gation going on ; but he, apprehensive of his dan-
ger, fell open a stratagem to quash, if possible, the
matter entirely. On Sunday sc'nnight, he and two
other persons crossed the Forth, and travel:ed to
Dysart and Leslie, and by gross misrepresentation
did obtain from two of the unhappy women, letters
disclaiming the process, but which they understood
to be letters to the boys themselves, whom one of
the persons mentioned be had seen in good health,
and would carry the letters to them. Leadbitter
produced those most improper documents as a bar to
the action, but the women came to Edinburgh, and
satisfied the Sheriff that all was an imposition, and
required that the action might be proceeded in.—
The Sheriff upon the clearest evidence, had no he-
sitation in finding that the carrying off boys, when
in a state. of puberty, furth of Scotland, without the
knowledge or consent of their parents, is a highly ag-
gravated offence, and that the defender had acknow-
ledged himself guilty thereof ; therefore he granted
warrant to commit him to jail for the space of 14 days,
and thereafter, until he find sufficient caution, to re-
store the two boys, Walker and Lindsay, to their
relations, within the space of two months, under the
penalty of £6O sterling ; and besides, found him liable
in expences. Before pronouncing judgment, the She-
riff addressed Leadbitter in a most impressive man-
ner, importing, that if the utmost rigour of the law
had been adopted, he would perhaps have been tried
capitally, in place of suffering an arbitrary pu-
nishment. That Leadbitter having acknowledged
himself to be a husband, and the father of three chil-
dren, while he unfeelingly declared, that he was un-
conscious of guilt, struck him (the Sheriff,) more for-
cibly than any other part of his conduct. He asked
him how he would himself feel if any of his own chil-
dren had been seat off, perhaps never more to be
heard of, if he would not bt, active in bringing to
punishment such an impious offender ? Before dis-
missing him, he reminded him that parents had the
sole direction of their children till they were 14 yeati
of age ; that, in the present instance, he had deprived
them of this :Petra and comfort, by sending them off
from their native country for gain, even at the boyish
thoughtless years of 11, the age of the boy Barr,
whom he just saw at the bottom of the table, and that
Leadhitter ought therefore to be thankful for the
mild punishment to be inflicted on him, and hoped
that he now perceived the gross enormity of his
crime, and would never be guilty of the like in future.

Friday se'nnight, forty-two Methodist Preachers
oatbs prescribed, before the Justices at the
Sessions for the County of the City of Dublin.
