mezttL-tA kiwi in At tharey liscan)-44t,
wished to save alfts,opo by putting an end to aU,
minal prosecutions; and that too, in the present aria
of Ireland I He (Mr. Peek) Would leave the Hong,
to judge with what safety thu could be done. Lastly,
be wished to reduce the very Government of Ireland,
on so large a scale were all his ideas of economyi
General MATt4EW concurred with the Honour-
able Baronet as to the great reduction that Might be
effecied. The law expenses were enormous. The
county of Tipperary had been put to the charge of
*8,300 in three months, though it might have done
much better without the police that haalwen sent in.
These Gentlemen bad been totally inefficient; the/
had not produced one conviction ; they were only tlre
object of ridicule, and (he meant no disrespect) went
by the name of peelers—Of laugh).—Many persons
would have been taken pp, if it had not beer) for
these peelers; but none of the murderers of Mr. Baker
had hitherto been taken. It might be said, that all
the expense of such proceedings fell on the county,
and so the fact :night be; but the expense fell on the
innocent, and not on the guilty.
Here Mr. FITZGERALD rose to order, when
General MATHEW, recurring to the state of the
revenue, observed, that though he might not think
quite so much as three millions could be. saved, as
stated by an Honourable Baronet, yet he was con.
vinced that the Lord Lieutenant was of no use what-
ever, and that all the expense he put the country- to
was just so naach mcney thrown away. He had
nothing upon earth to do but to go to Phoenix Park
and back again,with his six horses. Then his &ere-
tary was of no use whatever ; he only tsouhled the
country s there were also an Under-Secretary and a
Secretary at War, who had no employment what-
ever. Ireland had, since the Union, been nothing
more than a province ; but he saw no reason why
she should not be governed like Scotland, or any
other part of the Empire. Nothing could be hoped
for till she possessed a body of respectable resident
Gentlemen, but now the whole of Dublin was in pos-
session of the Lord Lieutenant, Lawyers, and At-
toruies. The few Noblemen who came thither never
thought of residing, but went to Hotels in all the
different streets. (A laugh.) The whole expense of
the mock Court might be saved, and the buildings
used for a Custom-house, instead of erecting a new
one. He called it a mock Crust, for it was attracted
only by the immediate Government connexion. A
large saving might he made in the enfirmous Barrack
Department : all the way from Dublin to Cot k there
were Barrack-masters paid for doing nothing. •
Mr. V. FITZGERALD explained.
Mr. CROKER vindicated the Munster Bit from
the charges of the Member for Norwich.
Mr. W. SMITH explained.
Mr. J. P. GRAN r wished to know whether he
